[Music] hi everyone so
what we're going to do over here is give you guys a couple of action steps to
move into what stephen kotler calls the polyphasic life so if you think about
the world today we live in a monophasic world the world tells us that there's
one singular state of consciousness but if you look at indigenous cultures
they lived and functioned in multi phases of
consciousness polyphasic living you could call it the archwa tribe in the
amazon they believe what they dream in the dream world is real and they use
dreams to communicate so a crazy story but the archwa tribe um this is the
tribe i wrote about in my book they called it the extraordinary mind and
they were suffering because their their rainforest was being cut down by logging
companies and they wanted help they went into the dream state and they
projected into the dream state the cry for help
my friend lynn twist who's a famous um
famous um ngo leader non-government organization
she had started an organization that was feeding
millions of people and she had kind of completed that she was looking for new
things to do and she would wake up every day with dreams of these these
indigenous people with red paint on their face she couldn't figure out what
it was until she was telling a friend and he says well what you're describing
sounds like the achwar so he flew with her to visit the achawa tribe and it
turned out that they had been calling for help and here was that help lin
partnered with the achawa tribe and went on to save and preserve close to
four million am i if i remember the numbers right four million acres of
amazon land right that's what we mean by being able
to access altered states of consciousness now it's not just
indigenous tribes in the amazon think about
sufis the the mystical uh element of islam they access altered states through
dance think about the buddhists who access altered states
through meditations um my mom who is a hindu she has a group of
other women who are buddhist and hindu and they come together in this this
community of maybe around 10 to 20 women and they sit together and they chant and
they pray for other members of their community who might be sick or who might
need some help and something really interesting happens
within days these people start experiencing healings or they start
seeing elements of their their health shift again this is accessing those
altered states but the modern western world tells us that this is not true i
was interviewing stephen kotler he says it started with the french enlightenment
i mean it was an amazing aspect when we came out of the dark ages and the
renaissance emerged but with that focus on science somehow we forgot to remember
that our ancestors had access to these consciousness technologies in really
remarkable ways that we did not bring into the modern world
so the goal here and the goal of atheists here is to is to
teach you guys the idea the model of reality that you can live
a far more limitless life when you get to access these altered states of
consciousness how many of you here would like to to start bringing this into your
life immediately so what i'm going to talk about is the
state that i'm most familiar with see one of the interesting thing about
states of consciousness is we all experience them in our own way right so
what a sufi is experiencing is different from what a tibetan monk is different
from what um i might experience at 40 years of zen or you might experience
during your meditation we still haven't figured out how to
map and collaborate and label all of these states so sometimes we talk about
the same state but we have different labels just the state of flow itself has
been called by many different terms from mojo to flow to um state of
limitless now the state that i'm most obsessed with is this i call it the
state of limitless and i've been talking about this for almost nine years
now let me try to define it it's a mental state of mind in which you
are pulled forward by big goals yet happy where you are now it creates a
feeling of growth and a feeling of being lucky
so let me define that again okay the state of limitless is the state
where you have crazy visions for yourself in the world crazy visions for
how you want to grow for how you want to improve the world for how you want to
leave the world better off for humanity and they're not coming from the ego
these visions are not about oh you know i want to get a million bucks saved in
my bank account or buy a flashy car often divisions are about pushing
humanity forward it's a more it's less ego it's more us more we but at the same
time your happiness isn't tied to that vision your happiness is untangled from
the vision you're happy in the now while still moving towards a vision now
there's some interesting things about this this quality of the state of
limitless which i tried to map and label because i felt this my
students felt this the first is a sense of connectedness
tribe community connectedness become really really really important to you if
you run a company you care about your employees the state of joy the
friendships within your company matter you like events like a-fest because you
get to connect wim hof said it at the pool today he said something a lot along
the lines of it's no longer about individuality it's about us it's about
us coming together that's one thing that you start to feel
in this state human connection is really really really important it's less about
the ego but that level of connectedness also
extends to all life you start caring about the environment you care about
the fact that you know 15 10 to 15 species are going extinct every week in
the world today and you want to do something about it you sign up for gift
back there you're like rebecca rebecca is one of those people who just has this
huge sense of connectedness now the second thing is you're tapped into
intuition you feel an impulse you feel a gut reaction you sometimes
wake up in the middle of the morning and you instantly have an idea how many of
