If your personality creates your personal reality, and it does, and your personality is made up of how you think, how you act, and how you feel, then the present personality who's listening to this podcast has created the present personal reality called their life. Nothing big there. Which means if you want to change your personal reality, you're going to have to... Welcome to the School of Greatness. My name is Lewis Howes, a former pro athlete turned lifestyle entrepreneur. And each week we bring you an inspiring person or message to help you discover how to unlock your inner greatness. Thanks for spending some time with me today.

Now let the class begin. Welcome to this special masterclass. We brought some of the top experts in the world to help you unlock the power of your life through this specific theme today. It's going to be powerful, so let's go ahead and dive in. What happens if we try to create from survival emotions? It just takes a long time. You'll just force it. Little steps at a time.

You'll force it. You'll force it. You'll fight for it. You'll compete for it. You'll manipulate. You'll cheat. You'll lie. You'll do anything to get what you want because that's what matter does when it's trying to change matter.

And everybody's playing that game, right? Everybody's trying to accumulate the most amount of things. Right. Okay, so that's what abundance means to certain people. Get as many things as you can. Okay. You want that? Not a problem, but let's learn the formula of how to create, right? So then you'd have to feel those emotions before the experience occurred. And if you understood that you could dissociate all of your attention from this three-dimensional reality and have no attention on anything known

and understand it's the field that creates matter, not matter that emits the field. And if you could get to that place and change your energy with a clear intention and elevated emotion, your heart starts beating in this beautiful rhythm like a drum. We've measured it so many times and when that occurs, the next thing that happens, the heart

informs the brain it's safe to create now. So the person relaxes into the present moment and then we see this like if you took a big sheet in a blanket and you went like that, the energy of the heart actually informs the brain to move into these beautiful, elegant states of alpha brainwave patterns. Coherent alpha. And that's saying, what's the next dream? What is it? What's the next opportunity you want to experience? That's a state of creation.

So now you have a Wi-Fi signal. You got a coherent brain. That's a directive. That's a signal out.. You got a coherent brain. That's a directive. That's a signal out. And you got this coherent heart. That's what draws it to us, right? You combine those two. And if there's a vibrational match between your energy and that potential in the quantum field,

and you're feeling abundant, and whatever your brain associates with being abundant, that's your call. That's what the creative process is. This is the creative center. The brain frontal lobe actually says, what would it be like to be creative or abundant? I don't know what it would be like to be abundant. Well, then go read a few books on people who actually became abundant and realized it wasn't a glorious process. They failed miserably.

They got betrayed. They learned a lot of lessons, but they persevered. And what are the qualities of that person that you could embody? That's the key, right? Because it's not about wealth. It's who you become, right? Because people think it's about their wealth, but it's the becoming process. It's the overcoming.

You got attracted to that, right? Of course. So then you've got to turn the battleship around because most people say, I can't feel grateful for my wealth because it hasn't happened yet. That's the hypnosis. Waiting for the experience to happen to feel grateful. Well, that's Newtonian. That's three-dimensional reality. That's cause and effect.

In quantum, you've got to feel it in order for you to experience it. Okay? So this heart becomes like an amplifier and it sends that signal out and that frequency can carry the thought of your abundance. Suffering cannot carry the thought of your abundance. Lack cannot carry the thought of your abundance. It's a different frequency. We feel different feelings like suffering.

We think different thoughts. So people can say I'm abundant, I'm abundant, I I'm abundant abundant abundant abundant all they want but that thought is never making it to the body because it's stopping at the brainstem because the body's saying I'm miserable I'm unhappy I'm in lack right so so the affirmation doesn't work right okay so let's go one step further yes so if you practice this and you actually understood you know well we teach this pretty well but if you if you learned it just like learning how to play handball or learning how to hit a golf ball, learning how to dance a

salsa, you just practiced the form, you got really good at it. If you were doing it properly then, what would be the outcome? The experiment of being abundant would be that you would have to feel that feeling. It's so good at doing it with your eyes closed. You got to do it with your eyes open. Now, why? Because if you're feeling the feelings of your emotions of your future, you're no longer looking for them. Because you're in the future now.

Your body is so objective that it's believing it's living in that reality where you are abundant. And as long as you feel that emotion, you're not separate from it any longer. You're no longer in lack. You're no longer looking for it to occur and say, why hasn't it happened yet? If you're feeling abundant, why would you look? Right? So then our job then is to be able to maintain that modified state of mind and body.

So does that mean like you should check your bank account tomorrow and see if there's a half a million dollars in it? No. You keep tuning into that potential and then here come the synchronicities. What's that? That's feedback in your environment. The universe saying, hey, Lewis, whatever you're doing, all of a sudden you're starting to create, right? And I think it's so important for people to remember that they're the creators of their lives instead of the victim of their lives, right? So the victim is saying, I'm feeling this way because that person or that circumstance

or I don't have any money is causing me to feel this way. That's my relationship with money. What that really means is I'm using my lack to reaffirm my dependency, my addiction, my conditioning. That's my relationship with money is that I put my attention on money because I don't have it. So the relationship with money is, of course, built on lack. And so when they don't have it, they feel bad. And what they're really saying is my outer environment, my reality is actually controlling the way I feel and the way I think. So, Lewis, why are you in a good mood today?

Things are going good. Why are you in a bad mood? Things are going bad today. So, this unconscious program of victimization is saying that we're allowing our environment to influence the way we feel and the way we think. Isn't that what victimization is? the way we feel and the way we think. Isn't that what victimization is? And the stronger the emotion we have to our lack,

the more we put our attention on the fact that we don't have it, right? So then the person has forgotten that they're creating reality because what they're creating is lack. And they're creating more of it. And then they try harder and they force harder and they control more. And they're more exhausted and their body's tired. And they're breaking down. Right. So the experiment then is let's try it another way.

Let's create from the field instead of from matter. Get a coherent heart. Get a coherent brain. Relax in the heart. And energy moves right into the brain. We've measured this a thousand times. And all of a sudden the person moves into these beautiful, elegant brainwave states where they're super creative. Right?

So the longer you're conscious of that energy, the more you draw that future to you. So then what does the synchronicity mean? It means whatever you're doing inside of you is producing that effect outside of you. Pay attention to what you did, and do it again. So generate a little bit more abundance.

