What the Bleep!?: Down the Rabbit Hole Page #12

---

- How do we know that it's reality?

- What is real reality?

They have taken laboratory animals...

and they've hooked up electrodes

in certain parts of their brain...

that produce those neuropeptides.

And those neuropeptides

are such strong chemicals...

that given the fact that they

train the laboratory animal...

to press a lever to get

that chemical release-

that neuropeptide release-

it would choose the

neuropeptide release...

more than hunger more than sex...

more than thirst more than sleep.

As a matter of fact it went to

the point of physical exhaustion...

and collapsed before it would

take care of itself physically.

And that's really what

stress does to our body.

We become so addicted to

the stress in our lives...

that we can't quit our job

even though it doesn't serve us.

We can't leave our relationship

because it doesn't serve us.

We can't make choices because

the stimulus and responses...

produce the chemistry

that clouds our choices.

And we're no different than the dog

who lacks its ability to make choices...

because of its smaller frontal lobe.

So how can anyone really

say they're in love...

with a specific person for example?

They're only in love

with the anticipation...

of the emotions they're addicted to.

Because the same person could fall out

of favor the next week by not complying.

Oh Josh!

- Oh!

- Amanda!

How can you not freakin' see?

No. No no no no. You

got the punch line wrong.

It's a

- It's a photographer's joke.

Go on about your uh

- Uh music.

Are you-Are you okay?

Well I-

I saw that groom humping some girl.

Uh when?

Just now!

I was with the

uh- the groom-

- Hey I can read lips!

- I'm sorry.

Uh I was with the groom just now.

He loves Paulette.

Where?

Polacks-They all look

the same in a tux.

Everybody secretly is an adventurer.

Everybody loves the adventure.

It's just taking that first step.

And once they have the

moment of insight...

that moment of insight

carries frequency.

It carries a message.

The cells of the body are

enlivened by possibility.

They're enlivened by unknown potentials.

They're enlivened by a future

history or future opportunity...

that may be down the rabbit

hole a little further.

And if they allow themselves

to experience the quandary...

and the mysticism and the possibility...

that when they emerge from the rabbit

hole they're a different person.

And now they go back into their world.

And because they've

processed that information...

and left footprints in the

mind and in the brain...

their perception of the

world will never be the same.

How can we say that we have

lived fully every day...

by simply experiencing the same emotions

that we're addicted to every day?

A master is quite a different cat.

Another drink?

It is one that sees the day

as an opportunity in time...

to create avenues of reality...

and emotions that are unborn...

that the day become infinite tomorrows.

- To the groom!

- To the groom!

Whoo!

- What's up guys?

- 'Sup man?

- Hello.

- What do we need?

- Some foxes.

- Who put out!

Yeah baby!

Yes it's a psychosomatic

network and yes some of us-

you know particularly adolescent boys-

are under the control

of lower... centers.

More drinks. More drinks.

The eye isn't in control

of the molecules of emotion.

It's more um

- I don't want to say at the mercy of it.

But these rapid eye movements that

help us decide where to focus...

are mediated in the midbrain...

and you can map opiate

receptors there...

and receptors for many

of the other peptides.

So once again the relevant

search command that's going on...

is related to finding a

certain emotional state.

Oh. Oh gosh. She

wouldn't fall for me. No.

Oh mama!

Whoo! What the hell are you waitin' for?

Come on you little pussies!

Geez! I can't believe you guys!

What are you

- Ooh come on. Come over here. Just get the hell outta the way.

Hi there honey. Come on baby.

You know you want it. Oh

don't give me that look.

What about people who

are addicted to sex?

Actually sex itself is an invention...

to allow us to see into the future.

Think about that for a while.

Whoa! Whoo!

Hello there big boy.

Oh mama!

Is that a rocket in your pocket

or are you just happy to see me?

- I wanna hear Some polka music okay?

- I'm gonna play the polka music.

You can't have a Polish

wedding without polka music!

No! Would you leave it alone!

How can you have a Polish wedding without any

- Polish music?

Keep your

- hands off my equipment!

It ain't a Polish

wedding without a polka!

Our mind literally creates our body.

But it all starts in the cell.

And who gives the cells the order?

The orders come from the

neuronet in our brain...

which are based on the experiences and

information that we've logged in there.

We use a certain box...

of solutions to our life...

that causes chemistry to take place.

So in order for us to

change the chemistry...

we would literally have

to change the neuronet...

which means we'd have

to change our identity...

which means we'd have

to change our attitude...

or change the way in which we

interact with our environment.

And every time we keep

being the same person...

and keep experiencing

the same attitudes...

all we're doing is reinforcing...

ourselves as our identity.

I once did a little

gig in a women's prison.

They were all heroin addicts.

And by teaching them that they

have receptors for the heroin...

and that the more

heroin that they take...

their ability to make their

own internal endorphins...

their own internal heroin

basically starts to decline...

and the receptors start

to become sub-sensitive...

or there's actually less of them.

So there's these actual changes.

Then this new information about how

less brain cells are being made...

so that people get kind of-

In all addictions they

get stuck in old patterns.

The person's mental life...

becomes dominated by pain...

such that everything that they

perceive is colored by the pain.

And sometimes every way that they

react and everything that they do...

becomes all about their pain.

One of the things about receptors

is they change in their sensitivity.

If a given receptor for a

given drug or internal juice...

is being bombarded...

for a long time at a high intensity...

it will literally shrink up.

There will be less of

them or it will be...

hooked up in such a way that it

is desensitized or down-regulated.

So the same amount of

drug or internal juice...

will elicit a much smaller response.

No! No!

If we're bombarding the cell

with the same attitude...

and the same chemistry...

over and over again on a daily basis...

when that cell finally

decides to divide...

when it produces a sister

cell or a daughter cell...

that next cell will have

more receptor sites...

for those particular

emotional neuropeptides...

and less receptor sites...

for vitamins minerals

nutrients fluid exchange...