you have experienced this in the morning or while you're showering these ideas
flood your brain that's intuition intuition can be a powerful thing a
modern world sometimes tells us to shut it off or they you know 10 years ago you
couldn't talk about psychic potential you'd be considered
a wacko and there were indeed lots of psychics
who were scam artists today i believe the idea that we all have psychic
potential within us and that we can apply it to business is becoming more
and more real newark college of engineering did a study the professor's
name was john mihalosky he put ceos through esp test test to test their
psychic potential they found a correlation ceos who had higher psychic
potential on these tests were the same ceos who were creating the biggest rises
in profitability for their companies so i believe this is going to be another
big field of study but when you're in that state of limitless you have that
potential you are drawn to people or repulsed by some people you are drawn to
ideas and you instantly sometimes know what not to focus on it's as if you have
this inner guidance system now the third
is this inspiration drives your intention
you sometimes have difficulty with traditional goal setting because
you you have start to awaken to the fact
that when you do traditional goal setting you're sometimes chasing the
goals that society has said you have to chase
but when you're listening to your heart and your intuition
you're chasing the goals that your soul or a greater power want you to chase and
therefore you tend to be more dead on you don't go all the way to achieve
something only to realize that you're still miserable because you were chasing
something that your parents told you you had to do or society told you you had to
do here's a classic example in america america has five percent of the world's
lawyer of the world's population 70 of the world's lawyers
and the reason for that is because since the 80s through shows like ali mcbeal
and l.a law law has been glamorized in the u.s law right now is the highest
starting salary if you come out as a lawyer from graduate school higher
starting salary 75k in america but here's where it gets crazy
numerous studies show that 50 of lawyers are clinically depressed
50 percent but why do people become lawyers anyway
they are chasing a goal embedded in them by media by society
no baby no child no seven-year-old goes mom and dad i want to be a lawyer
it just doesn't happen so people who are in the state of limitless
their intention their goals are driven by inspiration
now the final element is that they feel lucky it's really bizarre luck seems to
be on your side you notice synchronicities you notice coincidences
the right people tend to come into your life okay so these four things define
this state i repeat connectedness with all life with all people you tend to
have a kind heart a good soul intuition you have this gut instinct on
what you need to do it's not always there don't feel like you know you you
it's always turned on but it's but you are more right than wrong 55 or 60 of
the time and often that's enough to do really well in life
you take inspired action your goals come from within not from what society tells
you to do and you just feel pretty damn lucky you don't know what's going on but
stuff that you intend seems to come to you easily
so to get there it's about two things right
like i said you got to have a vision for your future and you got to have
happiness in the now so all human beings can exist with these
two as leaders you could have no happiness no vision in that case you're
depressed life is not going right it's a miserable state of being you should seek
some help but you also have people who are happy but they have no vision i call
this the current reality trap you're happy but
you don't really have any plans for your life or the world now some of you might
say well that's fine isn't the point of life to be happy maybe but you see you
can get happy from smoking a joint with inam on the beach tonight
or steve carter they they really know how to roll and
but tony robbins says all of us have two great spiritual needs
the need to grow and the need to contribute as souls we're here to grow
we're here to contribute to other souls there's that connection bit again so if
you're just happy but you don't have a vision
you're never going to be fulfilled and that's really the secret you got to
be happy in the now but you got to have a vision right now there are people and
this is the majority of entrepreneurs around the world they have a vision but
they are not happy because they've fallen into the trap of deciding that
they will be happy when they attain that vision when they get that next round of
investment when they hit that next salary ratio when they pull in that deal
that's too because if you are in that state of limitless you find that
luck is on your side that you move so much faster but you got to use happiness
as a fuel and not happiness as the target your happiness must come while
you're attaining your goal not at the end of that attainment yes so yes
so you can map it out like that right happiness in the now vision for the
future negative spiral low on vision low in happiness current reality trap high
on happiness low on vision stress and anxiety which is high vision low
happiness where you want to be is in that that fought box and in that box it
almost feels as if you can bend reality i'm sure you guys have seen people
wearing that beautiful mind valley t-shirt ben reality that's where that
that idea comes from it feels we we joke about it but it feels as if you can
shift the very fabric of reality to close the gap between your vision
and your life right now now i i coined the word ben reality
around 10 years ago when i was giving a speech on this topic on stage
in calgary but what is interesting is in 2011 steve jobs passed away and walter
isaacson released jobs bio and in that bio three times walter isaacson referred
