3:21
peek from the clutch
3:25
her listen up i don't want to blow
3:27
your mind or freak you out
3:29
right now you're actively
3:32
hallucinating
3:34
now
3:35
i'm truly talking to you through this
3:37
audio you really are a of the
3:39
clutch by your brain
3:41
his hallucinating all the time
3:44
the reality is a hallucination
3:47
now what do i mean not
3:49
saying that you have been mushrooms without
3:51
your knowledge
3:52
what i'm saying is that your brain is
3:55
making up everything
3:57
around
3:59
i don't mean
3:59
object don't exist in the world what
4:02
i mean is that are sensors
4:04
perception of the world
4:07
or what we see what
4:09
we smell what we hear what
4:11
we teeth and everything
4:13
we think is all mediated
4:16
by the brain our
4:18
eyes are not a video camera
4:20
that just capture the truth of what is out
4:22
there
4:23
and that chew on multiple levels
4:26
the first our perception is mediated
4:29
by what were biologically
4:31
capable of perceive it human
4:33
eyes and the human the optical
4:35
part of the brain only perceive
4:37
a certain range of colors for instance
4:40
we know that animals know all
4:42
the can perceive more and some
4:44
perceive many less
4:45
the media
4:47
what you hear
4:48
the only a reflection of
4:51
what the human ear and your in particular
4:53
they can actually hear we
4:56
know there are noises that humans
4:58
don't here because they're too high or
5:00
too low and infect humans over time
5:02
him age out
5:03
if hearing certain things even if you have only
5:06
normal hearing might not even
5:08
talking about people who have hearing loss in old age
5:10
although many people
5:10
do you but there are high pitched noise is
5:12
the only people
5:14
in their teens and early twenties can hear that everyone
5:17
out of here
5:18
so on the first level is
5:20
that we're only perceiving what
5:22
we are even biologically able to proceed
5:25
which means that there are already many things
5:28
outside of us be on the our biological
5:30
perception now how
5:32
far you wanna take where do you want to make
5:35
that a spiritual religious belief harvey
5:37
one interpreted it's true biologically
5:40
there are things happening around us that
5:42
we cannot even perceive our
5:44
brains are not all knowing and i'll see in
5:47
addition our brains are
5:49
actively curated what
5:52
information our senses get
5:54
us so your i
5:56
is not just perceiving even a limited
5:58
amount of things
6:00
that it can perceive in
6:02
fact your brain is editing constantly
6:05
what it thinks you need to see
6:07
so for instance
6:08
the work you probably see
6:10
the know
6:10
then your face most of the time or any of that
6:14
that's not because it's not in your field division
6:16
it's because your brain out
6:19
knows so that there isn't an object
6:21
in the middle of your feel division all the time
6:24
your brain literally takes
6:26
the information from your eyes light
6:29
bounces off your know like any other object
6:31
goes into your eyes
6:33
that a part of your brain responsible for
6:35
decoding the signals from your
6:37
eyes and your optic nerves
6:39
we don't need to see that just take that out
6:42
how many times as you
6:42
or something and , really
6:45
that make you were distracted you
6:48
looked as an you can see the thing you come back
6:50
it's right there your brain had
6:52
edited
6:52
it out it wasn't looking for it
6:55
your brain decides what you
6:57
are literally going to see
6:59
with your eyes think about
7:01
looking at photos of yourself
7:04
your thoughts about how you look
7:07
the actually influence what see think
7:10
about how often have not noticed that some
7:12
the got a haircut or is wearing glasses
7:14
are now they're wearing contacts or something what's
7:16
different about them we can go
7:19
forever not noticing these
7:21
changes because our brain has created an image
7:23
of what that person looks like
7:25
it's just using that image
7:27
i'm not during our attention to any
7:29
changes
7:30
the same is true
7:31
the you're hearing when you
7:34
think that you are hearing a certain sound
7:37
that's what you're going to hear when
7:39
you have a preconception in your
7:41
mind how about let's say
7:43
what attitude towards us
7:46
that person size
7:48
you're going to hear that as a lover
7:50
sigh or a frustrated sigh or a
7:52
sad sight depending on what thoughts
7:54
about the person
7:55
our and what your thoughts about their thoughts
7:57
about you are what you believe that they say you're
8:00
literally going to hear it differently in your scan
8:02
to categorize differently or your friends going to completely
8:04
ignore so
8:07
your brain is making everything up
8:10
making up housing how
8:12
they t
8:12
what you see what you hear what it
8:15
all means
8:15
your brain it constantly assembling
8:18
all of this information sound waves
8:20
and vibrations and light bounces
8:22
off of objects and into the of your
8:24
eyes and
8:26
no molecules a smell
8:28
and what your taste buds experience
8:31
and what your fingers touch your
8:33
brain is seeking all that sensory information
8:36
and , is anything yet and
8:38
evaluating it and deciding that makes sense
8:40
or doesn't and if it said so it's you are not
8:43
your breed a speaking at all your
8:47
experience of the world
8:49
essentially
8:50
one hundred and hallucination
8:53
with your brain
8:53
