[ Man ] If the brain is processing
400 billion bits of information...

:11:08
and our awareness
is only on 2,000--

:11:10
- [ Hits Ground ]
- that means reality's happening
in the brain all the time.

:11:14
It's receiving that information,
and yet we haven't integrated it.

:11:23
The eyes are like the lens.
:11:25
But the tape that's really
seeing is the back of the brain.

:11:29
It's called the visual cortex.
It's right back here.

:11:31
It's like this camera
and its tape.

:11:34
Did you know that the brain imprints
what it has the ability to see?

:11:40
This is important.
:11:42
For example:
:11:45
This camera is seeing
a lot more around me...

:11:49
than what is here...
:11:52
because it is-- has no objection
and no judgment.

:12:02
The only movie that's playing
in the brain...

:12:06
is what we have
the ability to see.

:12:11
So is it possible our eyes,
our cameras...

:12:13
see more than what our brain...
:12:16
has the ability
to consciously project?

:12:22
[ Woman ]
Well, the way our brain is wired up...

:12:25
we only see what
we believe is possible.

:12:28
Um, we match patterns
that already...

:12:32
uh, exist within ourselves
through conditioning.

:12:35
So, a wonderful story
that I believe is true...

:12:39
is that when the Indians--
the Native American Indians...

:12:43
on the Caribbean Islands saw
Columbus's ships approaching...

:12:48
they couldn't see them at all.
:12:50
Because it was so...
:12:52
unlike anything they had ever seen before,
they couldn't see it.

:12:56
[ Man ] When Columbus's armada
landed in the Caribbean...

:12:58
none of the natives
were able to see the ships...
