Becoming the Partner You Want to Attract
- LHLewis Howes
Aren't we conditioned to kind of react in response?
- SPSpeaker
Dude, I react every day. I react every day, but the fundamental question is it's not about the money, it's not about the sex, it's not about the weight, it's not about the diet. This is something else. If you want love in your life, in your future, then you better take care of-
- LHLewis Howes
I think you gotta have a dream
- SPSpeaker
The School of Greatness.
- LHLewis Howes
Really? [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Yeah. Please welcome Lewis Howes.
- LHLewis Howes
Is there a way to transform your energetic field and to transform your mindset to start attracting a romantic partner that's the right fit for you?
- SPSpeaker
Yeah. Yeah, so, um, well, let's start at the top.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah. [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Right? I mean, uh, people always ask me, like, "How do I create, you know, the person, uh, of my dreams that I want, uh, in my life?" And I always say, "Take out a piece of paper."
- LHLewis Howes
Uh-huh.
- SPSpeaker
"Write down everything you want in that person, and then become it."
- LHLewis Howes
That's it.
- SPSpeaker
Because, um, so many people have so many interesting definitions about what they think love is, right? And so, uh, some people have it in terms of need. Some people have it in terms of sexuality. Some people have it in terms of control, and, and dominance, and success. And so those are different experiences that really don't lead to this concept called love. And so my theory in a relationship, um, uh, I was, I was in La- Australia for three weeks, and I was doing this big book tour. And I was on all these television shows and all these radio shows and, you know, I wanted to talk about, you know, the science of changing your mind, you know, the neuroplasticity, epigenetics. And every television show, they were asking me about soulmates, how do you create them.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
And I, I was just so tired by the, by the end of this tour. I was at the Establishment Hotel in, in Sydney, and I was sitting with a CNN reporter, and attractive woman, and she said, "How do, how come I can't create the relationship that I want?" And I just was so over it.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
I just looked at her and I said, "Let me ask you a question. Would you go out with you?"
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
Which is really the fundamental question. So I have a couple theories about relationships that I think are really important, and I, I use the same exact principles with my life. Uh, first of all, I will never work in a relationship, and I don't think anybody should work in a relationship. I think if you're working in a relationship, something is not clicking. Something is not right. But if you bring your best, and the person that you're with brings their best, and you celebrate your life together, then there's, there's constructive interference. There's growth. There's energy. If you're not at your best and you show up, more than likely you're gonna pick someone or something apart, and it's better that you remove yourself for a period of time and get back into your heart-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... and present yourself at your best. And so if you're not there and you need a mirror or reflection, then it's good to ask, "Am I missing something? Am I not seeing myself in some way?" And then there's a healthy conversation when you invite it. But if you're not invited to contribute your opinion-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm
- SPSpeaker
... then it's better off that you don't, right?
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- 3:19 – 6:57
Thoughts, Feelings and the Magnetic Field of Love
- SPSpeaker
So people always say, "I want a loving relationship," but what they really want is happiness really. So we, we do these meditations, uh, to create love in our lives and, and it could be love in, uh, familiar relationships with your siblings. It could be with your parents, it could be with your friends, or it could be with a significant other. And so if thoughts are the electrical charge in the quantum field, and feelings are the magnetic charge in the quantum field, and how you think and how you feel broadcasts an electromagnetic signature that influences every single atom in your life.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
The thought sends a signal out, and the feeling is the magnetic field that draws the event back to you.
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- SPSpeaker
So if you're not in a place where you're in love with life or in love with yourself, or practicing diminishing your emotional reactions to certain people or conditions in your life, and you're living in anger or hostility or judgment or fear, and you want a loving relationship, there is no magnetic field for you to draw that to you.
- LHLewis Howes
Hm.
- SPSpeaker
And in fact, if you say to me, "Well, it's that person or that circumstance that's caused me to feel this way," then I would say, "You mean that person or that circumstance is controlling the way you feel and the way you think?" And anything that controls the way we feel and the way we think, we are victims to, right? So most people are unconsciously responding to the conditions in their environment, experiencing emotions that are derived from the hormones of stress. Those emotions cause us to feel separate from our dreams. They heighten our senses.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
So if we can't see them, it doesn't exist. The threat or the danger puts us in emergency mode, and we can think positively about the relationship we want. We could send the signal out into the field. We could have pictures. We could ha- we could remind ourselves of what it is, but if you're not drawing the experience back to you because your response to the environment is actually weakening your organism.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
It's weakening, your response is actually weakening the body. Then you will be, as a victim, more vulnerable to the conditions in your environment, whether they're large or small, and I'm talking about microorganisms as well. So if you wanted a true relationship where it was fundamentally based on this concept called love. Now, let's talk about that because we practice this a lot in the work that we do. If you could truly begin to practice trading those survival emotions-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... every day for elevated emotions, and you practiced opening your heart, it's, it's a, it's a skill that has to take place where you move out of survival.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
So people say, "Well, I can't open my heart. I, I don't, I can't feel love." And I say, "Well, what do you practice feeling?" Because whatever you practice feeling, you're feeling most of the time, and that feeling could be guilt, but you're so used to it you wouldn't even know it's guilt. It just feels like you.
- LHLewis Howes
Are most people practicing a feeling or are they just reacting to how they feel?
- SPSpeaker
Well, they're, they're, they're reacting to their external environment.
