Speaker:

[Inaudible] Good morning.

Speaker:

Afternoon and evening for everybody who is online today with me.

Speaker:

Thank you for joining me. For those of you who don't know me,

Speaker:

I'm Dr. John Demartini and I'm going to share

Speaker:

the amazing power of the method that I've developed over the years.

Speaker:

I'm going to start off by saying that when I was 18 years old and I

Speaker:

was learning how to read, because I had learning problems as a child,

Speaker:

my uncle sent me a giant couple crates of books to

Speaker:

my home. And two of the books that were sent,

Speaker:

one was by the Nobel prize winner, Paul Dirac,

Speaker:

and it was on particle physics.

Speaker:

He was the one who founded the idea of particles and antiparticles being

Speaker:

balanced initially in the universe.

Speaker:

And then there was also one by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz or Leibniz, who

Speaker:

wrote a book called the Discourse on Metaphysics.

Speaker:

And when I read the Discourse on Metaphysics, he said

Speaker:

first paragraph, that there was a perfection in the universe,

Speaker:

a magnificence in the universe that few people ever get to know,

Speaker:

but those that do their lives are changed and transformed forever,

Speaker:

for the rest of their life. When I read that,

Speaker:

somehow it brought a tear to my eye.

Speaker:

I'm sure you've had a moment when you've read something or heard something or

Speaker:

viewed something that brought a tear of inspiration to you.

Speaker:

I couldn't quite put my finger on or grasp what it was,

Speaker:

but I just knew that I knew that there was something there that I wanted to go

Speaker:

and explore. And I've used since I was 18,

Speaker:

that tear of inspiration as a guidance to kind of navigate through

Speaker:

life of what I want to study and learn and what I was going to do,

Speaker:

because it gave me an insight about when I'm authentic. When I'm authentic,

Speaker:

I get that tear of inspiration as a confirmation.

Speaker:

And when I'm pursuing something that's clear and I'm trying to put a puzzle of

Speaker:

life together, that's a very powerful, useful tool.

Speaker:

After reading that, I went on a pursuit to try to find this quote "perfection",

Speaker:

this divine perfection as he called it,

Speaker:

he was a mathematician and philosopher and theologian.

Speaker:

When I read Paul Dirac's book on particle physics,

Speaker:

and I saw that there's for every particle, there was an anti particle,

Speaker:

and that if you join them together, a particle and anti particle,

Speaker:

a positron and electron, or any particle and anti particle,

Speaker:

you birth light. And in my naivety at the time, I thought, wow,

Speaker:

if particle and anti particle, complementary opposites

Speaker:

because one's a thesis, one's an antithesis,

Speaker:

if they could be synthesized synchronously and birth light,

Speaker:

I wonder what would happen if I was to put the positive and negative experiences

Speaker:

of our life and emotions in our life, happy, sad, kind, cruel,

Speaker:

all pairs of opposites, if they were to be synthesized synchronously,

Speaker:

could I birth enlightenment?

Speaker:

And could I discover the hidden order in the apparent chaos?

Speaker:

I went on a pursuit and I started studying physics and

Speaker:

chemistry and mathematics and psychology and brain research.

Speaker:

And it took me to every ology that you could study.

Speaker:

And I found common threads to these different disciplines.

Speaker:

Will Durant said that there was a dialectic sitting in every field.

Speaker:

And I found that to be true.

Speaker:

A dialectic means a thesis and antithesis synthesis,

Speaker:

opinions and opposite opinions joined together to make more objective truth.

Speaker:

I started to pursue psychology, brain research, and

Speaker:

as I went along,

Speaker:

I started to realize that every time we perceive something and judge something

Speaker:

as positive or negative, they were always birthed out of contrast.

Speaker:

Wundt, W U N D T who was a psychologist at the time, way back, William

Speaker:

James, over 100 and something years, 125 years ago,

Speaker:

said that there was a study of psychology that led to the realization that there

Speaker:

was always opposition and synchronicities of opposites,

Speaker:

he called it the law of contrast.

Speaker:

And Heraclitus in the fifth century

Speaker:

BC mentioned the same thing and many people,

Speaker:

many philosophers through the ages mentioned this. And this stuck in my mind,

Speaker:

because it seemed to show up in chemistry, in physics,

Speaker:

in math and everything else I found,

Speaker:

trying to balance the equation in mathematics, balance

Speaker:

balance the nuclear physics, balance everything,

Speaker:

I thought somehow there's an inherent objective balancing

Speaker:

mechanism going on in the brain. The research was pointing to it. Contrast with

Speaker:

sensory systems.

Speaker:

I realized that when I was thrown off from being centered in life,

Speaker:

and I was infatuated with something,

Speaker:

I was conscious of the upsides and unconscious of the downsides.

Speaker:

And when I was resentful to something, I was conscious of the downsides,

Speaker:

unconscious of the upsides. But when I saw both sides simultaneously,

Speaker:

I was neither up nor down, I was centered.

Speaker:

And I was neither shamed when I was infatuated with others or proud when I

Speaker:

was resenting others, I was authentic. And I thought, okay,

Speaker:

this is the first principle that I want to incorporate into what I'm going to

Speaker:

call the Demartini Method. Originally, it was called the Retro Genesis Process,

Speaker:

later it was called the Collapse Process based on quantum physics and collapsing

Speaker:

the wave function by Schrödinger. Then it was called the collapse,

Speaker:

I guess they call it the Demartini Collapse Process.

Speaker:

Eventually I realized that that was confusing people,

Speaker:

and I just turned it to The Demartini Method,

Speaker:

everybody just started calling it that anyway.

Speaker:

And so I started to put two principles together.

Speaker:

I realized in myself that whenever I was judging somebody and

Speaker:

criticizing somebody, looking down on somebody, if I was really honest,

Speaker:

I found out that the thing I was judging them for was something I was actually

Speaker:

feeling ashamed about.

