4 Dimensional Thought Experiments · The Hypnotist

0:01
Just allow any feelings of worry, stress, or tension to
0:07
leave your body in your outward breath, each breath taking you
0:14
deeper and deeper. Relaxed.
0:19
That's it. As your body relaxes, your
0:25
imagination awakens and I wonder if you could imagine being
0:32
somewhere outside in nature. Perhaps you could imagine a
0:38
field, perhaps a wide open space.
0:46
But I wonder if you could imagine being in this wide open
0:49
space with an identical twin. This is your identical twin.
0:59
Someone that looks exactly like you shares 100% of your
1:07
genetics. They are effectively your clone.
1:12
And I want you to. Check they're like you look at
1:15
them, check they're the same height, same eye colour and just
1:19
get a feeling that you are in this wide open space with
1:24
Someone Like You. That's it.
1:29
Breathing in relaxation, exhaling tension, each breath
1:34
taking you deeper and deeper than the last.
1:39
That's it. And as you're there with your
1:43
clone, just imagine a beam of light going down, down through
1:51
the atmosphere, arriving at your feet.
1:58
And I wonder if you could imagine what it would be like to
2:03
climb aboard that beam of light and allow yourself to ride it,
2:11
to ride that beam of light. Within seconds, you're going up
2:18
into the air. And before long, you've left.
2:23
Earth's atmosphere. But this is just your
2:27
imagination. You can breathe even in space.
2:34
Your twin is back on Earth and you are now surfing through the
2:40
solar system. Imagine yourself flying past the
2:46
moon and seeing all of the craters up close.
2:53
Imagine what it would be like to fly past Mars.
2:58
Mars through the asteroid belt and then imagine seeing the
3:04
giant planets Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
3:10
Imagine. All.
3:13
Of those moons around it. And I wonder if you could
3:18
imagine what it would be like to leave our solar system on that
3:23
beam of light. You are travelling at 99.9% of
3:28
the speed of light. You are riding that beam of
3:31
light. And just imagine how it would be
3:36
to leave our solar system and venture into other solar
3:41
systems. I wonder if you could imagine
3:45
seeing the birth of a star in a nebula, see huge comets whizzing
3:53
by. I wonder what it would be like
3:59
to visit the very center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
4:06
And many people don't know that the center of every Galaxy is a
4:11
black hole with such power that it can absorb even light.
4:19
And I want you to imagine riding on that beam of light, close to
4:24
that black hole, but not so close that it draws you in.
4:32
I want you to imagine this has been perhaps because you're
4:36
travelling at the speed of light, maybe just two or three
4:39
hours of travelling through space.
4:44
And as you return, I want you to take on the perception of your
4:49
identical twin who is now decades older.
4:56
Your identical twin has aged maybe 30-40, even 50 years.
5:04
And I want you to imagine what it would be like to have
5:06
accomplished so much, to have made such big decisions, to have
5:15
had pain, to have learnt through mistakes.
5:22
And know that that other version of you is still surfing that
5:26
beam of light. And as you return on that beam
5:30
of light, your clone, your twin, is also going to the very space
5:39
that you boarded that beam of light.
5:41
And just imagine going back through our solar system, past
5:46
the planets, past Mars, past the moon, back into our atmosphere,
5:52
and arriving on that beam of light at the very spot that you
5:57
left Earth. But upon your arrival, your
6:03
twin, your clone, is now toward the end of their life.
6:12
Perhaps you could imagine them in their 90s or hundreds, even
6:15
older. And I want you to get a feeling
6:18
that they are you and you are them, and they possess all of
6:22
your future wisdom, all of your future experiences, while you
6:29
possess all of the energy and vitality that you possess right
6:35
now. And as you touch down, I want
6:38
you to imagine absorbing all of that future wisdom, all of that
6:42
future insight colliding into one moment.
6:47
Imagine this version of you that's experienced so much
6:51
merging with you in the present, becoming 1.
6:56
You have the energy and vitality of your present and all future
7:01
wisdom. That's it.
7:03
And very soon I will count from 1:00 to 5:00 to awaken you.
7:09
You will awaken feeling connected to that wisdom and
7:13
feeling you've been on a wonderful journey, starting to
7:17
count. 123 Opening your eyes 4-5 wide awake, wide awake, wide
7:26
awake. Now that that thought experiment
7:30
there wasn't 1,000,000 miles away from what Einstein did.
7:34
What Einstein did is imagine travelling at a beam of light
7:37
close to the speed of light and realizing that what would be a
7:41
small amount of time for the version of him on the on the
7:44
beam of light could actually be a very long period of time.
7:47
That's the relativity of time. I would consider what Einstein
7:51
did to be a four dimensional form of thinking.
7:56
He was doing things in his imagination that clearly you
7:59
cannot do in a three-dimensional reality.
8:01
Anyone here rode a beam of light in reality?
8:06
No, nobody's left Earth's atmosphere.
8:08
But you can do it in the imagination.
8:11
And here's the really powerful interesting thing.
8:14
That 4 dimensional thought experiment led to a theory.
8:18
And if that theory had never been discovered, satellites
8:22
wouldn't exist. Most navigation, the whole space
8:25
industry wouldn't exist. So A4 dimensional thought
8:29
experiment had real pragmatic ripples through our
8:33
three-dimensional reality. Anyone think that Da Vinci was
8:38
pretty good at 4 dimensional thinking?
8:41
He clearly was not a man of his time, but his imagination took
8:46
him to places that no one had been, and yet he introduced
8:50
those findings into his reality. And the key goal of this talk
8:56
today is to give you tools, techniques and metaphors So what
9:01
you can do in your imagination or help your clients to do
9:05
actually has profound impact on their reality.
9:10
Otherwise, what's the point? If we're just going on
9:13
adventures in our imagination and nothing really changes,
9:16
what's the point? It has to have an impact on our
9:20
reality. So how do we explain what 4
9:23
dimensions are? The easiest way to do it is with
9:28
a shape. Excuse my art, I'm not an
9:32
artist, I'm a hypnotist. So this is a straight line.
9:36
This represents 1 dimension because you've only got the X&Y,
9:42
you've only got the X axis really.
9:44
You can only go up and down. That's it.
9:47
You're very limited in what you can do in A1 dimension.
9:51
OK, and most of us are familiar with the two dimension.
9:56
How many of you see clients over zoom?
10:00
Yeah, about half the room. You are dealing with a
10:03
three-dimensional entity through A2 dimensional plane.
10:06
You see them on a screen. That's 2 dimensions, but you
10:10
know they're 3 dimensions. OK, You're not confused by that.
10:14
So a square is A2 dimensional plane.
10:16
The floor is A2 dimensional plane.
10:19
A piece of paper is A2 dimensional plane.
10:21
So we're all very comfortable with the second dimension.
10:25
What is this? It isn't.
10:30
OK. It is.
10:33
And what was said there? Sorry.
10:34
What was your name? Chet representation of a cube.
10:39
This is a cube and this dice is going to be the catalyst for
10:43
randomness that we're going to introduce later.
10:46
This is a cube and this is a 2 dimensional representation of a
10:52
three-dimensional object. Why is that important?
10:56
That's important because you can represent one dimension higher
11:01
and even 2 dimensions higher even on A2 dimensional plane.