- LHLewis Howes
What's happening. Yeah
- SPSpeaker
Or, or they're reacting to some stray thought in their mind, and every thought produces a chemical. So if they have an unhappy thought, they feel unhappy. If they have a judgemental th- thought, it produces chemicals that makes you feel polarized, right? So-
- 6:57 – 12:37
How Emotional Memory Conditions the Body into the Past
- LHLewis Howes
How much does one thought change your chemical body?
- SPSpeaker
Oh, that's an interesting question. So let's just-
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Le- hey, I'm gonna put this on hold here.
- LHLewis Howes
Okay. Yes.
- SPSpeaker
So, so the stronger the emotions that we feel from the problems and conditions in our life, the more altered we feel inside of us, the more we pay attention to what's causing it outside of us.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
So if you have an event in your life, like an experience in your life that has a strong emotional charge to it, and you don't feel like your normal self, you feel this alarm system switch on. You're gonna narrow your focus on the cause, and the brain's gonna take a snapshot, and that's called a longterm memory, right?
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
So then what people don't know is that every time they think about that event, they're producing the same chemistry in their brain and body as if the event was occurring. And the-
- LHLewis Howes
In that moment
- SPSpeaker
... in that moment. So the highly charged event is actually producing the emotion, and the body is so objective that it doesn't know the difference between the real experience that's creating the emotion and the emotion that the person is fabricating by thought alone. The body's believing. It's so objective, it's believing it's in the same environmental experience. So the strong, the highly charged emotional events, you, you ... Some people think of their ex, and the-
- LHLewis Howes
Uh-huh
- SPSpeaker
... thought of that person-
- LHLewis Howes
Makes them sick
- SPSpeaker
... makes them feel out of balance.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- SPSpeaker
So-
- LHLewis Howes
And I ... One image, one thought in their mind makes them feel out of balance.
- SPSpeaker
So all you need is an image and an emotion, a thought and a feeling, a stimulus and a response, and you're conditioning your body emotionally into the past.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
So now the memory's n- just not in the brain now, it's in the body, okay? So now that thought of that person is actually creating a response in the body that's consuming the body's energy for growth and repair, consuming the body's energy to create, because in survival it's not a time to create. In survival, it's time to run, fight, and hide. So the problem is, is that it becomes a subconscious program. It's no longer a conscious process. It now is a subconscious process. So now the body has been conditioned into resentment, into unhappiness, into fear, anxiety, whatever it is. And so s- back to our concept of bringing love into your life. So you say to that person, "Okay, open your heart." And they're gonna say, "Are you kidding me?"
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
"I was injured."
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
"I was hurt. I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna ... Let me see your cards first," right?
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
"And once I see your cards, then I'll pr- then I'll open up a little bit." So, so we protect this, right? So now in, in that state of survival, the, the, the research shows that the longterm effects of those stress hormones are pushing the genetic buttons that are creating disease. The body can't live in emergency mode-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... for that period of time. So in a sense, the person is making themselves sick by thought alone. Their thoughts are making them sick, literally. So the problem is, is now the body is conditioned into the past, and it's the mind. Now, once the, the body-
- 12:37 – 19:12
Feeling Love Before It Arrives: Remembering Your Future
- SPSpeaker
So now we ask the person, can you teach your body emotionally what the future will feel like before it's made manifest? That means you can't wait for your relationship to feel love. You have to reverse that battleship and understand feeling love-
- LHLewis Howes
Now
- SPSpeaker
... is going to be the magnet.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
And if you can hold the vision of your future, a clear intention, with a coherent brain, organize signals into the field, and you could actually crack this thing open. And practice getting so present in the moment-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... that you're not anticipating the next moment or trying to predict the future, and you're no longer romancing the emotions of your past, you can find that sweet spot of the generous present moment. The familiar past is the known emotionally. The predictable future is the habituation of autopilot being unconscious and programs. Those are both knowns.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
There's only one place where the unknown exists. That's the present moment. So if you could work with your body to the point that it trusts you enough to feel so safe-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... that you have conquered it in a certain way that it could actually relax into the present moment, and it's not worried about what's gonna happen next or what's going on around, around you or that you need to eat, you need to pee, you need to move.
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- SPSpeaker
You, you got beyond all your drives and you're, you're ready to create. That moment where you're present, if you could begin to work with your heart and start to breathe and start to practice feeling love. In the beginning, it would feel foolish, or gratitude. Why would I feel love if it hasn't happened? Well, that's because you've been hypnotized-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... into waiting for your world to change to feel, feel the emotion from the experience.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- SPSpeaker
But according to the quantum model, your emotion ahead of the experience, when you combine that clear intention with the elevated emotion and you feel love, your body's so objective that it's actually believing. It's living in that future-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... in the present moment, and your body now is beginning to change. You are beginning to change your biology to reflect what you're about to experience in your future. So the stronger the m- m- love you feel, the more altered you feel inside of you, the more you're gonna pay attention to that picture in your mind. Stimulus, response, memory, emotion.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
Thought and feeling, but now you're remembering your future instead of remembering your past.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow. [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
And biologically, it's actually the same.
- LHLewis Howes
How do we ... H- remembering your future as opposed to remembering your past.
- SPSpeaker
Right. It's the same thing biologically. So-
- LHLewis Howes
The body experiences the same way by thinking and imagining something that hasn't happened yet, but it will happen.
- SPSpeaker
Okay. Well-
- LHLewis Howes
And imagining something vividly from the past that happened, sometimes our brains trick ourselves in thinking it happened a different way, doesn't it?