Speaker:

And I was judging and pointing my finger out at them and actually three of them

Speaker:

were pointing back at me. You know, it's the old problem that,

Speaker:

pluck the mote out of your own eye before you pluck it out of somebody else's

Speaker:

and look inside yourself before you look at others that way.

Speaker:

And I decided to go to the dictionary, the Oxford dictionary,

Speaker:

which is the biggest dictionary I could find at the time,

Speaker:

the smallest little prints, thinnest little paper,

Speaker:

most comprehensive dictionary.

Speaker:

And I went through every human behavioral trait that I could find

Speaker:

that a human being could display.

Speaker:

And I circled each behavior as I went down the page,

Speaker:

this is a long project here.

Speaker:

And as I came across the word that described a trait that I would

Speaker:

consider a human behavior, some action or inaction or trait or behavior,

Speaker:

I then thought of who is it that I know that displays that trait to the most

Speaker:

extreme example. And I put their initials out there.

Speaker:

And then I thought to myself, kind of where, and when do I display that?

Speaker:

And I looked inside my life and really reflected cause reflective awareness,

Speaker:

which is self-inspection,

Speaker:

introspection is one of the greatest awareness we have,

Speaker:

it's what distinguishes us from the animals in a sense,

Speaker:

there is a non-reflective consciousness and,

Speaker:

non reflective consciousness is observant of the world around you,

Speaker:

like an animal can see the environment,

Speaker:

but he can't see itself look at the environment,

Speaker:

but self-reflective awareness is being able to look at yourself in the

Speaker:

environment, looking at the environment.

Speaker:

And I looked at myself and I realized that the individuals that I had imagined

Speaker:

being the most extreme example, I looked for where and when I displayed that,

Speaker:

and it was not hard to see, I,

Speaker:

I realized that I actually did and did display those same behaviors.

Speaker:

And I went through, believe it or not 4,628 traits.

Speaker:

And I discovered I had them all. I was nice at times. I was mean at times,

Speaker:

I was kind at times, I was cruel at times, I was considerate, inconsiderate,

Speaker:

thoughtful, thoughtless, peaceful, wrathful, nice, mean, kind, cruel,

Speaker:

considerate, inconsiderate. I was honest, dishonest.

Speaker:

I was putting on with pride and arrogance and then shame and humbleness.

Speaker:

And I went through and I found out that I did every one of them at different

Speaker:

moments in my life, if I was really honest and I didn't want to be honest,

Speaker:

I wanted to put on the proud face and pretend like I had gotten rid of some,

Speaker:

I actually was bought into at that early stage, that self-improvement,

Speaker:

that I was going to get rid of half of myself and get only one sidedness.

Speaker:

It wasn't until age 30 that I finally realized that was futile.

Speaker:

I realized that everything that I thought I'd gotten rid of,

Speaker:

I realized I still surfaced and I was repressing it, and then it would explode.

Speaker:

When I finally realized, I realized it's better to just own the traits.

Speaker:

It's interesting how we want to be loved for who we are,

Speaker:

and yet we're trying to get rid of half of ourselves and we want to love other

Speaker:

people, but we want to get rid of half of them.

Speaker:

And we want to love the world and want to get rid of half of it.

Speaker:

And that's just absolute idiocy when you think about it,

Speaker:

you're not going to do it. And I found out that I never got rid of a trait.

Speaker:

I never really gained a trait cause I traced those traits all the way back to my

Speaker:

childhood and I continued to have them.

Speaker:

And I realized that these biological traits,

Speaker:

these behaviors were absolutely essential and there was a biologic reason for

Speaker:

them. I realized that I needed kind and cruel at different signs because when my

Speaker:

values, my hierarchy of values were supported, I was nice, a pussycat.

Speaker:

When my values were challenged, I was cruel.

Speaker:

And I needed both of those because life has both support and challenge.

Speaker:

Maximum growth and development occurs at the border of support and challenge.

Speaker:

Ordering and chaos,

Speaker:

living at the edge of chaos is one of the principles in evolutionary biology.

Speaker:

When I finally realized that I put together the very

Speaker:

first phase of the Demartini Method.

Speaker:

That was where you make a list of every trait action or inaction that

Speaker:

you can admire or despise about somebody.

Speaker:

And you make sure that that list is balanced,

Speaker:

because our first assumption is that there's way more negatives than positives,

Speaker:

or way more positives than negatives or whatever, resentful, or infatuated,

Speaker:

but this is holding you accountable.

Speaker:

Accountable is able to bring a balance sheet to your mind and being accountable

Speaker:

to see that balance.

Speaker:

So I made myself look at where the individual that I'm

Speaker:

disliking for instance,

Speaker:

and I'd rattled off all the negatives about them that I dislike,

Speaker:

I gotta go find as many positives of that. And when I looked, I found them,

Speaker:

I had just chosen not to look.

Speaker:

I had a subjective bias as a survival mechanism to keep me from looking for the

Speaker:

both sides.

Speaker:

And I wanted to label the person and archetype them instead of embrace them

Speaker:

as one and had all the traits in life.

Speaker:

And when I went and made myself accountable to write

Speaker:

the negatives that make sure that those numbers were balanced,

Speaker:

and if I saw way more negatives, I got to go look deeper, I found them,

Speaker:

I found that they were both sides.

Speaker:

And then I found out that not only do I have them,

Speaker:

but so do the people around me.

Speaker:

And then I went and I looked at where and when I displayed and demonstrated

Speaker:

those behaviors. Now, initially it was kind of cursory.

Speaker:

I just looked at where did I do it and I wasn't really precise. And I just know,

Speaker:

yeah, I've done it. But I, I now know,

Speaker:

go to exactly where it was and when it was.

Speaker:

I now ask the individual in the Demartini Method,

Speaker:

go to a moment where and when you perceive this individual, pardon me, yourself,

Speaker:

display or demonstrate the same or similar behavioral trait, action,

Speaker:

inaction that you despise, or like admire most.

