How the Subconscious Gets Programmed
1. BLBruce Lipton
  Most of us do have a concern about, "What if I don't have the money? You know, I can't get healthcare, I can't get food, I can't... Where am I gonna sleep? Homeless people, where do they come from?" You know? A- and so the significance about all this is if you're concerned about the money, you're concerned about the fact that your programming said-
2. LHLewis Howes
  I think you gotta have a dream.
3. SPSpeaker
  The School of Greatness.
4. LHLewis Howes
  Really? [laughs] Yeah.
5. SPSpeaker
  Please welcome Lewis Howes.
6. LHLewis Howes
  Can you break down, um, really how our minds are programmed in the first place so we can start to understand these different things, what's happening in the world?
7. BLBruce Lipton
  Lewis, that's one of the more important insights, because if you understand the nature of the programming, then you have an insight into why your life is coming out this way. Because in conclusion, [laughs] 95% of our life is coming from those programs. Uh, and if you understand that, then there's an opportunity to see the programs and also to rewrite the programs, which is where freedom comes from. And so let's-
8. LHLewis Howes
  So how, how do we, how do we see the programs first, then?
9. BLBruce Lipton
  Okay, easy. You ready?
10. LHLewis Howes
  Yes.
11. BLBruce Lipton
  Your life, 95% is coming from the program. So you look at your life right now and recognize all the things that you like that come into your life, they come in because you have programs to acknowledge those things. But the things that you strive for, wish for, work hard for, put effort into it, sweat over, you know, and it's like, "I'm gonna make it. I'm working on it."
12. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
13. BLBruce Lipton
  I go, "Why are you working so hard?" And the answer inevitably is, whatever program you've got doesn't support that destination, and then you are gonna try to use your conscious awareness to override the program. Uh, and, um, that's not a very successful approach. [laughs]
14. LHLewis Howes
  So, so, should we not be working so hard? Is that what you're saying?
15. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah. If you understand how it works, you don't have to work so hard. That's the whole beautiful part about it. But you know, there's a whole phrase, uh, "Knowledge is power." That's been around 1,000 years. Knowledge is power. Y- I wanna rephrase it, uh, more personal in our world today as a lack of knowledge is a lack of power.
16. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
17. BLBruce Lipton
  And what we don't know about how we work, that has disempowered us from taking control [laughs] of how we work. Uh, and-
18. LHLewis Howes
  Right
19. BLBruce Lipton
  ... the, the idea of taking control, let me, let me emphasize something very clear to begin with. Quantum physics as a, as a science is perhaps the most valid of all sciences, because the theoretical ideas have almost all been materialized in the research. And I go, "So what's important?" I go, "Primary number one principle." Ready? Consciousness is creating our life experiences. I go, "What does that mean?" I say, "We are creators. That's quantum physics." Uh, uh, uh, and the idea about that, then I look at people and I go, "Well, how's your creation going here?" [laughs]
20. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
21. BLBruce Lipton
  You know? And it's like, "It's not really going very well." I say, "But you're the creator." And it's like, "Well, no, I feel like the victim." And I go, "Lack of knowledge is a lack of power. That's where it comes from."
22. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
23. BLBruce Lipton
  So should I talk about the programming? I think that might be helpful-
24. LHLewis Howes
  Yes, please
25. BLBruce Lipton
  ... right at the beginning.
26. LHLewis Howes
  Yes.
27. BLBruce Lipton
  It's a very simple understanding, because the brain is an information processor, a computer. That's exactly what it is. And now that we have so much familiarity with the, uh, silicon-based computer, this carbon-based computer in here, it's the same fundamental mechanisms. They're both use the same thing. So let's go back in the old days, for example, when, um, uh, before they put programs in your computer. You could go buy a brand-new computer, come home, push start, boots up, screen lights up. I say, "Now do something." And you go, "Can't do anything." I say, "Got a brand-new computer." You go, "Not until I put programs in the computer can I use the computer."
28. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm. Right.
29. BLBruce Lipton
  So the idea is in the last trimester of pregnancy, a fetus brain lights up, screen's on, but it can't do anything until programs come in. And so the first seven years of a child's life, the brain is functioning at a vibration. And let me just emphasize vibration, 'cause what is that? Uh, when you put wires on a person's head, it's called electroencephalograph, and you can read brain function, but the functions are in vibrational frequencies. Okay? Uh, the lowest frequency is delta. That's sleep. The highest frequency, well, it's called gamma. That's peak performance. Uh, and then one that we're almost always in is beta, which is thinking, schoolroom, focused consciousness. When you go home at night from that beta thinking process, you relax, then the vibrations even slow down a bit more, and then you're in alpha, which is calm consciousness. And then the moment you fall asleep, the moment you just lost it, you're gone, your brain is in now a lower vibration called theta. Well, a child's life is in theta for the first seven years. I go, "So what does it represent?" Theta is hypnosis.
30. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
7:36 – 12:00
Money Beliefs, Competition and the Garden
1. LHLewis Howes
  I feel like a lot of people are overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious, and are in fear based around the topic of money.
2. BLBruce Lipton
  100%.
3. LHLewis Howes
  They don't understand it. They don't have enough of it. They don't know how to manage it. They don't wanna lose it.
4. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah.
5. LHLewis Howes
  They, you know, all these different fears. What do you think are the core differences, different beliefs between someone who is wealthy or in an abundance with money versus someone who is financially poor and struggling with money?
6. BLBruce Lipton
  This is the, the whole subject of a very important book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, and it goes back to everything I said. It's the programming in the first seven years of your life that you're gonna run that life from. The program is observing other people. If your father was well off and well-to-do, then you unconsciously downloaded the behavior to manifest what he was manifesting. But if you come from a poor family and all you talk about is struggle, and we can't get there, and it's so hard, and life is trouble, and blah blah blah, you downloaded that one. I say so most of us did not come from the rich family one. Okay?
7. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
8. BLBruce Lipton
  And that means most of us do have a concern about what if I don't have the money? You know, I can't get healthcare. I can't get food. I can't... Where am I gonna sleep? Homeless people, where do they come from, you know? A- and so the significance about all this is if you're concerned about the money, you're concerned about the fact that your programming said you're not successful, that you're not gonna make it. This is a rat race. That's Darwinian theory, which has screwed us big time because it's false, and it was based on Darwinian theory. It's a struggle for survival based on competition. Winner, loser, competition, you know? And I saw that as completely not the drive force of evolution. It's actually the 180 degrees opposite drive force. Give a simple point. A garden is not a battleground. By definition, a garden is everybody's cooperating. Then we come into the garden, evolve, and then guess what? We turned it into a battleground. And guess what?
9. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
10. BLBruce Lipton
  Now we're facing an extinction because we're destroying the ecosystem that provides for us. So, uh, the point was this. Battleground was never built into the system. It was acquired. People seeking power over each other, uh, uh, you know, a- and it started with force. The first power is force. [laughs] You don't want it my way, pow. Now you do it my way. And, a- a- and that was the first power that came in. A- and people are living under a misbelief that life is a struggle, and if they don't go out there in that rat race and compete like all the other rats out there-
11. LHLewis Howes
  Mm
12. BLBruce Lipton
  ... they're gonna not make it. So guess what?
13. LHLewis Howes
  Yeah.
