Chopra Basis Time journal has described Deepak Chopra as one of many prime 100 heroes and icons of the nation and credit him because the poet prophet of different medication the world publish and Huffington Submit world web survey ranked him one of the crucial influential thinkers on the earth and one of the crucial influential thinkers in medication girls and gents we’re right here to rejoice Deepak’s newest ebook the therapeutic self please welcome Deepak Chopra thanks Thank You Dean Nelson thanks thanks Thank You Dean Nelson Julie Warwick’s thanks all for being right here presume all of you know the way you bought right here let me present you ways you actually acquired right here so can now we have the video please [Music] okay so congratulations you made it and also you’re right here now in the intervening time of conception you could have 25,000 genes so we’re not speaking about these genes however the genes that make a physique a gene is a stretch of DNA that codes for a protein so all of us start life as proteins consider genes as phrases that turn out to be the flesh dNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid DNA is the letter that makes the phrase the gene okay so in English now I am utilizing 26 letters to speak to you however life makes use of solely 4 letters they’re 4 chemical bases and so they’re often abbreviated as a TCG so that they despatched for sure chemical bases adenine thymine cytosine getting into however most biologists simply seek advice from them as atc ng so all of life has solely 4 letters the whole lot from a microbe to a human being now the present scientific mannequin and science is a helpful mannequin science just isn’t a way for exploring reality science is a technique for exploring a sure mannequin of the reality based mostly on what we name observations experiments theories fall in human thought so the science like faith is a system of thought science like theology is a system of thought or philosophy and science fashions actuality with its personal system so in line with the present scientific mannequin the universe started about 13.8 billion years in the past the way it started nobody is aware of they name it the Huge Bang however it’s neither massive nor did it bang okay in any case your DNA comes from atoms the atoms largely in your physique proper now are carbon hydrogen oxygen and nitrogen that is 96% of all of the atoms in your physique the remaining 4% are issues like sulfur phosphorus the opposite components of the periodic desk the place did they arrive from these atoms had been cast within the crucible of burning stars which might be known as supernovae the present scientific mannequin tells us that there could possibly be two trillion galaxies with 760 liyan stars I do not know find out how to write that perhaps one among you right here does two trillion galaxies 706 Cillian stars we dwell within the Milky Manner galaxy which is meant to have 100 billion stars proper subsequent door is Andromeda and there is Virgo and on and on suppose two trillion and uncountable trillions of planets proper now in most universities at the least the massive ones there are departments of what they name astrobiology so really there’s one right here in UCSD Columbia Harvard MIT Caltech astrobiologists are searching for life on different planets EXO planets exterior our photo voltaic system and so they search for life based mostly on our estimate that there could also be life on different planets based mostly on what they name a biosphere and so they appear to agree that there may be 60 billion liveable planets in our personal Milky Manner galaxy why am i sharing all this with you and the reason being that the atoms in your physique proper now the carbon and your fingernails often is the nitrogen in your hair follicles the oxygen going to your mind the calcium in your skeleton they might have come from totally different galaxies in different phrases it took the entire universe to have you ever come right here tonight for this lecture the whole lot needed to be very exact these are in in science we name the weather and forces of nature like electromagnetism gravity robust and weak subatomic forces the ratio of those to one another these are referred to as constants common constants and if any one among them was off by a decimal level we would not be having this dialog tonight so I am not talking metaphorically it took the universe to create you throughout these 9 months of embryogenesis within the womb your physique exhibits all of the phases of organic evolution so first there’s cosmic evolution then there’s organic evolution so you may first appear like a microorganism and the present scientific mannequin says that life on our planet started about 2.8 billion years in the past the planet itself is about little lower than 5 billion years and the primary organisms had been micro organisms referred to as chemo little autotrophic hyperthermophiles an advanced phrase however chemo merely means chemical compounds or the trophic they had been reproducing already they knew find out how to replicate themselves hyperthermophiles as a result of they lived on the edges of volcanoes and for all these 2.8 billion years of organic evolution there hasn’t been a single break within the chain of being or the chain of existence one little break in both cosmic evolution or organic evolution we can’t be right here so by now try to be completely bewildered by your existence and I might say bewilderment and and marvel our holy experiences our sacred expertise says you