    Evidence for Transformation in a Week-Long Event

    1. JD

      We are all faced with great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations, and there's always a door. That's, uh, how we evolve, and we have to see adversity and challenge, uh, from a greater level of consciousness, not the same consciousness that's created it. [upbeat music]

    2. LH

      Welcome everyone to this special edition of the School of Greatness podcast. We have-

    3. JD

      Mm

    4. LH

      ... the inspirational Dr. Joe Dispenza in the house. I'm so excited about this. We've had Joe on a couple of times-

    5. JD

      [clears throat]

    6. LH

      ... and they've done incredible. So many of you keep requesting him back. So many of you have been to his live retreats. You've bought his books, his best-selling books. You listen to his audio work, everything, and, uh, we've got him back right now because a lot of you keep requesting to have his wisdom, to have his information, to help us during this time of uncertainty, and frustration, and loss, and fear, and anxiety. So, Dr. Joe, thank you so much for being here, my man.

    7. JD

      [laughs] Lewis, I'm always happy to be with you, bro.

    8. LH

      Excited, man, and you have a, uh, uh, you've been growing over the last... Really since you've done your doc- You've been in a lot of documentaries over the last decade, and things will keep growing for you. But we were just talking before the interview about when did things really take off to another level, and it's you said because you have all this evidence now based on your work, that the evidence is backed, it's researched, and it's really been proven now all the work you've been doing for, for decades-

    9. JD

      Mm

    10. LH

      ... in teaching people. 'Cause I think there's a lot of people in, let's say, an industry that might talk about meditation or talk about mindset, but they don't have evidence backing their specific materials or backing their-

    11. JD

      [clears throat]

    12. LH

      ... specific education, and you do, and I think that's really cool that you have that now.

    13. JD

      Sure. I mean, I think evidence really is the loudest voice at this time in history. I mean, we, we have spent the last 10 years not studying Buddhist monks or, or nuns with 40 years of devotion, or academics or scholars, or, um, or religious figures. We, we really study common people and, um, you know, we've kind of done our work to demystify a formula to teach people what transformation really is, and I think we already inherently know how to do it. So when we s- This wasn't we were just studying people like that were people that did, you know, 10 years of meditation, come into a laboratory and let's see what you can do in one meditation session or two meditation sessions. We're studying people over a course of an intense seven-day event.

    14. LH

      Mm-hmm.

    15. JD

      And what if they started thinking differently, they started making different choices, they started doing different things? If they start creating new experiences and they start feeling different emotions, will there be changes in their biology? And without a doubt we have evidence to show that, wow, you can signal new genes, you can strengthen your immune system, you can make your brain work better, you can make your heart work better, you can lengthen your life. You know, we have all this... We could, you could get happier. We have all this data that shows scientifically that people are really changing on a fundamental level.

    16. LH

      Yeah.

    17. JD

      Because it is new information when they have all those, uh, new things happen to them, not, they're not being the same person. And if we, we study that over the course of a week, some people change fundamentally to such a degree that the disease or the condition that they showed up with as the old person, uh, is completely gone because they're not the same person any longer-

    18. LH

      Yeah

    19. JD

      ... because they are thinking differently, they are acting differently, and they are feeling differently. And how you think, and how you act, and how you feel is your personality, and your personality is intimately connected to your personal reality. So the disease exists in the old personality. This, this person is somebody else, and they didn't visualize the leukemia or the stage four cancer going away. They just became somebody else. So then that process of teaching people how to do that, and then having someone stand on the stage with stage four cancer and say, or a tumor that was there that's now gone, or shows up at the second event and they're, w- they came a month earlier or two months earlier to a different event and they have their scans in front of them. Like, there's the tumor.

    20. LH

      That's crazy.

    21. JD

      And then there it's not there. So then they're talking and telling that story. It's the four-minute mile, and the four-minute mile says, "Oh my God. Somebody just broke through a layer of consciousness, and if they can do it, I can do it." And soon as that four-minute mile gets broken, it's in, it's in the field and, and it's, and it's evidenced in three-dimensional reality and it's a footprint that people can step into.

  2. 4:41 – 7:28

    How Trauma Gets Wired into Brain and Body

    1. LH

      So are we able to essentially heal trauma? How quickly can we heal something that's been inside of our body, inside of our mindset for decades-

    2. JD

      [clears throat]

    3. LH

      ... that we've never let go of?

    4. JD

      Yeah.

    5. LH

      And it's, and it's a part of us. How quick are we able to do that, uh, from past trauma?

    6. JD

      Yeah. Well, here's the deal with trauma, and it's kind of an interesting thing because when you're traumatized, some threat, or some danger, or some condition in your outer world through your senses is changing how you feel in your inner world. And the quotient of change between the way you normally feel in some alarm state, when you change your internal state and move into that emergency mode, you narrow your focus on the cause, and the brain freezes an image and takes a snapshot, and that's called the long-term memory. And now that image is branded holographically into the brain. So then they remember ex- we, we remember experiences better because we can remember how they feel and, and that memory then changes the person's biology. So they think neurologically within the circuits of that experience and they feel chemically within the boundaries of those emotions, and how we think and feel becomes our state of being.

    7. LH

      Mm-hmm.

    8. JD

      So, so now the person biologically is changed, and many times it's the strong emotion that begins to select and instruct the gene that creates disease. Why?

    9. LH

      Yeah.

    10. JD

      Because if the environment signals the gene, and that's the truth, that's epigenetics, and the end product of an experience in the environment is an emotion- [laughs] The emotion that you feel from that event is literally selecting the gene-

    11. LH

      Gosh, it's crazy

    12. JD

      ... for you to begin to change, and genes make proteins. And so the, the person, if it's, if it's strong enough, begins to wear their trauma, not just in their brain. Now it's in their body because every time they think about that trauma, every time they review it, every time they keep creating the imagery, they keep firing and wiring the circuits in their brain, and they keep feeling the feeling emotionally in their body. And their body is so objective that it's believing it's living in the same past experience 50 to 100 times a day.

