7 Manifestation Secrets That Will Transform Your Reality in 2026 | Lewis Howes

Lewis brings together seven of the world's leading voices in neuroscience, psychology, and human potential to reveal the hidden mechanics of manifestation. You'll hear from Gregg Braden on why your emotional environment is your most powerful tool, Dr. Joe Dispenza on the neuroscience of believing before seeing, and Rhonda Byrne on why talking about what you don't want keeps it locked in place. Dr. Tara Swart breaks down the brain science of visualization, while Dr. James Doty explains the physiology of intention and how synchronicities actually work. Gary Zukav illuminates the two fundamental laws that govern every result you create, and Tabitha Brown shares how walking in your truth is the only way to attract what's truly meant for you. These aren't abstract concepts. Every insight is grounded in science, backed by research, and proven in the real lives of people who've transformed everything from their health to their relationships to their bank accounts. The common thread is clear: your inner world creates your outer reality, and you have far more control than you've been taught to believe.

  The results you get in your life aren't just determined by what you do. They're determined by what you think, what you feel, and most importantly, what you believe is possible for yourself. Because manifestation isn't magic. It's not wishful thinking. It's a science and it's a skill. And the most successful people in the world are using it every single day. So today, I've brought together seven of the world's leading experts in neuroscience, psychology, quantum physics, and human potential to give you the exact blueprint for your life. They're going to show you how to rewire your brain for abundance. How to align your thoughts, emotions, and energy with exactly what you want to create in your life.

• 0:45Lewis Howes?

  And how to finally stop getting in your own way with that whole self sabotage thing that so many people do. And by the end of this episode, you will understand how to manifest your dream life. I am so excited. In section one, we have Greg Braden. The first thing you need to understand about manifestation is how your inner voice and emotional environment play a part in shaping your reality. In this section with Greg Braden, he is an internationally recognized pioneer in bridging science, spirituality, and human potential. And he breaks this down completely. So let's go ahead and dive in. We're getting information from the outside world, whether it be media, parents, friends,

• 1:29Lewis Howes?

  peers, whatever it might be, advertising, all coming to us. We're also getting, what I heard you say, our most powerful environment is our emotional environment. So we're getting information from our emotional environment constantly. How important then is our inner self-talk and the stories we tell ourselves? And how we either create and attract what we want in terms of abundance or have more of a miserable type of a life?

• 1:58Speaker 01

  Sure. Well, you nailed it. And that is the essence of our humanness. We have conscious stories and unconscious stories. I had an unconscious story that I am not safe in the world without my protector. I was not consciously aware of that. So that inner conversation is vital. It's more than important, it's vital. Our story defines the way, the way that we are in the world. So we live our lives based upon our story, the way we're conditioned to think about ourselves. Everybody has a story that begins before we're even born in our, our mother's womb. The epigenetic factors are determining our, our subconscious story.

• 2:41Speaker 01

  Uh, the way that our friends and our family and our peers and our school and our church teach us to deal with the world. That's all part of our story. And based upon our story, our story defines every relationship we'll ever have. This is an adult audience, I'm assuming. So every relationship, every friend that we'll ever have, every human that we invite into our bed is a reflection of the story that we have told ourselves about ourselves and believe. This is the key. What story do you believe? Many people tell themselves stories, but they don't even believe their own stories.

• 3:18Speaker 01

  Those are called affirmations. You can say the affirmations a million times a day. If you don't believe that you are worthy of a perfect mate. If you don't believe that you're worthy of the healing.

• 3:29Lewis Howes?

  How does one, Greg, start to believe they are worthy and deserving of incredible love?

• 3:36Speaker 01

  We're, we're doing this right now.

• 3:38Lewis Howes?

  Even if they had a horrible backstory, even if their parents abandoned them, abused them. If they have been cheated on, lied to, stolen from, physically, sexually, emotionally abused over and over again, when their reality was something that was painful and suffering. How can they believe, I'm worthy? Look at all the bad stuff that's happened to me.

• 3:59Speaker 01

  What you just described is the workshop of life. That's where the workshop begins, but the workshop has to begin with the story, Louis. We are not, we've been told. We're more than we've been led to believe. We need the reasons to think differently about ourselves. I can walk into an audience and I can say, you're powerful beings. And I've seen it a million times with a million speakers. People have a notebook, just like you have right there. And they write just like you're writing right now. And they'll say, I am powerful and a power. And then they'll look up and say, yeah, what's next? Because it meant nothing. But if they don't believe it. Exactly. It meant nothing to them. Knowledge is power. So you need a story plus the belief of that story. Well, one of the reasons I honor the left brain, everyone has a left brain to some degree.

• 4:43Speaker 01

  Everyone learns differently. Not everyone learns the same. Not everyone wants to hear everything that I just shared with you. But if someone is looking for the reason to think differently, they're saying, Greg, give me a reason to think differently about myself. I'm sharing with you in the book, a lot more detail, but I'm sharing the science that that shows us that we are a soft technology. We're not a frail a biological flawed biological form of life, subject to flaws. We have very, very few flaws. Our body performs with what it's given to work with. Our, our body is a reflection. Candace Pert, the, um, the Harvard M D said this. The molecules of emotion?

• 5:26Speaker 01

  Molecules of emotion. She actually said, your body is your subconscious mind. Because what you believe about yourself is creating the chemicals in the body. Isn't that fascinating? Yeah, it really is. And. Your body is your subconscious mind. So that means what you think and believe about yourself. Consciously and subconsciously. You create within your body. So I, as a, as a child, had to reconcile what I felt, what I would call my, my soul compass. Because, uh, it wasn't supported in my community. People didn't talk like this when I was a kid. And, uh, and it sent me on a journey to understand myself and that led me on a journey to understand our past.

• 6:10Speaker 01

  And that led me on a journey to understand. I had two, I don't know how we're done on time. Can I share a couple of stories? Yeah. Two very powerful stories, uh, experience when I was, I was 14. So now I've left home. I'm in, living with my band and I go see my first rock concert. It was a group, uh, that was called Jefferson Airplane. And the lead singer was this stunningly beautiful woman named Grace Slick is her name. She's still alive today. And I sat on the front row and yelled at Grace Lick and told her how much I loved her and she completely blew me off. But I watched in that room, there were about 30,000 people.

• 6:48Lewis Howes?

  Wow.

• 6:50Speaker 01

  And I watched them moved by what a couple of people did on that stage. But here's, here's the thing, the concert was over and we left.

• 7:00Speaker 01

  And everyone needed to have something to recreate that experience. At that time, there were eight-track tapes or albums. They needed something to recreate that. Now,

• 7:12Lewis Howes?

  That feeling, that emotion.

• 7:13Speaker 01

  Couple of weeks later, I have another experience and I'm not saying I'm aligned with the message. There was an evangelist named Billy Graham. Powerful, powerful speaker. He spoke to 70,000 people in the Kansas City Athletics Stadium, outdoor stadium. And here's the difference, when those people left,

• 7:33Speaker 01

  they felt differently about themselves. They didn't need anything to recreate the feeling because his words had helped them to sense and to feel and to see themselves differently than they did before they went in to hear that.

• 7:49Lewis Howes?

  Wow.

• 7:50Speaker 01

  What I recognized as a kid, I don't know exactly how I'm going to do this, but I think there is, there is a way, our words, the words are so powerful. I mean, when you think about what we do with words, we breathe the breath from outside of us. We invite it into our bodies. We begin to flutter our diaphragm. We push the air back over the direction it just came down from. And as it's moving back, we begin to flutter our vocal cords in just the right way, listen to this, to reflect the thoughts and the feelings that we're having as acoustic waveforms. So they can leave our bodies and fall on the skin and onto the eardrums of another living being to convey our deepest, most intimate experiences.

• 8:34Lewis Howes?

  Fascinating.

• 8:35Speaker 01

  How powerful that is.

• 8:36Lewis Howes?

  Fascinating.

• 8:37Speaker 01

  And nobody tells us that. Nobody tells us that. So I-

• 8:40Lewis Howes?

  And there's a, so we're expressing a frequency based on the words we use, the sounds we use in that. And then every other person is receiving that frequency as well.

• 8:49Speaker 01

  It begins with a thought. Nobody can see our thought, but we're converting the thought into acoustic waveforms

• 8:56Lewis Howes?

  It's fascinating.

• 8:57Speaker 01

  through the air that we're forcing back and the ability-

• 9:02Speaker 01

  To to modulate our vocal cords in just the right way to create those acoustic patterns and then they leave our bodies. My words have left my body. Now they're falling on you. They're touching your skin. They're they're touching your eardrums and you, your nervous system is now interpreting my thoughts. And and we are so good at it. We don't give a second thought.

• 9:26Lewis Howes?

  Yeah.

• 9:27Speaker 01

  That's how that's how powerful we are.

• 9:29Lewis Howes?

  What is the frequency of our words and how it supports or harms us?

• 9:34Speaker 01

  It's not so much the words themselves. It's the meaning that we give to the words. That's the key.

• 9:38Lewis Howes?

  So it's the interpretation of the words.

• 9:40Speaker 01

  The significance that we give to the word that we either tell ourselves about ourselves and believe, I have to believe them, or that other people instill within us before the age of seven.

• 9:52Lewis Howes?

  You talked about this story in the beginning where, you know, you and your brother grew up in the same environment, same parents, same schooling essentially, but you have different lives. You interpreted things differently. How can one learn to break an interpretation that they've lived a life of pain, sadness, and suffering? Not deny the experience that happened to them, but not define them moving forward and holding them back from the abundance that they want to create in their life.

