Understanding The Law of Attraction and How It Works - Explained Simply by Scientist Gregg Braden
Bradon interview take one I was trained as a scientist my backgrounds in the
hard sciences physical sciences the Earth Sciences in the 60s and 70s when I
received that training there was no no room for the possibility the kind of
things that we're talking about now the kinds of things that suggest that our
inner world in our inner thoughts feelings emotions beliefs in any way
affect the world around us and it was through direct experience what I began
to understand was that this is the great secret that everyone knows except us in
the West almost any other culture that we go to from the monasteries in Egypt
and in Tibet and India and the Bolivia and Peru the indigenous traditions
little villages in the Andes Mountains they all know that there is this
experience that we can have inside of our bodies it affects our world in some
way and our science simply has not allowed for that historically I was
trained as a scientist and I was trained to look in the world around me for my
answer so I began to go to these places I began to go into the monasteries all
the places that I mentioned and it was through the direct experience of sitting
in the presence of people who have lived and practiced the the kinds of
traditions Louise Hay and the the other authors I'm so blessed to be sharing
this the stage and this information with but they they teach about and what we
begin to understand is that this is the place where science got it wrong two
places two assumptions that science is made modern science and they're coming
full circle and correcting that now but the first one is that the space that we
believe is empty is not really so empty it's full of a living essence of a
living material that we're only beginning to understand number one and
number two the fact that it is a fact now that we may have experiences inside
of our bodies that influence the world beyond our bodies through the conduit of
what's in this space so it was in going into the monasteries in the notary's and
speaking with indigenous people looking at them eye to eye
heart to heart died to God then I could say to these people when
you just perform that miracle when you just perform that miraculous healing
what is it that you did inside of your body to make that happen and if I didn't
understand what they told me I've asked them again and again and again through
the translators until I understood that they were creating an experience
producing an effect inside of their bodies that my science never told me it
was possible or existed and that was the path that led me and I just want to
emphasize science is good and I believe our science is good and served us well
it simply is incomplete and so it was that path that allowed me to flesh out
the missing pieces that we're only beginning to understand the day marrying
the best science of our time with the wisdom 5,000 years of wisdom of our past
into a greater understanding and that understanding brings us right back to
the question that's a long answer to a short question but it's it's it brings
us back to where we were only now beginning understand that there is
something that we can do in our lives the influence not only the physical body
ours and those of other people around us but but literally influence the physical
reality of our world and that changes everything it changes everything
that we in the West believe about ourselves so as a scientist I've also
come to understand this is a very different way for many people to think
about themselves in their world and and I found that there is a there's a
learning curve there our audiences and our friends and families and co-workers
in my career the water fountain this is not something that people typically talk
about in a technical organization they don't wake up in the morning and say
what kinds of feelings what kinds of dreams what kinds of healings that you
have over the weekend and they're talking about who won the football game
and who won the lotteries but this is this is where it brings us the relevance
in our lives because we all are having experiences every day whether we are
consciously aware of it or not those experiences are physically affecting our
bodies in our world
but Western science now is beginning to understand only in the last year's the
20th and now the first years of the 21st century it is now a scientific fact that
the the space between things is anything but empty it is full of a living
pulsating essence that is so new scientists have yet to agree on a single
term some are calling it a quantum hologram very technical sounding name
dr. Edgar Mitchell the former Apollo astronaut I've had the honor of sharing
a stage with him a number of times he calls it nature's mind Stephen Hawking
calls it the mind of God others simply call it the field in 1944 the father of
quantum physics Max Planck identified the existence of this field and he
called it the matrix he said underlying everything that we
see our bodies included everything we see in the world around us in our bodies
he said there is the existence of what must be a conscious and intelligent mind
this is his language in 1944 he said this mind is the matrix of all matter
and it's from his work at the movie series began and and many of the ideas
that we have today so what we know is this is that we have the opportunity to
influence that field in ways now that we're only beginning understand it's