    13. LH

      Mm.

    14. JD

      And all you need is a stimulus and a response, an image and a f- an emotion, a thought and a feeling, and you're conditioning the body into the past. Well, you're conditioning the brain and body into the past.

    15. LH

      And it doesn't matter if the actual event happened to you or not, because if you have the image, what I'm hearing you say, it's still gonna connect to the body. So, like, what's happening right now is people are consuming probably more than 50, 100 pieces of media talking about trauma in the world right now.

    16. JD

      Right.

    17. LH

      That... Is that causing more physical damage on our bodies without actually having it physically hurt us?

    18. JD

      Well, let me finish the thought-

    19. LH

      Yes, go ahead

    20. JD

      ... and then the whole group can answer that question.

    21. LH

      This is mind-blowing.

    22. JD

      So

  3. 7:28 – 10:26

    Healing in Four Days and Gene Expression

    1. JD

      then you asked if is it possible then con- that people can heal that quickly in one week. Yeah, because what if they create an inner event that carries an amplitude of gratitude or joy or freedom, breakthrough from the chains of the past? And when the body is liberated and you feel that elevated emotion, the stronger the emotion you feel from that breakthrough, the more you're gonna pay attention to the image in your mind. And now you're now beginning to brand new circuitry in the brain, and your body's being conditioned into a new future. And the stronger the emotion you feel and the more you pay attention to the picture, the more you're conditioning the body over time to the future instead of the past. So now you keep knocking on that genetic door emotionally, then that emotion ultimately signals a new gene that up- upregulates that gene to produce better proteins, and the person then all of a sudden starts healing. And we have research to show that people can do that in four days, signal genes to reduce cancer cells and grow-

    2. LH

      Wow

    3. JD

      ... to, to signal stem cells to, to suppress, um, uh... to go to active tissues and repair them and regenerate them and suppress, uh, inflammation. The, we have research to show that you could change the number of brain cells you have just by, by doing this properly. And so now all of a sudden, a person starts changing.

    4. LH

      So four, on four day, in four days-

    5. JD

      In four days. Yeah

    6. LH

      ... you can start to reverse some of the damage you've done in your body, uh, depending on the degree of damage, it sounds like. But in four days, by simply replacing the imagery, the visualization, the acknowledgement to a different emotion, an emotion of joy, gratitude, peace, perspective, acceptance. I'm assuming these things-

    7. JD

      A vision of your future. A vision of your fu-

    8. LH

      A vision of what you want that's positive-

    9. JD

      In your future

    10. LH

      ... as opposed to a vision that is tied to a negative event of the past over and over every single moment of the day.

    11. JD

      Right, right.

    12. LH

      Your body will start to heal, your immune system will start to heal, and you'll start to get... You'll start to shift your genes?

    13. JD

      Gene expression, absolutely.

    14. LH

      Gene ex- what's the difference between gene expression and just genes?

    15. JD

      Well, you know, you come with a lot of genes, and they're just a library of potentials. They're just a storehouse of information, of possibilities. So then you gotta get the right signal, the right lock into the key that begins to select and instruct genes that cause genes to make different proteins. And you can regulate so many different genes. The same genes, you can regulate them differently. So when they upregulate, they start producing really healthy and robust proteins, and that's, that's enzymes, that's tissue, that's structure, that's function, that's hormones, uh, it's immuno- immunoglobulins. When they downregulate because of some alarm, when there's not a lot of energy for long-term building projects, well, then you keep doing that, then the body starts producing cheaper proteins. It's a different signal. It's not a time for growth. And so-

    16. LH

      Hm

    17. JD

      ... and so now to answer your other question-

    18. LH

      Yes

    19. JD

      ... then, then it makes sense then that

  4. 10:26 – 18:14

    Emergency Mode and the Immune System

    1. JD

      if you have been in experienced, uh, if you had experience of trauma, say, for example, and it's created the feeling of fear, and your fear is that it could happen again. And your... Y- you don't know this, but every time you think about that future, that pr- possible worst case scenario, scenario, and you feel the emotion, you're conditioning your body to become the mind subconsciously of anxiety. So now all, all you need now is some cue in your outer environment that says it's unsafe, that it's, there's damage there, that you're, you're a victim. Something's bigger than you that could have an effect on you. Well, now that feeling of fear is gonna cause you to think thoughts equal to it. So the person then no longer needs the environment to feel that fear. They just to have to have the thought about that condition now. And now [laughs] they're literally knocking their brain and body out of balance by thought alone, and the body's constantly living in emergency mode. And it takes a lot of energy, a lot of resources-

    2. LH

      Yeah

    3. JD

      ... to live in emergency mode all the time.

    4. LH

      All the time.

    5. JD

      And guess what system becomes compromised by it?

    6. LH

      Immune system.

    7. JD

      Your immune system. Why? Because you have two protection systems.

    8. LH

      Yeah.

    9. JD

      You got a, you got a system that protects you from dangers in your outer world. That's, that's the gas pedal. That's the sympathetic nervous system. That's the fight or flight nervous system. Danger, threat out there, use all the energy because you gotta, you gotta survive, and when you survive, you gotta take care of your body, so.

    10. LH

      Right.

    11. JD

      So, so now that system can work really well short term. It doesn't work really well if you keep it on all the time because if you're mobilizing all that energy for some threat in your outer world, there's no energy in your inner world for growth and repair. There's no energy for long-term building projects. And energy leaves the brain, and it leaves the heart, and it moves into these lower centers because now you're tapping the body's resources because there is an emergency. But whether the emergency is real or imagined, whether your anger is valid or justified or not- That the, you're tapping the body's very energy to heal by doing this. And the immune system says, "Well, we're part of really the other nervous system. We're the brake. We're the clutch. We need to, we need to get into relaxation. We need to get back into balance again. And, and when we do, then we'll metabolize, then we'll, we'll assimilate, we'll reproduce, we'll, we'll excrete properly."

