   A great workshop, as always. Always so much to learn. Hopefully David will post part two soon. Here is a much more accurate transcript of the video. As always I have filled in a few words here and there to close some loops. I have also added a few transcriptionist notes to clarify a sentence, but I remain faithful to as close as word-for-word as I can.

   Part 1
   Running time 56:29

   [0:00]
   Are we green? Alright.

   So a client came in and this was my first hypnotherapy certification. Oddly enough called, “Renegade Hypnosis.”

   Most of the hypnosis work I do is based on neuroscience, not folklore. So like I said, when I say that you don’t have to believe in the stuff I’m going to teach you, you just have to follow the instructions, I mean what I say.

   But a client came in, and I didn’t know who he was. The first day and a half I basically throw people into doing inductions.

   [0:31]
   Not slow, long progressive relaxation inductions, but walk up and “SLEEP!” inductions.

   Right? The most challenging, most terrifying aspect of hypnosis, when they’re being trained is the concept of instant and rapid inductions. So we get you doing that right off the bat.

   You find out that hypnosis is ridiculously easy. OK. Because human beings are trance machines. We can’t function. We can’t do 99% of the things we do without some modulation in our perceptional filters.

   [1:04]
   Hypnosis is the most natural thing on the planet. It’s just any process that leads to a shift in consciousness. Right. That The primary difference between self hypnosis, hypnosis, and meditation is that when you’re doing meditations, more often than not, is you’re in a receptive state. You’re trying to receive something from a transpersonal source.

   [Student question from the floor]
   But isn’t hypnosis involved with the subconscious, not than the conscious mind.

   [1:30]
   David: Absolutely! But everything you do involves your subconscious.

   It’s like that joke by Emo Philips. Do you remember him? He was a comedian, or a comodian, back in the early 80’s. He was very intellectual, very geeky kind of
   He had this one line, and it really kind of sums up the whole conscious unconscious dynamic.
   He goes, “You know… I used to think … the brain was the most fascinating organ in the body.”
   and then I realized “duh!” look who’s telling me that.

   [2:00]
   That dynamic if you know if you replaced the word brain with conscious mind/unconscious mind, you’d have pretty much , the dynamic that the average human being lives in. You see, your conscious mind, as loud as it shouts, and as much as it would like to think it is in control, and it knows what is going on, and it knows where all the problems are.

   Your conscious mind is the least informed and the last to know. Anything. Period. End of story.

   [2:33]
   As a hypnotherapist. As an energy healer. As a neuro linguistic programmer. I’ll give you my pedigree in a few minutes after we get a few more bodies in here. The first thing you learn … if you’re going to do this work professionally …. is that everyone who comes into your room … for treatment of any kind,… physical, mental, emotional, … acute or chronic . The minute they tell you where the problem started, … they are lieing to you.

   [3:00]
   Because if they consciously knew where the problem started, they wouldn’t be sitting in the chair. So when you peel back the layers of the unconscious mind. You talk to the boss, as I like to put it.

   There are only two entities who know where that problem started. That’s God, and your unconscious mind. Now sometimes God takes my calls, and sometimes not, but the unconscious mind is always home and he always answers. Or she always answers. So when you talk to the boss…. Yes?

   [3:30]
   Question from student: Do you have to get into that meditative state to talk to your higher mind?

   David: Define meditative state.

   Student: Like do you have to get into a focused state. So that you can receive messages. I’m talking about receiving now. You know from your higher mind. Or from the universe.

   David: Absolutely. Absolutely. The problems that we have when we start talking about things like meditation,

   [4:01]
   and hypnosis, which is a loaded word by the way, or NLP. Because actually in essence we are talking about something else. Something we don’t even think about.

   [On White board]
   • MEDITATION
   • HYPNOSIS
   • NLP
   • Qi Gong TRANCE
   • Energy Work
   • Learning
   • Creating

   Or it’s there, but it’s hidden in plain sight. All of these things have one thing in common.

   Qi Gong, and energy work. Right.

   [4:31]
   Learning [went on white board] Creating

   All of these things have one thing in common. The one thing that unifies all of them.

   TRANCE … What is trance.
   It’s a shift in the perceptual filters you have in place. In other words, consciousness.

   [5:05]
   What are you paying attention to? What are you NOT paying attention to? What information is available to you? What information is NOT?

   Alright? Tonight’s workshop is entitled “Secrets of Personal Transformation.” Now it can be any kind of transformation you want. Whether it’s about the Law of Attraction, manifestation, You want to attract the right kind of gal or guy into your life.

   [5:32]
   You want to learn more about becoming more spiritual, more evolved. All of those transformations are on the table because they are all mediated by the same set of processes. Does that make sense? Right? It’s trance. Your ability to shift your consciousness, your set of perceptual filters, the kinds of information and the breadth of information that you have access to. That’s what a trance state is.

   [6:01]
   Trance states in general …… Hey come on in Lynn …. Trance states in general have only two components. Only two. When you have these two components, the proportions of them, you have what hypnotists classically call, “DEPTH OF TRANCE.”

   Ut, this must be one of those vision pulse markers.
   [fading out and drying up and not working, goes to find a new one]

   Because they’re always dried out and they never work.

   [6:31]
   Alright. Depth of trance.
   Depth of Trance really has two things.
   It has absorption, ….. in the experience.
   Combined with a continuing narrowing of focus of attention.