• 10:18Speaker 01

  That's the beauty of our humanist nirvana. We have the ability to choose. We must accept the responsibility with that choice that we choose not to be defined by our past. That was a choice, it was a conscious choice I made when I was young. I looked at my father's life. I looked at the destruction, the emotional destruction. I looked at what it was doing to me. And I said, now, my younger brother, and I love my brother, and if he's watching this, I haven't talked to you for a while, brother, but I love you. He carries that hurt and allows that to define his life. And so all of the misfortune, and this isn't nothing new, you've heard this, all the misfortunes, the bad relationships, the bad jobs, whatever it is, it's somebody else's fault.

• 11:03Speaker 01

  You know, we're you're you're looking around you for the reasons.

• 11:08Speaker 01

  And that is a fundamental shift in in understanding our relationship to the world. We must choose consciously or subcon- I'm not saying it's always a conscious choice, but on some level, we choose to be defined by what the circumstances of the past, or we choose to free ourselves. Human divinity is what allows us to do that. If we don't have our human divinity, the ability to innovate, to imagine, to create, to love, those are all, these are all facets of human divinity. You begin to see why it's so important for us to preserve, to claim and preserve our humanist, our bodies. I think perhaps the greatest

• 11:53Speaker 01

  task that we're given as humans is to honor, preserve, protect the gift of our bodies. Because once we relinquish our humanist, the technology, we'll never get it back. Once we give our humanist, once we give our biology away, we'll never get it back. And we become something very different. This is what Ray Kurzweil is talking about, and it's what the others are talking about, but it comes down to something even deeper than that. And if you're gonna do a soundbite, maybe this is gonna be the soundbite, because, because not everybody's in to the good and evil, not everybody's into the technology and all of that. Comes down to love. The question that we all ask ourselves, do we love ourselves enough

• 12:36Speaker 01

  to accept the gift of our humanist? And the responsibility that comes with being a human? And our divinity, expressing our divinity fearlessly in this world. That's the question we're all asking ourselves. And without a verbal answer, the choices that we make, the politics that we choose, the medical systems that we choose, the food that we eat, the wars that we create, or the peace that we create are the answer to that question. We're all answering it right now, but how can you answer it if you don't know the context? So I'm gonna go back, good and evil, a battle between good and evil. This is a very different battle. You don't win this battle. It's not the kind of battle that you

• 13:19Speaker 01

  win by fighting. We don't wanna win, we want to triumph. And the way you triumph, and this is the beauty. You don't have to know any of this. The way we triumph is by living the best version of ourselves. We live our humanness. We live our devendy. We love fearlessly. We innovate. We create. We forgive without expectation. When we do that forgiveness, we do all of those things. And by doing that, that is the very opposite. Evil wants to defeat us by separating us from those expressions. When we live them, we have triumphed.

• 13:52Lewis Howes?

  Wow.

• 13:53Speaker 01

  And I think that's the beauty of where we are right now.

• 13:56Lewis Howes?

  So again, if someone

• 13:56Speaker 01

  That makes sense if I say

• 13:57Lewis Howes?

  It makes sense to me, of course. But if someone's watching, listening, and they're thinking, you know, I've just had a rough life.

• 14:03Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 14:03Lewis Howes?

  I've just had a tough life. I'm sure you can think of someone in your life who's been holding on to that story. And maybe it's validated, right? Like, they can validate that, and they've had it really challenging.

• 14:15Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 14:16Lewis Howes?

  If we can try to simplify the steps, maybe the actions and the practice might take a lot of time and energy and conscious effort. But if we could simplify the steps. If someone is feeling completely stuck or broken in their relationships, their financial situation, their career path, and they just feel like energetically, things are not working for me. I'm not able to create the life I want. I'm hearing you say we're supposed to protect and preserve our bodies, but I'm taking drugs because it's helping me deal with all this stress. I'm using alcohol, porn, addiction, because I'm exhausted. What would be the practical steps that they could start to apply in their life? To go from a story and a past of suffering or sadness and transform it into peace, freedom,

• 15:01Lewis Howes?

  and financial and emotional abundance in their life?

• 15:05Speaker 01

  That's, that is a really good question, and what we're doing now is the answer to that question. It has to begin with knowing that you have a choice, first of all.

• 15:13Lewis Howes?

  Step one, know you have a choice.

• 15:14Speaker 01

  So many people believe that there is no choice.

• 15:19Speaker 01

  Because they have been conditioned and indoctrinated to believe that they are powerless victims of a world around them that they have no control over and that they are a flawed form of life that needs something outside of their bodies. Yeah. Alright, so knowledge is power. You have to be willing to embrace the deep truth of your humanness and your divinity. It's very difficult to break through those patterns if you are not willing to accept the truth of your humanness and the powered responsibility that comes with being a human on this earth. And we're given very few reasons to do that, Lewis, in our lives and our schoolchildren are given very few reasons to do that. And that's why they've lost respect in many cases for their bodies.

• 16:03Speaker 01

  They don't have a sense of a future because the indoctrination is telling them they live in a world where it's hopeless. That's what it's telling them. Now, I, with the exception of the drugs, I've been, I've been, we were so, we were more than poor. And my father finally left. He left when I was 10, fortunately. Uh, tough for my mom, raising two, two boys. She didn't have a job. This was, uh, 19, early 1960s. Northern Missouri or where were you? Yeah, northern Missouri, just north of Kansas City, Missouri. North, northwest Missouri. Northwest Missouri, yeah. Uh, I lied about my age. I went to work in a copper mill so I could be a union worker after school. I worked union hours, 4:00 AM to, or 4:00, 4:00 PM to 4:00 AM.

• 16:48Speaker 01

  There were 12-hour shifts. We lived in government subsidized housing, uh, for most of my teen years until, until I, I left and then I was forced to go back. At the age of 14, I left. Uh, the court intervened and said, you have to go back until you're 18 or you become a ward of the state. So I, I went back. We lived in government subsidized housing. Uh, and it's one of those things, you can hear the words from a million different people. You have to find a reason to become more than the circumstances of your past. You have to find that reason for yourself. And that's why the information, it's, it's more than just data. When I can show someone. The potential within their bodies to look at it differently.

• 17:33Speaker 01

  When I can show someone what their divinity is really all about, and that it's so valuable that nations will create wars to divert and distract us. What is it within us that could possibly warrant that extreme of hurt and suffering? It's because we are so valuable and so precious.

• 17:57Lewis Howes?

  In this section, Joe Dispenza, who is a researcher, a lecturer, neuroscientist, who works with and sits at the intersection of neuroscience and quantum physics. He's going to break down how to shift your reality of what's really holding you back right now. Say it one more time. We cannot attract anything we want in our lives that we feel separate from.

• 18:17Joe Dispenza?

  Exactly.

• 18:17Lewis Howes?

  What if we do attract something from lack? When we have it, how will it make us feel?

• 18:24Joe Dispenza?

  Well, if you work hard and you put in your time, and matter to matter, you're getting your behaviors to match your intentions and your actions equal to your thoughts. You're getting your mind and body working together. You're going to run into your goal. You're going to run into your experience. The experience of your abundance, your experience of your thing that you want, takes away the lack of not having it, right? But some people are creating, but they're spending their whole life in lack, waiting for their world to change to feel abundant, right? And we discovered that that's kind of the opposite of the way people actually get what they want. When they start holding a very clear vision of their future,

• 19:09Joe Dispenza?

  and we call that intention, and you need a coherent brain to do that. And we work diligently to get people's brains tuned up to order. The more coherent the brain, the more high functioning it is, the greater the signal.

• 19:22Joe Dispenza?

  And it turns out that you have to feel the emotion of the future before it happens, because the emotion is the energy that's gonna drive your body to that end, to have the experience. And at the same time, if you're truly practicing feeling the emotion of your future, you won't be in lack. In fact, you will feel, if you feel like your future has already happened, you'll never look for it. You only look for it when you feel separate from it. So, it's kind of a... It's a kind of an analogy of like, you know, cause and effect. You know, waiting for your healing to feel gratitude, waiting for your abundance to feel worthy or successful, you know, waiting for your relationship to feel love,

• 20:05Joe Dispenza?

  you know, the old model of reality of cause and effect. The new model of reality is causing an effect. Causing an effect. Yeah, the moment you feel gratitude, your healing begins. Wow. The moment you're empowered and you're worthy, you're stepping or generating abundance, you're stepping towards your success. The moment you're in love with yourself, in love with life, and you see beauty in all things, it's natural that you'll attract and equal. So, that's causing an effect. Right? And so, um... All you need is a clear intention and an elevated emotion. And when you combine that clear intention and elevated emotion, just like when a person is remembering the past and feeling the emotion, if you start holding the intention and you feel the emotion,

• 20:49Joe Dispenza?

  the stronger the emotion you feel, the more you remember the vision and you can begin to remember your future. Why is that important? Because biologically, if you do it well, your brain will look like it's already happened. And if you do it really well genetically, your body will begin to change to look like it's already happened. In other words, our data shows that in seven days at a week-long event, when people really get in the creative process, they up-regulate thousands of genes and metabolites to suggest that they're living in a whole new life, a whole new environment. The body's so objective. It doesn't know the difference between a real-life experience that creates the emotion and the emotion that we can create by thought alone to the body. It's exactly the same. So the body begins to believe it's living in that future.