    12. LH

      Mm-hmm.

    13. JD

      So, so now you got a, this kind of battle between the gas pedal and the brake, and the immune system says, "Hey, listen, if there's foreign agents, if there's viruses, bacteria, molds, funguses, listen, we don't have a whole lot of energy here to deal with them because we're fighting this war out there. There's no homeland security." So they shut down certain receptors in the immune system. They shut down function of those lymphocytes, those white blood cells that are your inner army of protection. And it takes a lot of energy to fight a virus and a bacteria.

    14. LH

      Right.

    15. JD

      But if there's no energy, hey, listen, it takes energy to raise the body's temperature. Where do you think that comes from? That's part of that branch called the autonomic nervous system, and the sympathetic, the gas pedal, is part of it, and the parasympathetic is the clutch, is part of that autonomic nervous system, and it's a check and balance. But so you stay in emergency for an extended period of time, and now you're exposed to some antigen or some-

    16. LH

      Mm-hmm

    17. JD

      ... uh, uh, external substance, some foreign agent, and there's no, there's no energy, uh, to deal with it, then you are victim-

    18. LH

      Yes

    19. JD

      ... to your environment because every time you react to your environment and you say that person, that circumstance is controlling the way I feel and the way I think, if something-

    20. LH

      Hmm

    21. JD

      ... outside of you is controlling your feelings and thoughts, then it makes you a victim to your environment.

    22. LH

      You're a victim, yes.

    23. JD

      So then, so you will be more victimized or more, you could be more of a victim to other things in your environment. People don't understand this consciously because it's a program subconsciously. So, so now if you begin to strengthen your inner environment now, this is where our work comes in because we have research to show that when you place your attention right here in your heart, this center right here.

    24. LH

      Mm-hmm.

    25. JD

      This is, this is the beginning of our divinity. This is our center of oneness, our wholeness. This is where we begin to feel love, gratitude, compassion, kindness, care, freedom, joy. Um, it's all these elevated emotions that are heartfelt emotions. Now our research shows that when you begin to teach people how to open this center, and you teach them a formula on how to practice it-

    26. LH

      Mm-hmm

    27. JD

      ... that if they did that for four days, that they would begin to strengthen their immune system by 50%.

    28. LH

      Wow.

    29. JD

      And now let me tell you why. Because in this center is your heart, but what most people don't know, there's another gland in there called the thymus gland. Thyme leaf, it's named after the, the thu- the thyme leaf. And the thymus gland has two functions. It has an endocrinological function. It makes growth hormone. That's our youth center.

    30. LH

      Mm-hmm.

  5. 18:14 – 21:21

    Opening the Heart, the Thymus, and Immunoglobulin A

    1. LH

      So are, are you saying is it possible that we can build our immune system so strong and our body so strong that we would reject viruses?

    2. JD

      Your body rejects viruses all the time.

    3. LH

      Really?

    4. JD

      Of course. It has memorized certain viruses that you've been exposed to, and it has memorized certain bacteria that you've been exposed to, and it's beaten those viruses. It's not every virus wins in the body. The body has an intelligence and it's, and it has- Quite a library-

    5. LH

      Huh

    6. JD

      ... of memories in the, in the, in the white blood cells. So your body is fighting viruses and bacteria all the time. There's a constant competition going on.

    7. LH

      Really?

    8. JD

      So our research shows that four days of opening your heart releases immunoglobulin A, your body's primary defense against bacteria and viruses. It's better than the flu shot. It's the body's natural flu shot, and that's the innate intelligence of the body saying, "I got this. I got a lot of energy. In fact, I got a surplus of energy. In fact, I'm radiating energy. And now nothing from my outer world-"

    9. LH

      I've too much energy

    10. JD

      ... it will... Now my outer world is not controlling my inner world. My inner world now is functioning independent of what's going on in my outer world. And now, nitric oxide-

    11. LH

      You're manifesting. You're manifesting

    12. JD

      ... ah, n- ah, now you got it. Now you're in a creative state, 'cause this is just-

    13. LH

      People are coming to you. Yes

    14. JD

      ... right. Exactly. Now you're a magnet. Now you have a field, right? And you have energy, uh, to heal. And our research shows that that field around your body will actually expand. You, you radiate more light and information. Cells are getting new information that are, that are causing, uh, um, light to be exchanged between cells and information. Now the body's getting an upgrade. So, so that immunoglobulin A-

    15. LH

      Wow

    16. JD

      ... in four days went up 50%. So now we now know that if it's going up 50%, that then the immune system was getting a new signal. And nitric oxide then causes another chemical to activate the arteries in your heart to swell. And now, just like when energy moves into your sexual organs and it swells with blood and you have energy there, the same intensity, it moves into your heart. And now, now the heart is activated, and what do you feel? You feel an incredible amount of love.

    17. LH

      Bulletproof.

    18. JD

      Yeah, and you feel-

    19. LH

      Love

    20. JD

      ... you feel-

    21. LH

      Yeah

    22. JD

      ... you feel whole.

    23. LH

      Mm.

    24. JD

      And now the more whole you feel, our research shows, then the less separate you feel from the things you want in your life, because you feel like you already have them. You only want things when you're in lack. But when you feel whole, then it feels like it's already happened. And that tends-

    25. LH

      Mm

    26. JD

      ... to be the exact emotion that causes those synchronicities and serendipities and coincidences to happen in our life. And you say to a person, "What are you doing?" And they're saying, "I'm not doing anything. I'm, I'm just so happy."

    27. LH

      Just loving life. I'm being myself.

    28. JD

      Yeah.

    29. LH

      I'm, yeah, exactly.

    30. JD

      Right. I'm free. I'm free from the past. I'm free from my-

  6. 21:21 – 25:39

    Retiring the Story of the Past

    1. LH

      I'm more in love with my future than the story of my past. But m- most of us tell the story of our past in a negative sense on how it's held us back, um, millions of times over our life, as opposed to the story of the future of what we wanna create or who we wanna become.

