00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.200
Quantum youth the land where no one
is old. I' d like you

2
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:11.439
to join me on a discovery trip. We will explore a place where the

3
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:17.760
rules of everyday existence do not apply. These rules explicitly say that aging,

4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:22.280
becoming fragile and dying is the ultimate
destiny of all, and so it has

5
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:27.600
happened century after century. However,
I want you to put on hold your

6
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.519
assumptions about what we call reality,
so that we can become pioneers in a

7
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.759
land where youthful vigor, renewal,
creativity, joy, satisfaction and temporality are

8
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:40.520
common experiences of everyday life, where
old age, senectud, disability and death

9
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:47.759
do not exist and are not even
taken into account as a possibility. If

10
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.359
there is such a place, what
prevents us from going there? It is

11
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:57.000
not a dark continental mass or a
dangerous sea not recorded on maps. It

12
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.439
is our conditioning, our vision of
the world today and the lens that our

13
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:06.239
parents, teachers and society taught us. This way of seeing the things of

14
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:11.879
the old paradigm has just been called
a hypnosis of social conditioning, an induced

15
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:19.040
fiction and in which we have all
collectively agreed to participate your body ages without

16
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.000
you being able to dominate it,
because it has been programmed to comply with

17
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.840
the rules of that collective conditioning.
If there is something natural and inevitable in

18
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.560
the aging process, it will not
be possible to know until the chains of

19
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.359
our ancient beliefs are broken in order
to create the ageless body experience and timeless

20
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.760
mind, which is the promise of
this book. You need to rule out

21
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.359
ten assumptions about who you are and
what the true nature of mind and body

22
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.319
is. These assumptions form the foundation
of the world view that we share.

23
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:55.159
They' re one. There is
an objective world independent of the observer and

24
00:01:55.239 --> 00:02:00.000
our bodies are one aspect of this
objective world two. The body is composed

25
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.560
of masses of matter separated from each
other. In time and space three.

26
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.240
Mind and body are separate and independent
things. One from the other four.

27
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:16.400
Materialism is primary. Conscience is secondary. In other words, we are physical

28
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:22.520
machines that have learned to think five. Human consciousness can be fully explained as

29
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:29.400
a product of biochemistry. Six,
as individuals, are disconnected and self-

30
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.000
sufficient entities. Seven. Our perception
of the world is automatic and gives us

31
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:40.479
a proper picture of how things really
are. Eight, our true nature is

32
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:46.520
fully defined by body, self and
personality. We are brisses of memories and

33
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.520
desires enclosed in packages of flesh and
bones. Nine, time exists as absolute

34
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.719
and we are captive to that absolute. No one escapes the ravages of time.

35
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.360
It is necessary to be part of
reality. We are inevitable victims of

36
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:12.439
disease, aging and death. These
assumptions go far beyond aging. Define a

37
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.560
world of separation decadence and death.
Time is seen as a prison from which

38
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.639
no one escapes. Our body is
a biochemical machine that, like all machines,

39
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:27.919
must end up stopping at a certain
age. He affirmed the Sthames.

40
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.560
Once it is in our nature to
wear ourselves out, to fall into trouble

41
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:36.439
and die. And that' s
all this posture. The hard line of

42
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:43.639
materialistic science overlooks much of human nature. We are the only creatures on earth

43
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.280
who can change their biology for what
they think and feel. We have the

44
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.759
only nervous system that has awareness of
him, phenomenon of aging. Lions and

45
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.879
old tigers don' t realize what' s happening to them, but we

46
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:02.560
do and as we are aware of
things. Our state of mind influences that

47
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.520
of which we have consciousness. It
would be impossible to isolate a single thought,

48
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.000
a feeling, a single belief or
assumption that has no effect on aging

49
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:18.399
directly or indirectly. Our cells are
constantly heard to our thoughts and are changed

50
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:26.000
by them. A depression attack can
cause disasters in the immune system. Falling

51
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.399
in love can strengthen him. Despair
and lack of hope increase the risk of

52
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:36.040
heart attacks or cancer, thus shortening
life. Joy and satisfaction keep us healthy

53
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:42.959
and prolong life. This means that
it is not possible to draw with certainty

54
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.560
the line between biology and psychology.
The memory of a attention that is only

55
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:51.040
a brisna of thought releases the same
torrent of destructive hormones as the tension itself

56
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:58.199
as the mind, influences all the
cells of the body. Human aging is

57
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.720
fluid and changing. It can be
accelerated, delayed, timed and even reversed.

58
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:09.079
Hundreds of scientific discoveries over the past
three decades have verified that aging depends

59
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.720
on the individual to a much greater
degree than has ever been dreamed of.

60
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.600
However, the most significant discovery is
not found in isolated findings, but in

61
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:25.319
a completely new world view. The
ten assumptions of the old paradigm do not

62
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.759
accurately describe our reality. They are
inventions of the human mind that we have

63
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:34.279
become rules to challenge aging at its
very center. This whole vision of the

64
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.560
world must be challenged first, for
nothing has more power over the body than

65
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.759
the beliefs of the mind. Each
assumption of the old paradigm can be replaced

66
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:47.639
with a more complete and expanded version
of truth. These new assumptions are also

67
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.519
only ideas created by the human mind, but they give us much more freedom

68
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:57.360
and power. They give us the
ability to rewrite the aging program that now

69
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:03.040
directs our cells. The ten new
assumptions are one. The physical world,

70
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:08.920
including our bodies. It' s
a reaction from the observer we created.

71
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:14.399
The body, as we create the
experience of our world two in its essential

72
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.879
state. The body is composed of
energy and information, not solid matter.

73
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:24.360
This energy and information is an outcropping
of infinite fields of energy and information that

74
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:30.000
span the universe three. The mind
and body are inseparably one. The unity

75
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:35.199
that I am is separated into two
streams of experience. I experience the subjective

76
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:41.879
current as ideas, feelings and desires. I experience objective current like my body.

77
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.240
However, on a deeper plane,
the two currents are found in a

78
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.000
single creative source. It is from
this source that we must live four.

79
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:58.079
The biochemistry of the body is a
product of consciousness, beliefs, thoughts and

80
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.199
emotions create the chemical reactions s NS
sustain life in each cell. An aged

81
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.319
cell is the final product of consciousness
that has forgotten how to stay new.

82
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:13.160
Five, Perception seems to be automatic, but it' s actually a learned

83
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.120
phenomenon. The world in which you
live, including the experience of your body,

84
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:21.120
is completely inspired by the way you
learned to perceive it. If you

85
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.360
change your perception, you change the
experience of your body and your world.

86
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.639
Six, there are impulses of intelligence
that create new forms in your body every

87
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.800
second. What you are equals the
total sum of these impulses. By changing

88
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:42.040
their schematics, you' ll change
seven. Even if each person appears separate

89
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:46.040
and independent, all of us are
connected to intelligence patterns that govern the cosmos

90
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:50.600
is found out. Our bodies are
part of a universal body. Our minds

91
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:57.079
an aspect of the universal mind.
Eight time does not exist as absolute,

92
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:03.120
only eternity. Time is from time
to time, cut by us into fragments

93
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.439
and pieces, seconds, hours,
days, years. What we call linear

94
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:13.879
time is a reflection of our perception
of change. If we could perceive the

95
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.600
immutable, time would cease to exist
as we know it. We can learn

96
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.439
to begin metabolizing the immutable, eternity, the absolute. In doing so,

97
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.240
we will be ready to create the
physiology of immortality nine. Each of us

98
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.600
inhabits a reality that is beyond all
change. In the depths of us,

99
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.840
without the five senses knowing. There
is an intimate core of being a field

100
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:45.120
of immutability that creates personality, self
and body. This being is our essential

101
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:50.320
state. It' s who we
really are ten. We are not victims

102
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.480
of aging, disease and death.
These are parts of the stage, not

103
00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:00.000
of the viewer, which is immune
to any form of change. That spectator

104
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.840
is the spirit, the expression of
the eternal being. These are vast,

105
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.320
supposed factors of a new reality,
but they are all based on the discoveries

106
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.840
of quantum physics made almost a hundred
years ago. The seeds of this new

107
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.519
paradigm were planted by Einstein Borg,
Eisenbert and the other pioneers of quantum physics,

108
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.360
who understood that the accepted way of
seeing the physical world was false,

109
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.159
although the things out there seem real. There' s no proof of reality.

110
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.120
Apart from the observer. There are
not two people who share exactly the

111
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:37.840
same universe. Every vision of the
world creates its own world. I want

112
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.600
to convince you that you are much
more than your limited body, your self,

113
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.840
and your personality. The rules of
cause and effect, as you accept

114
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.480
them, have tightened on the volume
of a body and the duration of a

115
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.240
life. In reality, the field
of human life is open and unlimited in

116
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.080
its deepest plane. Your body is
ageless and your mind is timeless, one

117
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.720
one. Once you' re with
that reality, which is consistent with the

118
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:07.840
quantum vision of the world, aging
will fundamentally change. Let us end the

119
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:15.360
tyranny of the senses, why we
accept something as real because we can see

120
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.240
it and touch it. Everyone has
a prejudice in favor of things that are

121
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:24.320
comfortingly three- dimensional, just as
our five senses inform us. View,

122
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:30.000
hearing, touch, taste and smell
serve to reinforce the same message. Things

123
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.600
are what they seem according to this
reality. The earth is flat, the

124
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.159
ground is stationary under your feet,
the sun rises east and sets west,

125
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:43.440
all because it seems so to the
senses. These facts were immutable as long

126
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:50.840
as the five senses were unquestionedly accepted. Einstein understood that time and space are

127
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.080
also products of our five senses.
We see and touch things that occupy three

128
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.480
dimensions and experience the facts as if
they occurred in order. In sequence,

129
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.639
however, Einstein and his colleagues were
able to remove this mask of appearances.

130
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.519
They repositioned time and space in a
new geometry that had no beginning, no

131
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.720
end edges, and no solidity.
Each solid particle of the universe turned out

132
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:20.360
to be a ghostly bunch of energy
vibrating in an immense void. The ancient

133
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.120
model of time space was shattered,
replaced by a temporary and flowing field of

134
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:31.320
constant transformation. This quantum field is
not separate from us. It is we

135
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:37.000
there where nature goes to create stars, galaxies, quarts and leptons. You

136
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.039
and I are going to create ourselves. The great advantage of this new world

137
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.240
view is its immense creativity. The
human body, like everything else in the

138
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.720
cosmos, is constantly made again at
every second. Although your sense is reported

139
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.360
to be inhabiting a solid body in
time and space. This is only the

140
00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:00.320
most superficial layer of reality. Your
body is something much more miraculous, a

141
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:05.399
flowing organism, powered by millions of
years of intelligence. That intelligence is dedicated

142
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:11.279
to overseeing the constant change taking place
within you Each cell is a miniature terminal

143
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:18.879
connected to the cosmic computer. From
this perspective, it hardly seems possible for

144
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.799
humans to age as weak and helpless
as it may seem. A newborn baby

145
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.320
has a great defense against the ravages
of time If the baby could preserve his

146
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.840
state of immunity almost invulnerable, we
would all live for at least two hundred

147
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:39.120
years, according to physiologists. If
the baby could keep its shiny flexible arteries,

148
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.279
such as silk, the cholesteron would
not find a place to stay and

149
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.679
heart disease would be unknown. Each
of the fifty billion newborn hom cells is

150
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.919
clear as a drop of rain without
traces of toxic waste. These cells have

151
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.360
no reason to age, because within
them nothing has begun to discourage ordering their

152
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:05.399
perfect functioning. However, baby cells
are not new. Actually, the atoms

153
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.759
they contain have been circulating through the
cosmos for billions of years, but the

154
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:15.000
Baby is new thanks to an invisible
intelligence that has come together to model a

155
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:20.480
unique way of life. The temporal
field has invented a new dance step the

156
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:26.840
throbbing rhythms of a newborn body.
Aging is a mask of the loss of

157
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.639
this intelligence. Quantum physics tells us
that there is no end to cosmic dance.

158
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:37.279
The field of universal energy and information
never ceases to transform itself into new

159
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:43.159
at every moment. Our bodies obey
that same creative impulse every second. Approximately

160
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:50.120
six billion reactions occur in each cell. If that transformation current ever stopped,

161
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:56.080
your cells would fall into the disorder
that is synonymous with aging. Yesterday'

162
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.200
s bread becomes stale, because it
is there prey to moisture, fungi,

163
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:05.720
oxidation and various destructive chemical processes.
A gorge of chalk crumbles over time because

164
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:13.080
the wind and rain punish him without
his power to rebuild. Our bodies also

165
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.919
support the oxidation process and the attack
of various fungi and germs are exposed to

166
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.480
the same wind in the same rain. But we, unlike the loaf of

167
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.960
bread or the chalk ravine, can
renew ourselves. Our bones do not just

168
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.679
accumulate calcium as chalk does. Constantly
circulate New calcium atoms enter our bones that

169
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.559
come back out to become part of
the blood, skin, or other cells

170
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:43.360
as required by the body' s
needs. In order to maintain life,

171
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:48.279
your body must live on the wings
of change. At this moment you exhale

172
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:54.080
atoms of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon
and nitrogen that just a moment before were

173
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.519
enclosed in solid matter, your stomach, your liver, your heart, your

174
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.159
lungs and your brain bro disappear in
the air replaced as quickly and incessantly as

175
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.639
they break down. The skin is
renewed once a month, the lining of

176
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:13.360
the stomach every five days, the
liver every six weeks, the skeleton every

177
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:20.200
three months. At first glance,
these organs seem the same at every moment,

178
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.399
but they are in permanent flux.
Towards the end of this year.

179
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.000
Ninety- eight percent of the atoms
in your body will have been changed by

180
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.679
new ones. A huge proportion of
this incessant change works for your benefit.

181
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.639
Only one over in millions reacts with
an amino acid in a way that does

182
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.200
not achieve perfection. Just a billion- to- million- dollar neuron discharges

183
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.960
poorly into a strand of deoxyribonucleic acid
gou built with millions and millions of genetic

184
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:56.879
information. Only one can stop repairing
properly when damage occurs. These rare mistakes

185
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.919
are imperceptible and one thinks they are
of little importance. The human body is

186
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:06.159
like a great loosperian actor, capable
of representing Hamlet a thousand times and hesitating

187
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:10.879
in a single syllable. But invisible
cracks in the perfection of the body have

188
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:15.919
their importance. Yes, the accuracy
of our cells is slowing down. Proportion

189
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:23.000
the always new ones becomes slightly less
new and we age from the age of

190
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.559
thirty years, at the turn of
turtle of one percent per year, the

191
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:32.159
average human body begins to discalabrate.
Wrinkles appear the skin loses its tone and

192
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:37.159
freshness. The muscles begin to loosen, instead of indicating three parts of muscle

193
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:41.000
for one part of fat. The
proportions are getting even. Eye and hearing

194
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:47.399
decrease. Bones become thin and brittle. Strength and resistance decline without pause,

195
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:52.600
making it more difficult for us to
do the same work than before. It

196
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.279
raises blood pressure and many biochemical elements
depart from their optimal levels. The most

197
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.600
worrying for doctors is cholesterol, which
gradually rises over the years, marking the

198
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:08.160
insidious advance of heart ailments that kill
more people than any other disease. On

199
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:14.359
other fronts, cellular mutations begin to
bleed out, creating malignant tumors that attack

200
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:21.519
one person in three, especially after
the age of sixty- five. Over

201
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:25.680
time, these various age changes,
as gerontologists call them, exert a massive

202
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:30.240
influence. It' s the thousand
small waves that bring the tide of old

203
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.599
age. But at any time,
given aging, it only explains one percent

204
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:40.680
of the total changes that occur annually
in your body. In other words,

205
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.039
ninety- nine percent of the energy
and intelligence you make up remains untouched by

206
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:51.440
the aging process. If we take
the body as a process, by eliminating

207
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:56.400
this one percent dysfunction, it would
end aging, but how we attack that

208
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.319
one percent. To respond to this, we must find it now a key

209
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:06.079
to control that manipulates the inner intelligence
of the body. The new reality introduced

210
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:11.279
by quantum physics has enabled us for
the first time to manipulate the invisible intelligence

211
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.640
underlying the visible world. Einstein taught
us that the physical body, like all

212
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:21.119
material objects, is an illusion.
Trying to manipulate it can be like saying

213
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:26.079
the sam bra and ignoring the substance. The invisible way is the real world.

214
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.359
When we are willing to explore the
unseen planes of the body, we

215
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.680
can draw upon the immense creative power
that lies at our source. Let me

216
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.640
expand on the ten principles of the
new paradigm. In the light of that

217
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:42.160
hidden potential that awaits beneath the surface
of life, there is no objective world

218
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:49.720
independent of the observer. The world
you accept as real seems to have definite

219
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:55.559
qualities. Some things are big,
some are small. Some things are hard,

220
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.440
some are soft. However, none
of these qualities have meaning outside of

221
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:07.599
your perception. Take any object a
folding chair, for example, for you,

222
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.119
the chair is not very large.
For an ant, however, it

223
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.480
is immense. For IT, the
chair is hard, but a neutrino would

224
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.839
go through it without slowing down,
because for a subatomic particle, the atoms

225
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.720
of the chair are separated by whole
kilometers. The chair seems to be motionless,

226
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:29.079
but if you look at it from
outer space, you' d see

227
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.799
it swinging around with everything on earth
at one six zero kilometers an hour.

228
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.400
Likewise, any description you make of
the chair can be completely altered, simply

229
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:42.400
changing your perception. If the chair
is red, you can make it look

230
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:48.799
black looking through a green glass.
Yes, the chair weighs two and a

231
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.039
half kilos. You can reduce its
weight to a kilo by putting it on

232
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:56.559
the moon or increasing it to fifty- zero kilos by putting it in the

233
00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.759
gravitational field of a dense star.
As there are no absolute aas qualities in

234
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.920
the material world. It is false
to say that there is even an independent

235
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.680
world out there. The world is
a reflection of the sensory apparatus that records

236
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:14.279
it. The human nervous system captures
only a negligible fraction of less than one

237
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.720
percent per billion of the total energy
vibrating in the middle. Other nervous systems,

238
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:23.079
such as that of a bat or
a snake, reflect a different world

239
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:29.480
that coexists with ours. The bat
perceives a world of ultrasound, the snake

240
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:36.200
a world of infrared light both hidden
for us. Out there there is actually

241
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:41.240
only formless data in the gross state
waiting to be interpreted by you. The

242
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.720
one who perceives you take a quantum
soup in radically ambiguous flow, as physicists

243
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.839
call it, and use your senses
to freeze that soup in the solid,

244
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:55.960
three- dimensional world. Sir John
Daccos, the eminent British neurologist, pinch

245
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.720
the sensory illusion with an amazing but
irrefutable assertion. It must understand that there

246
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.519
is no color in the natural world, no sound, nothing of that kind,

247
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:08.279
no textures, no designs, no
beauty or aromas. In short,

248
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:14.240
none of the objective facts on which
we usually base our reality is fundamentally valid

249
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:21.400
as disturbing as this may seem.
It is an incredible liberation to understand that

250
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.079
you can change your world, including
your body, simply by changing your perception.

251
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.640
At this very moment, your perception
of yourself is causing immense changes in

252
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.839
your body. To give an example, in the United States and England,

253
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.559
mandatory retirement at the age of sixty- five is set an arbitrary cut-

254
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:44.039
off date for social utility. The
day before the age of sixty- five,

255
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:48.319
a worker contributes his work and his
value to society. The day after

256
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.759
he becomes one of those who depend
on society. From a medical point of

257
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:57.240
view, the results of this perceptual
change can be disastrous. In the early

258
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:03.160
years after retirement, heart attack and
cancer rise sharply. A premature death takes

259
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:08.960
over men who were healthy before retiring. Death by premature retirement, as I

260
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:15.359
know called the syndrome, depends on
the perception that our useful days are over.