• 21:33Joe Dispenza?

  And of course, there's the thought and the feeling. There's the image and the emotion. There's the stimulus and response. We can condition the body emotionally to begin to believe it's living in the future. And if the environment signals the gene, and it does, the end product of an experience in the environment is emotion. You could actually regulate genes, up-regulate genes, ahead of the environment. That's exactly what we discovered. People's bodies and brains change enough that it looks like the event has already happened. Now, this is where the fun part starts. Because if there's physical evidence in your brain and body that it has already happened, time to relax. This is when the synchronicities, this is when the opportunities, this is when the coincidences.

• 22:16Joe Dispenza?

  All of a sudden, you no longer have to go anywhere and do anything to get it. Somehow, there's an attraction, you know, they're coming to you. They're coming even without having to do anything. And so, it's just a reframing of our understanding of how to create. You can get really good at creating a lot of things matter to matter. You can, you know, study, you can, you know, you can learn from your mistakes. You can, you know, get, you can get consulting. You can do all these things and you can get really good at doing it. But there's another way, there is another way. And so, to answer the question about being stuck, many people are living their whole entire life, not consciously. They're just subconsciously waiting for their wealth to happen so they could feel abundant,

• 23:01Joe Dispenza?

  waiting for their new relationship to feel love, you know, that old model of reality.

• 23:07Lewis Howes?

  And what I'm hearing you say is that your personality creates your personal reality. And your personality is based on how we think, act, and feel. So if we're living in a personality state currently that is creating the results of feeling separate or lacked from abundance, a better relationship, more money, better health, then we must learn to shift the personality to create a new reality for ourselves.

• 23:32Joe Dispenza?

  It's exactly the truth. In other words, in order for you to create a new personal reality, you have to change your personality. In other words, nothing changes in our life until we change. Now, look, it's really simple. Just look, look, just make it really simple. Let's just say somebody wants to have a goal to make a certain amount of money.

• 23:50Lewis Howes?

  Yes.

• 23:51Joe Dispenza?

  Or they want to get in shape, right? And here's the personality who's on the couch, who's, you know, eating Fritos.

• 23:58Lewis Howes?

  Eating the chips.

• 23:59Joe Dispenza?

  Yeah, drinking a beer.

• 24:00Lewis Howes?

  Tweedy.

• 24:01Joe Dispenza?

  Tweedy, you know, laying around, you know, not motivated at all. And the person wants to get healthy or the person wants to become abundant. There's gotta be a lot of things that have to change in order for you to be the personality of abundance because it isn't abundance. It's who you become. It's who you become in the process.

• 24:23Lewis Howes?

  It's almost like this person is out of alignment from the goal, the vision, the dream that they want to have. They have to be in more alignment of the person that can create that and harmonize with it is what I'm hearing you say.

• 24:34Joe Dispenza?

  And let's demystify it. If you want to become abundant, study abundant people. Get as much knowledge and resources, enough connections in your brain so you have a storehouse of information for you can dream what it is to be abundant. Because if you study abundant people, they made a lot of mistakes. They got, people betrayed them. People got stole from them. They lost everything. They, you know, they had a journey. And the difference is they just went one more time. They just didn't see failure. They just kept going. So what are the qualities and characteristics that you would have to embody to become that abundant person? And get busy doing that.

• 25:19Joe Dispenza?

  Get busy doing that in terms of change. And use it as an experiment, like... If I change, will my life change, right? If I give up lack, if I give up fear, yeah, it sounds easy theoretically. You're gonna have to put your time in. You're gonna have to work inwardly. You're gonna have to do some surveillance on your own thoughts and how you act and how you feel. And you gotta get really good. So good at doing it with your eyes closed. You gotta do it with your eyes open. It means you can't default in your life, right?

• 25:52Lewis Howes?

  Yeah, when life happens and there's distractions and people in your face and people cutting you off.

• 25:56Joe Dispenza?

  One emotional response and seamlessly we turn back to the other personality.

• 25:59Lewis Howes?

  Oh man, it's the worst.

• 26:00Joe Dispenza?

  It's the worst. But that's why we have another day. It's a new day. Like, okay, how did I do in one day, one lifetime? Like, how did I do? Sucked, okay? God's not up there with a laptop keeping track. You know, like you got another shot at it the next day. So can you learn from the last day and say, when did I fall from grace? Oh, I reacted to that person or circumstance with the same emotion. That emotion caused me to behave as if I was in my past and believe in my past. And that's when you no longer see the future because the emotion that you're feeling is keeping you connected to the past. You only believe in your future when you feel the emotion of your future. So enthusiasm and theos, filled with God,

• 26:43Joe Dispenza?

  inspiration, inspire the movement of energy, right? The energy that it takes, the looking forward to, the optimism, that is what drives us to our dreams. And you've just gotta be able to sustain that state of being independent of anyone or anything in your life. And if you can, get ready because that's when your life changes. You're literally thinking differently. You're acting differently and you're feeling differently. That's a new personality and that means a new personal reality. That's the experiment.

• 27:13Lewis Howes?

  In this next section, we have Rhonda Byrne. And you will never be able to manifest what you want if you keep the negative thoughts ruminating in your mind. Rhonda Byrne, one of the most famous teachers on manifestation, breaks down how to reprogram your thoughts right now.

• 27:32Rhonda Byrne?

  Whatever we say is what our life will be. And so if we are saying, I don't have enough money, then by law of attraction, we will not have enough money. We will continue to not have enough money. So what we have to do is we need to speak about what we want. And we need to talk about, for example, if it's money, or if it's health, or if we're not feeling really great, then we can talk about what it feels like to be really well, instead of talking about not being well, right? Because if we're talking about not being well, we're attracting more of that, more of that, more of that.

• 28:11Lewis Howes?

  Right.

• 28:11Rhonda Byrne?

  And so that's basically law of attraction. I mean, it is so wonderful and it's so intricate. And the more that you, the more that it becomes a part of your life, the more you see the little kind of twists and turns.

• 28:33Lewis Howes?

  Synchronicities.

• 28:34Rhonda Byrne?

  Yeah, like, for, for example, if, if, if you're saying, you know, I'm so overwhelmed. There's just so much going on at the moment and I can't get on top of things and I'm just overwhelmed. Guess what? Guess what's coming? More overwhelmment, more, you know.

• 28:53Lewis Howes?

  So when we speak about things that are frustrating us, that are overwhelming, that are stressing us out, that we're in lack of, when we speak about them, or we're constantly in a loop of thinking of those thoughts, and then speaking them to ourselves or to others. What I'm hearing you say is it's going to be a lot harder to get beyond those struggles than to speak in a different way or think in a different way. Is that what I'm hearing you say?

• 29:16Rhonda Byrne?

  That's what, that's the case. And in fact, until we think differently, it won't change.

• 29:21Lewis Howes?

  Really?

• 29:22Rhonda Byrne?

  It wouldn't matter all the action in the world. All the action in the world will not override a belief that we have. And usually when we speak, for example, if I'm saying, I'm so overwhelmed, so much is happening. And when we're saying, I'm so overwhelmed, we believe it, like we're saying it with conviction, right? And so the fact that we believe it. It's not gonna change. We're going to keep, more things are going to come, more things are going to come.

• 29:48Lewis Howes?

  And even if someone, let's say they, they did work hard for a long time and they're feeling this overwhelmed. And all of a sudden, they started to make a lot more money, but it's not gonna change the overwhelm if they keep thinking it.

• 30:00Rhonda Byrne?

  That's right.

• 30:00Lewis Howes?

  So more money might come because you spent more time in this world and worked hard.

• 30:05Rhonda Byrne?

  Right.

• 30:05Lewis Howes?

  And it's just your time to make more.

• 30:07Rhonda Byrne?

  Right.

• 30:07Lewis Howes?

  But you still might say, well, I'm still overwhelmed. It's not enough.

• 30:10Rhonda Byrne?

  Yeah.

• 30:11Lewis Howes?

  Right? There's not enough feeling, even though you have more.

• 30:14Rhonda Byrne?

  Yep.

• 30:14Lewis Howes?

  You're still stressed and overwhelmed.

• 30:16Rhonda Byrne?

  You're still stressed and overwhelmed.

• 30:17Lewis Howes?

  That's why you see people with money, some people with money who aren't fulfilled or happy, they're still overwhelmed.

• 30:21Rhonda Byrne?

  That's right. Yeah.

• 30:23Lewis Howes?

  So how do we shift it so that when more comes our way, we're actually not feeling more overwhelmed, but more in abundance and grateful for that?

• 30:33Rhonda Byrne?

  It's so simple. It's so easy. We just have to talk about, think about what we want. And do we wanna feel overwhelmed? And no, we don't. So what do, what do you want? I want all of the success, but I want it to be effortless and easy. And I wanna have lots of spare time. And I wanna really be enjoying it. And I want, like, talk about what you want. And talk about what you want until you have what you want.

• 31:06Lewis Howes?

  When people talk about what they don't want consistently, what typically happens?

• 31:11Rhonda Byrne?

  They get that. That's what they get.

• 31:13Lewis Howes?

  More of what they don't want.

• 31:14Rhonda Byrne?

  Yeah, they get more of what they don't want. If we could just talk about what we want, our life would be incredible, incredible, amazing, spectacular.

• 31:33Rhonda Byrne?

  That's it, just to talk about, but we are so, we have a world that's very um beautiful, but orientated towards drama and you know, news is negative and uh so you know, it's, it's challenging for people, but we're all in it together.

