The more profound the insult to the person

that is connected to a strong emotion the more the brain freezes circuitry the more we think about the experience the more we fire and wire the circuits in our brain yes or no and the more we remember the event the more we produce the emotions that are associated with it and we're conditioning the brain and body further into the past

yes or no And you keep doing it enough times, it's no longer conscious that you're holding a grudge. It's no longer conscious that you're stuck. Now you're seeing everybody through the lens of that experience, and everybody's a betrayer. Everybody can't be trusted. Everybody is that same person. You're overlaying the memory of your experience into reality. You're not seeing it the way it is.

You're seeing that person wearing the mask of the last person. That's the lens that we're perceiving reality. Are you with me still? And so then anything in your life that becomes remotely close to it based on your limited perception triggers the emotion and the network and you're back in your past and you're acting like you were when it happened. Are you with me still? And so then the person says, I'm not that person.

And you say, oh, no, I know. I just had this event in my past, and I'm sorry. And then it's excusable, but then here it happens again. And there's nothing wrong with this. We all do it. It's just how do we overcome it? So then you're sitting and doing the work, and you're moving energy up those centers.

You're releasing the life force into your brain. You are blessing those centers and taking a scoom. and moving it all the way up and releasing it all the way up into the field. You're opening the channel. You're unfolding as nobody, no one, no thing, nowhere, and no time, and the identity and the personality is gone.

Energy's going to move. It's got to it's going to follow the path. You're opening your heart. Once it gets to your heart, it's going to make its way all the way up. And when you feel love and compassion, when you feel true, true kindness and care, it's hard to hold a grudge. Are you with me still?

Yes. So then from a quantum physics point of view, you have that person always in the back of your mind, right? You have the event and the memory rolling around back there because the very thing that you don't want to have happen you're already preparing for emotionally. Are you with me still? So then from a quantum perspective, you are actually as a creator of reality holding yourself hostage because of that person.

And you are holding them hostage because of that experience. And you have an energetic bond that's connecting you to them. And you're sharing the same energy. And so then you're using each other to reaffirm whatever that energetic agreement is. Are you with me still? So then when you forgive someone, it's because there's been a strong change in your emotional state because the emotion is what's keeping you energetically bound to them or to more than one person. And so then once you start lowering the volume to that emotion and the body starts

liberating energy and you're calling your energy back to you because the lower the volume of the emotion, the less you're going to pay attention to that person, there comes a moment where there's a snap, there's a release. The energy is broken. And once it's broken now, all of a sudden, you free yourself and you free them. And this has happened to me in my life. The people show up 10 years later, completely changed and so humble and so asking for forgiveness just because they had transformed and I let them go. So then forgiveness from a quantum perspective and a neurophysiological,

perspective is just taking your attention off them. That's all it is. And when you start getting happy with yourself and you start feeling those elevated emotions because you're striving for that, you wouldn't trade this for the grudge you were holding because this feels too good. Are you with me still? Now, once that heart opens up and you start having energy in the center and it's releasing 1,300 to 1,400 different chemicals that begin to restore and regenerate the body. The body start getting a lift of energy. Once it makes it here,

now you're going to see that track sending energy to the brain. The heart acts as an amplifier to boost the brain. Are you with me still? So then once the energy starts making its way into the brain, once the heart starts to open, we've measured this with our students. They have oxytocin levels rise. Once you start feeling oxytocin,

when you feel more love, then you feel the grudge. So then you think, why would I want to give this up for that person? That's called forgiveness. You don't have to try to do it. It just is the side effect of your personal transformation. And oxytocin then, when it's released, rushes right into the amygdala.

The survival center of the brain, and the research is outstanding. And the first thing it does is it fits in the same receptor sites as fear, and it lowers the volume to fear. and anxiety. It shuts the lights out for aggression and anger and hostility, and it cools the circuits off for suffering and pain, and the only thing you can feel is a love for life. And that's when you're free. Now, the practice of forgiveness matter to matter, you can do it, but it takes a long time and a lot of work. And then you forgive, and then you're

like, I don't want to forgive him. Halfway forgive them. And just never really, really authentic forgiveness do you understand and you know there was a woman that came to our work and she was raped by four men when she was a teenager and it was abusive and she had severe severe night terrors severe anxiety and panic attacks she had had cyclic mood problems. She had been to every single doctor, every single healer, every single alternative practitioner, nothing changed it.

She came to our event in Tacoma, Washington. And she hit that point where she became everybody, everyone, everything, everywhere, every time, every place. She became the oneness. And that frequency had a message for her, said, and she was an incredible bliss when this happened. I sent four angels disguised as rapists for this moment. And that was the end of her terrors.

That was the end of her night. She couldn't have a relationship. She couldn't. She could not live with anybody. She was isolated. One moment, the divine stepped in and gave her the signal. That was carrying a very specific message. and she got the download, not just the thought.

She got the energy move right through her body, and she saw the whole thing. And that moment is what she was waiting for. That's what the soul was waiting for. Now she's healed, she's healthy, she's happy, and she's on with a new life. She's born again. My mother would love this. She's born again in the same life.

