1 00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:02,570 yes I just have to say I'm struck by at 2 00:00:07,070 --> 00:00:04,710 least one aspect of the audience I speak 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:07,080 a lot of holistic psychology and energy 4 00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:09,650 healing type of conferences and the 5 00:00:15,709 --> 00:00:11,849 participants are usually therapists and 6 00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:15,719 energy workers on e 90% are women they 7 00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:17,880 talk about how they really get the stuff 8 00:00:21,759 --> 00:00:19,289 and then they go home to their 9 00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:21,769 engineering boyfriends and husbands and 10 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:24,150 vessel without it looks like all the 11 00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:25,650 boyfriends the core engineers and 12 00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:28,080 academic came tonight so thank you for 13 00:00:34,010 --> 00:00:30,510 coming and your girlfriends and wives 14 00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:34,020 are wonderful by the way so I'm a 15 00:00:37,580 --> 00:00:35,880 psychiatrist I worked at Spaulding rehab 16 00:00:39,709 --> 00:00:37,590 hospital in the pain management program 17 00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:39,719 for about 30 years have a long-standing 18 00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:41,790 interest in energy medicine and some of 19 00:00:46,490 --> 00:00:44,460 the healing modalities which I learned 20 00:00:48,619 --> 00:00:46,500 about kind of before my brainwashing 21 00:00:51,470 --> 00:00:48,629 process was complete so I've been 22 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:51,480 traveling both tracks and chronic pain 23 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:53,850 allows you the opportunity because 24 00:00:57,260 --> 00:00:55,530 patients are miserable they're willing 25 00:00:59,180 --> 00:00:57,270 to try anything so we've used a lot of 26 00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:59,190 these energy modalities over the years 27 00:01:03,860 --> 00:01:01,920 and one situation in particular really 28 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:03,870 caught my attention because it was very 29 00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:06,210 hard to explain by the standard medical 30 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:08,729 model its phantom limb pain so I'm gonna 31 00:01:14,510 --> 00:01:11,010 be talking about that clinically and 32 00:01:16,330 --> 00:01:14,520 energetically in some ways the best way 33 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:16,340 to start is actually with a brief 34 00:01:24,460 --> 00:01:20,770 five-minute video clip so let me just 35 00:01:26,770 --> 00:01:24,470 let's eat the aptly named John Peter who 36 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:26,780 after losing an arm saw the company 37 00:01:32,290 --> 00:01:29,210 which provides amputees salt people for 38 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:32,300 films my mother hasn't 20 years ago my 39 00:01:42,130 --> 00:01:35,690 fault basically and that the dead are 40 00:01:44,890 --> 00:01:42,140 active what our absolute student is 41 00:01:46,690 --> 00:01:44,900 phantom limb pain you do something here 42 00:01:48,010 --> 00:01:46,700 talk us through how that works 43 00:01:50,170 --> 00:01:48,020 it's all since different heights 44 00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:50,180 different levels of pain sometimes it 45 00:01:55,090 --> 00:01:51,920 feels like she's got a finger stuck pins 46 00:01:57,850 --> 00:01:55,100 needle type in and in there are times 47 00:01:59,890 --> 00:01:57,860 when you go there this incredible sharp 48 00:02:02,500 --> 00:01:59,900 pain it's really nice to feel the 49 00:02:04,540 --> 00:02:02,510 fingers and forces you know still feel 50 00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:04,550 perhaps the fingers I hear like a movie 51 00:02:08,889 --> 00:02:07,310 but wrestling with you which haven't 52 00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:08,899 been entirely comfortable although it's 53 00:02:12,910 --> 00:02:11,120 sort of it's related to that but I 54 00:02:15,220 --> 00:02:12,920 deserve them because just draw around 55 00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:15,230 your prosthetic hand there 56 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:19,160 Davina so it's a part for me and a dryer 57 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:20,530 on her mother's 58 00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:28,370 if you could take your phone 59 00:02:37,330 --> 00:02:35,230 so biology is a popular kind of 60 00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:37,340 imaginary game first thing I'd like to 61 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:40,190 just about that your arm is that sighs 62 00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:43,610 just help you this motorized for me and 63 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:47,209 then this is imaginary game that's right 64 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:48,410 arm on this angle 65 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:50,570 it's absolutely this sensitive and 66 00:02:57,340 --> 00:02:54,410 vibrant alive the sister was and in 67 00:02:58,860 --> 00:02:57,350 imaginary going I'm going to touch a lot 68 00:03:01,420 --> 00:02:58,870 of fingers obviously it would be 69 00:03:02,620 --> 00:03:01,430 physically impossible for you to feel 70 00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:02,630 much from those things I'm touching 71 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:03,560 because there is essentially nothing 72 00:03:06,490 --> 00:03:04,400 there at all 73 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:06,500 but instead of you thinking I don't know 74 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:07,970 what you do think what if I didn't know 75 00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:10,250 which finger when I feel good touch it 76 00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:12,470 but I didn't ask used to just so that 77 00:03:18,670 --> 00:03:13,910 everybody knows that you really aren't 78 00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:18,680 going to be able to see you look to your 79 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:20,870 left from you just turn your head to the 80 00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:23,690 left that's right touch one of the 81 00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:27,650 fingers know 82 00:03:37,690 --> 00:03:30,470 so the I suppose from shallow to thinner 83 00:03:39,699 --> 00:03:37,700 Akira Ernest just taken what mister that 84 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:39,709 recession since I should being character 85 00:03:45,399 --> 00:03:42,650 from thee touch receptors in the dermis 86 00:03:47,470 --> 00:03:45,409 of the skin there a message we Carol 87 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:47,480 always fun comment your brain where it's 88 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:50,090 interpreted as it's an accession of one 89 00:03:58,390 --> 00:03:54,890 of those fingers being touched and then 90 00:04:00,150 --> 00:03:58,400 imaginary secession can you tell which 91 00:04:06,910 --> 00:04:00,160 finger touch 92 00:04:08,530 --> 00:04:06,920 no muscle mister anything we're going to 93 00:04:10,270 --> 00:04:08,540 be trying it and what are the islands of 94 00:04:11,559 --> 00:04:10,280 a building right so if you do the same 95 00:04:13,330 --> 00:04:11,569 thing for me personalized just going off 96 00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:13,340 to the side now I've got a box of 97 00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:14,840 objects here on the table I'm gonna 98 00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:17,209 place an object onto the part of that 99 00:04:26,189 --> 00:04:17,600 hand 100 00:04:29,379 --> 00:04:26,199 keep your eyes closed like that please 101 00:04:32,170 --> 00:04:29,389 don't peek what you said you get a 102 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:32,180 beginning to the sensation their weight 103 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:35,810 or Tavish our service but you know I 104 00:04:40,189 --> 00:04:36,490 think 105 00:04:46,860 --> 00:04:40,199 you get first innocence on this moon 106 00:04:47,969 --> 00:04:46,870 Sophia sleuth okay what about shape okay 107 00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:47,979 I know I know when you shake it and 108 00:04:51,180 --> 00:04:49,449 that's gonna be you think you know who 109 00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:51,190 can't do it so I think more into that 110 00:04:53,939 --> 00:04:52,960 gets the calendar so that's become that 111 00:04:55,260 --> 00:04:53,949 the batter again wants like a 112 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:55,270 role-playing game play the role of 113 00:05:02,210 --> 00:04:57,490 something you feel something in there so 114 00:05:05,580 --> 00:05:02,220 you said it's smooth quite thin along 115 00:05:08,629 --> 00:05:05,590 okay it feels kind