Just do it for an experiment. Now, when the synchronicity happens, do you think you feel suffering or do you think you feel a little excitement? You feel inspired, right? So then that synchronicity is saying use this energy use this feeling it should be easier for you to feel this now and go back and do it again keep the experiment going and here comes the promotion here comes the here comes the email here comes the person you meet at the right

time right well we have something happening here. And then that becomes the momentum, right? So then we generate abundance. That's how we do it. And the relationship- It doesn't just happen by accident. We generate it. We generate abundance, right? So then if you have an hour meditation where you're tuning into your abundant future, but then you're spending the other 15 hours a day in lack don't expect anything to change you defaulted you're back to the old energy and if you say it's that person or that circumstance or that bank account I'm gonna say you're back to the unconscious program of being a victim right and so then so then so then let's go a step further if your personality

creates your personal reality and and it does, and your personality is made up of how you think, how you act, and how you feel, then the present personality who's listening to this podcast has created the present personal reality called their life. Nothing big there. Which means if you want to change your personal reality, you're going to have to change your personality. Nothing changes in your life until you change, right? So then 95% of who we are is on autopilot, right? It's programmed thoughts, hardwired thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, unconscious habits and behaviors, and really, really emotional responses that tend to be really knee-jerk and automatic, right? So if 95% of who we are is a set of unconscious programs,

then the first step to change is becoming conscious of those unconscious thoughts. Now people think when they sit down to do the work and make their change that they're doing something wrong. No, those thoughts have to come up. I can, I'm not worthy, it's never going to work. But the person who's truly persevering towards their abundance realizes just because they have that thought doesn't mean it's true. They're curious on what's on the other side of that thought. Ah, well, that's just the thought, right? And nerve cells that no longer fire together, no longer wire together.

So you keep moving past that thought, it has less and less power over you, right? Now you have power over it, or better yet, you're using your brain in the proper way instead of being a victim to your brain, right? If you complain about money, if you judge people who have it, if you rush when you're in lack, if you cheat when you don't have what you need an abundant person doesn't do that you got to look at that and say I gotta break these habits oh my god if I truly want to be abundant I can't act this way now here's the big one if if I truly want to be a new personality that's in a new personal reality I can a new personal reality, I can't take lack with me. I can't take unworthiness.

I can't take the story that goes along with it with my parents or my grandparents or my ex or whatever. That story has to end, right? I mean, if not now, when, right? How do people end those stories? Well, of course. Well, how many times do we have to forget until we stop forgetting and start remembering? That's the game, right? That's the game called change. How many times do we have to go unconscious and default to that old personality when we catch ourselves and stop doing that and get conscious? That's the moment of change. So the problem is,

is that most people wake up in the morning and they think, let me think of my problems, right? The brain is a record of the past, right? So they think about their problems. They don't have enough money. And those problems are usually connected to certain people at certain places with certain objects and certain things. What didn't work out or who screwed me over. So the moment they wake up, the moment they remember those problems, they're thinking

in the past. So now they're firing and wiring the memory. They're keeping the memory of the past alive in their mind. The problem is every one of those memories has an emotion associated with it because we've experienced it. So when they feel the lack, when they feel the unhappiness, when they feel the anxiety, now the body's in the past.

Thoughts being the language of the brain, feelings being the language of the body, how we think and how we feel creates our state of being but the conditioning process starts because conditioning only needs a thought and a feeling a memory or an image and an emotion and a stimulus and response and you're conditioning your body to become the mind of that emotion and now the the memory is not in the brain now the memory is buried subconsciously in the body. And the body becomes the mind of that emotion. So the body is living in lack.

And it's believing. The body is. Is that through the nervous system or is that through the cells? Neurochemicals. Everything. So the body is so objective that it does not know the difference between the real-life experience that's creating the lack and the emotion that you're creating by thought alone called lack. The body is believing it's living the same past experience every day.

Why? Because the end product of an experience is an emotion. Well, if your life is changing but you're still feeling lack, don't expect anything to change. You won't even see it. You'll walk right past it. You're viewing your life through the lens of the past. Okay? So, okay, so then the person realizes that all their friends are making money and they're doing stuff.

And they're like, wow, I'm really feeling lack now. So then when it no longer becomes about your abundance and it becomes about your change that's a valuable moment when it's no longer about your healing but it's about your change I paid attention to a lot of people and in the last couple years tell their story the people who heal in this work from cancers and all kinds of chronic health conditions and Parkinson's and strokes and paralysis and all kinds of things, rare genetic disorders. It never was about, when they really got in the game, it was never about their healing.

It was about, what do I need to change in order to heal? When the game goes like that, so then the person who's feeling lack on some level or another, it's not just in the mind, it's in the body, right? Let me hear you say that again. When someone's looking for abundance, it's never about the abundance. It's about the change they need to make for healing. No. I'm using healing as an example.

Yes. But let's use abundance as an example. When you understand that you cannot get abundant, when it's no longer about the game called abundance, it's about the game called change. What do I need to change? The more I change, the more I'll be abundant. Yes.

So then it's no longer about how come it hasn't happened. That's the old personality, separate from the experience, still in lack, asking that question. Which is creating your current reality. Which is reaffirming it because that's the lens you're perceiving it through. Okay, so...

So we should be focusing more on what we need to change every moment as opposed to the abundance or the healing. Well, the word meditation means to become familiar with. Sit with yourself long enough and not turn on your cell phone, not scroll through your social media and do no TikTok, no emails,

none of that stuff. Don't, just sit and close your eyes and watch the thoughts that come up. That's the exact reason why you're not abundant. Watch what you want to do when you're feeling lack to take away the lack and there's always something you would do to take it away. But sit with the lack and be curious on what's on the other side of it, right? Because the body's programmed into lack now subconsciously, right? So the emotion of lack drives our thoughts and drives our behaviors.

So it makes sense then that if an emotion is a record of the past, then we're doing things habitually from the past. We're thinking in the past, right? So lower the volume to the emotion every time you notice lack comes up. And just like breaking any addiction, there's going to be cravings, right? So the body's going, hey, Lewis, it's been about two hours. You're so used to doing this. Yeah, you've been thinking lacking thoughts about 150,000 times a day, and you're just going to stop. The body's going to start influencing the mind and saying it's not going to work.

