Rewired: Understanding the Brain and Becoming Supernatural

Introduction

  • Speaker: Dr. Joe Dispenza
  • Overview: Explains how the latest findings in biology and brain research demonstrate that humans are not hardwired to be a certain way. We can change our brain, body, and life by changing our thoughts.
  • Personal Experience: In 1986, Dr. Dispenza had a life-changing injury, leading him to combine scientific knowledge with new understandings of reality and healing.
  • Series Goal: Educate on how to rewire the brain and transform one's life.

What Does it Mean to Be Supernatural?

  • Definition: Changing the body by thought alone, overcoming environmental challenges, and altering predictable future outcomes.
  • Potential: Suggests that every human has the potential for self-healing and achieving extraordinary feats, not just ancient yogis or mystical masters.

The Three Brains

  1. Neocortex (First Brain)

    • Function: Seat of conscious mind, allows connection to 3D reality, responsible for learning and new experiences.
    • Structure: Largest in humans, especially the frontal lobe (40% of brain).
    • Capabilities: Decision making, focus, inventiveness, speculation, intention, and restraining emotional reactions.
    • Geographic Areas: Occipital lobe (vision), areas for motor function, long-term memory, etc.
    • Learning: Forms new synaptic connections; one hour of focused concentration doubles connections.
  2. Limbic Brain (Second Brain)

    • Function: Emotional or chemical brain, creates feelings/emotions from experiences.
    • Chemical Impact: Emotions signal the body to understand the mind's insights, changing genetic expression.
    • Autonomic System: Manages automatic functions (blood sugar, heart rate, etc.).
    • Experience: Repeated experiences condition the mind and body to work as one, leading to habits/skills.
  3. Cerebellum (Third Brain)

    • Function: Responsible for implicit (non-declarative) memories, automates learned behaviors.
    • Mastery: When knowledge becomes innate and automatic, it's ingrained in the cerebellum.

Key Concepts

  1. Neurogenesis

    • Definition: Growth of new neurons.
    • Discovery: Learning and novel experiences promote neurogenesis, countering old beliefs.
    • Implication: New thoughts and behaviors change one's biology.
  2. Brain Coherence

    • Definition: Synchronization of different brain regions.
    • Impact of Stress: Stress causes incoherence, leading to poor brain and body function.
    • Achieving Coherence: Techniques to create coherence without external aid improve brain function and perception.
  3. Heart Coherence

    • Definition: Synchronization of heart function, leading to consistent messages to the brain.
    • Stress Effects: Stress makes the heart function incoherently, leading to mistrust and disease.
    • Improvement: Syncing heart and brain enhances overall energy and functioning.

Changing Personal Reality

  • Personality vs. Reality: Your personality (thoughts, actions, feelings) creates your personal reality. To change your life, you must change your personality.
  • Beyond the Self: Observing and altering one's thinking and behavior patterns leads to new outcomes.
  • Evidence: Research shows significant brain changes from these practices.
  • Transformation: Aligning knowledge, application, and being leads to personal transformation, allowing people to achieve extraordinary healing and growth.

Practical Application

  • Learning and Understanding: Combining various scientific disciplines helps in understanding and applying change techniques.
  • Transformation Formula: Proper information, correct conditions, and consistent practice lead to personal and external changes.
  • Supernatural Abilities: Achieving coherence and alignment allows for overcoming health conditions, anxiety, depression, and even genetic disorders.

Conclusion

  • Next Steps: Future episodes will focus on the process of change and overcoming resistance to change.
  • Goal: Go beyond ordinary experiences and achieve extraordinary outcomes.
