As a psychologist and spiritual guide,
I have the advantage of dealing directly with reason.
Every day in my clinic,
I get a chance to see how the mind works in its natural state
It is indeed characterized by unlimited creativity.
But, for everything his dark side, right?
Have you ever noticed that your mind has great creativity
It fills you with anxiety and fears
And lack of self-confidence as well?
As when you are trying to speak at a TED conference, for example?
(Laughter)
What would happen if we did not hold our brains accountable?
All the time?
We will become prisoners in the world of small and narrow habits
Prisoners of routine Bal no longer benefit us by anything
We will be free from understanding the whole world.
To understand it, imagine that you are a moving puppet,
And that your mind is controlled by its strings, attracting it as he wants.
Have you ever had an experience?
Where did you feel that you were being controlled by strings?
Let us find out how we can pull our strings
To hold onto and attract her again
Let us imagine together.
We might be able to cut the strings if we had enough courage
We enter into an explicit direct relationship, with the raw and direct world as it is perfectly.
But how can we do that?
Well, let’s try this now.
To look directly at the mechanics of the mind,
And its algorithms that regulate cognition.
Let’s start with a first example of music.
I bet you think
That music arises outside your mind,
And that it has an objective world outside somewhere.
But in fact, music is nothing but a raw voice
Until the moment you reach your mind
Then your mind turns this raw sound into music.
It is a chemical transformation.
If you want to check it out, look for your dog
Let Fido sit down first
“Stay where you are” and play Fido with your favorite music
Take out the guitar, stroke the strings and get out your emotions.
Then open the medicine bag, and see which one was music for the ear (Fido).
(Laughter)
Right?
Well, let’s try it together now.
Since Fido is not here today, let’s try it on ourselves.
I will give you two examples,
Let us see what your minds will do with them.
Here is the first example:
(Playing random guitar sounds)
OK?
Here is the second:
(Music)
Well then, which two examples looked like music?
Most people will say that it is second,
Unless you are a jazz-playing professional
Because they usually spend their entire lives
In training their minds to hear the whole world as musical voices.
This reminds me of what the Italian author Luciano Perillo says:
“Music is any sound heard by someone who expects to hear music”
You can try it yourself
When you walk near a noisy building site
Or when you cross a forest full of birds
Try to hear every sound as if it were music.
This will help you to understand and will help you pull the strings back towards you.
Let us take another example.
I’ll play you a little piano.
I will play six notes on this piano
Let us see what your minds will do with it.
(Voice of Piano)
Does anyone know about this sound?
So, it’s a true “sweet year” tone?
I only played these six notes.
However, your minds are full of ideas about cake and gifts
Childhood, aging and hip replacement
And all that Christmas means to you, right?
(Laughter)
But in fact, is it really a “sweet year”?
Both! That’s just a concept, is not it?
What really happened, is that I pressed the plastic fingers.
I hit a piece of metal,
The metal vibrates at a certain speed
Engine the air molecules with certain oscillations
Vibrate the channels to your ear
And small hairs, or cilia, in it
Shaken in harmony with those impulses.
What caused the fluid to drive
Creating an electric pulse
Compare them with your minds to each other, then, here it is!
You get visual ideas
Which is what you call “music”.
As you know there is an equation for it
It is somewhat a uniform equation of music
As you know, it is an equation of type E = mc2:
The sum of time and sound is music.
Time is running
Here’s a voice, and here’s a voice
Then, take your mind these two components
Mix them together and say:
“Is it predictable? Familiar? Can I find a link between all this?
Yes, it’s music, I’ll let it affect me “as the second example.
But the example I first played was like time and voice
Your mind looks at it, “Is it my nest?” Yes, it’s random and unorganized.
I do not understand it, nothing is familiar here “if!” Has nothing to do with this subject “
But your mind always does this with all the sounds.
We can also take a visual example. Let us take a visual example.
Turn your gaze in the broad night sky
And from everything you see, your mind sees the Big Bear, right?
You can extract a picture of him in your imagination.
You look at the big bear but is it really a bigger bear?
Of course not.
It is only seven bright points, very far away
It separates vast distances from space space.
Your mind is looking at it
Points reach Rasma what looks like a constellation (a group of stars)
In fact, it is an asteroid but in practice,
Resembling the Big Bear “
This is understandable, is not it?
if,
This is somewhat like what is happening now.
I stand here on this huge red dot
I practically shook the air just using my vocal cords
It is your minds that do the work.
I shake the air,
Your mind connects vibrations or pulses in the air,
Your minds turn,
And translated,
You know, translates it as “Google” into meaningful meaning.
Each of you does it in a slightly different way
According to his previous experiences.
Well, we quickly return to what is important.
We talked about music, stars and speech.
Now let’s talk about something that matters to each of us:
Relationships, interaction with other people.
There is a quick questionnaire.
Imagine this picture: a toothpaste tray, with no cover on it.
How do you feel?
(Laughter)
OK? Some of you think, “I do not care,” do you?
These are the ones who leave it without cover.
(Laughter)
Often, the rest of us think as follows:
“This is terrible! I left it without cover again!
As if we had already talked about this. It is very important! “is not it?
The algorithm behind this, or brain equation,
Is as follows: “toothpaste without cover is equal to (you do not love me!)
Or (you do not care about me), or (you do not respect me),
Or (you do not remember me),
(You do not remember what’s important to me) “Is not it?
You will get the same results with an open toilet chair and dishes in the tub,
And “You did not reply to my message,”
And anything else infuriates you.
I work in marital counseling, so I hear that.
(Laughter)
This really happens, it’s very personal things.
Let us take one last example: mental health.
What might be more private than it?
As a psychologist I follow the Carl Young school. In fact, I really care about mental health
With my patients in general, and with myself and the truth, with the whole community at the moment.
Perhaps you are also interested in this.
So, let’s take another very special example I’ve got from James Hollett.
You’re driving in the road, way of anger, okay?
Lead the way, you have to go somewhere.
Your time is limited, and the appointment is important for you to get there.
Someone cuts you off.
What does your mind say?
He says, “Here you are, again
You stand in my way as you always do. “
But something here is not true, is it?
Because he is a stranger.
You have never met him before and will never meet him.
He did it only once.
So this is not the straw that broke the camel’s back
This is just one straw, is not it?
So, somehow, the equation made by the mind you know ..
“Standing in my way equals a lack of respect with premeditation”
This equation does not represent reality completely.
Here is an annoying conflict.
It’s our chance to pull out the thread and say, “Mmm is not quite,” is it?
By the way, a few weeks ago I was at CERN in Geneva,
In the Large Hydron Collider.
When I was standing there,
Above the largest particle accelerator in the world
All these explosions are happening under my feet
Quickly match the speed of light
Something happened to me.
What happened to me: Every idea we have.
And every concept and every idea sent by our minds to us,
They are all like the Big Bang
Gives life to all possibilities in the world.
But we do not have to be dragged with every endless event
It happens in our minds.
In fact, we can choose, right?
Cut, cut, cut.
We can choose which will appear
And which wind will blow him like a cloud
Here is my suggestion to you.
Get to know the animated puppet master.
Know when to pull your strings and pull them back toward you.
If you are truly brave, cut it off
Cut off threads and earn your freedom.
Let yourself imagine a world
No longer at the mercy of the habits of mind
Which keep us away from each other
And about this wonderful great world.
(Playing guitar)
Thank you very much.
(Applause) (Cheers)