realize Rumi the nice Sufi poet says trade your cleverness for bewilderment as a result of bewilderment brings humility it brings reverence for existence and brings the sacred very near us I’ve met many scientists and I believe they’re going to all agree in the event that they’re actually good scientists that there is no clarification for existence simply because we will describe it does not imply we will clarify it and furthermore there is no clarification for the notice of existence these are the 2 greatest mysteries in science in the present day what is the universe manufactured from we do not know as a result of most of it’s invisible a darkish vitality darkish matter the 4 p.c that is atomic most of that’s invisible interstellar mud the seen universe two trillion galaxies is 760 liyan stars uncountable trillions of planets is 0.01 p.c of what exists the remainder is unknown or unknowable how do you work together with one thing that is not even manufactured from atoms so it is an awesome thriller that we exist however we will describe it that does not imply we will clarify it now in these 9 months of embryogenesis as I mentioned after you undergo all of the phases of organic evolution in line with the present scientific mannequin in your method out as you come out to the start canal you inhale you swallow and you’re coated by the vaginal secretions of your mom and at this second there is a second inoculation of genes into your organic organism so you could have 25,000 genes out of your mother and father however now you acquired between 2 million to twenty million relying on the place you reside across the planet and the atmosphere and your contact with nature or the your mother and father contacts with nature you purchase between 2 to 2 million additional genes so we now know that you’ve got just one% of the genes in your biology proper now out of your mother and father 99% of the genetic data in your physique proper now could be microbes microbial so that you’re technically talking a couple of human cells hanging on to a bacterial colony and this genome the microbiome is all of the micro organisms of our planet there in crops there in soil there in animals that in your pores and skin there in your mouth or in your eyes and really importantly there in your intestine your microbiome the second genome and the human genome they dance with one another they play with one another to create metabolites in your physique that are all bio chemical compounds that maintain your organic organism and because the child is now uncovered to the world all it has is expertise and these uncooked experiences is simply sound and style and odor and sensation and coloration and type the remainder is a human assemble the human story the child does not know that is a shoe all it experiences is a form and a coloration and perhaps if it desires to it will possibly style and odor it attempt to eat it play with it however the phrase shoe is a human assemble equally the child does realize it has a physique or a hand or something like that it is a coloration a form a odor a texture a sensation the phrase physique is a human assemble for an expertise however as quickly as we begin creating these constructs we then begin to create the expertise that we name a thoughts a thoughts is the interpretation of expertise a physique which is actually the interpretation of sensations photos emotions and ideas and a bodily universe these are human constructs helpful constructs as a result of with out these constructs we would not know find out how to navigate the human expertise and so life begins by means of play by means of interplay with mother and father and thru programming from tradition faith historical past mythology all of that it begins to create each experiences and interpretation of experiences and now we all know that because of these experiences each these experiences that we name the outer world this world out right here and the experiences in occurring contained in the interpretation of these experiences that we name ideas after which likes-dislikes pleasure ache all of that after which finally even creativeness and creativity and perception and instinct and introspection and pleasure and all the opposite adverse experiences now we have a 3rd construction begins to type and are in our physique and that is referred to as the epigenome perhaps means above so above the genome is a sheet of proteins that’s really being manufactured because of experiences each expertise you could have each expertise whether or not it is a psychological expertise or a perceptual expertise or an emotion and even a picture that you’ve got in your consciousness all these experiences get metabolized into the epigenome and the epigenome then in flip regulates the exercise of the genome and the microbiome so it’s extremely fascinating how this exercise that we name the physique thoughts is a results of experiences experiences of our ancestors each human animal microbial and finally the exercise of the entire universe so proper now it is second your physique is an exercise of the entire universe and I say an exercise your physique can also be an expertise that you simply’re having I need to go somewhat deeper into this later and since you aren’t that which you name your organic organism your organic organism is an expertise that you’re having in one thing we name consciousness and that is an awesome thriller what consciousness or consciousness is however your physique thoughts just isn’t a factor it is an expertise you are experiencing your physique