261
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:21.759
This is just a perception, but
based on the one who sustains it

262
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:26.240
to create disease and death. By
comparison, in those societies that accept old

263
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.480
age as part of the social fabric, the elderly remain extremely vigorous, lift

264
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.119
weights, climb and flex their backs
in a way that we do not accept

265
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:41.480
as normal in our elders. If
you examine old cells like those that form

266
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.920
brownish spots on the skin with a
high- power microscope, the scene presents

267
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.920
the devastation of a war zone.
Over here and over there, fibrous veins

268
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:56.359
run, fat deposits and undisclosed metabolic
waste form ugly lumps. Those dark,

269
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:00.599
yellow pigments that we call lipofusins have
accumulated to the point of associating between ten

270
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:06.559
and thirty percent of the inside of
the cell. This scene of devastations created

271
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:11.079
by subcellular processes that have failed more
if you measure with a less materialistic lens.

272
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:14.880
You' ll see that old cells
are like maps of a person'

273
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:18.119
s experience. There are printed the
things that have caused you to suffer,

274
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.759
along with those that have brought you
joy. The tensions you have long forgotten

275
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.599
on the conscious plane, continue to
send signals like microchips, buried and cause

276
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:33.160
you anxiety, nervousness, apprehension fatigue, feelings, doubts, disappointments. These

277
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:38.119
reactions cross the barrier between mind and
body to become part of you. Toxic

278
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:45.480
deposits accumulated in old cells do not
occur uniformly. Some people acquire many more

279
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:49.559
than others, although there is little
genetic difference between them by the time you

280
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:57.079
turn seventy. Your cells will look
unique, reflecting the unique experiences you have

281
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:03.640
processed and metabolized in your tes and
organs. Being able to process the chaotic

282
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.880
raw vibrations of quantum soup, turning
them into significant and orderly fragments of reality,

283
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:15.759
opens up enormous creative possibilities. However, these possibilities only exist when you

284
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:19.680
are aware of them. As you
read this book, a huge portion of

285
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:25.039
your consciousness is dedicated to creating your
body without participation. Yours, the one

286
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:30.279
we call autonomous or involuntary nervous system, was designed to handle functions that have

287
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.720
escaped your consciousness. If you'
d start walking down the street absorbed in

288
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.160
your thoughts. The involuntary centers of
your brain would not stop dealing with the

289
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:44.759
world, alert to any danger and
ready to instantly activate the reaction. A

290
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:48.279
hundred things that you don' t
pay any attention to continue without pause breathing,

291
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:55.200
digesting, creating new cells, repairing
the damaged old ones, purifying toxins,

292
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:59.839
maintaining hormonal balance, converting the accumulated
energy of fat into glycemia, dilating

293
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.720
pupils, raising and lowering blood pressure, maintaining body temperature, swaying as you

294
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.720
walk, moving blood among muscle groups
that make the most effort and perceive noises

295
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:17.119
and movements in the surrounding environment.
These automatic processes play a huge role in

296
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:22.279
aging, as aging declines our ability
to coordinate these functions. An entire life

297
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:27.039
of unconscious existence leads to numerous deteriorations. Instead, a whole life of conscious

298
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:33.480
participation prevents them. The mere act
of paying conscious attention to body functions,

299
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:38.400
rather than leaving them on autopilot,
will change your way of aging all the

300
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:42.720
supposedly involuntary functions, from heart beating
and breathing to digestion and hormone regulation.

301
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:51.559
The age of biofeedback and meditation can
be consciously addressed. We' ve been

302
00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:55.799
taught that. Patients have been instructed
in labs mind body to lower their blood

303
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.799
pressure at will or to reduce the
acid secretions that cause ulcers among several dozens

304
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:08.119
of things. Why not apply this
capacity to the aging process, why not

305
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:15.400
change old patterns of perception for new
ones. As we shall see, there

306
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:22.519
are plenty of techniques to influence advantageously
the involuntary nervous system two. Our body

307
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:27.759
is composed of energy and information to
transform past patterns. You must know what

308
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:32.759
they' re made of. Your
body seems to be composed of solid matter

309
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.920
that can be broken down into molecules
and atoms, but quantum physics tells us

310
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.359
that each atom is in more than
ninety- nine comma ninety- nine ninety

311
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:44.720
- nine percent empty space and that
the subatomic particles that move at radiance velocity

312
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:51.599
through that space are actually bunches of
vibrant energy. However, these vibrations do

313
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:56.480
not occur at random insignificado by such
information. Thus, a group of vibrations

314
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:03.799
is encoded as hydrogen atom or oxygen. Each element is, in fact,

315
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:10.960
its own unique code. Codes are
abstract. So are ultimately our cosmos and

316
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.359
how much it contains. If we
break down the physical structure of the body

317
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.680
to reach its ultimate source, we
will see ourselves in a dead end,

318
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:26.799
because molecules give way to atoms.
The atoms to subatomic particles and these particles

319
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:33.079
to energy ghosts that dissolve in an
empty space. This void is mysteriously printed

320
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.200
with information, even before any information
is expressed. Just as in your memory,

321
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.480
there are silently thousands of words without
you uttering them. Thus, the

322
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:47.759
quantum field contains the entire universe unexpressedly. So it has been since the big

323
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:52.319
explosion, when millions of galaxies were
compressed into a space millions of times smaller

324
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:56.480
than the point with which this phrase
ends. However, even before that infinitesimal

325
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:03.119
point, the structure of the universe
existed in forms and manifests the essential matter

326
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.279
of the universe, including your body. It' s not matter, but

327
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.519
it' s not vulgar matter,
it' s not thinking matter. The

328
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:18.319
void that exists within each atom beats
invisible intelligence. Genetists primarily locate that intelligence

329
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.839
within DNA. But only for the
sake of convenience. Life unfolds as DNA

330
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:27.200
imparts its coded intelligence to its active
twin, the ribonucleic acid that in turn

331
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:32.039
enters the cell, and imparts intelligence
fragments to thousands of enzymes, which then

332
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:40.519
use their specific intelligence fragments to make
proteins at each point. This sequence requires

333
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:45.079
the exchange of energy and information.
Otherwise, life could not be built from

334
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:52.559
inert matter. The human body obtains
its primary energy by burning sugar that is

335
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.920
transported to cells in the form of
glucose or glycemia. The chemical structure of

336
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:02.200
glucose is closely related to that of
sucrose or common table sugar. But if

337
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:06.880
you burn common sugar, you will
get the exquisite and complex structures of a

338
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.720
living cell, you will only get
a lump of ash, traces of water

339
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.359
and carbon dioxide. In the air. Metabolism is more than a combustion process.

340
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:19.480
It' s a smart act.
The same sugar that remains inert in

341
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:22.920
a cube keeps life alive with its
energy, because the body' s cells

342
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:27.440
infuse it with new information. Sugar
can bring its energy to a kidney,

343
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.480
heart, or brain cell, for
example. All these cells contain completely unique

344
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:40.200
forms of intelligence. The rhythmic contraction
of a heart cell differs completely from the

345
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:44.319
electrical discharges of a brain cell or
from the exchange of sodium from a kidney

346
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.799
cell. As wonderful as this wealth
of diverse intelligence is. Deep down,

347
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:53.480
there is only one intelligence shared by
the whole body. It' s the

348
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:57.599
flow of that intelligence that keeps you
alive when it stops flowing at the time

349
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:03.720
of death, all the knowledge deposited
in your DNA and rendered useless. As

350
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:08.480
this flow of intelligence ages, it
is difficult in several ways. The specific

351
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:14.839
intelligence of the immune, nervous and
endocrine systems begins to fall. Physiologists now

352
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:21.200
know that these three systems function as
major body controls. Immunological cells and endocrine

353
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:25.720
glands are equipped with the same receptors
of brain signals as neurons, therefore,

354
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:32.359
are like an extension of the brain. This prevents us from confining them to

355
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:36.079
the gray matter. When intelligence is
lost in the immune system or in the

356
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:41.920
endocrine system, the senectud infiltrates the
whole body. As all this happens on

357
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.359
an invisible and unmanifested plane, the
losses go unnoticed until they reach a very

358
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:51.480
advanced stage and are expressed in a
physical symptom. The five senses cannot go

359
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:56.759
deeper than to experience the millions of
quantum exchanges that create aging. The exchange

360
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:03.200
rate is at a time of too
fast and too slow. Too fast because

361
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:07.400
individual chemical reactions require less than a
ten thousand cin of too slow a second,

362
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:12.400
because their cumulative effect will not be
shown in whole years. These reactions

363
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:17.920
involve information and energy on a scale
millions of times smaller than a single atom.

364
00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:23.119
The deterioration of age would be inevitable
if the body were simply material,

365
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:29.000
because all material things are prey to
entropy. The tendency of systems ordered to

366
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:33.680
become disorderly. The classic example of
entropy is a car that rusts in a

367
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:38.880
dumpster. Entropy breaks down the ordered
machinery into undone oxide. There' s

368
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.079
no chance that the process will work
the other way around, that a lot

369
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:45.400
of rusty junk will be put back
together in a new car. But entropy

370
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:49.920
does not apply to intelligence. An
invisible part of us is immune to the

371
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:56.279
ravages of time. Modern science is
just beginning to discover the implications of all

372
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:00.599
this, but it has been taught
for centuries through the spiritual traditions in which

373
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:06.240
teachers have preserved the youth of the
body to very advanced age. India,

374
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:10.720
China, Japan, to a lesser
extent the Christian West have given birth to

375
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:16.079
sages who grasped their essential nature as
a flow of intelligence. By preserving this

376
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:21.119
flow, year after year, they
overcame entropy from a deeper plane of nature.

377
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:24.880
In India, the flow of intelligence
is called prana, usually translated as

378
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:30.000
a life force that can increase and
grow at will, move around and manipulate

379
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:37.440
in order to maintain order and youth
in the physical body. As we shall

380
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.559
see, the ability to establish contact
with the prana and use it is within

381
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:45.640
all of us. Yobis move prana
without using anything other than attention, because

382
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:50.640
in a deep plane, attention and
prana are the same. Life is consciousness.

383
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:58.920
Conscience is life three mind and body
are inseparably one. Intelligence is much

384
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:04.160
more flexible than the mask of material
that hides it. Intelligence can be expressed

385
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:07.440
equally as thought or as a molecule. A basic emotion, like fear,

386
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:13.519
can be described as an abstract sensation
or as a tangible molecule of the hormone

387
00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:15.880
adrenaline. Without the feeling, there' s no hormone. Without the hormone,

388
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:20.400
there' s no feeling. In
the same way, there is no

389
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:22.920
pain without the nerve signals that transmit
the pain. There is no relief for

390
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:29.640
pain without endorphins that adjust to pain
receptors to block those signals. The revolution

391
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:34.240
we call medicinally and body was based
on this simple discovery wherever a thought goes,

392
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:39.240
a chemical element accompanies it. This
clarification has become a powerful tool that

393
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:44.440
allows us to understand, for example, why recent widows are twice as likely

394
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:50.079
to develop breast cancer, or why
diseases are four times more likely in chronic

395
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:59.279
depressions. In both cases, states
of mental distress become the biochemicals that create

396
00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:06.400
the disease. In my professional practice
I can meet two patients attacked with angina.

397
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:13.840
The typical oppressive pain characteristic of heart
disease. One patient will be able

398
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:17.920
to swim, run and even climb
mountains, completely ignoring their pain or perhaps

399
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:22.920
not even feeling it, while the
other almost fainted of pain with just getting

400
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:27.679
out of the chair. My first
impulse will be to look for a physical

401
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.840
difference between them, but I can
find it or not. According to cardiologists,

402
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.880
there is angina pain when one of
the three coronary arteries is at least

403
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:39.800
50% blocked. This block occurs
almost always in the form of a theroma,

404
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:44.519
an injury to the inside of the
arterial wall formed by dead cells,

405
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:52.519
blood clots and fatty plates However,
that of 50% blocked is only a

406
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:59.000
practical rule. Some angina patients become
incapacitated by pain when they only have a

407
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:04.199
small lesion in a single artery that
barely blocks blood flow. Others, on

408
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:07.800
the other hand, have run marathons
despite large multiple blockades affecting up to eighty

409
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:13.480
- five percent. You should add
that angina is not always caused by a

410
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:19.000
physical blockage. The arteries are surrounded
by a layer of muscle cells that can

411
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:22.360
spasm and compress the blood vessel by
closing it. But it is a very

412
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:30.760
individual reaction in terms of body mind. My two patients express different interpretations of

413
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:35.239
pain. Each patient prints a unique
perspective to his or her state. Pain

414
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.360
or any other symptom emerges to consciousness
only after interacting with all past influences that

415
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:45.559
operate in the body mind system.
There is not a single answer for everyone,

416
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:50.119
not even for the same person at
two different times. Signs of pain

417
00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:54.360
are raw data that can be applied
for many purposes. High- effort athletics,

418
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:59.360
such as the long distance race,
subjects the athlete to a pain that

419
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:01.519
he interprets as a sign of the
ogre. Whoever wants a fish to wet

420
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:07.159
his feet. The same pain inflicted
under other circumstances would be very ill received.

421
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:12.639
The runners admire the coaches who push
them to the limit, but they

422
00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:19.960
may hate such treatment in military service. Medicine just begins to use the body

423
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:22.679
mind bond to cure the defeat of
pain. That' s a good example.

424
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:28.320
By supplying a placebo or innocuous drug, thirty percent of patients experience the

425
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:31.039
same relief from the pain they would
have felt if they had taken a real

426
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:37.960
painkiller, but the body mind effect
is much more sacred. The same harmless

427
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:43.679
pill can be used to calm the
pain, to prevent excessive gastric secretions in

428
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:49.039
ulcer patients, to lower blood pressure, or to fight tumors. All side

429
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:53.920
effects of chemotherapy, including hair loss
and nausea, may be induced. If

430
00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:59.000
we supply cancerous people with a sugar
pill and assure them that it is a

431
00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:04.119
powerful anticancer drug. There are cases
where simple injections of sterile saline solution have

432
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:09.719
led to remission of advanced malignant tumors
As the same inert pill can cause such

433
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:14.599
different responses. We must conclude that
the body is capable of producing any biochemical

434
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:22.000
response once the mind receives the right
suggestion. The pill in sicare of meaning

435
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:24.320
the power that activates. The placebo
effect is the power of suggestion alone.

436
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:31.000
This suggestion then becomes the body'
s intention to heal. Then why not

437
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:35.639
skip the sugar pill trick to go
directly to the intention, If we could

438
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:39.800
effectively activate, the intention not to
age the body, would carry it out

439
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:49.519
automatically. We have very exciting evidence
to prove that this possibility exists. One

440
00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:52.360
of the most feared diseases of old
age is Parkinson’ s disease, a

441
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:59.000
neurological ailment that causes uncontrollable muscle movements
and a drastic delay in body actions,

442
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:02.119
such as walking over time. The
body gets so stiff that the patient can

443
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:07.719
' t move at all. The
origin of Parkinson' s has been identified

444
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:14.360
in an unexplained depletion of a critical
brain chemical called dopamine. But there is

445
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:19.000
also a simulated Parkinson' s disease
that occurs when brain cells that produce dopamine

446
00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:23.679
have been chemically destroyed by certain drugs. Let' s imagine a patient affected

447
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:28.920
by this type of Parkinson' s
at an advanced stage of immobilization. If

448
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:31.599
you try to walk, you will
only take one or two steps before stopping.

449
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:37.960
Stiff as a statue. However,
if we draw a line on the

450
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:44.039
ground and tell him to practice it, that person will be able to walk

451
00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:49.760
through it miraculously, despite the fact
that dopamine production is completely involuntary and its

452
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.079
provision seems exhausted, as evidenced by
the fact that his brain cannot order the

453
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.639
leg muscles to take one step further
with the sole intention of walking the awakened

454
00:38:55.719 --> 00:39:01.039
brain. That person can petrify again
after a few seconds, but once again,

455
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:06.280
if we ask him to cross an
imaginary line, the brain will respond

456
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:12.480
again by extension. The disability and
inactivity of many elderly people is only a

457
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:16.199
latent state. By renewing their intentions
to lead an active and useful life,

458
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:23.039
many elders can dramatically improve their motor
capacity, strength, agility, and mental

459
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:30.119
speed. Intent is an active part
of attention is the way to convert automatic

460
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:37.679
and unconscious processes using simple body mind
exercises. Almost any patient can learn in

461
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:43.280
a few sessions to turn a hasty
heart rate, a gash or floating anxiety

462
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.840
into a more normal reaction. What
seems out of control can be controlled by

463
00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:54.000
the proper technique. The implications for
ageing are enormous. By inserting an intention

464
00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:59.320
into the thought processes, just as
I want to improve my energy and vigor

465
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:02.760
every day, you can begin to
exercise control over those brain centers that determine

466
00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:07.960
how much energy will be expressed in
the activity. The decline of vigor in

467
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:12.960
old age is mostly due to people
hoping to decline without wanting it. They

468
00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:16.639
have implanted a defeatist intention in the
form of a powerful belief and the body

469
00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:23.800
mind bond automatically fulfills this intention.
Our past intentions create obsolete programs that seem

470
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:29.239
to have dominions over us. Indeed, the power of intention can be awakened

471
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:34.400
again at any time, long before
aging, you can avoid those losses and

472
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:37.760
programs your mind to keep you young
using the power of your intention four.

473
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:45.000
The biochemistry of the body is a
product of consciousness. One of the greatest

474
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:50.960
limitations of the old paradigm was the
assumption that our consciousness plays no role in

475
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:54.519
explaining what is happening to us in
the body. However, one cannot understand

476
00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:59.320
the healing of a person unless one
understands also his beliefs, his n r

477
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:04.280
s PNS, set expectations and the
image he has of himself. Although the

478
00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:07.800
image of the body as mindless machines
continues to dominate the mainstream of Western medicine,

479
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:14.960
there is unquestionable evidence to the contrary. It can be shown that death

480
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:19.239
rates from cancer and heart disease are
higher among people who suffer from psychological stress

481
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:23.360
and lower among those who have a
strong sense of resolve and well- being.

482
00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:29.880
One of the most widely reported medical
studies in recent years is by David

483
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:34.280
Spiegle, Shanther' s psychiatrist,
who proposed to show that the mental state

484
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:39.440
of patients did not influence whether or
not they survived cancer. Like so many

485
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:44.679
doctors. I thought that attaching importance
to the patient' s beliefs and attitudes

486
00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:47.519
would do more harm than good,
because the idea I caused cancer would cause

487
00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:52.440
feelings of guilt and author reproach Spiegel
took eighty- six women with breast cancer

488
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:58.320
has advanced sick people who basically could
not be helped with conventional treatments and provided

489
00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:01.960
half of them. There are weekly
psychotherapy ns combined with self- hypnosis lessons.

490
00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:10.000
At any rate, this represents a
minimal intervention that a woman could do

491
00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:15.000
in one hour of therapy per week, time she had to share with several

492
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:20.400
more patients to fight a disease that
is inevitably fatal in advanced stages. The

493
00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:25.599
answer seemed obvious. However, after
following the patients for ten years, Espigel

494
00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:31.960
was shocked to learn that the group
undergoing therapy survived on average. The double

495
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:37.599
that the other more revealing group was
still the fact that at that late date

496
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.880
only three women will be left alive, all of them from the Therapy group.