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, but that's, that's incidental.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah, yeah.
- 19:12 – 29:32
Need Versus Wholeness: What Real Love Looks Like
- LHLewis Howes
What do you mean in need?
- SPSpeaker
Well, if you're feeling-
- LHLewis Howes
I'm needing someone to love me.
- SPSpeaker
I'm needing... Yeah, of course
- LHLewis Howes
Or a partner.
- SPSpeaker
That's a different frequency. That's a different energy.
- LHLewis Howes
What happens when you're in a need state as opposed to an attraction state?
- SPSpeaker
Well, you're in lack.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
So now you're trying, you're grasping, you're controlling, you're forcing, you're trying to predict, you're overthinking, overanalyzing, and that's how people live their relationships. So then if you are going to prepare your brain and body for a new relationship, then you would have to become love completely every day.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
And that signal then that you're sending out into the field can carry the thought of your health, your wealth, your relationship, or whatever. But here's the cool part. When the heart is activated like that and you feel so whole, so in love with life, so satisfied in the moment, so exuberant that it's impossible to want, now you're no longer in lack.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs] See-
- SPSpeaker
Now you're so whole that you will magnetize wholeness in your life.
- LHLewis Howes
Oh.
- SPSpeaker
The person who's the person that fits the mold energetically, that would be the same as you and yet complement you so that the two can become one, right?
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
And then instead of in contrast, in union you exchange information-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... equal to that emotional state. In other words, people use each other to reaffirm their, their dependence on certain emotions. You have certain people you complain with about politics or whatever. They complain back about their lives, and you use each other to reaffirm, you know, some type of, uh-
- LHLewis Howes
Belief or something added, yeah
- SPSpeaker
... belief about life emotionally. You have emotional agreements on things. Well, that, that emotion is energy, and energy is frequency, and frequency carries information, so you share the same energy. You share the same information. But that's what people do in their lives. But now in a true loving relationship, when you're truly in your heart, then the question is what would love do in the relationship? And when your heart is open, it's no longer about you.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
It's about how I feel so amazing. With you, I feel even more amazing, but without you, I'm still whole.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
And so now I'm no longer in need or lack. And so now when we get together and our fields interfere, when they start interfering, now the amplitude gets way higher. There's way more energy. And now, I mean, I'm, I'm all about all seven centers of the body lining up, all of them. And we're here in a body. Let's enjoy it all.
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- SPSpeaker
But come from love. And so now your heart is so open that you can't do anything else but give. You feel so amazing. You're so happy with yourself, so happy with your life, so happy with what you have that you want other people to feel the same way.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
And you say, "Here, take that." And when you give now, guess what happens? You release more oxytocin, more nitric oxide, and more of those chemicals that cause the heart to swell even more. Then all of a sudden your immune system gets stronger, and all of a sudden your body starts feeling better. You start having more energy.
- 29:32 – 34:09
Clearing the Past So You Recognize Your Future Partner
- SPSpeaker
'Cause you can't bring that there. You gotta leave it. So then, well, you may say to me, "Well, it's because that person and this emotion from 15 years ago, my ex, makes me feel frustrated." Well, let me tell you something. The only reason that you're thinking about your ex is because you're still in frustration. You overcome frustration, you'll look back at your ex, and you'll be like, "I wish them well."
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
"I- I'm not connected to my past any longer."
- LHLewis Howes
Hmm.
- SPSpeaker
So cleaning the cupboards and getting down to those thoughts That slip by people's awareness all the time. Their behaviors, how they complain, they make excuses, they say it'll never hap- what do they do? And the emotions that keep them connected to their past, they won't, they won't even see that person.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
That they'll walk right past their future relationship. They'll never recognize that person because they're looking at their future through the neurology and the chemistry of their past.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- SPSpeaker
And the brain only learns by, only, we only see reality based on pattern recognition. I memorized your face, now I know Lewis, and if the pattern matches, I know. But if you're creating a future and you're not clear on that future and you want all these things, but you haven't addressed all those circuits and behaviors and emotions and chemicals of the past, you won't recognize the pattern. You'll walk right past the relationship. You'll never see it. So, so I think that there's-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- SPSpeaker
... the preparation for the relationship, the overcoming, and overcoming and overcoming and overcoming and overcoming and becoming-
- LHLewis Howes
Ooh
- SPSpeaker
... all of a sudden now says, "I am worthy." And the universe only gives us what we think we're worthy of receiving.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- SPSpeaker
So when you're worthy to receive, it's not gonna be on match.com when you're looking at body parts and whatever else.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
This is gonna be like, ka-ching.
- LHLewis Howes
An energy connection.
- SPSpeaker
Like, like wow.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Like that came out of nowhere. Because when you're in survival and you're in separation and you're in lack and you're forcing and controlling and trying to predict outcomes, you're matter trying to change matter. And of course it's going to take time for this to happen, because you're creating a three-dimensional reality, and everything in three-dimensional reality takes time.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
But when you're creating from the heart with a coherent brain and a coherent heart, and you've got that 5G Wi-Fi signal, it's, it's not like you go anywhere now. [laughs] There, the experiences are coming to... You're drawing the event to you. So-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... so we spend a lot of time bonding with our future emotionally. I have colleagues of mine who look at our, our data on oxytocin, and they're like, "Uh, listen, oxytocin levels go up during, uh, you know, when I'm, when, when in a, in a relationship, the honeymoon stage of a relationship, and, uh, monogamy g- is created because of those chemicals or a, a female mammal is bonding with her offspring." That's exactly right. I want our people, our students to bond and fall in love with their future just like they do with somebody else. And when you're bonded to your future, no person, no circumstance, no thing is going to remove you from it. So then if you fall from grace during the day, then the next question is what person, what circumstance caused me to disconnect from my love in the future?