proper now and you have been experiencing many various sorts of our bodies because you had been born you had a physique of a child a toddler teenager the physique I’ve now the physique you got here into this room with there are all totally different our bodies even with one breath that you simply breathe in you breathe in ten to the facility of twenty-two atoms 1 adopted by 22 zeroes with each breath you breathe out you breathe out 10 to the facility of twenty-two atoms so on the atomic stage you consuming out bits and items of your coronary heart and kidney and mind tissue and technically talking we’re all intimately sharing our organs proper now the nice American poet Walt Whitman as soon as mentioned each atom that belongs to you as properly belongs to me so that you would possibly personal your mortgage however you do not personal your physique proper this second you could have at the least 1,000,000 atoms in your physique that had been as soon as within the physique of Jesus Christ or Buddha or sadly even mr. Trump so within the final three weeks a quadrillion atoms have gone by means of your physique which have gone by means of the physique of each different species as a result of we’re all a part of the identical biosphere you realize consuming respiratory digestion metabolism elimination sensory expertise are recycled ideas as a result of no one really has authentic ideas we’re simply recycling the identical ideas data until you are an Einstein or a Mozart or a Beethoven most of our ideas are simply recycled hypnosis of social conditioning that which we name a physique thoughts is an exercise and it is a consistently altering exercise it is a verb it isn’t a noun actually there are not any nouns within the universe nouns are conventions of language however they do not mirror actuality realities ever shifting altering remodeling recycling evolving and it by no means stops it hasn’t stopped for 13.8 billion years it will not cease proper now with this understanding that your physique is an exercise and an expertise I would wish to share with you ways this is applicable to what we name the therapeutic self and I’ve taken a variety of time to do that however I believed I would provide the massive image as a result of the small print are all within the ebook you are holding in your hand however why disturb the therapeutic self the phrase therapeutic is definitely the identical phrase because the phrase holy the phrase holy is identical phrase because the phrase maintain all wholeness so therapeutic is the return of the reminiscence of wholeness you are not only a physique thoughts in a world you’re the world in a physique thoughts actually you are not simply the world you are the entire universe in a physique thoughts and this isn’t metaphorically talking that is completely you realize we’re speaking about scientific modeling of what we name actuality which remains to be very mysterious as a result of atoms and molecules and pressure fields and gravity and the whole lot that we name actuality these are human constructs 4 modes of realizing and expertise and that is the place the thriller is how do we all know what we all know how do we all know this expertise no one is aware of at this second as a result of all of science relies on what we name the concept matter bodily matter is is what exists the ontological primitive is matter and that can’t clarify any expertise molecules and atoms can not clarify thought or feeling or emotion and even perceptual expertise that is one other matter however proper now what I need to present share with you and should you can have the slides please which we do right here is that this diagram within the ebook roughly says the whole lot in regards to the present method to think about human organic organism as a system proper on the prime above the mind is mind-body therapies and even above that must be consciousness then you could have the mind and there are three sorts of brains now we have reptilian or instinctive mind an emotional limbic mind and a cortical or mental mind all of them mirror totally different intervals of organic evolution your instinctive mind is 300 million years previous your emotional mind is 100 million years previous and your mental mind is barely 4 million years previous and grew quickly and explosively as soon as we began utilizing phrases or language each oral and and written to precise expertise proper now I am expressing my ideas and my concepts based mostly on my expertise and different folks’s expertise and we’re exchanging concepts and in consequence really our brains are interacting and in consequence our our bodies are interacting there is no such factor as separate self at any stage at molecular organic psychological and so on no organism exists by itself actually you exists due to thousands and thousands of microorganisms I wish to suppose that we’re the awakening of microbial consciousness people are the awakening of microbial consciousness however anyway these three brains regulate what’s occurring within the physique or so we thought that was a top-down method you see from the emotional mind on the on the left aspect of the place I am the mind is the endocrine system so your emotional mind regulates your pituitary gland which regulates all of the hormones in your physique after which there’s one other nerve that is coming out of your midbrain or your reptilian mind referred to as the vagus nerve which it seems is essential the vagus nerve is now referred to an important nerve that regulates the viscera in our physique