Hallo, good friends.
This is
Science and Spirituality
on Supreme Master
Television.
Today we will be
interviewing
Dr. Joe Dispenza,
an American expert
on the role and function
of the human brain.
Dr. Dispenza’s training
and education are
in the fields of
neurology, neuroscience,
cellular biology,
memory formation, aging
and longevity.
He also has a Doctor of
Chiropractic degree and
is an honorary member
of the National Board of
Chiropractic Examiners
in the United States.
Over the last decade,
Dr. Dispenza has traveled
all over the world
informing people
of the power of the mind.
Dr. Dispenza says
we can re-program
and re-wire our brain
in order to end bad habits,
change our lifestyles,
and promote healing
of the body.
He has authored the book
“Evolve your Brain”
and produced several
DVDs and CDs featuring
his past seminars.
He is well known for
having appeared in the
critically acclaimed 2004
American documentary
“What the Bleep
Do We Know!?”
Dr. Dispenza
is a living example
of the practice
of his philosophy.
Years ago, an accident
left him with several
broken bones in his back.
The grim prognosis
by doctors
was that he would never
be able to walk again.
The story of how
Dr. Dispenza was able
to heal his body without
conventional medicine
is fascinating.
Let us now
join our talk with this
amazing gentleman and
learn more about his ideas.
We’re here
with Dr. Joe Dispenza
and he is going
to be talking to us about
the evolution of the brain
and what our potential is.
So welcome to the show
today!
Happy to be with you.
I’d like to start with
how did you first
get interested in this field?
Well, I’ve always
been interested
in human potential.
I am interested in what
makes human beings tick,
but I got run over
by a truck in a triathlon
back in 1986 and
broke six bones in my back
and the diagnosis was
that I would probably
never walk again.
I had multiple
compression fractures
of my thoracic spine
and I had bone fragments
on my spinal cord.
So the recommendation
at the time
was radical surgery from
four different surgeons
in southern California.
Anyway, I decided
not to have the surgery
and my belief at the time
and still is,
is that the power
that made the body,
heals the body.
I decided that
if I could take some time
and begin to connect
or develop a relationship
with that power,
that intelligence,
if I could begin to
give it some instructions,
give it some orders,
to give it a template and
then create an idea or
a picture what I wanted
and then surrender
this condition to this mind
and ask it to begin
to do the healing for me
that maybe it might work.
So I decided to
not let any thought go by
unchecked, a thought
that would be connected
to the possibility
of never walking again or
any other fears
or anxieties that
people typically have.
Dr. Dispenza
was determined
to cure himself.
So every day, two hours
a day, twice a day, I would
reconstruct my spine.
From start to finish,
and if my mind wandered
to an extraneous thought
or I began to worry or
get afraid, I would stop
and start all over again.
From the very beginning.
What I didn’t know
at the time was
that I was developing
a good amount of focus
and a good amount
of concentration.
I wanted it to be the exact
thing I wanted in the end.
Because
I didn’t have a surgery
they told me that it would
take six months to a year
to walk again
and I’d have to
wear this big body cast.
I was back on my feet
in nine and a half weeks
and back to training
in around 11 weeks
and back in my office
in 12 weeks so.
At what point
did you realize that
you were seeing results?
And that must have
given you more interest
in continuing on
with that program?
I was in extreme pain,
a terrible pain and
I had some neurological
changes in my body
and so when my body
started to respond in ways
and pain levels
were going back, and
feeling was coming back,
and movement
was coming back
I was pretty excited
That was a feedback
I needed because the
brain learns by feedback.
In other words,
when we see
some observable change,
we can correlate
what we did inside
to produce that effect.
The doctors
must have been shocked!
Yeah, they were,
they were actually shocked.
The third doctor that
I saw was the director
of Scripps Hospital
at the time in San Diego.
He was adamant
that I have the surgery.
When I decided
to forgo the surgery,
he wanted me
to see the psychiatrist,
because he thought I had
post-traumatic stress.
But when I got on my feet,
I called him up and we
had a great conversation
and he was pretty happy
that that I was able
to make it happen.
Let us pause now
for some brief messages.
When
Science and Spirituality
returns, we will have
more from our interview
with the knowledgeable
Dr. Joe Dispenza.
Please stay tuned.
Welcome back,
caring viewers to
Science and Spirituality
on Supreme Master
Television.
We are speaking
with Dr. Joe Dispenza,
an American research
scientist and chiropractor,
on the power of the mind
and how it can enable us
to evolve
to our full potential.
