The Living Matrix (2009) - full transcript

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> Five-year-old Demitrios
was born with cerebral palsy.

There is no medical
cure for this condition.

>> [SPEAKING GREEK]

>> When Demitrios was born, the
doctors told us he might never

be able to walk,
never be independent,

that he would have, since
this was a chronic disease,

certain damage to his health
that he might never recover

from.

We had not tried
any alternative.

Personally, I trusted nothing
but the standard approaches.



Until some people we trusted,
because we knew them well,

told us about Eric.

>> We think of healing as
getting up out of wheelchairs,

vision returning,
hearing returning,

cancers disappearing,
all sorts of things.

And these things happen.

They happen.

>> [SPEAKING GREEK]

>> The idea initially was just
to attend a seminar that might

show us some ways to help
Demitrios as a family.

>> This little boy's
parents came up and said,

will I do a healing session
after a presentation that I

gave?

And I said, well,
they're closing the room,



but let me finish
signing these books,

and we'll get them to keep the
room open for just a little

bit longer.

What's wrong?

And they explained he
had cerebral palsy.

>> [SPEAKING GREEK]

>> After the seminar
was completed,

they met for the first time,
just for a short while,

about 10 or 15 minutes.

>> There's something in cerebral
palsy that's very common,

where your feet, instead of
your feet being able to be flat

on the ground, the heel was up.

So his heel would not be
able to touch the ground.

He was scheduled for
surgery for that.

He had to wear
supports and braces.

For him to be able
to get up, he'd

have to hold on to furniture
or people's clothing.

For him to be able to go
down any steps at all,

he'd have to sit
down on the steps

and push himself down
a step at a time.

And to go up, he'd have to
crawl on his hands and knees.

>> [SPEAKING GREEK]

>> We stepped on the
stage with Demitrios,

put him on the bed
that was there,

and told him that he should stay
calm and collaborate with Eric,

and that nothing would
happen that might bother him.

>> [SPEAKING GREEK]

>> It was strange for us to
think that this man was trying

to heal him using his hands, and
yet without actually touching

him.

>> He got up after four minutes,
and was not just walking.

He was jumping and
he was running.

>> [SPEAKING GREEK]

>> It was a huge surprise,
and a great joy for us.

But at the same time,
we were left wondering,

how does this all work so
fast, so directly, and so

effectively?

He was walking properly,
not standing on his tiptoes,

and there was no need
for anyone to help

him climb the stairs, which
was what usually happened.

Other children would
naturally walk up and down

the stairs every
day, but Demitrios

was unable to do this.

So accomplishing such things
is very important for him.

>> They brought him back
down for another session.

He had one hand that was closed.

I didn't know.

He looked at me-- in Greek--

but he said, look.

I can open my hand.

He was just five.

He said, it doesn't
hurt anymore.

He said, look.

I can hold a glass
and drink by myself.

>> Now his fist is open.

It is relaxed and cooperates
with the left hand much better,

which is very helpful.

It's not closed into a fist,
which bothered him a lot.

And when he wants
to give us a hug,

he used to do it
with only one hand.

Now he gives a full
hug and says, you see?

I can do it.

I'm a big boy now.

Of course, his hand isn't
fully functional yet,

but together with the left
hand, it works somehow,

and he doesn't reject it.

>> Perhaps the most fascinating
aspect of Reconnective Healing

is that it can be learned.

>> [SPEAKING GREEK]

>> Now I didn't believe that
this was something one can

learn.

I thought it was something
only Eric was capable of doing.

I didn't think I could acquire
these skills too and help

you, my neighbor, my friend.

But in the course
of the program,

right away, we saw for ourselves
that, yes, you can indeed

learn to help others.

If you see the living example
standing in front of your eyes

as we see our own child,
then I think that, yes,

you believe it.

>> There are amazing healings
taking place all the time,

yet traditional allopathic
medicine has no model

or explanation for how
these healings can occur.

>> We don't understand how it
is that even the simplest thing

like the healing from a wound
that is so mundane that every

child has experienced it, we
don't have a full understanding

of how that occurs.

>> The answers may lie in the
fundamental shift which is

occurring in our
understanding of our universe.

>> Virtually every ancient
culture and every native

culture has thought of
the universe as a unity,

as a circle, and man as
being central to that.

And it was only
with the discoveries

of Isaac Newton
and Rene Descartes

that ripped us out of the
fabric of our universe

and created this
clockwork model where

mind is separate from
body, and that we

are separate from each other.

And that idea of separation
is the foundation

of Western thinking.

Now Newton described a
very well-behaved universe

of separate things
operating in space and time,

according to fixed laws.

The idea of the body
as machine, the body

as this well-behaved
machine with the two

engines of the body being
the brain and the heart,

and the whole central orchestra
being conducted by DNA.

That's the model we have.

And we think of
various processes

being localized in
certain parts of the body.

What's wrong with that
is just about everything.

Body is completely
decentralized.

There is no central
brain, in a sense.

And that the brain is closer
to an antenna receiver.

It's closer to a transducer
of information, a receiver

and a transmitter
of information,

but not the central repository
of that information.

>> In our conventional world
of biochemistry and cellular

biology, we focus on a Newtonian
belief of a material world.

Through the history
of science, we've

focused on the
mechanical reality,

and have let go of the
concept of energy and fields

as information in biology.

That's the Newtonian perspective
that says, focus on the matter.

Don't pay attention to
the rest of the stuff.

Except that we're
now recognizing

that the mind, which is an
energetic field of thought,

which you can read with
EEG wires on your brain,

or even more interesting
is a new process called

magnetoencephalograph,
called MEG--

well, electroencephalograph,
you put wires on the skin

and read brain activity,
magnetoencephalograph

is a probe outside of the head.

And it reads the fields
of neural activity

without even touching the body.

So it basically says
that when you're

processing with your brain,
you're broadcasting fields.

>> 1875 to 1920 was
this enormous growth

of biochemistry.

And it was then thought that
chemistry is probably--you

know--

we're a chemical machine.

The answer is to put the
right chemical in the body,

and you'll get better.

To a point, that's correct.

But it doesn't appear to be
correct for chronic disease.

It's correct in the short term.

There was a major
intellectual split going on

at the time in physics,
because the old Newtonian

world, the clockwork
universe, was going strong.

And a few crackpots
in Denmark, Germany,

and to a lesser extent, England,
developed quantum physics

and said that it doesn't work
the way you said it works.

It doesn't happen like that.

And there were huge
anomalies found in physics

that could not be explained.

And the upshot of this
was that the old idea

of a mechanical universe,
where everything

happens for a specific reason in
its own way, had to be dropped.

>> Quantum physics changed our
perception of reality over 80

years ago.

Surprisingly, this
new viewpoint has yet

to be incorporated into
our current biology model.

>> The main problem with the
current biological model is

that it's reductionist
and mechanistic.