11:06
OK So what would be a four dimensional cube?
11:12
Anyone know the name? It is a tesseract, also known as
11:16
a hypercube, and all three-dimensional shapes have a
11:20
four dimensional counterpart. So for a triangle, it would be
11:28
getting right here a tetrahedron because it would have 4, it'd
11:32
have a square base, and then a pentacoron would be the four
11:36
dimensional representation of a three-dimensional shape.
11:39
So we're not guessing whether or not the four dimension exists.
11:43
We know the four dimension exists because we can prove it
11:45
through science. What we can't do is interact
11:49
with it ourselves. What we can do is get a
11:53
representation. So I've got my laptop here
11:56
because it would be very difficult to try and explain A2
12:00
dimensional depiction of a tesseract, but I can show it to
12:04
you. OK, so one second, can everyone
12:10
see this? Yes.
12:11
OK, no. It.
12:15
Isn't a tesseract in the same way that this isn't a cube, but
12:21
it is A2 dimensional representation of a tesseract.
12:25
And the key thing that makes a tesseract a tesseract is that it
12:30
is folding and unfolding. The cube on the inside becomes
12:34
the cube on the outside, and then a new cube is formed on the
12:38
inside is what depicts A tesseract.
12:42
And that would also be the case with the Pentacore.
12:44
And it's in a state of flux. So why can't we show a shape
12:48
that's constantly moving? Because we live in a
12:51
three-dimensional reality and you can't have a four
12:54
dimensional shape in our three-dimensional realities.
12:58
But we can guess what it would be like and that would be in a
13:01
constant state of movement because it's the fluidity of
13:06
time. Now another interesting thing to
13:08
look at when we look at dimensions is the limitation of
13:12
a dimension. So this is a picture of a circle
13:16
within a square. If this was you as a 2
13:19
dimensional entity, could you see the circle in the square?
13:27
Why not? Yeah, you can't see beyond it.
13:36
If you're A2 dimensional here, this may as well be.
13:40
Then you'll see Game of Thrones, You've seen the wall.
13:43
OK. If you're A2 dimensional entity,
13:45
this is like an infinitely high wall.
13:48
You can't possibly see beyond it.
13:51
But a three-dimensional entity could easily see the circle
13:58
inside the square easily. We can see that.
14:01
OK, consider if you are and and by the way, all you would see if
14:05
this was you is this, but it would be infinitely high if you
14:08
were that two-dimensional entity, a cube in a box.
14:13
Just imagine I have a box here with a a ball in the box and you
14:17
can't shake it. All you can see is the box.
14:20
Do you know if there's a ball in the box or not?
14:24
You can't possibly know. And this is kind of an echo of
14:28
Schrodinger's cat thought experiment if anyone's familiar
14:31
with that. You can't know until you open
14:33
the box if there's a ball in there, in the same way that we
14:36
couldn't know if Schrodinger had a cat inside the the gas
14:39
chamber, if that makes sense. You have to open it to know.
14:44
But here's where it gets weird. In the same way that we as 3
14:48
dimensional entities can know there's a circle inside the
14:50
square, A4 dimensional entity would know that there was a ball
14:57
inside the box because they can take on multiple perceptual
15:01
positions. Pretty fucking weird, but that's
15:04
that's the science of it. OK, So what?
15:09
What can we do with this? What we can learn is that there
15:12
are certain things unique about the fourth dimension that
15:16
clearly do not exist in the three dimensions.
15:20
Time is dynamic in the 4th dimension.
15:24
Time can go backwards, it can go forwards, it can move around.
15:31
That's one of the unique things about the fourth dimension.
15:34
And we know from this element that perception is not limited
15:39
to a singular point. You are all three-dimensional
15:42
entities. How many perceptual points do
15:45
you have? One you use your senses, your
15:51
sight, your hearing, your touch, but only from your perspective.
15:56
We can use empathy, but you can't know what I'm seeing right
15:59
now. You could just guess, and you'd
16:01
be guessing by creating a representation in your mind of
16:05
what I'm seeing. But you can't see what I'm
16:06
seeing, if that makes sense. So perception is not limited to
16:09
a single point. 3D time is linear and has one path.
16:15
Raise your hand if you believe that you are a time traveller.
16:19
OK, how do you travel through time?
16:25
OK, so I would say that's 4 dimensional thinking as a
16:27
three-dimensional entity, how do you travel through time?
16:29
And you're right, you are a time traveller by the way, staying
16:34
alive. You have travelled 10 years in
16:37
time from 10 years ago. It's not the coolest concept for
16:40
a movie for for that kind of time travel because we just get
16:44
used to it. But you're all time travellers
16:47
on a linear path. You've travelled in time one day
16:51
from yesterday. That's the kind of time travel
16:53
that we're limited to to do. But 4D time is fluid and has the
17:00
possibility of multiple realities.
17:04
And the multiple realities is important because these multiple
17:07
realities give us entirely different ways of interacting
17:12
with clients and giving them powerful new metaphors.
17:16
So can we experience the 4th dimension?
17:22
Yes. Raise your hand if you think we
17:24
can. Raise your hand if you think we
17:29
can experience the 4th dimension.
17:32
OK. I don't think we can.
17:37
OK, but we can get a parallel to it if that makes sense.
17:42
Us experiencing the 4th dimension would be like A2
17:45
dimensional comic strip character jumping out of the
17:48
paper and interacting in our world.
17:52
We've never seen that, We're never likely to see that.
17:55
But what we can do is we can access points that equate to a
18:02
parallel to the 4th dimension. So let's just do a little
18:06
thought experiment really quickly right now.
18:09
Take a deep breath in, close your eyes, and I want you to
18:11
think of where you were living when you were 10 years old.
18:17
OK, now maybe that was an apartment, maybe it was a house,
18:22
but here's what I want you to do.
18:23
I want you to see how many doors are in that property.
18:30
Cupboard doors don't count, front doors count, back doors
18:34
count, and doors to rooms count. Now, once you've figured out how
18:40
many doors are in that place where you were living when you
18:45
were 10 years old, just open your eyes and nod your head.
18:47
So I know. OK, Lester's got it.
18:49
We've got another one there. A few heads of the heads of the
18:53
nod, nod to the head. Lester.
18:54
How many? So we've we've got 6.
18:57
Now, there's many ways in which you could have done that, but
19:00
I'm going to guess if you've done it in a particular way.
19:04
Did you go back to that house and have a wander around that
19:09
place where you were living? I sort.
19:11
Of started outside the bedroom. To the door to the front.
19:17
Door. Yeah, you wandered around.
19:19
Anyone else wander around a house they've not lived in for a
19:21
long time? OK, now here's what's happening
19:24
there in, in a, in a strange way, you've travelled through
19:28
time and through space to an entity that is going to be very
19:34
different from what you've experienced.
19:36
And yet you were able to navigate around it as if it's a
19:39
3 dimensional space. Nobody knows how many doors were
19:43
in there, the place where they were living.
19:45
So the only way you can do that is to go around and count, if
19:48
that makes sense. I've asked that question to a
19:51
lot of people and only one person has done it any different
19:53
to that. And the way they do it is
19:56
because they're an architect. They imagine their houses, floor
19:58
plans and they saw the doors like they're on that.