14. BLBruce Lipton
  Everybody's out on a, you know, competition bent. And the unfortunate part, here's a sportsperson, sir. The definition of competition is not the one we're using today. That's an inaccurate definition. The way we look at competition, that's a winner, loser conflict. You know, whether it's two sports team, winner, loser, whatever it is. Okay? But no, the original definition of competition, to strive together.
15. LHLewis Howes
  Hm. Really?
16. BLBruce Lipton
  What does that mean? It says, "You wanna be a tennis player? Don't play the weaker person. You're not gonna learn anything from him. Play the, the more powerful person." Why? It's a competition, but what was the point? I'll do better if I learn by playing from the, the better player than if I learn from the weaker player.
17. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
18. BLBruce Lipton
  So that kind of competition isn't winner, loser. Both people win. The guy who was better won the game. The other guy wins. Why? Now I got better, you know, technique. So, uh, we live in a winner, loser competition, which is, uh, leads to violence and struggle and war and all that other like that. Uh, not recognizing evolution says, "Get back into the garden, man." Why?
19. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
20. BLBruce Lipton
  Everything is cooperating in the garden. [laughs] We are not.
21. LHLewis Howes
  Right, right.
22. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah.
23. LHLewis Howes
  What would be the, the, the reprogramming that you would share with someone who's, who grew up, like a majority of people maybe, who didn't have, like, the wealthiest parents, and they were programmed that, you know, money is the root of all evil, or it's hard to make money, or-
24. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah
25. LHLewis Howes
  ... or we never have enough to buy what we want.
26. BLBruce Lipton
  Well, that, that's the negative-
27. LHLewis Howes
  Would there be a, would there be a s-
28. BLBruce Lipton
  ... programming.
29. LHLewis Howes
  Yeah.
30. BLBruce Lipton
  That's the one that keeps you poor all the time.
12:00 – 14:32
Reprogramming: Self-Love, Deservability and Present Tense
1. LHLewis Howes
  What would be, what would be the new script to reprogram and- And how effective would it be for someone to do this right before they go to sleep t- with the new script?
2. BLBruce Lipton
  Well, any, yeah, anything that you put in your mind consciously before you go to sleep is still lingering in there as you go to sleep, so it's like fomenting [laughs] inside.
3. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
4. BLBruce Lipton
  Okay? Uh, the, the, I think the, the very first thing is this. Even before the money, I said, "What was the first one?" I said, "You have to love yourself because that means you will take care of yourself." And people don't love themselves, they don't take care of themselves, and you know that. You've seen people-
5. LHLewis Howes
  Yeah
6. BLBruce Lipton
  ... physiologically fall apart in front of your face 'cause they don't take care of themselves. Why? They-
7. LHLewis Howes
  They make poor choices with their nutrition or working out or their lifestyle
8. BLBruce Lipton
  ... everything. It's not relevant.
9. LHLewis Howes
  Yeah.
10. BLBruce Lipton
  But if they have a pet, "Oh man, my pet's gonna get the best food. My pet's gonna get the best healthcare. I'm gonna, you know, take care of this pet." Do they take care of themselves? Not as good as they take care of the pet. [laughs] Right away, there's your problem. So number one is first identify you love yourself because then everything you do after that will be supporting your love.
11. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
12. BLBruce Lipton
  Okay?
13. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
14. BLBruce Lipton
  Then deservability. I do not deserve. Why? Well, that's what I was programmed. I'm not smart enough. I'm not good enough. I'm not wealthy enough. I'm not beautiful enough, whatever. I go, " [laughs] You, you better start to programming I deserve X, I deserve Y." Okay? Not I will-
15. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm
16. BLBruce Lipton
  ... deserve it. I deserve. [laughs]
17. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
18. BLBruce Lipton
  It, uh, uh, again, I would just wanna emphasize that because any futurism in a subconscious mind doesn't work 'cause subconscious doesn't see future, it just sees the moment.
19. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
20. BLBruce Lipton
  So if you record, "I will be wealthy. I will be healthy," uh, I say, "When's that gonna happen?" I go, "Well, put it in the record and come back next year, Lewis, and let's push the button," and it says, "I will be healthy." And I go...
21. LHLewis Howes
  You're still not there, yeah.
22. BLBruce Lipton
  You can't get there because it never said you were there. You're, you're only in a want. [laughs] You can't get there. So the idea is that's why everything, if we go back to it, has to be in the present tense. I am healthy. I am wealthy. I am this, and I am lovable. The, you know, so s- that's really important. That's... If, if you don't do that right, then... But you can always reprogram. That's the beautiful part.
23. LHLewis Howes
  Sure.
24. BLBruce Lipton
  I say, "Oh, I screwed it up." Well then, reprogram it again. You can do it.
25. LHLewis Howes
  Yeah. How important is it for people to learn to heal the past, then, so that they can love themselves in the now as opposed-
26. BLBruce Lipton
  How, how-
27. LHLewis Howes
  ... to be taught to-
28. BLBruce Lipton
  Oh, to heal the past?
29. LHLewis Howes
  Yes.
30. BLBruce Lipton
  You will automatically start doing that when you start loving yourself.
14:32 – 21:28
We Are a Broadcast: Spirituality, Heaven and Fear of Death
1. BLBruce Lipton
  and let me give you something, because I had to learn a lot of le- you know, I learned s- some rules. I, you know, I had all these principles, then I had to walk the talk and I learned some rules. One, one of the, one of the most important rules i- is to let go of... after it's happened and you had... It's like, "Why am I carrying this around?" You know? Because it's interfering with my future. If I have the filter between me and the future, it's like I, I'm not gonna get there at some point. Letting go... A- and it's funny, I'm not a religious guy. I'm a spiritual person, but religion is somebody making up rules for you. [laughs] I go, "No. We, we are directly connected with source. There, nobody's gonna interfere with that, okay?" So, but, but it was really important to, to, uh, uh, recognize this character for a very important reason, 'cause it says you are more than this right here.
2. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
3. BLBruce Lipton
  This is a, this is... I, I call this a, um, uh, the, the television set. In other words, I'm receiving a broadcast, the Bruce broadcast. Bruce is not in here. That's what I learned in my cells is like, oh my God, we're not in here. We're receiving a broadcast. Because on the surface of your cells, there are s- antennas called receptors. I said, "Well, you got receptors." So they were on the surface. What? Eyes, ears, nose, taste, touch. They read the environment. Receptors read the environment, okay? Well, there's a unique set of receptors that each individual has, and no two people have the same set of these receptors, and they're called, interesting enough, self receptors.
4. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
5. BLBruce Lipton
  Uh, and so, uh, each person has a set of antennas, but they're different. No two people share the same set. So when you put your cells or an organ into another person's body, their immune system will look at those antennas and go, "No, that, that's not us," and then eliminate those cells. That's what the immune system will do. Okay? Well, I'm into all this stuff and the receptors and how it's all working, and then all of a sudden I realize, well, wait a minute, the difference between us is just a set of receptors. I- I- I if we're... I look at your liver cell, I look at my liver cell, I go, "99%. They're doing exactly the same thing." But you have Lewis receptors, I have Bruce receptors. I say, "But the receptors are antennas." I say, "Yeah, and they're on the outside of the cell surface." I go, "Then where do you think the signal is coming from to go to these receptors? Not inside."