    2. JD

      Yeah. Listen, a- again, you tell that story, and the latest research on memory says that memory is creative, that in fact 50% of that story you embellish. People make up that story.

    3. LH

      [laughs]

    4. JD

      Let me tell you why they make up that story. Because they excuse themselves for the fact that they haven't been able to change since that event. They'll have to make it sound worse than it really was and-

    5. LH

      To make it harder to grow and change

    6. JD

      ... so that they can reaffirm their limited sense of their inability-

    7. LH

      Mm

    8. JD

      ... to change. So then that story becomes more and more of a story and it's less of the truth, because you gotta work yourself up into a state there were lions and tigers, and there was-

    9. LH

      Right

    10. JD

      ... you know, there were helicopters.

    11. LH

      Snow storms and [laughs]

    12. JD

      Yeah, and everybody was firing bullets. Worse than you could possibly imagine. And then you gotta feel that emotion, right?

    13. LH

      Yes.

    14. JD

      And then you're looking, oh yeah, it must have been really bad. Now, that's, that's your identity now. That's your identity. So then-

    15. LH

      And you hold, the more you hold onto that identity of the past, the harder it is to become who you wanna be in the future.

    16. JD

      Well, here's, here's, to answer the other part of your question when we started talking. How do you get that person out of their past?

    17. LH

      Yeah. Wow.

    18. JD

      Well, you gotta, y- we need a week. It's not gonna happen in one-

    19. LH

      Yeah. You mean it doesn't happen overnight?

    20. JD

      No. I want them to come right up against their fear.

    21. LH

      Mm-hmm.

    22. JD

      I want them to come right up against their doubt. I want them to come up against the point where they're gonna give up and quit, and they're gonna sit there and nobody else is giving up and quitting, and they're gonna go all in more, and they're gonna start believing what there's something on the other side of that emotion. They're gonna believe that there's something past the story of their past, because they're stretching themselves out of the known. And it takes a tremendous amount of awareness, repetition-

    23. LH

      Mm

    24. JD

      ... information, model building, sharing, understanding, experiencing, to finally have a person get to the point where they just let go.

    25. LH

      Wow.

    26. JD

      And when they do, the body's liberated from the past and there's a release of energy. And we now know that there's a formula to teach people how to do that. In fact, we're getting so good at it that the first two days, day and a half sometimes, one day in certain groups of a week-long event, is about retiring that past, finishing it. You know, this is when the story ends. This is when they get over it. Now, the next five days, [laughs] the person's ready to create a new future, and they're not gonna have a problem-

    27. LH

      Wow

    28. JD

      ... teaching their body what it feels like to be in love with life, to feel like all their needs are met, that they're free. They are going to fall in love with it, and they are gonna begin to signal new genes. They're gonna begin to change their brain circuitry, their brain chemistry, their immune system, their gene expression, the telomeres. It's all gonna happen. They're, they're more of that future self and, and they're, they're headed to a future. Now, here's the deal, though. You gotta be able to sustain that state when you return back to your life. That's the name of the game. You gotta be able to-

    29. LH

      Right

    30. JD

      ... you gotta bring the game into your life now, and no person, no circumstance, no condition in your life would cause you to feel the old way again. 'Cause the moment you started feeling victimized, the moment you started feeling angry, you just returned to the old self. You disconnected From the energy of your future and you're back to the energy of your past. Don't expect anything to change in your life. And if you say to me, Well, it was because of that person, I'd say, [gasps] you're back to the unconscious program-

  7. 25:39 – 30:05

    Daily Support for Your Inner Environment

    1. LH

      So what are a few things we can do before we come to your, uh, events? What are a few things we can do to support our inner environment on a daily basis?

    2. JD

      Ah. Well, listen, um, the first thing and the, and the most important thing for me is knowledge and information.

    3. LH

      Mm-hmm.

    4. JD

      Knowledge is really power and, and knowledge and information about yourself should in, it should empower you. It should empower the self, right? So when we learn about the immune system and all it can do, and we say, Oh, my God, you mean not every virus gets to me? In fact, no. And the more you, the more you understand that and the more you coax your immune system into love and into, into love.

    5. LH

      Hmm.

    6. JD

      Like we, well, I just did this little thing on, um, on our social media where I was talking about the inner army of order.

    7. LH

      Mm-hmm.

    8. JD

      And what would be the signal-

    9. LH

      Hmm

    10. JD

      ... you would want that inner army to get. And so we created this meditation and we said, What would invincibility feel like? Signal your body and feel invincible. H- how would you feel if you had an uncompromising will, that you had more energy than you could possibly imagine? Show your body what it feels like because it is that emotion of invincibility, that emotion of an uncompromising will to empower your inner world, and you have the intent of that's what it's for. Wow, get ready because you're gonna start creating a cadence and a rhythm where your, your body's going, Whoa, what, what are the, what is all these new chemicals? What are all these new signals?

    11. LH

      Right.

    12. JD

      Hey, hey, it's time. Hey, hey, uh, now all of a sudden receptor sites on the T cells go, Wow, we got some new signals coming from the boss here.

    13. LH

      Right.

    14. JD

      Let's open up all those T cell receptors. Let, let's go. We... and in fact, we're, we're, we, we would love a little fight right now 'cause we got a lot of time on our hands and we got all our receptors turned on.

    15. LH

      [laughs]

    16. JD

      Let's go. I mean, that, that would be a signal for your body. We also know that if you could just trade fear and frustration and resentment and suffering, uh, for an elevated emotion and truly open your heart again and practice doing that, um, you'll heal. Uh-

    17. LH

      You'll heal

    18. JD

      ... you'll heal. Because, I mean, all healings happen in the heart.

    19. LH

      Hmm.

    20. JD

      And we've seen some really incredible moments, uh, in the last year where people that were traumatized from childhood, that were abused sexually, physically, emotionally, that were suicidal, that had all kinds of health conditions, they came to the edge of that emotion that kept them connected to the past, and they were ready to give up in one meditation because th- they, they never had felt an emotion like this that they could remember.

