Shownotes

The definition of insanity is the state of unmanaged emotions. The definition of sanity is a poised, governed mind. The higher the volatility of the emotions, the more out of governance you are and the more animalistic and less humanistic by nature. If you'd love to learn the art of balancing your emotions in order to access the powerful governed mind, where you turn your distress into eustress, emotions into gratitude, then this episode is for you.

Transcripts

Speaker:

In that state, we're not seeking or avoiding.

Speaker:

We're not letting the extrinsic world run us. We're centered, we're poised,

Speaker:

we're present, we're purposeful.

Speaker:

Living with a governed,

Speaker:

self governance type of state of mind vs letting yourself get

Speaker:

irrationally unstable with wild, impulsive,

Speaker:

and instinctual emotions and what makes the difference.

Speaker:

So I'm going to elaborate on that.

Speaker:

In the Breakthrough Experience program that I've been teaching now for over 30,

Speaker:

almost two years,

Speaker:

I make a distinction primarily from the extractive readings

Speaker:

from Immanuel Kant, who's the German philosopher,

Speaker:

of a transcendent state of mind and a immanent

Speaker:

state of mind.

Speaker:

A transcendent state of mind is when you have transcended the outer

Speaker:

emotional reactions and the immanent state of mind is when you are,

Speaker:

you might say succumbing to them,

Speaker:

you're letting the world around you run you extrinsically vs the transcendental

Speaker:

is where you're letting yourself be guided from within with governance,

Speaker:

more intrinsically driven.

Speaker:

I said in 'The Secret' movie many years ago that when the voice and the vision

Speaker:

on the inside is louder than all opinions on the outside,

Speaker:

you begin to master your life.

Speaker:

That means that you're intrinsically driven and focused instead of

Speaker:

externally reactive. Now,

Speaker:

you're not going to completely rid yourself of those

Speaker:

they're essential. They're feedback systems. In other words,

Speaker:

the second you know something, you go on to the next unknown.

Speaker:

And when you know something

Speaker:

you transcend it and you go onto something you don't know.

Speaker:

And there's an infinitude to that, no matter what you know,

Speaker:

there's always something more, whatever you have achieved,

Speaker:

there's always something you can do more of, so there's an infinitude to that.

Speaker:

An infinite quest.

Speaker:

Now let me define an emotion first of all,

Speaker:

and instability.

Speaker:

An emotion is an attraction or repulsion,

Speaker:

a seeking or avoiding,

Speaker:

an impulse or an instinct toward or away from something

Speaker:

that you perceive to provide you in the future,

Speaker:

more positives than negatives or more negatives than positives.

Speaker:

Let me elaborate on that.

Speaker:

When you are faced with an experience, an event,

Speaker:

you will probably evaluate it, which means to project your values,

Speaker:

your values onto it.

Speaker:

And if you perceive whatever's going on as more

Speaker:

supportive than challenging to yourself,

Speaker:

you'll probably activate your parasympathetic nervous system.

Speaker:

You'll activate this elation in your epigenetics,

Speaker:

and you'll create physiological and psychological motor responses

Speaker:

to seek it out,

Speaker:

to engulf it because you'll associate it as supportive

Speaker:

and prey like, and you'll tend to want to consume it and take it in,

Speaker:

and you'll have an impulse towards it.

Speaker:

And in some cases if the ratios of your perception are extremely high and

Speaker:

supportive in nature, you'll be addicted to it,

Speaker:

literally driven to it, compulsively, impulsively, where you can't even stop,

Speaker:

you've got to have it. You get so subjectively biased towards it,

Speaker:

you just can't be without it. At the same time,

Speaker:

you could also perceive things more challenging than supportive,

Speaker:

more negatives than positives, and you could have the opposite response.

Speaker:

An instinctual response to avoid it and to get away from it and repel

Speaker:

from it. And you could get that to extreme where you've got to get away from it.

Speaker:

I think almost everyone here has had one of those incredible infatuations or

Speaker:

incredible resentments to something or somebody. Now,

Speaker:

this state leaves you with a blood glucose and

Speaker:

oxygen response into your amygdala, which is the desire center,

Speaker:

which is a subcortical area of the brain, a lower,

Speaker:

I won't say more primitive because other species below us have it, and

Speaker:

they also have an advanced part of the brain, but it's less mastered,

Speaker:

let's put it that way, and more extrinsically driven.