497
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:46.800
This study is amazing because the researcher
did not expect to discover any effect,

498
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:52.599
but other researchers provided a decade of
similar findings. A meticulous study conducted

499
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:57.920
by Jale in nineteen hundred and eighty- seven, according to Mrgensen' s

500
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:01.039
report, found that breast cancer spread
faster among women with repressed personality, lacking

501
00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:08.880
hope and unable to express anger,
fear and other negative emotions. Similar discoveries

502
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:14.800
have emerged about arthritis, rheumatoid,
asthma, intractable pain, and other ailments

503
00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:22.599
dominated by the ancient paradigm. Doctors
have prejudices against these results, as pointed

504
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:28.199
out by the bricity and in their
enlightened book they merit in minimal medicine and

505
00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:32.880
meaning. The dominant message that is
unceasingly preached in the editorial pages, medical

506
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:37.400
publications and classrooms of universities is that
the biology inherent in the disease is of

507
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:44.559
overwhelming importance. While feelings, emotions, and attitudes are simple traveling companions.

508
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:49.599
What the new paradigm teaches us is
that emotions are not fleeting events isolated in

509
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:55.119
mental space, they are expressions of
consciousness, fundamental matter of life. In

510
00:43:55.239 --> 00:44:00.639
all religious traditions, the breath of
life is the spirit. Raising or lowering

511
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:07.360
the spirit to someone means something fundamental
that the body must reflect. Consciousness makes

512
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:13.400
a huge difference in aging, because
even though every kind of higher life ages,

513
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:16.960
only humans know what happens to us
and we translate this knowledge into decay

514
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:22.960
itself. Fear of old age makes
you grow older in a hurry to accept

515
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:25.920
it gracefully. Instead, move away
from your door many miseries, both physical

516
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:30.920
and mental. The saying of common
sense is as old as it thinks it

517
00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:37.400
is, it has profound implications.
What is a thought is an impulse of

518
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:43.039
energy and information, like everything that
exists in nature. The packages of information

519
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:47.519
and energy that we label trees,
stars, mountains and oceans could also be

520
00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:52.119
considered thoughts of nature. But our
thoughts are different. On an important point.

521
00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:57.639
Nature is stranded with its thoughts.
Once their patterns have been established,

522
00:44:57.920 --> 00:45:02.760
things such as stars and trees follow
a cycle of growth that automatically passes through

523
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:13.440
the stages of birth, development,
decay, and dissolution. We, on

524
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:16.039
the other hand, are not stranded
in our life cycle. By being conscious,

525
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:22.800
we participate in all the reactions that
occur within us. Problems arise when

526
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:25.800
we do not recognize ourselves responsible for
what we do. In his book of

527
00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:30.840
howt graphhe univer is the holograph universe
Michael Houber draws a brilliant comparison with King

528
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:37.280
Midas. Like everything he played turned
into gold. Midas could never know the

529
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:43.119
true texture of nothing water wheat meat
or feathers, everything became the same hard

530
00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:47.440
metal as soon as he touched it. Just as our consciousness turns the quantum

531
00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:52.480
field into common material reality. We
cannot know the true texture of quantum reality

532
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:57.360
in itself or through our five senses, nor think of it, for a

533
00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:01.159
thought also transforms the field, takes
the infinite possibilities of emptiness and shapes a

534
00:46:01.199 --> 00:46:07.360
specific fact of time space. What
you call your body is also a specific

535
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:12.480
fact of time space. And as
you experience its materiality, you overlook the

536
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:16.599
touch of midas, which turns pure
abstract potential into something solid. Unless you

537
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:21.559
become conscious of consciousness, you will
never be able to surprise yourself in the

538
00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:28.559
act of transformation. Five. Perception
is a learned phenomenon. The power of

539
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:31.639
consciousness would not change our life at
all if nature had provided us all with

540
00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:37.559
the same answers to experience. Obviously
it' s not like that. There

541
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:40.719
are not two people who share the
same perception of anything. The face of

542
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:45.079
the person you love may be the
face of my worst enemy. Food that

543
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:52.800
makes you hungry can make me nauseous. These personal answers must be learned.

544
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:58.079
That' s where the differences originate. Learning is a very active use of

545
00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:00.920
the mind that leads to active changes
or s ns of the body. The

546
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:07.400
perceptions of love, I hate pleasure
inause stimulate the body in very different directions.

547
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:12.599
In short, our body is the
physical result of all the interpretations we

548
00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:17.800
have learned to make since we were
born. Some patients undergoing organ transplants report

549
00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:22.960
strange experiences. After receiving a kidney, liver, or donated heart without knowing

550
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:29.800
who the donor was, they begin
to share in their memories. When the

551
00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:32.800
tissues of one person are placed inside
a stranger, associations belonging to another begin

552
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:38.480
to be released. In a heart
transplant case, the woman woke up with

553
00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:44.119
a craving for beer and chicken from
Mecdonnols. That surprised her because she had

554
00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:49.760
never wanted those things before. When
he began to have mysterious dreams in which

555
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:52.880
a young man named Timmy appeared,
he tracked down the donor of his new

556
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:58.280
heart. He turned out to be
the victim of a traffic accident when he

557
00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:00.480
contacted his families. Or that the
victim was a young man named Timmy.

558
00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:07.119
The woman was shocked to learn that
the young man had a predilection for beer

559
00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:10.719
and that he had died on his
way home from a Mecdonnols place. Instead

560
00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:15.159
of looking for a supernatural explanation for
these incidents, we could see in them

561
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:21.599
the confirmation that our body is made
of experiences transformed into physical expression. As

562
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:24.920
experience is something that we literally incorporate, we become a body. Our memories

563
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:30.480
have infiltrated our cells. Therefore,
to receive the cells of another is to

564
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:35.519
receive at the same time their memories. Your cells are constantly processing. Experience

565
00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:39.960
and metabolize it according to your personal
criteria. You don' t just absorb

566
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:44.519
raw data through your eyes and ears
and seal them with a judgment, but

567
00:48:44.599 --> 00:48:50.360
you become physically in interpretation. By
internalizing it, he who is depressed by

568
00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:53.679
having lost his job casts sadness on
his whole body. The production of neurotransmitters

569
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:58.519
in the brain is exhausted, hormone
levels are lowered, the sleep cycle is

570
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:02.199
interrupted. The gropeptide neers receptors on
the outer surface of epithelial cells are distorted.

571
00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:09.039
The blood plates become more sticky and
prone to bind to their tears.

572
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:16.599
They contain different chemical traces of tears
of joy. This entire biochemical profile changes

573
00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:22.400
dramatically when that person has a new
job and if it is more satisfactory,

574
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:28.599
his production of neurotransmitters, hormones,
receptors and all the other vital biochemists up

575
00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:32.719
to the same DNA begins to reflect
that sudden favorable turn. Although we give,

576
00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:37.920
of course, that DNA is a
closed repository of genetic information, its

577
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:44.159
active twin, RNA responds to daily
existence. Medical students, during exam times,

578
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:49.320
have a reduced production of interleukin two, a critical element in the immune

579
00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:54.039
response that fights cancer. The production
of interleukin two is under the control of

580
00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:59.599
the messenger RNA, which means that
the student' s nervousness, by passing

581
00:49:59.639 --> 00:50:05.239
his test s speaks directly to his
genes. This point reinforces the great need

582
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:09.559
to use our consciousness to create the
bodies that we truly desire. Nervousness through

583
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:14.440
a medical exam happens sooner or later, as depression goes through a lost job,

584
00:50:14.639 --> 00:50:21.159
but the aging process must be counteracted
every day. Your interpretation of how

585
00:50:21.159 --> 00:50:24.079
you age is critical to what happens
in the next four, five, or

586
00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:30.119
six decades. In neurological terms,
a brain signal is just a series of

587
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:35.280
energy fluctuations. If you' re
in a coma, these signs have no

588
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:38.079
meaning. If you are alert and
conscious, the same signals open up to

589
00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:44.559
infinite creative interpretations. Shakespeare did not
make metaphors when he wrote the phrase"

590
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:47.599
prosperous" we are the matter from
which dreams are made. The body is

591
00:50:47.639 --> 00:50:52.800
like a manifest dream, a three- dimensional projection of brain signals that transform

592
00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:59.079
into the state we call real.
Aging is but a series of misoriented transformations,

593
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:05.000
processes that should remain stable, balanced
and in renewal, but that deviate

594
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:09.719
from its course due to this is
presented as physical change. However, what

595
00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:13.960
has actually happened is that your consciousness
doesn' t matter if in your mind

596
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:17.599
or in your cells it deviated first
by becoming aware of how that error occurred,

597
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:22.679
you can put your body' s
biochemistry back on line. There is

598
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:28.039
no biochemistry out of consciousness. Every
cell in your body has perfect awareness of

599
00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:31.320
what you think and feel about yourself. Once you accept that fact, all

600
00:51:31.599 --> 00:51:37.960
illusion of being a victim of a
mindless body that degenerates disappears. Random six.

601
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:43.360
There are impulses of intelligence that constantly
create the body in new forms.

602
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:49.039
Every second. Creating the body in
new forms is necessary in order to meet

603
00:51:49.079 --> 00:51:52.679
the changing demands of life. A
child' s vision of reality, for

604
00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:57.840
example, contains much that is not
familiar. Until you learn more about the

605
00:51:57.880 --> 00:52:01.679
world, your body is expressed in
inexperienced and poorly coordinated behavior. At three

606
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:06.280
months of age, the baby cannot
differentiate between a stairway and the painting of

607
00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:12.320
a stairway. His brain hasn'
t captured what optical illusion is. By

608
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:15.199
six months, his reality had changed
at that age. Babies know how to

609
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:21.079
recognize optical illusions. Using that knowledge, their bodies can be better managed in

610
00:52:21.119 --> 00:52:24.000
three- dimensional space. Mirrors stop
looking like holes. On the wall you

611
00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:29.840
can climb the actual stairs, but
not the stairs paintings. The round is

612
00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:35.480
different from the flat, etcetera.
That change of perception is not just mental.

613
00:52:35.800 --> 00:52:38.559
A whole new way of using eyes
and hands has been achieved. The

614
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:44.400
physical dimensions of various brain centers for
form recognition and motor coordination have been affected.

615
00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:51.679
As long as new perceptions continue to
enter your brain, your body will

616
00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:55.360
be able to respond in new ways. There is no secret of more powerful

617
00:52:55.360 --> 00:53:00.199
youth, as a patient of 80
years of age succinctly expressed when you stop

618
00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:07.280
growing older. New knowledge, new
skills, new ways of looking at the

619
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:12.159
world keep the mind and body growing. As long as it is, the

620
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:15.880
natural tendency to be new to every
second in the quantum world is expressed.

621
00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:22.960
Change is inevitable. Not aging.
The chronological age of our physical body is

622
00:53:22.039 --> 00:53:27.960
irrelevant. The youngest zinc has molecules
whose age is the same as those of

623
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:32.440
the oldest zinc. In both cases, the chronological age of the body could

624
00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:37.400
be set at five billion years,
the age of the various atoms a year

625
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:40.880
at the same time that it takes
these atoms to replace within our tissues or

626
00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:45.039
three seconds for a cell to stir
its enzymes to process. Food, air

627
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:51.239
and water you' re really as
old as the information that revolves through you

628
00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:55.639
and that' s great luck.
You can control the information content of the

629
00:53:55.679 --> 00:54:00.239
quantum field. Although there is a
certain amount of fixed information in the atoms

630
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:05.159
of food, air and water that
it constitutes in each cell, the power

631
00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:08.400
to transform that information is subject to
free will. One thing you can possess

632
00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:14.559
without limits in this world is your
interpretation of it. There are notable medical

633
00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:17.400
cases of young children, for example, who, feeling very loveless, stopped

634
00:54:17.440 --> 00:54:23.519
growing up. This syndrome called psychosocial
ananism, occurs among severely abused children,

635
00:54:24.199 --> 00:54:28.280
which turns their lack of love and
affection into an exhaustion of the growth hormone,

636
00:54:28.760 --> 00:54:31.639
challenging the assumption that the growth hormone
is released according to previously programmed rhythms

637
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:37.599
that every child has printed on his
or her adn. In these cases,

638
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:45.559
the power of interpretation is imposed on
the genetic seal, causing a change in

639
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:52.800
its information fields. Body of a
person' s self- interaction, there

640
00:54:52.840 --> 00:54:58.559
arise interpretations that are experienced as internal
dialogue, thoughts, judgments and sensations rotate

641
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:01.480
unceasingly in the mind. I like
that I don' t like it I

642
00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:05.519
' m afraid of thirteen, I' m not sure, etcetera. Inner

643
00:55:05.559 --> 00:55:09.320
dialogue is not random mental noise It
is generated in a deep plane by your

644
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:15.679
beliefs and assumptions Essential belief is defined
as something that you take for granted about

645
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:19.119
reality. As long as you hold
on to it, your belief will adjust

646
00:55:19.119 --> 00:55:22.280
your body' s information fields to
certain parameters. You will perceive something as

647
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:28.760
pleasant or unpleasant, distressing or joyful, according to how it meets your expectations.

648
00:55:29.599 --> 00:55:32.320
When someone' s interpretation changes,
there is also a change in their

649
00:55:32.360 --> 00:55:37.239
reality. For children suffering from psychosocial
dwarfism, putting them in a loving environment

650
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:43.800
is more effective than giving them growth
hormones. Your belief that they are undesirable

651
00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:46.400
and unworthy can be so powerful that
the body does not grow even when it

652
00:55:46.440 --> 00:55:52.639
is injected with hormones. However,
if loving adoptive parents can transform the essential

653
00:55:52.639 --> 00:55:57.400
belief of children who consider themselves unworthy
of love. These respond with naturally produced

654
00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:01.559
torrents of growth hormones, and that
usually leads to a normal state of height,

655
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:07.159
weight, and development. When seen
otherwise, your personal reality changes on

656
00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:13.199
a physiological plane. Here is a
powerful metaphor of how fear of aging and

657
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:19.719
the deep conviction that we are destined
for decay can transform into aging itself as

658
00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:25.519
self- fulfilling prophecy generated by the
destructive image we have of ourselves. To

659
00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:30.960
escape from this prison we need to
reverse fear- based beliefs. Instead of

660
00:56:31.000 --> 00:56:35.239
believing that the body decays over time, it nourishes the belief that your body

661
00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:38.239
is new at every moment, instead
of believing that your body is a mindless

662
00:56:38.280 --> 00:56:43.159
machine nourishing the belief that your body
is imbued with the deep intelligence of life,

663
00:56:43.320 --> 00:56:49.559
whose sole purpose is to keep you. These new beliefs are not just

664
00:56:49.639 --> 00:56:52.760
more pleasant, they are true.
We experience the enjoyment of life through the

665
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:57.119
body and therefore it is natural to
believe that the body does not oppose us,

666
00:56:57.360 --> 00:57:01.000
but rather desires the same thing that
we seven desire. Despite the appearance

667
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:06.880
of being separate individuals, we are
all connected to the models of intelligence that

668
00:57:06.960 --> 00:57:12.920
govern the cosmos. You and your
environment are one thing. If you look

669
00:57:12.920 --> 00:57:16.000
at yourself, you will notice that
your body ceases at some point, you

670
00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:20.679
are separated from the wall of your
room or the sidewalk tree by an empty

671
00:57:20.679 --> 00:57:23.559
space. However, in quantum terms, the distinction between solid and void is

672
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:30.800
insignificant. Every cubic inch of quantum
space is filled with an almost infinite amount

673
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:34.880
of energy and the smallest vibration is
part of vast fields of vibration that span

674
00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:39.400
entire galaxies in a very real sense. Your environment is your prolonged body.

675
00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:44.880
With every breath you inhale hundreds of
millions of atoms exhaled yesterday by someone in

676
00:57:44.880 --> 00:57:47.559
China. All the oxygen, water
and sunlight around you are hardly distinguishable from

677
00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:54.840
what' s inside IT. If
you want you can experience yourself in a

678
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:59.400
state of unity with everything that is
in contact with you. In the common

679
00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:01.880
waking state, you touch a rose
with your finger and feel it solid,

680
00:58:02.159 --> 00:58:06.639
but in truth a bunch of energy
and information. Your finger comes into contact

681
00:58:06.679 --> 00:58:09.960
with another bundle of energy and information? The rose your finger and the thing

682
00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:15.199
you touch are just tiny outcrops of
the infinite field we call universe. This

683
00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:21.760
truth inspired the ancient sages of India
who declared As is the microcosm, so

684
00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:25.880
is the macrocosm, so is the
atom, so is the universe, so

685
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:30.920
is the human body, so is
the cosmic body, so is the human

686
00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:38.079
mind, so is the cosmic mind. It is not just mystical teachings,

687
00:58:38.639 --> 00:58:44.079
but real experiences of those who were
able to liberate their consciousness from the state

688
00:58:44.119 --> 00:58:47.840
of separation to identify themselves, instead, with the unity of everything in the

689
00:58:47.880 --> 00:58:52.639
consciousness of unity. People, things
and facts out there become all part of

690
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:57.159
your body. In fact, you' re just a mirror of relationships centered

691
00:58:57.199 --> 00:59:01.360
on these influences. The famous naturalist
already declared every time we tried to take

692
00:59:01.400 --> 00:59:07.360
something alone we found him tied to
everything else in the universe. This should

693
00:59:07.400 --> 00:59:10.440
not be a rare experience, but
the first block in the building of everything

694
00:59:10.519 --> 00:59:17.519
we know. The possibility of experiencing
unity has tremendous implications for aging, because

695
00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:22.039
when you have a harmonious interaction with
your prolonged body, you feel cheerful,

696
00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:29.519
healthy and youthful. Fear is born
of separation. They held the ancient Indian

697
00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:36.519
sages. With this statement they deepened
deeply into the why of aging as we

698
00:59:36.599 --> 00:59:39.519
see ourselves as something apart, We
create chaos and disorder between us and things

699
00:59:39.559 --> 00:59:45.639
out there, we provoke wars and
destroy the environment, death. The final

700
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:51.960
state of separation looms as fearsome unaware
of the very perspective of change that is

701
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:54.800
part of life. It creates an
unspeakable fear, because with notice loss,

702
00:59:57.199 --> 01:00:00.960
fear brings to violence. As inevitable
wake. Being separated from other people,

703
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:05.920
things and deeds, we want to
force them to do what we want.

704
01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:10.400
In harmony there is no violence.
Instead of trying slightly to control the uncontrollable.

705
01:00:12.360 --> 01:00:15.239
The person in unity learns acceptance,
not because it is necessary, but

706
01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:19.639
because in truth there is peace and
order in himself and in his prolonged body.

707
01:00:20.639 --> 01:00:24.119
J chrisna Morti, the modern sage
became a wonderful onage, always alert,

708
01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:30.840
full of wisdom and vitality, never
diminished. I remember seeing him jump

709
01:00:30.880 --> 01:00:35.239
up the steps of a stand.
When I was eighty- five years old,

710
01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:39.000
I was deeply moved when a woman
who had known him for many years

711
01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:43.760
told me that I had discovered one
thing in him that was completely free of

712
01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:49.320
violence. Quantum view of the world
is not spiritual in its equations and postulates,

713
01:00:49.559 --> 01:00:54.159
but Einstein and his colleagues shared a
mystical reverence for his discoveries. Nielspord

714
01:00:54.239 --> 01:00:58.880
compared the wavy aspect of matter to
the cosmic mind. At the end of

715
01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:01.360
his life, oh In Shering was
convinced that the universe itself was a living

716
01:01:01.440 --> 01:01:06.519
mind. Echoing Asek Nedn, he
held that gravity and all other forces were

717
01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:10.880
thoughts in God' s mind.
The truth is that probing in our own

718
01:01:10.920 --> 01:01:15.920
spirit always brings to humans the bounds
of the spirit in its broadest sense.

719
01:01:16.159 --> 01:01:22.000
By putting this coincidence in objective terms, the new paradigm allows us to actually

720
01:01:22.079 --> 01:01:28.039
cross the boundary that in other times
divided body and spirit. The transformation from

721
01:01:28.079 --> 01:01:31.440
separation to unity, from conflict to
peace is the goal of all spiritual traditions.