20:02
And that's, that's another way you can do it.
20:04
The average person doesn't do that.
20:05
They they wander around that space.
20:08
And here's the thing, how easy was it for you to get to that
20:11
house? No induction, no deepener.
20:15
You just went there and it was a form of time travel and spatial
20:19
travel because you are able to take a perceptual position
20:23
inside a place you've probably not been for many years.
20:26
Makes sense. That's 4D thinking because we're
20:29
using what makes 4 dimensional unique, and you're doing that in
20:33
your imagination. Therefore, it gives us this idea
20:38
that actually what we can do in our minds is more like a four
20:42
dimensional realm. OK, you are all interacting with
20:46
the 4th dimension on a very regular basis, or a realm that's
20:50
very similar to that. Anyone here that doesn't dream?
20:56
OK, so you're all dreamers. And here's the thing.
21:00
Anyone have dreams of going back to a time in the past?
21:04
Go back to school. Anyone had the dream of waking
21:07
up in an assembly or something like that with just your
21:09
underpants on? OK, some people have had that
21:12
that thing. And you might see people that
21:15
aren't alive anymore in your dream.
21:17
So in your dream you can go back to the time.
21:21
Anyone had a premonition in a dream, they've they've seen a
21:24
future. OK, so we can travel through
21:27
time. Anyone found themselves in a
21:29
different environment, like a different country, a different
21:33
planet, a different space. You've imagined yourself falling
21:36
or floating. The laws of physics don't apply
21:39
within your dreams. And therefore we can say that
21:42
dreaming itself is more like a four dimensional realm because
21:49
we can't do these things in our three-dimensional reality.
21:52
Anyone here done lucid dreaming, by the way?
21:57
Yeah, and sometimes it's right after you hit the snooze button
22:01
and you go back, you've got slightly more control at that
22:03
particular point and you like set an intention.
22:06
That was such a good dream, I want to go back to that dream
22:09
again. And that's a form of lucid
22:10
dreaming. I would say lucid dreaming is 4
22:13
dimensional thinking. That's you can't do that in
22:17
reality, you can do it in your imagination.
22:20
Anyone heard of let's say multiple realities, things like
22:25
parallel universes and things like the the multiverse?
22:29
OK, so a parallel universe assumes only one other reality,
22:35
whereas A multiverse assumes infinite other realities.
22:40
Now, this is quite a good metaphor to use with clients if
22:44
they feel that they can't change within their particular space.
22:49
Because one of the things we can do is we can say, right, go to a
22:54
parallel universe where you've already made the breakthrough
22:57
that you're looking for, knowing it's it's you.
23:01
And that helps them to experience the very breakthrough
23:04
that would be very difficult for them to experience just from
23:07
their own perception because their belief system is, I can't
23:10
get through this like this. This is the challenge.
23:14
But if you use that element of infinite multiple realities,
23:17
they can visit perhaps the resources or strategies that
23:21
their unconscious is saying has worked for them because they're
23:25
visiting and they're observing that particular place.
23:29
How much time do you think JK Rowling spent in the the world,
23:36
the universe of Harry Potter? I mean, she wrote like 7 books,
23:41
OK at one point. I don't know if she still is.
23:44
She was the best selling fiction author on the planet and she
23:48
spent time in an alternative reality and I'm sure was
23:51
navigating that space as if it was a three-dimensional space,
23:55
even though it was in her head. Real characters, real
23:58
situations, real dynamics. And here's what's interesting.
24:01
She was doing 4 dimensional thinking to write a book that
24:06
sold more copies than anyone else.
24:08
And this is the key essence to 4 dimensional thinking.
24:11
It's not just to do the four dimensional thinking is to take
24:14
what you glean from that 4 dimensional thinking and then
24:17
bring it back to the three-dimensional realities.
24:22
Anyone done any kind of past lives or future lives?
24:26
OK, can we do that in our three-dimensional realities?
24:31
Can't just teleport back to a previous life.
24:33
But you've done that with clients, you've done that with
24:36
yourself. And I would say that is a form
24:39
of four dimensional thinking we're experiencing Now.
24:42
Whether you believe in a past life or a future life, I would
24:45
say is immaterial. What you're doing though is
24:48
you're taking a perceptual position if it's associated into
24:52
the body of someone that had that life and if it's
24:56
disassociated, you're still in an alternative reality.
24:59
You're just observing that different version of you and
25:03
therefore that is 4 dimensional thinking because it's the
25:05
element of perceptual positions and time that make it different.
25:09
Now we're going to do a little bit of the game now because I
25:12
appreciate this is all quite sciency and that kind of stuff.
25:15
I've got four different variables here and they all
25:18
relate to different things, so we're.
25:23
Going to introduce some randomness it.
25:25
Was Benjamin, wasn't it? OK, tell me what number you see
25:28
1st 2, right? So this is going to be very
25:36
rapid thought experiments. So 2 here relates to an
25:43
ancestral memory. Now you can't see this, but I
25:52
can see this. So this is all the different
25:55
variables. Each number has a different
25:56
variable. So, oh, there we go.
26:03
What's the first number? Four.
26:05
OK, 4 is fluid perception. So the the the first variable is
26:10
time. The second is perception.
26:12
So it could be first person, second person, third person.
26:15
This is fluid perception. OK, Which means that your
26:18
perception is almost like multiple camera angles that you
26:23
could take. So you could take any perception
26:25
at any point in time, right, Benjamin?
26:27
Throw that dice to someone else. OK, someone pick it up and just
26:36
shout out the number that you see 55.
26:39
OK, let's create some space here.
26:47
OK, so 5 is an AI generated world, hyper realistic but not
26:52
real. OK, so AI world and if you throw
26:59
that dice to someone, what's the first number you see?
27:04
Four. OK, OK, so the objective here is
27:09
to resolve an issue. So here's what I want you to do
27:14
and I'll guide you through this. Take a deep breath in, close
27:18
your eyes, and all I want you to do is imagine visiting an
27:22
ancestral memory. So the premise is it's someone
27:26
within your lineage way, way, way back in time and you're
27:31
observing them from a fluid perception.
27:33
You could take a first person perception, someone that you
27:36
know, a third person, almost like a hidden camera just
27:39
watching. But this is an AI generated
27:42
world back in this ancestral time.
27:46
And I want you to observe the resolution of an issue, maybe a
27:54
betrayal that got resolved or some kind of conflict, some
28:00
issue that was resolved. And once you feel like you've
28:04
done that, so you've gone back to an ancestral memory, AI
28:06
generated world, fluid perception to resolve an issue,
28:10
then just open your eyes and raise your hand if you've got
28:12
that. OK, so your hand go up there.
28:15
Tell us what you saw. He was on.
28:27
A ship and drinking. Heavily, yeah.
28:29
So you saw that and your your perception was changing from
28:31
different kind of perspectives and it was on a ship.
28:34
And how was the drinking heavily resolved?
28:39
He put it down that resolves the issue.
28:43
Did that ship seem like realistic but not quite real?
28:47
Perfect. OK, so that was a quite a quick
28:49
thing to do. We could jump back to that
28:51
place. You raised your hand as well,
28:52
Kathleen. Tell me what you saw there.
