00:03:50,170 --> 00:03:48,440 hear to sit up and take notice because 101 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:50,180 we're working against a very strong 102 00:03:54,730 --> 00:03:52,850 current of conditioning as

to rethink our views on light to 106 00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:01,760 understand the larger reality model that 107 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:04,070 you write about in it and to kick this 108 00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:06,290 off let's use a quote you say light is 109 00:04:10,540 --> 00:04:08,209 more than just waves and particles 110 00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:10,550 it's a purveyor of consciousness light 111 00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:12,590 is not just out there something we need 112 00:04:17,530 --> 00:04:15,140 to find in order to see light seeks us 113 00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:17,540 out and guides us the way it seeks out 114 00:04:22,930 --> 00:04:19,840 and directs a plant to grow towards it 115 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:22,940 well man when I read that I knew I was 116 00:04:26,650 --> 00:04:24,410 going to be going on a ride maybe you 117 00:04:28,420 --> 00:04:26,660 can speak to some of the misconceptions 118 00:04:31,470 --> 00:04:28,430 about light and how you think about it 119 00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:31,480 so that people can get on the same page 120 00:04:38,670 --> 00:04:35,950 so let me begin you said how you think 121 00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:38,680 about it the first thing that I'd like 122 00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:42,910 to say is what we think has no 123 00:04:49,370 --> 00:04:45,420 relationship with truth hmm 124 00:04:53,820 --> 00:04:49,380 fair point everything we think is 125 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:53,830 conceptual it's theoretical it's an idea 126 00:04:59,970 --> 00:04:57,610 it's a point of view but if you put that 127 00:05:03,150 --> 00:04:59,980 word belief for instance into a 128 00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:03,160 thesaurus you'll see it means the same 129 00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:05,230 as thought idea 130 00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:08,290 theory concept and so on but when you 131 00:05:15,150 --> 00:05:11,400 look at the antonyms of the word belief 132 00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:15,160 one of the words that pops up and really 133 00:05:21,870 --> 00:05:17,110 really just hits you right in the face 134 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:21,880 is truth that truth is actually the 135 00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:25,930 opposite of belief and so it's not so 136 00:05:33,469 --> 00:05:30,240 much about thinking things differently 137 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:33,479 it's about actually identifying what 138 00:05:40,990 --> 00:05:37,680 that aspect is of our humanity that sees 139 00:05:43,930 --> 00:05:41,000 from no point of view 140 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:43,940 and can actually have an experience of 141 00:05:51,070 --> 00:05:48,650 life that is direct not through the 142 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:51,080 filter of what I believe what I don't 143 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:53,570 believe what's proven what's not proven 144 00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,890 but has a direct experience you know 145 00:06:02,680 --> 00:05:59,600 people spend so much of their lives 146 00:06:06,250 --> 00:06:02,690 trying to convince each other of what 147 00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:06,260 they think is true or is not true but 148 00:06:12,810 --> 00:06:09,290 when you've had a revelation you know 149 00:06:17,860 --> 00:06:12,820 when you've had an awakening experience 150 00:06:21,790 --> 00:06:17,870 such as like what I had in 1976 there's 151 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:21,800 nothing to defend about that because you 152 00:06:28,750 --> 00:06:25,730 absolutely know that there is a knowing 153 00:06:31,780 --> 00:06:28,760 it's not I think there's just an 154 00:06:35,890 --> 00:06:31,790 absolute knowing about it it's a fact in 155 00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:35,900 your life and so that for me is what 156 00:06:41,470 --> 00:06:39,470 moves me and what has moved me for a 157 00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:41,480 long time so having laid that foundation 158 00:06:47,170 --> 00:06:44,000 now let's get into your question about 159 00:06:51,030 --> 00:06:47,180 what am I talking about light looking 160 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:51,040 for us sure let's look at a plant 161 00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:55,130 everyone knows that a plant can't live 162 00:07:02,280 --> 00:06:58,490 without light and that a plant grows 163 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:02,290 toward the light and if you evaluate 164 00:07:09,190 --> 00:07:05,890 every single function within a plant 165 00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:09,200 you'll see that every single function of 166 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:13,790 the plant is light dependent when the 167 00:07:20,050 --> 00:07:16,130 light literally comes up in the morning 168 00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:20,060 a plant Orient's itself to be in the 169 00:07:28,060 --> 00:07:24,080 optimal position to receive the exact 170 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:28,070 amount of photo therapeutic nutrition 171 00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:33,410 that it requires to essentially run all 172 00:07:39,890 --> 00:07:36,840 of its functions and a 173 00:07:42,580 --> 00:07:39,900 of course everyone knows that plants 174 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:42,590 have a unique relationship with light 175 00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:45,330 what I am attempting to share in the 176 00:07:53,689 --> 00:07:49,680 book which is scientific fact is that 177 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:53,699 human beings respond to light and so do 178 00:08:03,080 --> 00:07:58,250 animals in the same way as plants do 179 00:08:06,590 --> 00:08:03,090 every cell of our body has photo sensors 180 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:06,600 another word for that are our eyes every 181 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:09,930 cell of the body has eyes that are 182 00:08:17,540 --> 00:08:14,930 designed to detect and respond to light 183 00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:17,550 so now let's talk about what light is 184 00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:19,830 because everyone thinks oh I know what 185 00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:22,800 light is I wake up in the morning I look 186 00:08:32,060 --> 00:08:27,840 out my window there's light actually not 187 00:08:35,149 --> 00:08:32,070 what we think is light is a perceptual 188 00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:35,159 experience we have that's actually 189 00:08:45,860 --> 00:08:40,159 called brightness or that we call color 190 00:08:50,180 --> 00:08:45,870 light itself is formless it is totally 191 00:08:54,930 --> 00:08:50,190 invisible you cannot magnify enough of 192 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:54,940 whatever light is to actually see it 193 00:09:00,390 --> 00:08:58,290 you cannot really describe it very 194 00:09:03,570 --> 00:09:00,400 accurately 195 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:03,580 however when you attempt to describe the 196 00:09:11,970 --> 00:09:07,210 behavior of light you find something 197 00:09:16,079 --> 00:09:11,980 really really fascinating it acts as if 198 00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:16,089 it is everywhere at the same time it 199 00:09:22,079 --> 00:09:18,790 acts as if it is aware of everything 200 00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:22,089 that's going on everywhere else at the 201 00:09:28,499 --> 00:09:24,310 same time 202 00:09:32,129 --> 00:09:28,509 in other words it acts in the same way 203 00:09:36,030 --> 00:09:32,139 as the biblical description of what we 204 00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:36,040 call God when we say oh this creative 205 00:09:41,730 --> 00:09:38,230 force in the universe that religious 206 00:09:44,329 --> 00:09:41,740 people call God the Bible says is 207 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:44,339 omnipotent omniscient and omnipresent 208 00:09:50,369 --> 00:09:47,050 all-powerful all-knowing everywhere at 209 00:09:54,569 --> 00:09:50,379 the same time and then the Bible goes on 210 00:09:57,989 --> 00:09:54,579 to say God is light I don't know why 211 00:10:01,619 --> 00:09:57,999 they say that but when you look at light 212 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:01,629 and you speak to a physicist that has 213 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:05,170 studied light they will all tell you 214 00:10:13,220 --> 00:10:09,689 that what we call light is actually the 215 00:10:16,410 --> 00:10:13,230 foundational energy from where 216 00:10:19,829 --> 00:10:16,420 everything arises and this is why the 217 00:10:22,769 --> 00:10:19,839 renowned theoretical quantum physicist 218 00:10:26,119 --> 00:10:22,779 David Bohm while he was alive made a 219 00:10:30,420 --> 00:10:26,129 profound statement he said all matter is 220 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:30,430 frozen light in other words 221 00:10:39,690 --> 00:10:36,450 everything that is solid is actually 222 00:10:44,340 --> 00:10:39,700 created from an energy called light and 223 00:10:47,690 --> 00:10:44,350 that includes our bodies and so what we 224 00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:47,700 know about the human body is that it is 225 00:10:57,510 --> 00:10:52,990 continually receiving information if you 226 00:11:00,930 --> 00:10:57,520 will in the form of light that tells it 227 00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:00,940 