• 31:56Lewis Howes?

  Yes.

• 31:56Rhonda Byrne?

  Because we're all dealing with the mind and the mind that might be delivering a whole lot of negative thoughts. But not one of us, it's not harder for one or easier for another. We all have this mind that can be like a flatmate and chatter, chatter, chatter, non-stop chatter, keep going on, you know. Um, so we all, we're all dealing with that and the mind, it's just a uh, it's just a program.

• 32:24Lewis Howes?

  Hmm.

• 32:25Rhonda Byrne?

  It's not an entity, it's just a program. And so through, I think, because certainly through my experience, through the secret, we you can to- totally train your mind to be positive. So that it is not leaning toward the negative all of the time. And positive is just what you want.

• 32:46Lewis Howes?

  Right.

• 32:46Rhonda Byrne?

  Right?

• 32:47Lewis Howes?

  When someone is thinking or speaking about what they want, does that mean that they are in lack of it? Or how do they speak about it where it's not from a place of lack?

• 32:57Rhonda Byrne?

  Right. Um, it's a good question.

• 33:01Lewis Howes?

  You know what I mean, if I'm like, I want this, I want this, but I don't have it. So how do we speak about it where we're in gratitude and positive around it as opposed to I really want this thing, but it's not in my life right now, but I really want it.

• 33:12Rhonda Byrne?

  Yeah, but the problem is you just cancelled out the manifestation when you said, but it's not in my life right now.

• 33:17Lewis Howes?

  Ah.

• 33:18Rhonda Byrne?

  Yeah, because if you, if you're saying that I, you know, I, well, you could say it like this. I would really love to have this, it's a little bit softer, right, than I want. But you, but to manifest something that you, to deliberately manifest, you have to want it, but then you can't have any thoughts of, well, it's not here yet. Because the moment you say it's not here, what does law of attraction do? It's not here yet.

• 33:46Lewis Howes?

  Hmm, and it's constantly not here yet.

• 33:48Rhonda Byrne?

  Yeah.

• 33:49Lewis Howes?

  So, so say this again, how do we really manifest something? We, we put it out there, we speak it, or we think it, but then we detach from it?

• 33:59Rhonda Byrne?

  Yeah, and you know, here's the thing, we so don't realize our own amazing power, that we can just ask for something and it will be given to us.

• 34:13Lewis Howes?

  Now, here's what, here's what the criticism online is for the secret.

• 34:16Rhonda Byrne?

  Okay.

• 34:17Lewis Howes?

  Or the law of attraction, or anyone talking about manifesting.

• 34:20Rhonda Byrne?

  Okay.

• 34:20Lewis Howes?

  This is what I'll see people, and this is typically people in lack, or maybe people with more of a negative frustration because they don't have what they want. They will say, or these are comments that I'll see, you can't just think something and expect it to appear without putting in the hard work, without action, without consistency. It's just, the world just doesn't work like that. When you see comments like that, or people say this,

• 34:49Lewis Howes?

  how would you respond to someone saying, thinking that, or saying that?

• 34:54Rhonda Byrne?

  Well, I don't, um, I always kind of feel that everybody has the right to think what they want and believe what they want, and I, I know it's not the case. Um, I remember Lester Levinson said something so incredibly, he was a wonderful teacher. He's not alive anymore, um, but he was very simple in the way that he talked. And he, he told these students that if you want something, I could lock you up in a room and padlock that room, and you ask for that, and you know you have it, right? You know you have it now, and it will come.

• 35:36Lewis Howes?

  Really?

• 35:37Rhonda Byrne?

  Yeah, it will come, and nothing in this world can stop it.

• 35:43Lewis Howes?

  Wow.

• 35:44Rhonda Byrne?

  Right?

• 35:45Lewis Howes?

  What are some examples in your life where you've you've thought or spoken about something you've desired or wanted and it has come effortlessly? Or maybe an example of people that have written about their success stories? Is there anything you can think of?

• 36:02Rhonda Byrne?

  Right.

• 36:04Lewis Howes?

  Where maybe for a long time they'd struggled in manifesting or attracting what they wanted, but they started to apply this and really believed it and that thing came to them.

• 36:14Rhonda Byrne?

  Right. Well, when I did a book signing and I had I got to talk to all of these different people and every single person at that book signing told me about how their life had completely changed.

• 36:28Lewis Howes?

  Wow.

• 36:29Rhonda Byrne?

  And what was amazing was so somebody would say that they wanted to have they were working, I don't know, cleaning a bank or something and they wanted to have their own sound studio. And that is what they decided to manifest and they visualized and visualized and they felt it and they wouldn't allow any thoughts of doubt to enter their mind. And they are now running one of the top sound studios in L.A.

• 37:00Lewis Howes?

  Wow.

• 37:00Rhonda Byrne?

  But not just that, they met their perfect partner. They bought their dream house. They have, you know, two children or they travel every every single thing that they wanted, they received. And that was what was so amazing about all of these people when I was signing books. It wasn't just one thing in their life, but these people were amazing. They did gratitude all of the time or they did affirmations all of the time and they

• 37:36Rhonda Byrne?

  had a complete change within themselves, you know, to be kind, you know, to other people. And so they would think positively, they were aware when negative thoughts came and they would stop them in their tracks. And so for me, I think the biggest manifestation for me was The Secret.

• 38:02Lewis Howes?

  In section four, we have Dr. Tara Swart. What is happening in your brain when you try to manifest? That's the real question. Dr. Tara Swart, who is one of the world's most respected neuroscientists, breaks this down so that you can actually fully understand it. Check this out. If you had to break down the science of manifestation in the simplest terms, with a few steps on how people could start to apply it to their life as a neuroscientist, what would you say that would be?

• 38:33Dr. Tara Swart?

  One of the things I really pride myself on is making complex subjects simple and accessible.

• 38:39Lewis Howes?

  Yes.

• 38:39Dr. Tara Swart?

  Because I genuinely think, what is the point of knowing anything if you can't help somebody to understand it and use it, where it's going to make a really big difference to their life? And I actually received a similar compliment on Instagram today. And I don't, I don't always write back. I don't always have time to write back. But I said, that is the best compliment. Thank you. So I'd like to approach this in a few ways. The practical road to manifestation, which is based on neuroplasticity because of my background. And that means the ability of your brain to change and grow, and therefore your ability to think differently, manage your emotions differently, act differently in the material world.

• 39:24Dr. Tara Swart?

  So based on that, manifestation is really just setting a goal or choosing an outcome and taking the actions that you have to to make that come true. It's as simple as that. But the neuroscience process starts with raised awareness. So, you know, if your life hasn't panned out exactly like you always dreamed it would, or you find yourself stuck, or you find yourself repeatedly making the same kind of mistake, then you need to understand why, because you can't change it if you don't understand why you're not achieving the things you want, or, you know, what's holding you back? What's a barrier? What's an obstacle?

• 40:05Dr. Tara Swart?

  And indeed, what you could do differently. So, once you think, okay, this is not working for me. This is how I would rather my life should be.

• 40:15Lewis Howes?

  This is my vision. This is my dream, my goal. This is the outcome that I want.

• 40:19Dr. Tara Swart?

  Yeah. It's not immediately a case of doing something. So.

• 40:23Lewis Howes?

  Really? It's not about taking action right away?

• 40:25Dr. Tara Swart?

  Not right away. And, well, I, I will like, you know, use you as an example of all the mental rehearsal that you did when you were doing the decathlon.

• 40:33Lewis Howes?

  Yes.

• 40:34Dr. Tara Swart?

  You know, you know what you want to achieve with that decathlon, let's say with the pole vaulting. Then you spend all those hours just like playing it over in your head. Then you actually go out and do the practice pole vaulting and then you compete. So it's kind of like that.

• 40:48Lewis Howes?

  So it's mental rehearsal visualization, then the physical practice, then the moment.

• 40:56Dr. Tara Swart?

  Yeah, and that's, that makes sense for sport, right? And I wanted to use something tangible so that people could get it. But when it might be something more to do with, I want to manage to regulate my emotions better, or I want to stop, um, you know, choosing the same kind of guy where the relationship always ends up badly. Um, then because it's a bit less tangible, the process that I've laid out is start with raised awareness. And then a phase of being not doing, which is focused attention. Which is just notice when you fall back into old habits. Or notice, um, either the thought patterns or the behaviors that have, you know, been repeated over time and led to the same outcome that you don't want.

• 41:42Dr. Tara Swart?

  Once you've gathered some data, because, you know, you have the awareness piece, but then you do kind of want to test, is this really true? Like, you know, is that bad? Or will it change if I do something differently? Then you do the deliberate practice. So that is going out, dating, applying for jobs, or, you know, looking into starting up your own business. Maybe changing some health habits. You actually then do them and see like what changes. So do you sleep better? Do you meet different types of people? Does your network increase? That kind of thing. And the last part isn't so much a stage, but it's accountability. Because as we both know, people set a lot of, you know, good intentions and then don't always achieve them.

• 42:25Dr. Tara Swart?

  So it's either that you can achieve that yourself. Like, I'm really loving this app at the moment called Habit Share. And I've got 12 micro habits on it and I have to like tick them off every day. And I find that if I do that and I focus on three for each quarter of the year, then by the end of the year, I'll have at least 10 habits that I don't even think twice about anymore.

• 42:48Lewis Howes?

  Yeah. What are three of the most important habits you're focused on right now?