Reborn in the same life. Didn't pass to a birth canal for it. She just was born again in the same life. She got a new lease in one instant. That energy was carrying a message, and it made its way all the way into the body, and the bliss and the joy and the gratitude and the love that she felt. And the message that was carried would have made total sense to her. She's free.

One instant. To me, that's true forgiveness. So you can look at the world wars, you can look at all the terrorism and all the other mad wars that are being fought as just a question of degrees of unconsciousness, not different. So when you go into that state of unconsciousness,

it takes you over, you lose it, So basically then that is the same energy field that has created what we see as the madness of human history, and what we see of the madness of the so-called world news. The same energy, so don't complain about all these violent people who are doing all these dreadful things. all that it is is human are unconsciousness in a more pronounced form than yours or your

partners and so that helps a little bit to find perhaps almost some compassion towards all these crazy people that are doing such crazy things and creating such terrible suffering. Now if you become compassionate towards them, don't worry. It doesn't mean that they will not experience the consequences of their unconsciousness. That still happens. By being compassionate to another human being, you don't necessarily remove the karmic consequences of their action.

but you yourself become free from being drawn into the calmic cycle. So the act of forgiveness does not mean that this person is not going to suffer the consequences. But life makes sure in whatever form that they do suffer the consequences of the suffering that they inflict on other human beings. It's a calmic law.

But if you don't want to be part of that anymore, if you want to step out of the calmic law, the first step out of the, and the most important step out of the calmic law is forgiveness. Then you do not feed it, you don't become part of it. That's why traditionally in spiritual teachings of various traditions, forgiveness is always emphasized.

It must be real though. There are many forms of superficial forgiveness when just the mind is, okay, I forgive you. It's not deep, it's not real yet. The mind is trying to forgive. But you can only forgive if you realize that whatever actions have been perpetrated are the effects of human unconsciousness.

In other words, what Jesus said on the cross or is reported to have said, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Very profound statement. It is a profound statement that can be applied to any act of violence perpetrated against other humans or life forms. Forgive them, for they know not what they do. Not knowing what they do, of course, means they are unconscious. The word unconscious probably in that sense wasn't used at the time. So he said they don't know what they do. Karmic law still operates, but without you.

And you can notice Karmic law when you see a movie, Some movies like to manipulate your emotions. And so there are particular types of movies where first they build up the tension by showing you some very evil person. And this evil person is killing all these people or hurting all these people. And then you're being manipulated to feel

that incredible pull that this person should suffer for what he or she has done. the manipulation. And the audience loves that. They love watching things like that. So then the emotion builds up. And finally, there are even some movies like the movies that, about vigilantes

who take justice in their own hands because the justice system doesn't deal with the criminals anymore. So finally you have this guy who goes out and kills all the bad guys. And your emotions have been manipulated so much that the audience says, yes, yes, he must die, not realize, now what you are feeling,

this incredible, it might also happen if you read about some dreadful crime that somebody has committed, and then if you read it on the internet, you can read on some news websites, you can read the comment section, and in the comment section, every other comment says,

We should have the death penalty, he needs to say electric chair, he needs to be done to what he did, they should do to him, and all these, and this is an enormous pressure that people feel inside, and this is connected to calmic law, because there's a compensatory factor in calmic law, and you can feel that as the pressure inside you,

but it keeps you trapped in karma. So in that sense, watching these movies is not helpful because it keeps you trapped in that wheel of karma. So they don't teach forgiveness there. So this is, we are talking about something very important and that is dealing with human unconsciousness and what looks like evil. So there are many things that are quite dreadful. So how do we, how does that affect our state of consciousness and what role does our state of consciousness

play in this whole scenario? It does have a role to play. So it's for us important that we are no longer part of action and reaction because the definition of karma is action. Karma means action and reaction. And it goes on and on. And as you can see in certain societies and so on, the karmic thing goes on, goes back centuries and centuries, the same grievance transmitted

from one generation to the next, and the next and the next, and they are all asleep. This is why spiritual teaching say, you are asleep. They are all so unconscious, they get taken over by the collective mental emotional pattern and the mental story. They just inherit it from their parents, and then they pass it on to their children.

And then each generation suffers, they suffer, they call much suffering, for each other. And at some point, the suffering becomes almost unbearable for certain people within that society. And that's the beginning of a shift when it gets too much. So suffering drives humans to a point of awakening. That's a strange paradox here is the suffering is

created by the unconsciousness in humans, but in some strange way, eventually it wakes you up, it awakens you. That's the redeeming feature behind the suffering that humans create for each other. Eventually it leads to a spiritual awakening. So it all is a good thing to realize. It all comes down to your state of consciousness and how you relate to the people around you. And that spreads.

That is what creates the world. And even how you react to when you listen to the world news has certain influence because all human minds are connected at a deeper level. So the way in which you react to what you're you hear on the world news contributes either to the unconsciousness. If you get on your computer or the iPad and you type in, this guy does not deserve to live, he should be,

die slowly and they should torture him. Then you become part of the same karma. If you've ever done that, please forgive yourself. And if you enjoy reading those comments, also forgive yourself. Thank you for tuning in. Continue strengthening your mind by listening to our other episodes.
