i was trained as a scientist my
background's in the in the hard sciences
physical sciences the earth sciences
uh in the 60s and 70s when i received
that training
there was no uh no room
for the possibility of the kind of
things that we're talking about now the
kinds of things that suggest that
our inner world and our inner thoughts
feelings emotions beliefs in any way
affect the world
around us and it was through direct
experience
what i began to understand was that this
is the great secret that everyone knows
except us
in the west uh almost any other culture
that we go to from
the monasteries in egypt and uh in tibet
and
india into bolivia and peru the
indigenous traditions little villages in
the andes mountains they all know
that there is this experience that we
can have inside of our bodies that
affects our world in some way and our
science simply
uh has not allowed for that historically
well i was trained as a scientist and i
was trained to look in the world around
me for my answers so i began to go to
these places
i began to go into the monasteries of
all the places that i mentioned
and it was through the direct experience
of of sitting in the presence of people
who have lived and practiced
uh the the kinds of traditions that
louise hay and the the other authors i'm
i'm so blessed to be sharing this the
stage in this information with
but they they teach about and what we
begin to understand
is that this is the place where science
got it wrong
two places two assumptions that science
is made
modern science uh and they're they're
coming full circle and correcting that
now but the first one is
that the space that we believe is empty
is not really so empty it's it's full of
of a living essence of a living material
that we're only beginning to understand
number one
and number two the fact and it is a fact
now
that we may have experiences inside of
our bodies that
influence the world beyond our bodies
through the conduit of what's in this
space
so it was in going into the monasteries
and the nunneries and speaking with the
indigenous people
looking at them eye to eye heart to
heart god to god and i could say to
these people
when you just perform that miracle
when you just perform that miraculous
healing
what is it that you did inside of your
body to make that happen
and if i didn't understand what they
told me i'd ask them again and again and
again through the translators
until i understood that they were
creating
an experience producing an effect inside
of their bodies that my science
never told me was possible or existed
and that was the path
that led me and i just want to emphasize
science is good
and i believe our science is good and
served us well it simply is incomplete
and so it was that path uh that allowed
me to
flesh out the missing pieces that we're
only beginning to understand today
marrying the best science of our time
with the wisdom 5 000 years of wisdom of
our past
into a greater understanding and that
understanding brings us right back to
the question
that's a long answer to a short question
but it's it's it brings us back to where
we're only now beginning to understand
that there is something that we can do
in our lives that influence
not only the the physical body uh
ours and those of other people around us
but but literally influence
the physical reality of our world and
that changes everything
it changes everything that we in the
west believe about ourselves
so as a scientist i've also come to
understand this is a very different way
for many people
to think about themselves in their world
and
and i've found that there is a there's a
learning curve
that our audiences and our friends and
families and co-workers in my career
at the water fountain this is not
something that people typically talk
about in a a technical organization
they don't wake up in the morning and
say what kinds of feelings
what kinds of dreams what kinds of
healings did you have over the weekend
and they're talking about who won the
football game and who won the lotteries
but this is this is where it brings us
the relevance in our lives because we
all are having experiences every day
whether we are consciously aware of it
or not those experiences
are physically affecting our bodies in
our world
what western science now is beginning to
understand only
in the last years the 20th and now the
first years of the 21st century
it is now a scientific fact that the the
space between things is anything but
empty
it is full of a living pulsating essence
that is so new scientists have yet to
agree on a single term
some are calling it a quantum hologram
very technical sounding name
um dr edgar mitchell the former apollo
astronaut
i've had the honor of sharing a stage
with him a number of times he calls it
nature's mind
stephen hawking calls it the mind of god
others simply call it the field
1944 the father of quantum physics max
planck
identified the existence of this field
and he called it the matrix
he said underlying everything that we
see our bodies included
everything we see in the world around us
in our bodies he said
there is the existence of of what must
be a conscious and intelligent mind
this is his language in 1944 he said
that this mind is the matrix of all
matter and it's from
his work that the movie series began and
and
many of the ideas that we have today so
what we know is this
is that we have the opportunity to
influence that field
in ways now that we're only beginning to
understand it's done through the human
