Re-Programming For A New Reality
IV :: Joe Dispenza - Becoming Supernatural
Continuing from the theme of epi-genetics, we naturally went on to Becoming Supernatural: How Common People are Doing the Uncommon by Joe Dispenza, which speaks about how we can go beyond our present reality and forge a new path by mastering our consciousness and emotions, which means we will need to change the way our brain functions, de-programming ourselves of the default (automatic) and unconscious habits and creating new neuro-pathways that are less reactive to our external circumstances, and more in tune to the awareness of the super-conscious mind.
According to Dispenza, because our world is a quantum realm made of energy and data, our bodies are constantly transmitting and receiving electromagnetic frequencies. This means we can change our lives by intentionally changing and redirecting our energies, breaking free from limiting past belief structures and patterns that keep us repeating the beliefs we no longer want for ourselves.
With a well-defined intention and a high-frequency emotion, our thoughts provide the electric charge, and our feelings are the magnetic charge; we produce an electro-magnetic field that is equal to our desired state of being, which then becomes our personal reality by attracting a quantum possibility in the energetic field. Liken to making an order to the Universal field, the more clarity one has, the higher the chances we have of getting our potential outcomes fulfilled, be it recovery from an illness, attracting abundance, or developing a new project or career.
"So your thoughts drive your feelings, and your feelings drive your thoughts, and eventually this loop hardwires your brain into the same patterns, which conditions your body into the past. And because emotions are a record of past experiences, if you can’t think greater than how you feel, this thinking-feeling loop keeps you anchored to your past and creates a constant state of being. This is how the body becomes the mind—or in time, how your thoughts run you and your feelings own you."
The key is to ensure that after we set a clear intention, we have to embody an elevated emotion that matches the feeling of having already received it. According to the book, the body is unable to distinguish the difference between having a real experience (in real life) and a vividly imagined one, which means that by influencing our physical and mental states, we get to create new neural pathways and alter reality (neuroplasticity). This ability to blur the lines and bring about transformation is what he calls "supernatural" abilities, like spontaneous healing or instant manifestation.
"As energy from the lower three centers is activated during the breath and moves up the spine to the brain, a torus field of electromagnetic energy is created around the body. When the pineal gland becomes activated, a reverse torus field of electromagnetic energy moving in the opposite direction draws energy through the top of the head into the body from the unified field. Since energy is frequency and frequency carries information, the pineal gland transduces that information into vivid imagery."
In this book, Dispenza blends neuroscience, quantum physics, and ancient spiritual wisdom to encourage us to harness the power of our mind and body to rewire our brain, heal our body, and create our dream life. In being able to tap into the limitless power of the mind (and the infinite potentials of the quantum field) through meditation and other practices to focus awareness and attention, we are given the keys to becoming the co-creators of our own destiny.
Again, this concept was not new to us, but in re-visiting the book, it gave us something to focus on amidst the less-than-optimistic outlook of the doctors.
Looking back 3 years later, I’m glad to say we never gave up, but to be honest, when we were 6 months into the entire experience and completely exhausted from being at the hospital every single day, terrified of receiving news everyday of his worsening conditions, it was hard to even say "think positive".
It was an added challenge for me because my uncle was mostly comatose for the first 3 months, and mostly irresponsive for the first 6 months. While I did believe that reading to him was making an impact, I also was reminded that IF I said I believed in the quantum field, then by quantum entanglement, my beliefs in my thought field would also bleed into his and start to influence his field, if it was his will. Doing the energy work of setting the right intentions and trusting in the "porous" nature of our bio-energetic fields became a key focus at this time. While this is not at all easy, it is absolutely something I recommend to all caregivers who feel helpless in the situation they find themselves in, because I believe it makes a difference, and in holding space energetically for those we love, we also create space for ourselves to heal and to hope.
"After all, if you focus on the known, you get the known. If you focus on the unknown, you create a possibility. The longer you can linger in that field of infinite possibilities as an awareness—aware that you are aware in this endless black space—without putting your attention on your body, on things, or on people, places, and time, the longer you invest your energy into the unknown, the more you are going to create a new experience or new possibilities in your life. It’s the law."
Disclaimer: The intention for this series is to share key takeaways from the collection of books or research material that came out of my family’s experiences, with the hope that we can provide some comfort to caregivers and patients who are similarly on the healing journey. It is deliberately kept bite-sized because we understand that caregivers have very little time and energy to pour over huge amounts of reading material. The information listed is not medical advice, nor meant to be taken as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