He has authored the book
“Evolve your Brain”
and produced several
DVDs and CDs featuring
his past seminars.
One of the key areas of
Dr. Dispenza’s research
is in the area of
spontaneous remission.
This is the study
of sudden reversals
of an illness without
a medical explanation.
In the following
conversation,
Dr Dispenza discusses
two of the four
main commonalities
he has observed
from studying people
who have experienced
spontaneous remissions
from serious
medical conditions.
Now, you’ve done
a lot of study on
spontaneous remission.
When I was spending
those long nights
laying down and
couldn’t sleep,
I just made myself a deal.
I just said if I’m
ever able to walk again
that I’d spend the rest
of my life studying
the mind-body connection.
So I started
my investigation
into spirituality
and my investigation
into health and attitude.
I traveled
to 17 different countries
over the last 11 years now
and studied people
that were diagnosed with
serious health conditions
and then
they changed their mind
and they got better.
So it was so exciting to me.
I went back to school
and got a degree
in neuroscience because
I wanted to understand
what it was
that they were doing
that was producing
those effects and so
it kind of catapulted me
to the next level.
What is it
that they were doing that
produces those effects?
There were four common
things that I noticed
that got my attention.
And the first thing was
that they all believed and
accepted that there was
some spiritual aspect
that lived within them.
That there is something
that gives us this life and
there’s nothing mystical
about spirituality.
It’s the consciousness;
it’s an intelligence that
keeps your heart beating.
Two gallons of blood
per minute,
a hundred gallons
of blood in an hour,
a hundred-thousand times
in one day through
sixty thousand miles
of blood vessels.
That we lose
10 million cells
every second and we make
another 10 million cells.
Something’s giving us life.
There is a mind
that is so much greater
than our mind
that has a will so much
greater than our will.
And has love for life
that’s so much greater
than our love for life,
our personality-self.
And when our will
matches its will,
when our mind
matches its mind
and when our love for life
matches its love for us
or for life, that’s when
it begins to respond.
So they began
to develop a relationship
with this invisible force
just like you develop
a relationship with your
husband or your wife
or your mother or father
or your kids
or your dog or your pets.
They took time
out of the day to begin
to put their attention on,
begin to interact with it,
and they wanted
to surrender again
that condition
to this giver of life.
They gave it some
pretty strong instructions
and they asked for help.
This consciousness
loves us so much that
it allows us our free will.
So if we insist
on suffering, it gives life
to reinforce our suffering.
If we insist on joy,
it organizes our bodies
and our life in ways that
match who we are being.
So that’s the first thing
they had in common.
The second thing
they had in common
is that they all understood
that it was their own
mismanagement of their
thoughts and reactions
that created their disease.
We live in two states
of mind: we live
in survival or creation.
When we live
in those states of anger
or aggression or hatred
or judgment or fear,
anxiety or insecurity
or pain or suffering
or depression,
it’s those chemicals
that are created
from the chemicals
of stress or survival
that activate
those states of mind.
It’s the redundancy
of those chemicals or
the chemicals that push
the genetic buttons that
begin to cause disease.
You see, every time
we have a thought
we make a chemical.
So if we have a great
thought or , if we have
an unlimited thought,
we make chemicals
that make us feel great
or feel unlimited.
If we have
negative thoughts or self-
depreciating thoughts,
we make chemicals
that make us feel
negative or unworthy.
So this immaterial thing
called thought fires a set
of circuits in the brain
that produces a chemical
to signal the body for us
to feel exactly the way
we’re just thinking.
The moment we feel
the way we think, we begin
to think the way we feel,
which produces more
chemicals for us to think
(This creates a big loop.)
the way we feel.
And this loop, the cycle
of thinking and feeling,
and feeling and thinking
creates what I call
a state of being
and it’s the cycle
of thinking and feeling,
and feeling and thinking
over time that begins
to condition the body
to memorize that
emotional state better
than the conscious mind.
We will have more from
our compelling interview
with Dr. Joe Dispenza
on the power of the mind
next week on
Science and Spirituality.
Kind viewers,
we are very happy
you were able to join us
for our program today.
Now please stay with us
for Words of Wisdom,
following
Noteworthy News.
May your life be imbued
with constructive
thoughts always.
Hallo, noble friends,
welcome to
Science and Spirituality.
Today we resume
our discussion
on the secrets of the mind
with Dr. Joe Dispenza.