Speaker:

And it's there for emergencies, it's there for survival, not thrival.

Speaker:

And so we need that when we are under the perception,

Speaker:

if we perceive something extremely positive or negative,

Speaker:

we're going to activate that area of the brain as a response,

Speaker:

as a survival response. That's not bad.

Speaker:

It's there for us, if a car's about to run us over, it gets us out of the way.

Speaker:

If a lion's about to chase us and eat us,

Speaker:

it makes us run and climb a tree in a way we didn't know we could do.

Speaker:

But this is the extrinsically,

Speaker:

emotional center. Emotions are, again,

Speaker:

motive towards or away.

Speaker:

And they are sensory base,

Speaker:

that means some sort of perception is imbalanced because you have an imbalanced

Speaker:

perspective.

Speaker:

When you're infatuated with something you're conscious of the upsides,

Speaker:

unconscious of the downsides, conscious of the positives,

Speaker:

unconscious of the negatives. You have a confirmation bias on the positives,

Speaker:

a disconfirmation bias on the negatives.

Speaker:

You have a false positive on the positives and a false negative on the negatives

Speaker:

in the language. And you have a desire to seek it,

Speaker:

in your desire center. And when you do,

Speaker:

you are not seeing both sides of it.

Speaker:

You're ignor-ant and unconscious of the downsides. So you really don't know it,

Speaker:

just like you infatuate with somebody you really don't know them yet.

Speaker:

You're just blinded to the downsides and drawn to them and they're running you.

Speaker:

And you have in a sense an uncertainty,

Speaker:

because you don't really know all the parts and your intuition is trying to

Speaker:

whisper the downsides,

Speaker:

but you're ignoring it because of the high polarity of perception and the

Speaker:

fantasy that you can concoct.

Speaker:

And you activate dopamine and oxytocin.

Speaker:

Dopamine is sort of like the addicting compound,

Speaker:

oxytocin and vasopressin are like the bonding and trust compounds,

Speaker:

endorphins and enkephalins are like the pleasure compounds,

Speaker:

serotonin and estrogen are like the nurturing, well,

Speaker:

it's like the fantasy and nurturing compounds.

Speaker:

And so you create this fantasy and you look into the future and you see more

Speaker:

positives than negatives, and you've got to have it, and it's prey,

Speaker:

you want to eat it. Just like you're infatuated,

Speaker:

you almost want to consume them. And consumption, shopping is part of that.

Speaker:

You have this fantasy that there's going to give you more advantage than

Speaker:

disadvantage. Anytime you perceive more advantage than disadvantage,

Speaker:

you wake up the impulsive part that's attracted. Now,

Speaker:

in fact, you've looked back at your life and you've been infatuated with people,

Speaker:

but days, weeks, or months,

Speaker:

you start to wane on that and you start to see both sides of them,

Speaker:

you start a little bit of withdrawal from them, they're less attractive,

Speaker:

and you end up grounding yourself and getting yourself back into a balance.

Speaker:

And you have a hedonic adaptation,

Speaker:

which is an adaptation to things you're hedonistically pursuing like that,

Speaker:

that calms it down and calms down your emotions over time and strengthens your

Speaker:

intuition,

Speaker:

because your intuition is always trying to reveal to you the parts you're

Speaker:

unconscious of,

Speaker:

so you have a balanced orientation to liberate yourself from the attachment,

Speaker:

because anything that you infatuate with will occupy space and time your mind

Speaker:

and run you. And we've all been infatuated, incredibly infatuated,

Speaker:

where you could hardly sleep at night,

Speaker:

because you're just running around and regurgitating this idea and fantasy in

Speaker:

your mind that you're attracted to. When you're resentful,

Speaker:

the same thing in reverse occurs on the opposite pole. And it is a pole,

Speaker:

like a magnetic pole.

Speaker:

You're now perceiving consciously the downsides and

Speaker:

unconscious of the upsides. You have a confirmation bias on the downs.

Speaker:

You have a disconfirmation bias on the ups.

Speaker:

You have a false positive on the negatives and a false negative on the

Speaker:

positives.

Speaker:

And you're subjectively biased away from it with an instinct to avoid.

Speaker:

And now you've got to get away from them and you're ignorant of the upsides.