what to do when to do it and to what 228 00:11:07,470 --> 00:11:03,570 degree let me give you an example 229 00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:07,480 everyone knows that when the light rises 230 00:11:13,470 --> 00:11:09,780 in the morning when the Sun comes up 231 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:13,480 everyone wakes up creatures animals 232 00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:17,050 human beings plants everyone awakens and 233 00:11:23,490 --> 00:11:20,110 as the light begins to recede at the end 234 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:23,500 of the day people start feeling sleepy 235 00:11:30,210 --> 00:11:27,010 and fall asleep what the average person 236 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:30,220 doesn't realize is that your blood 237 00:11:35,550 --> 00:11:33,250 pressure your insulin production and 238 00:11:39,330 --> 00:11:35,560 secretion the production and secretion 239 00:11:43,380 --> 00:11:39,340 of all of your hormones all of the 240 00:11:48,390 --> 00:11:43,390 energy that your body has comes from 241 00:11:52,530 --> 00:11:48,400 light throughout the day as the sunlight 242 00:11:56,450 --> 00:11:52,540 is changing our body is continually 243 00:11:59,970 --> 00:11:56,460 adjusting itself to remain in harmony 244 00:12:03,600 --> 00:11:59,980 with Mother Nature so that we are always 245 00:12:06,009 --> 00:12:03,610 at one with Mother Nature when you're 246 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:06,019 out of Harmony 247 00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:09,050 example of that would be jet lag you 248 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:11,540 live in San Diego you want to fly to New 249 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:13,730 York or to London you get on a plane 250 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:16,850 you're there in New York five hours 251 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:19,610 later and then you start feeling out of 252 00:12:24,939 --> 00:12:22,730 sorts sometimes you might even feel like 253 00:12:26,769 --> 00:12:24,949 you're coming down with something you 254 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:26,779 begin to wake up in the middle of the 255 00:12:31,210 --> 00:12:28,970 night when you would be sleeping you 256 00:12:33,429 --> 00:12:31,220 start getting sleepy mid-afternoon when 257 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:33,439 you normally would be awake you find 258 00:12:38,109 --> 00:12:35,569 yourself wanting to eat at times you 259 00:12:41,470 --> 00:12:38,119 normally wouldn't or needing to use the 260 00:12:44,109 --> 00:12:41,480 restroom at times you never would the 261 00:12:46,809 --> 00:12:44,119 reason that occurs not only to humans 262 00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:46,819 and animals but also to plants if you 263 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:48,769 put a plant on a plane the same thing 264 00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:51,930 would happen is that 265 00:13:00,440 --> 00:12:55,760 every physiological function is light 266 00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:00,450 dependent and so even though we have 267 00:13:06,740 --> 00:13:03,960 this idea we all share that we are 268 00:13:09,770 --> 00:13:06,750 controlling our life through our 269 00:13:12,050 --> 00:13:09,780 thoughts and our ideas and what we want 270 00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:12,060 to do and what we don't want to do if 271 00:13:17,870 --> 00:13:15,360 you really look deeply into the 272 00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:17,880 functioning of the body with the most 273 00:13:25,820 --> 00:13:20,880 sophisticated technology science has to 274 00:13:29,570 --> 00:13:25,830 offer you consistently will notice that 275 00:13:32,930 --> 00:13:29,580 the body is moving in the direction that 276 00:13:36,290 --> 00:13:32,940 you become aware of later and think was 277 00:13:38,660 --> 00:13:36,300 your own directive so people spend all 278 00:13:41,180 --> 00:13:38,670 day well I make this choice I make that 279 00:13:44,090 --> 00:13:41,190 choice if you look at the brain with the 280 00:13:47,090 --> 00:13:44,100 most sophisticated MRIs that are 281 00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:47,100 currently available you see that seven 282 00:13:53,690 --> 00:13:50,340 to ten seconds before a person believes 283 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:53,700 that they've made a decision the body 284 00:14:01,520 --> 00:13:56,850 has already decided in its intelligence 285 00:14:05,070 --> 00:14:01,530 and is moving in that direction so light 286 00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:05,080 is something incredibly profound 287 00:14:12,690 --> 00:14:08,529 it is that which is continually evolving 288 00:14:15,870 --> 00:14:12,700 us toward a state of oneness with all 289 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:15,880 that is in mother nature and when we are 290 00:14:22,050 --> 00:14:18,850 in that state of oneness that's usually 291 00:14:26,220 --> 00:14:22,060 when we experience optimal health and 292 00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:26,230 wellness and probably one of the main 293 00:14:32,970 --> 00:14:29,320 reasons you know if you look at what we 294 00:14:36,540 --> 00:14:32,980 call disease sciences will tell you that 295 00:14:40,829 --> 00:14:36,550 90 to 92 percent of what we call disease 296 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:40,839 is directly caused by or significantly 297 00:14:47,790 --> 00:14:44,250 attributable to what we call stress 298 00:14:51,210 --> 00:14:47,800 mm-hmm seven or eight percent is what we 299 00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:51,220 call chronic illness chronic illness is 300 00:14:59,280 --> 00:14:54,880 usually the result of living in a way 301 00:15:03,509 --> 00:14:59,290 that is normal but not natural so when 302 00:15:06,780 --> 00:15:03,519 we look at the fact that a huge amount 303 00:15:10,889 --> 00:15:06,790 of what we call disease is caused or 304 00:15:12,690 --> 00:15:10,899 very significantly related to stress we 305 00:15:15,780 --> 00:15:12,700 have to take a look at what what is 306 00:15:18,510 --> 00:15:15,790 stress most of us think we know stress 307 00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:18,520 is but when I look at what we call 308 00:15:23,970 --> 00:15:22,240 stress to me stress is when a human 309 00:15:27,569 --> 00:15:23,980 being let's say we're talking about a 310 00:15:31,699 --> 00:15:27,579 person has an allergic reaction to some 311 00:15:36,580 --> 00:15:31,709 aspect of their life whether it be a 312 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:36,590 reaction to food or to the environment 313 00:15:43,950 --> 00:15:40,610 or a reaction to another human being 314 00:15:46,620 --> 00:15:43,960 to a former husband or wife 315 00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:46,630 to someone that for whatever reason gets 316 00:15:53,130 --> 00:15:49,750 under our skin and when I say an 317 00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:53,140 allergic reaction we have physiological 318 00:15:59,519 --> 00:15:56,560 and psycho a motional reactivity to this 319 00:16:02,820 --> 00:15:59,529 and so for me stress is when we have 320 00:16:04,980 --> 00:16:02,830 such an allergic reaction and so the way 321 00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:04,990 that I look at health and wellness is 322 00:16:10,449 --> 00:16:07,310 very simple 323 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:10,459 what is the person continually reacting 324 00:16:19,150 --> 00:16:15,170 to that is catalyzing dis-ease 325 00:16:21,579 --> 00:16:19,160 a lack of ease which is what we call the 326 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:21,589 beginnings of disease stress and so on 327 00:16:29,259 --> 00:16:25,730 and what can we do 328 00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:29,269 to help them come to a place where they 329 00:16:37,179 --> 00:16:33,470 are able to embrace or at least have a 330 00:16:41,949 --> 00:16:37,189 neutral response to that which they used 331 00:16:45,099 --> 00:16:41,959 to recoil from so for instance if we all 332 00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:45,109 became comfortable with what used to 333 00:16:49,740 --> 00:16:48,350 feel uncomfortable our whole life would 334 00:16:54,060 --> 00:16:49,750 be different 335 00:16:57,300 --> 00:16:54,070 and so all of my work over the last 45 336 00:17:00,090 --> 00:16:57,310 years has been related to that and 337 00:17:02,580 --> 00:17:00,100 because we and the functioning of our 338 00:17:07,230 --> 00:17:02,590 bodies are inseparable from the light 339 00:17:09,420 --> 00:17:07,240 spectrum what I do with people is I take 340 00:17:12,030 --> 00:17:09,430 them through a very simple visualization 341 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:12,040 because most of my clients I never see I 342 00:17:18,020 --> 00:17:15,250 work with via Skype and so on and I do a 343 00:17:22,380 --> 00:17:18,030 color analysis which is essentially I 344 00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:22,390 see how they respond to what they 345 00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:24,520 perceive as the different colors of the 346 00:17:31,020 --> 00:17:27,520 spectrum and what I routinely find is 347 00:17:34,410 --> 00:17:31,030 that people seem to be very comfortable 348 00:17:36,740 --> 00:17:34,420 when they think or envision or look at 349 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:36,750 certain colors 350 00:17:40,970 --> 00:17:38,880 and they're not as comfortable when they 351 00:17:43,790 --> 00:17:40,980 look at others 352 00:17:48,410 --> 00:17:43,800 what's interesting is that on a cellular 353 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:48,420 level when a cell is in optimal state of 354 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:52,410 health it responds to all colors in 355 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:54,690 other words all of the different 356 00:18:01,010 --> 00:17:57,930 segments of the light spectrum in the 357 00:18:05,090 --> 00:18:01,020 same way but when