of like a plastic he 116 00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:08,639 kind of this is very distinguished I 117 00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:11,889 can't wait a little to see you get any 118 00:05:26,999 --> 00:05:20,440 [Music] 119 00:05:30,029 --> 00:05:27,009 there's no bad so she won't but then do 120 00:05:32,309 --> 00:05:30,039 it again soon right 121 00:05:40,409 --> 00:05:32,319 let's listen to one more song pleasure I 122 00:05:47,690 --> 00:05:40,419 saw you change to something else okay 123 00:05:57,499 --> 00:05:53,549 [Music] 124 00:06:06,749 --> 00:05:57,509 ceramic is you getting like a cooler 125 00:06:09,140 --> 00:06:06,759 harder more solid surface shape just 126 00:06:17,390 --> 00:06:09,150 concentrate on the sensation 127 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:17,400 [Music] 128 00:06:23,460 --> 00:06:21,850 I think opposites oh yeah really 129 00:06:29,070 --> 00:06:23,470 okay 130 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:29,080 [Music] 131 00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:38,810 I felt that the kind of smoothness the 132 00:06:41,530 --> 00:06:41,120 coldness the essence for any first touch 133 00:06:43,710 --> 00:06:41,540 it 134 00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:43,720 and I see nice to put figures or the cup 135 00:06:50,290 --> 00:06:47,360 so I knew that it's following sort of I 136 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:50,300 hope is very hard kind of picked a 137 00:06:55,570 --> 00:06:52,130 different artist sensation to gain from 138 00:06:58,390 --> 00:06:55,580 weight cold sweetness whatever you can 139 00:07:00,430 --> 00:06:58,400 kind of discern Dave that's quite scary 140 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:00,440 we all miss interesting fields that I 141 00:07:06,130 --> 00:07:03,050 had hasn't been there for need for years 142 00:07:08,740 --> 00:07:06,140 very very very scary well the 143 00:07:11,409 --> 00:07:08,750 limitations of biomedical model because 144 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:11,419 that says that everything originates in 145 00:07:15,190 --> 00:07:13,370 the brain and the nervous system and if 146 00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:15,200 there's nothing else that couldn't 147 00:07:19,630 --> 00:07:17,840 happen so I gave this presentation of 148 00:07:21,250 --> 00:07:19,640 very similar presentations just about a 149 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:21,260 month ago at Harvard at the Medical 150 00:07:25,390 --> 00:07:23,330 School where they have an institute to 151 00:07:28,510 --> 00:07:25,400 study research design for Integrative 152 00:07:31,780 --> 00:07:28,520 Medicine and you know seem like a good 153 00:07:34,570 --> 00:07:31,790 audience I presented this same slide 154 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:34,580 that slide I mean video to them and here 155 00:07:40,330 --> 00:07:35,690 were some of their potential 156 00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:40,340 explanations and you can see what the 157 00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:43,190 what the mentality is behind its total 158 00:07:47,770 --> 00:07:45,710 complete skepticism about the existence 159 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:47,780 of any kind of energy and you know these 160 00:07:50,740 --> 00:07:49,250 are possibilities that he might have 161 00:07:52,570 --> 00:07:50,750 peaked and they might have edited it out 162 00:07:53,710 --> 00:07:52,580 and you might have been told ahead of 163 00:07:56,260 --> 00:07:53,720 time and you know all I think these 164 00:07:58,330 --> 00:07:56,270 things could have happened that required 165 00:08:00,580 --> 00:07:58,340 an incredible amount of deception and 166 00:08:02,529 --> 00:08:00,590 ill will for that to happen but you know 167 00:08:05,980 --> 00:08:02,539 this is this is where a lot of academic 168 00:08:08,969 --> 00:08:05,990 centers draw the line and that's why in 169 00:08:11,170 --> 00:08:08,979 if it doesn't sound too worked 170 00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:11,180 phantom pain is my favorite pain 171 00:08:15,580 --> 00:08:13,520 disorder because it really shows the 172 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:15,590 limitations of the medical model so let 173 00:08:19,450 --> 00:08:17,570 me take you through a little bit of a 174 00:08:21,340 --> 00:08:19,460 history of it and show you what we can 175 00:08:23,469 --> 00:08:21,350 learn from it so this was the Bible in 176 00:08:25,330 --> 00:08:23,479 medical school Grey's Anatomy if you 177 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:25,340 knew though everything about the muscles 178 00:08:30,029 --> 00:08:26,810 and the bones and the cells and the 179 00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:30,039 tissues you could explain everything and 180 00:08:34,950 --> 00:08:33,200 our understanding of pain actually goes 181 00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:34,960 back to Descartes two or three 182 00:08:38,610 --> 00:08:36,729 fifty years ago peripheral noxious 183 00:08:40,980 --> 00:08:38,620 stimulus travels up to the brain where 184 00:08:44,090 --> 00:08:40,990 it's perceived as pain but we've 185 00:08:49,290 --> 00:08:44,100 actually made vast strides in 350 years 186 00:08:51,420 --> 00:08:49,300 because now our models are in color it's 187 00:08:53,579 --> 00:08:51,430 actually the exact same thing of 188 00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:53,589 peripheral not systemic you know there's 189 00:08:57,410 --> 00:08:55,570 more subdivisions and we can break it 190 00:09:01,920 --> 00:08:57,420 down into the earth the brain interprets 191 00:09:03,660 --> 00:09:01,930 really it's not that different so 192 00:09:06,690 --> 00:09:03,670 fortunately there's been a revised 193 00:09:09,329 --> 00:09:06,700 edition of Gray's Anatomy some of you 194 00:09:11,340 --> 00:09:09,339 may know the work of Alex gray sacred 195 00:09:13,050 --> 00:09:11,350 mirrors and just the whole notion that 196 00:09:15,150 --> 00:09:13,060 we're luminous beings and they have all 197 00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:15,160 these different inter penetrating layers 198 00:09:19,380 --> 00:09:16,510 of different kinds of energy 199 00:09:21,510 --> 00:09:19,390 interestingly enough he's not related to 200 00:09:24,540 --> 00:09:21,520 Sir John Gray that would have been a 201 00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:24,550 very amazing karmic reincarnation or 202 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:27,040 whatever but they're not connected so 203 00:09:32,250 --> 00:09:29,050 this is this is the model of anatomy the 204 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,260 full multi-dimensional model that we 205 00:09:36,060 --> 00:09:34,240 don't learn to medical school but you 206 00:09:37,710 --> 00:09:36,070 guys here are researching what are some 207 00:09:40,350 --> 00:09:37,720 of the aspects of it that are more than 208 00:09:41,940 --> 00:09:40,360 just then that's in the bolts and and 209 00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:41,950 the main point is that human beings are 210 00:09:46,050 --> 00:09:44,140 multi-dimensional and this again is the 211 00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:46,060 limitation of the medical model is it 212 00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:49,390 focuses just on the physical body even 213 00:09:54,449 --> 00:09:53,200 that idea of energy is you know we're 214 00:09:56,430 --> 00:09:54,459 learning to talk about it by using 215 00:09:58,620 --> 00:09:56,440 electromagnetism as the language rather 216 00:10:01,140 --> 00:09:58,630 than someone said earlier not warez 217 00:10:03,180 --> 00:10:01,150 you're not gonna find pubmed stuff on 218 00:10:06,090 --> 00:10:03,190 auras but electromagnetic fields and 219 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:06,100 then you know as a psychiatrist the mind 220 00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:08,010 and thoughts and emotions were important 221 00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:11,020 again it's it's still fairly peripheral 222 00:10:16,410 --> 00:10:13,390 social interconnections and social roles 223 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:16,420 the spiritual aspect of it and the 224 00:10:20,250 --> 00:10:18,010 non-local dimensions they're part of 225 00:10:22,319 --> 00:10:20,260 being human it's just a question of what 226 00:10:24,420 --> 00:10:22,329 paradigm we work with and whether you're 227 00:10:27,420 --> 00:10:24,430 looking at it like this or like this and 228 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:27,430 I think this is one of the best examples 229 00:10:34,319 --> 00:10:29,770 of incompleteness of the biopsychosocial 230 00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:34,329 model just a couple of words about how 231 00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:37,180 pain is approached in allopathic or 232 00:10:42,770 --> 00:10:40,240 Western medical model pains the enemy 233 00:10:44,890 --> 00:10:42,780 and in fact most symptoms are treated 234 00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:44,900 the enemy and a good example of a 235 00:10:50,050 --> 00:10:46,740 illustration of that is how our 236 00:10:52,190 --> 00:10:50,060 medications are all anticonvulsants 237 00:10:53,780 --> 00:10:52,200 anti-inflammatory