722
01:01:34.199 --> 01:01:37.639
We do not live in the same
objective world. One time a disciple

723
01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:42.679
asked his guru Yes, the teacher
answered, but you see yourself in the

724
01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:47.360
world and I see the world in
myself. This small perceptual change creates a

725
01:01:47.440 --> 01:01:53.760
huge difference between freedom and servitude.
We are all servants of disorder that we

726
01:01:53.800 --> 01:02:00.719
create by considering ourselves separate and isolated
the perfect example is the personality of type

727
01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:05.519
with its exhausting and frustrated behavior,
with its eternal feeling of being pressed by

728
01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:10.000
deadlines that type of person unable to
relax with any kind of acceptance, to

729
01:02:10.079 --> 01:02:15.239
let oneself be carried feeds their past
pains turning them into anger. This repressed

730
01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:19.960
whirlwind is projected in the middle as
hostility, impatience, reproach and panic,

731
01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:24.519
not assumed in his incessant effort to
dominate others. That person reacts to the

732
01:02:24.519 --> 01:02:30.239
small tensions with harsh criticism against herself
and others in creating so much chaos.

733
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:35.360
The type A person, especially if
he or she belongs to the world of

734
01:02:35.679 --> 01:02:38.119
commerce, is fooled into thinking that
he or she is competing successfully. In

735
01:02:38.119 --> 01:02:44.960
fact, their efficiency level is very
low and frustrations accumulate. The feedback that

736
01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:51.519
this personality receives from its prolonged body
creates more disasters within the physical body.

737
01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:58.559
It increases cholesterol and blood pressure.
The heart is subject to unnecessary stress,

738
01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:05.719
which seriously increases the risk of stroke
or fatal heart attack. The type is

739
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:08.920
an extreme example of the damage that
occurs by not interacting harmoniously with the prolonged

740
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:14.760
body itself. As we see,
the tension we perceive in the middle is

741
01:03:14.840 --> 01:03:20.039
directly related to almost all age-
related changes that attack everyone. What ages

742
01:03:20.039 --> 01:03:23.440
us is not so much the tension
as the perception of attention. Anyone who

743
01:03:23.480 --> 01:03:29.800
does not see the world out there
as a threat can coexist with the environment

744
01:03:29.840 --> 01:03:34.400
free of the damage caused by the
response to tensions. In many ways,

745
01:03:34.719 --> 01:03:37.920
the most important thing that can be
done to experience a world without aging is

746
01:03:37.960 --> 01:03:43.719
to feed the knowledge that the world
is one eight. Time is not absolute.

747
01:03:45.159 --> 01:03:49.159
The underlying reality of all things is
eternal and what we call time is

748
01:03:49.239 --> 01:03:54.920
actually quantified eternity. Although our body
and the whole physical world are a display

749
01:03:54.920 --> 01:04:00.039
of constant change, reality is more
than the process. The United, the

750
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:03.920
verse, was born and developed.
When he was born, existence, time

751
01:04:03.960 --> 01:04:09.119
and space emerged. Before the time
of the great explosion, time and space

752
01:04:09.159 --> 01:04:14.320
did not exist as we know them. However, for the rational mind it

753
01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:19.360
is almost impossible to ask questions such
as what was before time and what can

754
01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:25.360
be greater than space. Einstein himself, when working out quantum principles in his

755
01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:30.440
youth, for the first time retained
the ancient idea embraced by NYTN, that

756
01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:33.119
the universe was stable, that time
and space were constant, eternal, that

757
01:04:33.119 --> 01:04:39.760
they had never been born and would
never die. This stable version of reality

758
01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:44.920
remains what our five senses offer us. You can' t see or feel

759
01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:47.920
the time when it accelerates or slows
down even when Einstein showed that that'

760
01:04:48.000 --> 01:04:50.599
s how time works. Space cannot
be felt when it expands or contracts,

761
01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:56.760
although that is also part of a
rhythmic universe. To go further, imagining

762
01:04:57.079 --> 01:05:00.920
those regions without dimension where time and
space are born requires a radical change in

763
01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:05.599
perception. This change is imposed on
us because the universe must have some kind

764
01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:12.079
of timeless source. And the same
goes for us. We believe that we

765
01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:15.519
exist in time, because the body
is composed of change. To change you

766
01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:19.119
need to have a flow or sequence. In this sequence there is a before

767
01:05:19.239 --> 01:05:24.119
and after. Before this breath,
there was one last breath after this heartbeat

768
01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:29.280
will come the next heartbeat, but
theoretical and mind. If we had the

769
01:05:29.320 --> 01:05:32.559
necessary time and equipment, we could
do an electrocardiogram of all the heartbeats that

770
01:05:32.679 --> 01:05:36.559
a heart had in its existence and
with the graph in hand, we would

771
01:05:36.639 --> 01:05:42.679
have past present and future contents.
In the same place, we could look

772
01:05:42.760 --> 01:05:46.159
at it in an inverted or backward
position. We could fold it in half

773
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:49.199
so that the last heartbeat and the
first beat were next to each other.

774
01:05:50.960 --> 01:05:55.719
This kind of manipulation is what quantum
physics reveals about the most basic facts of

775
01:05:55.760 --> 01:06:00.880
time space. In nature, when
two inters particles change, states of energy

776
01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:05.519
can move backwards in time as easily
as forward. Things that happened in the

777
01:06:05.559 --> 01:06:11.079
past can be altered by energy facts
in the future. The whole notion of

778
01:06:11.199 --> 01:06:15.800
time as an inexorably shot forward arrow
has been forever shattered in the complex geometries

779
01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:19.880
of quantum space, where multidimensional strands
and curves take time everywhere and even stop

780
01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:27.760
it. The only absolute that remains
is the temporal, for now we understand

781
01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:30.599
that our entire universe is only an
incident that springs from a greater reality.

782
01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:35.840
What we perceive as seconds, minutes, hours, days and years are cut

783
01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:42.800
pieces of that greater reality. It
is up to you to cut off the

784
01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:46.480
temporal in the way you desire your
consciousness. It creates the time you experience

785
01:06:46.559 --> 01:06:53.880
who experiences time as a scarce article
that escapes endlessly. It creates a very

786
01:06:54.000 --> 01:06:57.320
different personal reality than the one who
perceives having all the time in the world.

787
01:06:58.199 --> 01:07:01.559
You spend the day under pressure due
to lack of time, you suffer

788
01:07:01.639 --> 01:07:05.840
from those symptoms of panic and drowning
that causes the disease of time translated by

789
01:07:05.960 --> 01:07:12.760
the body in rapid heart rhythm or
irregular rhythms, distorted digestive, insomnia and

790
01:07:12.760 --> 01:07:16.199
high blood pressure. These individual differences
express our way of perceiving change, as

791
01:07:16.320 --> 01:07:21.760
the perception of change creates our experience
of time. When you fix your attention

792
01:07:21.840 --> 01:07:26.719
on the past or the future,
you are in it field of time,

793
01:07:27.440 --> 01:07:32.440
creating aging. An Indian teacher who
seemed remarkably young for his age explained this

794
01:07:32.519 --> 01:07:36.320
by saying most spends life in the
past or in the future, but my

795
01:07:36.360 --> 01:07:42.199
life is supremely concentrated in the present. When a life is concentrated in the

796
01:07:42.280 --> 01:07:46.000
present it is more real because the
past and the future do not affect it

797
01:07:46.119 --> 01:07:53.000
at this time. Where are the
past and the future nowhere. There is

798
01:07:53.079 --> 01:07:58.480
only the present moment. Past and
future are mental projections. If you can

799
01:07:58.519 --> 01:08:01.480
free yourself from these projections without trying
to revive the past or master the future,

800
01:08:01.960 --> 01:08:06.039
a space for a whole new experience
opens up. The experience of the

801
01:08:06.119 --> 01:08:13.400
ageless body and timeless mind. It
is of great importance to be able to

802
01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:15.439
identify with a reality that is not
limited by time. Otherwise, there is

803
01:08:15.520 --> 01:08:20.920
no way to escape the decline that
time inevitably brings. A simple exercise of

804
01:08:20.920 --> 01:08:26.079
body mind will allow you to grasp
an attism of temporality. Choose a moment

805
01:08:26.119 --> 01:08:30.319
of the day when you feel relaxed
and unpressed. Sit quietly in a comfortable

806
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:34.520
chair and take off the watch by
hand so you can easily consult it,

807
01:08:34.760 --> 01:08:39.960
without having to pick it up or
move your head too much. Now close

808
01:08:40.079 --> 01:08:44.600
your eyes and become aware of your
breathing. Let your attention follow the stream

809
01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:48.000
of breath that enters your body and
comes out of it. Imagine that your

810
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:53.359
whole body rises and falls with the
flow of every breath. After one or

811
01:08:53.560 --> 01:08:59.279
two minutes, you will feel the
heat and relaxation invading your muscles. When

812
01:08:59.319 --> 01:09:02.159
you sit very ero sitting and serene
inside, slowly open your eyes and take

813
01:09:02.199 --> 01:09:08.960
a look at the second hand of
your watch what it does according to your

814
01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:13.640
degree of relaxation. The seconds will
behave in different ways. For some people

815
01:09:13.640 --> 01:09:17.279
it will have stopped completely, effect
that will last between one and three seconds.

816
01:09:17.880 --> 01:09:23.399
For others, the hand will hesitate
half a second and then return from

817
01:09:23.479 --> 01:09:26.920
a leap to its normal march.
Others will see it moving, but at

818
01:09:27.000 --> 01:09:31.640
a slower pace than usual. Unless
you tried this little experiment, it seems

819
01:09:31.760 --> 01:09:35.479
very unlikely. But once you'
ve gone through the experience of watching a

820
01:09:35.560 --> 01:09:39.399
clock stop, you won' t
doubt again that time is the product of

821
01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:43.680
perception. The only time that exists
is the time that captures your consciousness.

822
01:09:45.439 --> 01:09:49.479
You can learn to bring your consciousness
at will to the region of timelessness to

823
01:09:49.520 --> 01:09:55.560
master this experience. Meditation is the
classical technique. In meditation, the active

824
01:09:55.600 --> 01:09:59.479
mind retreats to its source, just
as the changing universe must have had a

825
01:09:59.560 --> 01:10:03.560
source beyond change. Your mind,
with its tireless activity, arises from a

826
01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:11.359
state of consciousness beyond thought, feeling, emotions, desire and memory. This

827
01:10:11.439 --> 01:10:16.119
is a profound personal experience. In
the state of timelessness or transcendent consciousness,

828
01:10:16.520 --> 01:10:23.000
you experience the feeling of fullness rather
than change, loss and decay. There

829
01:10:23.079 --> 01:10:29.560
is stability and satisfaction. You feel
that infinity is everywhere. When this experience

830
01:10:29.640 --> 01:10:33.279
becomes reality, the fears associated with
change disappear, the fragmentation of eternity in

831
01:10:33.319 --> 01:10:38.199
seconds, hours, days and years
becomes to secondary and primary perfection of every

832
01:10:38.520 --> 01:10:45.560
moment. Now that meditation has entered
the cultural experience of the West, researchers

833
01:10:45.800 --> 01:10:49.399
have applied scientific measurements to the subjective
experience of silence, fullness and eternity.

834
01:10:51.640 --> 01:10:59.399
It has been discovered that the physiological
state of the meditators undergoes definite changes towards

835
01:10:59.479 --> 01:11:03.520
a more efficient fantioning. Hundreds of
individual findings demonstrate a slower respiratory rate,

836
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:10.119
a reduction in oxygen consumption, and
a decreased metabolic rate. In terms of

837
01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:15.239
aging, the most significant conclusion is
that the hormonal imbalance associated with the stress

838
01:11:15.319 --> 01:11:19.319
of which we know that accelerates the
aging process is reversed. This, in

839
01:11:19.319 --> 01:11:25.159
turn, slows down and even reverses
the aging process. According to measurements of

840
01:11:25.199 --> 01:11:30.439
various biological changes associated with decay.
From my experience with studies of people who

841
01:11:30.520 --> 01:11:34.359
practiced transcendental meditation, it has been
established that those who have meditated a long

842
01:11:34.439 --> 01:11:39.640
time can present a biological age between
five and twelve years younger than their chronological

843
01:11:39.640 --> 01:11:45.319
age. The most fascinating aspect of
this research, which has been going on

844
01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:48.159
for more than two decades, is
that the biological process of aging, if

845
01:11:48.239 --> 01:11:53.880
it does not need to be manipulated, can achieve the desired results only through

846
01:11:53.920 --> 01:11:58.960
consciousness. In other words, meditation
alters the frame of reference that gives the

847
01:11:59.039 --> 01:12:02.960
person his expanse of time. On
a quantum plane, the physical facts of

848
01:12:03.079 --> 01:12:08.399
time space, such as heart rhythm
and hormone levels, can be affected simply

849
01:12:08.399 --> 01:12:12.279
by bringing the mind to a reality
where time does not exert such a powerful

850
01:12:12.359 --> 01:12:15.119
command. The new paradigm shows us
that time has many planes and that everyone

851
01:12:15.239 --> 01:12:23.119
is at our disposal in our own
consciousness. Nine we all inhabit a reality

852
01:12:23.159 --> 01:12:28.399
of no change that lies beyond all
change. The experience of this reality puts

853
01:12:28.479 --> 01:12:33.199
change under our domain. For the
time being, the only physiology you can

854
01:12:33.239 --> 01:12:36.880
sustain is based on time. However, the fact that time is linked to

855
01:12:36.880 --> 01:12:42.520
consciousness implies that it could sustain a
very different style of functioning the physiology of

856
01:12:42.840 --> 01:12:47.119
immortality, which would correspond to the
experience of non- change. Non-

857
01:12:47.319 --> 01:12:51.880
change cannot be created as a product
of change. It requires leaving consciousness linked

858
01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:58.560
with time to pass into temporal consciousness. This movement has many gradations. For

859
01:12:59.680 --> 01:13:02.119
example, if you are too short
of time at work, your body'

860
01:13:02.199 --> 01:13:06.479
s reaction to pressure is not automatic. Some people bloom under the pressure of

861
01:13:06.560 --> 01:13:12.000
time, using it to fuel their
creativity and energy, while others are defeated

862
01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:15.680
by it, lose the incentive and
feel a burden that will not give them

863
01:13:15.760 --> 01:13:20.119
satisfaction compared to the stress it causes
them. The person who responds creatively has

864
01:13:20.199 --> 01:13:26.520
learned not to identify with the pressure
of time. It has transcended it,

865
01:13:27.000 --> 01:13:31.079
at least in part unlike those who
feel constrained by stress. For this,

866
01:13:31.119 --> 01:13:35.520
identification with time has become overwhelming.
He can' t escape the tic CT,

867
01:13:35.960 --> 01:13:41.159
the internal clock. Your body can
only reflect your mood in several useful

868
01:13:41.279 --> 01:13:46.000
ways. Our cells constantly adjust to
our perception of time. A biologist would

869
01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:50.560
say that we have chained or worked
in sequence, a series of processes spanning

870
01:13:50.560 --> 01:13:57.399
millions of events related to mind and
body. It is very important to understand

871
01:13:57.479 --> 01:14:00.239
that you can reach a state where
processes linked to time can be realized.

872
01:14:01.159 --> 01:14:04.960
This is demonstrated by a simple analogy. Observe your physical body as if it

873
01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:11.239
were a record of signals exchanged between
your brain and all cells. The nervous

874
01:14:11.359 --> 01:14:17.520
system that sets the classes of messages
sent functions as body software. The myriad

875
01:14:17.600 --> 01:14:23.840
of different hormones, neurotransmitters and other
messenger molecules are the information that is processed

876
01:14:23.960 --> 01:14:29.880
through the software. All this constitutes
the visible programming of your body. But

877
01:14:30.359 --> 01:14:36.640
where the programmer is is not visible, but it must exist. At every

878
01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:42.560
second thousands of decisions are made in
the body mind system countless choices that allow

879
01:14:42.600 --> 01:14:48.319
your physiology to adapt to the demands
of life. If I' m in

880
01:14:48.319 --> 01:14:51.720
India, I see a cobra on
the path and jump back in fear,

881
01:14:53.000 --> 01:14:57.399
you can see the visible apparatus that
controls this event in the muscle reactions I

882
01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:00.720
exhibit, activated by chemical signals from
my neo- nervous system. My accelerated

883
01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:05.039
heart rate and agitated breathing are other
visible signs that it has been put into

884
01:15:05.079 --> 01:15:10.760
action. Adrenaline hormone was added by
the adrenal cortex as a reaction to a

885
01:15:10.800 --> 01:15:17.439
specific brain chemical element sent by the
pituitary. If a biochemist could trace each

886
01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:21.399
of the molecules involved in my fear
reaction, I would still overlook the invisible

887
01:15:21.479 --> 01:15:27.000
decision maker who decided to have the
reaction, because while I reacted in a

888
01:15:27.039 --> 01:15:31.479
fraction of a second, my body
didn' t jump back stupidly. A

889
01:15:31.560 --> 01:15:38.600
person with a very different schedule would
have very different reactions. A snake collector

890
01:15:38.640 --> 01:15:44.079
could lean forward with interest. A
Hindu devotee by recognizing a form of schive

891
01:15:44.439 --> 01:15:49.560
could kneel with religious respect. The
fact is that any reaction would have been

892
01:15:49.560 --> 01:15:56.479
possible. Panic anger, misteria,
paralysis, apathy, curiosity delight, etc.

893
01:15:57.760 --> 01:16:00.600
The invisible programmer is unlimited in terms
of its modes of programming the visible

894
01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:04.399
device of the body. At the
time I stumbled upon the snake, all

895
01:16:04.800 --> 01:16:10.399
the basic processes of my physiology,
breathing, digestion, metabolism, elimination,

896
01:16:11.399 --> 01:16:15.319
perception and thought depended on the meaning
of a cobra. For me, personally,

897
01:16:16.680 --> 01:16:19.840
there is truth in Odes Huxley'
s saying. Experience is not what

898
01:16:19.920 --> 01:16:23.319
happens to you. It' s
what you do with what happens to you.

899
01:16:24.560 --> 01:16:29.239
Where you can locate a meaning.
The quick and easy response is to

900
01:16:29.279 --> 01:16:31.439
say that it is located in the
brain. But this organ is in constant

901
01:16:31.520 --> 01:16:36.760
flux, along with all the others. Like migratory birds, with every second

902
01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:42.000
coming in and out of my brain. Billions of atoms. It swirls electrical

903
01:16:42.000 --> 01:16:47.039
waves that never form the same scheme
twice in life. Your basic chemistry may

904
01:16:47.159 --> 01:16:50.680
vary depending on what you eat at
lunch or if you experience a sudden change

905
01:16:50.760 --> 01:16:56.439
of mood. However, my memory
of the serpent does not dissolve in that

906
01:16:56.479 --> 01:17:00.479
sea of change. My memories are
at the disposal of the programmer who stands

907
01:17:00.520 --> 01:17:05.039
above memory, silently observing my life, taking into account my experiences, always

908
01:17:05.039 --> 01:17:12.920
ready to harbor the possibility of new
choices. For this programmer is but the

909
01:17:12.920 --> 01:17:16.800
conscience of choice. Appreciate the change
without being overwhelmed. Therefore, it escapes

910
01:17:17.239 --> 01:17:24.560
the limitations linked to the time that
arise in the normal world. As a

911
01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:29.520
result, the yoke who fears snakes
learned that fear at some point in the

912
01:17:29.600 --> 01:17:32.960
past. All my reactions are part
of the self linked to time and its

913
01:17:33.039 --> 01:17:39.439
tendencies. In less than a thousandth
of a second, your previously programmed fear

914
01:17:39.600 --> 01:17:44.479
awakens the entire sequence of bodily messages
that produce my actions. For most of

915
01:17:44.520 --> 01:17:47.800
us there is no other self perceptible, because we have not learned to identify

916
01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:53.760
with the decision maker, the silent
witness, whose consciousness is not defined by

917
01:17:53.840 --> 01:17:58.319
the past. However, in a
subtle way, we all feel that something

918
01:17:58.359 --> 01:18:03.039
within us has not changed much,
if ever since we were little. When

919
01:18:03.079 --> 01:18:06.720
we wake up in the morning,
there is a second of pure consciousness before

920
01:18:06.800 --> 01:18:12.279
the old conditioning automatically falls into place. At that moment you are neither happy,

921
01:18:12.720 --> 01:18:15.840
nor sad, nor important, nor
humble, nor old or young.