a cell is out of 358 00:18:07,310 --> 00:18:05,100 balance it responds selectively it 359 00:18:10,340 --> 00:18:07,320 basically says I like this one but I 360 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:10,350 don't like this one well I noticed the 361 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:15,210 same phenomenon almost 40-plus years ago 362 00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:19,290 and so what I do is I have developed a 363 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:24,480 way of using color to very gently help 364 00:18:33,490 --> 00:18:29,610 someone to desensitize themselves from 365 00:18:36,730 --> 00:18:33,500 perhaps unresolved emotional 366 00:18:40,450 --> 00:18:36,740 triggers that we don't know where they 367 00:18:43,810 --> 00:18:40,460 originated from some may come from early 368 00:18:47,470 --> 00:18:43,820 childhood experiences but I think most 369 00:18:51,999 --> 00:18:47,480 of them are in the matrix of our DNA and 370 00:18:55,310 --> 00:18:52,009 have been passed on generationally for 371 00:18:59,000 --> 00:18:55,320 millions of generations 372 00:19:01,970 --> 00:18:59,010 and so I utilize color which slips 373 00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:01,980 beneath conscious awareness as a way of 374 00:19:07,310 --> 00:19:04,920 allowing them to notice wow isn't that 375 00:19:10,330 --> 00:19:07,320 interesting I'm so comfortable with 376 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:10,340 green and blue but I'm so uncomfortable 377 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:13,610 with red and orange what's fascinating 378 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:18,450 then is that I notice a very significant 379 00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:21,810 relationship between the colors someone 380 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:25,110 is uncomfortable with and the areas of 381 00:19:31,910 --> 00:19:28,770 their body where they develop problems 382 00:19:34,060 --> 00:19:31,920 or where they hold stress or where they 383 00:19:35,980 --> 00:19:34,070 have some sort of physiological 384 00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:35,990 malfunction 385 00:19:42,010 --> 00:19:38,510 people over the years have heard of the 386 00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:42,020 chakra system which is the fact that the 387 00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:44,510 body has different energy centers this 388 00:19:50,050 --> 00:19:47,840 is an old idea that people came to 389 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:50,060 thousands of years ago when I was first 390 00:19:54,310 --> 00:19:52,730 introduced to this 391 00:19:56,289 --> 00:19:54,320 I didn't know what to make of it because 392 00:20:01,110 --> 00:19:56,299 I couldn't find any science to back it 393 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:01,120 up but I noticed that the chakras 394 00:20:07,379 --> 00:20:04,210 all had different colors attributed to 395 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:07,389 it I didn't understand why but when I 396 00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:10,090 began doing this color analysis many 397 00:20:16,340 --> 00:20:13,990 many years ago I discovered that the 398 00:20:20,460 --> 00:20:16,350 colors that people were seemingly 399 00:20:22,830 --> 00:20:20,470 uncomfortable with related to the areas 400 00:20:26,999 --> 00:20:22,840 of the body the chakras of the body 401 00:20:30,930 --> 00:20:27,009 associated with those colors and so I've 402 00:20:34,769 --> 00:20:30,940 developed a very simple approach that 403 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:34,779 helps a person to understand something 404 00:20:42,899 --> 00:20:38,129 about their makeup not in terms of 405 00:20:45,060 --> 00:20:42,909 disease or fixing but in terms of what 406 00:20:47,909 --> 00:20:45,070 parts of life are they open and 407 00:20:50,820 --> 00:20:47,919 receptive to and what parts of life 408 00:20:53,850 --> 00:20:50,830 create tension for them and then the 409 00:20:57,450 --> 00:20:53,860 whole process is to expand their 410 00:21:01,230 --> 00:20:57,460 receptivity to all of the energies that 411 00:21:04,710 --> 00:21:01,240 make up the experience we call life so 412 00:21:07,249 --> 00:21:04,720 that we are less reactive and more at 413 00:21:10,279 --> 00:21:07,259 ease with our environment with our 414 00:21:12,029 --> 00:21:10,289 experiences with other people and so on 415 00:21:13,889 --> 00:21:12,039 mmm 416 00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:13,899 that's a long answer to your short 417 00:21:20,310 --> 00:21:17,710 question but I think it deserves sort of 418 00:21:22,769 --> 00:21:20,320 a global view so your listeners will 419 00:21:24,779 --> 00:21:22,779 have some sense of what I'm speaking 420 00:21:26,879 --> 00:21:24,789 about as a whole rather than just 421 00:21:29,609 --> 00:21:26,889 piecemeal absolutely I couldn't agree 422 00:21:31,409 --> 00:21:29,619 more and it is just so fascinating you 423 00:21:33,570 --> 00:21:31,419 touched on a lot of things that are 424 00:21:35,820 --> 00:21:33,580 probably pretty paradigm busting for 425 00:21:37,980 --> 00:21:35,830 people especially this understanding 426 00:21:40,259 --> 00:21:37,990 that disease for the most part isn't 427 00:21:42,389 --> 00:21:40,269 just random selection it's not Russian 428 00:21:44,940 --> 00:21:42,399 roulette with the universe it's actually 429 00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:44,950 based on our behaviors and us not 430 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:47,110 getting what we might need from the 431 00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:49,210 natural environment and you framed up 432 00:21:52,980 --> 00:21:51,070 light in a really interesting way I mean 433 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:52,990 it's probably way different from the way 434 00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:55,090 people are used to hearing about it and 435 00:21:58,889 --> 00:21:57,039 let me ask you a little more about the 436 00:22:00,899 --> 00:21:58,899 Sun conventionally of course we're told 437 00:22:02,999 --> 00:22:00,909 the Sun is going to give us cancer if we 438 00:22:05,879 --> 00:22:03,009 don't load up our skin with chemicals 439 00:22:08,009 --> 00:22:05,889 but clearly that can't be accurate how 440 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:08,019 should we best interact with the Sun or 441 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:10,330 or what is a better way to think about 442 00:22:16,890 --> 00:22:12,250 our interaction with 443 00:22:19,980 --> 00:22:16,900 well again let's take it out of the idea 444 00:22:23,610 --> 00:22:19,990 of thinking about it most people in 445 00:22:28,260 --> 00:22:23,620 today's world work indoors or work in 446 00:22:31,919 --> 00:22:28,270 buildings prior to 1900 over 90% of the 447 00:22:34,590 --> 00:22:31,929 population worked outdoors everyone got 448 00:22:37,130 --> 00:22:34,600 their minimal daily requirement of 449 00:22:41,490 --> 00:22:37,140 sunlight which is the most powerful 450 00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:41,500 nutritional aspect of mother nature 451 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:45,520 most of us over 90% work indoors we're 452 00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:49,090 light deprived and this is why every 453 00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:53,049 major disease today is significantly 454 00:22:59,299 --> 00:22:55,679 related to a vitamin D deficiency 455 00:23:03,080 --> 00:22:59,309 because vitamin D is something we derive 456 00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:03,090 from interaction directly with sunlight 457 00:23:10,130 --> 00:23:08,080 so let's talk about what you said the 458 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:10,140 healthiest people 459 00:23:17,210 --> 00:23:13,170 are the people that spend a great deal 460 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:17,220 of time outdoors most of the significant 461 00:23:23,450 --> 00:23:20,850 skin cancers like melanoma occur in 462 00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:23,460 places that usually never get sunshine 463 00:23:28,610 --> 00:23:26,160 and it's more prevalent in people 464 00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:28,620 working indoors under fluorescent 465 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:31,440 lighting than it is with people that are 466 00:23:39,410 --> 00:23:34,530 spending time outdoors the other thing 467 00:23:41,660 --> 00:23:39,420 is that even though melanoma has some 468 00:23:44,659 --> 00:23:41,670 relationship with burning your skin 469 00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:44,669 early in life so it is somewhat related 470 00:23:48,910 --> 00:23:46,910 to sunlight 471 00:23:53,380 --> 00:23:48,920 the people that spend a lot of time 472 00:23:57,630 --> 00:23:53,390 outdoors are eight times is less likely 473 00:23:59,890 --> 00:23:57,640 even if they get melanoma to die from it 474 00:24:02,280 --> 00:23:59,900 then people that spend their life 475 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:02,290 indoors because 476 00:24:07,650 --> 00:24:04,570 you know when you step outside your 477 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:07,660 house or if you stood outside of an 478 00:24:12,990 --> 00:24:09,850 office building 479 00:24:15,539 --> 00:24:13,000 and you recorded the sounds that came 480 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:15,549 from people the moment they stepped 481 00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:18,970 outside you've noticed something they 482 00:24:28,909 --> 00:24:25,289 all do this ah and the reason is because 483 00:24:34,370 --> 00:24:28,919 living indoors with conditioned air 484 00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:34,380 totally unnatural light sounds that are 485 00:24:42,299 --> 00:24:37,289 continually repeating themselves 486 00:24:45,510 --> 00:24:42,309 computers and so on is so unnatural that 487 00:24:49,289 --> 00:24:45,520 it produces a dramatic amount of disease 488 00:24:52,860 --> 00:24:49,299 so in terms of your question a person 489 00:24:55,210 --> 00:24:52,870 should