done through the human heart it's not a thinking process thoughts are important
the ancients made a distinction between thoughts and feelings and emotions and
it's the feelings that are centered in our heart what are called coherent heart
based emotions we know that when we feel a feeling of love compassion
understanding forgiveness we change the self esteem that there is an effect from
that that it changes the electrical in the magnetic fields in our heart and
that those fields literally change the stuff that our world is made of around
our bodies our hearts are the strongest magnetic field in our bodies and our
hearts are the strongest electrical field in our bodies much more so than
the brain while the brain does create those kinds of fields the heart is many
times stronger and what the science now is showing is that when you can change
the field that the atom is in you change the
and we're made of those atoms so we have feelings in our hearts we're changing
the field that connects the stuff everything is made of and we literally
are altering our physical reality in ways that sound miraculous in Western
science but again this is the great secret everyone knows except us because
Western science has only arrived at this understanding you go to these ancient
and indigenous traditions of cultures it's where they begin they begin with
the understanding sure everything is connected and sure we're part of it and
then they take us one step further and they say here I'll show you I'll show
you how to create the effects in your body so that you can that you can heal
your body and you can heal the bodies of others you can change your self-esteem
and your body will mirror that change it doesn't have to be a long slow drawn-out
process it can happen very very quickly it can happen in a matter of minutes we
have we have video documentation from medicine less hospitals in Beijing China
for example where they understand these practices and they've employed them for
for several thousand years and we can look into the body of a living woman
with a cancerous tumor that Western science says is inoperable and then we
can watch is three practitioners that understand the language of human emotion
they create the feeling in their bodies they're not looking at that tumor is an
illness they see that woman is whole healthy vital completely enabled fully
capacitated and as they feel that feeling strongly among themselves her
physical body mirrors that and we can see it through sonograms we can see that
tumor disappear in less than three minutes and that's how quickly reality
can change and this is where the disconnect comes in with Western science
as I've shared this information with scientists and medical doctors all over
the world and they said wow it's a miracle we're gonna have to come back
and study this and we will as soon as we find a cure for cancer or as soon as we
we find the cure to cure on the mechanical level what they see is a
mechanical process and what we now know is is our physical body is the out
picturing is is the mirror of something that is
not so physical and this is this is where science now is is only arriving
the three practitioners in the medicine list hospital in Beijing did not judge
that cancerous tumour they didn't judge it right wrong good or bad they said
it's a quantum possibility and there are many possibilities of course this is
just one they said now we're going to choose another one but this is subtle
and very very different way of looking at things because they acknowledge what
is and invite a new possibility rather than having a charge on what is
there and feeling that somehow we have to manipulate or cut out in the case of
a tumor or change the hammer the physical reality in the submission what
they're doing is acknowledging that that moment that example and they're changing
it on the level of what we would call the quantum blueprint they're feeling
the feeling as if another possibility has has occurred and in doing so
allowing that possibility to replace the one that exists without judging the one
that exists I worked I was an aerospace engineer in Denver Colorado during that
the last years of the Cold War the 1980s and it was when the famous brown cloud
was inundating Denver and we couldn't all drive on the same days we had to
carpool on different days and one day I went to an engineer friend's house to do
my carpool for that week and I got there a little early and I never been to his
house before and I said can I use your bathroom and I went in there and he had
a little post-it notes of affirmations all over the bathroom and they said my
perfect mate is manifesting for me now my perfect mate is manifesting for me
now we got in his car and he had little post-it notes all over the dashboard the
rearview mirror my perfect mate is manifesting for me now and of course I
knew what his office looked like and it was the same way had them all over the
walls in the CRT I said this is affirmation work for you he said nah he
said he said never does and I said why do you think that is he said well look
at me who'd want to be with somebody like me I'm just an engineer you know he
had a very low self esteem about himself and I began to think about the way that
he was applying it was affirmation and other people have applied them very
successfully and what I found the difference was for him it was it was a