922
01:18:16.359 --> 01:18:21.840
When I wake up in the morning, this self dresses very soon with the

923
01:18:21.920 --> 01:18:27.920
mantle of experience in a matter of
seconds. I remember who I am,

924
01:18:28.359 --> 01:18:31.000
for example, a forty- six- year- old doctor with a wife,

925
01:18:31.279 --> 01:18:34.119
two children, a home on the
outskirts of Bustin and ten minutes to

926
01:18:34.119 --> 01:18:39.800
get to the clinic. That identity
is the product of change. The self

927
01:18:39.800 --> 01:18:44.119
that is beyond change could be waking
up anywhere in Delhi at five years of

928
01:18:44.239 --> 01:18:46.920
age, sniffing food prepared by my
grandmother, or in Florida at eighty years

929
01:18:46.920 --> 01:18:53.680
of age, listening to the wind
among the palm trees. This invariable self,

930
01:18:53.960 --> 01:18:57.600
which the ancient sages of India called
simply being serves me as a real

931
01:18:57.680 --> 01:19:02.920
reference point for experience. Any other
reference point is limited by change, decline

932
01:19:02.920 --> 01:19:08.199
and loss. Any other sense of
self is identified with pain or pleasure,

933
01:19:08.319 --> 01:19:12.079
poverty or health, happiness or sadness, youth or old age, all conditions

934
01:19:12.159 --> 01:19:20.520
linked to the time imposed by the
relative world. In the consciousness of unity

935
01:19:20.840 --> 01:19:25.479
the world can be explained as a
current of the spirit, which is consciousness.

936
01:19:26.439 --> 01:19:30.279
Our whole goal is to establish an
intimate relationship with being as spirit.

937
01:19:30.720 --> 01:19:34.520
To the extent that we create this
intimacy, the experience of the ageless body

938
01:19:34.600 --> 01:19:41.000
and the bodyless mind ten becomes a
reality. We are not victims of aging,

939
01:19:41.399 --> 01:19:45.079
disease and death. These are part
of the scenario, not the viewer,

940
01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:50.279
which is immune to any form of
change. Life in its source is

941
01:19:50.640 --> 01:19:56.680
creation. When you get in touch
with your own inner intelligence, you get

942
01:19:56.720 --> 01:19:59.760
in touch with the creative core of
life in s s in the or ancient

943
01:19:59.880 --> 01:20:03.800
paradigms. Life control was assigned to
the enormously complex molecule that has revealed less

944
01:20:03.840 --> 01:20:10.800
than one percent of those secrets to
geneticists. In the new paradigm, the

945
01:20:10.840 --> 01:20:15.840
control of life belongs to consciousness.
All the examples cited here of children who

946
01:20:15.920 --> 01:20:19.039
can reduce the secretion of growth hormones, of medical students who alter their production

947
01:20:19.079 --> 01:20:24.880
of interleukins when they feel nervous about
yogis that can manipulate at the will of

948
01:20:24.920 --> 01:20:29.319
the heart rhythm, indicate that the
most basic body processes respond to our mood.

949
01:20:30.520 --> 01:20:33.960
The millions and millions of changes that
occur in our cells are only the

950
01:20:34.000 --> 01:20:38.720
passing panorama of life behind the mask
is the one who sees who represents the

951
01:20:38.720 --> 01:20:43.840
source of the flow of consciousness.
Everything I can experience begins and ends with

952
01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:48.199
consciousness. Every thought or emotion that
captures my attention is a tiny fragment of

953
01:20:48.239 --> 01:20:54.720
consciousness. All the goals and expectations
I set are organized in consciousness. What

954
01:20:54.760 --> 01:20:58.399
the ancient sages called being can be
defined, according to the terms of modern

955
01:20:58.479 --> 01:21:03.760
psychology, as a continuum of consciousness
and the state known as unit consciousness,

956
01:21:03.920 --> 01:21:09.279
the state in which consciousness is complete. The person knows the whole continuum of

957
01:21:09.359 --> 01:21:15.479
herself without masks, empty illusions or
broken fragments. Since we do not maintain

958
01:21:15.520 --> 01:21:19.079
the continuity of our consciousness, we
all fall into voids of one kind or

959
01:21:19.079 --> 01:21:24.640
another. Vast areas of our bodily
existence escape control, leading to sickness,

960
01:21:24.760 --> 01:21:28.800
old age, and death, but
that is to be expected when consciousness has

961
01:21:28.840 --> 01:21:33.720
fragmented. In a famous series of
experiments carried out in the early seventies at

962
01:21:33.720 --> 01:21:38.399
the meninge clinic is va my Rama, a famous spiritual adept from India,

963
01:21:38.960 --> 01:21:42.800
demonstrated his ability to raise his heart
rate from seventy to three hundred pulsations per

964
01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:48.680
minute, which is far above normal
reach. Essentially the heartbeat became a palpitation

965
01:21:48.720 --> 01:21:55.880
that no longer pumped blood the normal
rhythmic way. In a common person,

966
01:21:56.119 --> 01:22:00.079
palpitations can cause cardiac arrest and other
serious and even ninstal problems. It'

967
01:22:00.119 --> 01:22:06.159
s something that attacks thousands of unsuspecting
people every year. However, Esbami and

968
01:22:06.159 --> 01:22:10.960
Rama were not affected by that heart
event that was under the direct control of

969
01:22:11.000 --> 01:22:15.199
their consciousness. This means that if
a person dies in a matter of minutes

970
01:22:15.279 --> 01:22:19.399
from a sudden interruption of his normal
heart rate, this category covers all types

971
01:22:19.399 --> 01:22:24.760
of arrhythmias, fibrillation and tachycardia.
In fact, it has suffered a loss

972
01:22:24.800 --> 01:22:29.920
of consciousness in our materialistic view of
the world. We locate this loss in

973
01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:34.000
the heart muscle, saying that the
electrochemical signals that coordinate a healthy beating of

974
01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:39.840
the heart, have been disordered,
rather than orchestrating their individual conoctractions in a

975
01:22:39.880 --> 01:22:44.199
single, unified pulsation throughout the heart. Many millions of heart cells fall into

976
01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:48.560
isolated and chaotic contractions, making the
organ look like a sac of twisted snakes.

977
01:22:50.520 --> 01:22:57.399
However, this horrendous spectacle feared by
all cardiologists is secondary. The primary

978
01:22:57.479 --> 01:23:01.399
is the loss of consciousness between the
heart cells. They are This loss of

979
01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:05.880
consciousness is not local, but general. The person himself has lost contact with

980
01:23:05.920 --> 01:23:11.239
the deep planes of intelligence that govern
and control his cells. In truth,

981
01:23:11.520 --> 01:23:15.279
each cell is nothing but organized intelligence
in various layers of visible and invisible patterns.

982
01:23:16.279 --> 01:23:19.560
An adept as it is goes my
branch shows us that our consciousness should

983
01:23:19.600 --> 01:23:24.760
not be so, fragmented and reduced. If you knew yourself as it is,

984
01:23:25.119 --> 01:23:28.439
you would understand that it is the
source, course, and goal of

985
01:23:28.479 --> 01:23:32.439
all that flowing intelligence. What the
religious traditions of the world call spirit is

986
01:23:32.479 --> 01:23:40.640
the whole continuity of consciousness that oversees
all fragments and pieces of consciousness. It

987
01:23:40.680 --> 01:23:44.359
is the voids in the knowledge of
ourselves that make us victims of disease,

988
01:23:44.479 --> 01:23:50.520
aging and death. Losing consciousness is
losing intelligence. Losing intelligence is losing control

989
01:23:50.600 --> 01:23:56.520
over the final product of intelligence,
the human body. Therefore, the most

990
01:23:56.800 --> 01:24:00.359
valuable lesson that the new paradigm can
teach us is this. If you want

991
01:24:00.439 --> 01:24:04.159
to change your body, change your
consciousness first. Everything that happens to you

992
01:24:04.199 --> 01:24:09.159
is the result of how you see
yourself to a point that might seem very

993
01:24:09.239 --> 01:24:13.560
strange to you. In the sea
battles of World War I, German sailors

994
01:24:13.640 --> 01:24:19.680
were sometimes immobilized in lifeboats for days
and weeks. After his ship had sunk,

995
01:24:20.640 --> 01:24:26.960
invariably the first to die were the
youngest. This phenomenon was a mystery

996
01:24:27.039 --> 01:24:30.560
until it was understood that the older
sailors, having survived other shipwrecks, knew

997
01:24:30.560 --> 01:24:38.720
that the crisis could be overcome.
Young people who lacked that experience perished because

998
01:24:38.760 --> 01:24:46.159
they were trapped in a hopeless situation. Guided by these incidents, researchers working

999
01:24:46.159 --> 01:24:50.680
with animals have managed to induce rapid
aging, disease and death in rats and

1000
01:24:50.760 --> 01:24:56.239
laboratory mice. By putting them in
situations of great stress, for example,

1001
01:24:56.720 --> 01:25:00.640
they are thrown into water tanks without
any chance of escape. Animals that have

1002
01:25:00.720 --> 01:25:06.840
never been found in such a situation
perceive it as desperate soon give up and

1003
01:25:06.880 --> 01:25:14.239
die. Animals that have been gradually
conditioned to deposits persevere and survive swimming long

1004
01:25:14.479 --> 01:25:21.239
hours without showing signs of deterioration caused
by stress. The history of human aging

1005
01:25:21.279 --> 01:25:28.800
is largely characterized by hopelessness. Our
fearsome images of aging, accompanied by the

1006
01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:33.199
high rates of illness and senility among
the elderly, resulted in gloomy expectations that

1007
01:25:33.239 --> 01:25:39.439
were fulfilled on their own. Old
age was a time of inevitable decline and

1008
01:25:39.560 --> 01:25:45.439
loss of growing physical and mental weakness. Now our entire society awakens to a

1009
01:25:45.560 --> 01:25:49.640
new perception of aging. Sixty-
seventy- year- olds usually expect to

1010
01:25:49.720 --> 01:25:56.399
be as vigorous and healthy as forty- fifty. But there is an underlying

1011
01:25:56.439 --> 01:26:00.159
assumption that has not suffered, a
radical challenge that humans must age. To

1012
01:26:00.199 --> 01:26:04.520
have to age is a fact that
we inherit from the old paradigm stubbornly fixed

1013
01:26:04.560 --> 01:26:09.319
in our world view until a change
of consciousness can bring new facts into the

1014
01:26:09.319 --> 01:26:13.439
light. A vision of the world
is only one way to order the infinite

1015
01:26:13.520 --> 01:26:17.039
energy of the universe in a system
that makes sense. Aging made sense in

1016
01:26:17.119 --> 01:26:23.880
a scheme of nature where all things
changed, withered and died. It makes

1017
01:26:23.920 --> 01:26:28.000
much less sense in a world where
we are surrounded by an endless flow of

1018
01:26:28.159 --> 01:26:32.199
intelligence in constant renewal to you it
is up to you to choose which point

1019
01:26:32.199 --> 01:26:35.319
of view to adopt. You can
choose to see that the rose blooms and

1020
01:26:35.319 --> 01:26:39.439
dies. You can choose to see
the rose as a wave of life that

1021
01:26:39.479 --> 01:26:45.039
never ends, as next year new
roses will emerge from its seeds. Matter

1022
01:26:45.039 --> 01:26:49.000
is a captive moment in space and
time. With a materialistic view of the

1023
01:26:49.039 --> 01:26:55.000
world and of ourselves we make the
captive aspects of the universe assume too much

1024
01:26:55.000 --> 01:26:58.880
importance. According to this book,
go on spreading. I want you to

1025
01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:01.880
experience how fluid and effortless it could
be if you changed your view of the

1026
01:27:01.880 --> 01:27:06.000
world. Despite its solid physical appearance, your body resembles a river similar to

1027
01:27:06.039 --> 01:27:11.119
the sacred river so beautifully described by
Germán rock in his spiritual novel Sidarta.

1028
01:27:13.439 --> 01:27:15.520
In that book comes a time when
if Dharma, the seeker of enlightenment,

1029
01:27:15.680 --> 01:27:20.800
finally has peace after years of wandering, it ends by a large river in

1030
01:27:20.880 --> 01:27:26.920
India, where an inner voice whispers
to him. Love this river stay next

1031
01:27:26.960 --> 01:27:30.520
to him learn from him. For
me, this whisper says something about my

1032
01:27:30.560 --> 01:27:34.720
body, which flows and flows in
the processes of your life. Like rivers.

1033
01:27:35.479 --> 01:27:41.239
My body changes when the moment changes. If I could do the same,

1034
01:27:41.600 --> 01:27:45.359
there would be no gaps in my
life, no memories of past traumas

1035
01:27:45.760 --> 01:27:49.880
that would trigger new pain, no
expectation of future pains that would make me

1036
01:27:49.880 --> 01:27:54.399
fall in fear. Your body is
the river of life that sustains you,

1037
01:27:54.720 --> 01:27:59.840
but it does so humbly without seeking
recognition. If you sit down and listen

1038
01:27:59.840 --> 01:28:02.640
to it, you will discover that
deep intelligence dwells in you and within you.

1039
01:28:03.640 --> 01:28:08.000
It is not an intelligence of words, for the knowledge of words,

1040
01:28:08.199 --> 01:28:12.800
compared to the millions of years of
wisdom woven into a single cell, does

1041
01:28:12.800 --> 01:28:16.960
not seem so great. If Darta
wanted to learn from the river and hear

1042
01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:21.800
that it is of tremendous importance,
it is necessary to desire a meeting with

1043
01:28:21.880 --> 01:28:24.960
the flow of the body in order
to learn from it. And that means

1044
01:28:25.039 --> 01:28:28.560
you must be willing to open up
to the knowledge that was overlooked in your

1045
01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:32.920
old way of seeing that going on. It seemed to him that whoever understood

1046
01:28:33.039 --> 01:28:39.079
that river and its secrets would understand
much more, many secrets, all secrets.

1047
01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:42.319
Everything that' s happened to you
is registered in your body. But

1048
01:28:42.399 --> 01:28:46.119
the most important thing is that there
are also new possibilities there. Aging for

1049
01:28:46.239 --> 01:28:49.319
isé is being something that is happening
to you, when in reality it is

1050
01:28:49.359 --> 01:28:54.840
largely something that your body has learned
to do, It has learned to fulfill

1051
01:28:54.840 --> 01:28:59.560
the programming that you, the programmer, supplied to it. As much of

1052
01:28:59.680 --> 01:29:03.960
these programming was unconscious, dictated by
beliefs and assumptions of which you hardly had

1053
01:29:05.760 --> 01:29:10.560
a conscience. It' s important
to ruin the whole idea building that gave

1054
01:29:10.600 --> 01:29:15.319
you the material world. As you
know it now we need to return to

1055
01:29:15.399 --> 01:29:19.600
the body, for the intimate experience
we have of our physical self contains the

1056
01:29:19.600 --> 01:29:24.000
most personal truth. Being at ease
with your sensations of this moment allows you

1057
01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:27.680
to escape into the shadow of threat
that hangs above all when order is losing

1058
01:29:27.720 --> 01:29:31.119
the battle against entropy. That is
the world in which we have been taught

1059
01:29:31.159 --> 01:29:35.960
to believe. But there is another
way and another world. Such was the

1060
01:29:36.000 --> 01:29:41.760
greatest lesson Darta learned from the river. At the end of the novel he

1061
01:29:41.880 --> 01:29:46.039
talks about it with his oldest friend
and partner Va his Deva. You have

1062
01:29:46.119 --> 01:29:49.920
also learned the secret of the river, that there is no time or such

1063
01:29:49.920 --> 01:29:57.880
thing. A luminous smile spread over
Vasudeva' s face. Yes, yes,

1064
01:29:57.880 --> 01:30:01.000
Dharta. This is what you want
to say that the river is everywhere

1065
01:30:01.079 --> 01:30:04.520
at the same time, in the
fountain and in the mouth, in the

1066
01:30:04.520 --> 01:30:08.960
waterfall, in the barge, in
the current, in the ocean and in

1067
01:30:09.000 --> 01:30:12.399
the mountains wherever you want, and
that for him there is only the present.

1068
01:30:12.720 --> 01:30:15.079
Without the shadow of the past or
the shadow of the future.“

1069
01:30:15.960 --> 01:30:19.720
That is,” Sidarth said,“ and when I learned that I reviewed

1070
01:30:19.800 --> 01:30:21.399
my life and it was also a
river. And if give the child,

1071
01:30:21.640 --> 01:30:26.560
if give the mature man and if
give the old man were separated only by

1072
01:30:26.560 --> 01:30:30.600
shadows, not by reality. He
spoke with delight, but Basudeva merely smiled

1073
01:30:30.680 --> 01:30:36.239
at him radiantly and pointed out his
agreement with a head motion. The self

1074
01:30:36.560 --> 01:30:41.560
- delusion fostered by centuries of materialism
is that we can conquer the river and

1075
01:30:41.600 --> 01:30:45.079
dominate its flow. If we did, our only achievement would be to die.

1076
01:30:45.000 --> 01:30:48.319
The truth about each of us is
that our life extends into larger and

1077
01:30:48.359 --> 01:30:55.000
larger fields of experience. There are
no limits to energy, information and intelligence

1078
01:30:55.000 --> 01:31:00.319
concentrated in the existence of a person
in physical form. This infinite creativity has

1079
01:31:00.359 --> 01:31:03.760
been incarnated in your cells in a
form that is not manifest. It is

1080
01:31:03.800 --> 01:31:08.079
expressed in the silence of the mind, in the emptiness, that in reality

1081
01:31:08.159 --> 01:31:13.279
it is a fullness of unknowns,
meanings, possible, possible truths, possible

1082
01:31:13.279 --> 01:31:16.039
creations. The void in the center
of each atom is the womb of the

1083
01:31:16.079 --> 01:31:20.720
universe, in the flash of a
thought. When two neurons interact, there

1084
01:31:20.760 --> 01:31:25.960
is an opportunity for a new world
to be born. This book is dedicated

1085
01:31:26.000 --> 01:31:29.039
to exploring that silence, in which
the breath of time does not wither,

1086
01:31:29.600 --> 01:31:33.640
but renews, looks to the earth, where no one is old, is

1087
01:31:33.680 --> 01:31:42.439
nowhere, but in you In practice
how to reinterpret your body, The first

1088
01:31:42.600 --> 01:31:45.800
step to experiencing your body differently is
to change the interpretation you give it.

1089
01:31:47.359 --> 01:31:51.479
There are not two people who experience
their body exactly the same way, because

1090
01:31:51.560 --> 01:31:56.720
each interprets the experience, including the
experience of inhabiting a body according to their

1091
01:31:56.800 --> 01:32:03.199
own personal beliefs, values, assumptions
and memories. An aging body involves a

1092
01:32:03.359 --> 01:32:09.960
style of interpretation, an ageless body
has in itself the opposite style. Try

1093
01:32:10.039 --> 01:32:14.239
to get rid of the assumption that
your body gets older, because that'

1094
01:32:14.239 --> 01:32:15.640
s the way it is. If
you are sure that aging is natural,

1095
01:32:15.920 --> 01:32:20.960
inevitable and normal. I don'
t intend you to erase those assumptions instantly,

1096
01:32:21.760 --> 01:32:26.560
even if you tried you couldn'
t, because the old paradigm has

1097
01:32:26.600 --> 01:32:30.359
taught us all to accept those assumptions
without questioning. However, while respecting your

1098
01:32:30.399 --> 01:32:35.159
deep beliefs about aging, disease,
and death. Authorize yourself to set aside

1099
01:32:35.239 --> 01:32:42.359
for a moment the old paradigm,
the quantum vision of the world or new

1100
01:32:42.399 --> 01:32:46.479
paradigm teaches us that we are constantly
doing and undoing our body under the illusion

1101
01:32:46.560 --> 01:32:49.319
that it is a solid and stable
object. The body is a process.