   [7:01]
   To the degree that you have it, you have trance. Ok? Now how does this all work in terms of our day to day experience?
   Let’s go back to neuroscience. Anybody here ever hear of a guy named Paul Ekman?
   If you have raise your hand. If you haven’t you really should study his stuff. Ekman has really done a tremendous amount of … {jet plane flying over} …man its loud today….

   They’re all coming to get me. [laughter from class]

   “He’s giving away universal secrets, let’s bomb him.”
   [more laughter]

   [7:32]
   Right? Oh and by the way, if politically incorrect language bothers you, or offends you? Leave now. If straight talk offends you. Leave now. OK. I’m a no BS kind of guy. I like to have fun with what I do. Even if I’m broaching very serious topics. When you hear me talk about things like terminal cancer. Or Multiple Sclerosis. OK. They’re heavy topics. But you’ll never actually beat them by being too serious.

   [8:02]
   Seriously. Ok. Learn to be playful with what you do, and then you’ll have a tremendous amount of power over your life.
   The problem is that most of us take ourselves way too frickin seriously for our own good. And the more serious you get, the more resources you shut off. OK.

   So we’re talking about Depth of Trance, conduct of absorption, and focus in the experience. Where was I going with this? Anybody remember? I open looped myself.

   [8:30]
   I do that a lot you’ll find. Which is why questions frustrate people when they watch my YouTube video.

   Student: Paul Ekman

   David: Oh! Thank you. Paul Ekman. Paul Ekman wrote many books as a matter of fact. Have you ever heard of a show called “Lie to Me?” How many of you have ever heard of that show, raise your hand. If you haven’t, fill in every season, even though anything with Tim Roth in it eventually gets very sick and twisted. The information and the science was real … Paul Ekman was the consultant for that show.

   [8:58]
   How to use facial expressions and micro expressions, and body language cues. To the terminal eyes. But that a lot of people don’t realize is that Ekman is one of the world’s leading experts on emotion.

   In his book, “EMOTIONS REVEALED” he talks about a concept called the EMOTIONAL REFRACTORY PERIOD. The Emotional Refractory Period is this behaviour that your nervous system does without your permission and without your consent.

   Now when I use the term refractory period, how many people here actually know what the hell I’m talking about? [Show of hands]

   I see two hands. So maybe I should explain that. Right?

   [9:32]
   Usually when I talk about a refractory period the first thing people think about is the ejaculatory orgasmic refractory period. Right. For those of you who don’t know what that means. That means that after you have an orgasm whether you’re male female, doesn’t matter, it’s that period of time where you can’t really function again. Kind of got to reset yourself.

   The emotional refractory period is a little different. But it has a time aspect to it that we need to understand.

   [10:00]
   Anybody here ever been in a argument with somebody. [show of hands]
   Kind of a generic question, right? Have you ever been in an argument with somebody, … and you go through this knockdown dragout, whatever it was… And you resolve the argument. And then for the next ten, fifteen, twenty minutes, anything you say to them, pissed them off again.

   Some are going [shaking their heads no]
   Some are going [nodding their heads yes]

   Welcome to the wonderful world of the emotional refractory period.

   [10:32]
   You see the mechanics behind the emotional refractory period is that whenever you have a shift in the emotional state or consciousness. That emotional state is like a little lifeform that lives inside of you. This isn’t metaphysics. This isn’t the Law of Attraction mumbo jumbo. This is neuroscience. What happens literally is that the brain, the nervous system seeks to maintain a sense of equilibrium.

   [11:01]
   And whatever state it is in … it doesn’t want to change it. So what it will do, for a set amount of time, is it will change what you consciously pay attention to in your environment, both in terms of the words people will say, the possible connotations of it, and it will bring the aspects of the communication of the environment or the context that you are in and twist it in such a way that it reinforces or retriggers the state that you’re already in.
   Now as little kids we already know this.

   [11:30]
   Partly, because we come home and we want to something at school or we want to do something with our friends. First words out of our mouths is, “is mom in a good mood?”

   Because we know if she’s in a good mood, she’s more than likely to look upon our request benevolently. Right? But this is how your mind works. You see, the conscious mind works, … the part that thinks, … that rationalizes, has no concept of what reality really is. All it gets is a distilled, spun, distorted view, based upon the perceptual filters percolating below the threshold of conscious awareness.

   [12:05]
   How many people are very spiritual? Raise your hands if you think you’re spiritual, or you believe you’re spiritual. Cool. That’s alright, I’m spiritual. Right. How many people here wanna be…. What’s the word I’m looking for?

   How many people here think you’re rational? [one students hand goes up]
   Boy are you in for a shock. {laughter from class}

   Is it hot in here?

   {several students: } Yeah

   Can we get somebody to crank the A/C a little bit?

   [12:31]
   James, can you tell Tracy, to tell Florente to …. Thank you.

   Has any of you ever gone shopping for a car? {show of hands}
   Some of us more so than others, right?
   Now did you ever notice, and some of you may noticed this, some of you not so much. Did you ever notice that when you go and look at a car and you decide what you want, and you’ve done your research, you’ve picked out the color, you’ve gone from dealership to dealership looking for that best deal on that car in that color.

   [13:01]
   And you finally get around to buying the car. Right? And you’re driving it home and you’re happy as a clam. And Mo Fo on the planet, bought the same car, on the same day. What’s up with that?

   Perceptual Filters. How many people here believe in the Law of Attraction? [show of hands] OK.

   The Law of Attractions states that you will pull things into your world, into your reality, that are in harmony with the vibration that you put out there.