Speaker:

And go in there and identify where it is, when it is,

Speaker:

to who it is and who's perceiving you do that.

Speaker:

And that gets an episodic moment out of your brain and locks in a neuro

Speaker:

associative complex, neurologically, which is essential to transform the brain.

Speaker:

And I made myself accountable to find what I saw in other people.

Speaker:

And the reason why I resented them is because it was reminding me of something I

Speaker:

had done in the past that I felt guilty about.

Speaker:

And I didn't want to deal with that and I didn't like being around them because

Speaker:

they reminded me of me that I was judging.

Speaker:

And sometimes I was too proud to admit what I saw in them,

Speaker:

inside me and I wanted to avoid them and label them and

Speaker:

bias my perception of them instead of look at the balance of them and see them

Speaker:

as an individual, I'd put a persona,

Speaker:

mask on them about who they are instead of embrace them as a whole human being.

Speaker:

And when I was admiring somebody,

Speaker:

I was too humble to admit what I saw in them was inside me, but I had it.

Speaker:

And that was very powerful cause then I realized that whatever I admired in

Speaker:

them, in any human being, a great hero or a great villain,

Speaker:

that I'm too proud to admit, by God, I've got all that in me.

Speaker:

At the level of my soul, nothing's missing in me, cause I'm not judging.

Speaker:

The soul is a state of unconditional love. At the level of our senses,

Speaker:

things appear to be missing because we're too proud or too humble to admit what

Speaker:

we see in others inside ourselves, and those disowned parts,

Speaker:

those too proud or too humbled personas that we have and the projected

Speaker:

personas we project onto people are not really truths.

Speaker:

They're just our biases and those biases weigh us down gravitationally,

Speaker:

keeps us in bondage.

Speaker:

Because anything we infatuate and resent occupy space and time in our mind and

Speaker:

run us, irrespective of time or space, we could be run by our emotions 20, 30,

Speaker:

40 years later, cause we never resolved them, never balanced them.

Speaker:

And I realized that as long as I'm infatuated,

Speaker:

cause I've had infatuation I couldn't sleep at night,

Speaker:

it was preoccupying my mind. Being resentful, where I

Speaker:

preoccupying my mind.

Speaker:

Only when I centered myself and brought myself into perfect balance,

Speaker:

synchronously,

Speaker:

that I was able to rest and actually get centered and I required less sleep when

Speaker:

I found that, mastered that.

Speaker:

So I first made a list of all the specific trait, actions,

Speaker:

inactions that this individual displayed or demonstrated that I admired or

Speaker:

despised most.

Speaker:

Then I looked at where and when did I display and demonstrate the specific

Speaker:

trait, action,

Speaker:

inaction in my own life and I'd level the playing field and realize I was no

Speaker:

longer too proud or too humble to admit what I see in them inside me.

Speaker:

And that was with the first level of reflective awareness. And then I realized,

Speaker:

that as I honored myself,

Speaker:

how are you going to be loved for who you are if you keep exaggerating and

Speaker:

minimizing yourself and you don't even allow yourself to be yourself.

Speaker:

I found when I was myself, I was grateful. I was inspired. I was loving.

Speaker:

I was present. I was certain, I had inspiration,

Speaker:

and those were confirmations of being authentic.

Speaker:

But as long as I was looking down on somebody or looking up at somebody,

Speaker:

I wasn't being me. So that was the first two steps of the Demartini Method.

Speaker:

Then I realized that the trait, action,

Speaker:

inaction that I initially admired or despised that I thought had

Speaker:

upsides without downsides or downsides without upsides,

Speaker:

where I split my consciousness into conscious and unconscious halves,

Speaker:

the thing that I thought was up, had downsides and the

Speaker:

had upsides. I realized, and I watched that in my clients,

Speaker:

if somebody would come to me and say, 'Well,

Speaker:

my father was really cruel to me and mean to me.' And then I found out that they

Speaker:

became entrepreneurs, capable of being independent, resilient,

Speaker:

and adaptable and driven. And I found out the other person said, 'Well,

Speaker:

my mother was very nice to me,

Speaker:

never cruel to me.' And then I realized that you became dependent and then you

Speaker:

expected everybody to be like your mother.

Speaker:

And then you became juvenile and you couldn't even ask questions to yourself,

Speaker:

you had to offload the responsibilities onto mommy and you never grew up,

Speaker:

and I've seen men stay with their mommies when they're 50 years old.

Speaker:

And I realized that nice is actually mean and the mean has actual nice.

Speaker:

And I realized that those were illusions that people were having.

Speaker:

And then I also realized the things that we think are terrible a day, a week,

Speaker:

a month, a year or five years later,

Speaker:

we realized that there's some terrific hidden in that, and we look back and go,

Speaker:

thank you, that, I didn't see it. But I,

Speaker:

I now have the wisdom of the ages because of the aging process, but I can,

Speaker:

if I do the Demartini Method, have the wisdom of the ages without it,

Speaker:

don't have to wait 20 years to find out that the thing is a blessing.

Speaker:

Find the blessing by looking. The quality of your life is based on

Speaker:

the questions you ask,

Speaker:

the Demartini Method is a series of questions that

Speaker:

make you aware of the unconscious part.

Speaker:

So your unconscious is always trying to reveal to you the side you're ignoring,

Speaker:

your intuition is trying to do that.

Speaker:

So if you're infatuated with somebody your intuition is trying to point out the

Speaker:

downsides, the part you're unconscious of.

Speaker:

And when you're resentful to somebody it's trying to find out the meaning,

Speaker:

the upsides, so you're fully conscious and the part you're unconscious of.

Speaker:

And so I realized that when I look carefully and ask questions,

Speaker:

so go to a moment where and when you perceive this individual displaying or

Speaker:

demonstrating a specific trait, action, inaction that you admire or despise,

Speaker:

and what's the downsides of the thing they admire and what's the upsides of

Speaker:

that, and made you accountable, hold yourself accountable to see both sides.