Speaker:

And so they're or it is running you and you couldn't go to sleep at night and

Speaker:

you can't get out of your mind cause you're so resentful, you can hardly sleep.

Speaker:

So that means you have instability because of an imbalanced perspective.

Speaker:

So I want the first principle to be understood,

Speaker:

that anytime you have a ratio of perceptions that are imbalanced,

Speaker:

where more positives or more negatives are dominating,

Speaker:

and the more negatives or more positives are recessive,

Speaker:

the second you have an imbalanced, irrational state,

Speaker:

ratio of one-to-one is rational, a ratio of 7-1 or 1-7,

Speaker:

positive to negative are irrational and they're emotional and

Speaker:

emotions are a result of these misperceptions,

Speaker:

these biases,

Speaker:

which are called subjective biases and they're feedback mechanisms to let you

Speaker:

know that you don't see things as they actually are,

Speaker:

you see things as you hallucinate from previous

Speaker:

experience stored in your subconscious mind,

Speaker:

that's added to the actual perception, the receptions,

Speaker:

and integrating into perceptions that are skewed subjectively,

Speaker:

and they're letting you know that you're not seeing the whole,

Speaker:

you're seeing the parts that are fragmented and irrational and incomplete.

Speaker:

And therefore you result inside you with an uncertainty and a defense mechanism

Speaker:

to justify your bias.

Speaker:

So anytime you see something and you confront somebody that's highly bias,

Speaker:

you'll see that they defend themselves.

Speaker:

And the defense is a result of their uncertainty.

Speaker:

And anytime you have an imbalanced ratio of perceptions, you have uncertainty,

Speaker:

instability, volatility. Now,

Speaker:

you've probably heard of the term,

Speaker:

the facial muscles of emotional expression or the muscles of

Speaker:

emotional expression, facial expression, and you know,

Speaker:

happy and sorrow and disgust and these kinds of things,

Speaker:

and many scientists or psychologists have tried to say that there's only six

Speaker:

or eight emotions, and that's ludicrous.

Speaker:

I'm amazed that they've tried to narrow it down to just a few.

Speaker:

Every ratio of perception has a different emotion.

Speaker:

Every ratio of perception has a different emotion.

Speaker:

And you can be compounding your perceptions at any moment and have an

Speaker:

assortment of overlapping emotions.

Speaker:

So all the variations of secondary emotions that the

Speaker:

categorize these things, which are partly ludicrous and arbitrary,

Speaker:

and they've never had an exact science out of it because it's very biased,

Speaker:

what happens is all of those emotions are nothing more than the compounding of

Speaker:

overlapping ratios of perceptions in that moment and the

Speaker:

associations that are being brought to the receptive

Speaker:

input, all by the subconscious mind,

Speaker:

that's coming in and associating all previous experiences with these

Speaker:

perceptions.

Speaker:

And those overall ratios are giving you the response and those responses will

Speaker:

cause, first from the summation into the brain,

Speaker:

you'll create a neuro associative complex in the brain,

Speaker:

that's what they call it,

Speaker:

that will cause facilitation inhibition of various parts of the brain,

Speaker:

which are through associative areas from previous subconsciously stored

Speaker:

information,

Speaker:

will then cause the motor response in the front part of the brain to be

Speaker:

activated, to create an emotional reaction, a response,

Speaker:

a stimulus response response,

Speaker:

based on all the subconsciously stored information.

Speaker:

So that means you could have a stimulus,

Speaker:

let's say you met somebody that you didn't have a greatest experience with,

Speaker:

it was quite painful, in your mind.

Speaker:

And now somebody comes along and reminds you of any aspect of them,

Speaker:

their facial expressions, their mannerisms,

Speaker:

what they were dressed like or anything that's associated with it,

Speaker:

it could trigger a distrust,

Speaker:

it could trigger an emotional response of avoidance, 'I

Speaker:

don't feel this is great vibes',

Speaker:

and you'll come up with those things from previous subconsciously stored

Speaker:

information.

Speaker:

And anything that you have imbalanced in your perception that you've got

Speaker:

conscious and unconscious splits will be stored in the subconscious mind,

Speaker:

which will be left in electronics and molecular imbalances in neurochemistry,

Speaker:

and will be stored in there reverberating in circuits in the brain that cause

Speaker:

all this noise in the brain. When you're in meditation,

Speaker:

you'll know that your brain has got all this noise when it starts.