You're a loser. It didn't work before. It's too hard. Everybody else. That's why it's so hard for people to lose weight or get in shape because you might try it for a few days and then the cravings or I'm tired and I want to go default back into the old personality. Because why?

Because the body which has been conditioned, the mind, the body is the unconscious mind. So the body's got used to the familiar feeling. They don't even know it's lack. It's just how they feel. It's not guilt. Okay, so let me finish. Okay, so the hardest part about all of this is making a different choice. And the moment you decide to make a different choice, get ready, it's going to feel uncomfortable.

It's going to feel unfamiliar. Your body's all of a sudden saying, hey, Lewis, why don't you start thinking those same exact thoughts, do the same things, make the same choices, demonstrate the same behaviors, have the same experiences. So you could feel that feeling of lack, complain again to somebody, call somebody up and say how miserable your life is, right? And that's the known, right? So the body is always influencing the mind to return back to the familiar territory. Through a default. Through a default, okay. All right, so now the person says, okay, what thoughts do I not want?

What would an abundant person think this way? The people in our work that have created. I had a guy come to our event. I love this guy. He healed himself. He tried to take his life three times when he told me that when he came to our work He didn't have two dollars to rub together. He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars Wow, and just keeps

Giving it away His his lesson his lesson was that wasn't the wealth, it was who he became. So it's the overcoming process that is the becoming process. Who did he become in that journey? Exactly. He had to get beyond all of those thoughts of his past, all the mistakes he made, all the things he did wrong, all the money he owed, all of that. That was like, he just had to no longer be that person any longer.

But he did say, how would a wealthy person live? And when he created his wealth, what do you think the first thing he did? Started giving? Giving it away. Why? Because an abundant person doesn't have any lack. And he knows how to create more of it. And he's in the experiment.

Well, what would happen if I keep giving it away he keeps getting more that's a good experiment to have because that he is actually living in that abundant state he also had tremendous healings taking place because when you heal your heart heal your mind I mean it's just the way it is we saw it so many times right so he healed his heart he got an upgrade he got an upgrade right so then the next fundamental question is, how would an abundant person think? Write it down, dude,

and fire and wire those thoughts in your brain and install the hardware. Keep doing it with attention and intention. It becomes the new voice in your head. It becomes a software program. Then say, okay, how am I going to be in my life today? What would an abundant person, how would they behave? And before you reach for your cell phone

and start scrolling through your social media, close your eyes and rehearse in your mind how that person would walk, how they would breathe, how they would smile, how they would greet people, how they would be on Zoom calls, how would they be in traffic, how would they be at dinner. And the act of closing your eyes and mentally rehearsing the act, if you're truly present, the brain does not know the difference between the real life experience and what you're imagining. In fact, just a little bit of time, you start to install the neurological hardware to look like you already did it. Now the brain is no longer a record of the past. It's primed for the future. Keep doing it.

Keep rehearsing. No different than playing an instrument. No different than learning how to dance. No different than learning how to act or play a sport. Everybody's always rehearsing, right? The rehearsal process changes the brain to look like you've already done it. You've already experienced it. Now, what's the essential part of that?

The hardware is in place. Now, all you got to do is step into the footprint. Keep doing it. It becomes a software program. You start acting like an abundant person. Everything changes. Your energy changes. Your mood changes.

The way you walk, the way you breathe, your posture changes. You're out of the known, right? You got to condition the body now emotionally into the future. You can't open your eyes in the morning until you are feeling worthy to receive. And if you can't feel worthy to receive, then if not now, when? If it takes you two hours to get there, ask me if it's worth 30 years of running, trying to get what you need matter to matter. Okay, so then the person who wrestles with their lack, they're out of the bleachers. And they're on the playing field.

Here's what we learned. Here's what we learned. Let's go back to beliefs now. So remember, belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again. A belief is something that you keep thinking enough times that you hardwired in your brain and it becomes an automatic program. And we have beliefs about all kinds of things. Money, relationships, God, whatever it is. It's all based on what we've been told or our past experiences, right?

The boundaries of those beliefs are our emotions, right? So let's just say you got betrayed or somebody abused you or your father told you that money was bad and there's never enough of it or whatever. That's a story, okay? But somehow it left an impression on you. Remember that event very clearly and that's kind of rooted in who you are, right? Okay, so that emotion then is the boundary of our belief, okay? So how you think and how you feel creates your state of being. If you take a thought and a feeling, a thought and a feeling, a thought and a feeling, a thought and a feeling, that's called an attitude. A series of good thoughts with a series of good

feelings, you say I have a good attitude today. You have a series of negative thoughts that are connected to a series of negative feelings, you say I have a bad attitude today. So attitudes are just shortened states of being. Good attitude in the like, bad attitude today. So attitudes are just shortened states of being. Good attitude in the morning, bad attitude in the afternoon. If you take an attitude, an attitude, an attitude, and you keep those up, and you string attitudes together, you create what's called a belief. And a belief is just an extended state of being.

So if you keep thinking the same thought, you keep hardwiring it in the brain, you keep feeling the same feeling, you keep conditioning in your body, the redundancy of that cycle over and over again conditions the body to subconsciously become the mind of that belief. And all beliefs are subconscious states of being. Okay. Take a belief, a belief, a belief, and you string them together, you form what's called a perception. And perceptions are just such extended states of

being that we're unconscious and so then we we edit out reality in fact most people don't see things the way they are they see things the way they are right and people are always filling in reality unconsciously based on their memory they could be married to a person for 40 years and they don't see the person. They see the memory of the person. And there's research to prove this. So how do we change a belief or perception about ourself or our lives?

We've studied this. Let's just say that lack is ingrained in there. You got the story. You lived on the streets. You lost everything. You got betrayed. Your business partner took everything. Took your wife. You got the story you lived on the streets you lost everything you got betrayed your business partner took everything took your wife took you got the story in the half okay okay you got to

start telling the new story of the future right you got to believe in that future more than you have to believe in the past so how do you do that you only believe in the past when you feel the emotions of the past the only time you're going to believe in the future is when you feel the emotions the future right okay so in order for us to change a belief or perception about ourself and our lives, we have to make a decision with such firm intention that the amplitude of that decision carries a level of energy that's greater than the hardwired programs in your brain and the emotional conditioning in your body.