Speaker:

The moment you do, they don't run you.

Speaker:

Instead of being extrinsically driven as a victim of history,

Speaker:

you now become a master of destiny and realize you have control over your

Speaker:

perceptions, decisions, and actions.

Speaker:

And that's very profound when you finally be accountable and be objective.

Speaker:

Objective means neutral in that respect and balanced and extracting meaning out

Speaker:

of the thing is finding the mean, the balance between the polarities.

Speaker:

And so your life has meaning every time you do that.

Speaker:

So I realized that this thing that I thought was terrible in them,

Speaker:

that I resented, wasn't.

Speaker:

The thing that I thought was so terrific that I was admiring, wasn't.

Speaker:

It was just an incomplete awareness.

Speaker:

And when I actually realized that nobody's worth putting in pits,

Speaker:

nobody's worth putting on pedestals,

Speaker:

but everybody's worth putting in hearts and have reflective awareness where I'm

Speaker:

not too proud or too humble to admit what I see, and I see both sides of it,

Speaker:

and I'm balancing the equation.

Speaker:

In the first phase of the method I'm balancing the equation between self and

Speaker:

other, the second I'm balancing the idea of positive and negative,

Speaker:

in self and other.

Speaker:

And then I'm balancing out the polarities of charged polarity.

Speaker:

It's called charged parity law in conservation law in physics.

Speaker:

And then I realized, you know, instead of me just judging them,

Speaker:

the real truth is I,

Speaker:

I watched the situation of my resentment to somebody one time,

Speaker:

then I looked inside myself where I'd done it.

Speaker:

And once I found the benefits where I had done it to whoever I had done the same

Speaker:

behavior to, I found myself not resentful to the individual. I realized that,

Speaker:

gosh, my resentment to myself,

Speaker:

my shame is actually causing me to resent somebody else that's reminding me of

Speaker:

it. And I want to avoid them.

Speaker:

And I realized that our impulses for pleasure and our

Speaker:

amygdala is skewing our reality and not allowing us to appreciate what's

Speaker:

actually there. And there's something magnificent there,

Speaker:

there's a hidden order there,

Speaker:

there's a love there that Leibniz was trying to say.

Speaker:

So I needed Paul Dirac's particle and anti particle physics and mathematics to

Speaker:

help put this model together. But I needed Leibniz to guide the path,

Speaker:

the dharmic path as the Buddha says, towards something that had deep meaning.

Speaker:

As Victor Frankel says in the concentration camps he found meaning,

Speaker:

when every body else was dying, he survived.

Speaker:

He thrived instead of just survival.

Speaker:

Then I started to go in there and identify wherever I had done the behavior,

Speaker:

look back of where and when I did it and looked how it served or disserved,

Speaker:

if I was infatuated with myself and proud, I looked at what was the downside.

Speaker:

So I calmed down my pride because if I don't calm myself down and don't have

Speaker:

self-governance on my own pride, I attract physiological,

Speaker:

psychological sociological or theological events to humble me,

Speaker:

pride before the fall.

Speaker:

And if I don't do the opposite when I'm shamed and look at the upsides of it,

Speaker:

I get again, physiological, psychological things lift me up.

Speaker:

Nature's always trying to equilibrate,

Speaker:

Saint Augustin mentioned that in his theology,

Speaker:

the will of God is equilibrium when the will of man matches the will of God or

Speaker:

will of man and woman, humans, match the will of God, is graced,

Speaker:

his life is graced, grateful. So I started going there and look at where,

Speaker:

and when I did it and helping my clients do that.

Speaker:

And then I realized that they were carrying around shame and guilt and pride,

Speaker:

and those are all personas. They're not real.

Speaker:

They're exaggerations or minimizations of who we are.

Speaker:

And the magnificence who we are as a total is far greater than any

Speaker:

fantasies or nightmares we'll put on ourselves.

Speaker:

So as I started to neutralize it,

Speaker:

I noticed that as I knocked out all my shames of all my guilts that I was

Speaker:

resenting in other people reminding me of,

Speaker:

I noticed my self worth went up and I was willing to hold onto money,

Speaker:

hold on to, have fair exchange and not give away stuff and I also noticed,

Speaker:

I was now willing to actually start having money work for me instead of me

Speaker:

always working for it and buying things to feel better about myself.

Speaker:

So that was a major breakthrough when I finally realized that self-governance is

Speaker:

what my executive center in the brain is trying to do,

Speaker:

is trying to mitigate the impulses and instincts of the subjective biases and is

Speaker:

trying to wake me up to the magnificence and the hidden order in my life.

Speaker:

Because all these things that I'm doing and they're doing,

Speaker:

no matter what I've done, or no matter what they've done, we're worthy of love,

Speaker:

and that's very powerful when you finally get that.

Speaker:

That's what the Demartini Method's about,

Speaker:

to help you realize there's something magnificent in your life and you don't

Speaker:

need fixing. You don't need self-improvement. You don't need it.

Speaker:

You just need to wake up because you only think you make a mistake when you

Speaker:

compare your actions to somebody outside that you've given power to,

Speaker:

whose values that you've injected.

Speaker:

And you only think other people make mistake when you

Speaker:

them and expected them to live in your values, they can't live in your values,

Speaker:

they live in their own. You can't live in other people's values,

Speaker:

you live in your own. Then I realized another thing,

Speaker:

I realized over time, that I heard a lot of people label people.

Speaker:

My mother was always mean, never nice.

Speaker:

And I noticed cancer patients had black and white,

Speaker:

all or none labels and language. I noticed that all the way back when I was 24,

Speaker:

when I was working as the president of the Cancer Prevention Control Association

Speaker:

in Houston, and I was going, wow,

Speaker:

the most primitive physiology,

Speaker:

the most extremophilic state of brain and cellular physiology,

Speaker:

is an absolute extremes. And so I thought, well, that's a subjective bias.