That means first, it tries
to explain everything

in terms of little bits.

Generally, molecules,
because they're

the smallest things
in organisms.

And secondly, it tries
to treat the organism

as a machine that
works simply in terms

of physics and chemistry.

>> Chemical reaction in the
body is supposed to be central,

and the main reason it occurs,
according to current theory,

is through molecular collision.

So that one molecule
collides into another,

and that's how they
have this information,

and how we have a cascade
of chemical processes.

Now if you think
of the usual cell,

a cell is like a swimming
pool, and molecules

are like a couple of tennis
balls in that swimming pool.

And according to this
theory, one tennis ball

is supposed to
find another tennis

ball in this vast body of water,
and do so instantaneously.

And that is supposed to
account for all the millions

of instantaneous activities
that occur in our body

at every second.

And that's ludicrous.

>> The existing control system
of modern medicine is enzymes,

hormones.

Not consciousness, not
emotions, not body field.

All that is there as
your control system

is enzymes and hormones.

And we find this a bit
inadequate to explain

the whole majesty of human
behavior and sickness,

and the whole darned thing.

It's impossible.

>> We look to science as
some sort of absolute truth,

and a story that's
already been written.

But the reality
is that science is

a story told in installments,
and every new chapter

oftentimes refines or completely
changes what has come before.

>> There's an intellectual
pendulum swing,

and it's swinging towards the
idea of holism and looking

at how an entire
system works together.

Whereas you say,
the doctors began

to look at how each
individual cell worked,

and they got down to
the cellular level.

That's all been
done for 100 years.

Great.

We understand it a lot.

But we don't understand how
the cells talk to each other

and how they deal
with information.

>> Today's medicine is all based
on a Newtonian paradigm where

they haven't taken into account
the implications of quantum

physics.

But once we start looking at a
different model of how matter

actually exists, it enables
the concepts of a body field

and how information and energy
can actually control biology.

And that has huge implications.

>> When I was 15 years old, I
had a very serious motorcycle

accident.

I was on a motorcycle I
shouldn't have been on,

and we were hit by
a car that caused

a very serious wound in my leg.

Ended up with 66 stitches.

At the point of
impact, I clearly

remember having an
out-of-body experience

where my consciousness
watched my body tumbling

through the air and
ultimately landing.

And it was sort
of shocking to me

when I kind of came
back into the body.

That said to me that perhaps
my consciousness isn't just

in my brain, but
that it is imbued

with more quality than that.

And then as I was facing
a very serious outcome,

they talked about
the possibility

of having to amputate
part of my leg.

I remember laying with a cast
from my hip down to my ankle,

and thinking about how
to rally my immune system

through my thoughts, such
that I could promote healing

in my leg.

And so I would lay on
the couch, and I would

visualize my immune system.

And I could feel it tingling.

I could feel the healing
happening in my leg.

And I didn't come
from a medical family.

I have no idea at all
where this idea came from.

But somehow, it was noetic.

It came directly to me, that
that was what I needed to do.

And ultimately, they
took the cast off,

and I'm a two-legged creature
still, thank goodness.

And so I think that
there was something

about my own personal
experience with that healing,

that there was something about
recognizing that my mind was

important to my body, and my
body was important to my mind,

that I just knew intuitively.

>> Mind, intention, belief.

Can these factors
influence healing?

>> If you think you have
an incurable disease,

if you think it
yourself, you are right.

If you think your
problem is curable,

then you are also right.

It all depends on
your intention.

>> When you think about
intention, what is intention?

And how does intention
play a role in healing?

Intention plays a
role when you think

about how our thoughts and our
emotions and our cognitions

influence our immune system
and our endocrine system.

And we know that this happens.

We know that people who feel
a tremendous amount of stress,

for example, have a
diminished capacity

in terms of their immune
systems functioning.

It's been discovered in the
laboratory over the last 15

or 20 years, for
example, that intention

does have physical effects.

>> So for example, we recently
conducted a study where we

recruited couples, one
of whom had cancer.

And we took the partner
of the cancer patient,

and we trained them
in what we call

the compassionate
intention program.

And so they were invited
in to participate

in a training program.

A lot of it had to
do with meditation.

It had to do with heart opening.

It had to do with
subtle energies.

And we took them through
this training program,

and then we asked them
to go home and continue

to practice this
intervention for eight weeks.

We brought them back and we
put them in our laboratory.

And we monitored the
patient in one room,

and we put them in a 2,000-pound
electromagnetically shielded

room so that there was no
possibility of electromagnetic

fields or the partner of the
cancer patient talking to them

on the radio or on their
cell phone and saying, OK.

Breathe deeply now.

We could rule out
any of those kind

of conventional explanations.

Meanwhile, the partner who'd
gone through the training

program sat in another
room and watched

the image of their loved one
on a closed circuit television

screen.

And then at random times
throughout the session,

they were asked to send
loving, compassionate intention

to the patient.

The idea was to see if we
could find correlations

between the intention
of the one person

and the physiological
activity of the other.

What we found is that there
was a significant correlation

in the physiological
activity of this person

and the physiological
activity of the other.

This suggests that there is
some way in which information

is transferred that
isn't accountable

by the conventional Newtonian
model of cause and effect.

You know, the partner
of the cancer patient

wasn't coming in and whispering
in their partner's ear,

calm down now.

Quite the contrary.

They were at a distance,
and there was no way

that the two people knew
when this kind of interaction

was happening, and
yet it happened.

>> Sending an intention
that I am better,

sending information with
belief that I am better,

is sending information to
the body to correct itself.

Because as we say, a thought is
an actual, physical energy too,

and it sends information
to the body as well.

>> It's been very well
demonstrated that our belief

system affects how we
behave and how we perform,

and it also affects
our lifestyle.

So if we don't believe
that we can help ourselves,

we probably could not.

If we don't believe that
positive information is

useful to our health
and well-being,

then it probably won't be.

>> Our thoughts create
our body moment by moment.

When we think positive thoughts,
we release certain chemicals

into our body.

When we think negative thoughts,
we release negative chemicals

into our body.

And those have a profound effect
on how the cells are behaving,

and how the nutrition
is being used.

It's very obvious to me,
working as an osteopath,

that the stress that
people hold in their body

has various patterns according
to how they're thinking.

>> Probably the most essential
aspect of healing is to believe

in the modality you're using,
and to stay positive in some

way.

There's so much evidence about
belief in a system of medicine

being crucial to the
effectiveness of that.

I used to say to
people who have cancer,

after researching the
limitations of things

like chemotherapy,
don't have chemotherapy.

It only works 9% of the time.

I don't do that anymore.

And the reason I don't is that
I believe that belief itself

is the body's
strongest medicine,

and if you believe
something is going

to work, regardless of what that
is, it's going to work for you.

There was a study in Houston
of some patients going

through a knee
operation for arthritis.