And your body literally has to respond to your mind. That the choice that you're making to change in that moment becomes a moment in time that you never forget. Now here's the key. Physically. Physically. The stronger the emotion you feel when you make that choice, the more you'll remember the decision.

Okay, so then how do we down-regulate that old belief? If the trauma created an emotional quotient of six or seven, then your decision to change your belief has got to be a nine. Right. And you've got to come out of your resting state, and that moment has to define you. You could say, I know exactly where I was, the time and day it was, who I was with when I made my mind up to change, right? Because you created a long-term memory. Long-term memories are created from strong emotion, right? But if the amplitude of that emotion is greater than the

betrayal, boom, the body starts responding to the mind. And you're actually giving your body a taste of the future emotionally. So you brand your... What's possible. No, your body a taste of the future emotionally so you brand your one possible no your body's actually getting the taste of that future event experiencing the future now exactly big explosion in the quantum field big explosion so the side effect of that is if you combine that clear intention with that elevated emotion you're basically remembering your future, and it looks no different than remembering your past. Think neurologically within the circuits of that memory

and feel within the emotions of that new belief and watch your life begin to change because nothing changes in our life that we change. And when we change our energy, we change our life. So now the experiment all of a sudden is no longer based on it being hard or trying or wishing or wanting or hoping. That's what we do when we're in lack or separation.

It's about change. So then when we finally realize, in order for us to become abundant, we have to overcome the old personality. And that's 95% of who we are, right? Yes. So then the side effect of the beginning of this process is a lot of discomfort. It is a lot of discomfort because you're stepping

outside the known into the unknown and now you can't predict. It's scary. No, no. You'd rather hold on to your lack. The pain, the suffering. Rather tell the story of that. At least it makes you feel something that's familiar. When you step outside and you're saying, I'm not going to complain about money any longer. I'm not going to complain about I don't have any. I'm not going to judge other people who do. I'm not going to say I can.

I'm not worthy. It's never going to work. All those things got to go. I'm not going to feel lack. I'm not going to feel unworthy. I'm not going to feel separation. I'm not going to feel resentment. These are the things that are keeping my reality the same now it's no longer about abundance about who you

become mm-hmm so the overcoming process becomes the becoming process and so many people come to this work they want abundance they want healing they want a new relationship they want a new career they want the mystical but really they want wholeness and and what healing they but really they want wholeness. They want healing. They want peace. They want wholeness. Because they feel unwhole. Well, when you're in lack or in separation, you're not whole. Imagine feeling so much wholeness that's impossible to want. That's what we're working on with people. Then you can really enjoy a sunset. Then you can really enjoy a meal you can really enjoy your friends you can I talk to people that are very abundant I mean in the billions abundant and you know so many of them say we are

in misery but our whole we're in agony because they can enjoy life anymore that's what they want me people want abundance to be able to enjoy life. They want to be able to do whatever they want with whoever they want as many times as they want, wherever they want. That's freedom, right? People want abundance. The sponsoring thought is really they want freedom, right? Or whatever their sponsoring thought would be, right?

So then creating from the field instead of from matter to shorten the distance between cause and effect requires that clear intention with that elevated emotion, coherent brain and coherent heart. Tune into that energy and feel it with your brain and your heart. And we have plenty of ways to do that. Examine your personality and examine your personal reality. Change your personality. Change your personal reality.

Don't make it be about abundance. Make it about becoming abundant by overcoming the person who's not abundant. The person who heals themselves from a health condition who's no longer thinking the same way, no longer acting the same way, no longer feeling the same way. You ask them where that disease is when they stand on the stage in front of 1500 people or 3000 people and that's a four minute mile. Everybody's leaning in. That's truth stand on the stage in front of 1,500 people or 3,000 people. And that's a four-minute mile. Everybody's leaning in. That's truth right on the stage. They say, where is that?

Where is the disease? Oh, it lives in the old person. Wow. I'm somebody else. That's like, that's, I don't even, that's not even a story. That's not even who I am any longer. So lo and behold, when we do our research when people do this, in seven days of going all in, at the end of seven days, their body looks like, genetically, with all the metabolites, that they're literally in a different environment. Here's the weird part.

They're in a ballroom. There's not a lot happening in a ballroom. What's happening in a ballroom? I've been to thousands of ballroom. There's not a lot happening in a ballroom. What's happening in a ballroom? I've been to thousands of ballrooms. But the environment somehow looks like they're living in a very prosperous, very healthy, very loving, nurturing, very whole environment. Why? Because they were signaling genes ahead of the environment. And if the environment signals the gene, okay, that's epigenetics. The end product of the experience in the environment is an emotion. If you feel the emotion before the experience, you're signaling the gene ahead of the environment.

Why do you think so many people center their identity with being a victim? And why do you think they hold on to it so tightly when they know they could reprogram their beliefs and start living in accordance with a harmonious life and being the creator and manifester as opposed to the victim who is powerless. Yeah. Well, I think the biggest thing, some people say, oh yeah, you can change your life. And then they find it's very difficult. It's very hard. I go, why? Because they don't know how to push the record button. And so many of them are talking to themselves. I'm going to make, Bruce, you do better. You just do better about this.

You do better. And I go, okay, let's stop for a second. Who am I asking to do better? Oh, my subconscious. I go, oh, there's nobody in there. Who are you talking to? Nobody. I go, well, that's a big waste of time, man.

Because that's not where change comes from. They don't know how to push that button. If you don't know how to push the button, it's frustrating. And it says, oh, it takes so much hard work to change. It's not easy. It takes time. These are belief systems. Why? Because they try and it doesn't work. I go, that's because they didn't know how to push the record button. So most people say, yeah, I can change, but it's not working. They said, think positive. And I thought positive and it didn't work. It's not working. Yeah. No, because the idea was you can think all you want, but the problem is while you're thinking, you're actually playing the negative program. So you could think about being positive is actually creating the negative

problem because you're not paying attention when you're thinking about being positive. So this is the whole issue. People have a feeling that they can change, but they have no effort. They don't want to get in the game because they feel it's, you know, it's just too much time and it doesn't work. And I tried it and it didn't work. And then they give up and then life just goes on. It's seamless. You don't see it. It's just the way you've been living it ever since seven years old. You've been just living this program. If someone had only said, you know what? I'm a victim.