heart it's not a thinking process
thoughts are important the ancients made
the distinction between thoughts
and feelings and emotions and it's the
feelings that are
centered in our heart what are called
coherent heart based emotions
we know that when we feel a feeling of
love compassion understanding
forgiveness we change the self-esteem
uh that there's an effect from that that
the changes the electrical and the
magnetic fields
in our heart and that those fields
literally change the stuff that our
world is made of
around our bodies our hearts are the
strongest magnetic field in our bodies
and our our hearts are the strongest
electrical field in our bodies much more
so than the brain while the brain
does create those kinds of fields the
heart is many times stronger
and what the science now is showing is
that when you can change the field
that the atom is in you change the atom
and we're made of those atoms
so we have feelings in our hearts we're
changing the field
that connects the stuff everything is
made of and we literally are altering
our physical reality
in ways that sound miraculous uh in
western science
but again this is the great secret
everyone knows except us
because western science has only arrived
at this understanding
you go these ancient indigenous
traditions and cultures it's where they
begin
they begin with the understanding sure
everything's connected and sure we're
part of it
and then they take us one step further
and they say here i'll show you i'll
show you
how to create the effects in your body
so that you can
that you can heal your body and you can
heal the bodies of others you can change
your self-esteem and your body will
mirror
that change it doesn't have to be a long
slow drawn out process it can happen
very very quickly it can happen in a
matter of minutes
we have we have video documentation from
medicineless hospitals in beijing china
for example where they understand these
practices and they've employed them
for for several thousand years and we
can look into the body
of a living woman with a cancerous tumor
that western science says is inoperable
and then we can watch as
three practitioners that understand the
language of human emotion
they create the feeling in their bodies
they're not looking at that tumor as an
illness
they see that woman is whole healthy
vital completely
enabled fully capacitated and as they
feel that feeling
strongly among themselves her physical
body mirrors that
and we can see it through sonograms we
can see that tumor disappear in less
than three minutes
and that's how quickly reality can
change and this is where the disconnect
comes in with western science
because i've shared this information
with scientists and medical doctors all
over the world and they said wow
that's a miracle we're going to have to
come back and study this and we will as
soon as we find a cure for cancer or as
soon as we
we find the the the cure
to cure on the mechanical level what
they see is a mechanical process and
what we now know is
is our physical body is the out
picturing
uh is is the mirror of something that is
not so physical
and this is this is where science now is
is only arriving
the three practitioners in the
medicineless hospital in beijing did not
judge that cancerous tumor
they didn't judge it right wrong good or
bad they said it's a quantum possibility
and there are many possibilities of
course
this is just one they said now we're
going to choose another one this is a
subtle and very very different way of
looking at things
because they acknowledge what is and
invite
a new possibility rather than
having a charge on on what is there and
feeling that somehow
we have to manipulate or cut out in the
case of a tumor
or change hammer the physical reality in
the submission
what they're doing is acknowledging that
that moment that example and they're
changing it on the level of what we call
the quantum blueprint
they're feeling the feeling as if
another possibility has
has occurred and in doing so allowing
that possibility to replace the one that
exists without
judging the one that exists
i worked uh i was an aerospace engineer
in
denver colorado during the last years of
the cold war the 1980s and it was when
the famous brown cloud was inundating
denver and
we couldn't all drive on the same days
we had to carpool on different days and
one day i went to an engineer friend's
house to do my carpool for that week
and i got there a little early and i've
never been to his house before and i
said can i use your bathroom
and i went in there and he had little
post-it notes of affirmations all over
the bathroom and said my perfect mate
is manifesting for me now my perfect
mate is manifesting for me now we got in
his car
and he had little post-it notes all over
the dashboard in the rearview mirror my
perfect mate is manifesting for me now
and of course i knew what his office
looked like and it was the same way had
them all over the walls in the crt
i said does this affirmation work for
you he said nah
he said he said never does and i said
why do you think that is and he said
well look at me who'd want to be with
somebody
like me i'm just an engineer you know he
had a very low self-esteem about himself
and i began to think about the way that
he was applying those affirmations and
other people have applied them very
successfully
and what i found the difference was for
him it was it was
a thought process that never went beyond
what was happening in his mind in his