the viscera means the organs in our physique so the phrase Vegas and Latin is said to the phrase vagabond in English we now know that the vagus nerve regulates your facial expressions are you cheerful are you unhappy are you harassed are you relaxed are you versatile are you adaptable on and on it regulates your eye actions it regulates the tone of your voice with new applied sciences simply wanting on the tone of the voice facial expressions you may quickly have algorithms that may be capable to predict what’s occurring in the remainder of your physique so the vagus nerve goes from the face down into the voice field after which the guts the place it regulates coronary heart fee variability should you’re relaxed should you’re simple should you’re adaptable your coronary heart fee variability is elevated should you’re harassed your coronary heart fee variability is mounted or extra inflexible and that is one other signal of stress coronary heart fee variability is so delicate that it will possibly choose up should you did not sleep properly final evening or should you had an argument or you probably have a hangover you may choose it up coronary heart fee variability the vagus nerve then goes by means of the diaphragm into the stomach the place it regulates all of the organs within the physique and finally pierces the colon and the gut and regulates the exercise of the microbiome subsequently gene expression from these two million to twenty million microbial genes which in flip additionally produce the identical peptides that the mind makes like for instance serotonin oxytocin opiates dopamine there is a new one that’s being talked about by scientists referred to as anandam ID which is the peptide of pleasure or bliss that some folks making giant quantities throughout meditation or after they’re having peak experiences or transcendent experiences so from that then you definately see a suggestions to the immune system on the suitable hand aspect you see all these immune organs t-cells moreover macrophages leukocytes and they’re regulated by these mind peptides however additionally they occur to be intestine peptides so in the present day while you say I’ve a intestine feeling about such-and-such you are talking precisely metaphorically actually it is best to belief your intestine emotions in your coronary heart as a result of they have not but discovered to doubt their very own considering because the mind has the cortical mind particularly after which there is a suggestions loop so it is all one system the best way we had been skilled in medication at the least I used to be and nonetheless individuals are is one thing referred to as reductionism which implies you break up the physique into totally different elements into organs then you definately break up the organs into tissues the tissues into molecules the molecules into atoms the atoms into particles and finally left with nothing you realize as a result of particles are waves of risk and a few infinite nothingness the brand new method of wanting on the physique is what we name holism holey gap that’s programs biology however the system itself is an exercise of an even bigger system that we name the universe and should you actually perceive programs biology then there are not any such factor as elements elements are actions of the entire am I making sense are you getting this yeah okay so as soon as we perceive that that you realize as a result of now we have restricted time I will discuss to you in regards to the six most essential pillars of well-being you may discover much more element within the ebook you may discover the complexity of the interplay of all these however these are six essential issues that regulate your biology our biology strikes between two extremes one excessive is let’s name it homeostasis or self-regulation or therapeutic and so our pure state is one among self-regulation you realize you say how did you get right here from 13.8 billion years to now you haven’t any concept it simply occurred and the self is that which is regulating that is the phrase we use the self self occurs to be in our assemble and Rudy was my co-author who’s a neuroscientist and a geneticist we use the phrase self to imply the inside most basic ontological primitive of existence being or consciousness or consciousness which is regulating your physique and you do not have to do something it is occurring all by itself now we intrude with that that is due to what in the present day we name menace or worry or separation or stress it begins with worry I am separate from you I am separate from this it is all about me no sickness and wellness eye sickness begins with eye and wellness begins with me have you ever ever considered that so if I am solely considering myself separate from the whole lot else then that’s the expertise that we name stress seth stresses the notion of menace it begins with worry then it turns into anger when it is a resentment hostility you realize animals can have these feelings however human beings are distinctive should you kick a canine the canine additionally feels ache and should have reminiscence and also you you realize meet the canine 5 years later it would assault you however in contrast to a human being it will not plan for 5 years find out how to get even now we have all these resentments grievances after which complicated issues like guilt and disgrace and melancholy uniquely human and naturally you probably have pets then you may due to your interplay with them you can provide them the identical feelings canines