Half actually went
through an operation

where they were worked
on for their arthritis.

The other half were
given a sham operation

where they just opened the
knee, and then closed it

and did nothing.

They found over three
years of follow-up

that both sets of patients
reported having no pain.

So the patients where
nothing was done to them

still reported being pain-free.

Their arthritis was gone.

There have been
other studies looking

at if there's any difference
between going to the gym

and thinking about
going to the gym.

And with this study, they
took a group of people,

and they sent half to the
gym to work on their biceps,

and the other half were allowed
to sit in their armchairs

and just think about
going to the gym

and working on their biceps.

And they still recorded
a very strong effect

in the group who had just
sat in their armchairs.

The couch potatoes still
built up their biceps.

So the body really can't
distinguish between action

and thought.

And you see this most clearly
with the placebo effect.

>> Traditional Western
medicine typically attributes

spontaneous or miraculous
healing to placebo.

But what exactly is
the placebo effect?

>> The placebo effect is
the fact that a belief that

a person has can
override their biology.

Well, it's so
profoundly important

that science has recognized
that at least one third

of all healings, including
drugs and surgery

and other allopathic
interventions, one

third of all healings has
nothing to do with the process,

but has to do with
the placebo effect.

That a person believes that the
process is going to heal them,

and heals themselves in
spite of the fact that maybe

the pill was a sugar
pill, or the operation

was just a sham and wasn't real.

And why this becomes
important is clearly,

one third of all healings
occurs without anybody

doing anything other than
having a positive thought.

And what interests
me as a biologist

and former professor
in a medical school

is how we can talk about
the placebo effect for about

15 minutes in a
pharmacology course,

and then totally ignore
the relevance of thought

and mental processes
on biology for the rest

of medical education.

So that our doctors are not
really using the placebo effect

effectively, that we're not even
studying the placebo effect.

And right now, we could
cut the health care cost

by exactly one third by just
using the placebo effect.

>> It seems time that we began
to shift the lens and start

really focusing on, what is
the nature of the placebo?

How is it that you can take
an inert substance, something

that has no known
medicinal capacity--

you know, potential--
and that inert substance

not only can create
physiological changes

in the body, but
actually somehow

is able to manage a whole
cascade of responses

within a very
complex system, such

that it can target the liver
or the kidney or the lungs,

you know?

That is a great mystery, and
we don't understand that,

and much more needs to be done.

>> The placebo effect is really
another way of talking about

the body's
self-healing capacity.

And anything that
unleashes more of that

is going to be a better system.

>> I was absolutely
desperate to have children.

It was one of the reasons
why I'd gotten divorced.

I wanted children,
and my husband didn't.

So I moved to London,
thinking it would take me

a maximum of two years to
find myself a new partner

and settle down, and I'd
be out in the country,

having my 2.5 children,
and I'd be totally happy.

That was my plan.

I was very good at making plans.

So there I was.

I had my osteopathic practice.

I was seeing clients.

And I was stressed,
frustrated, depressed.

And I had been having
headaches for years.

Maybe 10 years, I'd been having
these terrible headaches, which

were getting worse
and worse and worse.

Sometimes they lasted
as long as five days.

I had a routine
visit with my doctor,

and the doctor found
that my hormone level was

very much out of balance,
and I immediately

suspected that I had a tumor.

So I was sent for a
brain scan, and they

diagnosed a prolactinoma.

It was a huge shock.

Huge shock.

Out of the blue.

And I felt at first, how unfair.

I went off to the
medical library

and started to learn everything
I could about this tumor.

And when I discovered that it
caused infertility, I thought,

that is so ironic.

Every cell in my body was
saying, I want children,

and I had somehow
created a tumor that

stopped me having children.

There had to be some
reason for this.

There had to be--

this was too much of a
coincidence, I thought.

And I got very curious.

Because of my alternative
medicine background,

I decided to treat it
alternatively rather than

go for the orthodox
drugs or surgery.

>> Ariel decided to utilize
neurolinguistic programming,

or NLP, to approach her tumor.

>> So then I got into doing
NLP at a much deeper level.

Got through the master
practitioner level,

came home, and was
totally inspired

as to what I could actually do.

I started to really understand
what NLP was all about.

>> NLP is a practical
form of psychology,

which starts from where you are
now and looks at where you want

to be, and uncovers
what's in the way.

>> If you have, like
my five-day headaches,

and you'd like to be without
a tumor in your end state,

the journey to get from square
one to the end square is what

we actually start
exploring with NLP.

>> Ariel made some very
interesting discoveries she

began working with NLP.

>> Now remember, I was the
person who thought every cell

in her body wanted children.

And what I discovered was that
deep down, that going back

to early, early,
early childhood,

I had such an abhorrence of
what my family had been like

that the last thing in
the world part of me

wanted was to be a mother.

And this really,
really shocked me.

I thought I wanted one
thing, and in fact,

an unconscious part of me was
going in a completely different

direction.

And when I understood
the reasons

why it didn't want children
and what it was based on,

I was able to kind
of let go of that,

and allow it to be the way it
was, and at least understand

why I'd created a life that
didn't go down that path.

One day, I heard myself
shouting inside my head.

It was like this little voice
saying, I'm so sick of this.

I just want to be rid
of this whole nightmare.

I want to be rid of this tumor.

And I stopped in
shock as I listened

to this voice inside my head.

And I went, wow.

There's a lot of anger in
there, a lot of frustration.

That's a lot of self-attack.

If I'm attacking my tumor
with all those thoughts

of wanting to get rid
of it, that's murderous.

That can't be healing.

And I had never looked
at healing in that way.

And I realized then that
every thought I'd had

was actually about
making it go away.

Now that's a conflict.

That's a huge inner conflict.

And I decided to look at that
a little bit more closely.

And I thought, well, what
would be the opposite?

It has to be acceptance.

And I thought to myself,
well, what would it

be like if I really
accepted this tumor?

And this was quite
a few years later,

but it was absolutely a
turning point in my healing

when I realized that my tumor
had taken me down a journey I'd

never planned.

It had taught me things I
had never intended to learn.

I had changed my career, I
had changed my whole outlook,

I had learned lots of things
about myself and others.

I had insights I'd
never had before.

I'd met amazing people,
wonderful people

all over the world.

I'd had the support of
people all over the world.

And I realized I liked
myself a lot better.

And so I thought, OK.

I can see that this tumor
hasn't been totally bad.

What if it has a purpose
or a reason for being here?

Because obviously, it's
done a good job so far.

So if it's got a
purpose for being here,

and it's still here, maybe
there's still a purpose.

What would happen if
I gave it permission

to stay for the rest of my life?

It was six months after
I had that realization

and I got to the
point of accepting

the presence of my tumor,
I had my routine blood test

and went to see my specialist.

And to my surprise, my hormone
levels were completely normal.

And when my doctor saw
them, he just went, wow.

That's incredible.

