If you ask the question that
allows you to be really present,
Speaker:in the moment and synthesize
and syncretize the opposite,
Speaker:pairs of opposites in the
mind, we end up in presence.
Speaker:In all probability you've heard
people talking about, now be present,
Speaker:get into the now, don't live in
the past and future, be present.
Speaker:I'd like to address that topic today.
Speaker:So if you have something to write
with and write on, you might grab it.
Speaker:But for centuries, if not millennia,
Speaker:there has been discussions in
philosophers minds on, what
Speaker:exactly is the present?
Is it an infinitesimal,
Speaker:so tiny you can't even get into it?
Speaker:Is it some increment of time
that we're called present?
Speaker:And is the present something we
once had as we go into the future,
Speaker:or will have
we're living in the past.
Speaker:Where exactly is the present? How
do we get into it? The power of now,
Speaker:Eckhart Tolle talked about.
Well, how do we do it?
Speaker:I've been fascinated with that
topic for many decades. So
Speaker:let's just address that topic for
a second. Now, my observation,
Speaker:if you are meeting people and you meet
somebody that you're infatuated with,
Speaker:and you look up to them and
you're conscious of the upside,
Speaker:unconscious of the downside,
and you anticipate,
Speaker:you start to create an
imagination of what could happen,
Speaker:engaging with this
individual into the future.
Speaker:And if you ran into somebody in
the past that you were infatuated
Speaker:with in the past, and liked, you
might recall that into the past,
Speaker:as long as you have imagination
into the future and you have memory,
Speaker:you're adding the arrow
of time into your mind,
Speaker:which is what is called entropic,
Speaker:it tends to make us disordered and
it tends to make us wobble and not
Speaker:be present. But we're thinking about
the future, thinking about the past,
Speaker:and we're having intrusive thoughts about
things we're infatuated with or things
Speaker:we were once infatuated with
in the memory of the past.
Speaker:The same thing if we resent somebody.
Speaker:If we're highly resentful and
conscious of the downsides,
Speaker:unconscious of the upsides, we can
actually now have intrusive thoughts.
Speaker:I'm sure you've had infatuations
or resentments to people
and tried to sleep at
Speaker:night and you couldn't sleep,
Speaker:because you had all this ruminating
in your mind and your imagination was
Speaker:running wild and the memory of what
has happened is now in your mind.
Speaker:So you're oscillating back
and forth. And when you do,
Speaker:you have time in the mind.
And anytime you do that,
Speaker:you're in the existential world where
you've extended time and space into
Speaker:past and future, and over there, not here.
Speaker:But being present is very powerful.
Speaker:It's a one word that actually
integrates space and time. Present here,
Speaker:present now.
Speaker:And what's interesting is when you extract
out space and time from the mind and
Speaker:become present, you also empower the mind.
Speaker:Your intuition is attempting to do that,
Speaker:but the impulses and instincts of your
amygdala and your subcortical area of
Speaker:your brain and your subconscious
mind is keeping it in time.
Speaker:That's why philosophers said
there was Kairos and Chronos.
Speaker:Chronos was time and Kairos was
present. So the question is,
Speaker:how do we actually go
to the present? Well,
Speaker:I've been interested in that
for a long time. And in fact,
Speaker:my Demartini Method that I present in
the Breakthrough Experience is designed
Speaker:for that objective. It actually says,
Speaker:now go to a moment where and
when you perceive a particular
Speaker:event that you were infatuated
with or resentful to,
Speaker:that you admire or despise,
that you look up to or down on.
Speaker:And in that moment you find the opposite.
Speaker:If you're finding it positive,
you find the negative to it.
Speaker:If you find it negative,
you find the positive to it.
Speaker:And once you bring them into perfect
symmetry, perfect synchronicity,
Speaker:simultaneous opposites,
Speaker:you take out memory and imagination
and infatuation resentment,
Speaker:and you bring somebody to the present.
Speaker:Now I've been doing that
for 35, 38 years now,
Speaker:35 in the Breakthrough Experience plus,
Speaker:38 years clinically with
people with my method,
Speaker:and when people are actually present,
they have tears of gratitude,
Speaker:they feel love, they're inspired,
Speaker:they feel really enthused
about what's happening,
Speaker:they see the hidden
order in the chaos, they
Speaker:really are in a state of gratitude
and love, and they really,
Speaker:they maximize their potential and their
service and utility into the world.