   In other words the dominant thoughts you hold attract things into your life.

   Here is the rub, ladies and gentlemen. Your dominant thoughts are not what you think they are. Your dominant thoughts are the unconscious beliefs, emotional surges, percolating below the threshold of your unconscious mind.

   They are NOT the things that you can volitionally pay attention to.

   [14:00]
   So when you cease to do the law of attraction or utilize the law of attraction, you’ve got to clean out the crap that’s percolating below the threshold of consciousness, the fire wall of the conscious mind.

   Because if you don’t, it’s going to taint, it’s going to color, it’s going to twist, what you think you’re getting. In ways you can’t possibly begin to imagine.

   [14:24]
   So as we talk about transformation.
   So as we talk about Law of attraction.
   We talk about getting further in our lives or healing our bodies.
   We are talking about a lot of the same mechanisms.

   OK? Which is a subject of tonight’s workshop.
   Workshop or play shop, as the case may be, because I like to have fun.

   Well I guess we’re going to go ahead and get started, because I’m already ten minutes into this.

   [14:44]
   My name is David Snyder and I want to welcome you all to NLP Power /[slash] all things San Diego. However you came here. It’s because you were meant to be. Tonight we’re going to have a lot of fun. We’re going to learn a lot of cool stuff. My job here today is to teach you a little bit about how to run your own brain.

   [15:00]
   How to run your own body. Because they are NOT in fact separate entities.

   I’m going to introduce you today to some concepts that bridge both Hypnosis, Meditation, Energy healing, neuroscience, social psychology. We’re going to put it all together and present to you a model that you can begin to work with. OK?

   Now if the scope of what I want to talk to you about is this, {shows hands spread very wide} we probably only have time for this, {shows two fingers about an inch apart}.

   [15:32]
   So my goal here is to take you as far as I can, in the time that we have, and then for those of you who want to go further, I’ll show you where you can go to get more.

   For my edification, so I know how to spin what’s going on tonight:

   How many people here tonight are coaches, client, energy healers, raise your hands.
   Ok, Great!

   How many people here have aspirations to be?
   Alright.

   [16:01]
   How many people here are just here to fix your own crap?
   Then you’re in the right place. OK.

   Crap being a technical term that I haven’t figured out a really cool acronym for.
   Unlike Shit, S. H. I.T. Secret Hidden Influence Technologies. {laughter]

   Alright. Let’s talk about how your mind really works. Ok. Let me find my board eraser.

   The first thing we need to talk about is identity. In other words when we’re talking about the Law of Attraction. We’re talking about manifesting, or getting over illness. We need to talk about who we are as a person. And not just who we are as the worlds sees us, but how we see us.

   [16:58]
   Ok, Anybody here try to get something done and just ran into one kind of resistance after another? Anybody here keep attracting the same shit into their lives over and over again? [show of hands] Right?

   You ladies, the guys face changes, but the attitudes and behaviors stay the same? Right? You get so far and then the same thing happens, it’s just different players?
   Right? How does that happen? It’s because patterns repeat at the unconscious level. OK.

   [17:29]
   John Asteraff, who is featured in the Secrets says that, ” You can not out earn or out perform anything that is in conflict with your own self image.”

   Ok. So if you don’t think you deserve it. Or it’s in conflict with how you see yourself. How you see yourself as. How the voices in your head talk to you. How many people here have a voice in your head that says nasty shit to them? Raise your hands. How many have more than one?

   [18:01]
   How many are lieing? [laughter] All of you have them. I promise you. OK.

   Student from the floor: Your self image is your ego, right?

   David: Not necessarily. Ego is a part of who you are. I’m not going to get all Freudian on you. Caused he was a messed up dude. In NLP circles we call him, “Sick Man Fraud.” [more laughter] Yeah he was a psycho-sirasis. [more laughter]

   I got to watch that, because it will come back to haunt me. But hypnotherapist are no different. Hypno- the-rapist. Most of you who will make that joke are hypnotherapist, right? And they don’t realize that the exact same thing can be said about their profession. Ok.

   [18:36]
   I’m an equal opportunity hater. Get over that.

   The interesting thing abut the human condition. About our brain is, amongst all of gods creatures, except for maybe dolphins and the whales, we’re not sure about them yet, we are the only ones with the capacity for reflective thought. We have the ability to have thoughts about our thoughts.

   [19:00]
   To have feelings about our feelings. And it’s that beautiful aspect of us, that more often than not, screws us up. OK. Because we can have multiple thoughts about our thoughts that are in conflict with each other. And that’s usually why most people wind up in my chair. Because either the identities or thoughts that they have are in conflict. Or one level of programming or learning that they have received is in conflict with another.

   [19:34]
   Most people here have a reptile brain…. You all are aware that you have three (3) brains right?

   You have your reptilian brain. (the Paleocortex) Which is the oldest part of you.

   You have your “Limbic System” (The Mammalian Brain) or your mammalian brain.

   And you have the newest brain, which is your NEOCORTEX. This is the seat of your rational and analytical functions.

   [20:02]
   This is also the part of you that thinks in language. We call it the “rational lieing brain.”

   Because between the neocortex and these two other parts of your brain is a firewall. And that firewall isn’t solid, it’s a set of filters. But the problem that we have is that most of behaviors we generate, we generate for primal reasons. To satisfy a fundamental primal drive.