1102
01:32:49.600 --> 01:32:55.079
As long as that process is directed
towards renewal, the cells of the body

1103
01:32:55.119 --> 01:32:59.079
will remain new for a long time
to pass and as exposed as we are

1104
01:32:59.079 --> 01:33:03.319
to entropy. The great enemy of
renewal is habit. When we apply to

1105
01:33:03.359 --> 01:33:08.920
the present petrified interpretations of the past, there will always be a vacuum,

1106
01:33:09.079 --> 01:33:11.279
a bad adjustment between the necessity of
the moment and the solution of the past.

1107
01:33:12.199 --> 01:33:15.159
To have a renewed body you must
be willing to have new perceptions that

1108
01:33:15.239 --> 01:33:20.520
give rise to new solutions. The
following exercises are designed to help you open

1109
01:33:20.600 --> 01:33:26.840
up new perceptions. Some serve to
absorb the new knowledge of the quantum vision

1110
01:33:26.920 --> 01:33:30.479
of the world as it applies to
your body. Others are exercises of new

1111
01:33:30.560 --> 01:33:34.479
experiences to acquire an inner feeling of
that ageless plane that exists in your body.

1112
01:33:35.880 --> 01:33:41.119
As we move towards subsequent exercises,
the ideal will be for knowledge and

1113
01:33:41.159 --> 01:33:45.079
experience to begin to melt. That' s the sign that you' re

1114
01:33:45.239 --> 01:33:50.720
fully absorbing that new world view instead
of the old exercise. One to see

1115
01:33:50.800 --> 01:33:56.520
through the mask of matter, the
most important step to acquire the experience of

1116
01:33:56.520 --> 01:34:00.359
the body without age is to thawed
the perceptions that have in sedarra you in

1117
01:34:00.399 --> 01:34:05.359
sensations of isolation, fragmentation and division. These isolated perceptions reinforce the idea that

1118
01:34:05.359 --> 01:34:10.720
one can only believe in the reality
of the five senses. So, let

1119
01:34:10.720 --> 01:34:14.119
' s see if we can go
beyond the senses to look for a plane

1120
01:34:14.119 --> 01:34:17.359
of transcendent speguerrity, which is in
fact, more real than the world of

1121
01:34:17.399 --> 01:34:24.319
the senses. Look at your hand
and examine it carefully. It follows its

1122
01:34:24.319 --> 01:34:28.279
lines and its familiar folds feel,
the texture of the skin, the flexible

1123
01:34:28.319 --> 01:34:30.960
meat that quilts, the submerged hardness
of the bone. This is the hand

1124
01:34:31.000 --> 01:34:35.279
that your senses reveal to you,
a material object composed of flesh and blood.

1125
01:34:36.199 --> 01:34:42.159
In this first exercise we will try
to thaw your hand and give you

1126
01:34:42.279 --> 01:34:45.920
a different experience of it beyond the
reach of your senses. As you retain

1127
01:34:46.000 --> 01:34:48.960
the image of your hand in the
eye of the mind, imagine that you

1128
01:34:49.000 --> 01:34:54.399
are examining it with a high-
power microscope, whose lens can penetrate the

1129
01:34:54.479 --> 01:34:59.000
finest tissues of matter and energy.
At the lowest power, you no longer

1130
01:34:59.079 --> 01:35:03.079
see smooth meat, but a group
of individual cells loosely bound by connective tissue.

1131
01:35:04.000 --> 01:35:08.920
Each cell is a protein thing bag
that presents itself as long chains of

1132
01:35:08.920 --> 01:35:16.600
smaller molecules linked by invisible bonds.
As you get closer you see separate atoms

1133
01:35:16.600 --> 01:35:20.800
of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen,
etc. They don' t have any

1134
01:35:20.800 --> 01:35:26.079
solidity. They are ghostly and vibrant
shadows that the microscope reveals as pieces of

1135
01:35:26.079 --> 01:35:30.960
light and darkness you have reached the
boundary between matter and energy, for the

1136
01:35:30.000 --> 01:35:35.520
subatomic particles that form each atom swirled
electrons dancing around a nuclear center of protons

1137
01:35:35.560 --> 01:35:42.079
and neutrons are not spots and points
of matter. Rather, they look like

1138
01:35:42.079 --> 01:35:45.439
traces of light left by fireworks.
During the night. At this level you

1139
01:35:45.479 --> 01:35:48.840
see that all the things I thought
were solid are just traces of energy.

1140
01:35:49.079 --> 01:35:53.640
As soon as you see a trail, the energy has passed to other places

1141
01:35:53.760 --> 01:35:57.479
without leaving anything substantial that you can
touch or see. Every trace is a

1142
01:35:57.520 --> 01:36:02.560
fleeting quantum fact that dies in terms
of repairing it. Now you' re

1143
01:36:02.600 --> 01:36:09.560
starting to sink even deeper into quantum
space. All light disappears replaced by yawning

1144
01:36:09.600 --> 01:36:15.079
abysses of black void far away in
the horizon of your vision you see a

1145
01:36:15.119 --> 01:36:18.000
last flash, as the most distant
and imperceptible star seen in the night sky

1146
01:36:18.079 --> 01:36:23.920
retain flash in the mind, for
it is the last remaining matter or energy

1147
01:36:24.039 --> 01:36:30.079
not detectable by any scientific instruments.
The blackness closes. You find yourself in

1148
01:36:30.119 --> 01:36:33.159
a place where not only matter and
energy have disappeared, but also space and

1149
01:36:33.199 --> 01:36:40.720
time have left behind. Your hand
as made of time space. Like all

1150
01:36:40.720 --> 01:36:44.439
the facts of time space, your
body must have an origin beyond the fourth

1151
01:36:44.479 --> 01:36:49.439
dimension. In this region there are
no things such as before or after any

1152
01:36:49.520 --> 01:36:54.680
concept of big or small. Here
your hand exists before the big explosion and

1153
01:36:54.720 --> 01:36:58.199
after the universe ends up in the
heat death of absolute zero is actually n

1154
01:36:58.199 --> 01:37:02.920
is. These terms have no meaning, for you have reached the womb of

1155
01:37:03.239 --> 01:37:08.479
the universe the prequantial region, which
has no dimension and which has all dimensions

1156
01:37:09.600 --> 01:37:15.600
you are everywhere and nowhere, your
hand has ceased to exist. Not so

1157
01:37:15.680 --> 01:37:18.880
when crossing the boundary of the fourth
dimension, the very notion of place and

1158
01:37:19.239 --> 01:37:26.279
time is no longer applicable. You
still have at your disposal the roughest levels

1159
01:37:26.359 --> 01:37:30.199
of perception your hand still exists on
all those levels that you have traversed quantum

1160
01:37:30.600 --> 01:37:36.079
subatomic, atomic, molecular, celler, connected by the visible intelligence to the

1161
01:37:36.159 --> 01:37:41.479
place where you are now. Each
plane is a layer of transformation into a

1162
01:37:41.560 --> 01:37:45.439
whole different from the one above or
below. But only where there is but

1163
01:37:45.520 --> 01:37:49.359
pure information, creative potential idea,
are all planes reduced to their common origin.

1164
01:37:51.760 --> 01:37:57.880
Cabila on this exercise a moment to
absorb her lessons. The three-

1165
01:37:58.640 --> 01:38:01.960
dimensional body presented by s S S
s NSR two is a mirage. Each

1166
01:38:02.039 --> 01:38:06.239
solid particle of matter consists of more
than ninety- nine thousand nine hundred ninety

1167
01:38:06.600 --> 01:38:14.039
- nine percent of empty space.
The vacuum between two electrons is proportionally as

1168
01:38:14.119 --> 01:38:18.560
empty as the space between two galaxies. If you dig deep enough into the

1169
01:38:18.640 --> 01:38:21.840
fabric of matter and energy, you
come to the origin of the universe.

1170
01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:27.279
All the events of time space have
a common source, outside of reality that

1171
01:38:27.359 --> 01:38:33.199
we perceive beyond what your body exists
as pure creative potential multilayered process, controlled

1172
01:38:33.279 --> 01:38:41.199
by intelligence, now examine your hand
with new understanding. It is the starting

1173
01:38:41.279 --> 01:38:45.039
point of a dizzying descent into the
dance of life, where the dancer disappears.

1174
01:38:45.680 --> 01:38:47.840
If you get too close and the
music gets lost in the silence of

1175
01:38:47.880 --> 01:38:55.720
eternity, the dance is eternal,
the dance is you exercise two close the

1176
01:38:55.800 --> 01:39:00.560
void. Now that we' ve
touched that plane of quantum space that underlies

1177
01:39:00.680 --> 01:39:05.640
all physical existence, I want you
to feel more comfortable there. We generally

1178
01:39:05.680 --> 01:39:10.720
think that space is cold and empty, but quantum space is full. It

1179
01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:15.239
is the continuity that connects everything in
the universe. When the quantum field is

1180
01:39:15.279 --> 01:39:18.520
active, you give rise to an
event of time space. When it'

1181
01:39:18.520 --> 01:39:23.239
s still, it' s just
quantum space. But this does not mean

1182
01:39:23.359 --> 01:39:26.840
that the field is empty. In
it he imagines the earth surrounded by magnetic

1183
01:39:26.880 --> 01:39:31.119
force lines that radiate from the north
and south magnetic poles. All the independent

1184
01:39:31.199 --> 01:39:38.319
magnets on the planet participate in this
field. They are small individual outcrops of

1185
01:39:38.319 --> 01:39:41.920
magnetism. However, even if there
is no magnet in your immediate vicinity,

1186
01:39:42.279 --> 01:39:45.760
the magnetic field surrounds you with a
horseshoe- shaped magnet. It is a

1187
01:39:45.880 --> 01:39:51.439
local outcropping of the field an event
of time space. While the lines of

1188
01:39:51.479 --> 01:39:58.039
magnetism surrounding the earth are thirty-
three. A presence does not invent it

1189
01:39:58.079 --> 01:40:03.760
masters as linked as aspects of an
underlying energy field as your body emanates,

1190
01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:10.720
electromagnetic frequencies. You are one more
expression of the same field, the pulsations

1191
01:40:10.760 --> 01:40:14.960
of nerve signals running through your limbs, the electrical charge emitted by your heart

1192
01:40:15.039 --> 01:40:18.279
cells, and the mild current field
surrounding your brain. All this proves that

1193
01:40:18.359 --> 01:40:24.039
you are not isolated from any form
of energy in the universe. Any appearance

1194
01:40:24.159 --> 01:40:27.880
of isolation is only a product of
the limitation of your senses, which are

1195
01:40:27.960 --> 01:40:32.399
not attuned to these energies. Imagine
two candles placed on a table in front

1196
01:40:32.479 --> 01:40:36.119
of you, separated by a meter. In your eyes, they seem separate

1197
01:40:36.199 --> 01:40:40.800
and independent. However, the light
they throw fills the room with photons.

1198
01:40:41.680 --> 01:40:45.000
All the space between them is surmounted
by light and, therefore, in the

1199
01:40:45.000 --> 01:40:49.159
quantum plane there is no real separation. Now carry one of the candles out

1200
01:40:49.479 --> 01:40:55.760
at night and hold against a background
of stars. The luminous points of the

1201
01:40:55.840 --> 01:40:59.199
sky may be millions of light years
away, but in the quantum plane each

1202
01:40:59.279 --> 01:41:01.560
star is as connected to your candle
as the second candle of the room.

1203
01:41:02.399 --> 01:41:09.279
The vast open space between them contains
waves of energy that bind them when you

1204
01:41:09.319 --> 01:41:13.159
look at the candle and the distant
stars in your retina fall photons of light

1205
01:41:13.239 --> 01:41:16.840
from one and the other. There
they activate flashes of electrochemical discharges that belong

1206
01:41:16.960 --> 01:41:20.880
to a vibrational frequency different from visible
light, but that are part of the

1207
01:41:20.960 --> 01:41:26.439
same electromagnetic field. Therefore, you
are another candle or other star whose local

1208
01:41:26.479 --> 01:41:30.720
concentration of matter and energy is a
flowering of the infinite field that surrounds and

1209
01:41:30.840 --> 01:41:36.800
sustains you. Think of this organic
link between everything that exists. The lessons

1210
01:41:36.880 --> 01:41:44.000
of this exercise are however isolated something
seems to the senses. Nothing is isolated

1211
01:41:44.119 --> 01:41:47.960
in the quantum plane. The quantum
field exists in IT, around IT and

1212
01:41:48.119 --> 01:41:53.720
through IT. You' re not
looking at the field in every wave,

1213
01:41:54.319 --> 01:41:58.439
in every particle. The field is
your long body. Each of your cells

1214
01:41:58.479 --> 01:42:01.600
is a concentration of information and energy
within the totality of information and energy in

1215
01:42:01.640 --> 01:42:08.359
your body. Likewise, you are
a local concentration of information and energy in

1216
01:42:08.439 --> 01:42:13.840
the whole, which is the body
of the universe. When you begin to

1217
01:42:13.920 --> 01:42:17.199
possess this knowledge, nothing in your
environment will seem threatening to you. As

1218
01:42:17.319 --> 01:42:23.039
a result, the fear of isolation
will lose its power over you the uninterrupted

1219
01:42:23.079 --> 01:42:29.600
flow of consciousness will counteract entropy and
aging exercise three. Aspiring the field,

1220
01:42:30.079 --> 01:42:34.600
the quantum field transcends everyday reality,
but keep a close intimacy with your experience,

1221
01:42:35.159 --> 01:42:40.640
Search for a word in your memory, feel an emotion, grasp a

1222
01:42:40.680 --> 01:42:45.600
concept. These are events that change
the whole field. Sir James Jeans,

1223
01:42:45.920 --> 01:42:51.359
an eminent British physicist, once commented
when an electron vibrates, the universe trembles.

1224
01:42:53.880 --> 01:42:57.720
There is no minimal activity in any
of your cells that can cross the

1225
01:42:57.880 --> 01:43:02.319
entire quantum field unnoticed. At its
most refined level. All physiological processes are

1226
01:43:02.399 --> 01:43:08.479
recorded in the fabric of nature.
In other words, the more refined a

1227
01:43:08.560 --> 01:43:13.560
process is more linked to the basic
activity of the cosmos. Here is a

1228
01:43:13.640 --> 01:43:17.800
simple breathing exercise that can give you
a remarkably lived experience of this phenomenon.

1229
01:43:19.159 --> 01:43:25.560
Sit comfortably in a chair with closed
eyes, gently and slowly suck through the

1230
01:43:25.640 --> 01:43:30.520
nostrils, imagining that you attract the
air from an infinitely distant point. Visualize

1231
01:43:30.640 --> 01:43:35.119
the air that comes gently to you
from the edge of the universe. Feel

1232
01:43:35.199 --> 01:43:42.640
like it fills your body with freshness. Now exhale slowly and easily by sending

1233
01:43:42.800 --> 01:43:46.520
each atom of air back to its
infinitely distant source. Perhaps it will help

1234
01:43:46.560 --> 01:43:49.920
you imagine a strand that extends from
you to the far corners of the cosmos.

1235
01:43:51.199 --> 01:43:56.399
You can also imagine a star suspended
before you that sends light from an

1236
01:43:56.439 --> 01:44:00.680
infinitely distant place in one case or
another. And more, imagine the strand

1237
01:44:00.760 --> 01:44:03.279
or the star as if they were
your source of air. If you'

1238
01:44:03.359 --> 01:44:06.680
re not capable of visualizing, don' t worry. It will be enough

1239
01:44:06.760 --> 01:44:12.880
for you to keep the word infinite
in mind as you breathe whatever technique you

1240
01:44:12.880 --> 01:44:15.199
use. The goal is to feel
that every breath comes to you from the

1241
01:44:15.279 --> 01:44:19.640
quantum field, just as it actually
happens on a subtle plane. By re

1242
01:44:19.800 --> 01:44:24.239
- establishing the memory of your connection
with the quantum field, your body will

1243
01:44:24.319 --> 01:44:31.239
awaken the memory of renewal exercise four
to redefine after having absorbed the knowledge that

1244
01:44:31.359 --> 01:44:34.399
your body is not an isolated sculpture. In space and time define yourself again.

1245
01:44:35.600 --> 01:44:41.319
By mentally repeating the following statements,
I can use the power of my

1246
01:44:41.359 --> 01:44:45.840
consciousness to experience a body that is
fluid, rather than solid, flexible,

1247
01:44:45.039 --> 01:44:48.560
rather than rigid quantum, instead of
dynamic material, instead of static composed of

1248
01:44:50.159 --> 01:44:56.079
information and energy, instead of chemical
reactions, at random an intelligence network,

1249
01:44:58.079 --> 01:45:00.960
instead of a stupid, fresh and
always renewed nary sea, instead of entropic

1250
01:45:00.039 --> 01:45:05.600
and temporary decadent, rather than time- bound. Another good set of statements

1251
01:45:05.720 --> 01:45:11.520
to redefine. I am not my
atoms, They come and go, I

1252
01:45:11.600 --> 01:45:15.439
am not my thoughts, They come
and go, I am not my self.

1253
01:45:15.800 --> 01:45:18.960
The image I have of myself changes. I' m above and beyond

1254
01:45:19.039 --> 01:45:23.279
all that, I' m the
witness, the interpreter, the me.

1255
01:45:23.359 --> 01:45:28.760
Beyond the image of my self,
this self lacks space and time. Repeating

1256
01:45:28.800 --> 01:45:32.520
these statements does not serve only as
a mental reminder. The human body,

1257
01:45:32.880 --> 01:45:38.159
as a process, rather than as
an object, is constantly filled with messages

1258
01:45:38.319 --> 01:45:41.439
of all kinds. The verbal messages
we hear in the head are just a

1259
01:45:41.520 --> 01:45:45.479
version of the information, which cells
exchange every second. As the consciousness of

1260
01:45:45.600 --> 01:45:50.279
every person is colored by past experiences, the flow of information that exists within

1261
01:45:50.359 --> 01:45:57.239
us suffers the influence of unconscious traces
of which we have little consciousness. We

1262
01:45:57.279 --> 01:46:00.479
' ll examine in detail how those
unconscious tracks break. The false the flow

1263
01:46:00.560 --> 01:46:05.399
of messages creating the loss of intelligence
that results in aging. At the moment

1264
01:46:05.680 --> 01:46:11.119
remember that you can change these tracks, giving the unconscious new assumptions and beliefs

1265
01:46:11.199 --> 01:46:15.520
with which to operate. Every thought
you have active in your brain a messenger

1266
01:46:15.600 --> 01:46:23.840
molecule. This means that every mental
impulse is automatically transformed into biological information.

1267
01:46:24.840 --> 01:46:30.880
By repeating these new statements, affirming
before yourself that your body is not defined

1268
01:46:30.920 --> 01:46:35.680
by the old paradigm, you allow
new biological information to be produced through body

1269
01:46:35.840 --> 01:46:41.760
- mind bonding. Your cells receive
that redefined sense of yourself as new programming.