have at least 30 minutes a day of 490 00:24:57,970 --> 00:24:55,220 natural light 491 00:25:01,890 --> 00:24:57,980 now if you're someone that spends most 492 00:25:06,190 --> 00:25:01,900 of their time indoors like most people 493 00:25:07,980 --> 00:25:06,200 stand outside for one minute a day the 494 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:07,990 first day 495 00:25:14,790 --> 00:25:10,450 increase it to two minutes the next day 496 00:25:18,810 --> 00:25:14,800 if you have a place where you can remove 497 00:25:22,950 --> 00:25:18,820 your clothing or at least clothing that 498 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:22,960 covers large areas of the body like your 499 00:25:32,430 --> 00:25:28,330 chest or back or your entire legs if you 500 00:25:34,740 --> 00:25:32,440 can just lay out in the Sun for a minute 501 00:25:38,530 --> 00:25:34,750 the first day with your shirt off maybe 502 00:25:42,340 --> 00:25:38,540 your trousers off or shorts on 503 00:25:44,860 --> 00:25:42,350 maybe a minute on your chest a minute on 504 00:25:48,430 --> 00:25:44,870 your belly maybe the next day you 505 00:25:51,789 --> 00:25:48,440 increase it by a minute what will happen 506 00:25:55,690 --> 00:25:51,799 is your skin will adjust to that light 507 00:25:58,870 --> 00:25:55,700 and actually develop melanin in your 508 00:26:02,680 --> 00:25:58,880 skin that will protect you from burning 509 00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:02,690 yourself see if you can work that up to 510 00:26:09,850 --> 00:26:05,840 about 30 minutes a day so for instance I 511 00:26:12,340 --> 00:26:09,860 walk every day about three miles if it's 512 00:26:15,970 --> 00:26:12,350 warm and it usually is out in Maui where 513 00:26:18,460 --> 00:26:15,980 I live I walk without a shirt on and I 514 00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:18,470 walk with shorts on 515 00:26:26,980 --> 00:26:22,130 and so I'm getting that Sun through my 516 00:26:31,779 --> 00:26:26,990 eyes and into my skin and that is 517 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:31,789 something that is more powerful than 518 00:26:37,919 --> 00:26:35,210 anything else a human being can do to 519 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:37,929 support their health and wellness 520 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:41,570 another aspect is not only are we told 521 00:26:46,930 --> 00:26:44,690 not to be out in the Sun and to totally 522 00:26:49,779 --> 00:26:46,940 cover our skin with all kinds of 523 00:26:53,169 --> 00:26:49,789 sunscreen but we're told to wear 524 00:26:55,419 --> 00:26:53,179 sunglasses all the time there's nothing 525 00:26:59,529 --> 00:26:55,429 wrong with sunglasses if you're driving 526 00:27:01,899 --> 00:26:59,539 into the Sun if you're skiing if you're 527 00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:01,909 out on the water or for it's an 528 00:27:06,980 --> 00:27:04,710 exceptionally bright day 529 00:27:11,180 --> 00:27:06,990 but most people who believe themselves 530 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:11,190 to be sensitive to light hypersensitive 531 00:27:16,010 --> 00:27:13,890 have become that way because they're 532 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:16,020 constantly covering their eyes from the 533 00:27:23,210 --> 00:27:18,890 Sun with sunglasses its artificially 534 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:23,220 self-created it's very important to 535 00:27:29,950 --> 00:27:26,570 allow natural light to enter your eyes 536 00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:29,960 it's what your eyes are married to 537 00:27:38,109 --> 00:27:32,910 ninety-eight percent of the light that 538 00:27:41,219 --> 00:27:38,119 enters the body enters via the eyes 539 00:27:44,979 --> 00:27:41,229 and every function of the body is 540 00:27:48,789 --> 00:27:44,989 regulated by light so when you limit or 541 00:27:51,759 --> 00:27:48,799 change the spectrum of light that comes 542 00:27:54,969 --> 00:27:51,769 into the eyes you're creating tremendous 543 00:27:58,959 --> 00:27:54,979 stress now we hear something today about 544 00:28:02,760 --> 00:27:58,969 the fact that computer screens give off 545 00:28:06,299 --> 00:28:02,770 an excessive amount of blue light 546 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:06,309 blue light in the solar spectrum from 547 00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:09,010 the Sun is not problematic 548 00:28:15,210 --> 00:28:11,950 cuz it's in total balance with the 549 00:28:18,799 --> 00:28:15,220 amount of red light that comes from the 550 00:28:22,860 --> 00:28:18,809 solar spectrum so it works beautifully 551 00:28:26,370 --> 00:28:22,870 but our technology our computers our 552 00:28:28,919 --> 00:28:26,380 cell phones and so on which are using 553 00:28:31,950 --> 00:28:28,929 light sources that primarily are in the 554 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:31,960 blue end of the spectrum what that does 555 00:28:39,810 --> 00:28:35,890 is it feeds our eyes more blue than is 556 00:28:42,570 --> 00:28:39,820 actually healthy so if you have an 557 00:28:46,290 --> 00:28:42,580 iPhone they have a program that can 558 00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:46,300 change the spectrum automatically of the 559 00:28:51,090 --> 00:28:48,070 light so you're not getting too much 560 00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:51,100 blue light at night you can get those 561 00:28:58,340 --> 00:28:55,380 same applications for computers 562 00:29:02,150 --> 00:28:58,350 they have very simple glasses that have 563 00:29:05,150 --> 00:29:02,160 a slight yellow or amber slight orange 564 00:29:08,570 --> 00:29:05,160 tint some of them have no tint at all 565 00:29:12,169 --> 00:29:08,580 but are able to block the blue light you 566 00:29:14,690 --> 00:29:12,179 can use those especially in the evening 567 00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:14,700 or if you're spending an inordinate 568 00:29:21,890 --> 00:29:18,809 amount of time in front of a computer my 569 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:21,900 computer for instance my desk backs up 570 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:26,730 to a large window a 4x8 foot window so 571 00:29:32,270 --> 00:29:29,010 I'm continually getting natural light 572 00:29:34,970 --> 00:29:32,280 and looking outdoors so my eyes have a 573 00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:34,980 break because when your eyes are 574 00:29:38,779 --> 00:29:37,200 continually looking at something up 575 00:29:41,569 --> 00:29:38,789 close 576 00:29:44,239 --> 00:29:41,579 what ends up happening is usually become 577 00:29:47,239 --> 00:29:44,249 nearsighted because they adjust 578 00:29:49,879 --> 00:29:47,249 themselves to that distance but if you 579 00:29:53,689 --> 00:29:49,889 can work on the computer and then look 580 00:29:56,930 --> 00:29:53,699 outside at infinity and continually 581 00:30:00,049 --> 00:29:56,940 allow that to just look off to the 582 00:30:02,149 --> 00:30:00,059 distance throughout the day you can 583 00:30:04,789 --> 00:30:02,159 probably preserve your eyesight and 584 00:30:07,669 --> 00:30:04,799 still work at the computer so a few 585 00:30:11,269 --> 00:30:07,679 helpful hints all of which I mentioned 586 00:30:15,019 --> 00:30:11,279 in my newest book and all of which take 587 00:30:19,369 --> 00:30:15,029 really no time no energy and don't 588 00:30:22,249 --> 00:30:19,379 require any cost right yeah the book is 589 00:30:25,639 --> 00:30:22,259 just chock full of great advice and 590 00:30:27,859 --> 00:30:25,649 techniques for bettering your sight or 591 00:30:29,959 --> 00:30:27,869 keeping it healthy and of course after 592 00:30:31,789 --> 00:30:29,969 40 years I'm sure it's a bit tiring to 593 00:30:33,889 --> 00:30:31,799 keep going over your own experience with 594 00:30:36,829 --> 00:30:33,899 sight healing but obviously this is 595 00:30:38,659 --> 00:30:36,839 still quite new to some people I try to 596 00:30:41,809 --> 00:30:38,669 give the cliff notes in the intro but 597 00:30:45,049 --> 00:30:41,819 maybe you could elaborate on your own 598 00:30:46,939 --> 00:30:45,059 story or at least the decades of helping 599 00:30:49,849 --> 00:30:46,949 thousands of people to see better 600 00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:49,859 because I guess the trick to it or the 601 00:30:54,559 --> 00:30:52,529 underlying knowledge is that it's not so 602 00:30:56,509 --> 00:30:54,569 much about the ocular nerve as much as 603 00:31:00,199 --> 00:30:56,519 it is an alignment with the mind's eye 604 00:31:03,529 --> 00:31:00,209 and the ocular nerve is that right well 605 00:31:09,819 --> 00:31:03,539 let's talk about that first of all I'll 606 00:31:14,239 --> 00:31:09,829 share with you that between 1967 and 607 00:31:17,359 --> 00:31:14,249 1976 I wore glasses I was nearsighted 608 00:31:20,499 --> 00:31:17,369 and I had a significant amount of 609 00:31:23,329 --> 00:31:20,509 astigmatism which many people have 610 00:31:26,119 --> 00:31:23,339 essentially what that meant is that if I 611 00:31:28,759 --> 00:31:26,129 looked off into the distance things were 612 00:31:32,689 --> 00:31:28,769 blurry so I couldn't see the blackboard 613 00:31:36,469 --> 00:31:32,699 if I was in a class I couldn't see well 614 00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:36,479 to drive when I was in my early years of 615 00:31:41,239 --> 00:31:38,849 practice and I don't practice any longer 616 00:31:44,059 --> 00:31:41,249 in the fields of optometry you know I 617 00:31:46,669 --> 00:31:44,069 couldn't see the letters in the distance 618 00:31:49,639 --> 00:31:46,679 to know whether my patients were giving 619 00:31:51,210 --> 00:31:49,649 me the right answers or not so I had 620 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:51,220 worn glasses 621 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:55,690 up until 1976 and then I had a very 622 00:32:02,130 --> 00:31:58,210 profound experience while I was 623 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:02,140 meditating today if I tried to describe 624 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:03,730 that experience people would say oh 625 00:32:10,860 --> 00:32:07,210 that's an out-of-body experience my eyes 626 00:32:13,790 --> 00:32:10,870 were closed my glasses obviously