   [20:30]
   But sometimes the desire and the urge to act on them is repugnant even to our self image. So what happens is, is that our reptilian brain generates an emotion that allows us to take action. Have you ever noticed that whenever you don’t take an action on something…

   [strange speaker noise, feedback]

   They’re coming to get me. You never take a …. [squealing from the speaker]
   Maybe I should change topics? What do you think? [Squealing from speaker]
   [laughter] You ever notice…. [squeal] god …

   [20:01]
   Ok. We’ll work with this as best we can. Have you ever noticed that you never act on a thing until you have an emotion about it? In NLP we say all [squealing] is that a speaker behind me or something?

   Students: yeah, its that one right there. [pointing]

   David: Ok. I’ll stand over here and see what happens.
   In Neuro Linguistic Programing we say that all indigent strategies ends in K. We have some kind of feeling internally, or we take some kind of action externally. We’re going to talk a lot about your body today.

   [21:32]
   Because when you want to do really rapid powerful energetic change. When you want to do really powerful emotional change. You’ve got to get the body involved. You can’t willpower your way through things. We’re not built that way.

   [squealing] Cover your ears….. [more noise from headset and speaker] Can we get Florant in here and see if we can do something about the sound system.
   Alright.

   [22:00]
   Student: Does this happen often?

   David: No actually. Not too often. …. I’m not walking in front of anything, so I’m not sure what’s causing the feedback in the sound system.

   Student: It sounds like it is off now.

   David: Is it off?

   Students: Yeah, temporarily anyway.

   David: For now anyways. It’s a conspiracy. It’s the technician effect. Everything goes bad until the tech shows up and then you look like a moron. Right? OK.

   Let’s talk about your identity real quick. When you want to manifest something, you’ve got to get your identity solid. You’ve got to remove the filters that say you can’t have it.

   [22:34]
   Let’s play a little game shall we? I want you all to think about something that you want to manifest in your life. Something that’s just …. You know… go for it …reach for the stars. Alright.

   Close your eyes. Good. Now what I want you to do is I want you to image that there is a big picture of it floating in space somewhere in front of you. I want you to reach out and touch that picture. Just reach out and touch it. Take it in both of your hands. Trace the edges of it.

   [23:00]
   Frame it with your hands so you know how big it is. Now as you do that here’s what I want you to do. I want you to notice that there is a feeling connected with the picture. To somewhere in your body. Point to that feeling. Physically reach to where you feel it.
   Take it in both of your hands and double the size of it.

   Yeah!

   Notice what happened to the feeling. Oooo. [it got much bigger and better]

   [23:29]
   Now take it and make it half the size. Now make it half as small again. What happens? Some of you are going eewww. Some of you are going great. Right. Now bring it back to the normal size.

   Now make it as big and as juicy as you want it to be and leave it that size for now.

   Ok. Now open your eyes and look up here. Now I’m going to ask you a weird question. As you were thinking about that thing you want. That you were all excited about.

   [24:00]
   How many of you noticed in the background there was these little icky feelings trying to poke their heads in. Right?

   Some of you were just overwhelmed by the size of your picture, so you didn’t notice anything else. But those little icky feelings. They’re like little nuisances. That you just want to ignore.

   Those are the dominant thoughts lodged in your unconscious mind. The parts of you that are in conflict with that outcome. OK. Your dominant thoughts are largely unconscious.
   That’s why they are dominant. Because if your heart only beat when you paid attention to it, you wouldn’t be here very long. Right?

   Your unconscious mind is monitoring every aspect of your life. It does run your life ladies and gentlemen. Get over it.

   Truly get over it. Our job as rational beings, …

   [25:01]
   I hate that word by the way, … is to become progressively more self aware. To progressively open up the communication between all levels of our mind so that information flows freely and clearly. Right?

   YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND IS ALWAYS THE LEAST INFORMED AND THE LAST TO KNOW.

   So one of the things that we want to start to do is…. The first thing that we really want to do is … is we have to clean up our shit.

   That word is becoming very popular now throughout our YouTube channel and everything. Every now and then I get an email from somebody saying, “you’re right, we got to clean up our shit.”
   Shit being a technical term by the way.

   OK. We’ve got to remove the blocks. We’ve got to remove the limitations. We got to start to really go …. literally run into a burning building, that everyone else wants to run out of. Because that’s what your reptile brain wants you to do. It wants to run towards pleasure and away from pain.

   [26:01]
   And if you want to stay an animal, keep doing that. But if you want to transcend yourself. If you want to become of what you are potentially capable of being. That everytime you have a polarity response, either towards or away from, you must go into it. You must explore it. Now when it is a pleasurable experience, then we don’t have a problem. Right? Oh that feels good I’m going to go do that. We’ll explore that all day long. Right.

   [26:31]
   The problem is when we have a less than positive experience, then we just want to forget about that and move back to the pleasure. Well that’s designed to keep you an animal. Just an animal. Ok. It’s what go you here. It got you through millions of years of evolution, so you owe it a debt. It’s one of your best friends.

   But if you want to tap into your potential. If you want to really manifest , whether it’s a new car. A new life. A new mate.

   [27:00]
   You’ve got to be willing to run into the places most people instinctively run away from. But you can’t do it blind. You’ve got to have a set of techniques. You’ve got to have to understand the terrain that you’re working with. Does that make sense?