Speaker:So the second we see both sides
of an event simultaneously,
Speaker:and we don't get infatuated or resentful,
Speaker:where we see the downside to the thing
we look up to and the upsides to the
Speaker:thing we look down on, the second
we do that, we become present.
Speaker:The present is the synthesis
and synchronicity of
complementary opposites in
Speaker:time or space or in emotional charge,
Speaker:or things that matter
to us. So I ask people,
Speaker:what specific trait,
Speaker:action or inaction do you perceive this
individual displaying or demonstrating
Speaker:that you admire most,
or despise most? Great,
Speaker:at that moment I ask
them now, at that moment,
Speaker:what's the downside to it,
or what's the upside to it?
Speaker:And when the downsides and upsides
come into perfect equilibrium,
Speaker:where it's not positive nor negative,
it's neither positive or negative,
Speaker:the memory and imagination
come into the present.
Speaker:And instead of sitting there and
holding onto a memory of the past or
Speaker:imagination of the future,
Speaker:we automatically extract out space and
time in the mind and get present. Now,
Speaker:meditation is sort of doing
this with our intuition,
Speaker:and we can get to the present
by a meditation, but it's
kind of a hit and miss,
Speaker:it may take minutes.
Speaker:But the method that I've developed is
designed to take you into the present.
Speaker:It's designed to extract out space and
time from the mind and become present.
Speaker:And it's the space and time in the mind
that causes all the disorder and chaos
Speaker:and emotional vicissitudes
and volatilities and
uncertainties we have in our
Speaker:life. The moment we bring ourselves
into the present, we transcend those.
Speaker:And again, we have the transcendental
feelings of gratitude, love, inspiration,
Speaker:enthusiasm, certainty and presence. And
that's where we have the most power.
Speaker:That's where we're most objective. See,
Speaker:we have subjective biases
when we judge things.
Speaker:And we have objective truth
and we actually love things,
Speaker:we see both sides of things. Now, I'm
not defining love as an infatuation,
Speaker:which many people think is love,
Speaker:but love is the synthesis and
synchronicity of opposites.
Speaker:And what I mean by synchronicity,
Speaker:that means there's no time
separating things causally.
Speaker:It's not this happened and then after
that this happened. They're simultaneous.
Speaker:When you have simultaneity and you
have synchronicity and you have a
Speaker:perfect synthesis in space and
time, you now become present.
Speaker:Now, this was done by the dialectic by
Greek philosophers attempting at least,
Speaker:but I've developed a method that think
goes beyond that and allows you to ask
Speaker:questions. I have a section
in my Demartini Method,
Speaker:which I present in the Breakthrough
Experience called Column 6 and 13 of a
Speaker:series of columns that
we ask questions on.
Speaker:And in this question we go to a moment
where and when we perceive an individual
Speaker:displaying or demonstrating
a trait, action,
Speaker:or an action that we
admire or despise most,
Speaker:and in that moment we identify
where it happened, when it happened,
Speaker:and we become present in
the moment of perception.
Speaker:The more present we are in
the moment of perception,
Speaker:the less we have space and time,
Speaker:and the less we have emotions
and less the uncertainties.
Speaker:And in that moment our
intuition will pop out,
Speaker:once we're clear on the where the when
and what the content was and exactly
Speaker:what and who they did this
to, if they did it to you,
Speaker:the action that you're judging,
if you get really present with it,
Speaker:your intuition reveals
the complete antiparticle,
Speaker:the opposite experience,
Speaker:because all perceptions are
made out of pairs of opposites.
Speaker:And the moment you see both
of them simultaneously, you
enter into the presence.
Speaker:And the moment you do, you're not in
beta waves, you're not in delta waves,
Speaker:you're in alpha theta waves,
Speaker:and then you synchronize into gamma
waves and you get a gamma synchronicity,
Speaker:an aha, eureka moment,
Speaker:where you're inspired and you get
tears in the eyes and you know,
Speaker:a state of knowing, there's no
uncertainty, a state of certainty.
Speaker:And in that moment, you have the moment
of presence. And it's awe-inspiring.
Speaker:There's a very powerful
state called presence.