antineoplastic were 238 00:10:56,390 --> 00:10:53,790 always against everything 239 00:11:04,280 --> 00:10:56,400 no really pro anything unless you count 240 00:11:05,450 --> 00:11:04,290 prozac so really what in an integrative 241 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:05,460 approach you want to know about the 242 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:07,290 person with the pain and the notion that 243 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:09,330 pain is providing feedback that it's 244 00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:11,610 actually a useful signal not to be 245 00:11:16,940 --> 00:11:13,680 obliterated but to be learned from and 246 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:16,950 what are ways of rebalancing the patient 247 00:11:21,410 --> 00:11:19,650 so the program that I worked in has been 248 00:11:23,540 --> 00:11:21,420 multidisciplinary we have physical 249 00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:23,550 therapists occupational therapists a 250 00:11:29,450 --> 00:11:26,640 pain doctor to do some medication where 251 00:11:31,010 --> 00:11:29,460 appropriate and a very strong behavioral 252 00:11:32,420 --> 00:11:31,020 component which I'll talk a little bit 253 00:11:34,730 --> 00:11:32,430 about but the main thing is that we 254 00:11:37,610 --> 00:11:34,740 teach people how to self-regulate their 255 00:11:45,230 --> 00:11:37,620 nervous system with biofeedback some of 256 00:11:47,510 --> 00:11:45,240 the energy approach is well-traveled can 257 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:47,520 people here in the back or is it yeah 258 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:49,530 okay so most people get here all I'll 259 00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:53,010 try but we'll see how it goes so let me 260 00:11:59,360 --> 00:11:54,480 focus in a little bit about the history 261 00:12:00,950 --> 00:11:59,370 of phantom pain this is one of our 262 00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:00,960 typical patients at intake and in the 263 00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:03,900 clinic now this is from a French 264 00:12:09,140 --> 00:12:06,000 military surgeon from five or six 265 00:12:11,870 --> 00:12:09,150 hundred years ago and you know we learn 266 00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:11,880 a lot from Worf unfortunately but his 267 00:12:17,210 --> 00:12:13,950 descriptions of amputation and sequela 268 00:12:20,390 --> 00:12:17,220 are very accurate even even nowadays 269 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:20,400 Ambroise paré a in the American Civil 270 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:20,880 War 271 00:12:26,630 --> 00:12:24,450 Silas Mitchell was a similarly surgeon 272 00:12:28,850 --> 00:12:26,640 who did similar kind of documentation 273 00:12:32,570 --> 00:12:28,860 and helped us to understand the syndrome 274 00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:32,580 better and it's been a part of of our 275 00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:34,230 cultural history can you think of a 276 00:12:41,270 --> 00:12:38,160 famous patient with phantom pain phantom 277 00:12:47,060 --> 00:12:41,280 limb pain what would you say is the most 278 00:12:49,370 --> 00:12:47,070 famous you're I'm misleading you the 279 00:12:50,380 --> 00:12:49,380 literary figure Captain Ahab actually 280 00:12:53,530 --> 00:12:50,390 had phantom limb 281 00:12:56,740 --> 00:12:53,540 and there are a couple of quotes from 282 00:12:58,569 --> 00:12:56,750 moby dick where he talks about it the 283 00:13:00,430 --> 00:12:58,579 first one he's on the deck talking with 284 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:00,440 the carpenter and the carpenter said 285 00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:03,050 he's heard that a dis masted man you 286 00:13:07,150 --> 00:13:05,420 know using nautical terms never loses 287 00:13:09,460 --> 00:13:07,160 the feeling that it will still be 288 00:13:11,860 --> 00:13:09,470 pricking him at times so the notion that 289 00:13:14,650 --> 00:13:11,870 there are unpleasant sensations even 290 00:13:16,810 --> 00:13:14,660 after the amputation has happened so 291 00:13:20,410 --> 00:13:16,820 then a hab proposes is really an 292 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:20,420 experiment that the carpenter takes his 293 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:22,730 intact leg in places that where his 294 00:13:27,970 --> 00:13:25,010 takes away stumps so that two of them 295 00:13:30,130 --> 00:13:27,980 combined to make one distinct leg to the 296 00:13:33,130 --> 00:13:30,140 eye yet two to the soul because two 297 00:13:35,290 --> 00:13:33,140 people are having perceptions there so 298 00:13:37,210 --> 00:13:35,300 we're thou feel this tingling life they 299 00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:37,220 are exactly they're they're two a hairdo 300 00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:38,510 I it's a riddle 301 00:13:42,910 --> 00:13:40,910 and really that's the the whole notion 302 00:13:45,610 --> 00:13:42,920 of how do we perceive things that are 303 00:13:48,210 --> 00:13:45,620 invisible just a more modern at 304 00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:48,220 treatment of the situation's a movie 305 00:13:53,290 --> 00:13:50,990 based on a true story of a bicyclist who 306 00:13:55,569 --> 00:13:53,300 was injured in an automobile accident 307 00:13:57,130 --> 00:13:55,579 lost his leg and his life spiraled 308 00:13:57,550 --> 00:13:57,140 downward because he couldn't cycle 309 00:14:00,400 --> 00:13:57,560 anymore 310 00:14:02,530 --> 00:14:00,410 he was eventually healed of his phantom 311 00:14:04,030 --> 00:14:02,540 limb pain and there's a clue here in 312 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:04,040 this picture about what the healing 313 00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:09,050 ingredient of you good at reading body 314 00:14:13,470 --> 00:14:11,839 language so yes he meets a girl and she 315 00:14:16,060 --> 00:14:13,480 falls in love with him unconditionally 316 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:16,070 despite what happened to him 317 00:14:20,050 --> 00:14:17,690 and healing happens and that's a very 318 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:20,060 important phrase as I'll be talking 319 00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:22,130 about energy psychology in a bit some of 320 00:14:27,460 --> 00:14:24,649 the trauma release therapies where that 321 00:14:30,579 --> 00:14:27,470 particular aspect of unconditional love 322 00:14:34,030 --> 00:14:30,589 is so crucial so just a little bit about 323 00:14:36,009 --> 00:14:34,040 the the story of it it happens most 324 00:14:38,439 --> 00:14:36,019 commonly after post amputation but also 325 00:14:40,509 --> 00:14:38,449 even with spinal cord injury and a 326 00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:40,519 majority of amputee patients will have a 327 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:42,769 sensation that the limb is there it's 328 00:14:48,069 --> 00:14:44,930 not always painful but the numbers vary 329 00:14:50,259 --> 00:14:48,079 all over the place children have much 330 00:14:52,449 --> 00:14:50,269 lower percentages of the pain itself and 331 00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:52,459 people who are born without limbs 332 00:14:57,129 --> 00:14:54,560 congenitally do not have phantom 333 00:15:02,139 --> 00:14:57,139 and it can affect any organ anything 334 00:15:04,420 --> 00:15:02,149 that's been removed surgically you can 335 00:15:06,819 --> 00:15:04,430 have phantoms of and the pains are 336 00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:06,829 variable and extremely extremely 337 00:15:09,309 --> 00:15:07,550 unpleasant 338 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:09,319 and unfortunately medications and 339 00:15:12,910 --> 00:15:10,850 surgery and nerve oblations and things 340 00:15:14,860 --> 00:15:12,920 like that don't work very well so here's 341 00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:14,870 a fairly recent quote that says 342 00:15:21,660 --> 00:15:16,399 basically most currently available 343 00:15:24,970 --> 00:15:21,670 treatments are ineffective this is a 344 00:15:26,590 --> 00:15:24,980 pictorial display of the different types 345 00:15:28,420 --> 00:15:26,600 of sensation you can see you wouldn't 346 00:15:31,150 --> 00:15:28,430 want any part of your body to feel that 347 00:15:33,999 --> 00:15:31,160 way and the treatments have been aimed 348 00:15:35,860 --> 00:15:34,009 at every level of your axis of the 349 00:15:38,590 --> 00:15:35,870 spinal cord all the way up to the brain 350 00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:38,600 and yet still doesn't work there's a lot 351 00:15:45,699 --> 00:15:42,470 of very interesting neurobiology that's 352 00:15:48,549 --> 00:15:45,709 been studied especially with the notion 353 00:15:50,739 --> 00:15:48,559 of neuroplasticity the model is that the 354 00:15:52,869 --> 00:15:50,749 phantom sensations are basically 355 00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:52,879 hallucinations tactile hallucinations 356 00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:56,720 constructed by the cortex as part of a 357 00:16:00,970 --> 00:15:58,370 reorganization when you're not receiving 358 00:16:03,699 --> 00:16:00,980 