   By the way, this means yes. This means no. This means I know the answer. This means I don’t. What does this mean? Oh shit don’t call on me. [laughter]

   [27:30]
   By the way I sometimes talk way too much,

   Students: “Sometimes?” [laughter]

   David: Sometimes….[laughing] so if you need to go the restroom before I have the presence of mind to give a break, just go. If you’re hungry or thirsty… we have tons of coffee and chocolate in the back. Eat all you want. Tonight it’s OK. Because tonight is about change.

   And one of the fastest way to effect change your neurology, is through a neuro-transmitter called “OXYTOCIN.”

   [28:06]
   How many people here know what oxytocin is? Raise your hand.

   If not, it’s also known as the “cuddle” hormone. OK.

   The more cuddle hormone you have, the faster your nervous system rewires itself.

   Three primary sources where you can get lots of oxytocin.

   • Big long hugs.
   • Lots of chocolate.
   • And orgasms.

   [28:33]
   Now tonight’s class is not about orgasms. Sorry guys. [laughter]

   But there is lots and lots of potential in the ability to feel ecstatic, on demand, for long periods of time. The more oxytocin that you put into the system, the more plastic your nervous system becomes. The more rapidly old ingrained thought patterns become changed, become malleable.

   [29:04]
   The metaphor I like to use is…. Anybody here know what chicken wire is? It’s that easy to bend wire netting. Think of the nerves that run through your brain and around your brain as this chicken wire mesh lattice work. And it’s in a certain shape. And the more oxytocin that I put into the system is like I take a hot blowtorch and heat the wire and make it nice and soft and bendable.

   [29:31]
   And then I change the shape. And then when the metal cools, the new programming sets in. That’s what oxytocin does when it sets into your system. OK. So a lot of the protocols that I teach are about teaching people how to feel really freaking good. And then do the programming work.

   Student: Why use chocolate?

   David: Because it has more natural oxytocin in it than any other substance that I can think of.

   [30:01]
   So I just ply you with lots of chocolate and sugar, and candy and I get you all excited. I have devious in my ways. {laughter}

   You have three brains. Every thing about your life is designed to satisfy primal drives. The problem is that when those primal drives activate many times the way we want to express them is in conflict with our socialization or our self image. OK.

   [30:28]
   So what happens is that the reptile brain generates an emotion that causes us to take an action. But the conscious (rational) mind has to come up with a rationalization, a reason for doing it that is acceptable to the self, and society.

   Anytime you meet resistance in any kind of change work, is because you have encountered a conflict with one of three areas of your life. Are you ready for this. This is the root of all resistance that you’ll ever face.

   [31:00]
   Personal or in other people.

   • We instinctively resist anything that is in conflict with how we see ourself.
   • We instinctively resist any message that is in conflict with how we think other people will see us.
   • We instinctively resist anything that conflicts with what we know to be true.

   The example that like to give is if I was a five year old kid, and since the time I was three mommy taught me that this is a square, [draws a circle on the board] and then I go to kindergarten and the teacher says, “David, show me a square.” and I go, “here teacher.” and she goes, “No David, that’s not a square, this is a square.” And I go, “No, my mommy told me that was a triangle.” [class laughs]

   [32:05]
   It sounds really basic. Right. But whatever gets in first becomes the standard by which all things are measured by.

   Your unconscious mind does NOT sort for what is right or wrong.
   It does not sort for true and false.

   It sorts for what is familiar.

   It doesn’t sort for good and bad.

   One of the things about the kinds of work that I do is that people come to me for all kinds of things, everything from how to do a backflip better, to how to be more confident when speaking to a group.

   I get a disproportionate amount of ladies who come in, so please avoid getting wigged out with what I’m about to tell you. I can’t tell you the number of times people come in to me to do something better and wind up reliving a traumatic past life experience that has nothing to do with why they came in.

   [32:57]
   Because it is driving your behaviours. OK. The further back in time you go, the more powerful the memories become. And they become, like the filter through which we sort our reality. When you have somebody who is brought into this world and they have two parents who love them deeply, and they’re held, and they’re caressed, and they’re told that they’re loved. Over time because that was their first, because the word love, was connected to those feelings, that’s what we’ll sort for.

   [33:33]
   Not because love is good. OK. Or pleasurable. But because it was there first. If you’re brought into a home, or an environment, where the caregivers around you, the people you view as authority figures. Remember we come into this world with one big frigging empty harddrive.

   We do NOT have a sense of self. That develops later.

   [34:00]
   And it makes perfect sense when you think about it. How does a baby get formed? It forms as a set of cells in a body. There’s no separation there. So until about the age of five to ten, is when our conscious mind has enough information to actually develop and become active. Up until then we are who the people in our environment are.

   [34:32]
   There is no difference. We identify with the people in the environment. They become imprinted on us. Those imprints don’t go away, but you can change them, don’t get me wrong, because otherwise we wouldn’t be here right? But they become layered with our new experiences. But beneath it all are those imprints those identities that came from outside of us.

   [34:58]
   And were overlaid onto our consciousness.

   Student question from floor: What about the states of genetic instinct.

   David: What about them?

   Student: Well if we’re like harddrives then where do the instincts come from?

   David; Well we have genetic memory. I can tell you first hand that we have genetic memory. But the identity that we have…. The genetic memory just gives us a predisposition, unless we do something to activate it. Which is a whole other can of fish. But it is a good question.