Speaker:

And all that noise is nothing but the subconsciously stored imbalanced

Speaker:

perceptions that you have that are now being associated with all the

Speaker:

newest input that's coming in at that moment, unless you close your eyes,

Speaker:

close your senses off, and it's causing these reverberations in the brain,

Speaker:

all this noise, and sometimes in meditation that takes 15,

Speaker:

20 minutes for some people to calm that down and override that and go into a

Speaker:

metacognitive state and transcend that.

Speaker:

But that's where most people live and most people are associated with it.

Speaker:

That's one of the reasons I created the Demartini Method that I present in the

Speaker:

Breakthrough Experience, to assist people in sorting through like a disk scan,

Speaker:

sorting through all those cognitive fragments,

Speaker:

those imbalanced perceptions that lead to uncertainties and unclarities and

Speaker:

cloudiness of mind and uncertainty about your mission in life,

Speaker:

and sort through it and ask quality questions that hold

Speaker:

your mind back into balance, to have a rational mind. And the moment you do,

Speaker:

you enter into a secondary state called the transcendent mind.

Speaker:

The transcendent mind is only awakened, and I say only awakened,

Speaker:

and most people don't even know it exists and don't even know how to access it,

Speaker:

when you have a perfectly balanced mind.

Speaker:

So as long as you have a irrational mind, an unstable mind,

Speaker:

an uncertain mind,

Speaker:

and you're vacillating with the vicissitudes of these polarities,

Speaker:

you don't have the transcendent mind.

Speaker:

The transcendent mind only comes awakened when you have a perfectly balanced

Speaker:

mind, and the positives and negatives, the supportive and challenging,

Speaker:

the polarities are synchronously synthesized.

Speaker:

As the dialectic by Zeno and Hegel talked about taking a thesis and antithesis,

Speaker:

a proposition and an anti proposition and merging together at the same

Speaker:

moment, Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli talked about it in their work on acausal

Speaker:

synchronicities,

Speaker:

where you actually have a synthesis and synchronicity of these complimentary

Speaker:

opposite perceptions and the ratios are brought back into equanimity,

Speaker:

a perfectly balanced objective mind, the transcendental mind is awakened.

Speaker:

Now Immanuel Kant said that there's no way we can live in there,

Speaker:

we live with our subjective biases most of the time,

Speaker:

most neuroscientists don't believe we can ever get past the subjective

Speaker:

experiences, but I found a way of doing that,

Speaker:

I teach it in the Breakthrough Experience and I give it to you in the Demartini

Speaker:

Method. There is now a science, reproducible, duplicatable

Speaker:

but it's a cognitive science and I made it a cognitive science because I wanted

Speaker:

it to be reproducible, duplicatable that any human being can do.

Speaker:

And it's not that difficult,

Speaker:

little children do it and adults do it and elderly people do it,

Speaker:

so age is not a factor.

Speaker:

It's simply our tendency to want to hold onto our opinion of being

Speaker:

right that makes it difficult.

Speaker:

And that's what blocks us because being right is automatically going into a

Speaker:

pride and trying to avoid a shame mechanism.

Speaker:

That's where we show off our face when we're proud and we hide our face when

Speaker:

we're shame. And that is our animal nature.

Speaker:

And our animal nature interferes with this transcendent state.

Speaker:

This metacognitive state is available only if we can transcend these

Speaker:

ratios of perceptions.

Speaker:

And so the quality of our life is based on the quality of the questions we ask

Speaker:

and our job is to bring self-governance to our state,

Speaker:

where we can see things as they are, actuality,

Speaker:

self-actualization as Maslow would describe.

Speaker:

And the moment we see things from a balanced perspective

Speaker:

to be strengthened,

Speaker:

which our intuition is constantly trying to reveal the unconscious to make us

Speaker:

fully conscious, it's trying to take the ignorant part and make it wise.

Speaker:

And make us fully aware,

Speaker:

so we're not having this bias and we're not seeing false positives and

Speaker:

negatives. We're seeing both sides. We don't have survival,

Speaker:

we have thrival, we're not in the desire center in the amygdala,

Speaker:

we're now in the executive function of the prefrontal cortex,

Speaker:

the telencephalon. The telencephalon is the end in the brain,

Speaker:

just like the telos is the end in mind.