28:53
Ancestors. Migrated to a new area and we
28:57
were looking for water and we found a threat water pond and we
29:03
had one person drink the water 1st to see if they'd be OK to
29:09
live the next day so we we. Found responses perfect.
29:12
And use the Guinea pig. They were taking on all the
29:14
risk. OK, but it but it solved the
29:17
problem It solved the problem. So and let's do one more of
29:21
these because there's there's lots of different things.
29:23
So whoever's got a dice throw it to someone new.
29:27
OK, Kathy, what's the number you see there?
29:29
OK, one throw it to someone else.
29:33
Let's make this fast. OK, great.
29:36
Catch three. OK, now you at the back if you
29:40
throw it to someone. OK, 3 again and one more time,
29:50
just throw it to someone else. Back to Kathleen.
29:56
Who could have predicted it? Five.
29:59
OK, now make a mental note of this.
30:02
So number one is an ancient discovery.
30:06
Ancient Discovery OK #3 is a third person.
30:16
So if you've seen any kind of movie, any kind of sitcom, the
30:19
perception is there's a hidden camera, like the 4th wall.
30:22
Nobody meant to know it exists, but it kind of observes
30:24
everything. So this is a third person
30:26
perspective. OK #3 is a game or a puzzle.
30:32
This is the reality that we're making here.
30:34
So a game or a puzzle is the environment, the context, OK?
30:40
It could be like an escape room. It could be some kind of thing,
30:42
but there was some kind of game or puzzle going on.
30:46
And then the final one is observe without judgement.
30:56
So there's nothing to do here, nothing to be resolved, but just
31:00
observe. OK?
31:01
Take a deep breath in, close your eyes, and let's go back to
31:05
what feels like an ancient discovery from a third person
31:09
perspective. But this is almost like a game
31:13
or a puzzle going on, and you're just there to observe without
31:21
judgement. OK, Once you've done that, let
31:27
me know. OK?
31:29
Sorry, I had nod. Do you want to tell us what you
31:30
experienced there? Yes, it's.
31:31
Really OK with the sleeve stacks from the lay of alarms and.
31:51
And what did you observe there? I observed.
31:55
The. Game OK, perfect.
31:58
So you just observed the game? Anyone else experience something
32:01
there? OK, we've got a nod head there,
32:02
can you chat? The ancient discovery would be
32:03
the. Discovery of cement, actually.
32:10
We'll say that again. Sorry.
32:10
Cement, Cement. The discovery of cement.
32:13
Yeah, which actually stronger name of today's.
32:17
So I'm just looking at it from the top.
32:19
It's like a labyrinth. So the game is.
32:22
Get the hell away. From that.
32:27
Minotaur OK, just. Going to enjoy that.
32:29
Show perfect. So you've got cement and I so
32:31
imagine if it's a minotaur, there's there's a maze there of
32:34
concrete of cement and they have to escape this kind of very
32:37
oppressive kind of maze. And you were observing the
32:40
objective of escaping from the Minotaur.
32:43
Now in all of those cases, and you all came up with something
32:46
very different, even though the actual frame, the variables are
32:50
exactly the same, but you all came up with something
32:52
different. And notice how quickly you could
32:55
go to that place. That's how, that's how fast your
32:57
imagination can work. So imagination, in my opinion,
33:02
is A4 dimensional realm. Why does this matter for
33:05
hypnotherapists? OK, raise your hand here if you
33:08
work with someone with trauma or PTSD.
33:11
OK, how many of the clients you've worked with are really
33:14
going back to a past? Yeah.
33:18
OK, that's 4 dimensional thinking.
33:20
OK, they don't live in that past, but they're going back to
33:24
that past. And how many of them take a
33:26
first person perspective? That horrible traumatic thing
33:30
that happened, they're back in their body and it's happening
33:34
again. It wasn't bad enough that they
33:36
experienced it the first time, they're now experiencing that
33:39
again and again. OK, anyone work with anyone that
33:45
ruminates over a memory? Might not be OK Raised hand
33:48
there. So it's kind of like that might
33:50
be a cringe worthy moment of embarrassment.
33:53
You know how many of you have said something a bit silly and
33:57
played that again and again in your head?
33:59
OK, that rumination is 4 dimensional thinking because you
34:04
can't teleport back to that moment, but your brain is going
34:09
back there anyway. Would you consider grief in some
34:13
cases like that? OK, so we're travelling through
34:17
space and time and we're experiencing real emotions, real
34:21
pain from something that isn't happening that has happened, if
34:26
that makes sense. Anyone, either yourself or your
34:29
clients spend a lot of time in the future.
34:33
Anticipatory fear, anxiety, anticipatory grief.
34:39
Yeah, most phobias are that spending a lot of time going
34:43
down the rabbit hole of but what if this, what if this, what if
34:46
this? I would say that is 4
34:49
dimensional thinking because they're doing things in in a in
34:53
a way that can't happen. And if you worked with anyone
34:56
that is living in a different world to reality.
35:04
OK, schizophrenics, conspiracy theorists, fantasists.
35:12
OK, they're spending a lot of time in a reality that isn't
35:15
necessarily what everyone else would consider a reality, but
35:19
that's where they live in their alternative reality.
35:23
That's 4 dimensional thinking. I would also say that taking a
35:28
different person's perspective can also be a form of four
35:32
dimensional thinking. Now that might be in a good way,
35:36
like empathy. So if you've ever worked with
35:39
someone, if you've had this, you can really feel how many of you
35:43
would describe yourself as empaths.
35:44
By the way, a lot of therapists are, because it's that
35:48
superpower of being able to kind of really feel what it would
35:52
feel like to take on something that you may not have
35:54
experienced yourself, but you're spending time there anyway.
35:59
And that element is a is a perceptual change.
36:02
That's 4 dimensional thinking. My belief is that imagination is
36:07
A4 dimensional realm and an infinite playground of
36:12
possibility. Dale just did a talk before
36:15
lunch about metaphor and why I think 4 dimensions is such a
36:19
powerful metaphor is the very nature of it gives us infinite
36:24
possibilities because we only had four different frames there.
36:29
So the time, the perception, the reality, and the objective.
36:35
And we were able, just by rolling a dice, to come up with
36:38
something entirely new. Therefore, this isn't a metaphor
36:41
that can expire. This isn't a metaphor that can
36:45
run out of gas. It gives you infinite
36:47
possibilities to interact either with yourself or a client.
36:52
Now if imagination is A4 dimensional realm, I believe it
36:56
is there are two parallels to A4 dimensional reality.
37:01
I don't think we can experience A4 dimensional reality, but we
37:05
can get close to it. And I think one way in which we
37:09
could do that is digitally. Has anyone here used AVR
37:13
headset? OK, And how many of you kind of
37:18
believed temporarily that was your reality?
37:23
Has anyone seen those YouTube clips of people like punching a
37:25
wall or like running away into something?
37:28
They're there, OK. And that takes a perception and
37:33
puts it into a different reality.
37:35
There was a lot of excitement. Facebook changed their name to
37:37
Meta, if anyone remembers that. Because we were all going to be
37:41
living in a metaverse and and spending all this time.