to what jobs could do as banned reality and i do believe
that jobs was in on this because in that bio isaacson wrote about the mystical
aspects of steve jobs how he believed that there were certain people who had
unique abilities there's the avatars and the sages from india and he believed he
was one of them i'm sure many of you guys read about steve jobs obsession
with paramahansa yogananda when he before he died the only book on
his ipad
was autobiography of a yogi by yogananda and that book is about shifting the
fabric of reality yogananda talks about how the hindus
call reality maya it means illusion and that you can shift maya
so steve jobs at his funeral he gave a copy of that book to everyone who
attended bill gates got a copy everyone who was there got a copy and i believe
at some level jobs was in on this you can bend reality now you can't talk
about this now because you know movies like the secret hyped it up without
really giving a clue or really approaching it from a scientific
perspective but what if we could what if we could actually approach this from a
scientific perspective that's what's happening now you can read this in books
such as the power of a
or the field or michael schmicker's um michael schmicker's book damn it i
forgot the name anyway google michael schmicker if you
can spell smicker but it's becoming more and more and more
um commonplace to talk about this right now i only talk about this with an
a-fest audience when i'm giving a corporate speech i still don't because
you know regular corporations don't don't really buy into this yet but
this is how we run mindvalley this is how i function in my life now i want to
give you some tools to get you there okay now the first is called the six
phase meditation so it's based on this idea there are six
human needs that we need to level up in and if we
can level up in these human needs we move ourselves to the state of limitless
now the first need is a feeling of being loved and loving others
so if you think about you know a high functioning computer the computer needs
electricity needs to be plugged in it needs a good cpu it needs ram it needs a
hard drive think of it like these these are little components of your human
consciousness that you need to level up so you can get to these states the first
is you must feel love for yourself marissa
pierre talks about this so well and you must feel love for others for whatever
reason this seems to magnify that ability
number two gratitude and happiness you must be happy in the now number three
peace now what we mean by peace is you have removed negative charges towards
other people so at 40 years of zen you know chris's
institute one of the things they do to raise your
alpha right they found so so so they found that one of the quickest ways
to raise your alpha is through forgiveness exercise so when you're on
40 years of zen for five days three full days you work on forgiveness you work on
having your brain strapped to machines and you're applying forgiveness to
remove every negative charge you have towards everyone in your life who has
wronged you you know ex-business partners ex-employees school teachers
parents spouses even your kids every single thing and the crazy thing is
scientists are now studying forgiveness and they're finding that it actually
shifts your consciousness and it shifts your body one study
from a university in holland found that forgiveness increases your vertical jump
think about that vertical jump after i spoke about this an nba star called me
up and said hey can you get me into 40 years of zen
i kid you not and um forgiveness improves your endurance but
forgiveness also seems to heal the heart it seems to create less anxiety more
feelings of love it makes you sleep better so it's a very powerful attribute
okay so that's the first three now the next
three is a vision for the future knowing where you want to be in the
future self-determination meaning feeling that you have you have control
over today you're here and you're not a victim of
circumstance you have control over your day day to day you're not working for an
abusive boss who is pushing you around or you're not an abusive relationship
where someone is telling you what to do and you're not also just a helpless
human being complaining about being stuck in traffic
in a job you don't like most people in the world today feel as
victims of the world they feel the world happens to them to have a sense of
control to have self-determination you means you feel that the world happens
through you and not to you
yes or yes now the final ingredient is a feeling of
being supported now this doesn't just mean support from family and friends it
means support from a higher power it's why in many of the protocols even
protocol scientists are developing you end your intention you end your
forgiveness ritual with talking or seeking support from guides from god
from jesus from whatever you believe in now
if this was a computer game and we were characters in a computer game
it should look like this you are high on all of these six qualities but actually
as you go through life you deplete in these qualities and so
the trick is how do you stay at top level on these qualities so what
i developed over the last couple of years is a meditation protocol which is
basically not a meditation protocol i'm i just i have to call it meditation
for lack of better words you see meditation has become a catch-all phrase
but the problem with meditation is that most meditation thought today i believe
is woefully inadequate and not very powerful it's about breeding in breeding
out clearing your mind focusing on your breath and yes there are benefits to
that right but it's not just that we forget that when we go into these states
of mind you can do more than just be peaceful you can use that mind to solve
problems to practice gratitude to connect with the universe to tap into
psychic potential to heal so when you talk about that you're