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
And let me rehearse in my mind if I have that same circumstance how I'm gonna overcome it, and now you're worthy of love. It's no longer the person or the event, it's just you're doing what it takes to stay in the emotion of your future. Your, your, your body is aligned emotionally to that future. So great doing it with a meditation. That's easy. But now the real game is open your eyes. [laughs] Open your eyes.
- LHLewis Howes
When what's happening is happening.
- SPSpeaker
O- open your eyes and be in the initiation of life.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- 34:09 – 45:03
Energy in the Body vs. the Brain: Moving Guilt into Bliss
- LHLewis Howes
there's a great image on page 123 of your book Becoming Supernatural, and we'll, we'll put this in the, uh, the YouTube video. Uh, we'll put it side by side here somewhere when we're editing this up. But you have this image here which is the body versus, a- as energy and the body as matter.
- SPSpeaker
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
And what happens when you're in an energetic field, uh, when you're a magnet of the energy versus when you're, I guess, reacting in a place of fear, anxiety, and stress.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- LHLewis Howes
Is that, is that s- what this is saying or?
- SPSpeaker
Yeah. Let me see if I can, let me see if I can say this another way. Um, there was a, a researcher, uh, out of Yale University that, uh, in the 1940s, uh, was studying electromagnetic fields around living organisms. And in 1940s in Yale, at Yale University, nobody was doing this, and he was a, a vitalist. He wanted to understand the unseen fields around living organisms. So he started studying eggs, all kinds of eggs. Chicken eggs, you know, swallow eggs, reptile eggs, snake eggs, salamander eggs. There was all kinds of eggs. And he was using a magnetometer, and what he found was what 100% of the time, no matter what egg he measured, the positive charge was always at the head.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
And the negative charge was always at the tail. Well, if you have positive charge on one end and negative charge on the other end, you got a external electromagnetic field called the magnetic field. That's a magnet, right? What happens with human beings is every thought has a frequency. Every thought produces a chemical. So if you keep obsessing about your lack, your lack of finances, your lack of time, your lack of energy, lack, lack, lack, w- and, and those thoughts-
- LHLewis Howes
I don't have this.
- SPSpeaker
I don't have-
- LHLewis Howes
I need this.
- SPSpeaker
What, what are the chemicals you're feeding your body? You're taking thought, it's producing a frequency, and that frequency in the form of chemistry is-... is storing that thought emotionally right in your second center. You feel guilty, you feel unhappy. The moment you feel unhappy, then you generate more thoughts equal to that feeling, which makes more chemicals, and you keep taking energy from the brain and storing it in the body. If you react to people in your life and you feel anger or frustration, whether it's traffic, the news, whatever it is-
- LHLewis Howes
Parents, girlfriend, boyfriend
- SPSpeaker
... parents, whatever, girl, what, you're drawing from this field, this electromagnetic field. You're tapping that resource and you're making chemistry out of it, and the field shrinks. So now-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... by doing that and living in survival, the body no longer is a magnet. So now you have very little energy in the brain. In fact, 5% of the energy is in the brain, and 95% is stored in the body. Now, the body's been conditioned emotionally, so a lot of energy in the body, very little in the brain.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
So in our work-
- LHLewis Howes
Do we want energy to be in the brain or-
- SPSpeaker
We wanna move energy back up to the brain. So-
- LHLewis Howes
What does that do when we move the energy from the body to the brain or the heart?
- SPSpeaker
Well, this is a great thing, because once it makes it here, it's going up.
- LHLewis Howes
Oh.
- SPSpeaker
Right? So we do these different meditations and these different techniques to draw that energy right up to the top of the head. Now, when this energy shakes loose and it starts to move, the sympathetic nervous system switches on, and instead of releasing energy out like you're being chased by a predator or you're y- you're having an orgasm, that same energy is going up into the brain, and the brain switches on and it goes into these very high, high frequencies called gamma brainwave patterns. Now, the person has an arousal, but the arousal isn't fear-
- LHLewis Howes
Not an orgasm.
- SPSpeaker
Well, in the brain.
- LHLewis Howes
An, an, an orgasm of the mind.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, exactly. It's, it's energy that's being n- released into the brain.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
And you can only describe it as ecstasy or bliss. So the energy of guilt that was stored from thinking and feeling the same way releases, and it travels up to the brain and it's going back, and when it reaches the brain, what happens? You get more energy in the brain and it begins to produce that external field. So you're, you're beginning to create a field around your body.
- 45:03 – 48:48
Compassion, Abundance and Shortening Your Reactions
- LHLewis Howes
Now here, I mean, I've got so many questions around this, but one thing quickly. How often do you find yourself in reaction mode when someone throws you under the bus, whether it's someone honking at you in a car and you say, "Ah, this..." How often do you get back to that place? And like, 'cause we're... Aren't we conditioned to kind of react and respond?
- SPSpeaker
Dude, I react every day. I react-
- LHLewis Howes
Do you?