I've got too much going on. I don't have time to do these new program things you're talking about. The record button seems like too much work. It's exhausting. I've tried and started and stopped so many times with health, money, relationships, whatever it might be, and I'm a failure at all these things. If you could only give people a five-minute thing to do every day and you said, just focus on this five minutes a day to get you started.

Well, to get you started is this. started is this if you like the first time that i really started to be aware that my my subconscious was controlling me was when i was in my car stopped at a red light and i realized i was going to be late and then all of a sudden i started berating myself well you can't do things right you're not you idiot you're such a how do you forget these things it was that moment i said wait i'm listening to what these words i'm actually'm actually stopping. I'm not just saying the words. I'm saying the words, but I'm actually listening. I said, how many positive things did I just say? Zero.

Uh-oh. There's a problem right there. And I started to realize we have to stop and be conscious just long enough to listen to these things. They flow through just continuously. You got to stop and just tune in and say, what am I thinking? Why? Because you start to realize that most of your thoughts are negative. And this is not good enough. That won't work, blah, blah, blah. And I said, but that's a creative voice you're talking about right there. That voice is creating. And everything you just said is now part of your creation. So what if you stopped?

What if you just said, wait, what I did is I just covered up the clock on my car so I didn't have to see how late I was going to be, and I got there on the right time? It's like, why? Because I didn't focus on all the steps between here and the destination. I just said, I got to get there. Boom, I was there. That's how it worked. Okay, so what can a person do? I think the first time is just for them to wake up long enough to hear, are you giving yourself positive vision of a future? Or you already canceled the

future with negative things that you can bring up any number of negative things. This is not going to happen because of X, fill in X, you can put anything in there. It's not going to happen. I go, until you understand, oh my God, I am not thinking a positive thought in this process. Well, then I'm not, if I'm not thinking a positive thought, then I don't want those other thoughts to manifest. And that was a wake-up call. Should we, is there a place where we should where negative thinking is a positive can't say it because it's a delusion it's a delusion it's not the reality a negative thinking besides manifesting it as a reality it's only and now you are manifesting well that was when do you want to stop manifesting?

I said, when you stop long enough to correct yourself. No, I don't want to think that. No, let me think something positive. Let me assure you something. While back, I would have been what loosely called manic depressive. I'd be happy most of the time. And then something would go wrong. And then the next thing would go wrong. And I would go in a spiral.

And then it got worse. And I get down and be totally depressed, you know, giving myself self-talk, bad criticism, not smart enough, not good enough, whatever. And I was engaged. This was like a repetitive process. And, you know, once it starts, it's like, oh, here we go. You know, it's going to go. And I was in my lab doing something and it required so much work to get this done. And then there was a part where I prepared the experiment, then I'm going to run the experiment. It takes like two hours to prepare. And then I start to run it. And if you mess up a little bit, the whole thing goes to. And I, so I did it the first time I went to crap and it's like, oh God, it's got to spend two more

hours putting it all back together again, weigh out all this stuff, do everything, get it ready. I ruined it the second time. Third time really pissed me off because now I've spent over six hours of the day repeating experiments that never worked. And I got real mad at myself, and I went into that. You idiot, you can't do anything right. And it was cool. I was alone in the room. And I hear a voice just right out in front of me somewhere right out there. And that voice says, don't you have anything better to do than to listen to this?

Wow. And I, for a moment, I was stunned. Like, I'm the only one in the room, you know, it was my higher self, looking at me going going through this and saying, don't you have anything better? And I laughed. That's kind of funny. I said, sure, I'd rather go see a movie. And there was a newspaper.

I picked it up, found a movie, went to the movie, came out, clear, no more depression, gone, okay? The next time I started to go down, I remembered that, don't I have anything better to do? I started to laugh, immediately changed, just went and did something else, stopped. It was a choice. I could continue going back and forth with that, or what the choice was, do something else. And I did it. Guess what? After a number of times, not too many, I never got depressed again because this made a habit that if I would start in that direction, the habit was go do something else. And that has been now a valid part of my whole life. I carry nothing forward on this anymore.

And this was like the freedom. If you're living with yourself and you are you believe you're unlovable then you're living with your an unlovable self all day long and you're gonna be anxious probably stressed worried what are people thinking about me i'm not good enough other people don't think i'm good enough i'm not going to be accepted and that's the conscious thinking mind right and while you're thinking what's running the show the problem is thinking exactly about it and while i'm thinking now the problem is running while i'm thinking about it and as a as a you know cell biologist and researcher on science what happens to our physical cells in the material world when the mind, subconsciously

and consciously, is directing negative energy and thoughts towards it? Self-sabotage. You are manifesting a life. Are you manifesting a positive life? Well, that's a choice. You want to manifest a negative life? That's a choice. But if you start manifesting, then the cascade, the consequences of that are going to manifest in the process.

It's a choice. People don't believe it's a choice because they get so carried away with it without looking at themselves saying, hey, wait, this is a moment of choice. That's why that voice woke me up, took me out of this lifetime of that. Because once it said that, it was funny. of that because once it said that, it was funny. It was so funny that anytime I started to go down, I started laughing and then stop. And then the point was the never, it's been years, years since I've had any anger issues at all.

Yes. It used to be a lot, used to be a lot angrier or used to be more working. I was more frustrated most of the time because things weren't working the way I wanted them to work. Now it's like, are you kidding me? I'm like this happy camper. Hey, I'm awake. Guess what?