Speaker:

And it's where we activate the most amazing parts of our mind.

Speaker:

This is where inspired states occur. This is when true love, not infatuation,

Speaker:

occur. This is where grace or true gratitude, not false gratitude, 'Oh,

Speaker:

thank you for supporting me.' This is where we are enthused,

Speaker:

where we have the God within, if you will, the divine experience,

Speaker:

that's transcendent within,

Speaker:

this is where we transcend mediocrity and go on to extraordinary.

Speaker:

This is where innovation occurs, creative thinking,

Speaker:

unborrowed vision occurs. This is where we're inspired.

Speaker:

This is where we actually have the most certainty and the most presence.

Speaker:

Only in a perfectly equilibrated mind can we have certainty,

Speaker:

otherwise we have uncertainty and volatilities.

Speaker:

I've demonstrated this in a hundred thousand people over the years,

Speaker:

and I'm certain about this state, we can access it.

Speaker:

And it's all based on the quality of the questions we ask.

Speaker:

Our questions in life are make us aware of things we're ignorant of.

Speaker:

If I asked you,

Speaker:

what's the benefit of something happened and you don't see the benefit,

Speaker:

if I hold you accountable to answer that question and look for the benefit you

Speaker:

will discover it. Because there is no one-sided event, that's no benefits,

Speaker:

there's always a benefit to whatever, you can extract a benefit out of anything,

Speaker:

it's just about how you ask the question.

Speaker:

If you ask the question and answer the question,

Speaker:

you can see both sides of things and the moment they equilibrate,

Speaker:

then they're perfectly balanced at the same moment

Speaker:

and you're aware of both the positives and negatives,

Speaker:

the supportive and challenging, the kind and the cruel, the nice and the mean,

Speaker:

whatever the polarities are, the

Speaker:

synthesis and synchronicity of any complimentary opposite awakens the

Speaker:

transcendental mind. And the transcendental mind,

Speaker:

which is the area of the prefrontal cortex activation,

Speaker:

this is the governor,

Speaker:

this is the one that actually sends signals down to the nucleus accumbens and

Speaker:

the pallidum of the amygdala and calm down the

Speaker:

extrinsic stimuli and neutralize it with facilitory

Speaker:

glutamate and GABA inhibitor transmitters,

Speaker:

and it calms it down and allows you not to be in survival,

Speaker:

but to be in thrival and living an inspired,

Speaker:

focused, enthused, grateful, loving, certain, and present life,

Speaker:

which I call the transcendental feelings, are not emotions.

Speaker:

Emotions are polarized and the transcendental feelings are synthesized.

Speaker:

They're both mental states. One's a lower mental state, as William James said,

Speaker:

one's a higher mental state,

Speaker:

or one's called the amygdala and the other one's the prefrontal cortical area,

Speaker:

or one's called the reflexive mind, which is like an animal,

Speaker:

and the other one is a reflective, conscious mind,

Speaker:

a super conscious mind and the subconscious,

Speaker:

the immanent mind is the subconscious state where we store all of our emotions

Speaker:

and all of our conscious and unconscious splits in our polarities,

Speaker:

which run most people.

Speaker:

And then there's the transcendent mind where we actually have the capacity to

Speaker:

synthesize and store in our superconscious mind, sometimes called our soul,

Speaker:

the state of unconditional love,

Speaker:

we store those moments of grace that we have that allow us to do

Speaker:

extraordinary things, supermundane things.

Speaker:

And this is where the genius is awakened. And

Speaker:

it correlates with our values, our values, when we live by our highest value,

Speaker:

we have a higher objectivity, we have more neutrality, we're more resilient,

Speaker:

adaptable, we're more balanced in our orientation, more reasonable in our focus,

Speaker:

have the logos in a sense of our awareness and we now awaken our

Speaker:

magnificence instead of our insignificance.

Speaker:

Because as long as we're run from the external world and we're infatuated or

Speaker:

resentful and they're occupying space and time in our mind,

Speaker:

we're an automaton reacting to misperceptions that are

Speaker:

holding us in a bondage to what we are infatuated or resentful to.

Speaker:

We're living in bondage . We don't have moksha, liberation, Satori, illumination

Speaker:

and enlightenment,

Speaker:

until we actually balance out our perceptions and liberate ourselves.