And you know, I thought
it had been a mistake.

I thought maybe the blood test
reading was wrong or something.

I said, well, you know,
so much time has passed,

and I'm older now.

Maybe my hormones have changed.

He said, no, no, no, no.

Can't be that.

He said, this can
only mean one thing.

Your tumor has gone.

And he said, this is
a real credit to you.

I don't know how you've done it.

I don't know what
you've been doing.

But I have to tell you,
I've seen you for 10 years,

and you're not the same
person you were 10 years ago.

You are completely different.

>> So when we make
an emotional shift--

let's say we go from
frustration to joy,

those kind of emotional shifts--

about 1,400 biochemical changes
instantly go off in the body.

Now if you think about
the course of one day, all

the emotions that we feel,
the highs and the lows

and the myriad of
emotional textures

that occur through our
perceptions during a day,

you can see that emotions
are creating lots and lots

of changes in our physiology.

So it makes a lot of sense
to start paying attention

to the emotional diet as
well as to the physical diet.

That's one of the
keys to better health,

and certainly to slowing
down the aging process.

Strong negative emotions
just degenerate us.

Positive emotional
states regenerate us.

It becomes simple math.

Feel more love, more care, more
appreciation, and your health's

got a better chance of
improving and staying that way.

>> One of the most profound
discoveries made really since

the advent of quantum physics
is a thing called the zero-point

field.

And what this is is the
energy exchange that goes on

between subatomic particles.

All subatomic particles engage
in a little energy dance.

It's almost like playing
a game of basketball.

They send energy back
and forth to each other.

And in that exchange,
a thing called

a virtual particle
is created, just for

less than the blink of an eye.

Now that little individual
exchange isn't much energy.

It's about a half
a watt's worth.

But when you multiply all of
the subatomic particles doing

this energy exchange across
all things in all the universe,

you come up with this
unfathomable amount of energy,

all happening out
there in empty space

like some
super-charged backdrop.

>> While conventional biology
focuses on the material

stimuli, quantum physics reveals
that it's invisible stimuli

that are much more important.

There's a simple quote by Albert
Einstein that makes sense out

of this, and the quote is, "The
Field is the sole governing

agency of the particle."

What Einstein meant
by this very simply

is "the field," the invisible
energy forces around us,

they are the sole
governing agencies

of the particle, or
the particle's matter.

And so quantum physics says,
the character of matter

is ultimately
determined by the field.

>> Healing occurs when
your body is able to access

the information it needs to
be able to operate itself

properly.

>> Walk into any great cathedral
in the United States and Europe

anywhere that's been standing
for hundreds of years or more,

and what you will experience
is in that cathedral is a hush

of awe, reverence, quiet.

And it's a palpable experience.

Why is that true?

It is true because
for hundreds of years,

the people going
into that cathedral

have been on their
best behavior.

They have been in
awe and worshipful,

and in a state of mind that the
quantum emissions from the body

brain are emitted
into that cathedral,

absorbed into that cathedral,
and fed back in later centuries

to the participants
coming into it.

And that's why they feel
the sense of hush, awe,

and reverence.

>> We're all part of
this giant energy field,

this zero-point field,
that we're all connected,

and that we're connected
across the furthest reaches

of the cosmos.

>> When you're
looking at the body,

it consists of over
70 trillion cells,

and somehow all of them
magically know exactly what

to do at exactly the right time.

And this actually cannot
be explained through normal

biochemical messages or even
nervous system impulses,

because the times involved
just simply don't add up.

This is where we
need the human body

field, which is an
information-structured energy

field.

And a way of looking at that,
if we take the normal Einstein

equation of E equals MC squared,
which means energy equals

matter times the speed of
light, what that is saying

is that all matter
is actually energy.

But it's missing one fundamental
thing, and that is actually

that all matter is
information-structured energy,

and that applies to biology too.

So when we're looking
at the body, what is it

that is actually coordinating
everything that's

going around in the body?

It's actually
information and energy.

And therefore, what's
really crucial in how

your body operates is to
look at the information

and energy of the body.

Watch an ice skater.

There are things
that they can do

that are not describable
in terms of nerve impulses.

Nerve impulses and
chemical reactions

are too slow to explain
the subtleties of life.

>> Even now if you look up
the textbooks in psychology,

in medicine, or biology, and
try to find out how the nervous

system works, you're confronted
with the discontinuity

of the system.

>> The nervous system is
comprised of neuron cells that

carry electrical and chemical
impulses throughout the body.

>> If you measure the impulses
of the nervous system,

we get some of them going
at 200 miles an hour,

whereas other of them
going at two miles an hour.

And I think those are the pain
reflexes that are very slow.

How on Earth the brain or
any other part of the body

can coordinate the nervous
system and your very fine

movement when these
impulses are supposed

to be traveling at
many different speeds

is just an impossible problem.

If you're a dancer,
for example, we're

moving in three dimensions,
and you're moving in time.

How on Earth that
person can coordinate

all of these important dance
steps is quite a mystery.

This seems to be impossible
with the contemporary model

of the nervous system.

We need a field
theory to explain

how the nervous system
in all its complexity

can coordinate everything
that happens in the body.

>> We now know when you study
nervous system activity that

the brain can start firing
synchronous pulses throughout

different areas of the brain,
virtually instantaneously.

The significance
of this coherence

of these pulses that begin
to fire when actually

consciousness is functioning
is when scientists

looked at how fast
you could coordinate

all these different areas
that we're focusing on

at the same time, that the
coherence of the firing

was faster than the
physical ability of cells

to communicate from
one area to the other.

So basically, these
results reveal

that the brain is
communicating on a higher level

than through the physical
transmission of nerves.

>> We're understanding that
the brain doesn't have precise

addresses for certain things.

No one's been able to find
where memory is, for instance.

And Karl Pribram did some
amazing studies years ago,

horrible studies where
they taught rats certain

runs, and then began
systematically destroying

the rats' brains.

And they found that no
matter how much of the brain

they removed, the rats might
have terrible motor skills

from that, but they would
still, over and over,

remember the run.

And from that,
Pribram understood

that you couldn't
say that memory

has one precise address, that
it's much more delocalized.

And in fact, most
radically, that memory

might not exist inside the skull
at all, but maybe somewhere out

here in the field.

And so what you have
instead of this localized,

centralized system is
much more of a paradigm

where the body is
an interaction.

It's not something
that ends here.

It's something
that ends out here.

And that we have an interaction
taking place between us

and our environment, us and
the field at every moment.

>> I had an irregularity on
a kidney that was discovered

by an MRI.

The physicians wanted
to operate, biopsy that.

And I said, no.

We're not going to do that.

I had a healer, Adam, a
young man in Vancouver

who was developing his
talents as a healer.

He wanted to work on it.

Over a period of a month,
we did that once a week.

>> Using just a photograph, Adam
can perceive a person's body

field in the form of
a holographic image.