own picturing his own self-esteem
and the thought is important the
ancients are very clear about this in
the sanskrit text they they tell us that
the thought
is the image of the quantum possibility
so in other words in in the realm of all
possibilities everything
already exists my friend's perfect
relationship and the worst one he'll
ever have
uh the lightest of the light the darkest
of the dark our our
greatest healing and our greatest
suffering they're already there
and what they invite us to do in these
ancient traditions
is to reach into those possibilities
with our mind this is the power of the
mind
and isolate we lock in one of those
possibilities
so now we have taken it and identified
it
however to bring it into this world to
breathe
life into that possibilities the power
of human emotion
our love for that possibility or our
fear of that possibility either one will
work
to bring that quantum possibility into
the particle reality of our everyday
lives
we don't have to know that sounds very
technical we just have a feeling
but this is the science of appears to be
the science of how these things are
working
so this is why our self-esteem is so
important when we feel
my engineer friend felt that
why would anybody want to be with me as
was what he said to me
the affirmation for him was an empty
affirmation
it was a thought that had no energy to
invite it into this world
uh and and an example of just the
opposite of that
is i know of other people who have
simply made a list
of all of the attributes of a perfect
partner in life because this is what
many people i'm using as
example it works in healing it works in
peace but we're talking about
relationships
they make a a list of all those
attributes and then
then they come from the place that that
relationship
is already happening what what is their
life like how is their life different
now that that perfect partner is there
how is their evening different how do
they spend their time differently how
they feel when they wake up in the
morning and share their lives with
someone
and it's those feelings that they live
throughout the day it's not something
you sit down and do for a minute and
then you get up and walk away
rather it's something that we become we
live our lives as if
these experiences have already happened
in that way we invite them into our
lives and they happen frighteningly
quickly for some people
uh it's amazing i know people that
haven't finished their list and they go
out for lunch
or a cup of coffee while they're making
the list and the person that just
brought them their lunch is the person
that's on that list and they fall in
love and they're married and they're
married 20 years later
i know people that's happened to so it's
about clarity
it's about specificity uh it's about
being personal
uh being very clear that these are
personal desires
scientifically it appears that
this field the divine matrix
uh it is a mirror uh and a bridge
between our inner and our outer worlds
and it can only give us what we give it
to work with
and the interesting thing is that we
have been conditioned to feel the
feelings of the things that we don't
want in life
and that we're afraid of we wake up in
the morning and we see the six o'clock
news and all the things to be afraid of
and then we go through our day
saying oh i hope i'm not going to see
that today or i hope it's not around the
corner
and in my question so fascinatingly
where do we learn to feel the things
that we don't want
rather than things that we choose to
have and how would our lives be
different if we
if we could cut through all all of the
um
of the static and simply choose in our
lives what we would like each moment of
each day or our relationships or our
abundance or our careers or
the peace in our families to look like
what would our what would our lives look
like if we could do that
and there's very good very good
scientific evidence showing precisely
what our lives would look like because
because we would very quickly
experience everything that we've created
as a scientist one of the first things i
had to understand and again my training
i was trained in the hard sciences and
there was no allowance
for any inner experience uh to have have
an effect on our outer world to begin
with number two i was raised
in a relatively conservative community
in the midwest i was born in missouri
kansas city missouri excuse me in that
part of the world
when you talk about emotions they kind
of get lumped into this
nebulous experience oh your thoughts
feelings emotions are all the same thing
we really don't talk about them much and
by the way as a male we don't want to
see much of yours so
that was that was my upbringing so i
began to understand
when we go into the other cultures and
i'm referring again and again to this
wisdom we had this wisdom in
western cultures and was lost in the
fourth century about 1700 years ago was
edited right out of our most cherished
uh spiritual and religious traditions
the biblical edits of the fourth century
it was not edited from the other
cultures
uh that that we've visited and that's
the value of going into these cultures
and they identify
three separate yet related experiences
that we all have in our bodies
and they literally call them thought
feeling and emotion
and here's the difference the thinking
they identify with the three upper
energy centers of the body the sanskrit
traditions
have a seven energy center or seventh
chakra system that they work with