and pets may also get depressed in interplay with people however they do not have often have constructs like your canine does not know you know the way a lot cash you make or what your title is I as soon as requested President Obama if Bohr knew he was the president of the nation his canine after which no concept proper that he is sitting within the Oval Workplace so anyway these are the six issues and I will not go into nice particulars about them however sleep is a non secular expertise as a result of what occurs in deep sleep is first the excitations of the waking state which is notion proper now this I presume everybody’s within the waking state and what the waking state is perceptual exercise perceptual exercise is an exercise of consciousness it is an excitation of consciousness consciousness is worked up and it creates this expertise that we name notion then we interpret because the bodily world and the bodily physique at evening what occurs is these excitations assume a really delicate type we name it the dream set not realizing that this proper now could be a lucid and vivid dream this proper now could be a lucid and vivid dream as a result of your perceptual exercise is consistently shifting your physique is consistently shifting so what occurred to the kid that you simply had been as soon as a toddler it is gone what occurred overlook the kid what occurred to yesterday it is gone overlook yesterday what occurred to this morning it is gone overlook this morning what occurred to 5 minutes in the past it is gone overlook 5 minutes in the past what occurred to a minute in the past it is gone by the point you hear my sentence it is over that is why Wittgenstein the nice German philosophers he mentioned our life is a dream we’re asleep however on occasion we get up sufficient to know that we’re dreaming and what will we get up to is that which is projecting this perceptual expertise that we name on a regular basis bodily actuality however all it’s is an on of excitation of consciousness as perceptions so at evening a distinct sort of dream after which as we go into deep sleep all of the excitations disappear there is no such thing as a expertise however they’re nonetheless consciousness proper as a result of if anyone screams your title and the dream or pinches you or no matter or actually have a thought instantly you come out of it and so we will say deep sleep is the closest to our spirit and that is why it renews us and that is why a few of these and knowledge traditions the methods of yoga nidra and so on are supposed to get up consciousness even within the deep sleep State in any case deep sleep and desires it very essential in your bodily emotional and non secular well-being and that is why while you get up within the morning you are feeling renewed really now we all know that deep sleep consciousness may be very lively differently eradicating amyloid out of your mind folks really down we all know that one of many biggest danger components for Alzheimer’s is lack of Delta sleep and really lack of sleep can also be a danger issue for untimely demise from irritation and heart problems which is linked to different ailments sleep may be very essential as a course of for renewal your immune system will get fine-tuned your endocrine system begins to self-regulate one factor we now additionally know that weight problems is a consequence steadily of simply lack of sleep diabetes in consequence sort 2 diabetes lack of sleep as a result of there’s dysfunction of each of the immune system in lab and you’ve got lack of sleep and likewise the endocrine system hormones like leptin ghrelin which regulate urge for food satiety metabolism I will get I will get reset in deep sleep meditation and stress administration now we have now loads of analysis now we have some members of the Chopra basis sitting proper right here within the entrance that had been very gracious to fund a few of the analysis we did together with others and now with together with UCSD Harvard UCSF Duke College Scripps proper right here we have completed research that present that in meditation all of the genes that trigger homeostasis or therapeutic go up some 17 fold so all of the genes that trigger irritation which is the background in most illness most persistent illness they go down very considerably the extent of the enzyme telomerase which regulates our organic clock goes up and our one-week retreat right here on the Chopra Middle it went up by 40 p.c the enzyme telomerase no we’re no drug does that by the best way so meditation together with all the opposite issues I am mentioning really is a vital consider self-regulation so one extremist self-regulation or therapeutic the opposite excessive is low-grade irritation which is accountable in ninety p.c of all persistent sickness solely 5 p.c of illness associated genetic mutations are totally penetrant which implies they assure the illness so if anyone has a gene mutation like Angelina Jolie had a baraka gene that is a completely penetrant gene however that is lower than 5 p.c of all most cancers that is lower than 5 p.c of all illness autoimmune no matter that is the place the brand new applied sciences like CRISPR and gene modifying and all shall be very helpful however 95 p.c of all gene mutations that trigger illness solely improve the chance of illness don’t assure the illness which implies you are able to do one thing about that okay you may see quite a bit about meditation within the ebook motion I must be strolling somewhat extra right here to maintain up with