He sees areas where the
energy flow is blocked,

which indicates
illness or injury.

Through his
intention to heal, he

manipulates energy
and information

to clear these blockages,
allowing the body to change.

>> I went back and had a
sonogram made of that a month

after diagnosis.

The radiologist examined
the data and said,

whatever you're
doing, keep doing it,

that the irregularity
in the kidney is smaller

and disappearing.

Went back three months
after that later in 2003

after that, where the
total healing period had

been less than six months,
and again had a sonogram,

and it was totally gone.

Everything was regular again.

Nearly all of the healings
that I have worked with

had been remote
or at a distance.

And it didn't seem to make--

the distance, as it
seems, have no effect

at all, which would again
suggest we're dealing

with a quantum phenomena.

The healer was in
Vancouver, British Columbia.

I was in Florida, the longest
distance across the United

States.

I've continued
then to experiment

with different healing
modes for different things

with different people, but the
mechanism is always the same.

There's information
being transferred,

and there seems to be an
energy transfer as well that's

palpable.

>> It now appears that
our bodies are connected

to the field, but what
is the mechanism for this

intercommunication?

How can this
connection take place?

One possible solution?

The biophoton.

Biophotons are weak
emissions of light

emanating from the cells
of all living things.

>> We know we're sending out
information with biophoton

emissions because people like
Fritz Popp have discovered that

we are sending out
tiny currents of light.

>> We started to look
for these photons.

I knew from the beginning
on that it must not

be very high intensity,
but it was clear

that one should have these
photons at all in a cell.

>> In order to detect
the biophotons,

Professor Popp and his students
needed a photo multiplier that

was so sensitive it could see
a candle over 12 miles away.

When a living organism is
placed in front of the photon

detector, light emitting from
the cells can be observed.

>> We started with
cucumber seedlings,

and later with other ones.

And all living systems which
we put into the instrument

showed this very
weak photon emission.

>> Professor Popp theorizes that
these biophoton emissions may

be controlling our
body's metabolism.

>> Molecules cannot
regulate themselves.

They have to have a
field, more or less.

So the photons
should be the carrier

of the information, which
is necessary to regulate

the metabolism.

>> These biophotons
create a dynamic,

coherent web of light
within our bodies.

Our bodies are
constantly emitting light

in the form of biophotons.

Are these biophotons the
body's control mechanism?

Isn't that the function
of our DNA, our genes?

>> Genes are not
controlling our biology.

When we get issues running
in families-- for example,

cancer--

we immediately look
at a genealogy chart

and mark all the recipients
of this cancer running

through the family, and then
turn around and say, look.

Genetics.

This is running in the family,
so there must be cancer genes.

>> What they've left out of
this very interesting piece

of research reveals that
when children are adopted

into families that have cancer,
the adopted children will

express the cancer with the same
propensity as any natural child

in that family.

But the interesting
fact is the child

comes from totally different
genetics that doesn't even

have that cancer.

So it says, being introduced
into the family dynamics, which

is where you learn perceptions
and beliefs and attitudes,

is what shapes the
cancer, not the genetics

that somebody came in with.

>> There is a new branch of
genetics known as epigenetics

that addresses this
environmental influence

on genetic expression.

>> Epigeneticists have
discovered that the information

inside every cell, the thing
that switches it on and turns

it on and changes things is not
inside the cell, but outside.

Signals occur outside
from the environment.

>> A gene is a blueprint--
that's basically what it is--

to make a protein molecule.

And the proteins-- there
are over 100,000 of them--

are the building
blocks that give us

our biology, our
structure, our behavior.

So the issue is, we talk
about gene blueprints.

And up until the last
10 years, a blueprint

was a hardwired
piece of information

to make a particular protein.

The new science is
just mind boggling,

because it reveals that
through epigenetic mechanisms,

through the influence of
the environment on reading

the genes, epigenetic
mechanisms can produce over

30,000 different variations
from every gene blueprint.

And all of the
sudden, when you start

to recognize that,
you realize, we

have potentials that
are totally unlimited.

And this is a great
change from a belief

that genes were deterministic.

Now genes are potentials.

>> If you just look at
the molecular level,

the Human Genome Project has
revealed that we have about

25,000 genes, far fewer than
they originally expected.

The Chimpanzee Genome
Project has now

sequenced the entire
chimpanzee genome,

and their genome is
virtually the same as ours.

They've got the same
kinds of proteins,

the same kind of genes.

You can hardly tell
the difference.

Yet there's an
obvious difference.

And if you can't explain it in
terms of genes, what can you

explain it in terms of?

And the answer is, I think,
morphogenetic fields.

Just as you can build
two different buildings

with the same bricks
and cement, if you

have two different plans, you
can build different organisms

with different fields, even
if the constituent molecules

are very similar, as they are
in humans and chimpanzees.

>> The DNA is like
a library book.

These are all the possible
proteins from earthworms

right up to us.

it's all the same
library, but you've

got to know which book to
take out of the library.

This is the big
problem in genetics

itself, is trying to
explain how the body knows

which book to take out
of the genetic library.

And we think the
body field is what

decides which piece
of information

is taken from the DNA.

>> Many cultures of the past
have explored the energetic

system of the body.

Today researchers
theorize that the body

does have a field of energy
known as the morphogenic field,

or the body field.

>> There's a hierarchy of
fields organizing our bodies.

There's the field
of the whole body.

There's the fields of
the organs, and then

the fields of the
tissues, and then

the fields of the
cells within those.

Fields of our own body is
within and around the body.

There's an overall field.

And then there's
subsidiary fields,

sort of modular fields for arms,
legs, and the different organs.

The advantage of fields is that
they're intrinsically holistic.

All fields are holistic.

The gravitational field is.

You can't slice a bit out of it.

If you cut a flatworm
into 10 different pieces,

each part can grow
into a new worm.

Now how is that possible?

If it was a machine,
that wouldn't happen.

If you cut up a machine, all
you get is a broken machine.

But if you cut up a magnet,
a field system, then however

many little bits of
magnet you produce,

each has a complete
magnetic field.

And it was this analogy
with magnetic fields

that lead developmental
biologists to suggest

the idea of morphogenetic
fields in the first place,

and this was way
back in the 1920s.

And this field is
now a crucial concept

in developmental biology.

You can't really understand how
organisms develop without it.

>> All humans begin life
as a single cell that grows

and divides, developing into
the various organs and limbs

of our bodies.

How these cells
know what to become

has baffled scientists
and led to the idea

of controlled fields in biology.

>> We've already found that
there are different parts

of the body field, some of
which relate to the muscles

and connective tissue.

There's another part
of the body field

that relates to the
brain and nervous system.

Yet another one for the
morphic field, which connects

back to the DNA and the genetic
information of your body.

So it links up with
medicine in many places,

so it's not different
from medicine.