6. LHLewis Howes
  Inside.
7. BLBruce Lipton
  "Outside." I say, " [gasps] Holy." Each of us is receiving a different broadcast, a frequency somewhere in the environment. Uh, uh, uh, uh, and in the quantum physics term, we talk about energy fields. That's what they talk about. In spiritual terms, we talk about spirit, which is what? An energy field. That each of us has our own energy field. Well, the m- that was the moment of transition in my life.
8. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
9. BLBruce Lipton
  First thing I said is, "Oh my God, I'm not in here. I'm the broadcast [laughs] that's being picked up here. I'm not in here." This is... That's where the analogy... This is a TV set that you're watching, Lewis. It's playing The Bruce Show right now.
10. LHLewis Howes
  Yes.
11. BLBruce Lipton
  And when you're watching a TV and it breaks, we say, "TV is dead." I go, "Yeah, it's not working anymore." Question: Is the broadcast still there after the TV is broken? The answer, of course it is. How do you know? I said, "Get another TV. Tune it to the station. You're back on again." I go, "Exactly. We are not in here. We are receiving a broadcast that no-
12. LHLewis Howes
  Mm
13. BLBruce Lipton
  ... two people get the same broadcast." And I go, "And what about that?" I go, "The broadcast is here whether you're here or not." Uh, uh, and then all of a sudden I s- w- 'cause I wasn't spiritual. Zero. How much? Zero. Bruce had zero spiritual until he saw this, and then he said, "Oh my God, my identity is not built in. My identity is a broadcast. That means if my television breaks, my television's dead, but my broadcast is still there."
14. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
15. BLBruce Lipton
  And it can be picked up by another embryo with the same set of antennas if it shows up, and I'm back. And all of a sudden it's like all this mystical stuff started going, "Oh my God, this is real. [laughs] This is totally real." And the most important thing, I lost the fear of death instantly.
16. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
17. BLBruce Lipton
  I just said, "I'm not a... This is not a, a, a believe in spirituality. This is a mechanism of spirituality." I go, "Therefore, if I die, I'm still here as a spirit," you know? And it's like the fear of death, which is the number one fear we started with, number one fear that all people have because only humans know they're gonna die. And then we bought religion stories and paid for these stories, and they told you what you can do and what you can't do, and it's a bunch of... Actually, there are good things to learn, but they're also, they're, they take away your power. They give you something, and they also take away your power. And, and then came to me the big story of all of a sudden when I realized, "Oh my God, I'm a broadcast and a television set." And I said to myself, "Why have a body? Why not just be the spirit?" My cells come up with a question. You ready? "If you're just a spirit, Bruce, what does chocolate taste like?"
18. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
19. BLBruce Lipton
  That's so deep you have to... I'm gonna give you another five minutes to put that one in there-
20. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
21. BLBruce Lipton
  ... if you're done with it. And the reason is this. Our perceptions are of our physical experiences.
22. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
23. BLBruce Lipton
  You know, anything from sight, smell, sound, touch, taste. Love is a feeling. That's physiology. The body is translating the environment into sensations which are broadcast back to source. So I came here to experience. I go, "Yeah." But I also came here because I can move around and create. And then all of a sudden the big one, boom, hit me right in the head there, Lewis. I said, "What was it?" I said, "Oh my God, people think you die and go to heaven." I go, "No, you were born into heaven." Why?
24. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
25. BLBruce Lipton
  What's your vision of heaven? Well, here it is. You're the creator. Manifest it. Oh my God, we can manifest heaven. I go, people fall in love, they all of a sudden feel, "Yeah, that's heaven. That was really great." [laughs] I go, "Well, you manifested that." And all of a sudden I realize, oh my God, people are so lost thinking, "Well, if I just be okay, I'll have heaven when I'm dead." And I'm going, "No, I think you missed it, folks. [laughs] This is heaven." If you understand how to get out of the program, then you become the manifester of the program, then heaven is a way of life right here, right now for all of us. When we grow up, and especially important, uh, in regard to health, most people, I just say most families, when somebody's sick, they take... They go to the doctor. Okay, I go, "Great." So when you're a kid, you see Mommy go to the doctor, Daddy goes to the doctor, and then you go to the doctor.
21:28 – 25:25
Genes, Victimhood and the Medical System
1. BLBruce Lipton
  I say, "Why are you going to the doctor?" And the answer is, "It's about your health." I say, "Yeah, but what's the point?" You ready? You don't know anything about your health, but they do.
2. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
3. BLBruce Lipton
  So all of a sudden you seek their advice. And I go, "Well, then their words become your truth because you have no other truth but what they said." And all of a sudden then you become a victim, uh, in your biology according to the program because the program said your life is controlled by genes. I go, "So what does that mean?" I go, "Well, as far as I know, I didn't pick them and I can't change them if I don't like the character, and they turn on and off by themselves." Victim what? Heredity. I, I got genes.
4. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
5. BLBruce Lipton
  It's not my life, it's my genes. And then everything-
6. LHLewis Howes
  Right. If my, if my grandparents had a heart attack, then I'm susceptible to this and, and, and onward and onward.
7. BLBruce Lipton
  Exactly. And cancer. You know, it's like, "Oh, I got cancer running in the family. Oh, there must be genes." And then a gene... And when I get that gene, I'm gonna get cancer, then I'm the victim. And the fear, [laughs] it goes on and on and on, uh, except for an interesting fact. There's no gene that causes cancer. There's not one gene-
8. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm
9. BLBruce Lipton
  ... that causes cancer. Cancer is associated with a disharmony. And so let's say the, the... Especially for women, they're very much, uh, concerned about the breast cancer gene, BRCA gene. The only thing is, 50% of the women that have the breast cancer gene never get cancer.
10. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm.
11. BLBruce Lipton
  I say, "So what's the meaning of that?" They say, "Possession of the gene doesn't cause cancer."
12. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
13. BLBruce Lipton
  "It's the, the lifestyle that's in disharmony that causes the cancer. The gene just supported it." And now we know 90% of cancer comes from people who have no cancer in their family.
14. LHLewis Howes
  Very interesting.
15. BLBruce Lipton
  Well, then where did the cancer come from? Lifestyle is manifesting cancer, and you can change your consciousness and you can change cancer. But, uh, people believe they're victims and, uh, and-
16. LHLewis Howes
  Right
17. BLBruce Lipton
  ... if you believe you're the victim, you give up your power. Remember that. Victim means-
18. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm
19. BLBruce Lipton
  ... I have no power. And then I say, "Well, who has power?" Well, over my spirit, the church has the power, and they tell me what to do. Over my health, the medical doctor has the power. They tell me what to do. And my life becomes shaped by those opinions that are not even mine. [laughs]
20. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
21. BLBruce Lipton
  Uh, uh, and this is the point. It's like, well, when do you think you're gonna become powerful? And I go, "Well, how about when you find out you are a spirit and you can never be disconnected from source?" Nobody can disconnect you from source. There's no such thing as hell, [laughs] you know?
22. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
23. BLBruce Lipton
  And health, uh, what do they know? In fact, in the United States, the third leading cause of death in the United States is called iatrogenic illness. First is heart disease, second is cancer, and third is, uh, result of medical treatment, iatrogenic illness.
24. LHLewis Howes
  Interesting. Interesting.