37:43
I think it may happen later than we think, but it will happen.
37:47
We're going to be spending a lot of time in a reality that is it
37:50
looks like a three-dimensional reality, but it isn't.
37:53
You're going to be quite static, if that makes sense.
37:56
Now, I'm not a coder. I think we might have a couple
37:59
of coders in the room. So therefore the metaverse and
38:03
these virtual realities probably aren't that useful.
38:06
As a parallel for us, we're hypnotists and therefore we're
38:10
pretty good. We've got the sensory acuity,
38:12
the skill set, the rapport abilities to actually interact
38:16
with other people's imagination. And therefore, you know, we can
38:22
help clients navigate their problem, but with a different
38:27
level of thinking. It was a three-dimensional
38:29
reality that probably caused their problem, you know, some
38:32
kind of crisis, some kind of reward from doing something.
38:36
But actually the thinking is keeping them stuck in a
38:39
particular way. And to use that Einstein quote,
38:44
what if we can use a different level of thinking to help that
38:47
client deal with that particular problem?
38:49
And that's where the four dimensional thinking comes in.
38:53
Now there would be a clue, wouldn't there?
38:55
If the imagination is like a four dimensional realm, there
38:59
should be loads of therapeutic techniques that already use 4
39:02
dimensional thinking. OK.
39:05
So just nod your head or raise your hand.
39:06
I'm gonna say a few of these. Timeline therapy if you're
39:10
familiar. OK, regression.
39:14
OK future pacing. OK, Perceptual positions,
39:20
associated disassociated, some modality shifts.
39:25
OK, parts therapy, metaphor journeys.
39:30
That gives us a pretty good clue that what we're working with is
39:34
definitely not a three-dimensional reality,
39:37
because so many techniques are based on the premise of things
39:40
that can only happen in A4 dimensional realm, right?
39:46
Time, I would say, is one of the key things here.
39:48
Now regression to cause or regression to a resource state.
39:53
How many people use regression? A lot.
39:56
OK, so you're already doing 4 dimensional thinking, but what
40:00
if we could use additional tools that use the four dimensional
40:04
element to give them an even richer experience?
40:08
How many of you use time distortion, by the way?
40:12
OK, so we can slow down something.
40:14
We can speed it up that temporal compression and expansion.
40:21
And different perspectives in time.
40:22
How many of you, by the way, have worked with an addict and
40:26
taken them to the deathbed or the inevitable consequence?
40:32
So a few hands are going up there of that.
40:35
Now. It is a spatial perceptual
40:37
shift, but it is also, more importantly, a time perspective
40:41
shift. We're actually putting them in a
40:44
position where they get to see their choices that lead up to
40:47
that ripple effect of where they are right now.
40:51
And in most cases, that creates the motivation to change.
40:56
It's the point that they get to see the future that will happen.
41:01
Anyone familiar with the Dickens pattern?
41:04
Yeah, that's the premise, isn't it?
41:06
You kind of get to see the the consequence, feel the emotional
41:10
weight of that. I would say the Dickens pattern
41:11
is absolutely 4 dimensional thinking.
41:15
So I'm going to talk through a few examples of how I've used 4
41:19
dimensional thinking or metaphors with clients.
41:23
So rather than this being theoretical, it then becomes a
41:26
bit more tangible, if that makes sense.
41:29
Now one of the things I like to do is to use movies as
41:33
frameworks of metaphors because it helps give me a structure of
41:37
what to do within the session. Has anyone seen a movie called
41:41
The Butterfly Effect? Few nodding in the head.
41:45
It's not a great movie. It's not a great movie, but it's
41:49
a great concept of a movie. Anyone remember the the premise
41:53
of how the Ashton Kutcher character gets to teleport
41:56
through time? OK, memories, basically photos,
42:03
journals, those kind of things. And the premise is he goes back
42:08
to that point, makes a change, and that ripples through his
42:12
reality. Now, the twist in the movie is
42:14
that it always has an unintended negative consequence.
42:17
OK, isn't that what timeline therapy is?
42:20
To kind of go back to a time, make a shift, and then it
42:23
ripples through to the present and then the future.
42:27
But here's the interesting thing, OK, and I'm going to use
42:29
this anyone familiar with with the term wormhole.
42:34
OK, so I'm going to put my. Mic down for a second.
42:36
This would. Be linear time.
42:38
So time's here to move forward. OK, you've heard of the fabric
42:44
of space-time. OK, essentially, if you imagine
42:48
this is the past and this is the present, a wormhole would be if
42:53
they touch. That's effectively what a
42:56
wormhole would be. So here's an interesting idea
42:59
for you. What if your client's most
43:04
emotive memories are the wormholes to navigate back to a
43:11
time? And it doesn't have to be the
43:14
time of the moment of trauma or of the moment of a coping
43:18
strategy. You could think of a very vivid
43:21
memory that was months before that, and that's still useful.
43:26
And then it becomes you get away from any kind of triggering
43:29
events. Has anyone heard of the term
43:32
flash bulb memory syndrome? OK, does everyone, for those old
43:38
enough, everyone know where they were on the day of 911?
43:42
OK, that's a flash bulb memory syndrome.
43:45
I remember where I was, I was working in APR agency and this
43:49
PR agency had a wall of TV screens and I saw planes going
43:52
into the the towers on about 10 different screens
43:55
simultaneously. And that was a long time ago for
43:59
me. That was 2627 years ago.
44:01
But I'm able to get back to that exact, and I'm in the exact same
44:05
perceptual position that I was looking at that wall of TV
44:09
screens. I would consider that a wormhole
44:12
because we've collapsed 27 years or so into a way to get back to
44:18
that point. Now, how this becomes really,
44:21
really useful is you can use either emotive memories or kind
44:27
of firsts. Ever remember their first kiss?
44:31
Yeah, well, that could be a bridge through space and time to
44:35
get you to that point. And there's probably things
44:38
happening around that time. You had resources back then that
44:43
you're not tapping into right now.
44:45
There is ways of thinking that you had back then that you could
44:49
utilise. So why not use the client's most
44:53
emotive memories as wormholes to take regression to a whole
44:59
different level, if that makes sense.
45:01
And I, I've done this, there was a recent client that I had with
45:06
burning mouth syndrome. Burning mouth syndrome, if
45:09
you're not familiar with this, is where you feel like your
45:11
tongue is constantly on fire, constantly burning, even though
45:16
there is no neurological reason why that takes place.
45:20
It's almost like a physical pain, kind of like how tinnitus
45:23
is, if it's not the tinnitus from a natural kind of
45:26
biological cause. OK, But it's really powerful if
45:31
you're working with that, to reawaken the neural pathways.
45:34
That knows what it's like not to have that now.
45:38
They don't know when it started, but they do know that time that
45:43
they had the most delicious ice cream ever.
45:46
Can anyone think of a time when you had amazing ice cream?
45:50
OK, perhaps in a specific part of the world that you don't
45:53
normally visit. OK, bizarre things can also be a
45:58
wormhole. When I was five years old, on my
46:00
birthday, I was in my garden. It was garden party and
46:04
neighborhood kids threw over the wall candy, sweets that look
46:11
like dentures. Loads of them.
46:14
It's just raining these kind of sweet dentures.