    21. LH

      Hmm.

    22. JD

      That it was so intense. And they thought about all the times for the last year that they never missed a day of doing a meditation, even when they didn't feel like it, or when they wanted to quit halfway through and they didn't and they went all the way. They thought about all those times that they went to that point, and they went one more time.

    23. LH

      Really?

    24. JD

      And their, and their words are always the same. And my heart blew wide open, and I look back at my entire past and I don't wanna change one thing in my past because it brought me to this present moment. And I can see my betrayers. I could, uh, see the people in my life, uh, that had a hand in this, and I have nothing but compassion for them. Because now the person is no longer viewing that past from the same level of consciousness. They're viewing it from a place of love, of wholeness.

    25. LH

      Hmm.

    26. JD

      And they see the greater good of all of it. And now they're, they're [laughs] , they're, they're conditions, their health conditions, their endometriosis, their uterine tumors, I mean, whatever it is, literally goes, disappears, and they have an incredible, incredible change in their brain chemistry. They're in love with life. They're off their meds. Uh, they're not suicidal. They're... Why, why would they be? They're free. So it can happen in an instant when the heart is healed, and everybody gets the new signal. The body's out of the past. The body's no longer feeling the emotions of the past. And sometimes we gotta come right up against that edge. That's the-

    27. LH

      Yeah

    28. JD

      ... that's the great moment. So-

    29. LH

      It's probably not sometimes, it's probably every time.

    30. JD

      Yeah.

  8. 30:05 – 34:23

    Becoming Aware and Unplugging from Unconscious Programs

    1. LH

      So how do we brainwash ourselves in times of stress and anxiety in order to become more peaceful, loving, and successful in the future? How do we w- brainwash ourselves in a different way?

    2. JD

      Sure. Well, um, that's what, uh, I have spent just about my whole life [laughs] .

    3. LH

      [laughs]

    4. JD

      I... [laughs] And, and, um, wow, I mean, the first and most important thing is that you have to understand that if 95% of who you are is a set of unconscious programs-

    5. LH

      Hmm

    6. JD

      ... then the first step is lighting a match in a dark place. If you wanna become someone else, you gotta become aware of who you are. [laughs]

    7. LH

      Yes.

    8. JD

      That means you gotta start th- thinking about what you've been thinking about. You gotta start paying attention to how you speak. You gotta be conscious.

    9. LH

      Hmm. Being conscious to every thought, action-

    10. JD

      Emotion

    11. LH

      ... word, emotion-

    12. JD

      Yeah

    13. LH

      ... feeling, expression, body language.

    14. JD

      It's that. Yeah

    15. LH

      Everything you need to be aware of and conscious of.

    16. JD

      Self-aware.

    17. LH

      Is there, is there, is there a way that you help people to track- This besides of just like, okay, I'm aware of this in the moment. Do they journal the, their thoughts throughout the day, or when a negative thought comes up, do they remember the way their body language is throughout the day, closed off and guarded or open? Do they... H- how do they self-reflect where they can track it better?

    18. JD

      Hmm. Wow, that's a big question. But I, I will tell you this, that you demystify the word meditation, and the word meditation literally means become familiar with.

    19. LH

      Yeah.

    20. JD

      And when you become so familiar with your thoughts, so aware of your emotions, so conscious of your habits, that you wouldn't go unconscious to, to them again, now you're no longer the program, right?

    21. LH

      Mm-hmm.

    22. JD

      So, so getting people disentangled from that program we found out is a formula. And when we teach people how to do certain things with their focus and opening their awareness, when we teach them how to create a very disorderly brain that has been driven by the hormones of stress into a more orderly, coherent brain, and teach them how to open their focus and practice that, they'll come up against those thoughts and they'll become so familiar with them, listen to this, they won't believe them anymore when they come up any longer.

    23. LH

      Wow.

    24. JD

      And so when they hear them in their day, they'll be like, "That's not gonna stop me from my future." So if they're sitting there and they wanna quit, just because they're sitting still and they're not quitting, then they're developing a will that's greater than those programs, and you're breaking out of the shell. And you keep doing that, you're gonna get up and do the work every day, 'cause you did it yesterday, and you're gonna wanna do more of that because you're getting out of your past, and it feels better. And if you keep doing that, and you keep feeling better every day, the question is, why wouldn't you do it every day? [laughs] 'Cause you would ultimately just feel better.

    25. LH

      Yeah.

    26. JD

      And then the more whole you feel means the more you are connected to your future. Imagine if you felt every single day, and this is what I do work on, if I could stay connected to the emotions of my future all day long, there's no way I would be looking for when it would be happening. How could I look for when it would be happening if I feel like it's happening? I wouldn't s- look anymore, which means I wouldn't be separate from it, and that's when you start creating the magic, right? That's when you're in that zone, and that's when that reaffirms that personality that you're becoming. And now you don't, you know, wake up in the morning and go, "Oh, God, I gotta create my future."

    27. LH

      [laughs]

    28. JD

      No, you're, you're, you're gonna jump out of bed because-

    29. LH

      Excited

    30. JD

      ... you're not gonna want that magic to end. That's the key.

  9. 34:23 – 39:46

    Knowledge, Repetition, and Embodying New Information

    1. LH

      If someone is so disconnected to their future, their greater future self, if they're so, uh, uh, negative thoughts, suicidal thoughts, often, uh, hurting themselves potentially often, uh, just don't have many close friends, don't feel like they identify with themselves in the world, don't feel like anyone understands them, no one accepts them, no one gets them. Like, this all sounds great in theory, but when you're in a place of survival mode in your thoughts constantly, how can someone like that, without having to go through the workshop, that doesn't have the opportunity to go right now, what can they start to do to just give some, a little bit of relief and peace in their heart?

    2. JD

      Yeah, it's simple. Knowledge, experience, wisdom. Philosophy, initiate that philosophy.

    3. LH

      Mm-hmm.