thought process that never went beyond what was happening in his mind in his
own picturing his own self-esteem and the thought is important the ancients
are very clear about this in the Sanskrit text they tell us that the
thought is the image of the quantum possibility so in other words in in the
realm of all possibilities everything already exists my friends perfect
relationship and the worst one he'll ever have the lightest of the light the
darkest of the dark are our greatest healing and our greatest suffering
they're already there and what they invite us to do in these ancient
traditions is to reach into those possibilities with our mind this is the
power of the mind in isolate we lock in one of those possibilities so now we
have taken it and identified it however to bring it into this world to breathe
life into that possibility is the power of human emotion our love for that
possibility or our fear of that possibility the one will work to bring
that quantum possibility into the particle reality of our everyday lives
we don't have to know that sounds very technical we just have a feeling but
this is the science of appears to be the science of how these things are working
so this is why our self-esteem is so important when we feel when my engineer
friend felt that why would anybody want to be with me as was what he said to me
the affirmation for him was an empty affirmation it was a thought that had no
energy to invite it into this world and and an example of just the opposite of
that is I know of other people who have simply made a list of all of the
attributes of a perfect partner in life because this is what many people I'm
using as example it works in healing it works in peace but we're talking about
relationships they make a list of all those attributes and then then they come
from the place that that relationship is already how
what what is their life like how is their life different now that that
perfect partner is there how is their evening different how do they spend
their time differently how they feel when they wake up in the morning and
share their lives with someone and it's those feelings that they live throughout
the day it's not something you sit down and do for a minute then you get up and
walk away rather it's something that we become we live our lives as if these
experiences have already happened in that way we invite them into our lives
and they happen frightening ly quickly for some people it's amazing I know
people that haven't finished their list and they go out for lunch or a cup of
coffee while they're making the list and the person that just brought in their
lunch is the person that's on that list and they fall in love and they're
married they're married 20 years later I know people that's happened to so it's
about clarity it's about specificity it's about being
personal being very clear that these are personal desires scientifically it
appears that this field the divine matrix it is a mirror and a bridge
between our inner and our outer worlds and it can only give us what we give it
to work with and the interesting thing is that we have been conditioned to feel
the feelings of the things that we don't want in life and that we're afraid of we
wake up in the morning and we see the six o'clock news and all the things to
be afraid of and then we go through our day saying oh I hope I'm not going to
see that today or I hope it's not around the corner and in my question so fast me
where do we learn to feel the things that we don't want rather than things
that we choose to have and how would our lives be different if we if we can cut
through all of all of the of the static and simply choose in our lives what we
would like each moment of each day or our relationships or our abundance or
our careers or the peace in our families to look like what would our what would
our lives look like if we can do that and there's very good very good
scientific evidence showing precisely what our lives would look like because
because we would very quickly experience everything that we've created
as a scientist one of the first things I had to understand and again my training
I was trained in the hard sciences and there was no allowance for any inner
experience to have have an effect on our outer world to begin with number two I
was raised in a relatively conservative community in the Midwest I was born in
Missouri Kansas City Missouri excuse me in that part of the world when you talk
about emotions they kind of get lumped into this nebulous experience are your
thoughts feelings emotions are all the same thing we really don't talk about
them much and by the way as a male we don't want to see much of yours so that
was that was my upbringing so I began to understand when we go into the other
cultures and I am referring again and again to this wisdom we had this wisdom
in Western cultures that was lost in the fourth century about 1700 years ago was
edited right out of our most cherished spiritual religious traditions the
biblical edits of the fourth century it was not edited from the other cultures
that we have visited and that's the value of going into these cultures and
they identify three separate yet related experiences that we all have in our
bodies and they literally call them thought feeling and emotion and here's
the difference the thinking they identify with the three upper energy
centers of the body the Sanskrit traditions have a seven energy center
seven chakra system that they work with and they say the upper three are related