46:18
Now I'm 47 years old. That was 42 years ago and I can
46:24
find myself back in that garden. Why?
46:27
Because of the randomness, because of the weirdness of the
46:30
situation. So what I would encourage you to
46:34
do when you're thinking about kind of clients is see if you
46:37
can elicit very, very powerful emotive memories or odd things.
46:45
And, and it's the uniqueness of the thing that makes it easier
46:49
to go back to that moment than if it's something like if I
46:52
said, go back to an average day in high school where you're
46:54
learning something boring, it's pretty difficult.
46:58
But you could go back to a day in high school where something
47:01
really odd happened much easier, if that makes sense.
47:05
So that's one way of using vivid memories or remotive memories as
47:09
wormholes. OK.
47:12
I was working with a client that was raped when she was 15 years
47:15
old in a graveyard. Horrible, horrible situation.
47:19
She thought as an older boy, say, hey, let's meet up.
47:23
He had a malicious plan, you know, he, he knew exactly what
47:27
he was doing. She was vulnerable, excited
47:29
about meeting a a boy like she hadn't had a relationship up to
47:33
that point. Horrible ruined future
47:35
relationships for decades. And you could imagine that when
47:39
she went back to that memory, not a pleasant memory, but she
47:43
had gone back to that day many times, thousands of times
47:48
probably Each time she was the victim of something horrific and
47:55
brutal. And in her mind, she framed it
47:58
as shameful. She couldn't tell anyone.
48:00
All of this kind of emotional baggage.
48:03
So again, this is another movie metaphor.
48:06
There's a movie called Tenet. My favorite director is Chris
48:10
Nolan. So that's why when I talk about
48:12
nested loops, I call it the Inception induction because it's
48:15
kind of based on based on the premise of that dreams within
48:17
dreams. But Tenet was a different film,
48:20
not widely appreciated by the audience, but it had a unique
48:25
premise. And that premise is that people
48:28
could go backwards and forwards in time and meet at a specific
48:34
moment. OK, in the movie they called it
48:37
a temporal pincer movement, going backwards and forwards in
48:41
time to meet at the crunch point.
48:45
Now I'll, I'll share with you how I worked with this lady that
48:48
was raped in the graveyard. We created three different
48:52
versions of her. The version of her from the
48:57
future arriving to that point, that time in the graveyard.
49:02
OK. The version of her at her
49:05
current at the age where it happened, but with the knowledge
49:08
of what was about to happen also colliding with that moment, and
49:13
her present self also there. There are now 3 versions of her
49:20
all meeting at the point where it happens.
49:23
OK, now this does several things at the same time.
49:28
One. Yeah, the future version of her
49:32
going backwards in time. So kind of think of it as the
49:35
rewind technique. OK, everything's happened if you
49:38
if you've seen the Tenet movie, like everything's happening
49:41
backwards, but they're kind of making decisions forward.
49:44
So they see everything kind of happening in reverse.
49:47
OK, so it's it's that it's like a rewind technique, but going
49:50
back to that point, the version of her in the past, but with the
49:55
knowledge of what was about to happen, absolute knowledge of
49:58
what was about to happen. It wasn't an ambush.
50:00
It wasn't a surprise anymore because she knew it was about to
50:02
happen. She could take that perception.
50:05
And then also her present that had been living with this trauma
50:08
for decades, also going back to that moment.
50:13
OK, now every time she took a different perceptual position,
50:18
it's like a pattern interrupt because normally it would be
50:22
exactly the same perception every single time and horrible
50:27
things would happen. It wasn't updated, but her going
50:30
from the future backwards messed up the pattern because people
50:33
aren't expecting to see reality happening in reverse.
50:37
When she was going into it knowing what was about to
50:39
happen, she felt more prepared and emboldened by that, and the
50:43
present version of herself wanted to create some justice in
50:47
that moment. What was a traumatic memory
50:50
ended up being a three person ambush on this 18 year old guy.
50:56
OK, the emotions went from the unfairness, the trauma, the
51:01
shock to let's fucking get him. That was a powerful reframe for
51:07
her. But it did the two key things
51:11
that links to 4 dimensional thinking and that is perceptual
51:15
changes and the distortion of time, if that makes sense.
51:20
So I call this the the temporal pincer movement.
51:23
And, and where it works really well is if clients are going
51:27
back to a traumatic moment and the narrative that they give to
51:30
it is still disempowering in their future.
51:32
Up until that point, her narrative would be that person
51:39
stole my trust in men. That person ruined my, my, my
51:45
kind of 20s that the more teenagers, that person did all
51:48
that. She was the victim in every
51:49
story of this. Now, how I frame it for clients
51:53
is that we cannot change the past, but we can change the
51:56
meaning that we give to the past and the emotions that we draw
52:00
from it. And for her, it shifted very,
52:03
very quickly. It went from disempowering to
52:05
empowering. It went from victim to a, a kind
52:09
of a survivor. And also there's an NLP
52:13
technique called Change Past History that also takes place.
52:17
So it's one metaphor that almost kind of clusters together so
52:24
many different powerful therapeutic techniques and
52:27
collides into one. And the great thing is it's
52:30
super easy to remember as a therapist because you're like,
52:34
there's one point in time and the future is going back to it.
52:37
The past is going towards it and the present is also there, and
52:41
that has the perceptual positions that change and can
52:43
give an entirely different outcome.
52:47
So then, and, and it was incredible that the
52:49
physiological shifts I saw in that session when she thought
52:53
back to that day in the graveyard smile, first time
52:56
she'd ever thought about that and smiled because it's like,
52:59
right, that's what should have happened.
53:01
OK, we can't change the past, but we can change the perception
53:05
of it, if that makes sense. Anyone familiar with what an
53:11
event horizon is? OK, what's an event horizon?
53:26
That would be a very good interpretation of it.
53:30
It is a boundary of a black hole.
53:32
So effectively the the event horizon is the point where all
53:39
they call it, the singularity, the point where everything
53:42
beyond that point is unknown. We can't measure beyond the
53:46
event horizon. There's theories and there's a
53:50
very long word. I think it's like de
53:52
spaghettalisation, something like that, horrible things that
53:55
probably happened beyond the the event horizon, but nobody really
53:59
knows because you can't ever measure it.
54:00
Not even space and time can escape from a black hole.
54:06
So therefore, it's a really good metaphor to explore different
54:11
realities. So again, real client, real
54:15
situation. I was working with a lady that
54:17
had breast cancer. She had a tumour on her breast
54:22
and she had an MRI scan to figure out what was happening
54:27
with the tumour. Was it getting smaller, was it
54:30
getting more aggressive? Had it become benign?
54:33
All of these possible outcomes. What do you think the natural
54:37
tendency to do is if you have a scan like that and you're
54:41
waiting for the results, what would you do in that situation?
54:48
Yeah, you're going to be going down the rabbit holes thinking
54:50
of every possible connotation, but probably in quite a
54:54
disempowering, anxious way. OK, so with this particular
54:58
client, we did this element of and, and by the way, they're in
55:02
their reality. If you do a a guided hypnosis
55:05
session where you take them to a black hole, I mean that's as far
55:10
as you can get from their reality, if that makes sense.