   [35:25]
   I actually had a transplant patient. She was a type 1 diabetic. A big health nut. A sweet lady. And she started to have organ failure. And she had been coming to me for some emotional issues and she had finally gotten on the list for a transplant. And she went and had surgery. I guess it was for a spleen and I think, a kidney. A couple of weeks after she got out of the hospital her behaviour started to change. She began eating hotdogs, craving beer and pizza. Real junk food. I mean this woman was a type 1 diabetic, you don’t have a lot of leeway in terms of what you eat. And so she came into see me and we did a regression and it turns out the person she got the organs from was a real garbage gut, and the memories from her organs were interacting with her system. And she was getting these cravings and these behaviours that she couldn’t explain or understand. Weird. Right?

   [36:30]
   So when you start talking about genetic memory, past lives, all those things… when you’re a hypnotist, you see it all. And you see it in ways so that you start to have a real open mind on certain things. But not so open that your brains drop out.

   Now getting back to identity. Your unconscious mind sorts for what is familiar. If you’re brought into a world, where the dominant authority figures in your life say they do things like spank. And the words you hear are like, “I’m a drunk. You’re a drunk. Our kids are going to be drunks.”

   [37:11]
   No you’re over here playing with your blocks and right and there is no filter. We model what we see. If we get things like a backhanded slap, “I did that because I love you.”

   Well guess what. That’s what’s familiar. It’s not about good or bad. It’s because we don’t have a clear concept of good or bad, or right or wrong, in spite of what we consciously learn later.

   How many people know people who constantly date the same kind of person.
   [show of hands] [laughter]
   Right?

   Who is always bad for them. And every time they hook up with someone who’s a catch. They find some way to screw it up. BINGO.

   [37:57]
   When we come in from the time we’re conceived, up to about five (5) years of age, the information that we are exposed to, …. most of it is a first experience. It becomes the standard by which everything else is measured.

   Familiar or not familiar. Not good / bad. Familiar or not familiar.

   It’s only later as time goes on that we develop those other distinctions

   Yes sir?

   Student from class: I couldn’t make out his comment and question

   David: A lot of us tend to become more of who we are, as we get older. That’s kind of a weird saying.

   [39:04]
   But thought patterns,… that chicken wire in our brains, … the more we practice certain thoughts, … it just like building muscle in a gym…. The more developed those neurological connections become.

   That’s why the oxytocin process is so important. Because if we can go in and start to dissolve it, make the system more plastic, more malleable. Then we can change…

   [39:28]
   Our neurology, we can change how we think.

   How many people here have had a session with me, or worked with me personally for an issue? Raise your hands.

   Would you be willing to stand up and share kind of some of the things about how these experiences affected you? Go ahead I’ll give you the headset/mic.

   Student: sure

   David: Gimme a kiss big boy.

   Student: mmmmmm

   [laughter]

   David: Or just talk into the mic. What’s your name? John?

   John: yes

   David: oh, he brought candy.

   [39:57]
   John: uuh for me specifically I was into the Ashberger, mild autism, social anxiety, category. I’m not sure what I’m going to say now.

   David: Tell them about some of the things that we changed in a snap (immediately) … or in like just a couple of minutes.

   John: Right so, the things that changed, being comfortable around people. This is one of the things I haven’t been able to put into words effectively. But within moments, kind of being led to experience and just make changes. What I’m trying to say is that in the subconscious I was rearranging the way I perceived the world. Just like you would rearrange the stuff in your bedroom or the stuff in a warehouse.

   [41:00]
   And then it allowed me to live a different life and not trip over certain things and not fall into certain pitfalls that I habitually fell into.

   David: Is he speaking really fluently?

   Class: Yes, yeah,

   David: For a guy with social anxiety? …. Give John a big round of applause.

   David: Below the threshold of your conscious awareness are sets of filters. Those filters do one of three things.

   • They delete information.
   • They distort information.
   • They generalize information.

   They are also the way you organize your experiences.

   [41:33]
   You all remember a few minutes ago,
   I had you reach out and touch a picture. How many did that? [show of hands] OK.

   How many noticed that when they changed the size of the picture the feelings in their body changed? Raise your hands. [show of hands]

   If you didn’t… go back and do it again. This is a PAR-TIC-CI-PA-TORY workshop.

   IF YOU DON’T DO THE DRILLS

   YOU DON’T GET THE SKILLS.

   The secret to a lot of the work that we do here is that you don’t have to believe it will work. It’s not based upon your belief system. It’s based on neuroscience.

   [42:00]
   But you do have to follow the instructions if you want the change.

   And you have to NOT actively resist what we’re doing. There are smart guys out there and smart girls out there that are out prove that they can’t be changed. Well with that attitude, you wont be.

   It’s your pot of poop. You can stay in it if you want to. [laughter] Alright?

   I want to introduce you to, … not to metaphysics,…. per se. Although many of the things I’m about to explain to you can be thought of metaphysically.

   [42:31]
   But let’s think about it, more from a neurological perspective.

   For those of you who don’t know,
   • I’m a licensed acupuncturist in the state of California.
   • I also have a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine. I’m nationally accredited.
   • I am a Reiki master and teacher. I’ve been a Reiki Master since the early 90’s , before Reiki was even cool.
   • I’m a certified chronic healer and chronic psychotherapist.
   • I’m a Master hypnotist and hypnosis trainer.
   • I have published over 15 different products on aspects of the mind, energy, healing, and getting clear.
   • I’m a certified trainer for the Society of NLP, under its founder Dr. Richard Bandler.
   • And I don’t do windows.

   [laughter]

   [43:13]
   So what I’m going to share with you is not BS. It’s not mumbo jumbo.