talking about what you would call dynamic or active meditation so i
developed the sixth phase as an active meditation you do not have to clear your
mind you do not get bored rather your mind is working on solving problems and
leveling you up in all of these six phases so again okay the six faces are
feeling of being loved and loving others gratitude and happiness peace a vision
for the future self-determination feeling support now in the six phase
meditation you actually go through very rapid fire two minutes each
a leveling up protocol for each of these six spaces we call these protocols
transcendent practices a transcendent practice is any practice where you step
out of the physical world you go inside yourself and you work on something
creative visualization is a transcendent practice healing energy healing is a
transcendent practice acupuncture reiki but also forgiveness gratitude these are
all transcendent practices so all we did is i looked at the six top ones and i
put this in the sixth phase now remember earlier i spoke about how
you need to be happy yet have a vision for the future this is actually what the
six phase is doing the first three in in that yellow border actually level up
feelings of happiness see happiness doesn't just mean you're joyful that's
what gratitude does it means you're free of negative charges it means you're
feeling love that's why there are three different dimensions to leveling up
happiness now the next is leveling up your vision for the future and that is
vision for the future which is three to ten years
self-determination today which is today my day is gonna rock
and it's finally feeling support and this means that i know that i'm
supported universe has my back and i can move throughout the day with
with luck on my side okay so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna guide you
through the six face if you guys haven't done it before but since the six phase
takes is a protocol that takes some development before you leave a-fest
we're actually going to for free give you a program to train you up on this
how many of you here have done the six face before
excellent and how many of you here do it every day when you wake up
awesome so the more you do it the better and better and better it gets okay so
that's one protocol that you will leave with you will leave with a six space
training it's an eight day training again it's completely free you'll get to
take it on mindvalley quest app i'll give you access to it in a moment now
let me tell you about the second protocol right that's 40 years of zen
so six space you can learn it on your own and it creates like
um it creates build up even though i take 40 years of zen i
still do six face every day and now i combine them so there's an advanced
level six phase which i which combines what you learn from 40 years of zen with
the six phase more on that in a bit now let me tell you about 40 years of zen so
these are the brainwave frequencies if you are having burnout you will see that
your beta wave is like super super super high beta has the waking state alpha is
the state of creativity around 10 percent of the people function really
well in waking alpha they tend to be artists they tend to be creators they
tend to be people who often feel lucky waking tata
is where is the state that is often associated with sleep so i i've seen
dave asprey train on waking theta he starts drifting off into sleep but ideas
come to you now delta is the most interesting one about one percent of the
population when we test them at 40 years of zen they have waking delta
what we what they have found with waking delta is that these people have a high
ability to create coincidences or create luck they tend to be
crazy uh influential they tend to be billionaires um one person i did 40
years of zen with she has waking delta like they would see that in
her brain waves so most of us go into delta when we're asleep she could do it
when she was awake and what they found at 40 years of zen is if you can do it
when you're awake it's high correlation with luck you tend to be pretty
successful this lady insanely successful she got like two million bucks as an
advance for her next book right amazingly successful but she would find
that her thoughts would become real and as soon as
the the doctors told her that at 40 years of zen she's like oh my god oh my
god oh god now i understand and i'm like what happened what do you understand she
says okay so i was dating this guy and then he did something really nasty
and he cheated on me and i was so upset and
i broke up with him and i said damn it i hope he breaks his penis
and the next day he fell off a ladder and broke his penis
so um men don't with women who have high
waking delta they can so so i did 40 years of zen right um
with jeffrey jeffrey perlman uh those are some some other students
some of them are uh a festers or from mindvalley u and that's doctor drew in
the center now there are a couple of different exercises you do there
so one of the things is they use these 3d
helmets there are very few of these in the world but they are 3d helmets you
plug them on your brain and you look at the screen and you basically see the
deficiencies in your brain so they map your brain dr drew maps the brain for
about uh he works with chris for about 20 minutes so that's my brain i have
three brain issues asperger's i sometimes accidentally flip words so i'm
like i'll be talking to someone from my team and i'll call them by another
person's name but i don't realize that they realize that and people know that
happens my brain sometimes split words um and i have a third one which um i i
forgot right now anyway it's good when you forget when
you forget your problems so um they map your brain and then
um your brain actually is listening to sound and
just like your brain your your brain's awareness extends to
every element of your body your fingers and so on
your brain extends its awareness to that sound and that sound gives your brain