Speaker:

That's why the Buddha says,

Speaker:

the desire for that which is unavailable and the desire to avoid that which is

Speaker:

unavoidable, the pleasure's, the pains, the impulse, the instincts,

Speaker:

the animal desires from below,

Speaker:

the sub cortical areas are interfering in a sense,

Speaker:

and yet they're acting as feedback mechanisms to let us know what we haven't

Speaker:

loved. So they're interfering in the sense of the fullest expression,

Speaker:

but they're guiding us to that fullest expression if they're interpreted

Speaker:

properly and wisely. So that's why I put the Demartini Method together.

Speaker:

I put it together to ask questions, to help you transcend that.

Speaker:

Now the second you transcend it and you go onto the transcendent state and

Speaker:

you're inspired, and you're now inspired to get up and take action,

Speaker:

and do something, you might say, awaken your legacy,

Speaker:

your immortal legacy in life and go do something extraordinary,

Speaker:

you're going to be confronted by your next unknown, the next mystery.

Speaker:

Cause you made history of the last mystery going onto the next mystery.

Speaker:

In the Flammarion diagram you're opening up the veil of the infinitude of the

Speaker:

universe beyond,

Speaker:

and you're going into the unknowns that nobody has knowledge of all things,

Speaker:

there's always the knowing and the unknown beyond it.

Speaker:

And that unknown tends to put us into back into our judgments,

Speaker:

back into our immanent mind, back into our seeking and avoiding,

Speaker:

back into our moral hypocrisies,

Speaker:

and we get trapped again temporarily until we ask the quality questions again,

Speaker:

again, the Demartini Method is brought back to the surface to ask new questions,

Speaker:

to penetrate the next mystery, to break through the next boundary,

Speaker:

to liberate ourselves again to the things we are doing,

Speaker:

to have our own will you might say, match the real actualized universe.

Speaker:

Because the laws of the universe are not biased by human invention.

Speaker:

They are basically there as laws of the universe and at the moment we align with

Speaker:

those laws of the universe, you might say matching human will with,

Speaker:

some people have called it the divine order, divine will, if you will,

Speaker:

we're liberated again.

Speaker:

And we don't have the paradox of the predestination and freewill.

Speaker:

We don't have the paradox of necessity and contingency or determinism and

Speaker:

indeterminism as the philosophers have been trapped in for centuries,

Speaker:

we're now free in the transcendental state to see and get a glimpse of what is

Speaker:

called the magnificence. And we're no longer trapped in the insignificance.

Speaker:

So I'm a firm believer that the quality of our lives is based on those

Speaker:

questions, and I've put for, since I was 18 years old,

Speaker:

I'm 66 almost now in a few weeks,

Speaker:

so I've been working on those questions in the Demartini Method to help people

Speaker:

liberate themselves from those emotional biases, so they can see objective,

Speaker:

self-actualizing states.

Speaker:

And it's liberating and it's invigorating and it's vitalizing,

Speaker:

and it's inspiring to really see what actually is.

Speaker:

As David Bohm says very beautifully, that there's a hidden order,

Speaker:

an implicate order inside the apparent chaos.

Speaker:

And we know that at the border of order and chaos is where maximum growth

Speaker:

occurs. So when we can see the support and the challenge,

Speaker:

the positives and negatives,

Speaker:

and all other polarities that we could ever perceive at the same time,

Speaker:

we access this transcendental state.

Speaker:

In that state we're not seeking or avoiding,

Speaker:

we're not letting the extrinsic world run us, we're centered, we're poised,

Speaker:

we're present, we're purposeful,

Speaker:

we're in a state of productivity and we're in priority at that moment.

Speaker:

Cause we're living by highest priority and we're living objectively.

Speaker:

And this is a state of consciousness that we have access to.

Speaker:

Can we stay there 24 hours a day? No, I don't want to mislead that.

Speaker:

But can you experience that and go back to it anytime you've been perturbed and

Speaker:

unstabilized by misperceptions of the external world? Yes.

Speaker:

And can you transcend subconscious baggage that normally runs your life and

Speaker:

weighs you down gravitationally with entropy and bipolar bits you

Speaker:

might say of entropy,

Speaker:

or can you transcend it and synthesize it and have an quantum entangled

Speaker:

state synchronously at the same time and transcend it and see things as they are

Speaker:

for a moment and get a glimpse of the magnificence there.