   Student: You forgot your maritial arts.

   David: FINE…. OK… I’m also an 8th degree black belt in the maritial arts, certified instructor in combat systema, tactical knife defense, Cinco mano escrima, small circle Ju Jitsu, combat arniece. Yes … Have some.

   [applause from class]

   The reason that that is actually relevant is that systema is a maritial art that is taught to the special forces. It is designed as a synthesis of mind body techniques for learning to adapt and change in highly stressful combat situations.

   [44:00]
   Most people don’t know it though is that it has mystical origins. It actually has it’s roots in hepicathism, which is Christian monastic mysticism. Kind of like the Christian Shaolin monks.

   There is a lot of neuroscience, a lot of psychology, a lot of energy and breath work. There’s a lot of things that go into what I do. I’ll be happy to name my sources. I take credit for the synthesis, not the source. OK. I had great teachers. And I honor and respect them all.

   What we’re going to talk about today isn’t from one person or another. It’s a new model based on what we’ve learned.

   Your nervous system is the worlds most comprehensive and powerful information processing system, short of the universe itself, that exists. It has levels to it. But it is holographic in nature.

   What do I mean by that? Did you notice that when John was standing up here, that as he was describing his experience, he was gesturing in different places? That he was doing, making, motions with his hands?

   [45:00]
   Some of you didn’t. Some of you were focused on his words, and that’s normal. Some of you just focused on his face.

   How many people here have ever seen a movie like Ironman? [show of hands]
   Mission Impossible?

   You know my favorite scenes? Its when they have that big virtual reality thing around him and he’s opening these windows and he’s moving stuff here and he’s moving stuff there. Do you know where the inspiration for that came from? You.

   That’s how your nervous system functions. It’s a filing system, just like a desktop on your computer. Just like a window on your iPhone. You can move windows around and it’s really convenient, isn’t it?

   That information, and the structure that organizes your experiences is right below the threshold of your conscious awareness. When I said, “Imagine, that you could reach out and touch a picture.” The vast majority of you had no problem. Even if you didn’t see one. The minute you started opening, closing, and playing with it….
   THERE’S NO PICTURE THERE! …. Why should there be a change?

   [46:00]
   Because there IS a picture there. It’s below the filters to your conscious awareness.
   And it’s your ability to go into trance that gives you the power to change that desktop. To change that organization.

   You see it’s the size, the color, the location, that determines how you process and filter your reality.

   [46:28]
   It’s all around you. It comes out in the way you speak. It comes out in the places that you gesture to. It comes out in the direction that your hands move when you describe an experience.

   How many people have ever had a pain that I took away? Raise your hand.
   [show of hands]

   A pain or something that I took away. James stand up for a second.
   How many people have seen the demo where I gave James an intense orgasmic experience.

   [47:00]
   “I didn’t see that one, and I’m not sure I want to.” Right? [laughter] Describe the experience that you had.

   James: well you’ve done it multiple times now.

   David: yeah, I’ve given him multiple…. [laughter]

   James: describe the experience of the pain you took away?

   David: yeah.

   James: So one time I came in with a toothache. I’d gone back to the dentist and they were doing some type of nerve problems that I’d had with it.

   David: yeah, I remember that now.

   James: Yeah, and you took it out

   David: See what he is doing? [notice James’s hand motions, he’s reenacting or reliving the experience]

   James: Altered it and we noticed the sub modalities of it, the colors and stuff. And switched it around and when we put it back… it was all good.

   David: It was all good. Give him a big round of applause. We’re going to do that today.

   Or at least seen you do it today.

   It all goes back to this concept I’m explaining to you called the “PROPRIOCEPTIVE GRID.”

   Now when I talk about those pictures and things. OK. It’s a subjective projection.

   [48:02]
   You have certain wiring in the brain that projects around us spatially. How many people know what proprioception is? Raise your hands. If you don’t. Proprioception is a really long drawn out, complex way, scientific way of saying, “time and space.”

   If I reach into my pocket, and I feel something in my pocket, it’s the aspect of my nervous system that knows what’s in my pocket without me having to look at it. If I reach into my pocket with my hand and there is a bunch of change there. I can tell the dime from the quarter. I can tell the penny from the nickel. Without me having to look.

   [48:32]
   If you were to have psychic abilities. If they did exist. If you were to have a sixth sense, then it would be your proprioceptive nervous system.

   But it wouldn’t be your sixth sense…. It would be your sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth senses. Because there are at least six different types of nerve endings that feed information into your proprioceptive nervous system. I hate to disappoint you but you all have one.

   OK. If you are a human being with a pulse, you have one.

   [49:00]
   Alright. But all of that information that comes into your appropriate proprioception is filtered and processed, PRE-CONSCIOUSLY.

   And it’s a 360 degree awareness around you.

   When people in the new age movement, … metaphysical movement, … describe an aura, what do they describe? They describe a big bubble around us, don’t they?

   Unfortunately when we talk about energetics, we think about it like this big nebulous cloud of information.

   [49:27]
   But in the world according to David…. Feel free to disagree …

   Student: so are you saying it’s like a band of energy around you?

   David: A lot of people say that yeah. I don’t see it that way. I don’t see it that way at all. I think there is organization to it. How do I know this? Everybody think of something that happened four years ago. Something positive. We’ll keep it positive for now.

   Reach out and touch it. Good. Go ahead and do it. That means do it by the way, it’s not a request.

   Now think of something that happened yesterday. Now touch that. OH?