It's just going a little
bit further conceptually.

>> These energetic fields
may provide the information

necessary for
controlling the body.

>> How does the body know
to maintain its temperature

at a particular temperature?

What decides or
who decides what is

going to be the correct blood
pressure for that person?

Nobody knows.

And we're saying
as a holistic idea,

the body field decides
to turn all the knobs.

>> Informational health care
means that if we take the ideas

of epigenetics, we're actually
able to take the information

from your original blueprint
of how your body works when

it's working perfectly,
imprint that information back

into the body.

And as you do that, the body
starts to correct itself

and goes back towards that
original healthy blueprint.

>> Morphogenetic fields,
or more generally,

fields of information, yes, are
control systems over and above

the molecular level or
the biochemical level.

They're systems that
organize the body.

They organize the
developing organism.

Plants have them too.

All animals have them.

They maintain the
form of the body.

They help bodies to recover
from disease or damage.

They underlie
regeneration, for example.

And I think that we really need
a field-based model of the body

if we're ever going to
be able to integrate

different forms of
healing or medicine

into a coherent understanding.

>> The body field is
an energetic field,

filled with patterns
of information.

All of the organs in
our bodies generate

their own specific fields.

One organ in particular seems
to generate significant fields

which affect the entire body.

>> The heart is the
emperor in the system.

The liver and all the
organs have other tasks,

but the heart is overruling all.

>> There's a concept in
energy medicine called energy

cardiology that says that these
signals produced by the heart

are all of regulatory
importance.

The heart is constantly emitting
sound, pressure waves, heat,

light, electrical, magnetic,
and electromagnetic signals.

>> All of the cells in the body
are receiving these different

kinds of signals
at different times,

because they travel at
different velocities through

the circulatory system.

>> The heart generates by
far the largest rhythmic

electromagnetic
signal in the body.

If you look at this magnetic
field as a carrier wave,

it's being modulated
with information so as

to carry away for information.

And the work in
our lab has shown

quite clearly that
it's modulated

with emotional patterns.

In other words, if we're feeling
angry or frustrated, irritated,

the information
that's been imprinted

on that magnetic field
is very different

than if we're feeling
care or love or compassion

towards that person.

>> The heart has been found to
have rhythmic beating patterns

that can be incoherent
or coherent.

These patterns are closely
linked to our emotions

and how we feel.

>> When the heart's rhythmic
beating pattern is smooth

and ordered, it's called
a coherent rhythm.

And that coherent rhythm
entrains or synchronizes

the brain rhythm,
the nervous system.

The bodily organs and
glands all dance in harmony

to that heart coherent rhythm.

>> Positive emotions, what
we tend to call positive--

things like love, appreciation,
care, forgiveness, gratitude--

all lead to a very different
kind of heart pattern

than negative things.

Like if we're feeling anger
or irritation, anxiety,

those create what are
called incoherent rhythms

or disordered patterns.

On the other hand, we
have the positive feelings

when we're just appreciating the
sunset and how beautiful it is.

Our hearts beating out this--
what we call a coherent rhythm.

It's a sign wave-like
pattern that the heart

is sending to the brain.

>> And we call it heart
coherence, because in research,

we find that the heart has to
get into this synchronized,

coherent, rhythmic pattern
of heart rate in order

for the rest of the brain and
the nervous system and body

to entrain and synchronize
to that powerful rhythm.

So it starts with the heart.

>> When we feel the pulse, what
we're feeling is the pressure

wave created by
the beating heart.

It's not actually
the flow of blood.

It's the pressure wave.

So every time the heart
beats, that pressure wave

goes to the brain and
throughout the body.

And if we look at
the brain level,

that pressure wave
synchronizes all the neurons.

Like, the brain
would be in trouble

if it didn't have that
synchronizing signal

to kind of give us a global
synchronizing effect.

>> When someone is in coherence,
you can often feel their love

or their compassion or
their gratitude radiating.

>> Coherence is the optimal
physiological state that

underlies learning and
performance and facilitating

the body's natural
regenerative processes.

>> The heart has its own
intrinsic nervous system,

which can sense, feel, remember,
and process information

that's independent
from the brain.

>> We always think of the
information input system

as being entirely in the brain.

But we're now
discovering information

that the heart receives
information first, and then

relays it to the brain.

>> Studies have shown that
the heart responds faster than

the brain to
outside stimulation.

>> One of the more recent
studies we did in our labs was

looking at what we ended up
titling the electrophysiology

of intuition.

And there was some previous
research that had been done,

showing that the
body would respond

in a way that would
predict a future event

if the future event
was emotionally

significant and
relevant to the person.

>> Participants were
attached to sensors to record

their brainwave
activity, heart activity,

and heart-brain interactions.

>> A person would be standing
at a computer, push a button,

and then we're recording
physiological data.

And six to eight
seconds later, you

would be shown a photograph.

And then the photograph would
be from two opposite ends

of the spectrum of
emotional arousal.

>> Participants were shown
pictures of car accident

victims, snakes attacking,
and other disturbing images.

On the other end
of the spectrum,

the pictures included
flowers or sunsets.

The photographs were
randomly assigned for display

to the participants.

>> What's key here is the
computer assigned not only

which photograph, but which type
of photograph after the data

was already recorded.

So it was absolutely impossible
for the research subject,

the experimenter to have
any kind of fore knowledge

of what photograph it might be.

The computer itself
didn't even know.

>> The results were surprising.

The body responded even before
the picture was displayed.

>> What we found was that
not only did the body indeed

respond prior to the event--

you know, seeing the picture in
a way that would predict it--

but it was the heart
that responded first.

>> The heart's response
was not only faster,

but the signal it is sent to
the brain varied depending

on the emotional
content of the picture.

>> Looking at the signals
that the heart was sending

to the brain, that the heart
literally sent a different

message to the brain depending
on what the future picture was

going to be, then you saw a
brain response and you saw

the body response, which is
where it then became conscious.

So the flow of this
intuitive information

is heart, brain, body.

Then you have to have
the body response for it

to become consciously
aware of it.

>> What these experiments
reveal is changing our basic

understanding of how the
human body functions.

>> It appears as though
the heart, and brain later,

have access to a field of
information not bound by time

and space.

If we're talking kind of
quantum holographics or quantum

physics, that's old news.

We're really starting
to have ways now

of showing that
we really do have

an energetic or an
electronic system,

and that that's really primary.

It's really not bound
by time and space.

>> The heart is connected
to a field of information

and intelligence that's
different but complementary

to the field of the brain.

>> It's very clear, these
neurons in the heart

and the brain part have
short and long-term memory.

They process information.

It's a functional brain.

>> Other researchers theorize
that the heart may be

the master organ for imprinting
information into the body

field.

>> There's a lot of neural
tissue in the heart,

and we believe that neural
tissue is there in order to act

as an imprinter
for the hologram.