• 42:52Dr. Tara Swart?

  Eating more protein, doing more weight bearing exercise and

• 43:01Dr. Tara Swart?

  they're all so good. I'm just trying to pick one. I think one I'm really into at the moment is like listening to chanting or doing a mantra or, you know, doing tapping or like a hypnosis audio. If I do one of those each day, I'm quite pleased with myself.

• 43:17Lewis Howes?

  What is the ultimate mantra to start manifesting more of what you want? And do you need to believe you're worthy of manifesting first before you can achieve it?

• 43:28Dr. Tara Swart?

  Yeah. So I'll pick up on that second point because it is really, it's a really important factor in why people don't achieve the things they say they want because deep down they don't believe.

• 43:38Lewis Howes?

  Yeah. And if you bypass the belief, can you still manifest?

• 43:42Dr. Tara Swart?

  I don't think so or not as well. Let's put it that way. So let's, I'll give you an example of visualization and vision boards. So you know, I call vision boards action boards.

• 43:52Lewis Howes?

  I love that.

• 43:54Dr. Tara Swart?

  And that's to do with you going out into the real world and, you know, doing the actions that will bring your goals nearer to you, not just sitting at home fantasizing about things. But I have come across quite a few people who say, I've been through the magazines. I've cut out the pictures. I know exactly what I want. I can't bring myself to glue them onto the board.

• 44:13Lewis Howes?

  Why?

• 44:14Dr. Tara Swart?

  Well, the first time someone said that, I challenged them really strongly and I said, I think that's because you don't believe you deserve them. So we had a whole conversation about that and it turned out to be true. So a couple of times again, when I've heard people say that, or I I check more now, I'm like, have you actually stuck them down and put it somewhere prominent? Because the putting it somewhere prominent is a risk as well. I don't know if you recall that my first one was in the bathroom of my apartment and I was in a one bedroom, well, I was in a studio apartment at the time, so.

• 44:43Lewis Howes?

  You see it every moment, yeah.

• 44:44Dr. Tara Swart?

  But also anyone that came to my house could see it.

• 44:46Lewis Howes?

  Oh, wow.

• 44:47Dr. Tara Swart?

  You know, it's slightly uncomfortable, particularly in Britain, to be putting, this is how much money I want to earn.

• 44:52Lewis Howes?

  Right, this is the house I want, the dreams, the relationship, yeah, the status, all of it, yeah.

• 44:58Dr. Tara Swart?

  But I said to myself, if you, you know, obviously only my like close friends were coming to my ha- my apartment. If you can't even show it to them, how can you tell yourself that that's what you really want? And that you're going to go out into the world and say, this is what I want. And what was really lovely was actually my best friend's husband came over once. And he obviously looked at it when he was in the bathroom and he said, oh, actually, I've got someone I could introduce you to about, you know, one of the things. So it already helped me that I let other people see it.

• 45:26Lewis Howes?

  Yeah, I've heard different research of like, don't tell anyone your goals, because when you tell someone, you get a false sense of accomplishment of like excitement and joy that it's like. So you don't actually have to go make it happen because you're talking about it. And then I've seen the other side where it's like, let people know about your goals so that they can support you in accomplishing them.

• 45:47Dr. Tara Swart?

  Yeah, I mean, I think letting people know so they can support you is one thing. But talking about it does not necessarily mean that you don't have to go and do something. You can talk about it and go and do something.

• 45:58Lewis Howes?

  Yes.

• 45:59Dr. Tara Swart?

  And because the brain doesn't like uncertainty, you may have some fear around actually grasping opportunities that are related to the things that you want. But if you've done the visualization, if you've talked about it, if you've felt in all your senses what it feels like for it to be true, and you've given gratitude for that, you have set your brain up to be in the love, trust end of the emotional spectrum with oxytocin flowing around your blood, making you much more willing to take a healthy risk, to collaborate, to think outside of the box, and reducing, because it's kind of a seesaw effect, the cortisol, the stress hormone, that will drive your amygdala and hippocampus, the emotional and memory centers of your brain.

• 46:46Dr. Tara Swart?

  In fear or stress, what happens is that your brain will bring to the front of your mind every single time you ask that girl out and she said no. And it will say, don't, don't go and ask anyone out because you remember what happened when you were that geeky teenager.

• 47:02Lewis Howes?

  You got rejected.

• 47:03Dr. Tara Swart?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 47:06Dr. Tara Swart?

  So we have to really set our brains up to override that because that's kind of a survival safety mechanism.

• 47:13Dr. Tara Swart?

  So gratitude moves us from cortisol to oxytocin.

• 47:18Dr. Tara Swart?

  And talking passionately about what you want moves you from cortisol to oxytocin.

• 47:22Lewis Howes?

  Yeah. In section five, we have Dr. James Doty. And have you ever wondered what is happening physiologically when you practice manifestation? Something powerful happens. And in this section, the late Dr. James Doty, who is a clinical professor of neurosurgery at Stanford University and was known for studying the neuroscience of manifestation, breaks all of this down right here. You talk about these networks and vibrations. You mentioned this, the physiology of manifesting. I'm curious, is it more important to be thinking a certain intention or certain ideas

• 48:02Lewis Howes?

  or beliefs, feeling a certain emotions, or physically in a vibration total body to help you manifest?

• 48:11James Doty?

  Well, certainly if you can bring it all together. I mean, that's the ideal, but I think one is, again, we've talked about limited beliefs.

• 48:21Lewis Howes?

  Yes.

• 48:22James Doty?

  You have to understand what causes you to limit your belief. And in some ways, it comes down to self compassion. When you're kind to yourself, then that changes your own physiology. It shifts you from the fear network.

• 48:38Lewis Howes?

  And critical network into compassion, right?

• 48:41James Doty?

  Yes, exactly. And so I think that's an important aspect. And again, as an example, I talk about these different networks. There's the default mode network. There's the salience network, the attention network, and the executive control network. Now, the reason I mention these is.

• 49:01James Doty?

  The executive control network actually gets things done, if you want to put it that way. But if you're driven by fear and anxiety and insecurity, then that limits its ability to do so because you don't have full access, because that's where you have productivity and creativity.

• 49:20Lewis Howes?

  Full access to what?

• 49:21James Doty?

  Your entire, your memories and past experiences. This is what the executive control network contains, and it's shut down when you're fearful or anxious. And so that's one aspect. And then, you know, the other aspect, we talk about embedding your intentions. You know, you have to make that thing you want salient.

• 49:43Lewis Howes?

  What does that mean?

• 49:44James Doty?

  It means it has to be something that touches you, that you really feel like it's there with you and you want it. And the reason I bring that up is because salience is, it activates, if you want to call it, a bloodhound within your head, where it looks around for opportunities for you to manifest. I'll give you an example.

• 50:11Lewis Howes?

  Talk about bloodhound or you're talking about something else?

• 50:14James Doty?

  Uh, not, uh, it's search for things, right? It's a scent, right? Uh, you know, that's what they do for rescue missions, right?

• 50:22Lewis Howes?

  Yes, yes.

• 50:23James Doty?

  Exactly. So what I mean by that is that if you're able to embed your intention, that activates the salience network, which is the bloodhound. And the analogy is as follows. I'm sure you have been to parties and they're loud, and your name will be mentioned and you'll immediately turn, even though it's not loud.

• 50:44Lewis Howes?

  Yeah, you're like, where is this?

• 50:45James Doty?

  Yeah, but that's because your identity is deeply embedded within you, right?

• 50:50Lewis Howes?

  Interesting, yes.

• 50:51James Doty?

  So when you do this in terms of an intention, and I'll give a recent example, I'm working on a new project. And I was at a coffee shop, and again, loud, everybody talking. But I heard somebody specifically talk about the project type of the thing I'm doing.

• 51:09Lewis Howes?

  Uh huh.

• 51:09James Doty?

  So I got up and introduced myself, we connected. And that's how it works because it creates these synchronicities because it's always turned on, listening for opportunities, how it can make your intention happen.

• 51:24Lewis Howes?

  Mm hmm.

• 51:24James Doty?

  And another example is, as a neurosurgeon, you know, I would see patients. Uh, as an example, let's say somebody with hydrocephalus, right? And most people don't know about that. And they'd go, oh, my God, I've never heard of that before. Is that rare? Well, it's not that rare. And obviously, if you're seeing a neurosurgeon, it's not rare to us. But, but what will happen is I'll see them in a few months and they'll come in, like, the most amazing thing happened. I've run into five people with the exact same thing, right?

• 51:50Lewis Howes?

  Right, right, right.

• 51:50James Doty?

  Because they have embedded that.

• 51:52Lewis Howes?

  Interesting.

• 51:53James Doty?

  Uh, and so they're attuned to it. And suddenly, it's like it's everywhere set up.

• 51:59Lewis Howes?

  Yeah. You, you talk about synchronicities in the book. How important is finding and looking for synchronicities when it comes to manifesting?

• 52:10James Doty?

  Well, I think if you do it correctly, they naturally occur over and over again. And you may think they're shocking and how did that happen? But that's because you have made your intention salient. It has grasped your tension network and it is solely focused on having that happen. And once that process occurs, then you engage your executive control network to actually then respond to it.

• 52:37Lewis Howes?

  Interesting. So you set your intention for what you want to create or desire. And then your attention starts to focus on that in the world and your environment. And you start to see where the synchronicities line up. And then you mentioned this thing called the filing clerk, right?