55:13
In doing so, what we said is they go into the black hole
55:18
beyond the event horizon. And again, it's another movie
55:21
metaphor that I've taken from Interstellar because that's how
55:26
he enters the tesseract. If you imagine that kind of
55:29
never ending bookcase that's kind of takes place and he goes
55:31
back in time and he communicates with his younger self through
55:35
the ticking of a watch. But the premise is that happens
55:37
beyond the event horizon. That's what enters the
55:40
tesseract, which is A4 dimensional shape, which then is
55:43
now possible to navigate through space and time.
55:46
So I did that with this client. Very easy to remember because
55:49
all I have to remember is black hole and, you know, explore
55:53
every possible situation around that, multiple realities.
55:58
So she got to explore every possible situation but give it
56:02
an empowering outcome in every single case.
56:05
She got to see her getting the news that it was benign and she
56:09
saw herself looking pretty happy that it just dissolved and
56:14
disappeared. All of these different
56:16
connotations. Now, if it was just law of
56:19
attraction manifestation stuff, you would stick there and just
56:21
say like, what reality do you want?
56:24
And therefore imagine that vividly step inside that.
56:28
OK, That was a part of it because this particular client
56:31
believed in that. But I would say personally, it
56:35
would be unethical to only give the client good possible
56:40
outcomes from a future situation.
56:43
So we didn't do that. What we actually did is got her
56:47
to also see her getting bad news.
56:51
You know, the tumor was growing, it was getting more aggressive,
56:55
and crucially that she had the resources to cope with that.
57:00
OK, now in this kind of anticipatory fear of, but what
57:05
if this happens? What if this happens?
57:07
What if this happens? It was like, whatever happens,
57:10
she can cope. Whatever happens, she's going to
57:12
deal with it in the most resourceful way possible, OK.
57:17
And that can make it empowering. I would say where I use this
57:20
kind of event horizon type of stuff is if there is something
57:25
will happen but you don't know what it is, OK, that's that's
57:30
the time for that. So I would use temporal pincer
57:33
movement as a moment of trauma, and I would use wormholes to go
57:38
back to a resource state before the problem situation happened.
57:41
So we can use. Change past history.
57:44
The event horizon is if there is multiple possibilities that feel
57:48
daunting or kind of scary to a client, if that makes sense.
57:53
And it has this element of Schrodinger's cat, of is the cat
57:59
in the gas chamber alive or kind of dead?
58:03
In A4 dimensional reality, all the possibilities exist.
58:08
And this is the premise behind the double slit experiment that
58:12
actually certain particles behave differently depending on
58:16
if they're being observed. This element of observation I
58:20
also use, raise your hand here. If you ever have had the
58:25
experience that you feel like someone was watching you, but
58:29
you couldn't put your finger on why.
58:32
OK, that's a freaky feeling, right?
58:34
But almost everyone in this room nodded their head when I said
58:36
that. OK, here's how I use that.
58:40
That moment that you've thought someone was watching you.
58:44
What if that was your future self going back to that moment?
58:48
And then they get the chills down the back of the neck and
58:51
they're like, oh fuck. But it has that premise because
58:56
they have perceptual evidence that they felt, not thought, but
59:00
felt that someone was watching them in that moment.
59:05
And you get to be that person because there's already a bridge
59:09
there. And then from there, you might
59:13
give them advice. How many of you do in a child
59:15
work? OK, so a great little bridge to
59:20
add to that is, was there ever a time as a child that you just
59:24
felt like someone someone was present, but you couldn't figure
59:27
out why? Take them back to that point and
59:31
then have them take that perception before doing the
59:33
inner child work is going to be profoundly different than if you
59:37
just say, can you think of a childhood memory or invite your
59:40
inner child into the room? That distinction really connects
59:44
with them on a different level, if that makes sense.
59:49
Appreciate talking like any questions that anyone has at
59:51
this particular point. No.
59:58
This is a very long confusion induction, I can tell.
1:00:01
OK, so here's here's how I'm going to end this session
1:00:06
because normally when I do this, I have an hour and normally it's
1:00:09
on a big screen so you can see these cool pictures of
1:00:11
tesseracts and those kind of things.
1:00:13
But what I'm going to do now is, and I'll tell you what I
1:00:16
normally do so you can hear how it's different.
1:00:19
Normally I've got 6 different 4 dimensional hypnotherapy
1:00:23
experiences. You would roll the dice and I
1:00:26
would do one of them depending on what comes up.
1:00:29
So we may introduce the randomness, but given that we've
1:00:32
got a little bit more time, I think we've got about 15 minutes
1:00:35
here. I'm going to see how many of
1:00:37
these things that we can actually kind of get into a
1:00:40
single session. So you get to experience
1:00:43
multiple different things. Sound good?
1:00:46
Perfect. Right.
1:00:55
So get yourself comfortable, take a deep breath in, and as
1:01:06
you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and
1:01:12
relaxation. And as you exhale, feel a
1:01:18
wonderful sense of release, as if any tension, stress, all
1:01:25
worries are leaving your body in your outward breath, Breathing
1:01:32
and relaxation, exhaling tension, each breath taking you
1:01:37
deeper and deeper, relaxed. And as you breathe in and
1:01:45
breathe out, I want you to think of a wonderful memory, perhaps
1:01:51
the most joyous memory of your life.
1:01:56
A moment you felt bliss or happy, ecstatic, or just pure
1:02:03
joy. And as you breathe in and
1:02:06
breathe out, I want you to imagine going back to that
1:02:11
memory as an observer, seeing you as you were back there in
1:02:19
that wonderful state of pure joy.
1:02:25
And I want you to play the game of mimicry.
1:02:29
I want you to watch that younger version of you experiencing that
1:02:32
wonderful pleasure emotion and breathe how they breathe.
1:02:40
Make your facial expressions like their facial expression.
1:02:46
Change your posture so it's like their posture.
1:02:52
I just get a sense that as you make those tiny adjustments,
1:02:58
you're starting to feel how they feel.
1:03:05
And then I want you to imagine stepping into that version of
1:03:08
you and feeling that sensation as if it's happening right now.
1:03:19
Feel that wonderful pleasure, that bliss, that joy, and just
1:03:24
allow it to expand in your body. Wherever the location of that
1:03:30
feeling is, just grow it, amplify it.
1:03:35
Feel a frequency of that feeling, and from that place I
1:03:43
want you to imagine a time in your life where something
1:03:49
happened. But it could have.
1:03:52
Gone a different way, maybe a big decision, maybe something
1:03:59
that happened that you responded to.
1:04:07
And I want you to imagine observing that version of you
1:04:10
from the imagination of that version of you in pure joy and
1:04:14
bliss. And I want you to imagine
1:04:20
rewinding that particular point and creating that sliding doors
1:04:26
moment. I want you to duplicate that
1:04:30
version of you and create two different timelines.
1:04:36
Keep the timeline that happened and introduce a new timeline if
1:04:43
one change took place. Allow yourself to be the
1:04:49
observer as you see the version of you continuing and the
1:04:53
version of you that followed a different path.
1:05:00
As you breathe in and breathe out as the observer, I wonder
1:05:06
what insights you get from the new reality.