1270
01:46:43.439 --> 01:46:46.039
In this way the gap between your
former isolated self and the image of

1271
01:46:46.159 --> 01:46:53.920
you begins to close how to be
ageless and timeless. Part two, aging

1272
01:46:54.000 --> 01:46:59.199
and consciousness. Consciousness has the power
to change aging, but it is a

1273
01:46:59.279 --> 01:47:03.439
two- edged sword that can both
heal and destroy. The difference lies in

1274
01:47:03.520 --> 01:47:09.960
how your consciousness is conditioned or trained
to adopt diverse attitudes, assumptions, beliefs,

1275
01:47:10.119 --> 01:47:14.720
and reactions. When these mental patterns
are destructive, the person is driven

1276
01:47:14.840 --> 01:47:19.079
by his mind to destructive behavior.
When mental patterns are constructive, the person

1277
01:47:19.159 --> 01:47:27.079
is motivated towards self- improvement behavior
before being trained. Consciousness is only a

1278
01:47:27.159 --> 01:47:30.960
field of energy and information. It
is the faculty that allows the mind to

1279
01:47:30.039 --> 01:47:35.319
have thought before the thought has a
real presence. Compared to a single expression

1280
01:47:35.359 --> 01:47:40.640
of matter and energy, either an
atom or a galaxy. The quantum field

1281
01:47:40.720 --> 01:47:45.680
is incomparably more powerful, as it
has the potential to generate infinite convi nations

1282
01:47:45.720 --> 01:47:50.920
of time- space events that have
never occurred. Similarly, as always,

1283
01:47:51.520 --> 01:47:56.199
it remains capable of generating new mental
impulses that, in turn, generate new

1284
01:47:56.319 --> 01:48:00.079
biological information. Your consciousness is far
more powerful than any thought you might have.

1285
01:48:01.760 --> 01:48:06.279
Maintaining This creative potential is the characteristic
of not aging giving up on it

1286
01:48:06.359 --> 01:48:11.760
in favor of habits, rites,
rigid beliefs and long- standing behaviors,

1287
01:48:12.039 --> 01:48:16.319
it is characteristic of aging. In
ancient China, Tao Techin proclaimed the same

1288
01:48:16.399 --> 01:48:20.960
truth, everything flexible and flowing will
tend to grow. Everything rigid and blocked

1289
01:48:21.079 --> 01:48:28.520
will wither and die. The impressions
of past experiences set in our minds predictable

1290
01:48:28.600 --> 01:48:33.720
models that activate predictable behaviour. We
all have a complex inner life where positive

1291
01:48:33.800 --> 01:48:39.079
and negative thinking patterns are swirled.
But the simple fact is that consciousness can

1292
01:48:39.239 --> 01:48:43.439
be trained. It is the most
fundamental thing that happens to us from birth

1293
01:48:43.439 --> 01:48:46.319
onwards, as it will be melted
into which a seal ring sinks. The

1294
01:48:46.399 --> 01:48:51.000
raw conscience and report can retain an
impression and once the impression is established,

1295
01:48:51.159 --> 01:48:57.960
the consciousness accommodates around it the illusion
of not being able to choose childhood we

1296
01:48:59.720 --> 01:49:03.479
were more impressionable than ever. Our
consciousness was as it would be fresh,

1297
01:49:04.039 --> 01:49:09.399
not yet marked by experience. When
old age comes, that same consciousness has

1298
01:49:09.520 --> 01:49:13.680
been conditioned thousands of times and,
as it will be old, used too

1299
01:49:13.680 --> 01:49:19.000
many times. The mind becomes brittle
and rigid. It is difficult to find

1300
01:49:19.039 --> 01:49:24.720
even a small corner that is not
conditioned by multiple layers of experience. Old

1301
01:49:24.840 --> 01:49:30.520
bodies reflect that underlying stiffness that is
felt in all cells. The number of

1302
01:49:30.600 --> 01:49:35.800
impressions that overlap within us is overwhelming. Behavioral psychologists have calculated that only the

1303
01:49:35.880 --> 01:49:41.359
verbal keys provided to us by our
parents in the early childhood that still run

1304
01:49:41.439 --> 01:49:45.800
inside our head like tape recorders with
sor udina, equal more than twenty-

1305
01:49:45.079 --> 01:49:51.079
five zero hours of pure conditioning for
each of us. The learning process that

1306
01:49:51.159 --> 01:49:57.479
teaches us to age complex and never
ends involves attitudes inherited from the family,

1307
01:49:57.920 --> 01:50:02.399
parents and societies of the early years. What your mother said when she detected

1308
01:50:02.479 --> 01:50:06.920
her first wrinkles. He looked at
them as the dreaded symbol of lost youth.

1309
01:50:08.960 --> 01:50:13.199
It continued to be considered beautiful and
desirable. How your father received retirement

1310
01:50:13.279 --> 01:50:16.600
as the end of his useful existence
or as the threshold of a better time.

1311
01:50:17.920 --> 01:50:23.920
Your grandparents were benign and wise or
distant guides, strangers who inspired fear.

1312
01:50:24.840 --> 01:50:30.600
The signs of old age they presented
were seen as senectud or simply as

1313
01:50:30.600 --> 01:50:36.840
change. The conditioning effect is always
the same choice is restricted. The act

1314
01:50:36.880 --> 01:50:42.399
of eating, for example, is
a choice that almost all of us exercise

1315
01:50:42.479 --> 01:50:46.600
freely several times a day, but
those who suffer from anorexia find that choice

1316
01:50:46.600 --> 01:50:50.640
severely limited. In the anorexic consciousness
there are powerful impressions of low self-

1317
01:50:51.199 --> 01:50:57.199
esteem, harshness, repressed anger guilt
and images of a defective body. These

1318
01:50:57.279 --> 01:51:01.520
impressions can be extraordinarily intricate, but
the end result has the simplicity of a

1319
01:51:01.600 --> 01:51:06.840
graph. That person can no longer
eat normally. The mere vision of active

1320
01:51:06.920 --> 01:51:12.840
food, the unconscious conditioning, the
repulsive sensation to flora spontaneously, killing the

1321
01:51:12.840 --> 01:51:17.520
appetite. If the condition has progressed
to an extreme point, the anorexic is

1322
01:51:17.600 --> 01:51:23.439
practically paralyzed, forced by its old
condition to starve even when the food is

1323
01:51:23.520 --> 01:51:30.119
abundant. Every doctor hears the same
distressed complaint from someone who has a eating

1324
01:51:30.199 --> 01:51:33.760
disorder. I have to act like
this. I have to do what I

1325
01:51:33.760 --> 01:51:38.399
' m doing. This condemnation is
an illusion, as the ligatures of conditioning

1326
01:51:38.479 --> 01:51:45.279
may be broken as it rules But
this illusion is overwhelming because of the convincing

1327
01:51:45.359 --> 01:51:48.520
under its influence, the physiological mechanism
of hunger is distorted in abnormal responses.

1328
01:51:49.640 --> 01:51:55.960
The same mechanism applies to our theme, ageing. Within each one is hidden

1329
01:51:56.039 --> 01:51:59.840
the conviction that it must age,
which operates upon us with such strength that

1330
01:52:00.079 --> 01:52:04.239
our bodies adapt to it whenever the
possibility of choosing seems eliminated is operating some

1331
01:52:04.319 --> 01:52:11.880
form of illusion. Thousands of years
ago, Zancara, the greatest of the

1332
01:52:11.960 --> 01:52:15.560
Indian sages, declared that people age
and die because they see others grow old

1333
01:52:15.560 --> 01:52:20.680
and die. It has taken centuries
to begin to grasp this extraordinary acuity.

1334
01:52:21.680 --> 01:52:28.119
As a physical process. Aging is
universal. According to all appearances, inevitable.

1335
01:52:29.079 --> 01:52:32.399
A steam locomotive does not wear out
until it disarms because it sees other

1336
01:52:32.479 --> 01:52:36.920
locomotives do the same. The only
conditioning that affects any machine is simple wear.

1337
01:52:39.159 --> 01:52:42.800
Certain parts run out before others because
they absorb more impact or friction.

1338
01:52:44.199 --> 01:52:48.159
Our body also absorbs impact and friction. Various organs and tissues run out before

1339
01:52:48.199 --> 01:52:54.359
others. The physical picture looks so
much like mechanical wear that we can'

1340
01:52:54.439 --> 01:52:59.640
t understand the deeper part of the
sancara phrase. The aged body responds to

1341
01:52:59.680 --> 01:53:06.439
social conditioning. There are societies where
people share very different conditioning styles. Yes,

1342
01:53:06.760 --> 01:53:12.239
therefore, it ages in a very
different way. In recent decades,

1343
01:53:12.319 --> 01:53:17.760
anthropologists have discovered with surprise that many
supposedly primitive peoples are immune to the signs

1344
01:53:17.800 --> 01:53:24.720
of aging that the West has long
accepted This boed igen co- author of

1345
01:53:24.800 --> 01:53:28.840
a fascinating book on the health of
primitive man skin l detec Prescription. The

1346
01:53:28.920 --> 01:53:33.399
paleolithic recipe points to at least twenty- five traditional societies around the world where

1347
01:53:33.520 --> 01:53:39.319
heart disease and cancer, two long- standing ailments associated with aging are almost

1348
01:53:39.439 --> 01:53:45.920
unknown. These societies are our best
testing ground for the hypothesis that normal aging

1349
01:53:46.079 --> 01:53:56.520
actually a series of symptoms born of
abnormal conditioning. Eaton cites cultures native to

1350
01:53:56.600 --> 01:54:00.680
many places Venezuela, the Solomon Islands, Tasmania and the deno a certain African,

1351
01:54:00.039 --> 01:54:05.199
whose members all enjoy low blood pressure
throughout their lives. This is completely

1352
01:54:05.319 --> 01:54:11.239
contrary to the trend of the United
States and Western Europe, where almost everyone

1353
01:54:11.359 --> 01:54:15.039
experiences several points of increase in blood
pressure for every decade accomplished and one in

1354
01:54:15.119 --> 01:54:19.960
two elderly should be treated for hypertension. Deafness is another characteristic of senectud that

1355
01:54:20.039 --> 01:54:26.319
modern societies have long accepted as normal
and inevitable, even deafness may be starting

1356
01:54:26.399 --> 01:54:32.680
here at a younger age. In
a study carried out in genesis on first

1357
01:54:32.880 --> 01:54:36.920
- year university students, it was
discovered that 60 percent already had significant hearing

1358
01:54:38.079 --> 01:54:44.840
loss. Approximately twenty- five million
adult Americans have lost hearing power in a

1359
01:54:44.960 --> 01:54:49.479
proportion that enables them to receive an
incapacity pension. However, certain tribes of

1360
01:54:49.520 --> 01:54:54.279
Bushmen living in Botswana, as well
as mavans in southern Sudan, do not

1361
01:54:54.279 --> 01:55:00.960
show significant loss of hearing as they
age. Similarly, although cholesterol levels tend

1362
01:55:00.079 --> 01:55:05.279
to rise with age. In industrialized
countries, tribes such as Tanzanian Hazes and

1363
01:55:05.359 --> 01:55:13.199
North Mexico' s Tarahumara Indians rarely
exceed a cholesterol reading of 150. This

1364
01:55:13.319 --> 01:55:17.199
level, which is 60 points below
the U S average, powerfully protects these

1365
01:55:17.319 --> 01:55:24.760
peoples against premature heart attacks. Moreover, these low levels persist throughout life,

1366
01:55:25.000 --> 01:55:28.560
while in our culture cholesterol tends to
rise slowly, but firmly as we age

1367
01:55:28.640 --> 01:55:33.800
a wide variety of cultures has managed
to escape one or more of these diseases

1368
01:55:33.920 --> 01:55:41.640
of civilization. Inadequate name, as
there are highly civilized societies that are also

1369
01:55:41.720 --> 01:55:45.000
characterized by good health. Breast cancer
that attacks one in nine Americans is extremely

1370
01:55:45.119 --> 01:55:50.920
rare. In both China and Japan, colon cancer is a serious threat to

1371
01:55:51.000 --> 01:55:58.039
American men. It also has very
little incidence there as in several indigenous African

1372
01:55:58.039 --> 01:56:03.039
tribes. The populations of Japan,
Taiwan or Africa leave their traditional environment to

1373
01:56:03.159 --> 01:56:06.880
move to the United States. Exposure
to civilization and its improved lifestyle is often

1374
01:56:08.000 --> 01:56:15.760
disastrous. Cups of heart attacks,
colon cancer, hypertension, which were a

1375
01:56:15.760 --> 01:56:19.560
fraction of ours, increase dramatically.
The typical thing is that towards the second

1376
01:56:19.960 --> 01:56:25.279
generation there is no advantage. But
this change is due only to diet and

1377
01:56:25.399 --> 01:56:30.560
lifestyle. In support of this explanation, epidemiologists point to Japanese residents in Hawaii,

1378
01:56:30.760 --> 01:56:34.640
a site that is considered an intermediate
cultural point between East and West,

1379
01:56:34.960 --> 01:56:40.319
both in diet and lifestyle and eat
less fat than that consumed in the North

1380
01:56:40.439 --> 01:56:45.479
American continent, but more than is
customary in Japan. Japanese immigrants to Hawaii

1381
01:56:45.520 --> 01:56:48.720
suffer from heart attacks, in a
proportion that also occupies a midpoint between Japan

1382
01:56:48.800 --> 01:56:56.720
and the United States. However,
this long- accepted explanation lost firmness when

1383
01:56:56.760 --> 01:57:00.720
some of the data were examined in
more detail, as noted by psychologist Baber

1384
01:57:00.800 --> 01:57:05.239
Onstieni David Sobo, author and co- author respectively of Hilling Brain' s

1385
01:57:05.279 --> 01:57:10.960
book. The healing brain. If
we look at the entire spectrum of Japanese

1386
01:57:11.039 --> 01:57:15.880
immigrants from California, there was a
subgroup that maintained low proportions of heart disease,

1387
01:57:15.520 --> 01:57:19.880
with no correlation with diet or blood
cholesterol levels. They were men who

1388
01:57:19.920 --> 01:57:26.760
maintained strong ties with Japanese culture,
despite having moved to America. The various

1389
01:57:26.840 --> 01:57:30.000
ways in which his conscience remained Japanese. Living in a Japanese neighborhood, educating

1390
01:57:30.359 --> 01:57:34.760
with other children of the same origin, speaking the native language, and observing

1391
01:57:34.880 --> 01:57:41.359
traditional customs and social ties helped to
produce healthy hearts with high or low blood

1392
01:57:41.399 --> 01:57:46.479
cholesterol. What kept these men healthy
was an invisible but very powerful social bond.

1393
01:57:48.000 --> 01:57:51.960
They continued to share the consciousness of
the traditional Japanese, which is a

1394
01:57:53.039 --> 01:57:58.159
prolonged form of mind that cannot fail
to have physiological effects in the same sense.

1395
01:57:58.279 --> 01:58:00.800
True is your done, especially mechigen
car industry workers fired in difficult times,

1396
01:58:00.960 --> 01:58:06.319
have shown that those who felt strongly
supported by family, relatives and friends

1397
01:58:06.399 --> 01:58:15.159
had less tendency to develop physical or
mental symptoms. Similarly, when a group

1398
01:58:15.199 --> 01:58:17.560
of pregnant women were asked if they
felt supported by their family and friends,

1399
01:58:17.720 --> 01:58:21.479
it was discovered that ninety- one
percent of the serious complications of pregnancy occurred

1400
01:58:21.520 --> 01:58:26.600
among those who claimed to lead a
life full of stress and with little social

1401
01:58:26.720 --> 01:58:32.720
support. Social support is a complex
phenomenon that covers all interactions of language customs,

1402
01:58:33.359 --> 01:58:41.079
family structure and social traditions that bind
people to each other. The net

1403
01:58:41.199 --> 01:58:45.880
result is that consciousness is programmed.
Social binders are produced on the plane of

1404
01:58:45.960 --> 01:58:49.000
the mind. You realize that someone
else is like you and you think she

1405
01:58:49.039 --> 01:58:53.640
sees you the same way. What
you share is a larger being, an

1406
01:58:54.079 --> 01:59:00.319
interwoven psyche, as sensitive and intricate
as an individual psyche. Be written from

1407
01:59:00.640 --> 01:59:03.600
books about the aging process with the
assumption that aging is something that happens to

1408
01:59:03.680 --> 01:59:09.640
you. However, we now see
that this is something that social conditioning taught

1409
01:59:09.760 --> 01:59:15.399
our body. Differentiation is of the
utmost importance. If aging is something that

1410
01:59:15.479 --> 01:59:19.680
happens to you, you' re
basically a victim, but it' s

1411
01:59:20.039 --> 01:59:25.439
something you learned you' re in
a position to unlearn the behavior that'

1412
01:59:25.520 --> 01:59:28.319
s making you grow old, adopt
new beliefs, and let you orient yourself

1413
01:59:28.319 --> 01:59:31.720
to new opportunities. There is an
aphorism that the late numen jas enci made

1414
01:59:31.720 --> 01:59:36.520
famous. Belief creates biology. Nothing
so true was ever said about aging.

1415
01:59:39.239 --> 01:59:43.359
Our inherited expectation that the body will
be spent over time, accompanied by waves

1416
01:59:43.479 --> 01:59:46.880
of beliefs that we are destined to
suffer, age and die creates the biological

1417
01:59:46.920 --> 01:59:54.079
phenomenon we call aging. Life is
consciousness in action. Despite the thousands of

1418
01:59:54.119 --> 01:59:58.960
hours of recording that program our reactions, we continue to live because the consciousness

1419
01:59:59.000 --> 02:00:02.119
there are new ways to fr flee. It is always available The positive side

1420
02:00:02.199 --> 02:00:10.600
of consciousness, its ability to heal, learning not to age the link between

1421
02:00:10.680 --> 02:00:15.960
belief and biology. Although consciousness is
programmed in a thousand different ways, the

1422
02:00:16.039 --> 02:00:20.479
most convincing are what we call beliefs. A belief is something you cling to

1423
02:00:20.560 --> 02:00:27.319
because you consider it true. But
unlike thoughts that actively form words or images

1424
02:00:27.439 --> 02:00:32.800
in your brain, belief is often
silent. A person with claustrophobia does not

1425
02:00:32.880 --> 02:00:38.039
need to think. This room is
too narrow or in this crowd there are

1426
02:00:38.159 --> 02:00:44.640
too many people put in a small
crowded room, your body reacts automatically somewhere

1427
02:00:44.720 --> 02:00:47.840
in your consciousness. There is the
hidden belief that generates all the physical symptoms

1428
02:00:47.920 --> 02:00:51.920
of fear. No need to think. In this the flow of adrenaline that

1429
02:00:53.039 --> 02:00:58.000
causes his heart palpitations, the sweaty
palms, the wheezing breath and the dizziness

1430
02:00:58.039 --> 02:01:03.279
are activated in a deeper plane than
the thinking mind. Jóbics desperately struggle to

1431
02:01:03.399 --> 02:01:08.920
use thought to calm fear, but
it' s no use. The habit

1432
02:01:09.000 --> 02:01:13.039
of fear has sunk so deeply that
the body remembers fulfilling it. Even if

1433
02:01:13.119 --> 02:01:16.960
the mind resists with all its might, the thoughts of a claustrophobic there is

1434
02:01:17.039 --> 02:01:21.359
nothing to fear. Small rooms are
not dangerous if the others are so quiet.

1435
02:01:24.359 --> 02:01:27.760
Why can' t I dominate this. They are rational objections, but

1436
02:01:27.800 --> 02:01:33.000
the body acts following orders that impose
upon thought our beliefs concerning old age have

1437
02:01:33.119 --> 02:01:38.720
that same kind of power over us. Let me give you an example.