- SPSpeaker
Oh, my God. I react every day, but the fundamental question is, how long-
- LHLewis Howes
Right, right, right
- SPSpeaker
... are you gonna react? So shortening the refractory period of your emotional reactions is that kind of intelligence where we're keeping ourselves out of the past.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
Justified, valid or not, the only person that that's affecting is you.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
And then you have to ask yourself, is it loving to me? Well, if you can't control that emotional reaction, then you're a junkie, and you're on a bad trip, and you're overdosing.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
But if you know that you're overdosing, you gotta get beyond your rational mind, 'cause you'll say, "Why are you this way?" Oh, because they [growls] . All right. And by, by you doing that, is it making more of those chemicals? Yeah. Why were you doing that? To make you feel more like it's, it's justified.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
So then this takes... Lewis, I, I excuse myself many times in one day.
- LHLewis Howes
Because you'll be, "I'm in reaction mode."
- SPSpeaker
I'm like-
- LHLewis Howes
"Let me step aside."
- SPSpeaker
I'm like, "Are you ki-..." Like, I'll be like, "Are you kidding me? What... Who? What did they do?" And then I'll be like, I'll... We're not gonna make a decision-
- LHLewis Howes
In this state
- SPSpeaker
... in this state, so give me a minute.
- LHLewis Howes
Oh, wow.
- SPSpeaker
I go take a few breaths, sh- get out of that state, remember my future, where I'm going. It's so much more important than the present moment. I just gotta condition my body into that future. And now it takes sometimes a Herculean effort, I have to tell you.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs] When you feel, especially-
- SPSpeaker
You could, you could ask my staff. I'll be in my, I'll be in there 15, 20, 30 minutes. Sometimes I'll say, "I worked... It took me an hour." But what-
- LHLewis Howes
To, to get back to a peaceful state
- SPSpeaker
... in the, in the, in, in the, in the expanse of all eternity, if I don't overcome that emotion, then I'm in my past, and that's karma, because that emotion's gonna drive my behaviors and thoughts, and I'm gonna be predictable. My past-
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah
- SPSpeaker
... is gonna look... My future's gonna look-
- LHLewis Howes
Interesting
- SPSpeaker
... a lot like my past. So if I'm soulfully on the journey-
- 48:48 – 56:42
When One Partner Changes and the Other Doesn't
- LHLewis Howes
So how ... I mean, let's talk about a practical scenario where someone's in a relationship five, 10, 20 years, married or not married, and both parties have a pattern of defensiveness, of passive aggressiveness, of reacting when they don't like something, and then one person starts to transform, or they do your work, or they do meditation work, and they really start to connect to their heart and their mind, and they start healing the trauma of the past, and the other person hasn't caught up yet.
- SPSpeaker
Mm.
- LHLewis Howes
How does someone m- either inspire the other person to come on this train with them-
- SPSpeaker
Mm-hmm
- LHLewis Howes
... and elevate their thoughts, or if they are unwilling to, is there a way to be in a happy relationship if your partner is still in reaction mode-
- SPSpeaker
Mm
- LHLewis Howes
... more than you?
- SPSpeaker
Wow. Um, well, uh, again, speaking from my present state of ignorance because I'm on a journey also.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
I will tell you this, that one of the things that happens and, uh, when people start to come across information and knowledge that's really valuable, they wanna share it with the person next to them or share it with their lover.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah
- SPSpeaker
... whatever. But if they're in a relationship for 15 years and they have a lot of emotional agreements-
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah
- SPSpeaker
... with people and things, and they're in a lot of habits, we, we, w- we only, uh, accept, believe, and surrender to information that's equal to our emotional state. So sometimes it bounces off the person, and if the person's really enthusiastic, then the, then they're really like, "Whoa, what is up with-
- LHLewis Howes
They'll blow back, yeah
- SPSpeaker
... you're changing in front of me. I don't like you this way. I like ... We, we had a thing going here."
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
"We could pick apart anybody or anything. Now you're not showing up equal to my memory. You're unpredictable. You're in the unknown. I'm uncomfortable."
- LHLewis Howes
You're unsafe.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah. You're the un- The unknown is unsafe, right? So a lot of times-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... the enthusiasm is the first thing that starts creating con- disconnection, but if the person goes, "Ch- that's amazing. That's really cool. Say it again," like they're ready to hear the information, those people are gonna evolve together, right?
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
If the person just kinda looks and says, "Oh, my God. My wife's on the Kool-Aid," or whatever it is.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
This person is ... You know, they, they changed their medication. I don't know what's happening with them. Then that person that is trying to explain it philosophically is just looking for someone to exchange information with. That person may not be the person. He may just like Sunday, Sunday football games and Monday Night Football and hanging out and drinking beer, and they fell in love when they were the same, right?