direct sensations from there the brain 359 00:16:05,619 --> 00:16:03,709 will rewire to accommodate and they'll 360 00:16:08,199 --> 00:16:05,629 have F MRIs functional magnetic 361 00:16:11,230 --> 00:16:08,209 resonance imaging to show differences in 362 00:16:14,079 --> 00:16:11,240 function after amputation but really 363 00:16:16,210 --> 00:16:14,089 it's you know this whole idea of 364 00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:16,220 functional neural Anatomy is not is not 365 00:16:27,060 --> 00:16:24,420 so you recognize that's been it's been 366 00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:27,070 around for a long time we're actually 367 00:16:32,460 --> 00:16:29,350 black at the moment what what's it 368 00:16:33,630 --> 00:16:32,470 called phrenology thank you yeah they 369 00:16:36,780 --> 00:16:33,640 had the same idea that different 370 00:16:40,740 --> 00:16:36,790 emotions are located different bumps in 371 00:16:42,090 --> 00:16:40,750 the head rather than okay enough taking 372 00:16:44,699 --> 00:16:42,100 out my aggression on the Western medical 373 00:16:47,790 --> 00:16:44,709 model so there are many integrator 374 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:47,800 approaches to phantom pain including the 375 00:16:53,810 --> 00:16:50,410 standard sort of by mind-body approaches 376 00:16:56,130 --> 00:16:53,820 like biofeedback and hypnosis there's an 377 00:16:58,410 --> 00:16:56,140 innovative approach that evolved eye 378 00:17:00,780 --> 00:16:58,420 movements while thinking about upsetting 379 00:17:03,090 --> 00:17:00,790 events that somehow or other helps to 380 00:17:05,780 --> 00:17:03,100 release upsetting emotions and that's 381 00:17:08,579 --> 00:17:05,790 been very helpful with phantom pain 382 00:17:10,679 --> 00:17:08,589 there's a mirror box therapy that is 383 00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:10,689 really fascinating I don't have time to 384 00:17:15,299 --> 00:17:13,750 go into it but it involves for example 385 00:17:18,270 --> 00:17:15,309 if one arm is missing you set up a 386 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:18,280 mirror opposite your intact on so that 387 00:17:22,740 --> 00:17:20,170 it looks to you as though you have both 388 00:17:25,530 --> 00:17:22,750 arms and hands and fingers there you 389 00:17:27,689 --> 00:17:25,540 move your intact hands and it looks as 390 00:17:32,130 --> 00:17:27,699 though you're missing hands are back and 391 00:17:34,260 --> 00:17:32,140 are working and somehow or other that is 392 00:17:36,540 --> 00:17:34,270 a very effective course of treatment 393 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:36,550 I'll talk about the energetics of it 394 00:17:40,710 --> 00:17:38,530 later because this is proposed as part 395 00:17:43,710 --> 00:17:40,720 of the neuroplasticity model that your 396 00:17:46,169 --> 00:17:43,720 brain rewires and can learn new ways of 397 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:46,179 interpreting sensation this takes a 398 00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:48,010 while though the rewiring process takes 399 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:49,360 a while yet you'll see some of these 400 00:17:55,049 --> 00:17:52,090 energy approaches are much too rapid to 401 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:55,059 explain by that model so going back to 402 00:17:59,760 --> 00:17:56,770 the model that I think is necessary in 403 00:18:01,770 --> 00:17:59,770 order to understand it the energy field 404 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:01,780 model and it's part of our Western 405 00:18:05,450 --> 00:18:03,330 tradition this is the man 406 00:18:07,729 --> 00:18:05,460 and you know high spiritual beings are 407 00:18:12,409 --> 00:18:07,739 often portrayed with some kind of aura 408 00:18:16,899 --> 00:18:12,419 where Nimbus is if you will this is it 409 00:18:19,970 --> 00:18:16,909 could be an energy field diagram so so 410 00:18:24,979 --> 00:18:19,980 exact in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition 411 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:24,989 the same idea of different layers to an 412 00:18:29,899 --> 00:18:27,450 overriding energy field or rainbow body 413 00:18:32,539 --> 00:18:29,909 as they call it in Islam there's also 414 00:18:38,899 --> 00:18:32,549 the notion that people attainment also 415 00:18:40,729 --> 00:18:38,909 have corresponding luminosity I can't 416 00:18:42,409 --> 00:18:40,739 read this the the doctor is saying to 417 00:18:43,759 --> 00:18:42,419 his patient he's scolding his patient 418 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:43,769 he's saying you've been fooling around 419 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:46,930 with alternative medicines haven't you 420 00:18:51,420 --> 00:18:49,450 and so there's a there's a couple points 421 00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:51,430 a one is that your aura does expand with 422 00:18:55,290 --> 00:18:53,230 alternative medicine and the other is 423 00:18:57,090 --> 00:18:55,300 that if a withered prune of a doctor 424 00:19:00,660 --> 00:18:57,100 like that can sense energy fields then 425 00:19:03,060 --> 00:19:00,670 anybody princess and actually there are 426 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:03,070 some very simple demonstrations I don't 427 00:19:06,750 --> 00:19:04,690 know if you're familiar with some of 428 00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:06,760 these therapeutic touch type approaches 429 00:19:10,940 --> 00:19:08,470 again we don't have time to do a 430 00:19:13,020 --> 00:19:10,950 demonstration here but that type of 431 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:13,030 sensing that something is between your 432 00:19:18,660 --> 00:19:15,970 hands forms the basis for what I'm going 433 00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:18,670 to describe to you and you know now that 434 00:19:23,730 --> 00:19:21,520 we have modern electronic equipment 435 00:19:25,950 --> 00:19:23,740 people like Dartmouth folks and others 436 00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:25,960 are measuring that there is at least an 437 00:19:30,810 --> 00:19:28,470 electromagnetic type of field 438 00:19:33,510 --> 00:19:30,820 surrounding us whether that is the 439 00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:33,520 entirety of the energetics of the human 440 00:19:40,169 --> 00:19:37,360 field is not there yet well this goes 441 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:40,179 back to Franz Mesmer you know most 442 00:19:44,070 --> 00:19:41,770 people know him as a shaman and a quack 443 00:19:46,140 --> 00:19:44,080 but there's a very interesting backstory 444 00:19:49,890 --> 00:19:46,150 to him that he was very successful using 445 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:49,900 his animal magnetism and mesmeric passes 446 00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:52,330 in to such an extent that he was 447 00:19:55,620 --> 00:19:54,400 threatening the conventional doctors at 448 00:19:57,780 --> 00:19:55,630 that time and they called the Royal 449 00:20:00,630 --> 00:19:57,790 Commission and they did a hatchet job on 450 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:00,640 and they did you know some testing but 451 00:20:05,460 --> 00:20:03,850 it was highly biased and now 200 years 452 00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:05,470 later were coming back to have another 453 00:20:09,660 --> 00:20:07,809 look at him but the modern nursing 454 00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:09,670 practice of therapeutic touch is 455 00:20:16,260 --> 00:20:13,510 actually analog exact analog to his 456 00:20:18,030 --> 00:20:16,270 mesmeric passes so without going into 457 00:20:19,980 --> 00:20:18,040 too much detail just say that I learned 458 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:19,990 this technique and was using it in some 459 00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:22,090 of my patients and basically it involves 460 00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:24,790 feeling this sense that people often get 461 00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:26,640 a pressure or temperature or something 462 00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:30,550 you assess first the field around the 463 00:20:35,570 --> 00:20:33,130 patient so I was doing it with I decided 464 00:20:38,549 --> 00:20:35,580 to do with one particular patient 465 00:20:40,890 --> 00:20:38,559 because the normal treatment program 466 00:20:42,570 --> 00:20:40,900 wasn't particularly helpful he was a guy 467 00:20:46,169 --> 00:20:42,580 in his mid-30s had been very athletic 468 00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:46,179 and had lost it was above or below the 469 00:20:52,450 --> 00:20:49,760 knee and a crush injury at work 470 00:20:54,340 --> 00:20:52,460 and after the surgical amputation he was 471 00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:54,350 really hindered by the phantom pain and 472 00:20:58,570 --> 00:20:56,240 wasn't able to kind of get out of a rut 473 00:21:01,690 --> 00:20:58,580 and didn't respond well to most of the 474 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:01,700 treatments that we did so kind of out of 475 00:21:06,220 --> 00:21:03,890 desperation on my part a little bit of 476 00:21:08,620 --> 00:21:06,230 curiosity but was more along I thought 477 