my 10,000 steps so it is really useful that we stroll about 10,000 steps you do not have to do vigorous train go to the fitness center or be lifting weights should you stroll 10,000 steps you are really fairly good by way of conserving your physique dynamically lively however now we even have very attention-grabbing analysis on yoga and meditation once more on the Chopra Middle I believe Paul Mills is someplace right here Paul space there he is the director of analysis professor at UCSD liable for directing all of the analysis we do coordinating with all the opposite facilities we now know that yoga and meditation and pranayama have very particular results primarily I believe due to this vagus nerve while you’re doing yoga asanas like cat cow or Solar Salutation Asim the vagus nerve while you’re doing respiratory methods you are doing the identical and in order that has a really particular impact actually we will create an entire map of which nerves which visceral nerves are particularly simulated through the yoga asanas from which organ within the physique prana equally there are respiratory methods that may improve metabolism decreased metabolism cool you down heat you up so it is a entire totally different method of our organic organisms feelings for for a lot of many years folks have recognized that the motions that we name worry anger hostility resentment grievances guilt disgrace melancholy all precipitated irritation however now the alternative can also be true in case you are feeling love compassion pleasure empathy equanimity gratitude your physique strikes within the route of homeostasis or self-regulation so actually once more paul revealed a examine together with a few of us he was the lead investigator the place folks saved a gratitude journal these had been folks with persistent coronary heart illness and the whole lot improved together with irritation goes down while you expertise an emotion like gratitude it is not possible to really feel hostility and even worry while you’re experiencing gratitude diet and nourishment I believe that is very vital now notably as a result of our meals typically meals that is manufactured refined processed as lot of refined sugar or has chemical compounds animals nowadays at the least industrial meals manufacturing they’re pumped with estrogen steroids antibiotics and even petroleum merchandise pesticides Organa websites petroleum merchandise that causes irritation and so they trigger data within the microbial genes as properly in consequence irritation in the entire physique so our meals is contaminated additionally 30% of the microbiome has disappeared in lots of elements of the industrialized world due to pesticides and Organa websites and petroleum merchandise in industrial meals manufacturing it is a massive massive menace to our civilization proper now that we’re destroying the microbiome which is most of our genetic data so so far as doable attempt to keep away from meals that comes from a manufacturing facility that’s processed and refined and isn’t immediately linked to the earth or to life typically the healthiest meals are plant-based meals the healthiest meals in your microbiome is a range of plant-based meals so the extra various your plant-based meals are the more healthy your microbiome shall be now I discussed you may’t change the genes that you simply acquired out of your mother and father however you may change their exercise epigenetically by means of these easy pillars of properly being however you may change the inhabitants of a microbial genes that are 99% of the genetic data simply by altering your weight-reduction plan and that is very attention-grabbing and I do know now we have some folks right here from Campbell Soup George Harrison Ayurvedic knowledgeable George’s elevate your palms and we’re getting them concerned with creating wholesome meals based mostly on Ayurvedic ideas that are ideas of life principally and we will present that hopefully the microbiome shifts nearly inside a couple of days we’re additionally working proper now with an organization referred to as biome that may do a personalised microbiome it is best to attempt it out so you realize you may create discover out what’s the distinctive microbial inhabitants and your intestine and which meals are more practical in you as a result of there is no common weight-reduction plan really for everybody as a result of all of us have a distinct microbial and genetic and human gene inhabitants as properly okay and lastly right here I need to point out organic rhythms and grounding that is very a lot part of Ayurveda as properly so there are 4 rhythms that program our physique because the Earth spins on its axis now we have one thing referred to as the circadian rhythm anyone who’s had jetlag is aware of what a disruption in circadian rhythm is however circadian rhythm can also be linked to seasonal rhythms because the earth goes across the Solar additionally linked to lunar rhythms as a result of the motion of the Solar Moon and Earth have organic results on our physique our physique being a part of the exercise of the universe after which there are tidal rhythms there’s an ocean inside us we had been as soon as in a part of the ocean after we stepped out of it we introduced it with us it is a physique circulation and physique fluids so all these rhythms are essential whether or not they’re seasonal circadian or tidal gravitational lunar rhythms and as soon as once more just lately we acquired concerned with simply the phenomenon of grounding so when folks