having a bunch of sensory input and then creating
8:57
images
8:57
and sounds and scenes
8:59
and experiences for you
9:02
and your
9:02
oh it wasn't in when you're sleep
9:05
for dreaming
9:07
that why am i telling you this
9:09
is not to make you
9:11
trust your although a little healthy skepticism
9:14
of our brains as always a good idea it
9:16
be has your making it all
9:18
up anyway so you might
9:21
as well
9:21
leave what you want
9:23
when you really started
9:25
work to the next level
9:27
you really start to be
9:30
willing to admit how
9:32
often your brain already
9:35
making up to experience without
9:37
your conscious direction
9:39
that's when you become willing
9:42
to take the conscious direction who
9:45
tell your brain what to think and
9:46
leave on a purpose
9:48
your brain is already
9:51
eating your experience of the world
9:54
it's not just it it's not just
9:56
filming yeah it's not just here
9:58
in your objectively
9:59
your brain as anything at all the time
10:02
it's already telling you what to pay attention
10:04
to and what to not pay to and what
10:06
evidence to become cognizant of what evidence
10:09
to ignore it's just doing all
10:11
of that book though the surface unconsciously
10:13
driven by your unconscious beliefs
10:16
about what the world supposed to be like what
10:18
you're supposed six
10:19
syrians what years with the here and see
10:21
and smell and taste and think
10:24
how thought work yes
10:26
it's about uncovering that going
10:29
on under the surface but it's also that deciding
10:31
what to believe on purpose
10:33
and there really is no limit
10:35
to what you are allowed to believe
10:39
and when you frame it yourself as well this
10:41
is reality but i'm gonna believe this other thing
10:44
you're setting yourself to three
10:45
height you already have to overcome this
10:48
idea that what you are already perceiving
10:50
is reality rate you frame it's
10:52
yourself as though this though this
10:55
well this is reality but i'm gonna try to be
10:57
delusional and believe this other thing
11:00
there is no reality that we all
11:02
agree on that we all perceive the same way
11:05
and the human brain as i didn't keep a ball
11:08
the actually perceiving true
11:10
reality with no filter editing
11:13
the us
11:15
literally
11:16
howard existing your brain will never see
11:19
the are sounds existing your brain will never
11:21
hear it's not even biologically capable
11:23
your body's not biologically capable of doing
11:27
the already
11:28
we're having an edited sense of the world
11:30
that happening on the thought level also
11:33
think about your pre programmed to beliefs
11:36
as being like
11:38
that biological capacity to
11:40
the only certain colors a here only certain
11:42
sounds it's like the preset your
11:44
brain came with but the differences
11:47
if you're i don't have the cones
11:50
to be able to see the certain color nothing
11:52
we can do about that it really is
11:54
really or at least that's my
11:56
belief i could totally wrong somebody could inventing
11:59
technology right all that but what i
12:01
do know is that your pre programmed sought
12:03
limitations about what it's possible
12:06
for you about who you are but who you can
12:08
be but what the world is or can
12:10
be like those
12:12
not biological you will did not come
12:14
with those preset the way you did with your
12:16
hearing in your site potentially
12:18
you came you don't
12:21
believe through social
12:23
three what you are from
12:24
family your friends society
12:27
the me yeah whatever rates
12:29
those are all changeable
12:31
the never frame it yourself as
12:34
well this is reality this is the
12:35
truth but i'm gonna try to believe something different
12:37
i'm gonna try to believe
12:39
eight an advantage of this work
12:42
not legitimising your existing
12:45
beliefs and your existing perceptions
12:48
as though they
12:50
are one hundred percent objective and because
12:52
they're not your brain is hallucinating
12:55
an the time so
12:57
if you're going to be hallucinating you
12:59
might as well hallucinate something
13:02
positive on purpose that you want to believe
13:04
you
13:05
may as well choose on
13:06
purpose what to believe don't
13:09
tell yourself that you currently
13:12
check if we receive perceive reality
13:15
and now you're had try believe something counter
13:17
to reality that's not true
13:20
your brain it constantly making up what you call
13:22
reality
13:22
some psychological theories
13:25
the human mind that we
13:27
don't even have a consistent self overtime
13:29
at all that , are constantly
13:32
hallucinating a story
13:35
to
13:35
the eight and imagine self over
13:38
time and any given moment just to
13:40
that makes us feel sick there
13:42
is no true self over time that
13:44
we are just constantly one
13:46
in our minds that every moment to feel
13:49
secure an integrated singer who may
13:51
be an illusion which by the way it's something that
13:54
many spirits
13:54
the traditions particularly from eastern
13:57
country than meditation base residents have taught
13:59
the whole time
14:00
the ego and the south is an illusion felt
14:03
this a new
14:04
with more just looking at how
14:06
we can intervene in it consciously
14:08
and deploy it to our
14:09
the vantage
14:11
the whatever you're choose believe
14:14
just understand that your are already
14:16
making it all up
14:17