I have another day here, another day to experience. I have no idea what's going to happen. I send out some good things and then good things come back. Great. This is a great life. This is not an accident. I know this from a scientific point of view, because I'm very clear of my first 40 plus years with those programs that I got from my family, creating the problem that my family has. You know, my brothers have cancer and like that, excuse me, but you know, I go, I, the same family,

they just kept the programming of that so it's not genetic it's programming 100 yeah what are some what are some daily affirmations you started to implement when you saw this depressed thoughts coming in or these self-sabotage thoughts coming in what did you shift it with affirmations with different thoughts what did you start it was just the awareness a that you know as i said the very first stop light where i started all of a sudden listen while i'm waiting for the light it was like the first time i tuned in and go what the hell are you thinking that was the most important thing because then the habit of not going there anymore,

starting to realize, oh, this is why my thinking is negative. Think, turn around, make a positive statement right now, because that negative one is taking you on. And just a repetition of this behavior become habitual. So and habits are great. Why? No effort. I love habits.

Why? You don't even have to think about them. They do it automatically, you know. So if you put in these really great habits, you can walk through the day and think anything you want, do anything you want, and your habit, if they're good ones, will just guide you perfectly through here without even being involved with thinking. That's the game. The game is what is heaven to you? Then program that that's your life and then guess what the 95 of the day manifesting heaven well you're not even thinking about it and for those listening or watching saying you know bruce this sounds great and all but i've heard the positive

thinking and changing your thoughts stuff a million times and i've tried it before and it hasn't worked for me how How can you prove on a scientific level that this actually is not woo-woo land, but it's actually scientific evidence? Well, the one that was real important for me, because I knew the experience of Psyche helped me, but I had no awareness of what or how. I said, oh, that was cool. That was nice. But when I saw the results that Jeff Fannin showed of recording the activity while the process was going on, it's like, oh. Of the brain. Of the brain.

Yeah, this is a real function. This is a real action. This is not a suggestion. This is a mechanism. And then that gave more positive character to me to follow through because I thought this is just not coincidence stuff, man. This is manifestation. And we have that opportunity to manifest. But to many people, their belief system about that is they're the victim and I'm stuck and that's the way it is. That's my life and my genes did this and therefore I'm

That's my life and my genes did this and therefore I'm going to die and all this kind of stuff. And it's like, wow, you are now a machine and you're going to play that right out to the very end. And it will happen just as you thought it would. Let's say you make a million dollars in your business, but then you invested a lot in the stock market or whatever. And then half of it goes away overnight. Who doesn't have that happen? Right. Every abundant person has that happen. And the response is minimal.

So what should people be thinking when they lose a lot of money or they lose something? Don't lose the lesson. You may lose the money, but don't lose the lesson. Should people feel this emotional attachment to the money loss? No, why? What is money? I mean, what is that? What people really want.

It's like people say to me, oh, I have this great idea for this new business and I need money. And I say, you don't need money. You need opportunity. You need opportunity. You better tune in to some opportunities, right? So it's the framing of how limited we think

that we have to get things through money. It just is not the way it is. So the fundamental importance about all of this is I really don't care if people want to be abundant. I don't care if they want to heal. I don't care if they want to have a mystical. I don't care what I want to travel the world. Doesn't matter to me. I just want them to be in the experiment the experiment of actually trying it out yes and seeing God if I really change my energy well could I actually have an effect that's produced in my life and if I'm waiting for the event to occur I'm back to the illusion of separation and lack waiting for it to happen to take it away from truly a creator so So let's say they're not waiting.

What should they do instead of waiting? Keep feeling the feeling in the present moment and trust. If you're waiting, you're not creating. I mean, that's just the way it is. So wake up every day. How bad do you want it? How bad do you want your dream? It's so much easier to forget that vision than to remember it.

Right? So if you're going to remember it, you've got to keep it alive in your mind. How do you keep it alive in your mind? You disconnect from your environment. You close your eyes. You play music in the background. You sit your body down and it's got to pee and it's got to eat and it's got to... Well, you just sit down for a few minutes like training a dog.

Like you stay. When I say it's time to get up, we get up. Don't be thinking about what's going to happen in your day. You already know what's going to happen. Don't think what happened yesterday. You already know that. Get in the present moment and say, who do I want to be when I open my eyes? Who do I want to be today?

What would greatness look like? How would I, one day, one shot, one lifetime, what would an abundant person do? Let me rehearse that with my eyes closed. Let me remind myself who I don't want to be. Let me remind myself who do I want to be. Let's not get up, Lewis. Until we get into that. Until we are to where the tennis ball hits the sweet spot.

When you go, oh, I'm ready for the day now. Now, game on. Now, if you can maintain that modified state of mind and body the entire day without defaulting by seeing someone or doing something, stay in that state, the experiment still continues. And you're changing your energy. Doesn't happen in two days. You're not that good. Right. That's it. You're not that good. We keep practicing. People who show up for the 21 weeks in a row, this woman, 21 weeks in a row,

the end of 21 weeks, she knew it. Boom. Her whole life changed. Boom. Was it 21 days worth it? Ask her. The experiment, she was just changing the process. People who diagnose with really serious health conditions and they start doing the meditations and they realize, wow, God, my body feels better. My pain feels better. But my values, my scans are still showing the disease exists. All right. Does it mean that it doesn't work? No. Does it mean it doesn't work?

It means like, what am I doing the other 15 hours of the day? Oh, my God. I'm in lack. I'm in fear. I'm responding to the same people in the same ways. And again, you got to think about this. As long as your response to everything in your life is the same you're not changing right so change your response to things in your life and you're in

the process of change so then now i gotta get good with my eyes open now i gotta be able to rehearse oh my god i fell from grace at that moment in my day oh my god i defaulted back to the old self for what about yourself yeah all right no so it's not only forgive yourself. There's a forgiving process, like shoot, but if you're truly playing the game, who cares, right? You just go, God, let me brush myself off.

Get back to it. Get back in my heart here. Let me get back in that place. Remember, let me get back in this energy and let's try it again. Let's try it again. Yes. And let's just keep the experiment going.

Now, does that mean you have to be irresponsible? No, you still have to navigate with ethics and morality. You still have to have personal conviction. You still have to have a vision that's bigger than you and somehow that motivates you because not only you're doing it for selfish reasons, but to contribute to others in some way. Of course, there's going to be recognition and popularity and aggrandizement that goes with it. Money should be the side effect of all that. The game should be so good of your vision, like that vision of the future, you have to keep alive in your mind.

That should be the game. The ones that can keep that vision of the future in their mind now. Exactly. And have a personality. Even if your reality is falling apart, and that's happened to a lot of people. I mean, there are people that have come to our work and are living in the back of their car. Right. And now they're, you know, living very well or bankrupt.