stroll on the seaside of individuals stroll barefoot on the earth or when folks stroll even barefoot on grass they really feel higher the idea is that they are resetting their organic rhythms but in addition a connection to the earth immediately which is you realize we’re recycled earth and water it brings adverse ions from the earth into your physique neutralizes the surplus free radicals so now we’re working with many corporations however one particularly that appears at 20 or right here and he’s the unique engineer behind grounding he is created grounding gadgets drowning chairs grounding mats so you can be right here however sitting on a grounding mat or a chair and linked by means of the grounding wire on to the earth and really now analysis exhibits that irritation goes down and the physique’s organic clock begins to reset this final 12 months’s Nobel Prize was about organic clocks however I spotted spoken about these clocks for 1000’s of years that we’re a part of a consequence makes symphony and our biology at the least dances to it regardless that we will not hear the tune in order that’s why I am by the best way biome calm / good well being is the web site if you wish to get your microbiome examined and I will simply communicate for 5 minutes on non secular well-being which is a part of the final a part of the ebook and you’ll be very wholesome have a protracted lifespan the longer you reside the extra chances are excessive previous age will trigger some sort of infirmity and demise is inevitable so this has created for people at the least one thing referred to as existential struggling and it is the premise for philosophy theology faith and each different try in unraveling what we name actuality so within the vedantic custom listed here are the 5 causes of existential struggling or human struggling they’re referred to as clashes in sanskrit cliche means human struggling not realizing the true nature of actuality this isn’t actuality that is an expertise in actuality and it is a transient expertise it is over as quickly because it’s born however and demise are occurring on a regular basis to expertise the thought is born he dies a notion is born he dies a picture is born it dies and emotion is born he dies and it is occurring in an everlasting now now it isn’t a second in time you have by no means seen a second present up go away adopted by one other second there is no such factor now could be timeless consciousness and which experiences arising and subsiding eternally now could be being now could be consciousness now could be consciousness nobody has expertise not being conscious not being conscious just isn’t an expertise by definition however not realizing the true nature of actuality results in greedy and clinging at expertise expertise of that which we name mind-body the world results in the worry of impermanence if partitions constricted recurring South referred to as the ego and the worry of demise so our knowledge custom says reality is contained within the first cliche not realizing the true nature of actuality and all of the disciplines of self-exploration self inquiry meditation mindfulness consciousness of breath consciousness of sensation consciousness of perceptual experiences consciousness of psychological house that nowadays going with the phrase mindfulness which isn’t actually phrase as a result of mindfulness implies a full thoughts it is an conscious fulness is a slipshod phrase we’ll go together with mindfulness however being conscious of expertise because it’s occurring being conscious of decisions as you make them is the very best intelligence after which being conscious of being conscious is even greater than that so earlier than I finish as a result of I do know that the human assemble of time is passing by I’m going to ask you a query and I would wish to on you to reply with the assertion sure okay okay so here is the query are you conscious somewhat extra enthusiastic please are you conscious I will ask you an identical query however do not reply it until I elevate my hand okay all people clear on that I will ask you the query do not reply til I raised my so are you conscious the query are you conscious is a thought the reply sure is a thought thought arises in consciousness is skilled in consciousness and subsides in consciousness the identical precept applies to any emotion any notion these are actions of consciousness in consciousness the actions look like in time however consciousness just isn’t in time you should use different phrases for consciousness spirit soul presence Holy Ghost no matter you need and so God Brahman does not matter with out consciousness no expertise the place is consciousness it has no type subsequently it isn’t in time however with out it there is no expertise of that which we name type each type is a phenomenon that is why I mentioned at first each type is an exercise that is an exercise it is a phenomenon however what’s the phenomenon is the arising and subsiding of sensations photos emotions ideas perceptions that are actions of consciousness recognized an consciousness and made out of consciousness that is all made out of consciousness this – and its interpretation as properly so I will ask you an identical query are you conscious the usual reply it simply pay attention to being pay attention to that which is listening are you conscious that is the true-self Rumi has a poem foundation God’s language is silence the whole lot else is poor translation so thank thanks for listening to this poor translation [Applause] [Music] you
