and what a person
must be responding to--
:52:05
a holographic image--
:52:09
rage, murder, hate...
:52:12
compassion, love.
:52:15
[ Man ] The brain does not know
the difference between...
:52:18
what it sees in its environment
and what it remembers...
:52:22
because the same specific
neural nets are then firing.
:52:25
The brain is made up of tiny
nerve cells called ''neurons. ''
:52:29
These neurons have tiny
branches that reach out...
:52:31
and connect to other neurons
to form a neural net.
:52:34
Each place where they connect
is incubated into a thought or a memory.
:52:39
Now, the brain builds up all its concepts
by the law of associative memory.
:52:43
For example, ideas,
thoughts and feelings...
:52:46
are all constructed and interconnected
in this neural net...
:52:49
- and all have a possible relationship
with one another.

:52:52
The concept and the feeling
oflove, for instance...
:52:55
is stored in this
vast neural net.
:52:57
But we build the concept oflove
from many other different ideas.
:53:01
- Some people have love
connected to disappointment.
- [ Moaning ]
:53:04
When they think about love,
they experience the memory of pain...
:53:07
sorrow, anger
and even rage.
:53:10
Rage may be linked to hurt,
which may be linked to a person...
:53:13
which then is
connected back to love.
:53:17
We build up models of how
we see the world outside of us.
:53:22
And the more information that we have, the
more we refine our model one way or another.
:53:27
And what we ultimately do
is tell ourselves a story...
:53:31
about what the outside world is.
:53:33
Any information that we process, any information
that we take in from the environment...
:53:39
is always colored by the experiences
that we've had...
:53:44
and an emotional response that we're having
to what we're bringing in.
:53:48
Who is in the driver's seat when we control
our emotions or we respond to our emotions?
:53:53
We know physiologically that nerve cells
that fire together wire together.
:53:58
If you practice something over and over,
those nerve cells have a long-term relationship.