>> The body's holographic body
field is continually supplied

with information via the
pressure waves of the heart.

>> Inside the heart, there is
an enormous amount of charge.

Now the pressure
waves in the presence

of this charge inside
the chamber of the heart

is sufficient to
imprint information.

>> If the heart is transmitting
or imprinting information,

there must be a way for the
cells in the body to receive

that information.

>> There are receptor
protein cells on the outside

of the cell, which is simply
there to receive environmental

information.

How is my day today?

What is going on out there?

What does the body want this
little cell to do today?

You see what I mean?

There has to be
intercellular communication,

but there has to be one source
so there can be one control

system for the body.

>> This control system is
sending out information

to the body via the body
field, but what exactly is

information?

>> We think of the body as both
a material and an energetic,

dynamically exchanging
open system, which it is.

We need to eat, like, a ton
of food a year, and most of it

is passed out.

So all of that food
is somehow turned

into the body, which
remains extremely

stable for long periods of time.

Somebody basically
doesn't change

much for maybe 40
years as an adult.

People recognize you
immediately even 40 years later,

because the basic body
structure doesn't change,

even though after a
short period of time,

you don't have a single
atom left in your body.

They've all exchanged,
and gone out.

And so now this is the hamburger
I ate yesterday, and three

weeks from now, this will be
a carrot that I eat tomorrow,

and so on.

It's a very dynamic system,
and yet I remain the same.

So if it's not the
material, and presumably not

the energetic part, the
dynamic, energetic part, then

what's left?

There must be something like
an informational pattern which

holds it together.

>> Many scientists who are on
the frontier theorize and have

demonstrated that we're
an information system,

and it's not entirely
localized in our body.

That we're accessing information
from the field all the time.

>> The body appears to be
constantly connecting with

information within itself and
with information in the field.

The body is always looking
for coherent systems,

looking for information
interchange between all cells

it has, so that every
single cell knows what's on.

That's a large
information system,

and some people say
that illness is just

a lack in the
information system.

And I suppose they are right.

>> Matter is compressed energy.

Information is
patterns of energy.

There's an information
flow in our bodies

that we still don't
completely understand

through our nervous system
and through the tissues.

And even some of The
Ancients, the Chinese

called it the
acupuncture system, which

is a system of information
flow in the body itself.

>> We get a system
when we get structure.

You know, there's information
everywhere, isn't there?

You only get that information
system when it's ordered.

And the great thing that
was discovered in the 1980s

was that the acupuncture
system appears

to be an organized system.

It's not just a random group
of acupuncture meridians.

It looked upon doing
experiments that they wanted

to arrange themselves
in a certain order,

and that they wanted
to communicate

with each other in
a certain direction.

So we're saying that
information has order,

and that's what makes the body
field is the order itself.

>> The implications of looking
at the physics of the body

and combining that with
technology is that more

and more people are going
to be able to take control

of their own health
care journey.

Now if you look at
the past 100 years,

the control of people's
health has actually

been in the doctors
and practitioners

and directed what
biochemistry or pharmaceutical

they should take.

But now as you're
able to work out

what's going on in your
body and trigger a healing

response in the size of
something of your mobile phone,

the power is directly being
shifted to the individual.

Now really, the role of the
doctor and the practitioner

in the future is to
empower the individual

to take control of
their own health

and help them on their
own healing journey.

>> Ultimately,
according to Einstein,

and other people more recently
have said that energean

information must
be interchangeable.

All right?

So information becomes
a type of energy,

because it's an
orderliness in space.

So they are interchangeable.

But on the other
hand, in practice

what happens is you
get a wave of energy,

and then upon that wave, you
can get imprinted information.

And the amount of
information you can imprint

appears to be limitless.

Informational
medicine, medicine that

takes information and changes
disturbed information,

is going to be the
future of medicine.

>> Apparently, the control
system of the body is not genes

or chemistry, but information,
which seems to be available

in the body field.

Is it possible to put new
information into the body

to affect wellness?

That is exactly what a number
of researchers are doing.

>> Now we've learned how to stop
the distortion of information

that occurs as a result of
various disease processes.

Once you stop the distortion,
surprisingly enough,

the physiology begins to work.

The chemistry comes right.

There are really
wonderful healing stories

to be told here.

And it's simply
because we've learned

how to correct the distortion of
information in your body field.

>> Disease is, in a sense,
scrambled information.

And so if we can access the
appropriate information,

we correct the scrambling.

And that's what a number of
these new energy modalities

are doing.

They're basically correcting
that information scrambling.

>> I was diagnosed with
thyroid cancer when I was 20,

which resulted in
having to have surgery,

and they removed all but a
fourth of my thyroid gland.

I've had to take a
synthetic hormone

to give me the thyroid hormone
that I needed ever since.

I was diagnosed with
chronic fatigue syndrome

some years later, and
fibromyalgia some years later.

Which, I just continued
to get sicker and sicker.

My husband had to pick me up out
of the bed if I had to get up.

He had to feed me, set me
up in the bed and feed me.

>> It got really bad, to the
point of where pretty much I

bathed her and carried her
from the bed to the bathroom,

and things of this nature just
for her to survive on a daily

basis.

>> They really didn't know what
to do for that type of illness.

I was pretty much told
that you just kind of had

to live with it.

>> I couldn't help
her, you know?

And no matter what she told
me, what hurt or what felt bad

or what was happening,
I couldn't help her.

And neither could anybody
else, we didn't think.

>> My doctor finally
said, Vanessa, you know,

I really don't know what to
do for you at this point.

All I can do is try
to give you medicines

to make you more comfortable.

But I would suggest that you
go see this nutritionist,

and maybe she could help you
figure out what you can eat,

or at least you can start to get
some nutrients from something.

>> Vanessa actually was referred
to me by her endocrinologist.

When she first came to
me, she was literally not

able to spend a day
at all out of the bed.

She had lost a tremendous
amount of weight.

She was allergic to
almost everything.

>> I was having a lot of trouble
finding any foods that I could

eat at all, which really
resulted in me being so weak.

>> The inside of her mouth had
a lot of sores inside of it.

The lips had multiple
sores on them

like a cold sore-type thing.

And her hair was like
straw and coming out.

The first thing I did
was the nest testing.

>> The system is designed to
determine areas of distortion

in the body field.

New information is made
available to the body

by ingesting drops that
have been imprinted

with an information pattern.

>> I started her out at the
dosing that we would have

addressed a child because her
energy fields were that weak.

So we started out
very, very cautiously.

>> One morning, I woke up
after I had been seeing Deborah

probably for a couple of months.

And I just had this feeling
that I hadn't ever had.

And I knew--

I knew that this was the answer.

And I felt so good
that I just cried.

I just sat up in the
middle of my bed,

and I just cried,
and cried, and cried.

>> In about six months,
she reached an energy level

of where the body was beginning
to transfer a message more

effectively to where every
layer that we went through,

she was showing
remarkable health changes.