00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:08,630 about I asked him would you'd like to 478 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:10,400 try this new treatment called 479 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:13,250 therapeutic touch and as I mentioned 480 00:21:16,510 --> 00:21:14,810 they were willing to try anything second 481 00:21:18,370 --> 00:21:16,520 he'd laid down on the table he took off 482 00:21:21,430 --> 00:21:18,380 this prosthesis I said just close your 483 00:21:23,770 --> 00:21:21,440 eyes and relax and I started excuse me 484 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:23,780 by doing this assessment at this field 485 00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:26,330 and I could feel the same pressure that 486 00:21:29,650 --> 00:21:28,130 we could feel in our hands I felt on 487 00:21:32,650 --> 00:21:29,660 this body and for some reason I 488 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:32,660 continued down even where his leg was 489 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:35,930 missing and much to my surprise I could 490 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:38,690 feel that same pressure sensation you 491 00:21:43,180 --> 00:21:40,490 know down at his foot level even though 492 00:21:45,910 --> 00:21:43,190 there was no flesh and blood for a 493 00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:45,920 couple of feet anyway so that kind of 494 00:21:51,460 --> 00:21:49,130 made me react but as interesting if not 495 00:21:53,050 --> 00:21:51,470 more so was the patient's response he 496 00:21:54,430 --> 00:21:53,060 said what are you doing and he opened 497 00:21:56,170 --> 00:21:54,440 his eyes cuz his eyes have been closed 498 00:21:58,360 --> 00:21:56,180 and I said what's the matter he said I 499 00:22:02,530 --> 00:21:58,370 could feel you I could feel your hand 500 00:22:06,190 --> 00:22:02,540 touching my phantom so those two things 501 00:22:08,410 --> 00:22:06,200 were profoundly weird in a very positive 502 00:22:10,270 --> 00:22:08,420 sense because something happened it 503 00:22:12,130 --> 00:22:10,280 wasn't I suppose you could say it was 504 00:22:14,110 --> 00:22:12,140 you know there's that term for shared 505 00:22:16,060 --> 00:22:14,120 delusional system of fully under that we 506 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:16,070 had created some sort of something but 507 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:17,570 neither of us was expecting and hoping 508 00:22:22,390 --> 00:22:19,490 and it was very very powerful I 509 00:22:25,330 --> 00:22:22,400 continued the smoothing out motion and 510 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:25,340 he described the pain flowing out a hole 511 00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:27,770 in the bottom of his foot and I was very 512 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:30,860 excited until he said told me to stop he 513 00:22:34,030 --> 00:22:32,090 asked me to stop and I said why I 514 00:22:35,950 --> 00:22:34,040 thought it was helping you and he said 515 00:22:37,690 --> 00:22:35,960 well it is making the pain go away but 516 00:22:40,660 --> 00:22:37,700 that's a very uncomfortable feeling 517 00:22:44,350 --> 00:22:40,670 because without the pain I won't have a 518 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:44,360 leg and he was psychologically not ready 519 00:22:49,860 --> 00:22:46,850 to accept fully that he was an amputee 520 00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:49,870 so the pain was serving a very important 521 00:22:54,430 --> 00:22:52,310 existential function it overrode 522 00:22:56,260 --> 00:22:54,440 whatever physical discomfort he might 523 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:56,270 have had so in that that was like a 20 524 00:23:00,910 --> 00:22:58,010 minute session and it literally took me 525 00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:00,920 20 years to unpack all the things that 526 00:23:07,070 --> 00:23:01,320 happen 527 00:23:08,749 --> 00:23:07,080 it was so so rich so oh just to show you 528 00:23:11,509 --> 00:23:08,759 that therapeutic touch is not just a 529 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:11,519 placebo effect they've done studies with 530 00:23:18,529 --> 00:23:14,730 cell cells in culture in vitro - you 531 00:23:19,129 --> 00:23:18,539 know fibroblasts are not known for 532 00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:19,139 having a strong 533 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:22,529 recibo response to anything so the fact 534 00:23:25,789 --> 00:23:24,330 that you can and these are you know 535 00:23:28,610 --> 00:23:25,799 there are a lot of studies along these 536 00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:28,620 lines now build stuff with cancers in 537 00:23:33,470 --> 00:23:31,110 the same vein that it's an animal model 538 00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:33,480 so take away a lot of the psychological 539 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:36,809 variables that humans bring to the table 540 00:23:46,029 --> 00:23:38,730 so this is just this the summary of that 541 00:23:48,950 --> 00:23:46,039 case with Jim this it's a really good 542 00:23:50,659 --> 00:23:48,960 it's a really good embodiment of what 543 00:23:53,029 --> 00:23:50,669 could be possible unfortunately I only 544 00:23:56,060 --> 00:23:53,039 came across this picture and this idea 545 00:23:57,619 --> 00:23:56,070 after I had you know moved from the 546 00:24:02,570 --> 00:23:57,629 inpatient to outpatient and didn't have 547 00:24:04,879 --> 00:24:02,580 access to phantom patients but I they 548 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:04,889 could at least sense the opposite limbs 549 00:24:09,919 --> 00:24:07,129 I don't know what would happen if they 550 00:24:13,009 --> 00:24:09,929 it's worth it's worth worth following up 551 00:24:15,860 --> 00:24:13,019 on so therapeutic touches one way of 552 00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:15,870 treating it the other way is with energy 553 00:24:22,669 --> 00:24:19,769 psychology our folks here familiar with 554 00:24:26,210 --> 00:24:22,679 EFT or tapping or energy psychologists 555 00:24:28,159 --> 00:24:26,220 just yes so number and the notion is 556 00:24:31,369 --> 00:24:28,169 that you can activate your acupuncture 557 00:24:34,009 --> 00:24:31,379 points by tapping yourself and if you do 558 00:24:36,830 --> 00:24:34,019 that while you're considering unpleasant 559 00:24:41,389 --> 00:24:36,840 emotions and unpleasant situations in a 560 00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:41,399 frame of mind of self-acceptance you 561 00:24:47,690 --> 00:24:44,000 have that kind of release breath and 562 00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:47,700 it's built up a very considerable 563 00:24:51,409 --> 00:24:49,710 literature over the last 15 years or so 564 00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:51,419 especially with post-traumatic stress 565 00:24:57,180 --> 00:24:55,200 disorder so kind of aside I think it's 566 00:25:00,029 --> 00:24:57,190 the treatment of choice now for a pts 567 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:00,039 even though getting acceptance in the 568 00:25:06,139 --> 00:25:03,970 mainstream is taking a while but yeah I 569 00:25:09,539 --> 00:25:06,149 use this approach with some other 570 00:25:11,489 --> 00:25:09,549 phantom patients and let me show you one 571 00:25:13,499 --> 00:25:11,499 particular approach this is a woman who 572 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:13,509 had heard a finger at work and it got 573 00:25:18,180 --> 00:25:15,970 infected like cut and got infected and 574 00:25:20,849 --> 00:25:18,190 the abscess didn't respond to 575 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:20,859 antibiotics so she it was a bone 576 00:25:23,810 --> 00:25:22,690 infection so she ended up having her 577 00:25:26,849 --> 00:25:23,820 finger amputated 578 00:25:29,190 --> 00:25:26,859 however it wasn't all wrote better roses 579 00:25:31,109 --> 00:25:29,200 afterwards because she had so much vamos 580 00:25:33,629 --> 00:25:31,119 with the insurance company and denial of 581 00:25:35,729 --> 00:25:33,639 claims and case management plus it 582 00:25:38,369 --> 00:25:35,739 became painful to wear her prosthetic 583 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:38,379 finger because of the phantom pain she 584 00:25:41,580 --> 00:25:39,970 was ashamed about what the stuff looked 585 00:25:44,580 --> 00:25:41,590 like she didn't socialize 586 00:25:46,769 --> 00:25:44,590 so there's a whole downward spiral we 587 00:25:48,450 --> 00:25:46,779 did two sessions with this and it's 588 00:25:51,810 --> 00:25:48,460 really it's a very brief ten-minute 589 00:25:54,060 --> 00:25:51,820 process of even though I hate the way my 590 00:25:56,070 --> 00:25:54,070 stump looks and even though I'm angry at 591 00:25:57,930 --> 00:25:56,080 the case manager I accept myself fully 592 00:26:01,769 --> 00:25:57,940 and completely tap through them some 593 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:01,779 things very simple easy to learn so she 594 00:26:06,180 --> 00:26:04,690 did it twice and then excuse me the next 595 00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:06,190 time she came back got a very 596 00:26:09,599 --> 00:26:08,289 mischievous grin and she said dr. Les 597 00:26:15,659 --> 00:26:09,609 Corts I have