[ Woman ]

Our mind literally creates our body.

So it all starts in the cell.

The cell is a protein-producing machine...

but it gets its signal

from the brain.

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 downregulated.

So the same amount of drug

or internal juice...

will elicit

a much smaller response.

[ Screams ]

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...

or even the release

of waste products or toxins.

Now, all aging is the result

of improper protein production.

What happens when we age?

Our skin gets--

loses elasticity.

Well, elastin is a protein.

What happens to our enzymes?

We don't digest as well.

What happens

to our synovial fluid?

Those are proteins that

become brittle and stiff.

What happens to our bones?

They become thin.

So all aging is a result

of improper protein production.

So then the question arises...

does it really matter

what we eat?

And does nutrition

really have an effect...

if the cell doesn't even

have the receptor sites...

after 20 years

of emotional abuse...

to even receive,

or to let in...

the nutrients that are

necessary for its health?

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Okay, guys. It's time

for a course correction...

on our trajectory, along

the path of our adventure.

And that course correction is

the movement to a new paradigm...

just an expansion of the old--

just as the universe is larger than

we thought it was in our modeling.

And it's always

larger than we think it is.

I hate you.

[ Sighs ]

I hate you.

[ Screams ]

You idiot!

You suck! Look at you!

You're fat! You're ugly!

You are worth nothing!

You're getting old!

I hate you!

[ Panting ]

[ Water Dripping ]

It makes you wonder,

doesn't it?

If thoughts

can do that to water...

imagine what our thoughts

can do to us.

[ Woman ]

No one has ever came along...

and ever given you sufficient,

intelligent knowledge...

about your beautiful self--

how you work

from the inside out.

Why do you have addictions?

Because you have nothing better.

You have dreamt

of nothing better...

because no one has ever

taught you how to dream better.

[ Laughing ]

[ Woman ] Do I think that you are bad?

I don't think you're bad.

Do I think you're good?

I don't think you're good either.

I think you're God.

[ Laughing Continues ]

In general, the field

of psychiatry really doesn't...

allow for enough...

freedom of action

on people's part...

meaning an awful lot of problems--

not all of them, to be sure...

but an awful lot of problems that

get labeled as psychological problems...

really amount to people

making rotten choices.

And they ought to be instructed

to make different ones.

Can I--

Wow. [ Laughs ]

um, borrow some toothpaste?

Thanks.

[ Man ]

When I talk about ''we''disappearing...

I don't mean that

we physically disappear.

What I mean is that we move out

of the area of the brain...

that has to do with

our personality...

that has to do with our association

to people, our association to places...

our association to things

and times and events.

We don't exist in the associative centers

in our brain...

that reaffirms our identity

and reaffirms our personality.

For the average person

in the world who lives life...

and considers their life

boring or uninspiring...

it's because they've

made no attempt...

to gain knowledge and information

that will inspire them.

They're so hypnotized

by their environment...

through the media,

through television...

through people living

and creating ideals...

that everybody struggles

to become...

that no one can actually

become...

in terms of physical

appearance...

and definitions

of beauty and valor...

that are all illusions...

that most people surrender

and live their life in mediocracy.

And they may live that life

and the soul may never really--

their desire may never

really rise to the surface...

so they may want to be

something else.

But if it does rise

to the surface...

and, uh, they ask themselves

if there is something more--

Or, why am I here?

What is the purpose of life?

Where am I going?

What happens when I die?

They start to ask

those questions.

They start to flirt and interact

with the perception...

that they may be having

a nervous breakdown...

and in reality, what they're doing is

that their old concepts...

of how they viewed their life and the world

start to fall apart.

We're in completely new

territory in our brain...

and because we're in

completely new territory...

we're rewiring the brain...

literally reconnecting

to a new concept.

Then ultimately it changes us

from the inside out.

If I change my mind,

will I change my choices?

If I change my choices,

will my life change?

Why can't I change?

What am I addicted to?

What will I lose that

I'm chemically attached to...

and what person, place,

thing, time or event...

that I'm chemically attached to

that I don't want to lose...

because I may have to experience

the chemical withdrawal from that?

Hence the human drama.

[ Answering Machine Beeps ]

Amanda, it's Bob,

and I'm just calling to say...

I hope that

you can come tonight.

I really want to see you.

I, uh, really want to talk to ya.

I know we can work things out.

[ Woman ]

What's the only planet in the Milky Way...

that has habitation

that is steeped...

in enormous subjugation

of religion?

You know why that is?

It's because people

have set up right and wrong.

[ Man ] If I do this,

I'm going to get punished by God.

If I do the other thing,

I'm going to get rewarded.

This is a really

poor description...

that tries to map out a path in life

for us to follow...

but with deplorable results.

Because there really is

no such thing as good or bad.

We're judging things far

too superficially that way.

Does that mean you're in favor of sin

and licentiousness and depravity? No.

It simply means

that you need to improve...

your expression and understanding

of what you're dealing with here.

There are things that I do,

and I know they'll evolve me.

There are other things

that will not evolve me.

But it's not good or bad.

There's no God waiting to punish you...

because you did

one or the other.