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
So now the next step is to find the person that you can exchange that information with because you wanna understand it better so you can begin to use it. Now-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... you have to stop preaching to that person. That's the first thing you have to do. In other words, show up happy. Show up transformed. Be the example, and then one of two things will happen. I tell my kids this all the time. If you're happy, then that person is going to wanna get some of that, and they're gonna ask you, "All right. So what, what the, what, what the hell are you doing? Like all of a sudden you're, like, happy." They're either gonna go, "I want some of that," and they're gonna evolve together. Now, if they're ... If they don't, and then you come down here and compromise yourself-
- 56:42 – 1:03:15
Fear Is Separation, Not the Opposite of Love
- SPSpeaker
and error.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
And, and I think the number one thing that I've learned over the years in any relationship, it's about awareness. It's about, who am I being in this moment? How conscious can I stay? How am I speaking? How am I acting? What is the tone of my voice? How much more can I give? How can I forgive? How can I ... Ho- If I'm having problems forgiving somebody, I would think about something that I may have done in my life-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... that I would want forgiveness for.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
And I would think about how I wanna be forgiven, and I would forgive that person in the same way that I would be f- forgiving myself. And in a sense, I am forgiving myself, right? So we have to see it as this illusion of separation, this illusion of three-dimensional reality. This is, this is the plane where we demonstrate love.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
I mean, we came from source, we came from singularity. We came from pure love, and down into density, fooled by our senses into separation.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- SPSpeaker
And the survival hormones create more separation. They, they arouse us to put more attention on the illusion, on the objects, the hologram of three-dimensional reality, and we move further away from love. So, so fear is not the opposite of love, it's the separation from it. Anger is not the opposite of love, it's the separation from love. Pain, suffering, is not the opposite of love, it's the separation from love.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
So then as people heal into wholeness by, by learning how to create coherence in their brain and heart, the side effect of that a lot of times are dramatic changes in their health, and then more importantly, from that place, they could have been sexually abused, emotionally abused, physically abused. They will look at their entire past from that place and not wanna change anything in their past because it brought them to that moment.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
And they'll see the lessons, and they'll have compassion and forgiveness because they're at a different consciousness. Only when you're unhappy with yourself, unhappy with your life, are you gonna dig up the past and find the reason why you are that way.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
And, and f- and 50% of that story isn't even the truth. You embellish the story-
- LHLewis Howes
Oh, right
- SPSpeaker
... just to, to make it sound so hard that nobody can change. "Well, I can't change. This is, it was way too hard." And the, the research on memory is m- majority of time people are telling a story that isn't even the truth. To me, they're reliving a miserable life they didn't even have-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- SPSpeaker
... only to reaffirm their emotional state. So you catch yourself in the midstream. You know, you catch yourself talking and feeling, you catch yourself, that's a victory. To me, that's a victory.
- LHLewis Howes
Right. It's 'cause you're gonna be in reaction, right?
- SPSpeaker
Of course. But-
- LHLewis Howes
We're gonna have feelings and emotions.
- SPSpeaker
But the... You asked me, so I react. Yeah, every day.
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- SPSpeaker
But I get better at it, and I always say, "Okay, if I was in that same circumstance with that same person, I got the same or similar news, how would Joe Dispenza show up more evolved?" If I don't know the answer to that, I'm gonna find someone who had a similar experience, I'm gonna read what they did-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- SPSpeaker
... and I'm gonna rehearse that. I'm gonna rehearse it in my mind so much so that I'm priming my brain for the experience. Now I want it to happen so that I could... It's not about being right, it's not about being any of those, it's, it's really about my evolution. So then, so then that victory to me creates more wholeness.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- 1:03:15 – 1:05:05
Daily Meditation: Breaking the Loop of Thinking and Feeling
- LHLewis Howes
Do emotions create thoughts, or do thoughts create emotions?
- SPSpeaker
Both. So think about this. Some people wake up in the morning.
- LHLewis Howes
Uh-huh.
- SPSpeaker
Your brain is a record of the past.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
The first thing they do is they think about their problems.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs] Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Those problems are memories that are etched in the brain that are connected to certain people, certain objects, certain things at a certain time and place. The moment they wake up in the morning and they think about their problems, they're thinking in the past.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
If you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, well, you're already in your past. Every one of those problems, since we've experienced it, has an emotion associated with it. So then all of a sudden, they start feeling unhappy. The moment they feel unhappy, now the body's in the past because thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body.
- LHLewis Howes
Huh.
- SPSpeaker
So now that once they go, "Oh-"
- LHLewis Howes
Say that one more time.
- SPSpeaker
Thoughts are the language of the brain. Feelings are the language of the body.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
So the moment they start feeling those feelings, now their body's in the past. So now they, they get back and they, they started off with a clean slate, and they didn't feel anything, and then they're like, "I'm back to feeling unhappy. Okay, I'm back to myself again."
- LHLewis Howes
Ah.
- SPSpeaker
So because they'd rather feel unhappy than feel, not feel anything. So naturally, the void of that emotion is influencing, the body's influencing the mind, the brain, to think, so it produces the chemicals for it to feel.
- LHLewis Howes
Uh-huh.
- SPSpeaker
Some people just wake up in the morning and they don't feel anything, and then all of a sudden they just look for that feeling. They just... Some people need a thought to do it. Some people can just bring up the feeling, right?
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- SPSpeaker
So then they cling to that emotion because at least it's the known.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
So some people have emotions that influence thoughts. Some people are more analytical. They have thoughts that influence feelings.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
But it's a loop, right? It's, it's that cycle of thinking and feeling.
- 1:05:05 – 1:35:44
Brain Waves, Coherence and the Path to Gamma
- LHLewis Howes
What's the formula to get out of that quickly? Keep mentioning the formula, like there's a formula. If, if that's happening-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- LHLewis Howes
... and I know we've had thousands of people that go through your books and your med- u- audio meditations. I think you have some new ones coming out here soon. And they've been to your workshops, which I think, go to the workshop, 'cause it's gonna be a game changer. I can't wait till I can go, but-
- SPSpeaker
I keep inviting you. Guess what?