were 627 00:32:16,620 --> 00:32:13,800 off and I was just doing my daily 628 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:16,630 meditation practice which I had been 629 00:32:23,220 --> 00:32:20,210 doing since 1971 630 00:32:28,139 --> 00:32:23,230 but something unusual occurred 631 00:32:31,460 --> 00:32:28,149 all of a sudden there was a sense that I 632 00:32:33,630 --> 00:32:31,470 was observing myself sitting in the room 633 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:33,640 meditating 634 00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:37,210 there was a feeling as if I was fully 635 00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:40,809 aware of everything in the room at the 636 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:44,049 same time I don't know how to describe 637 00:32:52,140 --> 00:32:48,570 it to you but it was almost like 638 00:32:56,030 --> 00:32:52,150 I was fully aware of everything 639 00:32:59,940 --> 00:32:56,040 and everything was clear not just 640 00:33:01,940 --> 00:32:59,950 optically clear but clear in every way 641 00:33:05,570 --> 00:33:01,950 in that 642 00:33:08,390 --> 00:33:05,580 the mine was totally quiet there were no 643 00:33:10,540 --> 00:33:08,400 questions about anything everything was 644 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:10,550 clear 645 00:33:16,060 --> 00:33:13,250 again I can't tell you what precipitated 646 00:33:19,630 --> 00:33:16,070 this state there wasn't anything I was 647 00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:19,640 doing all I can share with you is 20 648 00:33:28,780 --> 00:33:24,110 minutes later when I came out of my 649 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:28,790 meditation to my surprise I was able to 650 00:33:34,930 --> 00:33:31,850 see everything with a level of clarity 651 00:33:38,830 --> 00:33:34,940 that I quite frankly did not remember 652 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:38,840 for a very very very long period of time 653 00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:42,290 I didn't know what to do it was a Sunday 654 00:33:50,170 --> 00:33:46,910 I got in my car my license said I needed 655 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:50,180 to wear my glasses to drive but I could 656 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:52,490 see so perfectly that I put my glasses 657 00:33:58,499 --> 00:33:55,130 on the seat next to me 658 00:34:00,669 --> 00:33:58,509 I drove a half-an-hour to my office 659 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:00,679 noticing that I could see all the 660 00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:04,250 license plates the street signs and the 661 00:34:10,490 --> 00:34:07,110 billboards with no problem 662 00:34:15,349 --> 00:34:10,500 I got to my office I sat in my 663 00:34:18,260 --> 00:34:15,359 examination chair 20 feet away from my 664 00:34:18,829 --> 00:34:18,270 eye chart which is very different than 665 00:34:21,879 --> 00:34:18,839 today 666 00:34:25,220 --> 00:34:21,889 hardly any eye doctors that you go to 667 00:34:26,919 --> 00:34:25,230 will actually allow you to read a twenty 668 00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:26,929 feet away which is called optical 669 00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:31,649 infinity because rental spaces expensive 670 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:34,730 they have you look into a mirror at a 671 00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:38,210 reflection that's behind you and so 672 00:34:45,770 --> 00:34:41,250 you're not actually seeing in the same 673 00:34:49,129 --> 00:34:45,780 way as you would see outdoors but in 73 674 00:34:51,169 --> 00:34:49,139 and 76 my office was set up where 675 00:34:54,349 --> 00:34:51,179 everything was 20 feet away at optical 676 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:54,359 infinity well when I started projecting 677 00:35:01,750 --> 00:34:57,450 a variety of different eye charts I was 678 00:35:05,150 --> 00:35:01,760 consistently seeing 300 percent better 679 00:35:07,250 --> 00:35:05,160 then I a naturally normally saw without 680 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:07,260 my glasses on 681 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:09,690 and I thought this was rather astounding 682 00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:11,970 and I couldn't understand what was going 683 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:16,910 on so I decided to examine my own eyes 684 00:35:23,270 --> 00:35:19,650 something that's not easy to do because 685 00:35:26,570 --> 00:35:23,280 I have an instrument in front of my face 686 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:26,580 and I'm playing with the knobs on the 687 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:28,410 instrument but I can't see what I'm 688 00:35:35,210 --> 00:35:31,290 doing so you could say it was like a 689 00:35:39,710 --> 00:35:35,220 double-blind experiment I was just doing 690 00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:39,720 on myself and so I examine my eyes and 691 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:43,730 when I came to the prescription that 692 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:47,490 looked optimal to me that felt optimal I 693 00:35:54,410 --> 00:35:50,210 came out from behind my instrument 694 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:54,420 thinking that my prescription might be 695 00:36:01,330 --> 00:35:57,290 weaker or maybe the instrument would 696 00:36:05,330 --> 00:36:01,340 essentially show no prescription at all 697 00:36:09,050 --> 00:36:05,340 because I was trained to believe that as 698 00:36:13,250 --> 00:36:09,060 your eyes worsen your ability to see 699 00:36:17,110 --> 00:36:13,260 your visual acuity also diminishes so if 700 00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:17,120 my visual acuity improved dramatically 701 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:20,880 logic would say to me maybe my 702 00:36:26,180 --> 00:36:23,370 prescription has changed now I was told 703 00:36:28,390 --> 00:36:26,190 that was impossible in my training but 704 00:36:32,630 --> 00:36:28,400 that was the only thing I could imagine 705 00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:32,640 when I came out behind my device and 706 00:36:41,039 --> 00:36:36,730 looked at the readings on the instrument 707 00:36:44,359 --> 00:36:41,049 I was totally blown away because here I 708 00:36:46,579 --> 00:36:44,369 was seeing 300% better 709 00:36:49,969 --> 00:36:46,589 but the prescription the optical 710 00:36:54,410 --> 00:36:49,979 measurements of my eyes had not changed 711 00:36:59,099 --> 00:36:54,420 at all hmm and then all of a sudden it 712 00:37:01,680 --> 00:36:59,109 was like the only way this could occur 713 00:37:05,029 --> 00:37:01,690 is if we are not seeing from the eyes 714 00:37:08,150 --> 00:37:05,039 alone that there are other mechanisms 715 00:37:12,839 --> 00:37:08,160 involved in the process of seeing and 716 00:37:15,989 --> 00:37:12,849 that led me to an experiment on myself 717 00:37:18,779 --> 00:37:15,999 the next four or five years which I 718 00:37:21,450 --> 00:37:18,789 called an experiment on the workings of 719 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:21,460 the mind 720 00:37:27,930 --> 00:37:24,450 and what I was trying to figure out is 721 00:37:30,810 --> 00:37:27,940 what is the relationship between what we 722 00:37:35,220 --> 00:37:30,820 call the mind's eye our point of view 723 00:37:38,310 --> 00:37:35,230 our ideas our beliefs and so on to our 724 00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:38,320 eyes and is there a way that I can 725 00:37:45,359 --> 00:37:41,470 access a state of mind 726 00:37:48,660 --> 00:37:45,369 shift something that can allow me to 727 00:37:52,370 --> 00:37:48,670 replicate this profound experience 728 00:37:56,329 --> 00:37:52,380 well I couldn't find such a place even 729 00:37:59,599 --> 00:37:56,339 with all of my searching 730 00:38:05,539 --> 00:37:59,609 I should tell you that it's been 42 731 00:38:08,749 --> 00:38:05,549 years since that day in 1976 I'm over 71 732 00:38:12,410 --> 00:38:08,759 years old right now and I have never 733 00:38:17,329 --> 00:38:12,420 worn a pair of glasses to see a distance 734 00:38:19,309 --> 00:38:17,339 or for reading since that day and none 735 00:38:23,630 --> 00:38:19,319 of my eye doctors and I see my eye 736 00:38:26,690 --> 00:38:23,640 doctors every year can understand how it 737 00:38:29,269 --> 00:38:26,700 is that I have a significant 738 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:29,279 prescription but I still see clearly 739 00:38:34,370 --> 00:38:32,130 that's the first thing 740 00:38:37,310 --> 00:38:34,380 second thing I want to share with you is 741 00:38:40,690 --> 00:38:37,320 in response to your question what is it 742 00:38:43,130 --> 00:38:40,700 that I discovered that I sense is 743 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:43,140 related to what you're asking for 744 00:38:49,579 --> 00:38:45,450 in other words 745 00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:49,589 what is the source of our seeing when we 746 00:39:00,620 --> 00:38:56,510 talk about me or I Who am I 747 00:39:03,070 --> 00:39:00,630 because if we can determine our essence 748 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:03,080 our essential self 749 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:05,690 that is the part that's actually seeing 750 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:08,930 so here we've been led to believe we see 751 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:10,970 with our eyes 752 00:39:15,780 --> 00:39:14,690 if our eyes are closed or there is no 753 00:39:17,980 --> 00:39:15,790 light 754 00:39:20,790 --> 00:39:17,990 obviously we shouldn't be able to see 755 00:39:22,490 --> 00:39:20,800 based on that 756 00:39:26,430 --> 00:39:22,500 but all of us go to sleep at night 757 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:26,440 there's no light outside we close our 758 00:39:34,620 --> 00:39:30,330 eyes and very frequently almost nightly 759 00:39:38,870 --> 00:39:34,630 we have dreams some are incredibly vivid 760 00:39:43,140 --> 00:39:38,880 they are filled with light and color and 761 00:39:45,829 --> 00:39:43,150 