    4. JD

      Master it.

    5. LH

      Yep.

    6. JD

      Mind, body, soul. Thinking, doing, being. Learning it with your head, applying it with your hands, knowing it by heart. And this is the journey of knowledge, because when you learn that information and you really study it, you are going to begin to see the world differently-

    7. LH

      Yeah

    8. JD

      ... because your brain is changing. Then when you start saying, "How can I use this? How can I apply it? How can I personalize it? How could I do something, initiate s- this information? What do I gotta do? How do I get my behaviors to match my intentions?" Now, this is the act of trial and error. It's so important. You don't make it the first time, you don't give up. You get up and you try to walk again, and you start learning how to do this. And so as you begin to do it over and over again, you start having new experiences.

    9. LH

      Yes.

    10. JD

      Well, new experiences enrich the circuits in your brain philosophically, and now the brain makes a chemical, and now you're feeling more unlimited. You're feeling more whole. You're teaching your body chemically to understand what your mind intellectually understood, stood. And now you are literally, literally starting to embody that knowledge.

    11. LH

      Yeah.

    12. JD

      It's becoming, it- it's signaling new genes. It's new information. But, but you can't do it one day and expect your wealth to come. You gotta do it over and over again.

    13. LH

      Yes.

    14. JD

      So the repetition of re- practicing over and over again neurochemically conditions the mind and body to begin to work as one. You've done it so many times, the body now knows how, how to do it subconsciously-

    15. LH

      Subconsciously

    16. JD

      ... better than the conscious mind.

    17. LH

      Just like it, just like it knew how to subconsciously lean into trauma and victim mode-

    18. JD

      Right

    19. LH

      ... for decades.

    20. JD

      Now the body's getting new information. It's going to adapt. And, and now, [laughs] you're going to literally become that knowledge. You're gonna become it. That's what you're gonna become. And so now that's when you no longer have to try. It's who you are. It's-

    21. LH

      Yes.

    22. JD

      Yeah. You've memorized an internal order that's greater than anything in your outer world that's gonna tell you something else.

    23. LH

      You-

    24. JD

      That's key right there

    25. LH

      ... and you become immunity to negative thoughts or negative viruses, where if something tries to, someone tries to say something to you, your body just rejects it automatically, just as if your physical body would reject, uh, some virus coming in. Is that correct?

    26. JD

      That's absolutely the way it works.

    27. LH

      If I said, "Dr. Joe, you can't do it, you're stupid, you're ugly, you're not smart enough, you're not this," you wouldn't even re- they wouldn't even... It would just bounce right off you. You wouldn't even receive it. 'Cause your field is so powerful, it's pushing all that away

    28. JD

      No, because it's not the truth

    29. LH

      There you go.

    30. JD

      It's not-

  10. 39:46 – 45:18

    Testimonies and Believing in Yourself

    1. JD

      We've seen then when people do this with the same, stand on the stage and tell the story, that there's, that the person in the audience with the same genetic condition does it in a shorter amount of time because the formula-

    2. LH

      There's the proof

    3. JD

      ... miles are broken.

    4. LH

      Yeah, of course

    5. JD

      Yeah, it's evidence. The evidence becomes the loudest voice. Why?

    6. LH

      Mm-hmm

    7. JD

      Because it's in testimony. There's, there's truth right in front of you. That's... It's, it's, it's, it's right in front of you. There's... You know, we had a guy in Dubai that had... He was in a wheelchair with this, with this tumor in his spine, and the doctors sent him home to die. He came across my book like a week before. They got him-

    8. LH

      Which book?

    9. JD

      Uh, Becoming Supernatural.

    10. LH

      Mm-hmm.

    11. JD

      And, and then he read the book and he, he somehow got in there. Someone gave him a spot. He was in a wheelchair. Uh, stage four cancer, go home and die. Uh, severe, uh, paralysis, a limitation. Um, crowding the spinal cord, the whole bit. Um, nothing we can do for you. All these pain meds. Uh, excruciating pain. H- One week after the week long, his tumor reduced by 30%.

    12. LH

      Mm.

    13. JD

      I just saw him in, in Munich. He's, he can walk. He's walking without his wheelchair.

    14. LH

      Wow.

    15. JD

      I mean, he's, he's in a, he's in a new experience. He, he's believing now in himself. And when you believe in yourself, you believe in possibility. You can't have one without the other.

    16. LH

      How do you believe in yourself when you've never believed in yourself and you've got doubt inside of you all day long?

    17. JD

      Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge. Keep learning, keep studying, keep listening to it. Sooner or later, that'll become a louder voice in your head than, "I can, it's too hard, I'll never change."

    18. LH

      Yeah.

    19. JD

      It's a-

    20. LH

      And you mean knowledge of, knowledge of new philosophies, knowledge of new skills, knowledge of new anything

    21. JD

      Study. Study. If you, if you don't wanna read, get on YouTube and watch-

    22. LH

      Yeah, of course

    23. JD

      ... people talk about how you can change your genes. Just start looking. Start s- looking at the testimonies on websites. I mean, we have over 450 testimonies now-

    24. LH

      Yeah

    25. JD

      ... of people that have healed themselves. Not small potatoes.

    26. LH

      That's amazing. That's amazing

    27. JD

      The... Start looking to see what did that person do, and when they tell their story that's worse than yours, you're gonna start going, [laughs] "Wow, that person really had a tough one, and if they overcame it, well geez, why won't I? Well, I could just forgive my father right now. I could forgive-

    28. LH

      Yeah

    29. JD

      ... my ex right now. I wanna let them go, and I wanna be free."

    30. LH

      [laughs]

    Coronavirus Fear, Intermission, and Consuming News

    1. LH

      So what id- what advice do you give to people who are in the whole coronavirus stress, anxiety moment right now where they feel like the world is ending, there's no end in sight, I have to protect myself forever and...

    2. JD

      Yeah. Well, then, then, um, yeah, be careful because you're susceptible to it in that state. And, um, and listen, I mean, what a great... This is, this is... I'm doing this event next week called Intermission or Intermission. Like, why not just take a pause?