• 52:52James Doty?

  Yes, yes, exactly. And that relates in some ways, first of all, one of the process which we talked about, you know, having the ability on a conscious level to embed your intention, that is to, um,

• 53:06James Doty?

  We call it value tag, right?

• 53:08Lewis Howes?

  Uh huh.

• 53:09James Doty?

  Which makes it important.

• 53:10Lewis Howes?

  Rather than intention.

• 53:11James Doty?

  Yes, yes. And so, once you value tag that, that becomes important in your subconscious. And then the networks start working together.

• 53:19Lewis Howes?

  To look for it.

• 53:20James Doty?

  Yes. Now, what I will emphasize, and I don't want to, you know, completely poo poo every article that's been written about manifesting. You know, I mentioned the issues I have with the secret or other of these self-serving narratives. But the reality is, we know that, uh, what fire, uh, what wires together fires together.

• 53:43Lewis Howes?

  Fires together, yes.

• 53:44James Doty?

  And my point about that is, number one, you have to work. This isn't like, oh, I thought of it, therefore it should happen. It's like anything, and we talked about it earlier. Uh, you know, there's, everybody's manifesting every day, they just do it very inefficiently. Right? So, when you do it efficiently, uh, all of these things, you know, come together to have it happen. This is why, uh, as an example, what this woman in the magic shop did, and this was before, you know, uh, these ideas sort of were out there. She made me write my list of things I wanted to manifest down.

• 54:23James Doty?

  Because again, when you use every sensory organ, then again, you're engaging all of these different things that go into your subconscious. So, you write it down, you read it silently, you read it aloud, you look at it, you visualize, and this is what athletes do, they visualize how it's going to play out, they see themselves in that role. And the more and more you do that, the stronger that wiring gets in your brain, and therefore that increases the chance, uh, of it happening.

• 54:58Lewis Howes?

  Interesting. So she taught you this, you wrote it down, and you started doing these processes?

• 55:03James Doty?

  Oh, I would really do this, like...

• 55:07James Doty?

  Tens of, maybe hundreds of times a day.

• 55:09Lewis Howes?

  Wow.

• 55:10James Doty?

  Over and over and over again.

• 55:12Lewis Howes?

  But it took you a while until you were able, from 12 until you were able to get, you know, a million dollars in the bank, and the mansion, the Ferrari, it didn't happen in four years, I'm assuming, it probably took 15 or 20 years.

• 55:23James Doty?

  Well, sure, but there was a whole process, right?

• 55:25Lewis Howes?

  Yes.

• 55:25James Doty?

  Because, first of all, I had decided to be a doctor in fourth grade.

• 55:29Lewis Howes?

  Right, right.

• 55:30James Doty?

  And this was based on a professions day where a doctor came to our class, and I was so impressed by this person that that second I decided to be a doctor, because he was kind, he was thoughtful, he answered my question, he appeared interested in what I had to say. And so, saying, "If you're poor and you don't have resources," saying, "I'm gonna be a doctor," is easier said than done.

• 55:55Lewis Howes?

  Sure.

• 55:56James Doty?

  And in fact, I did have challenges, but I'll tell you a couple of stories, though, that tells you how the system works, even though you haven't done all the typical things to make it work.

• 56:09Lewis Howes?

  Okay.

• 56:10James Doty?

  And so, I'll tell you how I got into medical school and how I got into college. I was so clueless about college, even though I said I was gonna go to college, I was in a science class, and there was a girl sitting next to me, and she was filling out her college application. I had no clue about that.

• 56:30Lewis Howes?

  You had to apply, or?

• 56:31James Doty?

  Yeah.

• 56:32Lewis Howes?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 56:32James Doty?

  I was sort of waiting till it was supposed to happen.

• 56:35Lewis Howes?

  Sure, sure.

• 56:35James Doty?

  So, I looked at this girl, I asked her what she was doing, she says, "Well, I'm applying to college, and this is the application." I said, "Really?" And she looks at me, she said, "Yeah." And I said, "Well, where are you applying to?" And she said, "UC Irvine." And she looked at me, and she said, "Where are you applied?" I said, "UC Irvine."

• 56:53Lewis Howes?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 56:55James Doty?

  And I said, "I haven't got my application yet." She said, "I have an extra one."

• 57:00Lewis Howes?

  Wow, there you go, and then...

• 57:01James Doty?

  Yeah, and I filled that out, and, you know, I got in. But...

• 57:06Lewis Howes?

  Isn't that interesting, before you go on there, because, you know, you were given the opportunity that you saw that was in front of you. You didn't think beyond other schools, you saw something, you didn't know another process, said, "Yeah, I'm gonna go there as well," and she said, "Here's the application," you filled it out, you got in, and you went there.

• 57:24James Doty?

  Right? Yeah, no, and and that's my point is it was in there. I didn't know how it was gonna play out. Yes. But it played out and it certainly wasn't the typical way. Process. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So then what happened is, you know, I had a lot of struggles. I had to leave college multiple times. As an example, get my father out of jail. Wow. Or to deal with my mother who attempted suicide, which are not pleasant things to have to go through. And so when I applied to medical school, the average GPA to get into medical school was 3.79 at that time, which is, you know, out of four, that's like an A minus. Yeah, sure. My GPA then was 2.53. Wow. And I was not. You and me both. Let's go. Yeah. And I was not gonna graduate from college. Right.

• 58:08James Doty?

  And so I went to the pre-med and and of course, as you know, when you have all these quote unquote friends and you say, I wanna be a doctor. And, you know, many of my friends were pre-med and they were the type of pre-meds who had 3.79. Sure, sure. And, you know, I it was very hurtful because they say, you're never gonna be a doctor. That GPA, what a joke, right? Which, you know, this is your dream, right? It's painful. So anyway, I went to, we used to have to, or you used to have to have an interview with the pre-med committee. So you had to go get an appointment. And then they would write a letter of recommendation for you. So I went to the office. I asked the secretary, I said, I wanna make an appointment for my pre-med letter. Yes.

• 58:52James Doty?

  She looked at me, she said, I I'm not gonna give you an appointment. I said, well, why? You know, she had pulled out my file. She said, because it's a waste of everyone's time. Oh, man. Now, can you imagine a human being telling you that you're a waste of their time? I mean, how hurtful. Very. But I looked at the woman. And I said, you know, I appreciate what you're saying, but I said, I am not leaving here. Until you can be that. Wow. I said, if you want to call security, that's fine, but I am not leaving. So she did. But imagine, uh, so it comes time for my appointment. Now, uh, do you remember these photos we've seen of Putin sitting at one end of a table? He's by himself. Yes, yes.

• 59:35James Doty?

  So I go into this room and I'm at one end of this long table and I'm what 20 years old maybe? And then there are these three people at the other end of the table and, uh, uh, the guy in the middle, he has my file and he looks at me, says, he takes file, lifts it, throws it on the table. And he says, say what you have to say so we can get this over. Really? Oh, yeah. Oh, my goodness. And you, you sit there and, you know, how intimidating and what a jerk, right? So what happened is I looked at the guy and I said, I am not going to let you, uh, turn me into a grade point average. I'm a human being. Wow. So I proceeded to lecture them for about 20 minutes. Oh, my goodness.

• 1:00:20James Doty?

  They were all crying at the end. Because once you show your humanity, they can't turn away from you. They can't objectify you if you're right there in front of them and force them to look at you. Wow. And so what happened is they ended up actually giving me the highest level recommendation. Wow. And, uh, as I was leaving, that secretary actually was in the room. She said, listen, I want you to take this. And it was a tri-fold, uh, brochure for a summer enrichment program at Tulane University in New Orleans for socio-economically disadvantaged students and minority students. And she looked at me and she said, you know, I have to tell you something though. The deadline has passed, but I don't think that will impact you.

• 1:01:05James Doty?

  Wow, right, right, right. So I called the lady and she let me into the program. Uh, and I applied to one medical school and got into one medical school. Wow. And I didn't have a degree. Wow. Now, to show you though, the importance of this is that, um,

• 1:01:27James Doty?

  After her came Katrina, the dean of the medical school went into depression and resigned. Okay, and so they were looking for a new dean. At Tulane. At Tulane, and they had a guy from Harvard, but he wanted an endowed chair. And I don't know if you're familiar with an endowed chair. So an endowed chair is a private donor, donates a lot of money, and it is a chair named after that person. It's one of the highest honors in academic medicine. Okay. Or in university. And the, that money is, is made into an endowment. So then the professor then gets to use it for whatever they want. So it's a very prestigious thing. So I actually ended up endowing the dean's chair.

• 1:02:12James Doty?

  You know, fast forward many years. Sure, sure. Right? Yeah, which was several million dollars. Interesting. So still at Tulane, the dean of the medical school is the dotty professor. Wow. I rebuilt the library after her, Katrina. And so the point of the story is no one has the ability to tell you what you can and cannot do. And in theory, by every quote criteria, I should never have gotten into medical school, right? Yet, I'm one of the largest donors to the medical school. And in fact, they're actually building a dotty center for compassion and medicine at Tulane. That's cool. Yeah.

• 1:02:54James Doty?

  So when we think that things are impossible, when we think that it can't happen, or I don't have the criteria that is usually, don't ever believe anything anyone tells you. If I believed what so many people told me was not possible for me to do, I would never have accomplished anything.

• 1:03:18Lewis Howes?