yet there is no light and color they are 762 00:39:48,759 --> 00:39:45,839 filled with 763 00:39:51,709 --> 00:39:48,769 something that looks like life and 764 00:39:54,679 --> 00:39:51,719 certain abilities that are beyond 765 00:39:57,229 --> 00:39:54,689 anything we can imagine in life like 766 00:39:59,900 --> 00:39:57,239 people have dreams of flying and so on 767 00:40:01,550 --> 00:39:59,910 or being in different locations very 768 00:40:05,630 --> 00:40:01,560 quickly 769 00:40:08,030 --> 00:40:05,640 so we know that the seeing mechanism is 770 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:08,040 a lot more than the eyes 771 00:40:14,180 --> 00:40:10,890 and then of course you would then come 772 00:40:16,550 --> 00:40:14,190 to the common sensical idea that well 773 00:40:18,230 --> 00:40:16,560 it's the mind then 774 00:40:22,430 --> 00:40:18,240 and of course that would make sense 775 00:40:25,610 --> 00:40:22,440 because you know the mind is aware and 776 00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:25,620 awake and so on to certain degrees when 777 00:40:31,820 --> 00:40:27,870 you're sleeping 778 00:40:35,540 --> 00:40:31,830 but if you look carefully every human 779 00:40:39,260 --> 00:40:35,550 being has a very profound experience so 780 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:39,270 for instance you like all of our 781 00:40:46,420 --> 00:40:43,170 listeners like every human being has 782 00:40:51,170 --> 00:40:46,430 this phenomenon that we call thinking or 783 00:40:56,390 --> 00:40:51,180 thoughts which essentially means that we 784 00:41:01,130 --> 00:40:56,400 are aware of some mind chatter would you 785 00:41:04,970 --> 00:41:01,140 agree I would definitely okay so when 786 00:41:09,390 --> 00:41:04,980 you are aware that there's chatter going 787 00:41:14,670 --> 00:41:09,400 on who is it that is aware of that 788 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:14,680 hmm only myself really right well who is 789 00:41:22,740 --> 00:41:19,450 yourself because you say myself so 790 00:41:29,190 --> 00:41:22,750 you're saying that myself is aware of 791 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:29,200 this thing that we call my mind because 792 00:41:35,849 --> 00:41:32,290 the chatter is coming from what we call 793 00:41:38,190 --> 00:41:35,859 the ego or the conscious mind 794 00:41:43,010 --> 00:41:38,200 and we've been led to believe that's us 795 00:41:46,609 --> 00:41:43,020 and that we are doing the thinking 796 00:41:50,030 --> 00:41:46,619 but most of the time what we call the 797 00:41:53,150 --> 00:41:50,040 thought arises by itself we don't know 798 00:41:56,210 --> 00:41:53,160 from where it comes and then we become 799 00:41:59,960 --> 00:41:56,220 aware of it but we're so used to saying 800 00:42:02,530 --> 00:41:59,970 it's my mind that we believe that we're 801 00:42:05,780 --> 00:42:02,540 either thinking it or not thinking it 802 00:42:09,250 --> 00:42:05,790 what I came to discover many years ago 803 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:09,260 is that we are not the thinker of the 804 00:42:19,650 --> 00:42:15,290 thoughts we are that which is aware of 805 00:42:24,210 --> 00:42:19,660 the thinking when it is occurring 806 00:42:27,810 --> 00:42:24,220 the difference between the mind 807 00:42:32,220 --> 00:42:27,820 and this something that is aware of the 808 00:42:34,710 --> 00:42:32,230 mind thinking is that you always know 809 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:34,720 when the thinking is going on because 810 00:42:43,380 --> 00:42:39,130 you're aware of talking of a voice the 811 00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:43,390 observer or this field of awareness that 812 00:42:50,940 --> 00:42:46,840 notices it never talks 813 00:42:53,430 --> 00:42:50,950 it has no point of view you see the mind 814 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:53,440 sees things is good or bad and right and 815 00:43:01,730 --> 00:42:56,490 wrong I like it I don't like it 816 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:01,740 it resides in what we call duality this 817 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:04,770 field of awareness let's call it an 818 00:43:12,740 --> 00:43:09,690 observer has no point of view 819 00:43:16,220 --> 00:43:12,750 doesn't speak so if you hear a voice it 820 00:43:19,460 --> 00:43:16,230 is not your essence it is not yourself 821 00:43:21,260 --> 00:43:19,470 that you were speaking about it is the 822 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:21,270 mind 823 00:43:30,350 --> 00:43:25,050 what is noticing that is our essence and 824 00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:30,360 because that place sees from no point of 825 00:43:36,610 --> 00:43:32,110 view 826 00:43:39,650 --> 00:43:36,620 it sees with absolute clarity 827 00:43:43,190 --> 00:43:39,660 it is our point of view 828 00:43:46,490 --> 00:43:43,200 that causes us to see more of one thing 829 00:43:50,900 --> 00:43:46,500 unless of another it reduces our ability 830 00:43:52,450 --> 00:43:50,910 to see clearly when there is no point of 831 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:52,460 view 832 00:44:02,350 --> 00:43:55,010 everything is perfect just the way that 833 00:44:05,650 --> 00:44:02,360 it is so in terms of my sense of how my 834 00:44:09,910 --> 00:44:05,660 vision shifted it wasn't because I 835 00:44:14,410 --> 00:44:09,920 exercised my eyes or because I did any 836 00:44:17,410 --> 00:44:14,420 sort of mind games it is because I 837 00:44:21,190 --> 00:44:17,420 discovered who I was 838 00:44:24,820 --> 00:44:21,200 hmm I discovered that I wasn't all that 839 00:44:27,940 --> 00:44:24,830 chatter you know in this psychology 840 00:44:32,260 --> 00:44:27,950 field there are famous experiments that 841 00:44:34,770 --> 00:44:32,270 were done on dogs where every time they 842 00:44:38,350 --> 00:44:34,780 gave the dog food they would ring a bell 843 00:44:41,290 --> 00:44:38,360 so the dogs were conditioned to 844 00:44:44,710 --> 00:44:41,300 associate the ringing of a bell with the 845 00:44:47,050 --> 00:44:44,720 food coming mm-hmm after doing that for 846 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:47,060 a while and these were called Pavlov's 847 00:44:55,140 --> 00:44:50,090 dogs because Pavlov was the person that 848 00:44:58,270 --> 00:44:55,150 did the experiment after a while Pavlov 849 00:45:02,350 --> 00:44:58,280 stopped ringing food but just rung the 850 00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:02,360 bell every time he rung the bell all the 851 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:03,730 dogs salivated 852 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:06,970 mm-hmm in other words they were 853 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:12,890 conditioned to react a certain way even 854 00:45:20,110 --> 00:45:15,170 though there was no food 855 00:45:21,850 --> 00:45:20,120 every human being is conditioned the 856 00:45:25,990 --> 00:45:21,860 term they used to use for that years ago 857 00:45:30,700 --> 00:45:26,000 was brainwashing so let's talk about one 858 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:30,710 simple example of conditioning when an 859 00:45:37,780 --> 00:45:34,130 infant comes into the world an infant 860 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:37,790 does not know it is an infant 861 00:45:45,820 --> 00:45:41,210 it has no sense of gender 862 00:45:48,610 --> 00:45:45,830 it has no sense of skin coloration 863 00:45:51,140 --> 00:45:48,620 it has no awareness of religious 864 00:45:54,530 --> 00:45:51,150 differences 865 00:45:58,270 --> 00:45:54,540 it doesn't come in liking chicken and 866 00:46:01,720 --> 00:45:58,280 disliking broccoli 867 00:46:06,550 --> 00:46:01,730 it has no preferences 868 00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:06,560 this is why it was said that an infant 869 00:46:14,740 --> 00:46:11,040 lives in oceanic bliss 870 00:46:17,620 --> 00:46:14,750 because the infant is in a state of 871 00:46:20,500 --> 00:46:17,630 uncondition ality 872 00:46:25,570 --> 00:46:20,510 the infant doesn't even know that it 873 00:46:29,980 --> 00:46:25,580 exists separate from the other person 874 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:29,990 that we call its mother it has no sense 875 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:33,290 of self as something separate from 876 00:46:38,620 --> 00:46:34,370 anything else 877 00:46:42,430 --> 00:46:38,630 it lives in unity now you know all 878 00:46:46,300 --> 00:46:42,440 infants when they have to urinate for 879 00:46:47,780 --> 00:46:46,310 instance they just urinate into their 880 00:46:49,940 --> 00:46:47,790 diaper 881 00:46:53,060 --> 00:46:49,950 or they defecate if that's what's 882 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:53,070 required but when an infant gets to a 883 00:47:00,270 --> 00:46:56,330 certain stage that time when we say oh 884 00:47:03,630 --> 00:47:00,280 they should be toilet trained 885 00:47:07,140 --> 00:47:03,640 when the child naturally urinates for 886 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:07,150 instance or defecates the mother or 887 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:09,370 father oh no you can't do that you have 888 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:13,010 to hold it until we get to the bathroom 889 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:18,290 so then what happens is normal meets up 890 00:47:24,700 --> 00:47:21,770 with natural the infant is responding in 891 00:47:28,290 --> 00:47:24,710 a way that's natural but the world is 892 00:47:31,950 --> 00:47:28,300 saying what's natural is not normal 893 00:47:33,780 --> 00:47:31,960 what's normal is that you hold your 894 00:47:35,710 --> 00:47:33,790 bowel movement 895 00:47:39,430 --> 00:47:35,720 and so 896 00:47:42,460 --> 00:47:39,440 the infant all of a sudden receives the 897 00:47:46,270 --> 00:47:42,470 message that they need to monitor 898 00:47:49,420 --> 00:47:46,280 themselves continually to say the right 899 00:47:51,700 --> 00:47:49,430 thing to do the right thing so that they 900 00:47:55,140 --> 00:47:51,710 are acceptable 901 00:48:00,010 --> 00:47:55,150 that monitoring system that is 902 00:48:04,059 --> 00:48:00,020 continually determining what the person 903 00:48:07,839 --> 00:48:04,069 should do to ensure safety security and 