25. BLBruce Lipton
  So medicine is the third leading cause of death. I would, you know, so consciousness, I'd go, "Maybe I shouldn't follow their prescriptions [laughs] so much."
26. LHLewis Howes
  Right, right.
27. BLBruce Lipton
  [laughs]
28. LHLewis Howes
  I'm, I'm curi- I'm curious, Bruce, how many people in the world do you think are victims? What's the percentage of people that you think live in victimhood in their life?
29. BLBruce Lipton
  I'd have to say 90% or more.
30. LHLewis Howes
  Really?
25:25 – 34:12
Conscious vs. Subconscious Mind and the Story of Bill
1. LHLewis Howes
  And, and what do you think the differences are then between the, the conscious and the subconscious mind? And I know you've mentioned that-
2. BLBruce Lipton
  Well, that's, that's the game. That's the most important whole question you just asked there right now, Lewis, for this reason. The subconscious, I said, is the equivalent of a hard drive on a computer. It can run the show. You push start, it could do things. You don't have to even attend to it. It does it by itself. The conscious mind is the equivalent of who's typing on the keyboard, because you're the one that's putting information into this thing.
3. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
4. BLBruce Lipton
  The conscious mind... Uh, and here's the important part. Let's just start with this. The mind is controlling our biology. That's a fact. And I go, "But when you say the mind, it sounds like, oh, there's one mind." I go, "Now that is where it goes wrong, because there are two minds." And they, they both have different functions, and most importantly, they learn in different ways.
5. LHLewis Howes
  What are the two minds?
6. BLBruce Lipton
  Well, let's start with the latest evolution. Right behind your forehead is a lump of brain called prefrontal cortex, the seat of self-consciousness.
7. LHLewis Howes
  Uh-huh.
8. BLBruce Lipton
  I am an individual. I am separate from all other individuals. I am a self, and I'm a... you know, coming from this creative part. Uh, the subconscious mind, as we mentioned, that's just the hard drive with programs in it. So I say, "So what's the difference between it?" Well, the first thing is this. What makes humans so different than other organisms is the self-conscious or conscious mind, because it's creative. It has imagination. I could ask you right now, Lewis, I could tell you... I could ask you a question. I say, "Tell me what you want out of your life." Well, at that moment, you're gonna think, and you're gonna say, "You know, I want this, and I w- I want that." And I go, "Well, that came from the conscious mind. Now, it's creative. That has imagination. That has vision. And if you have a, a, a vision, you can then manifest a vision if you f-
9. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
10. BLBruce Lipton
  You can't manifest a vision if you don't have a vision. Ha. So conscious mind sets up visions and what we want. But here's the point, um, and th- this is the, the critical... The whole thing is on this one part right now, Lewis, right here, and that is this. The conscious mind, which is the creative mind, versus subconscious mind, which is the habit mind. It does habits. As does... It's programmed. Program's a habit. Push the button, play the program, push the button, play it again, push it, plays it again. Okay, program. Conscious mind, creator, okay? And I go, "Okay, significance of that is that's where your wishes and desires are. What do you want?" Oh, man, I want this, I want great relationship, I want a great job, I want great health. You know, you... Creative. The subconscious mind programs primarily derive from other people before age seven, okay? And unfiltered, so there are good programs and there are bad programs, okay? Uh, and I go, "So creative, conscious mind is the one that gives you a destination and a future."
11. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
12. BLBruce Lipton
  Subconscious mind just gives you autopilot. Okay, back to the crux of the problem. Only 5% of the day is the conscious mind actually engaged in creating. And I go to them, "What's it doing 95?" I go, "95%-
13. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
14. BLBruce Lipton
  ... of the day, it's thinking." I go, "So what does that mean?" I go, "Imagine your body's a vehicle, steering wheel. Consciousness is h- holding the wheel, and driving us to where? Wishes and desires, man." Okay? And I say, "But if I start thinking, then conscious mind's no longer looking out, because thinking is inside."
15. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
16. BLBruce Lipton
  It's a thought on the inside. I said, "Well, if you're thinking, then conscious mind is not looking out." I go, "Well, what if you're driving the car and then you start thinking?" I go, "Conscious mind, let go of the wheel." They say, "Oh, my God!" I go, "No, don't worry." "Why?" "Subconscious mind is autopilot. Whatever you're not controlling with your conscious mind, subconscious mind throws a program in and does it, okay?"
17. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
18. BLBruce Lipton
  Now, the issue about that is, well, if the conscious mind is thinking, is it observing what's going on? I go, "No. To observe what's going on, it has to look out the window. It can't be looking inside." So 95% of the day, it doesn't even observe your own behavior. I said, "But where's that behavior coming from?" I go, "The program." I go, "Well, yeah, but where did that come from?" I go, "Somebody else." And I go, "What's relevant?"
19. LHLewis Howes
  Interesting.
20. BLBruce Lipton
  Well, if they didn't put your wishes and desires into their life, then you copy their program. You're, you're not going toward your wishes and desires. You're going to wherever the hell their program is going to. That's how children follow in the foot paths of their parents.
21. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
22. BLBruce Lipton
  Es- especially like musicians. A, a musician who's a parent, uh, during the programming of their own child instills them with all the music and stuff like that. Then the child grows up, and guess what? Now they're a musician. People say, "The music gene." I go, "There's no music gene. There was training. [laughs] His first seven years, training to be that." So the issue is- 95% of our life is not coming from wishes and desires. It's coming from programs which came from other people, and you don't see it when it's happening. And I go, "Why not?" And I say, "Why are you playing a program?" "Because I'm not paying attention." I go, "Well, that's why you don't see the program."
23. LHLewis Howes
  Yeah.
24. BLBruce Lipton
  And I go, "And then 95% of your life is program, and then the relevance about that is that 60% of those are, are d- disempowering or self-sabotaging or limiting beliefs." So it says, "Then 95% of the day you're running your life and you're the only one that doesn't see it." I go, "Well, that's the big issue." I go, "The same story for 40 years." It's been in all my videos, but I gotta do it again 'cause different audience here.
25. LHLewis Howes
  Yeah.
26. BLBruce Lipton
  You have a friend. You know your friend's behavior very, very well. You're really, you know, good friends, and you happen to know your friend's parent. And one day you see your friend has the same behavior as their parent, so, you know, you gotta tell... You gotta tell, "Hey, Bill, you're just like your dad." Back away from Bill. I know exactly what Bill's gonna say all the time. Bill's gonna say, "How can you compare me to my dad? I'm nothing like my dad." The audience laughs. Why? They're familiar with it. I go, "That... You want the profound story of the day? That's the profound story." I go, "What does it mean?" Everybody else can see that Bill behaves like his dad. The only one who can't see it is Bill. Explain it simple. Yeah. Bill downloaded these programs from his dad. Yep. When does he play them? When he's thinking. And I say, "And how much of that?" I say, "95% of the day." I say, "Does he see the program?" I say, "No. Thinking is inside. He's not looking out."
27. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
28. BLBruce Lipton
  And so Bill's the only one that doesn't see it, and he got it from somebody else, and so it's not his behavior, and he could be sabotaging himself, and he's the only one that can't see it because why? Because he's thinking. And I go, "And the..." Okay. You ready? All of us are Bill.