and they say the upper three are related
what we call thought or logic
processes so when we think about
something we picture it in our mind that
perfect relationship or
peace between nations but we can only
invite it into our lives
when we breathe the power of emotion
into that thought the emotion
comes from the lower three of those
creative centers in our bodies
so when we breathe the power of emotion
into our thought we imbue that thought
with life and those two energies meet in
the one center that
is not accounted for yet in our model
it's in our heart or what science is
called the seven layer liquid crystal
oscillator
in the center of our chest but we'll
just call it our heart because
that's what it does our heart is
creating electrical and magnetic waves
that are influencing the world around us
based on what we think and the emotion
that we breathe into those thoughts to
create the feeling
so now we've just defined feeling
feeling by definition
from the sanskrit tradition is the union
of thought and emotion
creates the feeling and what makes this
really interesting
is that those traditions say we are
capable of only two primary emotions
love and whatever we feel the opposite
of
love is and when you get really deep
into the teachings
there are two aspects of the same thing
but what they say is when we have
our thought we are either breathing the
love of that thought or our fear of that
thought
to create the feeling and the feeling
then becomes sadness
or joy or compassion or anger those are
not emotions those are feelings
now for some people they say well you
know it's it's a
you're nitpicking what difference could
it make and these are the subtle
differences between these
these ancient ways of viewing this inner
technology it's literally a technology
because we can have the same thought or
the same affirmation
and imbue it with a different emotion
and have completely different feelings
and create a different
a different outcome and this is the
great secret that was edited out of our
christian and pre-christian
judeo-christian traditions
uh when 45 books were removed in the
fourth century 20 were taken out
completely
another 25 were condensed and rearranged
and we know this because we found the
information now in the dead sea scrolls
the nog hamadi library the coptic
dynastic texts
so we know what those texts would have
said if if
we had had them but the interesting
thing is without those texts
we we tend
to rely upon the written word the
validation
to feel that power in our bodies i think
everyone senses
or suspects there's an untapped
potential in the human body
been on every continent of the earth and
i've asked every every audience i've
ever been in do you feel that that's
there and they say yes
we feel there's something there but but
we just can't quite
get it why is that so we have a
feeling that there's more to us but we
rely
on a written validation in a 5 000 year
old text or a scientific study to tell
us that it's true
and this is i think the value of going
into those texts is we get to see the
words
that literally say uh in the gospel of
thomas
the lost gospel of thomas it literally
says when these two
become one when thought and emotion
become one
then you'll say to the mountain move and
the mountain will move
and i used to think that that was a
metaphor and i now have seen enough to
know that
moving a cancerous tumor inside the body
of a living woman
that's moving a mountain to me and and
it's all done
from marrying thought and emotion
together
1998 i had my my first journey into the
highlands of
central china and tibet and it was
during that time
we were given a personal audience with
an abbot uh who's an elderly
uh leader of a particular sect in the
monastery
and this abbott passed just a couple of
years ago so i'm glad that we spoke with
him when when we did
and it was this man i asked the question
that i asked every monk every nun i
asked the shaman in
peru and bolivia i had the clearest
response from this man
and i asked him a question i said when
we see your prayers on the outside and
we see you in the
in the chanting hall for 12 16 18 hours
a day and we see the bells and the bowls
and the mutras and the mantras and the
gongs and the chimes and the incense
when we see your prayers on the outside
i said what are you doing on the inside
and this was the man that looked at me
he said you've never seen our prayers
because a prayer cannot be seen he said
what you see are the things we do to
create the feeling in our body and the
feeling
is the prayer and then he turned the
question on me and he said how do you do
this in your culture
through a translator and i began to
think about this
and realize that when we lost the words
in our most
cherished spiritual traditions that tell
us that
feeling is a language that speaks to our
bodies in this world and we lost the
words
that validated that we began to think
that the words themselves were the
prayers
and if we say or the affirmations and if
we say those words the right number of
times the right time of day or the right
time of year
that we've said our prayer or our
affirmation and then if it doesn't work
we get frustrated and we say well my
prayer didn't work or my affirmation is
not working for me
because we lost the link with feeling
and emotion
when i was in the monasteries in tibet
and the abbott had passed a new abbott
took his place who was already in his
mid 80s he's the new young abbott he's
already in his mid 80s
and i asked him the question this was in