Speaker:And in that moment there's kind
of a timeless mind, ageless body,
Speaker:as Deepak used to say. And in that moment,
we don't age, we don't have entropy,
Speaker:we have negentropy, the
opposite of entropy.
Speaker:And this is the physics of
life, not the physics of death.
Speaker:Entropy is the tendency
to go to randomness and
disorder and which is part of
Speaker:the death process, the death
physics. But this is life physics.
Speaker:This is discovering the hidden order in
the apparent chaos and seeing things.
Speaker:It's when you reclaim the information
that you were unconscious of and become
Speaker:fully conscious and you see both sides
simultaneously that you become present.
Speaker:And this state is not only profound
as far as wellness quotient,
Speaker:but it's also profound in the sense of
loving and appreciating life and yourself
Speaker:and the people around you.
Speaker:So I just wanted to make a few moments
on this idea of being present. Again,
Speaker:if you ask the question that allows you
to be really present in the moment and
Speaker:in synthesize and syncretize the opposite,
Speaker:pairs of opposites in the mind, we end
up in presence. What's interesting,
Speaker:in quantum physics there's
a thing called entanglement,
Speaker:where you have a positive charged
particle, like a positron,
Speaker:and a negatively charged
particle like electron,
Speaker:and they originate out of a
photon, and what happens they go,
Speaker:no matter where they are in space
and time, they work as a team.
Speaker:And so this is a quantum
entanglement. Well,
Speaker:the same kind of thing
occurs sort of in the mind.
Speaker:The mind has never a memory
without an imagination.
Speaker:The hippocampus that stores the memory
also has the details for the imagination.
Speaker:And in the process, when you get really
present, at the moment of perception,
Speaker:these things that separate
normally, reunite.
Speaker:And in that moment you have a temporal
entanglement, time is synchronized,
Speaker:a spatial entanglement, no
matter where it is in space time,
Speaker:they synchronize their opposite
behaviors. And in that moment,
Speaker:you have presence. And this is
the key, as I said, to wellness.
Speaker:This is the key to stability. It's
the key to self-actualization.
Speaker:And I'm a firm believer that if you
follow the process that I teach in the
Speaker:Breakthrough Experience and actually go
through and do that and enter into that
Speaker:state, which we make sure everybody does,
Speaker:you can't have anything
except a tear of gratitude.
Speaker:You spontaneously see the hidden
order in the apparent chaos,
Speaker:and you realize there was nothing
to fix, nothing to change.
Speaker:It's like a perfection
that occurs. You know,
Speaker:Leibniz, the German philosopher talked
about that the more people probe into the
Speaker:mysteries of life, the more perfect
it becomes. And I think this is it.
Speaker:We we have this assumption there's a
mistake in the universe or some sort of
Speaker:disordered thing that's going on,
Speaker:and then we look and ask a new set of
questions that equilibrate our mind and we
Speaker:enter into a state where
there's nothing but grace,
Speaker:a state where we realize
that there's nothing to fix.
Speaker:Every very week in the Breakthrough
Experience I have people coming there and
Speaker:they come up with the idea that, you know,
Speaker:my father didn't do this or
my mother didn't do that,
Speaker:or my brother didn't do this,
or sister didn't do that,
Speaker:or my husband does this
or, and they got judgments.
Speaker:And every time you judge, you're
adding space and time to the mind,
Speaker:weighing yourself down with
gravitational pull, emotional baggage.
Speaker:And you store it in your hippocampus
and the subconscious mind,
Speaker:this drama that's in your life and
these uncertainties and vicissitudes.
Speaker:But the second you go through there and
ask the right question to see both sides
Speaker:simultaneous and synchronize your mind,
Speaker:and extract out space and time
between pairs of opposites,
Speaker:and literally enter into the world
of the entangled pairs of opposites,
Speaker:like in quantum physics,
Speaker:you'll open up a doorway of opportunity
for your life to be actually fulfilled.
Speaker:And that's why I took the moment to share
this because I've developed a science,
Speaker:since I was 18 years old I've been
working on it 50, almost two years.
Speaker:And you can access this state
and it's duplicatable and
Speaker:reproducible and transcribable
and translatable,
Speaker:and I can take anybody from almost any
culture and have them go through it.