904 00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:07,849 predictability on a planet where safety 905 00:48:15,340 --> 00:48:10,430 security and predictability do not exist 906 00:48:18,620 --> 00:48:15,350 that monitor is what you call the mind 907 00:48:21,499 --> 00:48:18,630 that's what you call thinking 908 00:48:23,359 --> 00:48:21,509 but thinking isn't really thinking it's 909 00:48:26,059 --> 00:48:23,369 worrying 910 00:48:30,380 --> 00:48:26,069 it's what we go through most of the time 911 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:30,390 in hopes that we can guarantee that we 912 00:48:34,460 --> 00:48:32,490 will come through the situation okay 913 00:48:37,970 --> 00:48:34,470 that we will get the job 914 00:48:43,099 --> 00:48:37,980 get the raise past the test be liked by 915 00:48:46,350 --> 00:48:43,109 the girl or boy and so on so one of the 916 00:48:49,430 --> 00:48:46,360 biggest issues that humanity has 917 00:48:53,370 --> 00:48:49,440 is we've all been conditioned to 918 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:53,380 experience life through our ideas of 919 00:49:00,090 --> 00:48:56,290 what we were told was acceptable or not 920 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:00,100 acceptable rather than to see life 921 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:05,170 directly and they awakening that people 922 00:49:12,870 --> 00:49:08,890 speak about the enlightening is when one 923 00:49:15,900 --> 00:49:12,880 realizes that they are not the mind mhm 924 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:15,910 and then you don't have to do anything 925 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:18,490 to change your belief or to quiet the 926 00:49:26,670 --> 00:49:22,810 mind once you begin to identify with 927 00:49:29,580 --> 00:49:26,680 your essence then what occurs is over a 928 00:49:32,820 --> 00:49:29,590 while the mind begins to quiet by itself 929 00:49:36,780 --> 00:49:32,830 and it sits off in the background most 930 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:36,790 of the time each of us have things that 931 00:49:41,220 --> 00:49:38,170 really trouble us 932 00:49:43,380 --> 00:49:41,230 so we'll experience the mind and 933 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:43,390 interacting with it many times in our 934 00:49:49,710 --> 00:49:46,570 life but most of the time it'll be in 935 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:49,720 the background I mean this is also 936 00:49:54,210 --> 00:49:52,090 interesting in I learned from your book 937 00:49:57,210 --> 00:49:54,220 there is some real science that shows 938 00:50:00,300 --> 00:49:57,220 that we sense photons before they 939 00:50:02,190 --> 00:50:00,310 actually take shape and form and we have 940 00:50:04,050 --> 00:50:02,200 a lot of processing in this regard 941 00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:04,060 that's going on before our conscious 942 00:50:08,610 --> 00:50:06,250 mind even realizes it this is writing 943 00:50:10,650 --> 00:50:08,620 the Nexus of what you're talking about 944 00:50:13,170 --> 00:50:10,660 but it's interesting that there is so 945 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:13,180 much science behind it and it has huge 946 00:50:19,609 --> 00:50:16,210 implications for flow States as opposed 947 00:50:24,769 --> 00:50:19,619 to ego thinking right 948 00:50:28,569 --> 00:50:24,779 yeah a lot of the philosophy you hear 949 00:50:32,599 --> 00:50:28,579 today is about trying to make the 950 00:50:36,559 --> 00:50:32,609 unconscious conscious but there's a 951 00:50:38,710 --> 00:50:36,569 reason why almost everything that comes 952 00:50:41,140 --> 00:50:38,720 from us 953 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:41,150 occurs at a level that were totally 954 00:50:47,500 --> 00:50:43,610 unconscious of 955 00:50:51,310 --> 00:50:47,510 and that is because we do not control 956 00:50:53,170 --> 00:50:51,320 any aspect of our physiology you don't 957 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:53,180 control when you go to the bathroom or 958 00:50:58,510 --> 00:50:56,090 not you don't control when you wake up 959 00:51:01,270 --> 00:50:58,520 or you don't you don't control your 960 00:51:04,620 --> 00:51:01,280 heartrate your breathing rate your 961 00:51:08,470 --> 00:51:04,630 secretions you don't control anything 962 00:51:11,210 --> 00:51:08,480 inside the body you also don't control 963 00:51:14,720 --> 00:51:11,220 anything in Mother Nature 964 00:51:18,079 --> 00:51:14,730 and yet we say to each other while I 965 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:18,089 create my own reality by the choices I 966 00:51:23,980 --> 00:51:19,490 make 967 00:51:26,090 --> 00:51:23,990 so I say to people okay how do you know 968 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:26,100 that 969 00:51:39,460 --> 00:51:36,290 and 970 00:51:42,790 --> 00:51:39,470 if you don't know how you know that 971 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:42,800 but you heard it from some author or 972 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:46,130 someone else then I think it's important 973 00:51:53,730 --> 00:51:50,210 for each of us to begin to look at that 974 00:51:55,380 --> 00:51:53,740 is that true 975 00:51:57,900 --> 00:51:55,390 you know when we're trying to think 976 00:52:01,060 --> 00:51:57,910 about something we often say god it's on 977 00:52:07,420 --> 00:52:02,800 and it doesn't come off the tip of our 978 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:07,430 tongue until we stop thinking and yet 979 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:09,290 we've been led to believe that we have 980 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:12,610 to think in order to get the answers 981 00:52:18,860 --> 00:52:15,410 what I have discovered 982 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:18,870 is that what we call thinking 983 00:52:23,390 --> 00:52:21,330 actually obstructs us from getting the 984 00:52:27,670 --> 00:52:23,400 answer 985 00:52:32,890 --> 00:52:27,680 charge 986 00:52:38,059 --> 00:52:32,900 when the mind is still and quiet so I 987 00:52:42,589 --> 00:52:38,069 think it's really important that all of 988 00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:42,599 us begin to have a direct experience of 989 00:52:47,950 --> 00:52:45,240 life I always say to audiences when I'm 990 00:52:51,470 --> 00:52:47,960 speaking publicly 991 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:51,480 don't believe anything I say 992 00:52:55,490 --> 00:52:54,690 if it resonates with you as oh yes I 993 00:52:58,550 --> 00:52:55,500 know that 994 00:53:00,740 --> 00:52:58,560 well you're not believing me 995 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:00,750 you're just acknowledging your own 996 00:53:10,609 --> 00:53:07,240 but rather than believing the person or 997 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:10,619 disbelieving the person trust your own 998 00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:13,770 guidance whatever is true for each 999 00:53:23,299 --> 00:53:19,250 person do an experiment in your own life 1000 00:53:26,599 --> 00:53:23,309 begin to see whether that's true is my 1001 00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:26,609 thinking really creative because we were 1002 00:53:33,230 --> 00:53:29,250 all told that thinking is what made us 1003 00:53:36,410 --> 00:53:33,240 more evolved than animals and so on but 1004 00:53:40,549 --> 00:53:36,420 science knows today that animals think 1005 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:40,559 and so do plants consciousness exists 1006 00:53:46,309 --> 00:53:43,290 everywhere 1007 00:53:48,949 --> 00:53:46,319 to the smallest microbe 1008 00:53:53,290 --> 00:53:48,959 a plant knows the difference between a 1009 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:53,300 drop of water touching its leaves 1010 00:53:58,050 --> 00:53:55,610 and the pitter-patter of a small 1011 00:54:00,820 --> 00:53:58,060 creature that's about to feast on it and 1012 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:00,830 it develops stress hormones in response 1013 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:06,610 to it so all these ideas that we are 1014 00:54:12,390 --> 00:54:09,890 highly evolved because we can think or 1015 00:54:15,730 --> 00:54:12,400 more evolved than other creatures I 1016 00:54:20,420 --> 00:54:15,740 think it's important for us to actually 1017 00:54:23,750 --> 00:54:20,430 notice is my thinking creative 1018 00:54:27,530 --> 00:54:23,760 or does it just surface when I'm scared 1019 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:27,540 and I don't know what's coming up and I 1020 00:54:34,010 --> 00:54:30,450 start feverishly to try to orchestrate 1021 00:54:38,330 --> 00:54:34,020 things in my mind and rehearsing them 1022 00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:38,340 internally in hopes I get it right hmm 1023 00:54:45,620 --> 00:54:42,210 yes and what I am sharing with the 1024 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:45,630 listener is the most exciting thing in 1025 00:54:53,870 --> 00:54:51,210 life is to live life without a net to 1026 00:54:56,930 --> 00:54:53,880 actually go into life empty-handed so 1027 00:54:58,910 --> 00:54:56,940 for instance I've been blessed to be 1028 00:55:03,270 --> 00:54:58,920 asked to speak in front of audiences 1029 00:55:06,220 --> 00:55:03,280 more than two thousand times as an adult 1030 00:55:08,650 --> 00:55:06,230 since 1977 1031 00:55:12,310 --> 00:55:08,660 I have not prepared anything for any 1032 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:12,320 talk I've done I have no notes I've 1033 00:55:20,710 --> 00:55:15,890 never used the PowerPoint I do not give 1034 00:55:24,340 --> 00:55:20,720 it any thought whatsoever it all occurs 1035 00:55:26,830 --> 00:55:24,350 by itself just like this conversation 1036 00:55:30,010 --> 00:55:26,840 today and you and I have never spoken 1037 00:55:32,710 --> 00:55:30,020 before last herb and now we're in the 1038 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:32,720 depths of something beautiful that seems 1039 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:35,210 to have a life of its own it's flowing 1040 00:55:39,660 --> 00:55:38,210 by itself and none of us have given it 1041 