something I want to show 598 00:26:18,029 --> 00:26:15,669 you she's able to wear her prosthetic 599 00:26:20,129 --> 00:26:18,039 finger that yeah in the course of those 600 00:26:23,369 --> 00:26:20,139 two as a result of those two treatments 601 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:23,379 her pain dissipated she was able to you 602 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:25,570 know put it back in place and she was 603 00:26:30,269 --> 00:26:28,090 able to resume socialization and do all 604 00:26:31,619 --> 00:26:30,279 all the things that made her life 605 00:26:34,229 --> 00:26:31,629 important it was just a very simple 606 00:26:36,810 --> 00:26:34,239 approach because you know honestly you 607 00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:36,820 don't expect a surgeon to ask about how 608 00:26:43,289 --> 00:26:39,609 emotionally upsetting it was to you know 609 00:26:45,450 --> 00:26:43,299 lose a limb in an accident or although 610 00:26:47,389 --> 00:26:45,460 sometimes a couple of examples they had 611 00:26:50,989 --> 00:26:47,399 patients went into surgery thinking 612 00:26:53,629 --> 00:26:50,999 but remove a diabetic gangrene and they 613 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:53,639 woke up to found their whole foot so the 614 00:26:58,430 --> 00:26:56,129 whole helplessness around that is a 615 00:27:02,209 --> 00:26:58,440 common feeling so these are some of the 616 00:27:03,589 --> 00:27:02,219 other kinds of traumas recorded by not 617 00:27:05,629 --> 00:27:03,599 just phantom limb patients I mean 618 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:05,639 obviously these are universal types of 619 00:27:09,619 --> 00:27:08,369 traumas but each phantom patient that 620 00:27:11,570 --> 00:27:09,629 the phantom limb patient that I work 621 00:27:15,129 --> 00:27:11,580 with had one of these to a significant 622 00:27:18,829 --> 00:27:15,139 degree a lot of it is about anger for 623 00:27:22,009 --> 00:27:18,839 doctors not helping or the accident 624 00:27:25,009 --> 00:27:22,019 itself often an adult minor 625 00:27:27,259 --> 00:27:25,019 adult injury will trigger similar but 626 00:27:28,820 --> 00:27:27,269 much more intense childhood memory and a 627 00:27:30,889 --> 00:27:28,830 lot of it is shame people are just 628 00:27:33,589 --> 00:27:30,899 ashamed of how of their appearance and 629 00:27:36,219 --> 00:27:33,599 it's hard to accept so that feeling of 630 00:27:38,659 --> 00:27:36,229 hopelessness is the common denominator 631 00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:38,669 this is a protocol for a study and I'm 632 00:27:44,959 --> 00:27:40,609 not showing it it's not a very 633 00:27:46,369 --> 00:27:44,969 incredibly elaborate or complicated one 634 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:46,379 but I'm telling you this because it got 635 00:27:50,899 --> 00:27:48,210 rejected twice through Harvard Medical 636 00:27:52,489 --> 00:27:50,909 School once was it was just to see 637 00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:52,499 whether you could demonstrate positive 638 00:27:56,329 --> 00:27:54,809 benefits from this tapping protocol the 639 00:28:00,320 --> 00:27:56,339 first time around it was rejected 640 00:28:01,579 --> 00:28:00,330 because there were too many factors to 641 00:28:03,529 --> 00:28:01,589 the treatment and it would be important 642 00:28:05,749 --> 00:28:03,539 to dismantle them to know which elements 643 00:28:07,820 --> 00:28:05,759 of treatment were important so I rewrote 644 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:07,830 it as a dismantling study and next year 645 00:28:11,810 --> 00:28:09,690 submitted again and that time it got 646 00:28:13,879 --> 00:28:11,820 rejected because we didn't know whether 647 00:28:15,349 --> 00:28:13,889 it was effective or not we needed to put 648 00:28:17,659 --> 00:28:15,359 all the elements together and do a 649 00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:17,669 proof-of-concept test study so I 650 00:28:23,089 --> 00:28:19,769 realized that was a catch-22 and I 651 00:28:25,579 --> 00:28:23,099 wasn't going out well so I didn't pursue 652 00:28:28,459 --> 00:28:25,589 that research but what really got me 653 00:28:30,829 --> 00:28:28,469 interested was the idea of imaging the 654 00:28:34,099 --> 00:28:30,839 phantom limb because pictures worth a 655 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:34,109 thousand words one image of a phantom in 656 00:28:37,879 --> 00:28:36,210 space you can't talk your way out of 657 00:28:40,549 --> 00:28:37,889 that one so there are a couple of 658 00:28:42,169 --> 00:28:40,559 different technologies and approaches 659 00:28:45,139 --> 00:28:42,179 they want to talk about in the last few 660 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:45,149 minutes here clairvoyant perception is 661 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:46,530 an important one 662 00:28:51,140 --> 00:28:48,810 you may know Donnie evening to work with 663 00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:51,150 Eden energy medicine has been really 664 00:28:56,090 --> 00:28:53,520 crucial and she can see energy fields 665 00:28:57,770 --> 00:28:56,100 much like we got who I was talking with 666 00:29:00,410 --> 00:28:57,780 the Chi Institute 667 00:29:02,390 --> 00:29:00,420 Rosalind Briere is the medical intuitive 668 00:29:04,490 --> 00:29:02,400 consultant there and she could see the 669 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:04,500 energy in the absent legs and she could 670 00:29:09,470 --> 00:29:07,170 see the meridian lines as strongly as it 671 00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:09,480 was legs are still there so you know if 672 00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:11,760 you work with someone and trust them 673 00:29:15,230 --> 00:29:13,200 that's impressive but if you're a 674 00:29:16,550 --> 00:29:15,240 skeptic it's still not there so what are 675 00:29:20,900 --> 00:29:16,560 some of the the gizmos that are 676 00:29:23,090 --> 00:29:20,910 available this is um this book was very 677 00:29:25,580 --> 00:29:23,100 important 25 years ago when it first 678 00:29:27,380 --> 00:29:25,590 came out and the cover is a Kirlian 679 00:29:29,810 --> 00:29:27,390 image people people know about curling 680 00:29:32,300 --> 00:29:29,820 photography that the bio field that 681 00:29:34,550 --> 00:29:32,310 exists around the healthy leaf so the 682 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:34,560 question was what would you predict 683 00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:37,410 would happen you chopped off the tip of 684 00:29:44,090 --> 00:29:40,640 the leaf with the field follow 685 00:29:47,210 --> 00:29:44,100 continuously to the tissue of the leaf 686 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:47,220 over something else and because this is 687 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:49,170 a savvy audience I'm not gonna surprise 688 00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:51,450 anybody oh well that's just how it's set 689 00:29:53,630 --> 00:29:51,600 up 690 00:29:56,660 --> 00:29:53,640 but um this is what this is what it 691 00:29:58,340 --> 00:29:56,670 looks like that some sort of field 692 00:30:01,310 --> 00:29:58,350 residue is still there even though 693 00:30:04,940 --> 00:30:01,320 there's no remaining tissue so it's not 694 00:30:06,470 --> 00:30:04,950 that the electromagnetic phenomena is 695 00:30:08,900 --> 00:30:06,480 generated by the water or the 696 00:30:11,450 --> 00:30:08,910 chlorophyll of cell membranes or 697 00:30:16,370 --> 00:30:11,460 something it's somehow separate and 698 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:16,380 possibly even prior to the cell itself 699 00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:18,690 this is that was a much earlier study 700 00:30:25,310 --> 00:30:21,710 this is a more recent one which has 701 00:30:27,050 --> 00:30:25,320 detail this is where the cut was made so 702 00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:27,060 there's no there's no leaf up there 703 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:29,760 it's the electromagnetic structure is 704 00:30:33,530 --> 00:30:31,770 just as detailed where there isn't a 705 00:30:35,690 --> 00:30:33,540 leaf as where there is leaf and this is 706 00:30:37,910 --> 00:30:35,700 just shortly after the cut it dissipates 707 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:37,920 with time some you know the the leaf 708 00:30:42,980 --> 00:30:40,530 isn't part of a living plant which is a 709 00:30:45,740 --> 00:30:42,990 whole other aspect of the experiment to 710 00:30:48,410 --> 00:30:45,750 test so you know how to understand that 711 00:30:50,420 --> 00:30:48,420 I think this this image is probably the 712 00:30:52,860 --> 00:30:50,430 best way you think of the cells of the 713 00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:52,870 body well you know this is the 714 00:30:57,630 --> 00:30:55,360 in a magnetic field that the cells in 715 00:31:00,690 --> 00:30:57,640 the body are like the iron filings in if 716 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:00,700 you brush away if you amputate the iron 717 00:31:05,130 --> 00:31:03,130 filings the magnetic lines of force was 718 00:31:06,930 --> 00:31:05,140 still there we happen not to be able to 719 00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:06,940 see them with our eyes but they can 720 00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:09,760 