Speaker:

Leibniz called it divine perfection,

Speaker:

cause he didn't know what else to call it because he realized that even though

Speaker:

reductionistic science has a belief system that it's going to figure out the

Speaker:

subjective experiences of the brain, the mystery box is still there,

Speaker:

we still,

Speaker:

even though we've reduced it now down all the way down to the DNA of the cells,

Speaker:

we reduced it further and further and we enter into a quantum entangled world in

Speaker:

the future,

Speaker:

we're going to end up realize that the quantum entangled field is that

Speaker:

panpsychic intelligence

Speaker:

that's always been there that some people have called the divine.

Speaker:

And I'm a firm believer that that's accessible the second you

Speaker:

ask the right questions.

Speaker:

And so I'm not interested in going through a superficial ritual of a spiritual

Speaker:

nature. I'm interested in making a cognitive science,

Speaker:

turn it into a spiritual experience because I really believe that true science

Speaker:

and true philosophical religious constructs do not need to argue.

Speaker:

They can be completely reproduced and integrated together.

Speaker:

And I'm interested in that. So I put together the Demartini Method,

Speaker:

that's why I teach the Breakthrough Experience,

Speaker:

that's really what the whole purpose of all my programs are.

Speaker:

Even these little webinars that we do,

Speaker:

at least as to wet people's appetite of what's the potential they have

Speaker:

inside them. And this is what I love doing.

Speaker:

I love watching people's lives transform,

Speaker:

when they get a glimpse of this magnificence. That keeps me fueled daily.

Speaker:

So the reason for this class today is to let you know that you can live in the

Speaker:

vicissitudes and the perturbations of the external world and the volatilities

Speaker:

and end up bipolar and unstable and uncertain and have cloudiness and

Speaker:

then because of that,

Speaker:

brain offload all your decisions onto the cognitive collective and become

Speaker:

part of the herd and part of the sheep instead of the shepherd,

Speaker:

or you can actually be,

Speaker:

you might say the one who accesses the direct awareness,

Speaker:

the self-actualizing direct awareness that's available to people who know how to

Speaker:

ask the right question and access an unborrowed visionary state,

Speaker:

and become not a collective herd individual, but actually a leader.

Speaker:

And I believe that inside you, you want to make a difference.

Speaker:

And you're only going to make a difference to the degree of your uniqueness.

Speaker:

And you have a unique set of values.

Speaker:

And if you live in priority and you delegate lower priority things and awaken

Speaker:

your objective state, you can access the transcendental mind magnificently,

Speaker:

at will. And that's what I love teaching people to do.

Speaker:

I'd love to teach you that process. That's why I do the Demartini Method.

Speaker:

I was working on that this morning and writing an article on that this morning.

Speaker:

Because it gives us the options in life,

Speaker:

the freedom in life to not let the world on the outside dictate our destiny,

Speaker:

but to let the voice and the vision on the inside be more profound than all that

Speaker:

on the outside. So you can live by the vicissitudes again,

Speaker:

the perturbations of the world around you.

Speaker:

You can live in the instabilities in the emotional complexes,

Speaker:

the superior complex of pride, the inferior complex of shame,

Speaker:

the infatuations and resentments.

Speaker:

Cause when you infatuate you minimize yourself into shame,

Speaker:

when you resent somebody,

Speaker:

you're gonna exaggerate yourself into pride and you can get trapped in that,

Speaker:

or you can transcend it and synthesize it. For centuries the

Speaker:

dialectic was for that objective, but it didn't have the ability to synthesize.

Speaker:

We now have taken the dialectic to the next level,

Speaker:

I've figured out a way of getting past the dialectic limitations and go what

Speaker:

Hegel attempted to do to create a synthesized spiritual awareness.

Speaker:

We now have a way of doing it,

Speaker:

even though Immanuel Kant didn't believe it was possible,

Speaker:

there is now a way of doing it.

Speaker:

And it came from a discovery in studying cell physiology, how I came up with it,

Speaker:

but it's basically the synthesis and synchronicity of opposites.

Speaker:

I call it the Great Discovery and it's in the Demartini Method.