And now their companies are just thriving. They just never stopped believing in themselves. Because if you believe in yourself, it means you have to believe in themselves. Because if you believe in yourself, it means you have to believe in possibility. And if you believe in possibility, you're going to have to believe in yourself. And so something really cool happens when you do this that I just discovered recently.

Just watching people at our week-long events. You know, because you've got to go all in. You've got to go all in. And it's seven days, and it's a lot, and it's super intense, and there's times where you don't want to show up because I'm pushing people across the river of change. There comes a moment where people keep showing up for themselves. They keep showing up for themselves in spite of the weather,

in spite of their foot hurting, in spite of their bad dream, in spite of their whatever, their fight with their whoever. They keep showing up. They get really worthy to receive. They feel really worthy, like I am worthy to receive this gift. And the universe only gives us what we think we're worthy of receiving, right?

So we gotta get to that point because so many people who are in lack somehow don't feel worthy, right? So the abundance then becomes the sign that you finally become worthy. And for the soul, it's not about the abundance. It's about mastering your worthiness. And the reflection is the things that you accumulate. And the reflection is the things that you accumulate.

What's the strategy to start believing we're worthy of receiving now? Fill your brain with as much knowledge as possible. Listen, my dad used to say this to me all the time. He'd say, wait a second, wait a second, just sit down with me here. If anybody else can do it, you could do it also. Well, let's just start there. So how did these people do it? Like, let's look at what they did. All right, let's study. This is a school of greatness. Let's study greatness. What is greatness? Like an uncompromising will, invincibility, lead with their heart, adapt and make changes, let go of the past, give life, live it fully and completely and

embrace it and enjoy it. I don't know. You get to write the script. You tell the story of your future instead of telling the story of your past. Watch what happens. So how do we, should we be speaking to others about our future or should we be more keeping that to our mind and our bodies and kind of speaking it to ourselves? What happens when you say, I'm going to do this, and I'm going to do this, and this is my future? Does that actually hurt us?

Yeah, so I really don't leak it out. I never leak it out. Because if I'm working on something, I hold it, right? When I know it's going to happen, that's when I'll say, hey, you guys, you're not going to believe this, right? So it's more to yourself. Right.

Listen, you know when you know when you're changing? When you stop talking about it. That's when you know you're changing. Because you're on the bleachers and you're on the playing field. Look, so many people come to our work, Lewis, and they say, I always believed that this was possible. All this information. I've seen people heal themselves. Some people create possible. All this information. I've seen people heal themselves. Some people create.

Well, I get it. I just didn't believe it would work for me. Oh, it's a big moment. It's a big moment. Now you are on the game. You're in the playing field. You're out of the bleachers. We had people stand on the stage.

Someone stand on the stage someone's down on stage this weekend in Denver just said my god I I I I really believe that that um this would work I just I just didn't believe I could heal I didn't believe I really didn't believe it I really didn't believe she was a physician it's a physician I really didn't believe I could heal now is it about the healing anymore it's about overcoming the belief and every day she's got to make that decision with such firm intention that the amplitude of that decision is causing her body to respond to her mind and that's the moment she's rewriting the belief and if she doesn't feel like it don't expect anything to occur in your life. You got to come out of your resting state.

You got to make that choice. For all the people that go to your events, and just in life, one of the biggest challenges people have is the consistency of doing these things. It's hard to actually go and try it once. No, but here's the deal. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. Let's just say you're in the experiment and now that belief is right in your face. I guarantee you that discomfort from that belief being right in your face is going to get you out of bed in the morning and you're going to face off with it. There's an innate capacity that we have as human beings to want to overcome our limitations. It's in there, right?

So the community that we have that does this work, they're not like, oh, God, I've got to go create today. That's not their game. The magic is so good, they show up because they don't want the magic to end. To go away, yeah. They're not doing it as a have to, to please God, do the right thing, be spiritual. None of that. It's not an obligation. It's something that they actually look forward to doing because the experiment in their life

is creating all these wonderful opportunities. And there's plenty of people in our work that started new businesses that are jamming. They're jamming. They're jamming. And they would never be victim. What are the main limiting beliefs that you just hear consistently that most people tend to have if they're not in a higher level program that they've caught and switched with? Well, one of the main beliefs that they're caught up in is the lack of power they feel over their own health and their own reality. That I'm a victim. I'm a victim of my genes. I'm a victim of this world out here. I say, if you, if the belief system is translated into behavior, if I believe I'm a victim, then my behavior will be as a victim. No power. You guys tell me what to do, and I'll try and do

what you just said. And I say, well, that's the biggest problem of all, because quantum physics, I mentioned, is the most valid science. And principle number one is you're the creator of this. And it's like, well, when are you going to own that? And the answer is, I could say it, but then you walk away. And a few minutes later, you're back into your world again. Everything's gone. You know, listen, it took me a while.

I learned and understood that, oh, my God, this is how it works. And I was so excited. I wanted to get people. I'm not going to tell anybody. Listen to this. This is how it works. And I was so excited. I wanted to get people. I'm going to tell anybody to listen to this. This is how it works. So I beginning got some people together and I started to go off. Let me tell you how to create the most beautiful life experience. And then they'd look at me and they go, you know, Lipton for a guy who says, you know, this, your life doesn't look that good.

Interesting. It was my wake up call. I said, how the hell can I talk about how wonderful this is, and I'm not practicing it? And I immediately said to myself, don't go out there and talk to anybody about this. Why? Until you do it. So what were the things that were holding you back before you discovered this? And then what was the new program that you started to implement for yourself

on a consistent basis to have 100% upgraded program? Yeah, well, one of the things professionally, okay? I was doing a great job. I had a great professorship in a medical school, all that kind of stuff. You know, personally, my life sucked. Really? I put a relationship off the ground. I go, why not? And I go, well, now that You know, personally, my life sucked. I could get a relationship off the ground.