still be there and they can still do 721 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:13,510 their function so here's a bonus feature 722 00:31:20,670 --> 00:31:16,090 for tip from today's Lecter you know 723 00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:20,680 what that's an image of that's self set 724 00:31:25,650 --> 00:31:22,510 cell division mitosis it was a bit 725 00:31:27,990 --> 00:31:25,660 chromosomes from one cell splitting to 726 00:31:29,610 --> 00:31:28,000 form a second cell and the reason I'm 727 00:31:40,350 --> 00:31:29,620 showing you this is just look at the 728 00:31:43,169 --> 00:31:40,360 shape why I mean what what does why 729 00:31:44,340 --> 00:31:43,179 would each individual cell have its own 730 00:31:47,250 --> 00:31:44,350 magnetic field 731 00:31:50,130 --> 00:31:47,260 that seemingly is directing cell mitosis 732 00:31:52,650 --> 00:31:50,140 so I'm just tossing that out there if 733 00:31:55,710 --> 00:31:52,660 any of you're angling for a Nobel Prize 734 00:31:58,140 --> 00:31:55,720 there you go just just mention me in 735 00:31:59,970 --> 00:31:58,150 your acceptance speech no but there's 736 00:32:02,840 --> 00:31:59,980 something something significant in that 737 00:32:06,180 --> 00:32:02,850 image and I have not seen it addressed 738 00:32:09,210 --> 00:32:06,190 appropriately so just a quick survey of 739 00:32:13,110 --> 00:32:09,220 some of the attempts we've made to image 740 00:32:16,620 --> 00:32:13,120 the Fantom this is actually just a Xerox 741 00:32:19,230 --> 00:32:16,630 of my hand in this position because we 742 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:19,240 tried to take a curling image of a 743 00:32:24,060 --> 00:32:21,970 patient who is missing the distal joint 744 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:24,070 of his thumb so what you're gonna see as 745 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:27,570 the as the Kirlian image is in that same 746 00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:32,170 alignment this is a very cool looking 747 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:34,630 image but unfortunately his his finger 748 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:37,050 was the missing part was out here so 749 00:32:43,890 --> 00:32:40,090 this is just showing something around 750 00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:43,900 the living tissue the the acupuncture 751 00:32:48,419 --> 00:32:45,910 and curling photographer a person that I 752 00:32:52,919 --> 00:32:48,429 worked with Marni nazar some of you may 753 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:52,929 know her work thanks thought that it 754 00:32:57,540 --> 00:32:55,090 just required too much electrical 755 00:32:59,190 --> 00:32:57,550 intensity and overrode whatever field 756 00:32:59,640 --> 00:32:59,200 there might be so we're working on a 757 00:33:01,440 --> 00:32:59,650 reef 758 00:33:05,580 --> 00:33:01,450 with the Institute of frontier science 759 00:33:08,330 --> 00:33:05,590 people Beverly Rubik and her team gdv is 760 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:08,340 a way of assessing activity of 761 00:33:17,460 --> 00:33:12,130 acupuncture meridians in each finger and 762 00:33:18,990 --> 00:33:17,470 it construct the software construct what 763 00:33:21,390 --> 00:33:19,000 the bio field looks like this is a 764 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:21,400 person who's missing a leg and the field 765 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:23,410 looks the same but it's not it's not a 766 00:33:28,290 --> 00:33:25,690 direct image so it's not quite what we 767 00:33:31,770 --> 00:33:28,300 were hoping for so we turn to england 768 00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:31,780 and p IP probably contrast interference 769 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:34,510 photography this is an image of a holy 770 00:33:39,510 --> 00:33:37,210 man that supposedly shows his spreading 771 00:33:41,910 --> 00:33:39,520 aura and on their their website they had 772 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:41,920 a picture of using that approach with 773 00:33:51,930 --> 00:33:48,250 someone with i can't really tell they 774 00:33:53,820 --> 00:33:51,940 had him tilt sideways and they claimed 775 00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:53,830 this shows the phantom limb 776 00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:55,510 i wasn't convinced so I worked with 777 00:34:02,550 --> 00:33:58,690 Center for bio field research in India 778 00:34:04,620 --> 00:34:02,560 and gathered a fair number of subjects 779 00:34:07,350 --> 00:34:04,630 and positioned them you know in a 780 00:34:09,630 --> 00:34:07,360 sensible way so the arm or the leg is 781 00:34:11,940 --> 00:34:09,640 away from the body and this is what it 782 00:34:14,389 --> 00:34:11,950 looks like there's there's nothing out 783 00:34:18,659 --> 00:34:14,399 there so they have to acknowledge that 784 00:34:20,940 --> 00:34:18,669 their device isn't yet able to to sense 785 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:20,950 that to detect the phantom so as things 786 00:34:26,580 --> 00:34:24,490 stand now there is not an analogue to 787 00:34:30,030 --> 00:34:26,590 the phantom leaf effect we don't have a 788 00:34:31,740 --> 00:34:30,040 clear image of a phantom human but those 789 00:34:33,810 --> 00:34:31,750 are the directions that we're working on 790 00:34:35,790 --> 00:34:33,820 and I think it's really important to 791 00:34:37,710 --> 00:34:35,800 understand the trauma links because 792 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:37,720 energy and trauma are so closely 793 00:34:43,050 --> 00:34:40,810 connected and it goes back to a 794 00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:43,060 traditional Chinese medicine that the 795 00:34:47,340 --> 00:34:45,250 mind directs the energy and the 796 00:34:49,530 --> 00:34:47,350 emotional and emotions can block the 797 00:34:52,350 --> 00:34:49,540 energy flow and that will impact your 798 00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:52,360 physiology so the key finding is that 799 00:34:57,330 --> 00:34:54,060 some of these energy treatments 800 00:35:01,710 --> 00:34:57,340 dissipate the pain too quickly to be 801 00:35:03,570 --> 00:35:01,720 result of neuroplasticity and that 802 00:35:07,380 --> 00:35:03,580 there's something energetic that happens 803 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:07,390 first and the brain follows suit you 804 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:09,130 don't have all those steps mapped out 805 00:35:11,910 --> 00:35:09,970 yet 806 00:35:14,250 --> 00:35:11,920 but we have a ways to go if you want to 807 00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:14,260 read more detail about fleshing out this 808 00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:17,310 model that's a good one 809 00:35:22,740 --> 00:35:19,390 blasting out this model I mean you know 810 00:35:25,130 --> 00:35:22,750 the inner mind is pretty pretty funny 811 00:35:28,650 --> 00:35:25,140 attempt this is this is available from 812 00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:28,660 Explorer the Journal of healing and 813 00:35:33,390 --> 00:35:30,910 consciousness and just want to say that 814 00:35:35,330 --> 00:35:33,400 doing work like we're doing here in this 815 00:35:38,190 --> 00:35:35,340 conference feels like that this medieval 816 00:35:40,109 --> 00:35:38,200 Shepherd who's wandered a little bit far 817 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:40,119 afield the point where he's broken 818 00:35:46,170 --> 00:35:43,330 through you know the barriers of reality 819 00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:46,180 as he knows it and is now able to watch 820 00:35:50,220 --> 00:35:48,400 and listen to the music of his fears and 821 00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:50,230 I think that's what these conferences do 822 00:35:54,930 --> 00:35:51,760 they allow us to kind of break break 823 00:35:57,150 --> 00:35:54,940 through the paradigm in' and in a shared 824 00:35:58,890 --> 00:35:57,160 aesthetic not just not just imagine what 825 00:36:00,870 --> 00:35:58,900 he's gonna encounter when he goes back 826 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:00,880 down to the village but if you meet up 827 00:36:04,650 --> 00:36:02,890 with other shepherds who cooked through 828 00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:04,660 that veil then then some cool stuff 829 00:36:07,740 --> 00:36:06,730 happens so those are the main points I 830 00:36:08,780 --> 00:36:07,750 want to make thank you for your 831 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:08,790 attention 832 00:36:21,990 --> 00:36:18,310 a few years ago I had one of the big 833 00:36:27,310 --> 00:36:22,000 early programs to electrically stimulate 834 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:27,320 paraplegics the stand and walk and of 835 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:29,890 course they had no motor function and 836 00:36:35,530 --> 00:36:33,050 they had very little or zero sensory 837 00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:35,540 function because the Mont electrical 838 00:36:42,010 --> 00:36:38,240 energy used for able-bodied person could 839 00:36:45,430 --> 00:36:42,020 never stand the pain but I required them 840 00:36:47,980 --> 00:36:45,440 to have proprioception meaning