feedback and you can see over time my what i'm trying to do over here is
improve my ability to recognize non-verbal communication it's to
basically fight asperger's right so you can see over the sessions my score's
going up and then it kind of stabilizes at between 63 and 65 but below that it
was 55 very rapidly those parts of the brain start lighting up so it's a really
really cool system um now the next thing that happens is that you go for
acupuncture so again we are finding that consciousness is not just in the brain
it's through our entire body the the ancient chinese figured this out when
they mapped meridian lines so you go for acupuncture and they stick needles in
you um so you go and map your brain and they stick needles in your head then
just so the rest of your body doesn't feel left out you go and stick needles
in the rest of your body now the final thing and this is the
biggest one you sit in the chamber there's kind of like a red light over
there you wear a helmet like that and basically what's going on is that
this is where they train you to access these states if you have low alpha you
get trained to improve your alpha and after you've done that a couple of um
sessions you can get trained to improve your data you can get trained um and for
and for a few special guests you can get trained to work on your delta but before
you get trained to work on your delta you got to do a heck of a lot of
forgiveness because here's what they found
with delta training you can walk the world for good or for bad and and this
is something i never thought i thought you know if you're spiritually developed
you can only do good turns out no you can walk the world for good or for bad
so they want to make sure that all anger has been removed because one of the
pioneers of this training dr jim harp he runs another institute where you which
is similar to 40 years of zen um it's called biocybernaut it's in victoria now
i've done both i've done both and i honestly believe 40 years of zen is
significantly better but jim hart found that he told me um
well you could train people to be luke skywalker or you could train people to
be darth vader and i've trained a few darth vaders and i never want to do it
again so forgiveness is so so so important all anger all hate must
disappear so again that's a that's a map of my brain i
so i have
gifts in certain areas deficiencies in certain areas
when i'm working my beta can go through the roof and then i feel
um stress but i'm training myself now to to detect it and then slow it down so
when my beta is going up i actually feel this pain in my heart area right here
and as soon as i feel it now i've triggered that in my body as soon as i
feel it i know my brain is going into less efficient uh functioning and so i
do protocols to lower that pain
now theta i fall asleep but delta i really delta like fires me up so i have
really off the charts waking delta
and so when i learned that at 40 years of zen i started developing protocols
where i could use that waking delta to create coincidences so now
the way i meditate the way i work is very different everything i do i work i
go into delta and i work on the energy of it now when you're working in delta
you cannot do creative visualization creative visualization slows down delta
brings up alpha so when you're working in delta you go straight into emotions
and feelings and energy you feel energy you tap into energy you play with energy
for example before giving a speech i'll spend 20 seconds going into delta and
feeling the energy of the speech and the room and i'll see little black spots
where the energy is off and then i i patch it up with light and that's how i
i function in my life right now everything i create starts by tapping
into these access states working with the energy so i want to show you the uh
just a little video i did of the two instructors waving to you guys that
sounds so cheesy okay just just look at the camera just smile
so they're really friendly people they're not like mad scientists that's
dr drew brilliant guy um so that's 40 years of zen now how do you access these
states because we want to make sure those of you who want to stop exploring
these states have a next step so the first step is the six phase we have
we're giving you the training completely free you do not have to pay a dime now
you can get it from mindvalley's quest app so the training is basically i will
guide you through the six phases one phase a day for
for seven days sorry for six days day one you learn the first phase which is
compassion day two we stack on the second phase gratitude day three we
stack on the third phase which is um forgiveness and you learn the protocols
it's 20 minutes a day and then a 10 minute meditation it's on the quest app
so you can download quests right now on android or ipad or iphone even on apple
tv we are on all the platforms you can even do it on on on the web download the
quest app and um basically just click and roll you'll find that there's no buy
button or anything and then start it when you're ready and do day one to day
six and on day seven basically what happens on day seven is we put all the
six phases today uh together and we guide you through it so here's just a
quick one minute video of the quest app so you know what what this tool is about
and how cool this is this is probably the number one learning
platform in the world right now in terms of really high quality education and
high engagement rates uh check it out [Music]
i'm ready to play now put me in the game now i came here to prove it i'm ready to
do it i can't be afraid now put me on the stage now i'm ready to rage now i
feel like an animal stuck in a cage and i'm ready to break out
my time my time none of you people can tell me to stop this time like the last
time you better [Music]
[Music] yeah
cool so um so you can take the six face on quest
and the reason we give it freeze because we know once you get on this app you're
gonna love it and then maybe you'll take some of the other programs