  In Section 6, we have Gary Zukav, and there are two laws that are the driving forces behind reshaping your dream reality, according to Gary Zukav, who is known for exploring the connection between consciousness, personal growth, and the soul. And in this section, he breaks it all down.

• 1:03:40Gary Zukav?

  The world is not going to change until you change. Now, this is something that will light, red lights, by the hundreds of thousands of any of our listeners who are still using their intellect as their main guidance vehicle through life. The intellect is designed to work closely with the five senses. It analyzes, compares, deduces, and reports the most effective ways to pursue external power, manipulate and control. And like I say, this used to be good medicine. It's now toxic. As we become multisensory, the intellect cannot follow. It's not designed to move into multisensory perception,

• 1:04:25Gary Zukav?

  I mean, five-sensory perception in a way it can't grasp, it can't compute. And to communicate and articulate multisensory perception requires a higher order of logic and reasoning or understanding of the heart. So there are many things that you'll see and be able to articulate as you begin to use your multisensory perception, which is a gift. It's a gift. You don't have to develop it, although we will, like we develop cognition. But all you have to do is unwrap it and use it. Look at your experiences. Sometimes you know things about people that your five senses didn't tell you. You just know. That's a multisensory perception.

• 1:05:10Gary Zukav?

  And you can use all of these things, and you will. And I suggest that you do. And you use all of what we've talked about to answer the big questions that you've just brought up, Lewis. And the last one was very practical. So...

• 1:05:31Gary Zukav?

  Yes, for a practical example from my life and

• 1:05:33Lewis Howes?

  And let me, and let me, I'm gonna ask another question while you answer that, or, because I think this might cue it up, and I think my, a lot of my audience loves this conversation around the law of attraction. And I'm curious, what is your thoughts on attachment versus the law of attraction?

• 1:05:51Lewis Howes?

  And using the intention of love to create something and attract into your life without being attached to the result? What's your thoughts on that?

• 1:06:01Gary Zukav?

  The law of attraction is, is as simple as you, as you described it, or I think as you were describing it. Energy attracts like energy. That's the law of attraction. Remember I told you when I was in the coffee shop talking about whether we create the reality that we're discussing and experimenting with? And that I was with people like me, they were intellectual, arrogant, superior, judgmental. I didn't notice it at the time. I thought they were good guys. If, if, if your experience is that life is a brutal, doggy, dog were, world, that's the world you're gonna, you're living in. If you are loving, that's the world you're going to live in.

• 1:06:45Gary Zukav?

  That's the law of attraction. Uh, and it's accurate. If, if you think I'm gonna use the law of attraction because I'm gonna get more money, recognition, love, sex, fixes, whatever it is, you're gonna draw more people with exactly that energy. That's the law of attraction. Now, as you can see, it's one of the great non-physical dynamics that affect the Earth's going, the other is the law of cause and effect.

• 1:07:14Gary Zukav?

  Which in East is the East is called karma. Karma is a, is a message delivery system.

• 1:07:23Gary Zukav?

  Whenever you act with an intention,

• 1:07:28Gary Zukav?

  that intention creates consequences. And those consequences will affect other people.

• 1:07:35Gary Zukav?

  And when other people experience those consequences, you will experience what they experience. Now let me give you a concrete example. Suppose you betray someone.

• 1:07:47Gary Zukav?

  Like, some people have told me of someone not showing up at a wedding. Others have told us, "I did that." Or, "I wish I had. I was walking down the aisle and I knew I shouldn't be doing this. I knew it, but I did anyway." And now thirty years later, we're getting divorced and I paid the price of not listening to my intuition. And other people have never forgiven someone who didn't show up at the wedding. So these are examples of betrayal. If you do that, you will experience betrayal. But it may not come in the same terms, in the same package that you're expecting. For example, a platoon leader may abandon you in combat. Someone you've gotten to know, your bookkeeper, embezzles from you.

• 1:08:32Gary Zukav?

  You may not recognize the wrapping, but when it comes, you'll recognize what's in the package. The same experience that your choices of intention created in someone else.

• 1:08:44Gary Zukav?

  So that's why we can look at the universal law of cause and effect as a message delivery system. Whenever you choose an intention of love or fear and you act on it, you send a message. And on that message,

• 1:09:03Gary Zukav?

  the address on that message is "Return to sender."

• 1:09:08Gary Zukav?

  And it always comes back to you with precision. It doesn't matter if you move. It doesn't matter if you die. It doesn't matter. You will get the message. The universal law of cause and effect is the universal impersonal teacher of responsibility. And that the company stands side by side with the law of attraction. People who are five centuries say, "I'll believe it when I see it." People who are multisensory know. I'll see it, and I believe it. Let me get, can I give you a story that

• 1:09:43Lewis Howes?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:44Gary Zukav?

  illustrates the law of attraction?

• 1:09:46Lewis Howes?

  Yes.

• 1:09:47Gary Zukav?

  Alright, so it's a couple, young couple is driving through Vermont in foliage, and it's gorgeous. And they see an old man rocking on his porch. So they decide they want to interact, and I stopped the car and I walk up to him and I said,

• 1:10:03Gary Zukav?

  "What are people like who live here?" And the old man said, "Well, what do they like? Where you come from?"

• 1:10:12Gary Zukav?

  And then the couple thought and they said, "Well, they're not very forgiving, they're pretty hard people."

• 1:10:19Gary Zukav?

  Um, they're, they all want what they can get. And the old man said, "Yeah, well, people are, they're pretty much like that here too." Shortly after, another couple drove by the same house, talked to the same old man, and they said, asked the same question. "What do the people like who live here?" The old man asked them the same question. "What do they like? Where you come from?" And they said, "Ah, they're, they're forgiving, they're loving, they're good neighbors. They care about one another."

• 1:10:51Gary Zukav?

  And the old man said,

• 1:10:54Gary Zukav?

  "People here are much like that too."

• 1:10:58Gary Zukav?

  That's the law of attraction. But once you know the law of attraction, you know that your energy is continually attracting people to you that reflect your energy. They're not commenting on it, they're not judging it. It's like the law

• 1:11:16Gary Zukav?

  of cause and effect doesn't comment on your messages, it doesn't discuss them, it just delivers them. And the law of attraction doesn't show you what's better or what's worse, it shows you you. And as we become multisensory. We begin to experience these things directly and to experiment with them.

• 1:11:33Lewis Howes?

  And when you try to live a life that isn't authentic to you, you will always remain stuck. In this section is Tabitha Brown, who is an award-winning actress and bestselling author. And she's going to be breaking down how to have the confidence to live as your true self in order to manifest your dream life. What do you think is the true key to attracting and manifesting exactly what is meant for us in life?

• 1:11:59Tabitha Brown?

  I think walking in your truth will do that, right? Showing up exactly who you are allows the things that belong to you to come. You know, because when we create a different person, as I did for myself, right? When you are pretending to be someone else, God can't bless who you're not.

• 1:12:20Tabitha Brown?

  He can only bless who you are.

• 1:12:21Lewis Howes?

  Right.

• 1:12:22Tabitha Brown?

  So.

• 1:12:22Lewis Howes?

  Wow.

• 1:12:23Tabitha Brown?

  Right, so if I am pretending to be somebody else, what are these blessings that I'm getting? Those aren't mine. That's something I created. But when I just be me, I can get everything he has for me.

• 1:12:36Lewis Howes?

  And the interesting thing, you see people who are blessed for being someone they're not. They're usually depressed, anxious, stressed, or it's never enough. It's never good enough because they still aren't good enough. They're not being who they're meant to be.

• 1:12:51Tabitha Brown?

  They're always chasing something else.

• 1:12:52Lewis Howes?

  Exactly.

• 1:12:53Tabitha Brown?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:53Lewis Howes?

  And that's almost a greater challenge. It's like you're being blessed, but you don't feel enough.

• 1:12:58Tabitha Brown?

  Right.

• 1:12:58Lewis Howes?

  You have everything, but you feel worthless.

• 1:13:01Tabitha Brown?

  Or empty.

• 1:13:01Lewis Howes?

  Empty.

• 1:13:02Tabitha Brown?

  No peace.

• 1:13:03Lewis Howes?

  No peace.

• 1:13:03Tabitha Brown?

  Yeah. Honey, that's the freedom in being true to who you are. It's the best gift you can give to yourself.

• 1:13:10Lewis Howes?

  How can someone know what their truth is when they've been wearing a mask for so long?

• 1:13:15Tabitha Brown?

  Oh, honey, we all, I feel like we know our truth, right? Your truth is in your silence when no one else is around.

• 1:13:26Tabitha Brown?

  Right, it's the things that you say to yourself, it's the things that you do.

• 1:13:32Tabitha Brown?

  Like childhood memories. Before you were taught that you weren't enough. And before you believed it. Right, that's your truth. Sometimes we have to go back to our childlike thoughts because as children, we're free. We're born knowing what we're supposed to do. But we're taught how to have fear. We're taught no. We're taught yes. Right, we're taught how to speak, all the things. But we're also influenced by our parents.

• 1:14:00Tabitha Brown?

  By our friends and peers and different things, sometimes unintentionally, it just naturally happens and you're influenced. But what your truth is, how you feel when you're alone. The things that you used to enjoy doing as a kid that nobody had to tell you to do. Like that's your truth. Right, sometimes that's also your passion and purpose. We have to go back to that before we were taught, oh, no, you can't have that dream. Oh, no, you can't do that because, you know, they don't make money, you should do this X, Y, and Z. You go back to what did you used to love to play when you were a kid? Right, did you love to play office? Did you love to play sports? Did you love to play, you know, did you take care of dolls and treat them like you were a doctor?