Speaker:

When an animal is out in the wild it's camouflaging itself from others,

Speaker:

and it's being camouflaged by its prey and predator. And in order to survive,

Speaker:

it has to have false positives, exaggerate it in order to get the adrenaline up,

Speaker:

strong enough to chase the prey and to avoid the predator.

Speaker:

So I realized that whenever I hear people say all or nones,

Speaker:

I know they're under high survival mode.

Speaker:

And they're really literally polarizing their view to all the way to infinity

Speaker:

over one and one over infinity, all or none. And I realized that's not,

Speaker:

that's not,

Speaker:

there's no phenomenological world that you can existentially touch that's

Speaker:

infinity. So when I hear that, I knew that's a lie.

Speaker:

So I started to ask the question, where is the other side?

Speaker:

Because if somebody is not always nice, I've gone up to people and said,

Speaker:

'Would you consider yourself always nice never mean, always kind never cruel,

Speaker:

always positive never negative, always peaceful, never wrathful?' And they go,

Speaker:

'No.' They can't have certainty about that, cause it's bullshit. And I say,

Speaker:

'You're always mean, never nice. Always cruel, never kind, always wrathful,

Speaker:

never peaceful?' 'No.' 'If I said to you sometimes you're nice,

Speaker:

sometimes you're mean, sometimes you're kind, sometimes you're cruel,

Speaker:

sometimes you're positive, sometimes negative, sometimes you're peaceful,

Speaker:

sometimes wrathful, would you believe me?' And they go, 'Yeah.' I say, well,

Speaker:

you only have certainty about yourself when you realize the two sides,

Speaker:

the balance of those, objectively, not subjective biases that are survival,

Speaker:

but objective thrivals.

Speaker:

So I basically went in there and I realized and started going and asking the

Speaker:

question,

Speaker:

go to a moment where and when you perceive this individual displaying or

Speaker:

demonstrating the specific trait, action,

Speaker:

inaction that you admired or despise most. Okay there.

Speaker:

Now who are they demonstrating it to? Okay to you,

Speaker:

they're cruel to you or you know, critical of you or something. Okay.

Speaker:

Now go to a moment where and when you perceived the same individual displaying

Speaker:

or demonstrating the exact opposite behavior to you, praising you.

Speaker:

And if they're critical about the way you're managing money,

Speaker:

where are they praising you about managing money?

Speaker:

I made people accountable to look at examples in their

Speaker:

and pretend it didn't exist and made them accountable to look,

Speaker:

and they discovered that the individual that they had labeled as always

Speaker:

something, always positive, always negative or whatever, weren't.

Speaker:

There were times when they were supportive and times when they were challenging,

Speaker:

and times when they were kind and times when they were cruel,

Speaker:

when you did things that supported their values, they were kind,

Speaker:

when you did things that challenged their values they were cruel.

Speaker:

And I'm that way, and you're that way, and we are that way as a human being.

Speaker:

We have a set of values, if we get supported, we can be pussycats.

Speaker:

If we get challenged strong enough, we can be tigers.

Speaker:

We are not one sided individuals. We're not personas, masks,

Speaker:

facades. We're a whole being. And I want to be loved for a whole being.

Speaker:

I don't want to be loved for only one side because I can't sustain it,

Speaker:

so I'm going to be sitting in bipolar states.

Speaker:

And bipolar condition's a byproduct of monopolar addiction,

Speaker:

the addiction to one sidedness and our society and all your life,

Speaker:

your grandmother probably said, be nice, don't be mean, be kind, don't be cruel,

Speaker:

and then she'd beat the hell out of grandpa and was a hypocritic. So you're,

Speaker:

you're told one thing that people live another,

Speaker:

and I'm not interested in these moral hypocrisies,

Speaker:

I'm interested in human behavior and how to master your freaking life.

Speaker:

And I'm not interested in all that. I found that as Dirac said,

Speaker:

back when I was 18, he says, it's not that we don't know so much.

Speaker:

It's we know so much that it isn't so. We're taught the opium of the masses,

Speaker:

the fantasies that make us easily controlled and governed into a

Speaker:

self depreciative state, striving for an unattainable goal. The Buddha says,

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

unavoidable is a source of human suffering.

Speaker:

And so we've been told that all our life,

Speaker:

but I'm not interested in the fantasies of traditions and conventions.

Speaker:

I'm interested in how human behavior works.

Speaker:

I spent 47 freaking years working on that. And I'm absolutely certain,

Speaker:

you're an objective being with both sides. And it's a waste of time. And I mean,

Speaker:

a freaking waste of time to try to get rid of half of yourself. And I,

Speaker:

and I have to pound that into people's head in my Breakthrough Experience

Speaker:

because people are addicted to fantasies and then they make nightmares out of

Speaker:

their life trying to be something they can't,

Speaker:

expecting others to be something they can't, expecting others to be one sided,

Speaker:

not going to happen.

Speaker:

When you finally embrace both sides and see that the individual's got both sides

Speaker:

and balance the equation, the labels go away.

Speaker:

And then you understand the individual and you want to know them about their

Speaker:

values, because if you know what their values are,

Speaker:

you can know what to expect from people.

Speaker:

Otherwise you're going to feel betrayed, and they don't betray you,

Speaker:

you do with unrealistic expectations of one sidedness,

Speaker:

expecting them to live in your values, not their own, expecting to be one,

Speaker:

one sided creatures, which isn't going to happen.

Speaker:

Not in a world that requires support and challenge for maximum growth,

Speaker:

not going to occur. Then I realized something 20 years ago,

Speaker:

something pretty profound.

Speaker:

One of the most profound realizations of my life when I was studying cell

Speaker:

physiology, I started studying redox reactions.

Speaker:

And I noticed that for every oxidation,

Speaker:

which is a loss of electrons to some atom molecule or ion there's a gain

Speaker:

of an electron somewhere else, which is a reduction. And one is an oxidation.

Speaker:

One's a reduction. And redoxes occur simultaneous,

Speaker:

they're entangled like particle and antiparticles,

Speaker:

and a light bulb went onto me.