Speaker:If they can translate
what my instructions are,
Speaker:they can actually go and enter into this
state, and actually in that mind state,
Speaker:that mental state, you're actually not
aging. You're actually having no entropy.
Speaker:You're actually just present. There's
a stillness there in the mind.
Speaker:There's no noise in the mind,
there's no distractions.
Speaker:There's no impulses and instincts to seek
or avoid because of pleasure or pain.
Speaker:You synthesized it.
Speaker:I define love as a synthesis
and synchronous of all
complementary opposites.
Speaker:And you enter into a state of
love. And there's grace, as I said,
Speaker:and then you're present.
Speaker:And this present is the perfect
state of where you sit in awe
Speaker:and you're in silence, golden
silence. You've hit the,
Speaker:what Aristotle called the
golden mean, the highest virtue.
Speaker:And this is something that literally
stops some of the aging. See,
Speaker:as long as we're in the existential world
where we're in memory and imagination
Speaker:and we've stored some sort of
emotional charge of polarity,
Speaker:we're going to fear
that which we think is,
Speaker:fear the loss of things
that we think are positive,
Speaker:we're going to fear the gain of
things that we think are negative.
Speaker:If we completely neutralize them and
synchronize them, we don't have fear,
Speaker:we don't have fantasy. No philias,
no phobias, just presence.
Speaker:And that state is a very profound state.
Speaker:And one of the things I absolutely love
about the Breakthrough Experience is
Speaker:teaching people how to do that, making
them go through that, experience that,
Speaker:and have an awe,
Speaker:and they're literally
silent and speechless almost
when they have it because
Speaker:they don't even know how to put
it in words. And that's profound.
Speaker:I've seen people heal from
it that had health issues.
Speaker:I've seen people resolve
conflicts and issues with people.
Speaker:I've seen them love and
appreciate themselves.
Speaker:So I think the journey into the present
is something worthy of every human
Speaker:being.
Speaker:I don't know of any human being that
can't benefit by extracting out space and
Speaker:time from their mind and
getting into the present.
Speaker:And that's why the quality of your life's
based on the quality of the questions
Speaker:you ask. If you ask questions that
allow you to see both sides of an event
Speaker:simultaneously, instead of labeling it
positive or negative or good or bad,
Speaker:or judging it with moral hypocrisies,
Speaker:but to actually just honor it and see
its wholeness. When you're objective,
Speaker:you see both sides simultaneous.
When you're subjective,
Speaker:you bias your opinion
and you perceive things,
Speaker:you have false positives
and false negatives,
Speaker:you see things that aren't there and you
don't see things that are there and you
Speaker:distort your reality.
Speaker:And then you end up having the
aging process and a bunch of time,
Speaker:and you then store that in memories and
imaginations for fear of loss of things
Speaker:or fear of gain of things, prey,
predator mentality, animal behavior,
Speaker:instead of actually human
nature, at its finest.
Speaker:So the journey into presence
is asking quality questions,
Speaker:which I've described and outlined in
the Breakthrough Experience with the
Speaker:Demartini Method, to assist you in having
the timeless mind and ageless body,
Speaker:the the state of presence.
And I believe that anybody,
Speaker:I've seen young kids go through it and
apply the method and see the results,
Speaker:I've seen people in their nineties do it,
Speaker:so time has nothing to do with
it as far as the aging process.
Speaker:Who's the one that can do this? We can
all do it. But learning how to do it,
Speaker:I'm certain can reduce the
stress levels, empower your life,
Speaker:help you communicate more effectively,
help you appreciate and love your life,
Speaker:and allow you to just not
have the aging, you know,
Speaker:and stressful dynamics
that most people live in.
Speaker:So just wanted to take a few moments to
talk about the journey into presence and
Speaker:the journey about being present,
Speaker:and to let you know that in
the Breakthrough Experience
I show you how to do
Speaker:that and teach you the Demartini Method
so you've got that the rest of your
Speaker:life.
Speaker:And I think it does stop and slow down
the aging process and allows you to
Speaker:actually have more gratitude and love
and inspiration and enthusiasm and
Speaker:certainty and presence, which I
call the transcendentals of life.
Speaker:So if you're interested in that,
Speaker:please join me at the
Breakthrough Experience and
come and learn this method on
Speaker:how to become present.