>> Being from a man's standpoint
and a southern country boy-type

person is how I grew up, I first
thought it was hocus pocus,

you know?

And I had my doubts,
and it took a while.

But I see now that
it's phenomenal.

It truly is.

>> I've become healthy enough to
what I think is living a normal

life again.

Because now, I can
clean my own house.

I can cook my meals.

I can even work in the yard.

I can even wash my car.

I can do things that I
never thought I would ever

be able to do again.

>> It's 180 degrees
from where it was.

Just a total turnaround.

It really is.

>> I really don't know how
to explain the difference

in the way I feel.

It's like I died, and
I've come back to life.

And I never thought that I
would ever feel this way again.

I got my life back.

I got my life back,
and it's wonderful.

>> We're on the threshold of an
entire new understanding of how

disease happens, how
information is transferred,

and how to enhance information
transfer within living systems.

There's a vast increase
in chronic disease

in our community, and I believe
using these information methods

that we can treat the
chronic disease that

couldn't be treated before.

>> Magnetic fields,
and more recently,

pulsed electromagnetic fields
are being used extensively

in medicine.

But where it gets
really interesting

is where you put information
in onto the signal

of a pulsed
electromagnetic field.

And that, we've been
witnessing within our research,

has been having incredible
effects on people's healing

responses.

>> One of the most remarkable
instances of the effectiveness

and the instantaneous effect
of informational medicine,

I heard about recently.

And it had to do with a
system called thought field

therapy, which is an energy
psychology that supposedly

heals and changes negative
thoughts around us.

And the theory is that negative
thoughts hang around us almost

like a net, and they
affect bodily systems.

They use this system in
Kosovo with survivors

of the war in former Yugoslavia.

These were families
who'd had been severely

traumatized because the
policies of ethnic cleansing

were to kill half of a family
just so the survivors would

be demoralized.

So they took a
group of people who

had severe post-traumatic
stress syndrome, who

would have required years and
years and years of talking

cures and medicine, and all that
sort of conventional thinking,

and they gave them
thought field therapy.

And to a person--

this is 100% of the
people in this study--

were made virtually
instantly better,

to the point where they
were laughing, joking.

They were healed completely
from this trauma.

Even the practitioners
of energy psychology

were blown away by the
power of this modality.

But this just gives
us one small example

of the power of using
information as medicine.

>> So the most important thing
for people to do is to take

total responsibility
for their health.

Not to think that it comes
from outside themself

or that somebody else
can give it to them.

And by taking total
responsibility,

that may mean they have
to start with choosing

the thoughts that they
think so that they are

in a good state of mind,
the state of mind that's

most conducive to healing.

>> One of the fundamental
things that has to change

in the future of medicine is
this focus on the gene as being

the solution to every illness.

If you look at what
epigeneticists are coming up

with, you have an
understanding that the gene

is really subordinate to this
outside information system.

And that we have to look
at information rather

than the gene as being the
thing that we have to crack,

so to speak.

We have to come up with
information systems that

regularize the
things that go wrong.

>> I think there is absolutely
no question that health care

today, at a global
level, is in crisis.

And it's a crisis of meaning.

It's a crisis of economics.

It's a crisis of leadership.

And it's a crisis of our
models and our understanding

of what promotes or
facilitates healing.

>> We do things like we
have a war on cancer.

We try to destroy
invading organisms.

It's a warfare model
of health and disease

and how to treat disease.

And the body really
doesn't go for that.

>> We have to learn
from other cultures,

from other traditions, from
the observations of all

the different kinds of healers
that are working in our own

cultures at the moment.

We have to take the
best of modern science

and use it to integrate
what's going on.

>> What we need to do is
foster a revolution that shifts

our model from a
disease-centered orientation

to a healing-centered
orientation.

And once you begin
to make that move,

you are responsive to a
variety of different factors

that can facilitate or enhance
our natural healing capacities.

>> I think we can rightly
say the revolution has begun,

not just in my case.

There are research workers
all around the world

who are thinking much
the same, and who

have research data
that we can incorporate

into these new ideas
of the body field.

But I think now we have a
viable scientific theory

for how the body stores
and accesses information.

So we do have a medical
revolution on our hands.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> There seems to be this huge
body of evidence demonstrating

that we can pick up information.

That almost like an electron,
we can be everywhere at once.

>> So I would say, what healing
is is learning to correct

the human body field so that it
works according to the original

blueprint.

>> As the universe is
holographic in nature,

that means that we're all able
to access the information that

we all need to be able
to operate healthfully.

>> So ultimately, what I'd like
to see is a shift from this

disease-centered to this
healing-centered model,

and recognizing that healing
is a profound mystery,

and that we have
so much to learn.

And rather than presuming
we have the answers,

staying open to the
possibility that there

are new things that we
can discover for how

to enhance the human condition.

>> The mind is the functioning
of the brain that interprets

the environment and
adjusts the biology.

So rather than being
controlled by our genes,

our biology's
controlled by our mind.

And when you understand
this, then you

realize the power of being
able to change your mind.

Because when you
do that, you change

your biology and your genetics.

>> If someone's sick, they don't
want to know whether pill X

works better than a placebo
in a double-blind trial.

What they want to
know is, what's

the best kind of treatment?

>> I believe that we are more
powerful than we realize.

I believe that many of
the medical techniques

that we're finding to
be very successful,

people can do on themselves
once they understand

their own energetics.

>> It's very clear that negative
information is deleterious,

or if you accept it into your
body and into your body system,

it will change the way you
react and change your state

of health.

>> We know that from work by
William Tiller and others,

we found that when you begin to
work with reconnective healing,

there's an amount of,
I believe he calls it,

excess free thermodynamic
energy that is released.

That if this were
just energy or just

energy healing instead of the
reconnection, for this amount

to be released and this
change to happen in people,

it would require that the
room temperature rises

over 300 degrees centigrade.

Which, of course,
does not happen,

because we're
accessing something new

and something different.

>> And coherence is the natural
resonant state of the human

body, which we do
have, us humans.

We have a resonant
frequency, OK?

And that's also what we
call the coherent state.

>> So a miracle starts
with a change of thinking.

It's like, when I changed
my thinking about my tumor,

and I decided it was my
best friend and my guide,

rather than it being the worst
thing that had ever happened

to me, that was the miracle.

When I gave it permission who
stay to the end of my days,

that was the miracle.

People think it's
the end result,

but it's not the
end result. It's

the change of thinking,
which leads to a completely

different inner state.

>> You need both.

You need the will to be healed
and the good information

from a therapist from
infoceuticals, whatever.

Yes, of course.

This has to come together.

This has to match.

>> So healing is restoring
the body's own self-repairing

mechanisms.

And that's the biggest thing
as a doctor you can achieve,

that you can help your
patients with restoring

their own repairing mechanisms.