you know 841 00:36:50,530 --> 00:36:47,990 propria chefs they had to know in space 842 00:36:52,390 --> 00:36:50,540 where the limbs were was an open-loop 843 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:52,400 program so that I could be successful 844 00:36:58,560 --> 00:36:54,890 they had to know where the limbs were in 845 00:37:02,470 --> 00:36:58,570 space yes spinal cord injured 846 00:37:04,990 --> 00:37:02,480 paraplegics and a number of patients I 847 00:37:07,750 --> 00:37:05,000 never rejected a person they all have 848 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:07,760 proprioception even though they didn't 849 00:37:11,830 --> 00:37:09,290 have I know they didn't have little 850 00:37:14,860 --> 00:37:11,840 sensory because they couldn't stand the 851 00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:14,870 pain that is anybody looked that you 852 00:37:18,220 --> 00:37:16,310 know I just thought well there must be 853 00:37:20,260 --> 00:37:18,230 some separate nerve path that they 854 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:20,270 didn't have but what your uncle suggests 855 00:37:24,970 --> 00:37:22,490 that there may be something else that 856 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:24,980 gives them the proprioception clue I 857 00:37:29,140 --> 00:37:27,050 think that's an energetic sensation that 858 00:37:30,550 --> 00:37:29,150 they're experiencing and the example 859 00:37:34,330 --> 00:37:30,560 that comes to mind is there's a yoga 860 00:37:37,450 --> 00:37:34,340 instructor from Minnesota who himself is 861 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:37,460 pathologic and got into yoga as part of 862 00:37:41,910 --> 00:37:39,290 his recovery process he's still 863 00:37:44,230 --> 00:37:41,920 paralyzed but he's developed such fine 864 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:44,240 sensitivity to what goes on that he 865 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:46,130 feels this sense of presence he calls it 866 00:37:49,750 --> 00:37:47,810 he feels presence in the rest of his 867 00:37:52,420 --> 00:37:49,760 body so that's what he trains his 868 00:37:54,190 --> 00:37:52,430 patients to do is to to feel and be with 869 00:37:56,110 --> 00:37:54,200 their body so that it's not just you 870 00:37:57,940 --> 00:37:56,120 know dragging along and chunk of wood 871 00:37:59,710 --> 00:37:57,950 kind of thing and so it's exactly that 872 00:38:06,310 --> 00:37:59,720 that proprioceptive sense so I think 873 00:38:08,770 --> 00:38:06,320 that's energetic rather than Erich 874 00:38:10,570 --> 00:38:08,780 quickly it done on me in seeing some of 875 00:38:12,970 --> 00:38:10,580 your imagery of beliefs and stuff there 876 00:38:15,130 --> 00:38:12,980 was a guy George de la loire who did 877 00:38:15,410 --> 00:38:15,140 some pictures I think radionics pictures 878 00:38:17,690 --> 00:38:15,420 that 879 00:38:20,990 --> 00:38:17,700 quite remember how it was but what 880 00:38:23,390 --> 00:38:21,000 struck me is when the pictures were best 881 00:38:27,770 --> 00:38:23,400 focused it was a time thing so if you 882 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:27,780 imagine just like tuning a lens and I 883 00:38:33,349 --> 00:38:30,690 forget exactly what the point was but 884 00:38:35,839 --> 00:38:33,359 that there was a moment in time when it 885 00:38:37,730 --> 00:38:35,849 was most in focus and the other images 886 00:38:41,299 --> 00:38:37,740 when they weren't synchronized with time 887 00:38:44,030 --> 00:38:41,309 correctly were just more out of focus 888 00:38:46,069 --> 00:38:44,040 but they were not non-existent yeah well 889 00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:46,079 there are a lot of variables involved 890 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:47,730 and that's why for example the phantom 891 00:38:51,740 --> 00:38:49,890 leaf suspect it depends on the 892 00:38:53,559 --> 00:38:51,750 photographer some people had a knack for 893 00:38:56,270 --> 00:38:53,569 getting those images and others couldn't 894 00:38:58,520 --> 00:38:56,280 one theory is that there was active it's 895 00:39:01,579 --> 00:38:58,530 an interactive process but it's not just 896 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:01,589 a leaf there on a operator here that if 897 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:03,210 there's an energetic connection it so 898 00:39:08,030 --> 00:39:05,490 that activates the leaf to show its 899 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:08,040 field more directly so might have been 900 00:39:15,049 --> 00:39:09,890 the same with the the radionics 901 00:39:17,049 --> 00:39:15,059 situation I can't give me the author's 902 00:39:19,730 --> 00:39:17,059 name but I'm sure you're familiar with 903 00:39:22,309 --> 00:39:19,740 there's been several rubber hand 904 00:39:25,609 --> 00:39:22,319 illusion studies and and one in 905 00:39:27,890 --> 00:39:25,619 particular I read was that when the 906 00:39:29,930 --> 00:39:27,900 person is experiencing that out of phase 907 00:39:31,370 --> 00:39:29,940 or disc coincidence where their hand is 908 00:39:34,099 --> 00:39:31,380 kind of mapping onto the rubber hand 909 00:39:37,220 --> 00:39:34,109 that the actual physical temperature in 910 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:37,230 their actual hand drops by about a 911 00:39:43,190 --> 00:39:41,010 degree or so and which is a huge amount 912 00:39:46,010 --> 00:39:43,200 right and so I think what's really 913 00:39:47,839 --> 00:39:46,020 interesting is that you know we we know 914 00:39:50,390 --> 00:39:47,849 this subjectively or anecdotally through 915 00:39:52,490 --> 00:39:50,400 out-of-body experience that you know 916 00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:52,500 there's there's ways to get out of phase 917 00:39:55,609 --> 00:39:53,730 or just coincidence with the physical 918 00:39:57,650 --> 00:39:55,619 body without you know have necessarily 919 00:40:01,299 --> 00:39:57,660 have the trauma so I think be 920 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:01,309 interesting even with a non you know 921 00:40:06,500 --> 00:40:03,210 seven limb case where you could actually 922 00:40:08,630 --> 00:40:06,510 see if you can no photograph the the 923 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:08,640 rubber hand or you know try to even have 924 00:40:13,039 --> 00:40:10,650 someone just reproduce something that's 925 00:40:14,930 --> 00:40:13,049 slightly out of disc coincidence but as 926 00:40:16,609 --> 00:40:14,940 a follow-up to that I think it's kind of 927 00:40:18,620 --> 00:40:16,619 interesting though is that when people 928 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:18,630 do experience you know I'm gonna call 929 00:40:23,069 --> 00:40:20,170 Asheville travel 930 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:23,079 whatever there you know those veridical 931 00:40:28,079 --> 00:40:24,970 elements you can could be somewhere and 932 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:28,089 that's the things but we still bring her 933 00:40:32,220 --> 00:40:30,130 clothes with us right you subjectively 934 00:40:33,630 --> 00:40:32,230 see yourself with clothes if you go and 935 00:40:35,099 --> 00:40:33,640 you meet outside of the body your 936 00:40:37,049 --> 00:40:35,109 colleagues or whatever they're gonna be 937 00:40:39,059 --> 00:40:37,059 wearing clothes so so what is that it's 938 00:40:42,150 --> 00:40:39,069 like there's something that it's part of 939 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:42,160 it points to this idea of a actual 940 00:40:46,260 --> 00:40:44,770 mediating body that's generating this 941 00:40:48,180 --> 00:40:46,270 energetic field that you're seeing is 942 00:40:49,799 --> 00:40:48,190 the aura it was like maybe like a pair 943 00:40:51,809 --> 00:40:49,809 of body or psycho soma or what have you 944 00:40:54,059 --> 00:40:51,819 but then part of it seems like we bring 945 00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:54,069 our conditioned elements with it so 946 00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:55,510 there's like this you know what's really 947 00:40:59,460 --> 00:40:57,250 generating what's the over body that's 948 00:41:02,430 --> 00:40:59,470 generating this construction of the you 949 00:41:04,289 --> 00:41:02,440 know yeah again these phenomena are 950 00:41:06,780 --> 00:41:04,299 generated so many different levels it's 951 00:41:08,819 --> 00:41:06,790 they're all they all play a role for 952 00:41:10,559 --> 00:41:08,829 example with with phantom limb sometimes 953 00:41:13,260 --> 00:41:10,569 if the pain isn't there and there's the 954 00:41:15,839 --> 00:41:13,270 presence over time it retracts and 955 00:41:17,370 --> 00:41:15,849 absorb resorbs into the body and there's 956 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:17,380 no longer that sense there and I'm sure 957 00:41:22,319 --> 00:41:20,650 that that reflects some measurable 958 00:41:24,059 --> 00:41:22,329 change in the external and you should 959 00:41:26,339 --> 00:41:24,069 talk to people like Jim Tucker looking 960 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:26,349 at the you know kids that have the 961 00:41:32,579 --> 00:41:30,490 experience last they have the scars and 962 00:41:34,410 --> 00:41:32,589 everything from the from the energetic 963 00:41:36,450 --> 00:41:34,420 body damage cell right right so which 964 00:41:43,130 --> 00:41:36,460 which level of that multi-dimensional