   How about something that’s going to happen a year from now?

   Notice they’re in different places.

   [50:04]
   Why?

   You have two sets of coding systems that your brain and your nervous system run on. You have a genetically passed on one. And one that is unique to you.

   Let’s play a game…. Oh and by the way, everybody here will hear me use this term called “bucket listing.”

   When we talk about “bucket listing,” you see the problem is that most people have when they try to fix their stuff, is usually they are learning a brand new technique, which means they barely understand it out of the book.

   And we instinctively, when we want to get rid of stuff, we pick the biggest, nastiest, most painful part of our life, and throw this technique we barely understand at it and then wonder why it doesn’t always work.

   So I figured out, that if I was going to do this for my self with what I know about the unconscious mind. Remember the unconscious mind, every time you have an experience…. Make sure I close this loop…

   [51:00]
   Every time you have an experience,… information comes in from the outside, the first thing that happens is that information hits your “Critical Factor.” Your critical factor or rational lieing factor, the neocortex, …is a filter. It let’s in things, and it keeps things out.

   Otherwise we would change everytime we got new information. You need that part of you. The problem is that sometimes the stuff that gets in, gets in by going around that filter and keeps us stuck instead of letting us move forward.

   Student: Are you trying to tell us that the unconscious and the subconscious mind are the same?

   David: Actually the unconscious and the subconscious are a little bit different, … but in the same realm.

   [51:31]
   When I say the SUBconscious I’m talking about that grid that is right below the threshold of conscious awareness you just played with.

   When I’m talking about the UNconscious, I’m talking about the meat. I talking about the part that is running the heart, modulating your hormonal balance, (etc. etc. )

   They’re both technically subconscious.

   Student: Involuntary functions?

   David: Yes. In my world, I make a slight distinction. OK. And depending on your level of trance, which is depth, absorption, and focus. You can access those systems. Otherwise I couldn’t do the work I do.

   [52:00]
   OK? Getting back to this, so one of the things we want to do … the minute we get information from our conscious mind, let’s say I get a message from the outside world that David is in fact a flaming butthead.
   [class chuckles]

   Right? So I get this message that David is a flaming butthead. And there is this little guy(1) at the door. There is a guy(1) at the front door, and a guy(2) at the filing system.

   And the message comes in, “David, you are a flaming butthead.”

   the guy(1) goes…”wait a minute. Let me check.”

   [52:31]
   Guy(1) “HEY HAS DAVID EVER BEEN A FLAMING BUTTHEAD?”
   Guy(2) “I DON’T KNOW, I’LL LOOK.” …”YES, DAVID HAS IN FACT BEEN A FLAMING BUTTHEAD.”

   Guy(1) “Go on in.” [various chuckles]

   And I get another file in my system. I get another charge to that belief.

   Let’s say I get another message from the outside world.
   “David, you are a flaming butthead.”
   Guy (1) Let me check.
   Guy(1) Hey has “David, ever been a flaming butthead?”
   Guy(2) NOT…. He’s full of shit. “shit being a technical term”

   [53:04]
   Guy(1) Go pound sand.

   That’s the dynamic of your conscious and subconscious mind. The critical factor is designed to defend whatever is in there. And to only accept things that match.

   Unless you have a lot of emotion. You bypass the critical factor, or you have a lot of intense repetition. And even then, not so much.

   [53:33]
   OK…. Yes?

   Student: So how does the stuff get in then?

   David: Most of it, the stuff that actually causes the problem, that is, the hook that everything is connected to, … happened before the age of five.

   More often than not. Whenever somebody comes in and they have a chronic pain or they have a fear, and even if it’s something that just manifested last week.
   When you go in and you put them in trance, and you ask the subconscious mind.

   [54:00]
   To go back to the very first scene, situation, or event that has everything to do with that experience, … they never go to that experience.
   [they go to the original hook]

   100% of the time I’ve had that happen.
   And 98% of the time, it’s between the ages of zero to five years of age.

   And it’s not always traumatic. It was just their first experience and the subconscious mind found some kind of commonality, that it used to connect things. It’s only your conscious mind that has to have things in a linear path.

   [54:31]
   That understand things linearly. Your unconscious mind doesn’t. If it just did things that way we wouldn’t be able to put two steps together. We’d fall over. Our heart would stop beating. Your unconscious mind is not a linear entity. Your higher mind is not a linear entity.

   The conscious mind, the analytical factor, evolved last. Does that make sense?
   This means yes. This means no.
   Ok. So.

   [54:59]
   That’s the dynamic of conscious, unconscious. How we get information in. But the other part of that equation is when that information is accepted, depending on the context and the emotional state at the time.
   That file has certain characteristics to it.
   • A size.
   • A location.
   • A shape.

   How many people here when we started tapping into those positive experiences… How many here had their pictures in color. Raise you hand if your picture was in color. How many were in black and white?

   OK. If you don’t know, then go back and look.

   Right. And what I want you to do is… if it’s not in color, put it in color and see what happens to your experience.

   If it’s small… make it bigger.

   If it’s two dimensional … make it three dimensional.

   If there’s no sound… put sound in it.

   Notice what happens to the feelings in your body as you play with it.

   [55:59]
   Welcome to the coding system your nervous system uses to create your experience of a memory, or an event. OK.

   If we can change that, … we will change how your body processes the experience.

   OK?

   Let’s take a five minute break… you guys use the restroom and come on back. Get some coffee, get some chocolate.

   End of video.