00:55:42,340 --> 00:55:39,670 much of a thought 1042 00:55:45,820 --> 00:55:42,350 wouldn't it be interesting if we could 1043 00:55:48,310 --> 00:55:45,830 live our lives that way it would it 1044 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:48,320 would and I like everything you're 1045 00:55:51,580 --> 00:55:49,970 saying I wanted to bring this up because 1046 00:55:54,310 --> 00:55:51,590 it kind of speaks to your point about 1047 00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:54,320 control but to step back to that first 1048 00:55:59,500 --> 00:55:57,410 quote where you say light guides us that 1049 00:56:01,030 --> 00:55:59,510 it directs us you write about a little 1050 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:01,040 game that you played that I thought 1051 00:56:06,340 --> 00:56:02,570 people might find interesting but you 1052 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:06,350 say I began around the clock practice of 1053 00:56:10,810 --> 00:56:08,810 anything that entered my awareness I was 1054 00:56:13,270 --> 00:56:10,820 responsible for anything that was my 1055 00:56:15,730 --> 00:56:13,280 responsibility I would attend to and 1056 00:56:18,250 --> 00:56:15,740 anything I attended to I would complete 1057 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:18,260 I did this practice for a week and did 1058 00:56:22,930 --> 00:56:21,170 not let anything by me by Sunday I was 1059 00:56:25,540 --> 00:56:22,940 picking cigarette butts up off the 1060 00:56:28,210 --> 00:56:25,550 street and I really liked that because 1061 00:56:30,100 --> 00:56:28,220 how often do we see dishes in the sink 1062 00:56:32,980 --> 00:56:30,110 or any number of things that we ignore 1063 00:56:35,110 --> 00:56:32,990 and then they nag at us and maybe we 1064 00:56:39,340 --> 00:56:35,120 should take your approach of instant 1065 00:56:41,910 --> 00:56:39,350 action maybe light is like a universal 1066 00:56:44,170 --> 00:56:41,920 parent dangling keys ahead of our 1067 00:56:45,910 --> 00:56:44,180 toddler head saying hey look over here 1068 00:56:47,710 --> 00:56:45,920 you know you need to pay attention to 1069 00:56:51,940 --> 00:56:47,720 this I just think the whole idea is 1070 00:56:55,540 --> 00:56:51,950 pretty pretty cool well listen we know 1071 00:56:59,200 --> 00:56:55,550 for a fact that the eye does not on its 1072 00:57:03,490 --> 00:56:59,210 own initiate action there is no part of 1073 00:57:07,060 --> 00:57:03,500 our physiology that is designed to begin 1074 00:57:11,550 --> 00:57:07,070 to initiate the action our entire 1075 00:57:13,090 --> 00:57:11,560 physiology works as a response mechanism 1076 00:57:16,450 --> 00:57:13,100 what is it 1077 00:57:19,300 --> 00:57:16,460 responding to its responding to a 1078 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:19,310 stimulus what is the mo 1079 00:57:26,350 --> 00:57:23,730 fundamental stimulus there is light it's 1080 00:57:30,140 --> 00:57:26,360 the vibration from which everything 1081 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:30,150 emerges so literally literally now 1082 00:57:38,780 --> 00:57:33,810 what's catching our eye is catching our 1083 00:57:42,860 --> 00:57:38,790 I purposely guided by the intelligence 1084 00:57:46,970 --> 00:57:42,870 of life to move us in the direction we 1085 00:57:50,990 --> 00:57:46,980 need to go this is why a plant follows 1086 00:57:54,020 --> 00:57:51,000 the light that impinges upon it so when 1087 00:57:56,780 --> 00:57:54,030 something catches our eye be it the bed 1088 00:58:01,130 --> 00:57:56,790 needs making or there's a dish in the 1089 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:01,140 sink or a text to return or an email or 1090 00:58:07,890 --> 00:58:05,290 phone call or a bill to be paid 1091 00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:07,900 the timing 1092 00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:10,090 that occurrence 1093 00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:12,850 coming from the same intelligence that 1094 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:15,610 regulates the rising and setting of the 1095 00:58:23,930 --> 00:58:20,530 Sun the movement of planets the change 1096 00:58:27,900 --> 00:58:23,940 in the tides and seasons in other words 1097 00:58:30,690 --> 00:58:27,910 this is not occurring by accident this 1098 00:58:35,660 --> 00:58:30,700 is occurring at the precise instants of 1099 00:58:38,829 --> 00:58:35,670 time when you realize this 1100 00:58:43,150 --> 00:58:38,839 it's not about us needing to take action 1101 00:58:46,099 --> 00:58:43,160 when the light catches the eye the eye 1102 00:58:50,059 --> 00:58:46,109 reflexively and effortlessly moves 1103 00:58:53,539 --> 00:58:50,069 towards it the body then turns towards 1104 00:58:58,339 --> 00:58:53,549 it without any effort and we naturally 1105 00:59:02,839 --> 00:58:58,349 begin to respond to it effortlessly the 1106 00:59:07,370 --> 00:59:02,849 work that makes us fatigued is the work 1107 00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:07,380 that we engage in when we say I'll do it 1108 00:59:12,079 --> 00:59:08,730 later hmm 1109 00:59:14,460 --> 00:59:12,089 I'll prioritize it I'll take care of it 1110 00:59:20,739 --> 00:59:17,509 so much of our stress 1111 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:20,749 is because the mines is at do it later 1112 00:59:30,180 --> 00:59:26,890 when I feel love for my partner 1113 00:59:32,430 --> 00:59:30,190 every time I feel that I share it 1114 00:59:36,090 --> 00:59:32,440 doesn't make a difference when it is and 1115 00:59:40,980 --> 00:59:36,100 it could come at any moment 1116 00:59:43,900 --> 00:59:40,990 you know and what I'm sharing with you 1117 00:59:46,740 --> 00:59:43,910 and our listeners today 1118 00:59:49,329 --> 00:59:46,750 is that life is continually guiding us 1119 00:59:53,079 --> 00:59:49,339 the plant doesn't have to think about 1120 00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:53,089 which way to grow how much to grow when 1121 01:00:00,609 --> 00:59:56,690 to grow when not to grow something is 1122 01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:00,619 guiding it animals move the same way you 1123 01:00:07,299 --> 01:00:04,010 know I live in Maui every year thousands 1124 01:00:11,109 --> 01:00:07,309 of whales migrate from Alaska to Maui 1125 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:11,119 they make a ten thousand mile journey no 1126 01:00:19,630 --> 01:00:16,490 compasses no iPhones with navigational 1127 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:19,640 systems yet they travel primarily in 1128 01:00:24,010 --> 01:00:21,770 straight lines and regardless of 1129 01:00:26,770 --> 01:00:24,020 environmental conditions and currents 1130 01:00:30,100 --> 01:00:26,780 their route from year to year doesn't 1131 01:00:32,380 --> 01:00:30,110 vary even one degree 1132 01:00:35,740 --> 01:00:32,390 what is it that's guiding them what is 1133 01:00:40,450 --> 01:00:35,750 it that's guiding migratory birds that 1134 01:00:43,530 --> 01:00:40,460 make thousands of Maui's without leaders 1135 01:00:45,940 --> 01:00:43,540 and without followers 1136 01:00:48,940 --> 01:00:45,950 what's guiding us 1137 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:48,950 and I'm not talking about spiritual whoo 1138 01:00:59,620 --> 01:00:54,210 right now I'm talking about hard science 1139 01:01:03,680 --> 01:00:59,630 I'm talking about real hard science so 1140 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:03,690 science and spirituality are both 1141 01:01:08,510 --> 01:01:06,690 looking for the same thing one looks 1142 01:01:11,060 --> 01:01:08,520 through it microscope and a telescope 1143 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:11,070 and the other one looks through direct 1144 01:01:16,730 --> 01:01:13,770 experience but they're both searching 1145 01:01:20,510 --> 01:01:16,740 for something similar the truth that 1146 01:01:23,270 --> 01:01:20,520 ultimately can set us free well said 1147 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:23,280 well said well man this has all been 1148 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:26,450 just so insightful a real pleasure 1149 01:01:30,860 --> 01:01:29,010 thanks for taking the time with me I 1150 01:01:33,470 --> 01:01:30,870 mean we mentioned luminous life the 1151 01:01:35,870 --> 01:01:33,480 latest book we mentioned light medicine 1152 01:01:38,390 --> 01:01:35,880 of the future you also have take off 1153 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:38,400 your glasses and see that's a great 1154 01:01:42,770 --> 01:01:40,290 title right there anything else to 1155 01:01:46,730 --> 01:01:42,780 remind people about your work

01:10:37,300 --> 01:10:34,790 kid but if we could just restore the 1357 01:10:40,480 --> 01:10:37,310 damage I did at punk rock shows in high 1358 01:10:43,540 --> 01:10:40,490 school I wouldn't be

01:10:49,340 it is like the last domino that maybe 1362 01:10:54,130 --> 01:10:51,620 needs to fall I've been able to explain 1363 01:10:57,210 --> 01:10:54,140 strange experiences in my past given

I was just so 1367 01:11:08,530 --> 01:11:06,440 consumed and obsessed by and become much 1368 01:11:11,260 --> 01:11:08,540 more knowledgeable and a whole host of 1369 01:11:14,230 --> 01:11:11,270 subjects and have more than justified my 1370 01:11:16,870 --> 01:11:14,240 internal outrage at Authority so I've 1371 01:11:18,460 --> 01:11:16,880 reeled a lot of things back and although 1372 01:11:22,270 --> 01:11:18,470 I don't think I'm going to restore the 1373 01:11:25,510 --> 01:11:22,280 forskin situation the last real lasting 1374 01:11:28,900 --> 01:11:25,520 damage from the system would be this 1375 01:11:30,790 --> 01:11:28,910 hearing issue and not necessarily that 1376 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:30,800 it was system caused but if there is a 1377 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:33,650 healing technique out there that has 1378 01:11:39,480 --> 01:11:36,290 been suppressed from me in that regard I 1379 01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:39,490 can blame the system so you know 1380 01:11:44,290 --> 01:11:42,170 something just tells me that that might 1381 01:11:47,290 --> 01:11:44,300 have happened for a reason and might not 1382 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:47,300 be as permanent as