- LHLewis Howes
I know. It's gonna happen.
- SPSpeaker
You can't come anymore.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
You're not allowed to come.
- LHLewis Howes
I'm coming. [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
No, you can't come now. Thought maybe this will get him to come.
- LHLewis Howes
Exactly. Now I'm there.
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- LHLewis Howes
Uh, what is a formula, like a one to two-minute formula, when someone notices, "Oh, I'm feeling something, and then they're, my thoughts are, uh, supporting that feeling and I'm just staying in this loop," what's the one or two-minute formula they could just implement in the morning, at night, whenever-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- LHLewis Howes
... to help them?
- SPSpeaker
Well, I'm gonna give you two examples, okay? Because there's not just one way to do this.
- LHLewis Howes
Of course. Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Um, um, so if you're, if you're truly in the business of change or creating your life, that's a big responsibility.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Right? I mean, like we, we, we ran our event. I said to the audience, "Okay, nobody, nobody forced you to come here, right? You came here on your own. You took the risk in coming here." By coming here you also agree that you create your reality.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
That you're responsible for yourself and your life. So if something happens to you, you can't blame anybody because of that, it's your responsibility to take care of you, right? So then the fundamental question is, and I ask myself this all the time, at what point do I stop believing that I create my life? At what point? When things go bad?
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
Then all of a sudden it's n- I didn't create that, s- that person is doing it to me, right? So if we can, if we can wire that in our brains, right? That our reaction and response to an environmental condition is causing us to go back to the past.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
That's what the emotion is, the familiar emotion is the past. And I'm on the journey and I catch myself doing that. If I'm truly p- in the practice every day and I can cultivate a feeling, not, not, n- n- not on the spot then, that you, you, you're not prepared, your meditation is the preparation of mind and body for this. So I don't get up from my meditation until I'm in love with life.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
I don't, I don't create anything that's gonna be unlimited until I feel unlimited. And I-
- LHLewis Howes
Till you're in that space
- SPSpeaker
... and if I'm practicing feeling unlimited every day, and I practice b- at connecting to the emotions of my future, I'm, I'm out of the bleachers and I'm on the field.
- 1:35:44 – 1:44:32
Identity, Possessions and the Joy of Being Free
- LHLewis Howes
what's interesting? I live in this, you know, kind of really fancy condo building nearby here, and, uh, I got it 'cause it's really convenient. It's close to this office space. Uh, it's got great views of the mountains, the golf course, all that stuff. But I'm probably the least fancy person in this building. I mean, it's every type of exclusive car you can think of. And every day, I, I literally smile getting up and going out of the building because I have a $200 scooter that I take to work, that I scoot past these Ferraris and Lamborghinis and McLarens, whatever these cars are. I'm scooting past all these owners of these cars, and I'm smiling.
- SPSpeaker
Of course.
- LHLewis Howes
I'm so happy.
- SPSpeaker
You're free. You're free.
- LHLewis Howes
I'm just, like, scooting. It's not even electric. It's a push scooter.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- LHLewis Howes
And I'm just like, I'm just happy with this moment. I don't need-
- SPSpeaker
Right
- LHLewis Howes
... not that it's ... You know, if you wanna have cool cars and fancy stuff-
- SPSpeaker
Do that for a while
- LHLewis Howes
... all, it's, it's fun too
- SPSpeaker
... do that for a while till you outgrow it. Yeah.
- LHLewis Howes
It's fun too, and it's like nothing against it, and I wanna have nice things, but I don't need it to feel happy.
- SPSpeaker
Right. So that's a, that's a really important thing because people build an identity-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... by, you know, becoming some type of body, having some type of body, knowing someone or being someone, owning some things, living somewhere at some time. And the identity then is identifying with everything material in the three-dimensional world, and all their attention is out there, but- You wanna hide the divine anywhere in a human being, the best place to hide it is within them. They'll look everywhere else for it.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- SPSpeaker
So then when you start moving closer towards it and you start feeling more whole, then the scooter is just a, [laughs] a signature of what you love about life.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Your freedom.
- LHLewis Howes
It's having fun.
- SPSpeaker
So the, the Porsche and, you know, all those things become an identity. And, and when you become possessed by your possessions-
- LHLewis Howes
Ooh
- SPSpeaker
... and you can't get beyond them to create because your identity is so steeped in the three-dimensional world, it's gonna take crisis. It's gonna take trauma. It's gonna take disease. It's gonna take diagnosis. It's gonna take loss.
- LHLewis Howes
To break through from that, right?
- SPSpeaker
No, it's gonna-
- LHLewis Howes
To get out of it
- SPSpeaker
... for a person to finally go, "What's, what's more-
- LHLewis Howes
Wake up
- SPSpeaker
... yeah, what's more, what's more important," right?
- 1:44:32 – 1:52:25
Emotion, Attention and Gratitude as Receivership
- LHLewis Howes
It's interesting, uh, Kai and I grew up in a specific religion called Christian Science, which I've told you about before, and my dad, I don't know if your, your parents did this, Kai, but my dad, whenever there was a commercial on on TV, you've mentioned this, when we're going to sleep, we see commercials that are feeding us medicine or foods or whatever, things we need or whatever. He would always turn the commercials off when there was a medicine, 'cause he didn't want us to s- program our minds-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, of course
- LHLewis Howes
... from watching this, oh, when you get sick, you need this. You need this to feel better.