1:05:12
Because sometimes we think back to a memory and think, if only
1:05:17
it was different. But what if the key thing is not
1:05:24
what happened, but the insights and perceptions and narrative of
1:05:31
what happened? And what if what happened back
1:05:35
then was needed to happen to take you to where you are now?
1:05:42
And I want you to see those parallel universes and then
1:05:47
imagine, imagine that parallel universe multiplies to infinite
1:05:53
levels. I wonder if you could imagine a
1:05:59
multiverse of infinite other realities.
1:06:06
You at the same age, exactly your genetics.
1:06:11
But I want you to imagine we're going to float through space and
1:06:14
time to the version of you that exists somewhere in the
1:06:20
multiverse, living the best life for you, the life where you're
1:06:29
happiest, most fulfilled. And maybe that's this life.
1:06:35
But just imagine there's another version of you that has an even
1:06:41
better life, and I wonder what would happen if you observed
1:06:51
that version of you. Like an invisible entity just
1:06:57
observing that version of you that might be healthier, more
1:07:04
fulfilled, has more of what you desire.
1:07:11
I want you to notice all of the insights, the boundaries they
1:07:17
have, the beliefs they have, the strategies they have.
1:07:25
And as you observe this, consider yourself an
1:07:30
interdimensional detective. You are observing this version
1:07:36
of you living the best possible life based on your value system.
1:07:42
And then rewind that life and see what they did to achieve it.
1:07:52
Just imagine everything going backwards because everything
1:07:57
makes sense when you look back in time.
1:08:01
And I wonder if you could see that version of you and learn
1:08:07
not just who you are, but how you became that version of you.
1:08:13
See the choices, see the resources, and then see yourself
1:08:19
at a point in time where you look the most resourceful and
1:08:25
then step into that version of you and feel what it would feel
1:08:31
like to awaken all of those resources within you.
1:08:38
All of those resources are now activating in your neural
1:08:46
pathways, hard wired into your neurology.
1:08:51
What that version of you can do, you can do and awaken that.
1:09:00
And while you're in that multiverse, I want you to
1:09:04
imagine seeing a blank piece of paper with a straight light.
1:09:12
And I want you to imagine what it would be like to be that
1:09:17
line. The simplicity of being A1
1:09:20
dimensional entity. Feel the simplicity, feel the
1:09:28
clarity. And then turn that straight line
1:09:33
into a square and you become the square.
1:09:37
You are now a 2 dimensional shape.
1:09:41
No up, no down, just a flat surface.
1:09:45
And notice that compared to the line you have infinite more
1:09:48
options. And as you become the square,
1:09:53
allow yourself to grow upwards to become a three-dimensional
1:10:00
cube. Feel that you are solid, you
1:10:04
have volume, and you can have perception from any point on
1:10:11
that cube breathing in and breathing out.
1:10:16
And then just imagine the cube is transforming, extending
1:10:20
beyond itself, that the cube grows and then folds within
1:10:25
itself as you experience what it would be like to be a cube
1:10:32
transforming into a tesseract. And just feel that feeling of
1:10:39
now being a four dimensional entity.
1:10:46
And this 4 dimensional entity can exist in any place at any
1:10:50
time. It knows all of the future and
1:10:54
all of the past. You could go back and harness
1:10:59
the resources of scientists, of engineers, of the most powerful
1:11:06
thinkers that have ever existed. Activate the creativity, the
1:11:12
compassion, all of those wonderful resources.
1:11:16
And then imagine harnessing future resources.
1:11:21
The most intelligent person that hasn't been born yet, the most
1:11:27
creative person to exist in the future and just harnessed and
1:11:33
harvest all of those resources and feel how it would feel to
1:11:40
awaken them within you, to ripple through space and time,
1:11:47
to activate you at your most powerful.
1:11:53
And then imagine floating. Through.
1:11:58
To the center of a Galaxy and going beyond the event horizon
1:12:05
where no known reality exists, and feel how powerful it would
1:12:12
be to instantly access any point in time.
1:12:17
And I wonder if there's been a time in your past that was
1:12:21
traumatic, embarrassing, a point of regret.
1:12:29
And I wonder what it would be like to go back to that point in
1:12:33
time, not as you are and not as you were.
1:12:36
Imagine going back to that time before it happened, but knowing
1:12:42
what was about to happen. Take that perception and feel
1:12:49
you have future knowledge before you access that point.
1:12:56
And then imagine a future version of you going back to
1:13:00
that point from the future. Take their perception.
1:13:05
Imagine going back to that point and feeling how it would feel to
1:13:13
collide in that moment with the present version of you.
1:13:16
Also there with one specific objective that knowing what you
1:13:24
now know, what would you like to have happened differently?
1:13:32
And the great thing is, is that you can do this as many times as
1:13:35
you want until it's exactly as you would have wanted it to have
1:13:40
been. You can Fast forward the
1:13:44
rewinded version of you and then collide back.
1:13:47
You can give even more knowledge.
1:13:50
Consider it like Groundhog Day, where you can repeat and repeat
1:13:54
and repeat until it's exactly as you would want it to be.
1:14:00
And then when it's as you would want it to be, let me know by
1:14:03
nodding your head. That's it.
1:14:10
And if it hasn't happened yet, just consider this work for your
1:14:17
unconscious mind to continue doing, to keep changing and
1:14:21
colliding with that moment, to extract all of the wisdom and to
1:14:26
change the past as you would want it to be.
1:14:32
And now it's time to leave this place of interdimensions, of
1:14:36
multiverses and event horizons, and allow yourself to float all
1:14:41
the way back to the present, taking all of those insights,
1:14:46
resources, and wonderful feelings with you.
1:14:52
Very soon I will count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you and you
1:14:56
will awaken with those resources.
1:14:58
So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
1:15:03
nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
1:15:05
wiggle your toes. Connect and calibrate with the
1:15:09
here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
1:15:14
you. Starting to count. 123 waking up
1:15:18
456 more alerts 7-8. Open your eyes.
1:15:20
Open your eyes. 910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
1:15:25
awake. OK, how did that feel?
1:15:31
Yeah, a bit surreal, a bit weird.
1:15:34
Any interesting insights anyone wants to share from that?
1:15:39
Yeah, pretty deep and, and lots of different things to that.
1:15:46
This presentation is being recorded right now because I
1:15:48
appreciate we've gone over quite a lot.
1:15:49
I'm going to be syncing my audio with the video that I'm
1:15:52
recording. These notes, two previous
1:15:55
versions of this presentation are also going to be on there.
1:15:58
So if you scan the QR code that is at the bottom of the handout
1:16:04
right now, it's just going to ask for your name and e-mail
1:16:06
that tags it for me. And then as soon as I've
1:16:08
uploaded all those stuff, I'll send an e-mail and you can
1:16:10
access all of it. Also, if you don't have a
1:16:14
handout, you can just scan this QR code before you leave.
1:16:16
That's also a way that you can do that.
1:16:19
And at some point in the future, I'm going to be building a very
1:16:22
detailed course with all of these techniques in there.
1:16:24
You'll be notified of that course when it's available.
1:16:27
I appreciate there's been lots of great speakers happening
1:16:28
exactly this time. I thank you for your time and
1:16:30
your attention. Thank you so much for being
1:16:32
here.