Speaker:

And I realized that this is oxidative phosphorylation is one of the mechanisms

Speaker:

of energy in the body and life itself depends on it.

Speaker:

An excited atom has to go back to a ground state to give us energy.

Speaker:

And I realized that's what photons in the world,

Speaker:

that's what the sun is doing for us,

Speaker:

for cyanobacteria and up the food chain all the way to the alpha predator.

Speaker:

And I realized that wow,

Speaker:

I latched onto an insight and I realized,

Speaker:

and I started for the next couple of years,

Speaker:

I went on a research on myself again,

Speaker:

and I looked and all of a sudden two things had popped;

Speaker:

something I wrote when I was 24 in my 'Illusional Basis of Man's Health and

Speaker:

Disease' text on how perceptions are dealing with contrast,

Speaker:

Wundt's idea in psychology that I read at 22, 23,

Speaker:

and all of a sudden this light bulb just went on. I'm like, Oh,

Speaker:

I can't believe I missed this.

Speaker:

And I started to realize something that in Neuron Magazine in 2016,

Speaker:

another discoverer found out about it.

Speaker:

This is 16 years later after I'd found it,

Speaker:

found out that there's memories and anti memories and that there's electronic

Speaker:

and molecular chemical balancing going on in the brain,

Speaker:

even though the pharmaceutical industries have sold you a bill of goods and it's

Speaker:

a biochemical imbalance, the freaking truth is that's not fact.

Speaker:

And it's not a causal relationship to depression in psychiatry like they want to

Speaker:

sell you. You have perceptions, you can change your chemistry in seconds,

Speaker:

in billisecond,

Speaker:

you can change your chemistry by changing your perceptions and attitudes of

Speaker:

mind. This is what William James was trying to say. And Wundt.

Speaker:

So I basically discovered something. I realized that if I go to a moment where,

Speaker:

and when I perceive an individual displaying or

Speaker:

trait action, inaction, some specific traits that I despise or admire,

Speaker:

and I get where it is, when it is,

Speaker:

and I get really present with it because I realized that the conscious and

Speaker:

unconscious mind splits at the moment of perception.

Speaker:

And if I get really present in that moment,

Speaker:

at that exact moment and find out where it was, when it was,

Speaker:

that I perceived it, and what is the content of my perception?

Speaker:

What am I judging? And what's the context, what's it about?

Speaker:

So they may be criticizing me about my management of money,

Speaker:

how I spend money or manage money. And in that moment,

Speaker:

if I look carefully at what they're doing,

Speaker:

and I look for the reflective opposite, the complimentary opposite,

Speaker:

the exact opposite behavior at that moment, lo and behold,

Speaker:

my mind has the answer to who is doing the opposite to me,

Speaker:

it was a mind blowing realization.

Speaker:

I call it the Great Discovery because it's the greatest discovery ever made in

Speaker:

psychology. And I realized that it's either in reality or virtual reality,

Speaker:

it's one or many, male and female, closer or distant, virtual or real.

Speaker:

And if it's done to you, it's somebody other than you.

Speaker:

If it's done to somebody other, it could be you.

Speaker:

That means that whatever's going on in your life, there's a pair of opposites.

Speaker:

So if somebody is criticizing you, there's somebody praising you,

Speaker:

but you're unaware of it. When you're conscious of the criticism,

Speaker:

you're hurt and you feel angry. If you're conscious of the praise,

Speaker:

you're pleased and you feel pleased. But if you see both of them together side,

Speaker:

you realize that you're actually being given a moment of love.

Speaker:

Love is a synthesis and synchronicity of complementary opposites.

Speaker:

When you realize that that's all that goes on, 24 hours a day.

Speaker:

We have what is called a stream of consciousness as William James says,

Speaker:

and moment by moment, sliver by sliver, every billionth of a second or whatever,

Speaker:

a trillionth of a second, there's a sliver of conscious freezing you might say,

Speaker:

and we snapshot our reality and we gather information and we create what is

Speaker:

called a neuro associative complex in the brain from sensory input.

Speaker:

We then associate it with previous experiences that

Speaker:

you might call it a memory or a moment of perception.

Speaker:

And in that moment, whatever the content of that perception is,

Speaker:

the brain in order to neutralize the chemistry is because of the excitation of

Speaker:

neurons. It has to balance it,

Speaker:

the chemistry or otherwise it gets a runaway noise in

Speaker:

of what they call brain noise.

Speaker:

What happens is the brain creates a composite opposite

Speaker:

opposite. And when I finally realized that,

Speaker:

and I looked at that and I asked where it was for two years, I did it on myself.

Speaker:

And I did hundreds and hundreds of cases,

Speaker:

thousands of cases of moments in my life,

Speaker:

where I saw what was going on and where in my mind.

Speaker:

And when I did cases in rape and beatings and torture and things of that nature,

Speaker:

when I had clients that had gone through really quote, "traumatic experiences",

Speaker:

I found out that they dissociated and created a composite opposite in their

Speaker:

brain to counterbalance the chemistry in the brain in order to maintain

Speaker:

homeostasis. And so they were dissociating,

Speaker:

while they're being beaten for instance,

Speaker:

they would go and imagine themselves invincible, when they were in darkness,

Speaker:

they'd see light, they'd feel like they're, they're constrained,

Speaker:

they'd see freedom and act like a bird or a butterfly or fly or something.

Speaker:

And I watched these dissociative states,

Speaker:

the content of the dissociated state was counterbalancing the state that they

Speaker:

were experiencing in their so called trauma.

Speaker:

I also noticed in ecstatic drug use,

Speaker:

the ecstatic would create paranoias of the opposite.

Speaker:

And I realized that the mind is always maintaining pairs of opposites.

Speaker:

When I discovered that and proved that, thousands of cases in my own life,

Speaker:

and then clinically working with clients,

Speaker:

I discovered what I think is one of the greatest discoveries of human

Speaker:

psychology. And we live in a zoology of psychologies, it's a zoo,

Speaker:

perpetrator, innocent victim model.

