1196 01:27:24,405 --> 01:27:27,738 although I have no idea how to define God... 1197 01:27:27,842 --> 01:27:30,242 to see God as a person or a thing. 1198 01:27:30,345 --> 01:27:32,939 I can't-- I can't seem to do it. 1199 01:27:33,047 --> 01:27:38,679 It's kind of like asking a human being to explain what God is... 1200 01:27:38,786 --> 01:27:44,452 is similar to asking a fish to explain the water in which the fish swims. 1201 01:27:44,559 --> 01:27:50,259 God is a superposition of all the spirit from all things. 1202 01:27:51,766 --> 01:27:54,428 [ Woman ] You are a God in the making...

01:28:15,223 --> 01:28:17,350 but what I do to my mind. 1209 01:28:25,733 --> 01:28:29,533 [ Man ] So if we're consciously designing our destiny... 1210 01:28:29,637 --> 01:28:32,697 and if we're consciously, from a spiritual standpoint... 1211 01:28:32,807 --> 01:28:34,775 throwing in with the idea... 1212 01:28:34,876 --> 01:28:39,176 that our thoughts can affect our reality or affect our life... 1213 01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,646 'cause reality equals life... 1214 01:28:41,749 --> 01:28:46,618 then I have this little pact that I have when I create my day. 1215 01:28:46,721 --> 01:28:49,815 I say, ''I'm taking this time to create my day... 1216 01:28:49,924 --> 01:28:53,917 ''and I'm infecting the quantum field. 1217 01:28:54,028 --> 01:28:59,898 ''Now, if in fact the

from you.'' 1224 01:29:50,451 --> 01:29:53,011 So the brain is capable of millions of different things... 1225 01:29:53,121 --> 01:29:56,386 that people just really should learn... 1226 01:29:56,491 --> 01:29:59,756 how incredible they actually are and how incredible their minds actually are... 1227 01:29:59,861 --> 01:30:03,058 and that not only do they have this unbelievable thing within their head... 1228 01:30:03,164 --> 01:30:07,066 that can do so many things for them and can help us learn and can actually change and adapt... 1229 01:30:07,168 --> 01:30:09,728 it can make us something better than what we actually are... 1230 01:30:09,837 --> 01:30:12,328 and it can actually help us to transcend ourselves-- 1231 01:30:12,440 --> 01:30:15,000 There may be some way that it can actually take us... 1232 01:30:15,109 --> 01:30:17,373 to a higher level of our existence... 1233 01:30:17,478 --> 01:30:20,504 where we can actually understand the world in a deeper way... 1234 01:30:20,615 --> 01:30:24,210 where we can understand our relationship to things and people in a deeper way... 1235 01:30:24,318 --> 01:30:27,287 and we can ultimately make more meaning for ourselves in our world. 1236 01:30:27,388 --> 01:30:30,084 We can show that there's a spiritual part of our brain... 1237 01:30:30,191 --> 01:30:34,355 but it's a part that we all can have access to and it's something that we can all do. 1238 01:30:45,573 --> 01:30:48,406 [ Man ] We have to formulate what we want... 1239 01:30:48,509 --> 01:30:52,070 and be so concentrated on it and so focused on it... 1240 01:30:52,180 --> 01:30:54,546 and have so much of our awareness of it... 1241 01:30:54,649 --> 01:30:57,584 that we lose track of ourselves. 1242 01:30:57,685 --> 01:30:59,653 We lose track of time. 1243 01:30:59,754 --> 01:31:01,881 We lose track of our identity. 1244 01:31:01,989 --> 01:31:05,948 And the moment we become so involved in that experience... 1245 01:31:06,060 --> 01:31:10,292 that we lose track of ourselves, we lose track of time... 1246 01:31:10,398 --> 01:31:13,526 that picture is the only picture that's real. 1247 01:31:13,634 --> 01:31:16,262 And everybody's had that experience... 1248 01:31:16,370 --> 01:31:18,998 when they've made up their mind that they've wanted something. 1249 01:31:19,106 --> 01:31:21,074 That's quantum physics in action. 1250 01:31:21,175