- SPSpeaker
Something outside of you to change your internal state.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah, he would always change that off and say, "No, we're gonna have one mind, and focus on a capital one mind-
- SPSpeaker
Mm-hmm
- LHLewis Howes
... uh, and get to the place of truth, of knowing who we are." And it's interesting that with social media today, especially with the lockdown for so many people, we're just programming our minds to be in reaction to something we need when we feel like we're lacking it. And it makes us, I feel like, ss-
- SPSpeaker
So you can choose.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
So you can choose to become dependent on, more dependent on that.
- LHLewis Howes
Exactly.
- SPSpeaker
And so imagine, if you're not, if you've overcome your emotions, really every day, I guarantee you that you'll pay less attention to that. They only capture your attention with an emotion. They'll tell you, "You know, Lewis, as you age, your immune system's getting weaker and weaker-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- SPSpeaker
... and weaker." And then you see a picture of some guy in his 50s and he looks really good, and you don't ... He looks better than you, and you're like, "Uh, oh, God, he looks really good." And John here, you know, has had something that you could get if you had chicken pox. Uh-oh, I had chicken pox. One out of three people get this. Uh-oh.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
I'm not, I'm not such a lucky guy. And then they show you a picture of somebody with shingles, and it looks like a fourth degree burn. The whole entire s- what are you gonna do? The, the effect of that image is gonna capture your attention because it shocked you. Now you're gonna lean in and pay more attention to it. Now they got you. And anything they say after that is gonna start the programming process.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
So you capture people's attention with their emotions. Remember that. And if you wanna divide a community, choose fear or choose anger, and you'll polarize everybody.
- LHLewis Howes
Really?
- SPSpeaker
Of course. And then you can, then you can decide what the solution is, because now people will be susceptible to information. They'll believe whatever it is equal to that emotion.
- LHLewis Howes
You captivate based on fear or anger. Can you captivate on love?
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, of course, but that's not the program. [laughs]
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- SPSpeaker
And that's the truth. Nobody wants to hear the truth. They want to hear something that's really gonna rock them emotionally.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
And you're gonna, you're gonna give a lot of your attention to that. And that's where the danger comes in.
- LHLewis Howes
I have pages of questions that I didn't get to around money, mindset, and other things that I wanna go into, but I wanna save it for another time. So if you wanna hear on topics around money mindset, rich mindset, how to overcome the poor mindset, and other topics with Dr. Joe Dispenza, then let me know in the comments on social media, post, if you're on YouTube, leave a comment below, let us know, and we'll, hopefully we can get you back in the next six to 12 months and do another. This two hours flew by for me, so.
- SPSpeaker
Was it that long?
- LHLewis Howes
It's, I think it's almost two hours, but I want, I wanna go another hour, but I know you have things to do. And when we are, when we are in the ... You're in the flow every time we're together, and that's what I love about our conversations. We just get in this flow.
- SPSpeaker
Dude, you're a great interviewer. I mean, I love just-
- 1:52:25 – 2:01:04
Synchronizing Meditations and Blood Research on Love
- SPSpeaker
One of the things we do is we teach people how to create from the field-
- LHLewis Howes
Yes
- SPSpeaker
... instead of from matter. When you create matter to matter, it's just gonna take time.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
And, 'cause you gotta move your body through space, and it takes time and energy. And so you can get the house, you can get the car, it's just gonna take you a couple years-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm
- SPSpeaker
... and you gotta save for it, and you gotta work more, and you gotta fight for it, and you know.
- LHLewis Howes
That's the matter way.
- SPSpeaker
Matter to matter.
- LHLewis Howes
What's the field way?
- SPSpeaker
Well, you gotta get to the field, so learning the formula and how to get to the field as pure consciousness, and you create from the field instead of from matter. If you're connected to source, then you are, you are creating a source.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
So then now you no longer go anywhere to get it. You learn how to draw it to you. So we have these meditations that we've been doing with our advanced group called synchronizing your energy to synchronicities in your life.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
So we have them for abundance, we have it for health, we have it for love, we have it for the mystical-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- SPSpeaker
... and we have it for a new life. And so it's a great way. We just did a live stream. We had, um, I think 25,000 people on that live stream-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- SPSpeaker
... when we were in, in, uh, Marco Island, Florida, doing our event, and it's just really a way for people to learn how to synchronize their energy, create brain and heart coherence, and then begin to create experiences. So in, for example, abundance, as I said, people really want freedom, so they'll tune into the frequency of abundance, draw the experience to them, then to freedom, and then the last one is opportunity. People want health.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
They want wholeness-
- LHLewis Howes
Yes
- SPSpeaker
... and an opportunity. Love. They want joy and an opportunity. The mystical. They want awe and an opportunity. A new life. They wanna be inspired and an opportunity. So we teach them how to create from the field. So those are the synchronizing m- meditations.
- LHLewis Howes
Where, where can we get these meditations, these audios? Are they on your website? They-
- SPSpeaker
I think they'll be on my, on, they'll, they'll be released on the website, yeah.
- LHLewis Howes
And the main website is?
- SPSpeaker
Drjoedispenza.com.
- LHLewis Howes
Okay. So if you go there, opt in for the newsletter, there'll be information on the top on where you can get these audios, meditations, books. And the main thing is to go to the live events if you can. So show up to a live event. Get a ticket as fast as you can. All that's announced on your website as well.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- LHLewis Howes
It'll be inter- there.