what we call thought or logic processes so when we think about something we
picture it in our mind that perfect relationship or peace between nations
but we can only invite it into our lives when we breathe the power of emotion
into that thought the emotion comes from the lower three or those creative
centers in our bodies so when we breathe the power of emotion there I thought we
imbue that thought with life and those two energies meet in the one center that
is not accounted for yet and our model it's in our heart or what sign is called
the seven layered liquid crystal oscillator in the center of our chest
but we'll just call it our heart because that's what it does our heart is
creating electrical and magnetic waves that are influencing the world around
based on what we think and the emotion that we breathe into those thoughts to
create the feeling so now we've just defined feeling feeling by definition
from the Sanskrit tradition is the union of thought and emotion it creates the
feeling and what makes us really interesting is that those traditions say
we are capable of only two primary emotions love and whatever we feel the
opposite of love is and when you get really deep into the teachings there are
two aspects of the same thing but what they say is we have our thought we are
either breathing the love of that thought or our fear of that thought to
create the feeling in the feeling then becomes sadness or joy or compassion or
anger those are not emotions those are feelings now for some people they say
well you know it's it's an you're nitpicking what difference could it make
and these are the subtle differences between these these ancient ways of
viewing this inner technology it's literally a technology because we could
have the same thought or the same affirmation and imbue it with a
different emotion and have completely different feelings and create a
different a different outcome and this is the great secret that was edited out
of our Christian and pre-christian judeo-christian traditions when 45 books
removed in the fourth century 20 were taken out completely another 25 were
condensed and rearranged and we know this because we found the information
now in the Dead Sea Scrolls the naga hamadi library the Coptic the Gnostic
texts so we know what those texts would have said if we had had them but the
interesting thing is without those texts we we tend to rely upon the written word
the validation to feel that power in our bodies I think every one senses or
suspects there's an untapped potential in the human body been on every
continent of the earth and I've asked every every audience I've ever been in
do you feel that that's there and they say yes we feel there's something there
but but we just can't quite get it why is that so we have a feeling that
there's more to us but we rely on a written validation in a 5,000 year old
text or a scientific study to tell us that it's true and this is I think the
value of going into those texts as we get to see the words that literally say
in the Gospel of Thomas the Lost Gospel of Thomas it literally says when these
two become one when thought any motion become one then you'll say to the
mountain move in the mountain will move and I used to think that that was a
metaphor and I now have seen enough to know that moving a cancerous tumor
inside the body of a living woman that's moving a mountain to me and and it's all
done from marrying thought and emotion together 1998 I had my my first journey
into the highlands of central China and Tibet and it was during that time we
were given a personal audience with an abbot who was an elderly leader of a
particular sect in the monastery in this Abbot pass just a couple of years ago so
I'm glad that we spoke with him when we did and it was this man I asked the
question that I asked every monk every nun I asked the shaman in Peru and
Bolivia that I had the clearest response from this man and I asked him a question
I said when we see your prayers on the outside and we see you in the in the
chanting hall for 12 16 18 hours a day and we see the bells and the bowls and
the moochers and the mantras and the gongs and the chimes in the incense when
we see her prayers on the outside I said what are you doing on the inside and
this was the man who looked at me and said you've never seen our prayers
because a prayer cannot be seen he said what you see are the things we do to
create the feeling in our body and the feeling is the prayer and then he turned
the question on me and he said how do you do this in your culture through a
translator and I began to think about this and realize that when we lost the
words in our most cherished spiritual traditions that tell us that feeling is
a language that speaks to our bodies in this world and we lost the words that
vowed that we began to think that the words themselves
or the prayers and if we say or the affirmations and if we say those words
the right number of times the right time of day or the right time of year that
we've set our prayer or our affirmation and then if it doesn't work we get
frustrated and we say well my prayer didn't work or my affirmations not
working for me because we lost the link with feeling in the motion when I was in
the monasteries in Tibet and the abbot had passed a new abbot
took his place who was already in his mid-80s he's the new young abbot he's
already in his mid-80s and I asked him the question this was in 2005 we just