Dr. Dispenza is
an American expert
on the role and function
of the human brain.
He has authored the book
“Evolve your Brain”
and produced several
DVDs and CDs featuring
his past seminars.
He is well known for
having appeared in the
critically acclaimed 2004
American documentary
“What the Bleep
Do We Know!?”
Dr. Dispenza’s training
and education are
in the fields of
neurology, neuroscience,
cellular biology,
memory formation, aging
and longevity.
He also has a Doctor of
Chiropractic degree and
is an honorary member
of the National Board of
Chiropractic Examiners
in the United States.
Years ago, an accident
left him with several
broken bones in his back.
The grim prognosis
by doctors
was that he would never
be able to walk again.
Dr. Dispenza has
always been interested
in human potential.
He strongly believes
that the power that
creates our body can also
heal disease or injury.
Thus he decided not to
have the back surgery
his doctors recommended
and instead
surrendered himself
to this great power.
About 12 weeks later,
he returned to work,
fully recovered.
After this
life changing experience,
he traveled the world
studying
“spontaneous remission”
or the sudden reversal
of an illness without
a medical explanation.
He found that there were
four common
characteristics among
those people he met
who had undergone
this wonderful
transformation.
Last week, he shared
with us two of these traits:
first, these persons
all believed that there was
some spiritual aspect
that lived within them
and second, they all realized
that it was their own
negative thoughts that
had caused their condition.
Today
Dr. Dispenza shares more
about his findings.
The third thing
they had in common
is that they said
that they had to
re-invent themselves.
They had to
become somebody else.
They couldn't be
the same person any longer.
They began
to change their brain
just by thinking differently.
We can do that when the
neuroscience behind it
says that, “We can
change our brain whenever
we learn new things,
but more importantly
we can begin
to rehearse mentally.”
Mentally rehearse
who we want to be
and as we do that,
we force the brain
to fire new sequences,
new patterns
and new combinations.
Whenever we make
the brain work differently,
we just made a new mind.
The last thing
they had in common
which I found so unique
was that they had long
moments where they lost
track of time and space,
where they were
sitting down
and they were creating
this new ideal that
when they open their eyes
they expected it
to be an hour later.
Yes, they open their eyes.
well,
They thought
it was 20 minutes and it was
an hour and a half later.
In other words,
they became so involved
in their rehearsal
that time and space
disappeared.
And they moved
from that state of survival
to the state of creation.
In the state of creation,
we become selfless.
We forget about ourselves.
On functional imagery,
if you look at nuns
and reverie of prayer,
Buddhist monks
and meditation,
a part of the brain
that turns on is called
the "frontal lobe"
and that is like
the volume control
of the brain.
When the frontal lobe
begins to work properly,
it quiets down
all the other circuits
and the brain
so nothing else
is being processed, but
a single-minded thought.
All of a sudden
they started to experience
altruistic states of
compassion and joy and
inspiration and goodwill.
What they didn't know is
that the moment
they were doing that,
they were re-conditioning
the body to a new mind.
They were beginning
to change the gene
and activate
a new genetic expression
as a result of it .
And heal?
And heal.
As the result?
As a result, yes.
Scientists found
very unique phenomena
while conducting research
regarding
the meditation practice
of Buddhist monks.
In the experimentations
that were done
on the Buddhist monks,
they produced
a brain wave pattern
called gamma waves.
And gamma waves are
when you’re in the zone,
when you’re
totally connected,
when you’re in the flow.
The interesting thing is
that when the brain is
in synchrony, when
the circuits in the brain
are producing
the same frequency, we
could say that the brain
now is working more
in a holistic sense.
In other words, more parts
are talking to other parts.
The brain is
in psychic union.
As a result of that,
that gamma wave is when
those coherent signals
cause circuits to begin
to form and maintain
new circuitry
and new connections.
And when the monks
came out of the meditation
and they tested them
hours later, they were
still maintaining
that gamma pattern
even though they were
no longer in meditation.
Not only were they in bliss,
but they were in a
functional state of unity
in which their internal
order was greater than
their external environment.
That’s my definition
of mastery;
when we’ve maintained
an internal chemical,
neurological and
emotional state so well
that nothing
in our external world
can move us from it.
When Science and
Spirituality returns
we will have more
from our interview
with the knowledgeable
Dr. Joe Dispenza.
Please stay tuned to
Supreme Master
Television.
Welcome back,
caring viewers to
Science and Spirituality
on Supreme Master
Television.