2005 we just went back
and i asked him a question and i said i
said what is the force
in your tradition in your belief system
what is the force
that connects the universe what's the
force that holds everything together
and through the translator he answered
me with one word
and i thought i heard it incorrectly i
said would you do that again
and he came back and he answered me with
one word and he said compassion
and i said well wait a minute i says
compassion
a force that holds everything together
or is it a feeling that we experience in
our bodies and he said yes
and that was very powerful for me to
understand that because it says that we
have the ability to feel
in our bodies the stuff that holds this
universe together
and we're really not so different from
those quantum particles in the stars
beyond us
or in the tumor that's in front of us in
the suffering of our loved ones or in
the peace between the nations it's all
part of the same thing
the challenge is to make it more than an
intellectual exercise how do we know
we're part
of all that is one of the ways that help
me come to that realization there was an
experiment that was done in 1997
in geneva switzerland made world
headlines 3 500
reporters from the science journals were
there they they documented this
experiment and it didn't
didn't make the cover of time magazine
or usa today although i think it should
have
and what the experiment showed the
bottom line
was that when you take the stuff our
world is made of
a particle of matter one particle
and even if you split that particle and
send
each portion to different locations
which is what this experiment did
they had they split one particle of
matter and sent one particle
seven miles this direction the other
seven miles that direction they were 14
miles apart and even though they were
separated physically
they were still connected energetically
so that when one particle had an
experience they would
disturb one particle the other one acted
like it was having the experience
sometimes the other one would act like
it was having the experience before
the scientist even disturbed the first
particle and it's mind-boggling they
said well
well how can this be but what this tells
us is that once matter is physically
joined
even when it becomes separate the energy
is still there that's connecting it
and this is why it's important to me
because we go back far enough in time
all the particles matter of this entire
universe that are expanding
were all meshed together in a single
particle about the size of a green p
is what scientists tell us today is what
the computer model suggests
that if you could go into the universe
today and take all the particles of
matter
and take out all the space in between
and bring it together and compress it
into a size of a single green p it means
that you and me and every one of our
listeners we were all
once part of that same particle that
creates this whole universe today and
even though
those particles are now separate and
expanding and
studies show that they are energetically
we're all still linked
when we lost the information telling us
we're a part of all that we see
we found ourselves in a very
technological path
without the wisdom of us being in the
equation
so we thought it's the world out there
and that we're separate from that world
now what's happened is our technology
has come so far
that our very existence is threatened by
the technology that we've developed
whether it's the wars or the viruses or
the climate change
so so i believe we've come full circle
now
to survive our time in history we've got
to write ourselves back into the
equation our prayers
our affirmations our beliefs our
language
and when they're spoken through the
language of the heart
they have a direct powerful
and immediate impact on our bodies in
the world around us
and it invites us to be very very aware
of what it is that we truly hold in our
hearts as is the truth of our world
because we live that in our lives from
the lightest of the light to the darkest
of the dark the greatest fears and the
greatest joys
what we're beginning to understand is
that
human emotion and feeling and belief is
literally a language it's a non-verbal
language
that this field recognizes and
understands
and the field works in what we call real
time it doesn't know
about a few minutes from now so if you
say if you say in your affirmation
20 minutes from now i i'd like for my
perfect mate to manifest for me now
it doesn't know about 20 minutes from
now it is a real-time application and
this is why the the key
this is what the ancients say and this
is what the monks and the nuns tell us
real time today
they say to be very specific about what
it is that we're choosing to have in our
lives
because what we're doing and it helps if
we understand this
what we're doing is in the world of
quantum possibility in the soup
the nebulous soup of all possibilities
what we're doing is we're isolating
we're locking one in the place if we're
not specific
about what that possibility is then how
can the field be specific about what it
is that it gives to us
whatever it takes to get us to the point
where we can transcend the limits the
laws of
physics and biology as we've known them
in the past we have a power within us
that transcends those laws
that were more than our mistakes that
were more than the suffering were
more than the limits that we believed in
the past and
that is where i say wow that really
inspires me