• 1:14:41Tabitha Brown?

  Like what was your thing that you did every day without hesitation until somebody told you that that was just a game? Sometimes that's your purpose, that's the thing that you were put here to do.

• 1:14:53Lewis Howes?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:53Tabitha Brown?

  Before somebody told you you couldn't. And so you go back to that and then it's like, oh, that was my truth that I let somebody tell me was a lie.

• 1:15:02Tabitha Brown?

  But that belongs to me. You know, those are your feelings, those are your things that still matter for you. But we have to tap back into it, got to get back to that.

• 1:15:11Lewis Howes?

  And when you were in that bathroom, having that conversation with God.

• 1:15:14Tabitha Brown?

  Mm hmm.

• 1:15:15Lewis Howes?

  What was it again you said?

• 1:15:16Tabitha Brown?

  If you heal me, you can have me.

• 1:15:17Lewis Howes?

  If you heal me, you can have me, and that's powerful. And you said when you left that, something shifted inside of you.

• 1:15:24Tabitha Brown?

  Yeah, I felt lighter.

• 1:15:25Lewis Howes?

  Interesting.

• 1:15:26Tabitha Brown?

  I felt lighter and I just felt different. You know, it's hard to explain that. But every day from that day, it was just like.

• 1:15:37Tabitha Brown?

  Something is happening. I, I have this thing sometimes where um I can walk outside and the air will feel different on my skin. And I know a shift is happening. Like I, I, I know it's coming. I'm like, oh, something's about to happen. It's a weird thing, but I can feel it. I remember I used to work this job. It's working a nine to five in L.A. And we had a warehouse and then we had office space and so I would go, because I was in uh charge of like shipping and coordinating. So I would go to warehouse sometime to take paperwork and then walk back to my office. That was a very long hallway. And this particular day, I had felt the wind shift. Hmm. And so when I had left the warehouse to come back down this long hallway.

• 1:16:21Tabitha Brown?

  I, and I sometimes still do this, but I remember this day, I would close my eyes. And I wouldn't even care about where I was going. I would just walk with my eyes closed this long hallway. Hmm. Because it was just, I could just envision whatever the shift was, like God got something else for me that's coming. And I remember a girl that was, worked, she was coming out of the bathroom. So she was like, standing in the hallway. She was like, Tabitha. Tabitha. She had her eyes closed, walking. Yeah, and I, and it started me. She was like, you were just walking with your eyes closed. I was like, oh, girl, honey, sometime, honey, I do that. Cause I'm just seeing where he's taking me, you know? It's, it's a, it's a weird thing. I, I can't even. I can't explain like why I do some of the things I do. It's also, I feel like it's part of the gift.

• 1:17:06Tabitha Brown?

  Absolutely. You know? But, but after I left the bathroom that day. It was about two or three weeks later, I had this dream. Uh, and in the dream, I, I saw myself on a show, right? But the screen was small and I've told this story many times. And when I woke up, I was like, okay, Lord, reveal that to me because during this time, I'm not really auditioning. I'm not doing any acting. I wouldn't do a stand-up. I wouldn't do any things that would land me on a show. Cause I was not well. And I had a conversation with God and he said, um, start doing videos. And I was like, I'm not doing no videos. Honey, I'm an actress, a broke actress, but an actress nonetheless. Not doing that stuff for videos, then? I ain't doing that. Why would I do that?

• 1:17:48Tabitha Brown?

  And also, because you know, as an actor then, we were always told when I would go to action classes or different things, stay away from social media, they gonna take you serious in Hollywood. And I believed it, okay? And so, the voice was clear, start doing videos. And I was like, Lord, I don't want to do videos. And he was like, listen, when you were out doing stand up, you were trying to get a TV show. And them little, you know, open mic nights, you getting fifteen, thirty people to see you a night. Yeah. You start doing videos, you reach thousands in minutes. And I was like, that's where I got you, because I ain't got thousands of followers to reach in minutes. The voice again, start doing videos. So I was like, I don't want to do that. So then he reminded me, he said, remember in the bathroom, he said, if I heal you, I can have you. Oh. And I said. Do you want to be healed or not?

• 1:18:31Tabitha Brown?

  I was like, oh, he caught me on a bad day that day, but I need to say that.

• 1:18:36Tabitha Brown?

  Did I really say that? Did I really say that? You know, I was having a bad day that day. But that's the only reason I started doing videos. Wow. Right? Because you heard the voice and said, start doing videos. Yeah. And you didn't have a big audience then? No, I had, you know, my Facebook, I had my regular Facebook family for, you know, three to five thousand people, whatever your thing is on Facebook. Um, I might have had like, I don't know, thirteen hundred followers or something on my Facebook actor page. Small, small audience. Oh, as small as you can get it in, you know, probably the same on Instagram. And I was like, Lord, I ain't even got thousands of followers to, to watch me, thousands of minutes? What are you talking about? And I was like, okay, but I also was trying to live a life of obedience. So I was like, okay, I gotta start doing these videos. And then I was like, Lord, what am I gonna do a video about?

• 1:19:21Tabitha Brown?

  So when I first started doing the videos, I was telling jokes and telling stories of, you know, being a mama and a wife. Same stuff I used to kind of tell on stage. And during that time, uh, those same, you know, few weeks, my daughter had came home and told me about the documentary to watch, that she watched at school, what the hell? Because she knew I was sick. We watched it as a family and I decided to do a thirty day vegan challenge. And, uh, after the thirty days, I was like, oh, this, I was feeling better. Ten days, the first ten days, I'd had a headache for a year and seven months in the back of my head, every day. Wow. Every day. I was, I would fall when I would walk, I lost my vision for a day. I, my body was just attacking itself.

• 1:20:03Tabitha Brown?

  First 10 days, my headache disappeared. After every drug, I was getting shots in my head. I was getting everything they offered me. If anything, it was probably making me worse. Nothing worked. 10 days of eating plants. Headache disappeared. And so I told my husband, I was like, I think this is gonna be my life. I think I'm gonna go vegan. And the moment I said that out of my mouth, on that day 30, I was like, I'm not gonna go back. I think I'm gonna be vegan. The same boys that told me to start doing videos, like a hummingbird would fly by your ear. That's how I can explain it. That's how it sounds. It was like, now tell people what you're eating in your videos.

• 1:20:37Dr. Tara Swart?

  Wow.

• 1:20:37Tabitha Brown?

  And I said, oh, Lord, I don't know if I want to do that. Because that makes it kind of permanent. Like, I'm from North Carolina. I'm not doing a challenge. Right, I'm doing, for real, this is my life. I'm gonna be vegan. And I never wanted people to feel like I was trying to shame anybody or anything. And I was just like, I don't know. I had also shaved off all my hair at the time. Because my hair was always long and straight. So I was just doing a whole new, you know, transformation. And so I was like, okay. I just started telling people, y'all, I'm going vegan. And when I find food items, I'm gonna share it with y'all. I'm gonna cook some recipes and share when I find, you know, good vegan food. And that's how it started. And nobody was watching. I was like, it's 33 people on here, Lord, while I'm cooking live.

• 1:21:22Tabitha Brown?

  You said thousands and minutes. Where are they? I would, I would cry. Because I'd be like, I don't know why God asked me doing this. I don't know what I'm doing. And, you know, that was August of 2017. And I think by October, I started, um, I was feeling so much better. I started driving Uber. Because I didn't go back to work. I'd been on disability for over a year. And so I told my husband, I was like, mm-hmm. I was like, I don't want to go back to a nine-to-five. I'm gonna just see what God got out here for me. I'm in L.A. I'm gonna drive Uber, probably pick up a producer or director. They gonna love me. I'll call you from set. That's how I think. I'm like, I'm about to get discovered in my car out here in L.A. On December 30th of 2017, I dropped somebody off by Whole Foods, driving Uber that morning. Went in there and got me a breakfast sandwich.

• 1:22:06Tabitha Brown?

  Because I was still, you know, vegan, new to being vegan. But Whole Foods always got a vegan option. So I was like, I'm gonna go in and get me breakfast. Had never heard of vegan bacon at that time. They had a sandwich in they, you know, the prepared food section and it was called a T L T A. And it was like tempeh bacon and lettuce, tomato, avocado. I was like, oh, I ain't never heard of that. Throw me a little pickle on there, honey, a little onion and stuff. Ate the first half so fast. I was like, oh, wait, I need to do a video to tell people I found a new vegan option. Sat in my car because I was on my Uber break. Did a video, posted it, went on back to drive an Uber. By the time I got home, that video had like 50,000 views. I was like,

• 1:22:41Lewis Howes?

  Wow.

• 1:22:42Tabitha Brown?

  Who watching this video? Next morning, over a hundred something thousand. I was like, I told my husband, I said, I think I'm going viral. He was like, what that mean? I was like, I don't know.

• 1:22:51Lewis Howes?

  People are watching though.

• 1:22:52Tabitha Brown?

  Exactly. He's like, you gonna make any money? I was like, I have no idea. Four days later, Whole Foods reached out and they were like, we saw your video. On Facebook, they DM me. And they were like, we would love to work with you. And I became their brand ambassador for Plant-Based Living, did over 15 campaigns and the rest is history. Yep, honey, ain't drove Uber since, but I will if I have to, but I, I haven't. And my life has been on this journey ever since.