Speaker:

And it's a great, the greatest discovery I've made in my studies of 40,

Speaker:

almost eight years. And that is the realization that at any one moment,

Speaker:

you don't perceive things that you polarize that

Speaker:

the opposite being there, you have to perceive contrast.

Speaker:

And these pairs of opposites can be seen simultaneously,

Speaker:

if you ask the right question and liberate yourself from those ratios

Speaker:

of emotion that can distract you from being present.

Speaker:

So if you want to be more present, you want to be more inspired,

Speaker:

you want to be more grateful, you want to be enthused about your life,

Speaker:

you want to be in a sense,

Speaker:

loving your life and doing what you love and prioritizing things and delegating

Speaker:

lower priority things and serving people and having something meaningful in your

Speaker:

life, you have the capacity with the Demartini Method to help do that.

Speaker:

And it will awaken an ever expanding vision.

Speaker:

And you will eventually realize that you're a celestial being,

Speaker:

having a terrestrial experience, as some have said,

Speaker:

instead of a terrestrial being gravitationally drawn down to the planet,

Speaker:

living small, narrow-minded, black and white, polarized, emotional,

Speaker:

herd, you have the capacity to have a transcendental state and a celestial

Speaker:

perspective.

Speaker:

So I just wanted to share that with you in case that was a little mouthful

Speaker:

this morning, but and I also want to share a thing,

Speaker:

how important it is that if you're not developing yourself,

Speaker:

you see every time you polarize yourself, you're in personas.

Speaker:

And if you're not developing and integrating personas

Speaker:

which means to integrate those and mastering the art of transcendence,

Speaker:

you're probably not reaching your fullest potential.

Speaker:

So I'm a firm believer in that,

Speaker:

or I wouldn't be doing this every single day of my life.

Speaker:

I'm a firm believer that you can transcend that.

Speaker:

And that's why personal development is so important.

Speaker:

The people that do it the most need it the least,

Speaker:

the people that do it the least need it the most as far as achievements in life.

Speaker:

So I'm very encouraging you to take advantage of that knowledge and

Speaker:

take advantage of the Breakthrough Experience,

Speaker:

take advantage of learning the method. It's profound.

Speaker:

And it's getting more profound as I keep polishing it over the years.

Speaker:

And I also want to share one last thing. I want to share a gift with you.

Speaker:

And that is activating your astronomical vision.

Speaker:

And this is a presentation I did in a, what do you call it,

Speaker:

a planetarium, to a group of executive individuals,

Speaker:

and I want you to have this, I want you to take advantage of it.

Speaker:

It's a journey of profound purpose, insight and inspiration, as it says,

Speaker:

you can get it by going on demartini.fm/gift.

Speaker:

And please take advantage of this, get this,

Speaker:

this Awakening Your Astronomical Vision.

Speaker:

It's about seeing yourself from a celestial perspective,

Speaker:

not a terrestrial perspective. It's about living congruently,

Speaker:

where you expand yourself, not live in shrunkville.

Speaker:

If you want to make a difference in yourself,

Speaker:

you need a vision bigger than yourself.

Speaker:

And this is how to access a greater vision. This is how to be more objective.

Speaker:

This is how to have self-governance.

Speaker:

This is about how to transcend the external worlds that are stored in your

Speaker:

subconscious mind, that weigh you down and give you on the baggage.

Speaker:

So if you want to transcend your baggage and leave it at baggage claim and get

Speaker:

on a flight and fly across the world, not worrying about your baggage,

Speaker:

it's a metaphor, then come get that little experience, Awakening Your

Speaker:

Astronomical Vision. I'm absolutely certain that what's in there,

Speaker:

you'll listen to it, probably six or 10 times.

Speaker:

I know people that call me and they say, you know, I can't put this thing down,

Speaker:

I listen to it. I listened to it again and again, there's so much in it.

Speaker:

It's rich and it's content rich.

Speaker:

So take advantage of the gift and give yourself permission to do something

Speaker:

extraordinary. Maybe listen to this again, this little presentation again,

Speaker:

because you can transcend those instabilities with a stable focused and

Speaker:

inspired mind. The transcendental state is available to you.

Speaker:

So I look forward to seeing you on the next little gathering we have next week.

Speaker:

Thank you. Whether it's morning, afternoon, or evening there, love you.

Speaker:

Go for it. Give yourself permission to do something extraordinary.

Speaker:

[Inaudible].