29. LHLewis Howes
  Right. [laughs]
30. BLBruce Lipton
  All of us every day are Bill. We're playing the same programs. We look at life going, "Oh, man, that's not what I wanted. I w- oh, this is not really good." And I go, "Where's this coming from?" "Well, those people are causing, those people are causing..." I go, "No. You're the creator."
34:12 – 44:06
Lipton's Own Story: Relationships, Muscle Testing and His Book
1. LHLewis Howes
  So can you give an example of s- maybe you've worked with a lot of people in the last, you know, many decades who have probably a lot of the same limiting thoughts, limiting beliefs that hold them back.
2. BLBruce Lipton
  That's what culture is. [laughs]
3. LHLewis Howes
  Right. What are the main limiting beliefs that you just hear consistently that most people tend to have if they're not in a heavy, uh, uh, higher level program that they've caught and switched with?
4. BLBruce Lipton
  Well, one of the main beliefs that they're caught up in is the, uh, 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 a... [laughs] The belief system, uh, is translated into behavior. [laughs] 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 a most valid science, and principle number one is you're the creator of this. And it's like, well, when are you gonna 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 and everything is gone. You know? Listen, it took me a while. Uh, 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 going to tell anybody to listen to this, man.
5. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
6. BLBruce Lipton
  This is how it works. So I, 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'd go, "You know, Lipton, for a guy who says you know this, your, your life doesn't look that good."
7. LHLewis Howes
  Interesting.
8. BLBruce Lipton
  It was my wake-up call that said, "How the hell can I talk about how wonderful this is, and I'm not practicing it?" And I immediately said to myself, "No, don't go out there and talk to anybody about this..." Why? "... until you do it."
9. LHLewis Howes
  Inter- so what were the-
10. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah
11. LHLewis Howes
  ... 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.
12. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah. Well, uh, one of the things professionally, okay? I was doing a great job. I, I had a great professorship in a medical school, all that kind of stuff. Pr- you know, personally, my life sucked. [laughs]
13. LHLewis Howes
  Really?
14. BLBruce Lipton
  I couldn't 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.
15. LHLewis Howes
  Yeah.
16. BLBruce Lipton
  So my conscious mind goes forward and says, "Yeah, I wanna have a great relationship." I get into it. My subconscious mind steps up and says, "No, this is how we do a relationship, you..." Ooh, uh-oh. [laughs] Game over.
17. LHLewis Howes
  Right
18. BLBruce Lipton
  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 wanna be with this guy," you know? That was me. [laughs] Uh, 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, uh, now after years of working, people do not love themselves.
19. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm.
20. BLBruce Lipton
  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?"
21. LHLewis Howes
  No.
22. BLBruce Lipton
  And the answer is no.
23. LHLewis Howes
  'Cause you don't think you're lovable.
24. BLBruce Lipton
  That's right, and somebody says you are, uh, the, "Oh, I love you," and then you go, "Well, you know, you probably don't have any quality control. I know I'm not lovable. What's wrong with you?" You know? [laughs] 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. [laughs] I d- I pushed them away." You know? And I changed that. I was nearly, what? 45 years old, 40-some years old.
25. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm.
26. BLBruce Lipton
  And I had zero quality relationships for all that life.
27. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
28. BLBruce Lipton
  I changed the program, and within a couple years I, I'm now with my partner Margaret. Uh, and, and the fact is, uh, she was involved with a, um, workshop training program for people, so she understood processing and stuff. And when I came and we added the science and the processing, uh, we've been living a honeymoon for-
29. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm
30. BLBruce Lipton
  ... 26 years.
44:06 – 45:24
How to Do Muscle Testing
1. LHLewis Howes
  So what is this muscle balance test thing you were talking about? Is this... Do you-
2. BLBruce Lipton
  It's called muscle testing.
3. LHLewis Howes
  How do you do this?
4. BLBruce Lipton
  Well, uh, one, it'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.
5. LHLewis Howes
  An arm. Yeah.
6. BLBruce Lipton
  With the arm.
7. LHLewis Howes
  Push my arm down. Yeah.
8. BLBruce Lipton
  And the game is this. It's not arm wrestling. People think, "Oh, I'm gonna..." I say, no, no. The idea is this. You have to keep focus. You, you make a statement and you keep your mind on that statement. Uh, difference between that and this-
9. LHLewis Howes
  Give me, give me an exam- give me an example of like, uh-
10. BLBruce Lipton
  I love myself
11. LHLewis Howes
  ... I love my... Okay.
12. BLBruce Lipton
  I love myself.
13. LHLewis Howes
  Yeah.
14. BLBruce Lipton
  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," and the subconscious mind will give you all the reasons why you're not.
15. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm.
16. BLBruce Lipton
  Then guess what? Now the two minds are in disharmony, and now the, the arm will move. I say, "Well, how much does it move?" I say, "Well, all you need to know is it, it moved that much." [laughs] If it just moved that much.
17. LHLewis Howes
  A little bit. Yeah.
18. BLBruce Lipton
  Any more pushing or thing, now that's arm wrestling. It was... If, if they both agree, that's solid. That's not even gonna move. But if there's... If the two don't agree, then just even the first downward movement like that says, that's it, that you don't have to do anymore.
45:24 – 52:30
Three Ways to Reprogram: Hypnosis, Repetition and Energy Psychology
1. LHLewis Howes
  So how do you program then with knowing this information? You said it was like a 15-minute thing you did to-
2. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah. Okay
3. LHLewis Howes
  ... to program.
4. BLBruce Lipton
  Okay. Well, let, let me just say there are three ways to program, so there's, there's not just one. The, the, the one I'm gonna tell you is the fast.
5. LHLewis Howes
  Okay.
6. BLBruce Lipton
  It's, it's, it's a miracle one, okay? I'm gonna say, "Well, how'd you g- what are the other ways of programming a habit?" And I say, "Well, how'd you get the habit?" Because you were in hypnosis for seven years. And I say, "How do you get into hypnosis?" I say, "Well, guess what?" Uh, remember at, when you're at work, you have higher vibration, then you come home and the vibration calms down, alpha.
7. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm.
8. BLBruce Lipton
  And then the moment you fall asleep, you are in a vibration called theta, which is hypnosis. So putting earphones on at night with a program of what you want to be true in your life, and just put it... You're sleeping and the program is talking to your subconscious. And it's only a short window, so you repeat this a lot. Just put the programs on. And then one day, you wake up and the program is already manifested, okay?
9. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
10. BLBruce Lipton
  So that's hypnosis. It's called self-hypnosis, okay? Second way, you still learn things after you were seven years old. Driving a car, playing an instrument, you know, uh, sports. Whatever you learned then, okay? I go, "Well, how'd you learn that?" Because it became a habit. I say, repetition, practice. That's what makes a habit after age seven.
11. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
12. BLBruce Lipton
  Anything you want, then you gotta practice it, uh, uh, and you can manifest it, okay? The third way is the one we were just talking about, and that's a new form of psychology called energy psychology. I go, what does that mean? I go, may- maybe you've seen somebody, uh, read a book. It's called super learning. You know, they, they can open up a book to a page and they can take their finger and go down the page, and they read everything just as fast as... It went like that. They read every word on the page. That's called super learning. I go, these techniques, energy psychology engaged super learning. I say, "So what's relevant?" The earphones at night, the repetition, time-consuming repetition. You gotta do 'em both. Energy psychology, 15 minutes in a super learning state-
13. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm
14. BLBruce Lipton
  ... will download a behavior in 15 minutes. You walk away, it's totally different. Just boom, just as fast as that. Uh, and they say, "Oh, that's some new agey monkey." I go, "No, no."
15. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
16. BLBruce Lipton
  "This, this, this is, this is real." And I go, because since then, and I've been involved with a, a, a, um, a neuroscientist, uh, uh, Jeff Fannin. Uh, he was in his lab doing neuroscience stuff, brain mapping. That's what they called it. Someone in his, uh, a lab who worked there and went through a, what's... a energy psychology process, the one that I'm talking about, PsyCh, came back to the lab and told Jeffrey, "You know, you can change your beliefs in so many minutes." He says, "No, you can't. I'm a neuroscientist. I know you can't do that." So they argue back and forth, but they're in the lab. So Jeff said, "Here, put the electrode caps, the EEG cap, put it on my head and do you... You do that process." His whole life changed five minutes later.
17. LHLewis Howes
  Really?
18. BLBruce Lipton
  His whole life went upside down because it was on the screen now. It's not new age. It showed the brain all of a sudden became what is called whole brain function. Whole brain lit up, and he said he's only seen that on some master meditators. The only time he'd ever seen that. And he saw it. A- and it was so powerful It's recordable. [laughs] That's the cool part. So it's not like, "Oh, that's a good idea." I say, "No, here it is. I, the, the machine will show it." A matter of fact, it's so obvious that EEGs are just like squiggly lines, squiggly lines going across like that. Audience can't read them. Neuro people do. But he started giving some lectures where he'd have somebody come up who wanted a change of belief, and he'd put the cap on in front of the audience, but they then put it on the big screen the electrical readout of the EEG. Then they would do this, what's called the psyche balance, and the audience would go, "Oh." They c- it was so profoundly different that, oh my God, the whole brain pattern just changed in front of everybody's face. Completely just doing the process. So I bring this up only to say it sounds new agey, but no, there's a scientific objective measurement-
19. LHLewis Howes
  Sure
20. BLBruce Lipton
  ... of this. Uh, uh, and, and then basically what does it do? It engages a super learning capacity and, and you can download just like a kid actually before age seven. That's when children had whole brain activity, before age seven. That's how they could download stuff instantly. Just download it. Download it, okay? After age seven, uh, the whole brain, right and left hemispheres, there's a line right down the middle of the brain. They're called two hemispheres. The left hemisphere is like sees whole pictures. The right hemisphere sees pieces, okay? Uh, left hemisphere sees a brick wall. Right hemisphere sees the little bricks in the wall, okay? Uh, the left hemisphere is intellectual. The right hemisphere is emotional.
21. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
22. BLBruce Lipton
  These are complimentary characters. As long as the brain is integrated, they work together. But after age seven, they separate.
23. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm.
24. BLBruce Lipton
  And then during the day, every couple hours or so, you're in the left side, then a few hours later you're in the right side. I go, "What's the difference?" I say, "Son, sometimes I'm more intellectual in my approach, and then a little bit later I'm more emotional in my approach." And I go, "This is the... This is where the, you know, the stuff hits the fan whe- when a couple is arguing and let's just say, okay, the man is in his left hemisphere. He's got all the words. You know, he's got, "I'll cut you up with all the words."
25. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
26. BLBruce Lipton
  The woman in this particular case happens to be in her right hemisphere. She's in the emotional side. She's going, "Oh, oh, oh." She has no words. "Oh," you know, going like this. Two hours later, she gets into her intellectual side. He's on the emotional side. He's going home.
27. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
28. BLBruce Lipton
  "Man, I really screwed this up."
29. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
30. BLBruce Lipton
  And then she comes in and goes, "Ah, cut him up."
52:30 – 56:51
The Matrix, Conscious Parenting and Relationships
1. LHLewis Howes
  I think I saw you share somewhere that the Matrix was not sci-fi, it's a documentary.
2. BLBruce Lipton
  Abso- 100%. Uh, uh, uh-
3. LHLewis Howes
  Yeah
4. BLBruce Lipton
  ... simply is that, A, the premise is everybody was programmed. That's the premise. And I say, "That's not a premise. That's a reality for seven years." A, a little bit of history here. Just, uh, the Catholic group called the Jesuits have told their followers for 400 years, "Give me a child and his- till it is seven and I will show you the man." I said, "What did they know?" Exactly what we've been talking about. Seven years is program, rest of life 95% program.
5. LHLewis Howes
  Wow. What should parents be aware of? If they're a new parent and they're raising kids in the first seven years, what should they be saying throughout the day? How should behavior-
6. BLBruce Lipton
  Absolutely. Very-
7. LHLewis Howes
  What should, what should their behavior be? How they... Should they be connecting as couple? How should they be communicating to their children? What should that look like?
8. BLBruce Lipton
  That is perhaps one of the most important things, Lewis, to understand right now because the children now are the future of civilization. And we have been unconsciously disempowering people by giving them beliefs that take away their power.
9. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm.
10. BLBruce Lipton
  In contrast, a parent should be the one that says, "You are the smartest, the brightest, the most intelligent, the most lovable, the most creative," all those things. Why? Because they become programs. So when that kid grows up, "I'm the most creative, I'm the most intelligent," uh, you know, they have all these very positive characters working 95% of the day, and they're manifesting heaven. If parents understood this... But the problem is this. Here's the big problem. I'm gonna be a conscious parent because I heard Bruce and Lewis talk about the fact that if I say all these wonderful words to my kid, they're gonna be great and healthy and vibrant and-
11. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm
12. BLBruce Lipton
  ... which is true. Uh, and, and then I go, "Well, yeah, but you left something out." I go, "What is it?" You're only conscious as a parent or conscious as a person- 5% of the day.
13. LHLewis Howes
  Okay [laughs]
14. BLBruce Lipton
  So when you're thinking about, "Today I'm being a conscious parent right now," and there I'm doing something very conscious, and five minutes later you're, you're playing a program that you got from your parents that was disempowering. You didn't see it, but your kids saw it, 'cause the kids are all on record. [laughs] And, and all of a sudden... So one of the biggest problems with being a conscious parent is to recognize, hey, you're gonna struggle with your own consciousness 5% of the day.
15. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
16. BLBruce Lipton
  To be a conscious parent, it's unfortunate you need to be conscious all the time.
17. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
18. BLBruce Lipton
  You know? But this really works out very well because in a couple relationship, and this relationship is really critical even before having a child, is to recognize when people come together they brought baggage with them. Everybody brought baggage. Everybody got programmed. Some of the baggage might not be that good. Here's the point. If people don't know about the baggage, the program, the subconscious, they get together and then somebody does something, the other one gets angry, then they fight, and then there's a- all kinds of abuse going on without recognizing neither of them wanted to be the idiot. They both wanted to be there in the happy honeymoon forever position, but 95 is coming from the program. So arguing and fighting actually just pushes people apart.
19. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm. Mm.