I go, why not? I go, well, now that I know about it, I was programmed about relationships by observing my father and my mother. Well, they had dysfunctional relationships. So what do you think I downloaded? Dysfunction. So my conscious mind goes forward and says, yeah, I want to have a great relationship. I get into it. My subconscious mind steps up and says, oh, this is how we do a relationship. Oh, game over. You know why? Because I didn't see the negative behaviors that I was putting out. My partner, potential partner saw them and gave them cause for alarm. I don't think I want to be with this guy. That was me. And then I realized that. And that's when I really had to go in first thing and start to change. Who am I? And I'll tell you the biggest problem now after years of working,

people do not love themselves. And I said, what does that mean? I said, if you have a program where you don't love yourself, then rationally, logically, can anybody else love you? And the answer is no. Because you don't think you're lovable. That's right. And somebody says you are that, oh, I love you. And then you go, you probably don't have any quality control. I know I'm not lovable. What's wrong with you? And then at some point you push them away and then they're not there. And then you go, I'm not lovable. Nobody's here. I pushed them away, you know, and I changed that.

I was nearly what, 45 years old, 40 some years old. And I had zero quality relationships for all that life. Right. I changed the program. And within a couple of years, I'm now with my partner, Margaret. And the fact is, she was involved with a workshop training program for people. So she understood processing and stuff. And when I came and we added the science and the processing, we've been living a honeymoon for 26 years. Really?

Years waking up every day going, wow, still here. Another day for fun. Another day for being in love. It was great. And it still is. But if I didn't change the program, that would never have been part of my life at all. I would have been my whole life struggling. How did you change it?

And what was the thing that you started to say in replace of the previous program? Well, the first thing was I had, we do muscle testing. Now you're an athlete, all that stuff. And you know about muscles. Well, let me just say about muscle testing, the conscious mind is a creative mind, and the subconscious mind is a program, but the subconscious mind being a massive processor controls muscles. The subconscious, not thinking, man, it's boom, it's just programmed real fast, reflexes, boom, like this, okay? So, if you make a statement with your conscious mind, the creative mind, and the subconscious mind doesn't agree with that, there's no history to support that statement, then the two minds are not in harmony. I say, what happens when they're in disharmony?

The answer is it weakens the subconscious mind, and the muscles get weaker. So how do we get them in harmony? Well, you have to make sure then whatever statements you're making agree with the subconscious program. And if you want a statement that's positive and your subconscious program doesn't have it, then all of a sudden you say, well, that's where I got to fix a subconscious mind. I don't need to fix a conscious one. And that's when it comes back. Well, then programming that subconscious mind. was I tried to write my biology of belief book. I got to three different times. I got started, got about halfway through and it just petered out. I just disappeared. And I was so upset because I really wanted to write this book. And then doing muscle testing, I found out that my subconscious mind did not support writing the book. I go, why not? And the answer was, because I'm a scientist, and if I wrote the book which had spirituality in it, I would lose my support from my colleagues.

So, my subconscious mind was saying, okay, that's enough, no more writing, because if you conclude this, you're going to be an outcast from your society. So, I doing a one of these balances they're called 15 minutes or less and in the process uh part of the balance was how do i want this book to be written now well i said i want it to be written fast because i waste a lot of fun and easy, whatever it was, I balanced that. And I forgot about it because it was just 15 minutes and it was like, oh yeah, I should do something about that, blah, blah, blah. And months later, the book is done. And I remember getting, reviewing it. It's going to go to the publisher. And I remember getting it, reviewing it. It's going to go to the publisher.

This is the final read, sending it to the publisher. Get down to the last page, down to the last thing. Get down to the last line. It's finished. And I pushed myself back in the chair. And I said, wow, that was fast and kind of fun. And it was easy. that was fast and kind of fun and it was easy.

I said, holy, those are the words that I put in, which I completely forgot about. And I programmed my mind that way. And the moment I finished the book, I said, fast, fun, and easy. I go, holy, that was the program. And it was what took me off. But go back to the I love myself one, because I can tell you now for a fact, in being involved with so many belief change programs, over 80%, generally 90% of every audience will not test positive for I love myself.

That's a very large number. And that means why so many marriages fall apart, because they never really connected. They were sort of like, you know, on the surface, really nice, but their subconscious programs clash, boom, gone, it's not working. And then the idea is what? Well, let me give you a reason why. You're an athlete, so I know I can tell you where that programming works, and it goes like this. If a kid on a sports team is not doing well, the coach doesn't go, oh, please try harder. You could do better. No, coach comes out there. That's not good enough. Who do you think you are? You know, you're not worthy to be on this team, blah, blah, blah. And the player immediately in

the conscious mind goes, oh, my God, I better work harder and be better. Great. Now I say, what if the parent is acting as a coach and the kid is five years old? I go, why is that important? I said, they're not using the conscious mind at five years old, they're in record. And the parent said, that's not good enough. You don't deserve this. You're not lovable. Who do you think you are? I say, the child is not thinking about what the parent was intending. The child's recording, I'm not lovable. I'm not deserving. I'm not this. And I go, then 95% of your life is going to come from that program. And you see why you struggle. You don't love yourself because the first thing you'd be critical of yourself. I not good enough i'm not this i i

go well now you're self-critical and the moment you're self-critical you just uh canceled the whole game right at that point so what is this muscle balance test thing you were talking about is this called muscle testing how do you do this well uh one's a very simple way you can use any part of your body with muscles. I could push on your head. I could push on a finger. Usually it's done with an arm. Yeah, push my arm down.

And the game is this. It's not arm wrestling. People think, oh, I say, no, no. The idea is this. You have to keep focus. You make a statement and you keep your mind on that statement. Give me an example of like, I love myself. I love myself.

Hold out your arm. Point. If the conscious and subconscious agree the muscle is a rock, you could do chin-ups on that arm. Okay? But if the subconscious doesn't agree with the conscious mind, you say I'm lovable in the subconscious mind, give you all the reasons why you're not. And guess what? Now the two minds are in disharmony. And now the arm will move. I say, well, how much does it move? I say, well, all you need to know is it moved that much. If it just moved that little bit, any more pushing or thing. Now that's arm wrestling. It was if they both agree, that's solid. That's not even going to move.

It was, if they both agree, that's solid. That's not even going to move. But if there's, if the two don't agree, then just even the first downward movement like that says, that's it. You don't have to do anymore. I hope you enjoyed today's episode and it inspired you on your journey towards greatness.