    3. LH

      Mm.

    4. JD

      Break from the normal routine. Everybody's secretly dreamed about staying home from work.

    5. LH

      [laughs]

    6. JD

      Look, they got it. They got exactly what they want.

    7. LH

      You should be happy.

    8. JD

      They should be happy.

    9. LH

      Yeah.

    10. JD

      Now, listen, um, okay, make a choice, okay? Who do you wanna be when those, when those doors open up again? Retreat from your normal life, your normal routine.

    11. LH

      Mm.

    12. JD

      Take time and ask yourself, what is a greater expression of myself? Who can I forgive? How can I change?

    13. LH

      Mm.

    14. JD

      How can I love more? What, what, what, what is it that's stopping me from believing in my future?

    15. LH

      Mm.

    16. JD

      What do I need to learn about myself instead of mindlessly getting lost in all those distractions of social, you know, awareness? Why, why not get lost in yourself?

    17. LH

      Mm.

    18. JD

      And literally get... Not only mentally rehearse it, but physically demonstrate it. Become it. I mean, walk it. Become it in your walk as it. See what happens. For, for, for however long this goes, what's the worst thing that could happen to you? You get happy. I mean, so what? [laughs]

    19. LH

      Well, and those-

    20. JD

      But those people, but those people who have fear, yeah, fear suppresses the immune system. You'll be home-

    21. LH

      And so the more, the more we watch and consume from a fearful point of view... I'm, I'm all for getting the right updates so we know what we should be doing-

    22. JD

      Me too. Me too

    23. LH

      ... but not for and, like, okay, get updated. You've got the information, which is powerful once you have more knowledge, but not consuming based on fear, worry, and stress. Because what happens when we're always ba- uh, consuming based on fear information? What does it do to our body?

    24. JD

      Well-

    25. LH

      It hurts the immune system, right?

    26. JD

      Well, listen, you only accept, believe, and surrender to information equal to your emotional state.

    27. LH

      Wow.

    28. JD

      A person who's not feeling fear is less programmable, but that information in fear programs the autonomic nervous system to an output, and the output is very specific gene expression, is very specific things that happen to the immune system. So, so the m- the, the more you change that and the more you have the ability to alter that, the less likely you would be susceptible to it. Because the more you believe you're the creator of your reality, you would say, "I would never create that for myself."

    29. LH

      Wow.

    30. JD

      And now, now listen, the game changes here. Now, that doesn't mean that everybody should just run out and, and start breaking social distancing and handshakes-

  12. 49:09 – 50:57

    Dispenza's 60-Second Morning Practice

    1. LH

      What's the 60-second version of what you do on a daily basis internally to visualize your greater future self of what you want for your future to be, experience? Is there a process that you have?

    2. JD

      Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

    3. LH

      A, a brief process in-

    4. JD

      Yeah

    5. LH

      ... 60 seconds or less?

    6. JD

      60 seconds or less. It's... I can make it less than 60 seconds.

    7. LH

      Okay.

    8. JD

      So I mean, I ask myself, uh, what is the greatest expression of myself that I'm gonna present to the world today? Who do I wanna be when I open my eyes? Let me become conscious of who I don't wanna be, and let me become conscious of who I do want be. And I wanna become so conscious- Of who I no longer wanna be that I wouldn't go unconscious to him the whole entire day. And if I fall from grace, I am gonna give myself permission to get back up and continue. I'll love myself for that. And then I get clear on who I do wanna be, and how I wanna think, and how I wanna act, and how I wanna feel. And, and I rehearse it until I get to that point where I feel like I am that person, and then I just say, "Memorize this feeling." And then I do my best the entire day to maintain that inner state independent of the conditions in my outer world. And if I do it well, then we start seeing those synchronicities, the serendipities, the coincidences that, that cause us to believe more that we are the creator of our lives instead of the victim of our lives.

    9. LH

      Mm. I love this. What was the, what would you say to yourself, uh, about who you do wanna be this morning? What was that like for you?

    10. JD

      Oh, no, for me today I was, it was all about the, I wanted to be the expression of knowledge, the expression of information. I wanted to really feel, uh, like I'm more equipped, uh, every day in, in, in believing what, what we do and, and, and hopefully make a difference in the world in some way. That's... And if I do that, uh, in, in a day then, yeah, I, I love that feeling.

      I love this, man. I've got a couple questions left for you. Uh, I love when you said, "All healing happens in the heart." And no one, it doesn't s- it doesn't seem like people teach us how to heal the heart from an early age. It doesn't-

    2. JD

      Yeah

    3. LH

      I don't remember media or teachers, uh, I guess you get this from-

    4. JD

      Parents. Not even parents

    5. LH

      I get... I mean, I grew up in a, it's funny 'cause I think I've told you this a few times now since you've been on a few times. I grew up in a religion called Christian Science where every Wednesday night we had these, it was called testimony meetings, where we went to church on Wednesday nights to hear healing testimonials of other people in our community like us that we could see, like, oh, I'm like Suzy, or I'm like Jeff, or I'm like whatever. They were going through this challenge, whether it be a mental challenge, a physical ailment, and we would watch these testimony meetings. I mean, I would watch them, and I would see, oh, wow, if this person can overcome this, so can I, and I started to have a different story. So this religion taught me a lot of things that you talk about. I feel like I had the privilege of going through and experiencing.

    6. JD

      [clears throat] Right.

    7. LH

      It wasn't perfect, and this, you know, I had some of my own challenges. But I got to fortunately have this type of a learning at an early age about testimony, and about healing, and about knowing the truth, and about elevating your consciousness and your mindset through spiritual awareness and... But in general, it, I don't feel like most people had that opportunity to learn these things. How do we get to a place of learning them, how to heal the heart, when it's not relevant, I mean, it's not information that's out in the world?

    8. JD

      Yeah. Well, listen, I've, I have taken a lot of hits, uh, over the last-

    9. LH

      You have

    10. JD

      ... 20 years.