Speaker:

And so we are separating causalities and blaming other people and no therapy

Speaker:

will ever be complete till cause equals effect in space time.

Speaker:

And so what happens is I went in there and I went in and identified exactly

Speaker:

where it was when it was, what it was, content context, who it was to,

Speaker:

and I looked for the other side and I found it every time.

Speaker:

I found it was either real or virtual,

Speaker:

but I found that it was complimentary opposites. And man,

Speaker:

I got tears of gratitude and I saw the same thing I got when I got with Leibniz

Speaker:

when I was 18 and I just went wow, this,

Speaker:

this is too profound not to share. It's just too profound.

Speaker:

And then I started clinically working with people with my method

Speaker:

more and more.

Speaker:

And I put it into the Breakthrough Experience where I begin to teach people

Speaker:

this. And the Breakthrough Experience I've done 1,107 times,

Speaker:

to try to get this message out to people because people are caught in this

Speaker:

fantasy and opium of quote "self-improvement" and get

Speaker:

try to be one sided in this moral constrained hypocrisy that we live in.

Speaker:

And we subject ourselves to traditions and conventions that are antiquated,

Speaker:

and aren't really human behavior at its highest, highest and finest.

Speaker:

And when I finally put that into place and put that in the Breakthrough

Speaker:

Experience, I watched transformations in people's lives.

Speaker:

I saw people see things they never saw before and all of a sudden,

Speaker:

when they saw the pairs of opposites, their heart opened,

Speaker:

and I realized that love is truly a synthesis and synchronicity of any

Speaker:

complimentary opposites. So whatever you perceive, the opposite's there,

Speaker:

and when you're doing something to somebody,

Speaker:

I looked again and when you were mean to somebody who was nice,

Speaker:

when you were nice, who was mean,

Speaker:

when you're rejecting somebody who is wanting them,

Speaker:

when you're stealing something who was being generous, when you were generous,

Speaker:

who was being stealing?

Speaker:

I blew people's minds by making them aware and show them that their intuition

Speaker:

always has that answer. We have what is called sensory awareness.

Speaker:

Then we have an intuitive, noospheric awareness, and most people,

Speaker:

I call it the immanent mind and the transcendent mind

Speaker:

higher mind, or the unreflective mind,

Speaker:

the pre reflective mind and the reflective mind,

Speaker:

depending on who you want to read their writings of.

Speaker:

And I realized that we have access to vast amount of knowledge and can find the

Speaker:

hidden order in the chaos. When I was 18,

Speaker:

I also read Boltzmann's work and Einstein's on a Brownian movement.

Speaker:

And I thought he never was satisfied with the idea of it just random systems.

Speaker:

I always believed that randomness was just not knowing all the variables and all

Speaker:

factors as Pascal described in his work.

Speaker:

So I basically sat there and I tried to find the hidden order in the apparent

Speaker:

chaos. And by God, when I found six and 13,

Speaker:

columns 6 and 13 of the Demartini Method,

Speaker:

and I found these synchronicities of opposites, I found a goldmine. And man,

Speaker:

it's hard,

Speaker:

it's hard not to share that with people because they run their life

Speaker:

as victims of history. Instead of masters of destiny,

Speaker:

they think there's chaos and their life is burdened and they don't see life on

Speaker:

the way they see it in a way. But when I show them this,

Speaker:

they realize there's nothing there out of order. They're graced,

Speaker:

they have meaning, they find the mean,

Speaker:

the pairs of the pairs of opposites joined. And there's enlightenment.

Speaker:

There's an aha. There's an inspiration. There's a metaphysical jump.

Speaker:

There's a, there's a, a true spirituality.

Speaker:

Spirituality is not a tribal thinking and not an anthropomorphism of some

Speaker:

religious dogma that's antiquated set up on Ptolemy's and Aristotle's view of

Speaker:

the world with primum mobiles, that's antiquated. Spirituality has no race,

Speaker:

creed, color, age, or sex limitations. It's transcendent.

Speaker:

It has no local language monoglotic constructs.

Speaker:

Its massively more vast than that. And,

Speaker:

and I feel that we no matter what your background is, what your tradition is,

Speaker:

there's a way now of discovering the magnificent intelligence of

Speaker:

the universe, the pan psychic intelligence,

Speaker:

the implicate order as David Bohm would describe

Speaker:

in the universe, by asking the right questions.

Speaker:

The quality of your life is based on the quality of the questions you ask,

Speaker:

cause questions make you conscious of the unconscious.

Speaker:

And then I went one step further on the next column.

Speaker:

And I I realized that as long as we were comparing our life to a fantasy of

Speaker:

one sidedness, we aren't gonna appreciate our life.

Speaker:

So I had to crack the fantasies and the nightmares that it was leading to.

Speaker:

So what I did is I said,

Speaker:

go to the moment where and when you perceive this individual displaying or

Speaker:

demonstrating the specific trait, action, inaction that you admire or despise.

Speaker:

Let's say you despise. And at that moment,

Speaker:

if they have done just the opposite of what you thought they did,

Speaker:

that you despised and you admired that, what would have been the drawback?

Speaker:

And I make them go into that moment.

Speaker:

So that's where the moment where their intuition can answer that question

Speaker:

without speculation. And go in there, what would be the drawback?

Speaker:

And when they answer that, they go to the drawbacks of that.

Speaker:

They break the fantasy of how it could and should have been, cause the could,

Speaker:

should, and would have been's or whatever is interfering with the way it is.

Speaker:

Anytime you compare your reality to a fantasy of how it should have been,

Speaker:

you're not grounded in reality. What it is, is what it is.

Speaker:

How does that serve you? How is what's happening right now,

Speaker:

fulfilling your life? Not how has it, how is it should be like it used to be,

Speaker:

or should be like I want it to be, or fantasize about it, but how is it worth?

