:07:04
Isn't it amazing that we have options
and potentials that exist...
:07:08
but we're unaware of them?
:07:11
Is it possible that we're so conditioned
to our daily lives...
:07:16
so conditioned to the way
we create our lives...
:07:19
that we buy the idea that
we have no control at all?
:07:25
We've been conditioned
to believe...
:07:27
that the external world is more real
than the internal world.
:07:30
This new model of science
says just the opposite--
:07:33
It says what's happening within us
will create what's happening outside of us.
:07:38
There's a physical reality
that is absolutely rock-solid...
:07:41
and yet... it only--
:07:45
If you wanna put it this way,
it only comes into existence...
:07:48
when it bumps up against
some other piece of physical reality.
:07:53
That other piece may be us, and of course,
we're partial to those moments...
:07:57
but it doesn't
have to be either.
:07:59
You know, it could be just
some incidental rock comes flying along...
:08:04
and interacts with
this fuzzy mass of stuff...
:08:07
and sure enough, it provokes it
into a particular state of existence.
:08:14
There were philosophers in the past
that said, ''Look, if I kick a rock...
:08:17
''and I hurt my toe, that's real.
:08:19
''I feel that. It feels real.
It's vivid.
:08:21
And that means
that it's reality.''
:08:24
But it's still an experience, and it's still
this person's perception of it being real.
:08:29
Scientific experiments have shown
that if we take a person and, uh...
:08:34
hook their brains up to certain PET scans
or computer technology...
:08:38
and ask them to look at
a certain object...
:08:42
and they watch,
certain areas of the brain light up.
:08:46
And then they've asked them
to close their eyes...
:08:48
and now imagine
that same object.
:08:51
And when they imagine
that same object...
:08:54
it produced the same areas
of the brain to light up...
:08:58
as if they were actually
visually looking at it.