went back and I asked him a question and I said I said what is the force in your
tradition in your belief system what is the force it connects the universe
what's the force that holds everything together and through the translator he
answered me with one word and I thought I heard it incorrectly I said would you
do that again and he came back and he answered me with one word and he said
compassionate and I said well wait a minute
I says compassion a force that holds everything together or is it a feeling
that we experience in our bodies and he said yes and that was very powerful for
me to understand that because it says that we have the ability to feel in our
bodies the stuff that holds this universe together and we're really not
so different from those quantum particles and the stars beyond us or in
the tumor that's in front of us in the suffering of our loved ones or in the
peace between the nations it's all part of the same thing the challenge is to
make it more than an intellectual exercise how do we know were part of all
that is one of the ways that helped me come to that realization there was an
experiment that was done in 1997 in Geneva Switzerland made world headlines
3,500 reporters from the science journals were there they documented this
experiment and it didn't didn't make the cover of Time magazine or USA Today
although I think it should have and what the experiment showed the bottom line
was that when you take the stuff our world is made of a particle of matter
one particle and even if you split that particle and send each portion to
different locations which is what this experiment did they had they split one
particle of matter and sent one particle seven miles this direction the other
seven miles that direction there were 14 miles apart and even though they were
separated physically they were still connected energetically so that one one
particle had an experience they would disturb one particle the other one acted
like it was having the experi and sometimes the other one would act
like it was having the experience before the scientists even disturbed the first
particle and it's mind boggling I said well well how can this be but what this
tells us is that once matter is physically joined even when it becomes
separated still there that's connecting it and this is why it's important to me
because we go back far enough in time all the particles a matter of this
entire universe that are expanding were all meshed together in a single particle
about the size of a green pea is what scientists tell us today is what the
computer model suggests if you could go into the universe today and take all the
particles of matter and take out all the space in between and bring it together
and compress it into a size of a single green pea it means that you and me and
every one of our listeners we were all once part of that same particle that
creates this whole universe today and even though those particles are now
separate and expanding and and the studies show that they are energetically
we're all still linked when we lost the information telling us we're a part of
all that we see we found ourselves in a very technological path without the
wisdom of us being in the equation so we thought that's the world out there and
that we're separate from that world now what's happened is our technology has
come so far that our very existence is threatened by the technology that we
have developed whether it's the wars or the viruses or the climate change so so
I believe we've come full circle now to survive our time in history we've got to
write ourselves back into the equation our prayers our affirmations our beliefs
our language and when they're spoken through the language of the heart they
have a direct powerful and immediate impact on our bodies in the world around
us and it invites us to be very very aware of what it is that we truly hold
in our hearts as the truth of our world because we live that in our lives
from the lightest and light to the darkest of the dark the greatest fears
and the greatest joints what we're beginning to understand is that human
emotion and feeling and belief is literally a language it's a nonverbal
language that this field recognizes and understands and the field works in what
we call real time it doesn't know about a few minutes from now so if you say if
you say in your affirmation 20 minutes from now I'd like for my perfect mate to
manifest for me now it doesn't know about 20 minutes from now it is a
real-time application and this is why the the key and this is what the
ancients say and this is what the monks and the nuns tell us real time today
they say to be very specific about what it is that we're choosing to have in our
lives because what we're doing and it helps if we understand this what we're
doing is in the world of quantum possibility in the soup the nebulous
soup of all possibilities what we're doing is we're isolating we're locking
one in the place that we're not specific about what that possibility is then how
can the field be specific about what it is that the gifts to us whatever it
takes to get us to the point where we can transcend the limits the laws of
physics and biology as we've known them in the past we have a power within us
that transcends those laws that were more than our mistakes that were more
than the suffering were more than the limits that we believed in the past and
that is where I say wow that really inspires me