20. BLBruce Lipton
  But if you know and your partner knows that some of these behaviors that come out that suck did not come from my wishes and desires, folks, that came from a program, then there's no fight, but there's an opportunity to say, "Do you wanna change that program?" And say, "What program?" 'Cause the, the story of Bill, I didn't see what the hell [laughs] just... What program are we talking about here? [laughs] Uh, uh, because then each of you is n- because if you fight, you're just pushing each other apart, but if you start to communicate, there's an opportunity to rewrite. And I said, "Well, what happens if both couples rewrite all that negative?" And I said, "Well, then every day is honeymoon 100% of the day."
21. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
22. BLBruce Lipton
  And I go, "That's the destination." Unfortunately, 50% of the marriages go boom. Why? Because when those bad programs come up, they don't know how to deal with it, leads to fights and anger and all that, and of course then that burns it up and the fire is gone.

Why Change Fails and Lipton's Wake-Up Moments
1. LHLewis Howes
  And, you know, you're talking about a lot of people are victims in the world. 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's powerless?
2. BLBruce Lipton
  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 damn record button. Uh, you know?
3. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
4. BLBruce Lipton
  And, well, so many of them are talking to themselves, "I'm gonna 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."
5. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
6. BLBruce Lipton
  Who are you talking to? Nobody. I go, "Well, that's a big waste of time, man, 'cause that's-"
7. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
8. BLBruce Lipton
  "... 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... It's so much hard work to change. It's not easy. Takes time." The, 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."
9. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
10. BLBruce Lipton
  So most people say, "Yeah, I can change, but it, it's not working. They said think positive, and I thought positive, and it didn't work."
11. LHLewis Howes
  It's not working. Yeah.
12. BLBruce Lipton
  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. [laughs] So you're... Thinking about being positive is actually creating the negative problem because you're not paying attention when you're thinking about being positive. So the, the, this is the whole issue. People have a feeling that they can change, but they have no effort. They don't wanna get in the game because they feel it's so... 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.
13. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
14. BLBruce Lipton
  And then life just goes on. It's seamless. You, you don't see it. It's just the way you've been living it. [laughs] Ever since seven years old, you've been just living this program.
15. LHLewis Howes
  If, 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, 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 to just focus on this five minutes a day-
16. BLBruce Lipton
  [laughs] Well, that, that's the problem
17. LHLewis Howes
  ... to get you, to get you started, to get you started, you know?
18. BLBruce Lipton
  Well, to get, to get you started is this. Y- if you l- l- like the first time that I really started to be aware that my, my subconscious was controlling me was, uh, when I was in my car, stopped at a red light, and I realized I was gonna be late. And then all of a sudden I started berating myself, "Well, you can't do things right. You're not good enough."
19. LHLewis Howes
  Oh, you idiot.
20. BLBruce Lipton
  You're a bit... Yeah.
21. LHLewis Howes
  You're such... Yeah, how do you forget these things?
22. BLBruce Lipton
  It was that moment I said, "Wait, I'm listening to what these words are. I'm actually stopping. I'm not just saying the words. I'm saying the words, but I'm actually listening." I said, "Well, how many positive things did I just say? Zero. Uh-oh." [laughs] 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 gotta stop and just tune in and say, "What am I thinking?" Why? Because if 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 say, "But that's a creative voice you're talking about right there."
23. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
24. BLBruce Lipton
  That voice is creating, and everything you just said is now part of your creation. So what if you stopped? What if you just, uh, said, "Wait." That 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. [laughs] It's like, why? Because I didn't focus on, you know, all the steps between here and the destination. I just said, "I gotta 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, are you giving yourself positive vision of a future, or you already canceled the future with, with negative things? That you can bring up any number of negative things.
25. LHLewis Howes
  Makes sense.
26. BLBruce Lipton
  It's not gonna happen because of X. Fill in X. You can put anything in there. It's not gonna 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 pro- thought, then I don't want those other thoughts to manifest [laughs] .
27. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
28. BLBruce Lipton
  A- and that was a wake-up call. I, I-
29. LHLewis Howes
  Should we... Is there a place where we should... where negative thinking is a positive?
30. BLBruce Lipton
  Can't say it.
1:10:21 – 1:15:34
Energy Fields, Health and Acting on Intentions
1. LHLewis Howes
  How do we, um, how do we use this to fight off disease and, and stay in a state of health, and making sure that our bodies are healthy, and eliminating the diseases that might come our way?
2. BLBruce Lipton
  Okay. Um, again, the disease is less than 1% is genetic, so the rest of it is lifestyle, okay? And that means are, are you taking care of yourself? Uh, if you don't love yourself, then for sure you're not really taking care of yourself, because who, who cares about it? Doesn't, doesn't mean anything, and since 80% or more of the people I know do not test positive for, "I love myself," then you can see a massive population that is not making any real effort. Uh, you know, lip service. "Yeah, I'm gonna exercise tomorrow, or maybe Thursday. Maybe next week I'll start." You know, it's like they're not doing it. When are you gonna do it? Oh. Uh, you know what's real interesting? Very important. Uh, we're energy fields, okay?
3. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
4. BLBruce Lipton
  And your energy... This is gonna be a hard one, so I, I gotta just say it and then people are gonna go.
5. LHLewis Howes
  Sure.
6. BLBruce Lipton
  They're gonna go...
7. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
8. BLBruce Lipton
  The world that we perceive as physical, physical bodies. You're in a physical room, physical cameras, physical, physical. I go, "This is an illusion." Now, this is very hard for people because you grew up, everything is physical. All of a sudden I say, "Well, that's an illusion. It's energy," because that's what quantum physics recognizes. 'Cause you take the atom apart, and when you finally get to the bottom pieces, they're not physical. They're energy units, like little tor- nano tornadoes, okay? Uh, uh, and I go, "So all, all of this is energy." That our energy inter- it's the energy that interacts that shapes matter. Now, Einstein said this. He said... I'll give it to you a brief statement, and it's so profound. "The field..." That means the ambient energy. "The field is the sole governing agency of the particle." What does that mean?
9. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
10. BLBruce Lipton
  Well, particle's our perception of matter. The energy is the sole governing agency of what we perceive as matter. So while we're focusing on the matter down here, people ignoring the fact, no, it's the energy [laughs] that created this. And I go, "Well, what about the energy?" I say, "Well, how am I creating my life?" And here comes the beautiful part. Oh, wires on the head. EEG. I could read your brain function. Oh, it's your thoughts are in your head. I go, "Wait, a new device. Not EEGs. It's called MEG, magnetoencephalograph, not electroencephalograph." I say, "What does it do?" I say, "It reads brain function." I go, "Yeah, what's unique?" You ready? ... probe is out here.
11. LHLewis Howes
  Really?
12. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah. Now you just, you have to stop and just say, "What does that mean?" The answer is your thoughts are not contained in your head, they're broadcast out into the field, and the field, you're generating a field of thought. And the field is what? Is the sole governing agency of the particle matter. And all of a sudden you have to recognize from the role of... That's why quantum physics said it's our consciousness that's creating this experience out here, because we're broadcasting this field. A- and it's interesting because, uh, I was just... What, what brought this up was I was thinking of, uh, uh, a guy that I, uh, knew for a while, uh, Cleve Backster in his past. Um, he, he did experiments with plants. He, he was, uh, the guy that worked with, um, uh, lie detectors, energy, you know, reading energies and stuff like that in his conventional world. But he, he was fooling around in the lab and he put the detector on a plant. Uh, uh, and then he says, "I'm gonna kill that plant. I'm gonna kill that plant." No response. Nothing.
13. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm.
14. BLBruce Lipton
  Then he got mad because nothing was happening, so he really got up and he was gonna throw the plant away, and he got up to throw the plant away, and all of a sudden the electrical activity started all over the place. You know, the plant went nuts. Uh, and I go, "Oh, there's a difference about having an intention versus doing an action."
15. LHLewis Howes
  Interesting.
16. BLBruce Lipton
  And I know that, you know, what irritates me is a mosquito. It's on the wall and I'm gonna say, "I'm, I'm gonna get that mosquito."
17. LHLewis Howes
  [laughs]
18. BLBruce Lipton
  I get a paper, I'm getting close to the mosquito and it's just sitting there, just, uh, just sitting there, and I go, "Okay, now swing." The moment I begin to swing, the mosquito flies away.
19. LHLewis Howes
  Ah.
20. BLBruce Lipton
  It's like it sat there until the moment I made a decision to act. Well, this applies to all of us for everything. You can have all the thoughts you want, but until you start an action, they don't manifest.
21. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm.
22. BLBruce Lipton
  And that is the hardest part, because I can think, "Oh, I'm gonna be wealthy, I'm gonna be wealthy." And I say, "What are you doing to get wealthy?" "No, I'm, I'm saying I'm gonna get wealthy." I say, "You didn't do anything. You gotta do something to take the step to make it start." So it's like on idle. All our thoughts, spinning, idling, idling. Not 'til you throw it into gear-
23. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm
24. BLBruce Lipton
  ... is it gonna manifest something. And this becomes-
25. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm
26. BLBruce Lipton
  ... really important because how many people think, "Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna plan this. This is what I want. Yeah, this is what I want." I go, "When are you gonna do it?" "Ah." "You never started? It's not getting off the ground." Even the plants in your room know that you're not gonna do it. [laughs]
27. LHLewis Howes
  Right.
1:15:34 – 1:23:08
Closing: Three Truths and Definition of Greatness
1. LHLewis Howes
  Bruce, this is inspiring, and I wanna be respectful of your time. Uh, we gotta have you back on in person for a, a longer episode to break down-
2. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah
3. LHLewis Howes
  ... a lot of these things on health and relationships and money. I wanna make sure before we get to a final few questions, I wanna make sure that people follow you, they, they check out all your information, 'cause I believe on your website you've got a lot of these different practices where people can start to reprogram in different ways. So if they go to your website, brucelipton.com, they follow you on social media. Uh, Bruce Li- if you just look up Bruce Lipton on, uh, Instagram you'll see it there, and then everything else.
4. BLBruce Lipton
  And YouTube. YouTube.
5. LHLewis Howes
  YouTube.
6. BLBruce Lipton
  There's a different channel with some fun stuff on it.
7. LHLewis Howes
  Crushing on YouTube as well. We'll make sure to link all this stuff up and, and again, if you guys are on YouTube watching this and you want more of us together, then leave a yes below in the comments so we can see who's really engaged in this. Uh, this is a question I ask everyone towards the end, Bruce.
8. BLBruce Lipton
  Yes, please.
9. LHLewis Howes
  It's called the thr- it's called the three truths. It's a hypothetical question.
10. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah.
11. LHLewis Howes
  So I'd like you to i- I would like you to imagine a scenario. Get into your, your conscious mind and imagine, uh, that you are, you are on your last day, many years away. Many years away, you get to live as long as you want-
12. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah
13. LHLewis Howes
  ... but it's the last day. And you have created heaven on earth.
14. BLBruce Lipton
  Yeah.
15. LHLewis Howes
  You've created heaven every day in your relationship, business, everything. Impact, service. But for whatever reason, you've gotta take all of your work with you, all of your books and this interview, and it's all gone to another place. Whether it's with you or somewhere else, we don't have access to it. But you get to leave behind three truths, three lessons that you would share with the world, and this is all we have to remember your message by. What would be those three truths for you?
16. BLBruce Lipton
  Well, one and two are empowerment truths. Uh, number one empowerment is you're not a victim of your heredity, you're the master of your genetic activity. And therefore you can manifest full out health, I don't care what genes you got. You rewrite your genes. That's what epigenetics... It doesn't change the gene code, it changes the readout of the gene code. That's what epigenetics does. And therefore you can manifest whatever you wanna program at this point. You're free to change the program, okay? So we have to get out of the victimhood of, uh, genes control my life and I have no control over that. Number one, get rid of that one. Uh, number two is then also expressing the fact that you're a spiritual entity. I say, "What significance does that have?" I say, "Well, first of all, you can't die." And that all of a sudden takes away all the [laughs] fear that most people have. Fear is death. Anything else I can try and handle. Fear, uh, it's done. Okay? But what if it isn't done? What if you, you're here and you come back again? And then I think, "Well, then good. If I do really good now, maybe I can come back and do really better when I come back the next time." Why? We're a field. Remember I said the energy broadcast, called spirit or field, is being picked up by these antennas, but then part two I said but the brain also sends the, the information back out again like a tuning fork. So my life experiences here influence my spiritual field.
17. LHLewis Howes
  Hmm.
18. BLBruce Lipton
  It's called karma.
19. LHLewis Howes
  Interesting.
20. BLBruce Lipton
  Karma. It's a mechanism And it says, "Well, if you really distort the hell out of it, then y- you don't have a really harmonious energy field when you come in. This is not really good. How can you change it?" I said, "Well, you don't have to do lifetimes. What you have to do is recognize, A, you have it, and B, I wanna change my consciousness, and then I'm sending out now reparative energy that repairs the karma [laughs] from the past, so I own it." So A, we are spiritual entities. You can't die, and you came in here for what reason? To have heaven on Earth.
21. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm.
22. BLBruce Lipton
  And that's why we're here. We didn't come here to struggle, to fight, to try and, you know, scratch out an existence. Uh, we didn't come here for that. We came here for, for... Why? It's so beautiful. All you have to do-
23. LHLewis Howes
  Yes
24. BLBruce Lipton
  ... is go outside and look at... Wow, look at this world. Look at... Oh, my God. Oh, food, love, these kind of things. Oh, man, it's... I'm enjoying it. Why? 'Cause my physiology is what I have here that will translate this into sensation that goes back to source.
25. LHLewis Howes
  Mm-hmm. Mm.
26. BLBruce Lipton
  If I said source years ago, [laughs] even on previous, uh, 40 years, I said, "Okay, describe love," and at some point then what will happen is that, um, I can write an essay. What is love? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I say, "But when you have a body, you can feel love."
27. LHLewis Howes
  Mm.
28. BLBruce Lipton
  That, that's not a conscious thing. That is a experiential thing. I go, "That enhances my spirit." Why? It could write about it, but it didn't know about it. Now it's got more insight-
29. LHLewis Howes
  Now it does
30. BLBruce Lipton
  ... and it's like, "Oh, man, what happens? Ooh, all this." So, so the idea really becomes important to recognize that, um, we came here for experiences, and we didn't come here to, to have struggle and fight and all that. Every baby is born, born with love until it gets distorted by programming. So the third one is this: Manifest heaven on Earth. If you're doing it, other people around you are gonna wanna do it, too.