Speaker:

By cracking the fantasies,

Speaker:

which is Column 14 in the Demartini Method and the nightmares,

Speaker:

because when we're admiring somebody,

Speaker:

if we were actually frightened of it's opposite,

Speaker:

if we found the benefits of the opposite, we not only dissolve the infatuation.

Speaker:

Cause when we infatuate with people,

Speaker:

we minimize ourselves and then try to live in their values and then self

Speaker:

depreciate.

Speaker:

So infatuations are just as devastating to mastery of life as resentments.

Speaker:

And both of them occupy your mind and run you.

Speaker:

So I clear those in the last columns.

Speaker:

And those are the first 14 columns of the Demartini Method.

Speaker:

There's about 70 columns in this whole method,

Speaker:

I'm not going to take the time to go through all, but those are the main ones.

Speaker:

And then I went on further and I realized that there's another eight comms

Speaker:

dealing with gain and loss.

Speaker:

I realized that we only perceive loss of things we infatuate with.

Speaker:

And we only perceive gain of things we, when we're infatuated with it,

Speaker:

but if we all of a sudden aren't infatuated with something,

Speaker:

we don't fear it's loss. See if we're infatuated with somebody,

Speaker:

we fear they're going to leave us.

Speaker:

If we're resentful to somebody we fear they're going to come close to us.

Speaker:

If we're resentful to somebody, we hope they leave us.

Speaker:

We look forward to leaving us. We're not, we're not frightened of that.

Speaker:

And when we're resentful to somebody, when we're not resentful to somebody,

Speaker:

we don't have a fear of them coming near us.

Speaker:

So we're going to be run by external worlds by when we judge.

Speaker:

So I developed further in another eight columns,

Speaker:

how to dissolve grief and relief and how to dissolve these infatuations and

Speaker:

resentments and how to realize nothing's missing in your life.

Speaker:

And I've taught that now I've taken three,

Speaker:

no 3,576 people who've

Speaker:

lost loved ones and shown them how to dissolve grief.

Speaker:

And it's an average about one hour, one hour and 15 minutes to two hours,

Speaker:

max of three hours. And it's a science, it's reproducible.

Speaker:

It's been studied now at Keio University in Japan.

Speaker:

It's been demonstrated in hundreds, and hundreds, thousands of cases. And man,

Speaker:

anyway, that's another eight columns plus 14,

Speaker:

that's 22 columns right there of human transformation and it's

Speaker:

profound. And when you're done with it,

Speaker:

all you can sit is sit in awe with a tear in your eye. You'll have gratitude.

Speaker:

You'll have love. You'll be inspired. You'll be thankful. You'll feel certain.

Speaker:

You'll be present. And you realize it was,

Speaker:

there was a hidden order in the apparent chaos, a magnificence.

Speaker:

And this is what Leibniz was saying. My dream of finding that thing,

Speaker:

that Leibniz said,

Speaker:

that sense that I was destined to find that and be one of those people to do

Speaker:

that. Once I found a science to that, and now I can share that,

Speaker:

there's no human being that can't have that.

Speaker:

There's no human being that can't have the ability to see both sides and see the

Speaker:

synchronicities of opposites and be grateful for their life.

Speaker:

Everything is ultimately on the way.

Speaker:

I really believe that the universe has panpsychically intelligent and doing what

Speaker:

it can to assist us in doing something magnificent with our life,

Speaker:

to help us live authentic and inspired lives. And some people think, well,

Speaker:

that's crazy, because they're victims.

Speaker:

They want to run the story and they want to blame things.

Speaker:

I've never seen blame of an external source causing you whatever this

Speaker:

delusion you have. And some heroes, some fantasy individual, some,

Speaker:

some saviour on the outside to save you, a magic bullet,

Speaker:

like the magic bullet in medicine. Those are bullshit.

Speaker:

They're not what makes it happen. The hero out there is not outside you.

Speaker:

The villain out there is not outside you. They're completely inside you.

Speaker:

And they're not even really heroes and villains.

Speaker:

They're two parts of your nature that you must have in order to master your

Speaker:

life. Anyway, I could go on for longer,

Speaker:

but I just wanted to share the magnificence of that

Speaker:

development of the method that I've now taken thousands,

Speaker:

literally tens and tens of thousands of people through.

Speaker:

And I hope to share that with you live so you can get to see yourself cause once

Speaker:

you learn it, you'll realize it's not something you're going to throw away.

Speaker:

You're going to put this into your life and use it over and over again.

Speaker:

And we've got a new app that's soon going to be released about it,

Speaker:

but please find a way of coming and learning,

Speaker:

come to the Breakthrough Experience or whatever to learn how to put it in

Speaker:

operation, because this is a very powerful tool. It's real true science.

Speaker:

I've worked very hard on it for 47 years and it works.

Speaker:

It freaking works and it's revolutionizing psychology. It is.

Speaker:

And it deserves to,

Speaker:

because of what's going on in psychology and in psychiatry is not doing the job,

Speaker:

but now we have something that can. So I just wanted to share that with you.

Speaker:

I hope you have a wonderful day and you may have to watch this a few times.

Speaker:

I probably spoke a lot faster than you wanted, but I just,

Speaker:

I just wanted to share that because it's my life's work. And so that,

Speaker:

but that's the 22 sections out of about 70 or so more columns that I put

Speaker:

together on every,

Speaker:

I'd want to find the solutions to mastering life and the

Speaker:

human behavior. And I,

Speaker:

and I know this is something that you're going to put into your life,

Speaker:

It's going to be helpful to you.

Speaker:

So thank you for spending time with me and being with me on this particular

Speaker:

presentation, The Amazing Power of The Demartini Method.

Speaker:

So I look forward to seeing you at the next little gathering we have,

Speaker:

conversation that I get to share. Okay.

Speaker:

Have a super incredible day and think deeply about what I said and find a way of

Speaker:

learning how to do the method. It will change your life.