We are speaking
with Dr. Joe Dispenza,
an American research
scientist and chiropractor,
on the power of the mind
and the miracles
that can occur
when we decide to
change the way we think
and when we practice
deep concentration
or meditation.
When we produce
synchronized
coherent patterns,
the immune system
gets very strong.
These monks
they didn’t get sick
because their system
was so integrated and
so orderly that disease
couldn’t live in their body.
The signal
that’s travelling down
the central nervous system
is creating amazing order
that allows the body
to begin to function
in wonderful ways.
And the mind
can’t change the brain
because the mind is
the product of the brain.
The mind is
the brain in action.
So who’s changing
the brain and the mind?
That’s called
“consciousness.”
It’s the immaterial aspect,
the spiritual aspect of us
that uses a brain
and a body to produce
different levels of mind
and only when
we’re truly conscious
and only when
we’re truly self-aware.
Only when we notice
can we begin to make
measurable changes
in our life.
When our mind changes,
our lives change as well.
When I was talking about
creating my day
in the movie,
“What the Bleep
Do We Know!?”
what I was saying
most importantly was that,
if I’m going to sit down
and take the time
to emulate the Creator, if
I’m going to be like God,
if I’m going to emulate
the quantum field which
gives life to all things,
if I am going
to express divinity and
I’m going to be a Creator,
I want to know
that my thoughts count
and I want to know that
I some way made contact
with this mind.
So I need a sign to
let me know, great mind,
cosmic mind, that
I’ve been heard by you.
I want you to bring
a signal or a sign to me
in my life in a way
that I could least expect.
Because if I could expect
it, it’s not new right?
I want it to be unknown
and I want it
to be surprising.
I want it to surprise me
so that it leaves no doubt
that my efforts today
were heard and noticed
by you
so that I have such joy
from the experience
that it inspires me
to want to do it again.
Now we’re no longer
living as victims
to the environment.
We’re no longer allowing
whatever it is out there
to produce this internal
chemical change and
we associate that event or
reacting to how we feel.
Instead we’ve done
something internally
that’s produced an effect
externally, and we’re
going to pay attention to
what we did in here
that did that there.
Now our environment
is no longer
controlling our thinking,
our thinking is now
controlling
our environment.
Dr. Dispenza has noted
that celebrated inventors
and scientists throughout
history, have had
similar characteristics
in terms of the functioning
of their brains.
Now great inventors
in history here,
great visionaries
that had genius ideas,
they had the ability to
function neuroplastically.
They had the ability
to have a neuroplastic
brain, which means
in the brain
the sum of the parts
is greater than the whole.
So, they could
learn something
and begin to speculate
and ask questions
and begin to think about
those answers.
For example, Einstein,
when he was 12 years old,
he asked himself
this question,
“If I ride my bicycle
at the speed of light, and
I turn my head lights on,
will they go on?”
Now he thought about
that question
every single day of his life.
Now 10 years later,
he’s working as a clerk
in a Swiss patent office,
and he’s watching a man
fix a roof.
He’s just
looking out the window,
and he kind of pauses
and he stares.
The moment he goes blank,
he understands relativity
in one second.
The vision was so clear
that he had to
go back to school
to learn the mathematics
to explain the vision
that he saw.
It was outside
of his understanding
intellectually.
When he published
his papers on relativity,
there were no footnotes.
So where did that
information come from?
It came from a greater
level of consciousness,
not the consciousness
that makes up
the free will of you and I,
the journeyman,
the journeywoman
on the progress of life,
but the
universal consciousness.
So as he began
to create the mind
of the understanding
of relativity,
his brain became
a receiver of information
from the quantum field,
and he tuned into that mind
and then the brain
began to download
the information because
the quantum field
is an information field.
His brain became
completely rewired
to understand exactly
what it was.
We close with this final,
insightful thought
from Dr. Dispenza.
I think our purpose in life
is to express God.
It’s naturally within us,
and when we begin
to unlearn those
emotional states
that drive us to
our lowest denominator
and we begin
to reinvent a new self and
recondition a new self,
we go from being selfish
to being selfless.
We are thankful that
we had the opportunity
to speak with
Dr. Joe Dispenza about
his remarkable research
and about his
extraordinary life story.
We wish him
much success
in his further study
of the role and function
of the brain
and the innate potential
in humans for greatness.
Enlightened viewers,
we very much appreciate
your kind companionship
for this episode of
Science and Spirituality.