    11. LH

      Over a decade, man

    12. JD

      And now I, I really don't even care. You know, I don't-

    13. LH

      You were the crazy guy talking about-

    14. JD

      Yeah

    15. LH

      ... you know, water changing itself and it, uh, uh, but-

    16. JD

      Whatever. Whatever.

    17. LH

      [laughs]

    18. JD

      I mean, I was, I was saying that our thoughts do have an effect on our bodies and our lives, and I mean, I wanna demystify that process. But, but now, I mean, it's such an amazing-

    19. LH

      Yes

    20. JD

      ... time. It's, in an age of information, ignorance really is a choice. I mean, there's so much out there for you to understand what it does do for you in the right way. Now, discernment is another issue.

    21. LH

      Mm-hmm.

    22. JD

      But, uh, because you gotta learn. But, but again, if you can get people to retreat from their lives and to remove the constant stimulation in their outer environment that reminds them of who they think they are as a personality, you know, separate from people and the objects and places and all that information that's reaffirming your identity long enough to learn information, new information, wire it in your brain, and then give people numerous opportunities to overcome themselves. Numerous opportunities to connect. Put 'em in a community where everybody's opening their heart. Put it in the community where everybody's striving to overcome themselves. Start having to be defined by a vision of the future instead of the memories of the past. Let's see what happens, and give, keep giving them more information and keep evolving the experience. Once they start breaking through, energy naturally moves back into the heart, and when it gets to the heart it goes right to the brain. And now I've seen this. We just saw the most beautiful scans, uh, in our last week-long event. We had a team of, of scientists come and study us, and when that heart starts getting more orderly and more loving, it's like a, like taking a big sheet and just whoosh. There's a flood of energy right up into the brain, and you see the brain take this wave.

    23. LH

      Mm.

    24. JD

      And it goes right into alpha, and the brain's getting creative energy. It's information that's being driven on that and-

    25. LH

      Mm

    26. JD

      ... and the heart is doing that in so many ways. And, and the field around the body's expanding, and now there's energy to heal. I mean, so a person, if it takes them a week to get there, who cares? If it takes them a month to get there, who cares? Because I just saw a guy in Munich when I was, on our last event, and I was walking through the park when everybody was doing the walking meditation. He ran up to me and grabbed me by the arm, and he said, "Listen, I, uh, in that last meditation I came up to my edge, you know, and, and the next thing you know I had the memory of me being a child and being abused. And I remember the feeling that I had." And, um, I saw that beautiful guy, uh-

    27. LH

      Mm

    28. JD

      ... and I just saw him from a place of love. And I don't know, I, I had a heart condition. I, I haven't checked yet 'cause I'm still at the event, but I'm telling you I feel so much better. I feel so whole. I feel like I can breathe again. I can f- I feel like a, I feel like that kid again, like that young kid, pure, clean. So the healing took place in his heart, and he had to just have a moment where he was surrendered so much that new information could come in that was relevant to him.

    29. LH

      Mm.

    30. JD

      And that information's in the field. It's not just in his brain. And that, uh, the act of learning the formula on how to suppress the thinking brain and get beyond the analytical mind to reprogram, write a new story, record a new track. Uh, in teaching people how to rehearse something new, uh, when they, when they keep doing it over and over again, the side effect of it is that the body naturally moves into wholeness.

    Books, Events, and Final Thoughts

    1. LH

      Oh, Dr. Joe, thank you for, uh, constantly giving me so much wisdom, and to our listeners and our viewers who love your information. Uh, I know you have a number of books that people should be diving into. What is the f- one someone should dive into first? If they can have some of this meditation practice, some of this-

    2. JD

      Yeah

    3. LH

      ... visualization, what, where should they download on Audible or online to get this?

    4. JD

      Yeah, I would, I would start with Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself. Uh-

    5. LH

      Okay

    6. JD

      ... How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One. I think that's a good foundation for people. Then, then, uh, You Are The Placebo, another book that's a more evolution of how to heal by thought alone, and, and the power of, of, of the, how we believe and perceive. And, um, and then, and then Becoming Supernatural I think would probably a good one. But some people like Becoming Supernatural because they want all the, ev- everything at once.

    7. LH

      Everything.

    8. JD

      But if you want that, you can start there. But, but we have-

    9. LH

      And you do, you, you read them all on the, um, audios as well? And there's audiobooks?

    10. JD

      Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

    11. LH

      Yeah.

    12. JD

      And then there's tons of stuff on our website for all kinds of things that we do.

    13. LH

      Yeah. And your, your site, your main site is drjoedispenza.com?

    14. JD

      Yeah.

    15. LH

      And you have events, uh, typically right now they're on pause, but you typically have events, uh-

    16. JD

      [laughs]

    17. LH

      ... um, a number of times throughout the year, correct?

    18. JD

      Yeah, we, we do those week-long events on the average of once a month.

    19. LH

      Wow.

    20. JD

      Uh-

    21. LH

      You're a machine, man.

    22. JD

      Well-

    23. LH

      You're a machine of love

    24. JD

      ... [laughs] it's too good. Surf's up, man. It's-

    25. LH

      I love it, man

    26. JD

      ... too good.

    27. LH

      I love this. So definitely s- I mean, I've had so many people listen and, and watched over the last few years who've, who've seen our interviews that have said they've gone to your workshops, and they swear by how powerful they are. So make sure you guys pre-sign up for one in the future right now, because, um, I'm assuming some are on pause currently. But the ones that are in the future, get on the wait list, get a ticket, whatever you gotta do. Get the books. Um, subscribe to you on Instagram, all the places online. Uh, where else can we go to support you and get involved in this type of information?

    28. JD

      Gosh, I mean, that sounded pretty good. We have, uh, [laughs] we have, like, teleclasses. You know, we, we, you know, we do, you know, all kinds of things that... But it's all on the website.

    29. LH

      It's on the website.

    30. JD

      Yeah.