1438
02:01:39.640 --> 02:01:43.960
In the last twenty years, gerontologists
have carried out experiments to show that,

1439
02:01:44.279 --> 02:01:47.439
by staying active throughout life, even
at the age of eighty, the loss

1440
02:01:47.880 --> 02:01:54.119
of muscle and skeletal tissue is slowed
down. Among the retirees There was the

1441
02:01:54.199 --> 02:01:59.319
news that they should continue walking,
running, swimming and doing domestic work under

1442
02:02:00.439 --> 02:02:04.800
the emma. What is not used
is lost millions of people now expect to

1443
02:02:04.880 --> 02:02:11.399
stay strong in old age. With
this new belief installed something happened that was

1444
02:02:11.439 --> 02:02:16.960
previously considered impossible. Some daring gerontologists
at the University of Tabs visited a nursing

1445
02:02:17.000 --> 02:02:21.439
home there selected a group of the
most fragile residents and subjected them to a

1446
02:02:21.479 --> 02:02:28.159
diet of weight exercises. It could
have been feared that the sudden introduction of

1447
02:02:28.199 --> 02:02:32.760
exercise would exhaust or kill these fragile
people. On the contrary, they flourished

1448
02:02:32.800 --> 02:02:36.800
eight weeks later. The lost muscles
had returned by three hundred percent, improved

1449
02:02:38.159 --> 02:02:44.279
coordination and balance and regained a general
sense of active life. Some of the

1450
02:02:44.359 --> 02:02:47.840
subjects who no longer walked without help
were able to get up in the middle

1451
02:02:47.960 --> 02:02:51.520
of the night to go alone to
the bathroom, an act of claimed dignity

1452
02:02:51.640 --> 02:02:56.720
that cannot be considered trivial. However, the most wonderful thing about this achievement

1453
02:02:56.840 --> 02:03:00.119
is that the youngest subject in the
group was eighty- seven years old and

1454
02:03:00.199 --> 02:03:05.800
the oldest ninety- six. These
results were always possible. Nothing new was

1455
02:03:05.920 --> 02:03:11.039
added to the capacity of the human
body. All that happened was that a

1456
02:03:11.119 --> 02:03:15.600
belief was changed and as it happened
it changed aging. If you' re

1457
02:03:15.680 --> 02:03:20.039
ninety- six years old, if
you' re afraid to move your body,

1458
02:03:20.199 --> 02:03:21.199
it' ll be consumed to get
into a gym. At that age

1459
02:03:21.279 --> 02:03:25.640
you must believe that it will do
the body good, you must be free

1460
02:03:25.720 --> 02:03:29.840
from fear and believe in yourself.
When I say that aging is the result

1461
02:03:29.960 --> 02:03:32.399
of a belief, he did not
imply that one can turn old age away

1462
02:03:32.479 --> 02:03:36.439
by mere thought. On the contrary, the stronger my belief is, the

1463
02:03:36.800 --> 02:03:40.840
more rooted it will be in the
body and the more immune it will be

1464
02:03:40.840 --> 02:03:45.560
to control. Conscious according to the
belief system that you and I have,

1465
02:03:45.800 --> 02:03:50.000
nature has locked us into bodies that
age against our will. The tradition of

1466
02:03:50.079 --> 02:03:57.399
aging extends backwards, as far as
historical records and even in prehistory. Animals

1467
02:03:57.479 --> 02:04:02.119
and plants age in compliance with a
universal law of nature. It is hard

1468
02:04:02.199 --> 02:04:06.039
to imagine that old age is the
result of learned behavior, because biology cannot

1469
02:04:06.119 --> 02:04:12.239
be denied. However, the basic
belief that aging is a fixed and mechanical

1470
02:04:12.319 --> 02:04:17.000
process something that happens to us is
just a belief as such prevents us from

1471
02:04:17.319 --> 02:04:20.960
seeing all kinds of facts that do
not fit the belief system that we cling

1472
02:04:21.039 --> 02:04:28.199
to. Among the following statements he
believes certain how many correspond to the facts

1473
02:04:29.640 --> 02:04:34.720
to age is natural. All organisms
age and die. You see aging is

1474
02:04:34.720 --> 02:04:40.039
inevitable. You can' t stop
it. Getting older is normal. It

1475
02:04:40.159 --> 02:04:45.000
affects everyone more or less the same
way to age is genetic. I'

1476
02:04:45.119 --> 02:04:49.720
ll probably live as long as my
parents and grandparents. Ageing is painful,

1477
02:04:50.119 --> 02:04:57.119
causing physical and mental suffering. Ef
aging is universal. The law of entropy

1478
02:04:57.239 --> 02:05:01.840
makes all ordered systems wear and tear
and integrate. G aging is fatal.

1479
02:05:02.199 --> 02:05:08.159
We all grow old and die.
If you take for granted one of these

1480
02:05:08.239 --> 02:05:11.880
claims or all of them you are
under the influence of beliefs that do not

1481
02:05:11.960 --> 02:05:15.520
conform to reality. Each statement contains
a little objective truth, but it is

1482
02:05:15.600 --> 02:05:19.760
also possible to refute them. One
at a time. Ageing is natural,

1483
02:05:20.159 --> 02:05:25.600
but there are organisms that never age, such as unicellular amoebas, salts and

1484
02:05:25.720 --> 02:05:30.680
protozoa. There is also a part
of you that does not age your emotions

1485
02:05:30.680 --> 02:05:35.159
you, the type of personality,
the intellectual quotient and other mental characteristics,

1486
02:05:35.680 --> 02:05:42.159
for example, as well as large
portions of your adn Physically, makes no

1487
02:05:42.239 --> 02:05:45.520
sense to say that the water and
minerals of your body age, as it

1488
02:05:45.640 --> 02:05:49.439
is old or sage water. Only
these components make up seventy percent of your

1489
02:05:49.560 --> 02:05:56.960
body. You see aging is inevitable, but the bee at certain times of

1490
02:05:57.119 --> 02:06:00.199
the year can alter its hormones and
completely reverse its age. In the human

1491
02:06:00.279 --> 02:06:05.000
body, hormonal alterations may not be
so dramatic, but there is enough room

1492
02:06:05.119 --> 02:06:10.119
for any day your hormonal profile to
be younger than the previous day, month

1493
02:06:10.119 --> 02:06:15.000
or year. Getting old is normal. However, there is no normal aging

1494
02:06:15.079 --> 02:06:20.760
curve that applies to everyone. Some
people run away entirely from certain age symptoms,

1495
02:06:20.880 --> 02:06:25.359
others, on the other hand,
are affected by them long before they

1496
02:06:25.399 --> 02:06:30.880
reach the old age of aging.
It has a genetic component that affects everyone,

1497
02:06:30.359 --> 02:06:34.239
but not to the degree that is
usually assumed. If the parents have

1498
02:06:34.279 --> 02:06:39.319
become octogenarians, the child' s
life expectancy increases by only three years.

1499
02:06:40.279 --> 02:06:43.880
Less than five percent of the population
has genes so good or so bad that

1500
02:06:43.920 --> 02:06:48.279
they can lengthen or significantly shorten their
lives. By comparison. By adopting a

1501
02:06:48.399 --> 02:06:53.960
healthy lifestyle, you can delay the
symptoms of aging. Up to thirty years.

1502
02:06:56.039 --> 02:07:00.920
Ageing is often painful both physically and
mentally. But this is not the

1503
02:07:00.039 --> 02:07:04.159
result of aging itself, but of
the various diseases afflicting the elderly, many

1504
02:07:04.159 --> 02:07:11.640
of which can be avoided by faith
Aging seems universal, because all the ordered

1505
02:07:11.680 --> 02:07:15.600
systems break down over time, but
our body resists that decline very well.

1506
02:07:16.600 --> 02:07:20.840
Without negative influences from within or from
outside, our organs and tissues could easily

1507
02:07:20.920 --> 02:07:26.319
last between one hundred and fifteen and
one hundred and thirty years before the age

1508
02:07:26.359 --> 02:07:31.359
alone made them stop working that finally
aging is fatal, because we must all

1509
02:07:31.359 --> 02:07:34.560
die. But in the vast majority
of cases, perhaps in ninety- nine

1510
02:07:34.560 --> 02:07:38.640
percent, the cause of death is
not old age, but cancer, heart

1511
02:07:38.960 --> 02:07:46.520
attack, stroke, pneumonia, and
other diseases. It is extremely difficult to

1512
02:07:46.600 --> 02:07:48.880
ensure what it would be like to
observe the aging of the body itself.

1513
02:07:49.840 --> 02:07:55.279
Two cars abandoned in the rain will
rust more or less at a par The

1514
02:07:55.319 --> 02:07:59.520
oxidation process attacks them equally, turning
iron and steel into ferrous oxide. According

1515
02:07:59.560 --> 02:08:03.479
to an easy- to- understand
chemistry law, the aging process does not

1516
02:08:03.600 --> 02:08:09.920
obey such simple laws in some of
us. It is a uniform and slow

1517
02:08:09.279 --> 02:08:15.399
even process, like the turtle that
crawls towards its destination. In others it

1518
02:08:15.479 --> 02:08:18.680
is like approaching an invisible cliff.
There is a long and safe health plateau

1519
02:08:20.039 --> 02:08:24.079
followed by a sharp decline in one
or two years, which will be the

1520
02:08:24.159 --> 02:08:26.880
last of life. Finally, others
will keep most of the body healthy,

1521
02:08:28.279 --> 02:08:31.840
except for a weak link like the
heart, which will fail long before the

1522
02:08:33.000 --> 02:08:37.880
other organs. It would be necessary
to follow a person’ s evolution for

1523
02:08:37.920 --> 02:08:41.119
most of his adult life to find
out how he ages and by then it

1524
02:08:41.119 --> 02:08:46.319
would be too late. The fact
that aging is so personal to the very

1525
02:08:46.399 --> 02:08:50.199
frustrating result for medicine, which is
very difficult to foresee and treat many of

1526
02:08:50.239 --> 02:08:56.439
the main ailments associated with old age. Two young women can eat the same

1527
02:08:56.520 --> 02:09:01.520
amount of calcium and have equally healthy
hormone levels. However, after menopause,

1528
02:09:01.640 --> 02:09:05.800
one will develop an invalidating osteoporosis,
the other will not. Two twin brothers

1529
02:09:05.840 --> 02:09:11.720
with identical genes may have remarkably similar
medical histories throughout their lives, but one

1530
02:09:11.880 --> 02:09:15.600
will become ill with Alzheimer’ s, arthritis, or cancer. Two of

1531
02:09:15.640 --> 02:09:18.520
the most common ailments in old age. High blood pressure and high cohu and

1532
02:09:18.600 --> 02:09:26.760
sterol are equally unpredictable. The aging
body refuses to behave according to the laws

1533
02:09:26.880 --> 02:09:33.119
and rules of mechanics. After decades
of intensive research, there is no proper

1534
02:09:33.159 --> 02:09:37.840
theory about human aging. Even our
attempts to explain how animals age have given

1535
02:09:37.920 --> 02:09:46.359
rise to over 300 different theories,
many of them contradictory. The ideas we

1536
02:09:46.439 --> 02:09:52.720
had about aging have undergone drastic changes
over the past two decades. In the

1537
02:09:52.800 --> 02:09:56.279
early 1970s, doctors began to observe
that the body of some exagenaries and septuagenaries

1538
02:09:56.319 --> 02:10:01.199
still functioned with the vigor and health
of the mature age. They were people

1539
02:10:01.279 --> 02:10:05.840
who ate sensibly and cared for the
physique. Most of them didn' t

1540
02:10:05.840 --> 02:10:11.119
smoke. They had abandoned the habit
after the surgeon general' s first warnings

1541
02:10:11.199 --> 02:10:15.479
about lung cancer. In the early
1960s, they had never suffered heart attacks,

1542
02:10:15.960 --> 02:10:20.960
although they presented some of the accepted
signs of old age high blood pressure

1543
02:10:20.039 --> 02:10:26.199
cholesterol and a tendency to incorporate fat
into the presvicia and not to perceive the

1544
02:10:26.239 --> 02:10:31.199
sounds of high vibrations. These people
didn' t have any elders. What

1545
02:10:31.319 --> 02:10:37.239
was called the new old age was
born. Old age was characterized by irreversible

1546
02:10:37.359 --> 02:10:43.960
declines on all fronts, physical,
mental and social. For countless centuries.

1547
02:10:43.000 --> 02:10:46.680
People assumed that they would reach old
age if they were weak, senile,

1548
02:10:46.960 --> 02:10:54.880
socially useless, sick and poor.
To reinforce these gloomy expectations there had been

1549
02:10:54.880 --> 02:10:58.399
gloomy events. Before the 20th century. Only one out of ten people reached

1550
02:10:58.479 --> 02:11:03.439
the age of sixty- five for
entire centuries. In the past, the

1551
02:11:03.479 --> 02:11:07.680
human body was exposed to the murderous
influence of a harsh environment, inadequate nutrition,

1552
02:11:09.079 --> 02:11:11.760
life- long physical work and untamed
epidemics created conditions that accelerated aging.

1553
02:11:15.800 --> 02:11:18.520
If we look through the stories of
immigrants who arrived in the country at the

1554
02:11:18.760 --> 02:11:22.920
beginning of the century, some of
their photographs will horrify us. Forty-

1555
02:11:22.319 --> 02:11:28.479
year- old women are oblivious and
literally demacrated as if they were seventy misled.

1556
02:11:28.520 --> 02:11:33.680
There are teenage boys who look like
mature men, heavily punished under the

1557
02:11:33.760 --> 02:11:39.000
surgeon' s scalpel. The lungs, kidneys, and livers of these people

1558
02:11:39.079 --> 02:11:41.520
would have been identical to those of
a modern person who doubled them in age.

1559
02:11:43.439 --> 02:11:46.800
Aging is the body' s response
to the conditions imposed on it both

1560
02:11:46.159 --> 02:11:50.600
inside and outside. The sands of
age move under our feet, adapting to

1561
02:11:52.039 --> 02:11:58.239
our way of life and being.
The new old age appeared on the scene

1562
02:11:58.359 --> 02:12:03.359
last half century of improved living conditions
and intense medical advances. The average life

1563
02:12:03.439 --> 02:12:07.199
of the American, who in nineteen
hundred was forty- nine years old,

1564
02:12:07.640 --> 02:12:11.640
jumped in nine hundred ninety- seventy
to seventy- five. To put this

1565
02:12:11.680 --> 02:12:15.439
huge increase in perspective, the years
of life we have gained in less than

1566
02:12:15.520 --> 02:12:18.319
a century are equivalent to the total
length of life that individuals had for more

1567
02:12:18.439 --> 02:12:24.159
than four thousand years. From prehistoric
times to the dawn of the industrial revolution,

1568
02:12:24.439 --> 02:12:28.119
the average life span remained below forty- five years. Only ten percent

1569
02:12:28.199 --> 02:12:35.239
of the general population used to reach
sixty- five. Today, on the

1570
02:12:35.239 --> 02:12:37.880
other hand, 80 per cent of
the population reaches that age at the very

1571
02:12:37.880 --> 02:12:43.920
least. The mystery of aging.
Despite this proof that aging is a fluid

1572
02:12:45.079 --> 02:12:48.199
and changing phenomenon, we are still
operating under the belief that it can be

1573
02:12:48.239 --> 02:12:54.279
strictly considered a biological process. When
you look at your body and repair how

1574
02:12:54.319 --> 02:12:58.880
much it has changed physically since you
were young, aging seems like an obvious

1575
02:12:58.880 --> 02:13:05.199
phenomenon. It' s actually a
long way from it. Twenty years ago,

1576
02:13:05.640 --> 02:13:07.800
in my time as a young intern, I worked in a vast,

1577
02:13:09.279 --> 02:13:13.039
horrible veterans' hospital outside Boston.
On a typical day he examined dozens of

1578
02:13:13.119 --> 02:13:20.239
patients, mostly old soldiers who had
fought in two world wars. The past

1579
02:13:20.359 --> 02:13:26.079
few years had taken too obvious a
tithe. Even with their eyes closed,

1580
02:13:26.560 --> 02:13:31.760
the sound and touch of those bodies
were unmistakable. They were shaking their hands

1581
02:13:31.840 --> 02:13:35.359
when I took their pulse. His
lungs were whistling under the stethoscope. The

1582
02:13:35.439 --> 02:13:39.520
energetic bumbom of young hearts had given
way to weaker and more fragile rhythms.

1583
02:13:41.600 --> 02:13:46.680
I knew that under the thin veil
of that dry, wrinkled skin an invisible

1584
02:13:46.720 --> 02:13:52.319
destruction was carried out. Blood vessels
were hardening. Pressure was rising. Had

1585
02:13:52.399 --> 02:13:56.760
he been able to sink his hand
to touch the three coronary arteries, he

1586
02:13:56.920 --> 02:14:01.119
would almost certainly have found one or
more thickened by the fatty plaques. The

1587
02:14:01.239 --> 02:14:07.520
main artery of the body would be
hard as a lead tube hardened by calcium

1588
02:14:07.640 --> 02:14:11.119
deposits, while the delicate arterioles of
the head would seem so thin that the

1589
02:14:11.159 --> 02:14:16.079
slightest contact would cause them to get
rid of, causing a stroke. Also

1590
02:14:16.119 --> 02:14:20.600
the vertebrae and hip bones would be
becoming thin and brittle ready to fracture.

1591
02:14:22.640 --> 02:14:26.119
If the man slipped on the ladder
all over the body, there would be

1592
02:14:26.520 --> 02:14:31.800
hidden tumors restrained only by the slow
metabolism of the elderly, which mercifully slows

1593
02:14:31.920 --> 02:14:37.399
the spread of cancer. All this
may seem like a tight description, though

1594
02:14:37.760 --> 02:14:41.960
gloomy about the aging process, but
in reality I did not examine the elderly,

1595
02:14:43.439 --> 02:14:46.399
but the sick. Doctors from all
over America made the same mistake.

1596
02:14:48.359 --> 02:14:52.479
Reduced to treat various diseases. We
forgot what aging is like when there is

1597
02:14:52.640 --> 02:14:58.920
no disease. Moreover, the few
medical researchers who were interested in the aging

1598
02:14:58.960 --> 02:15:03.319
process, a hundred, tended to
work in veterans' hospitals, like the

1599
02:15:03.399 --> 02:15:09.159
one where I did my boarding school. By definition. The normal aging they

1600
02:15:09.279 --> 02:15:13.800
observed was abnormal. Normal people aren' t hospitalized. No one would think

1601
02:15:13.840 --> 02:15:18.399
of defining childhood by studying patients in
a children' s hospital. In general,

1602
02:15:18.760 --> 02:15:24.840
however, old age was defined in
this way for the total population,

1603
02:15:24.439 --> 02:15:28.199
only five per cent of persons over
the age of sixty- five, whether

1604
02:15:28.199 --> 02:15:35.279
in hospitals or institutions for the mentally
ill, are hospitalized. It is surprising

1605
02:15:35.439 --> 02:15:39.640
that this figure is not significantly higher
than among the younger age groups. Obviously,

1606
02:15:41.039 --> 02:15:45.680
there are many reasons apart from old
age, for someone to end up

1607
02:15:45.680 --> 02:15:50.840
interning. These places are held by
widows, homeless, alcoholic, mentally incapacitated

1608
02:15:50.840 --> 02:15:56.680
or destitute persons. The doctor can' t spend a day in a typical

1609
02:15:56.760 --> 02:16:01.000
hospital in big city without a patrol
car unloading a few of my helpless miserables

1610
02:16:01.399 --> 02:16:05.760
collected in the street and destined to
become the impersonal statistics that researchers use to

1611
02:16:05.880 --> 02:16:11.720
define old age. Afraid of old
age, he warned platoon more than 2,

1612
02:16:11.000 --> 02:16:15.159
000 years ago, for he did
not come alone, telling the truth.

1613
02:16:16.159 --> 02:16:20.119
What afflicts us most from aging is
not often old age itself, but

1614
02:16:20.199 --> 02:16:26.239
the diseases that accompany it In wildlife. Few animals die simply from getting too

1615
02:16:26.319 --> 02:16:31.239
old. There are other factors,
such as disease, ambimbre, weather exposure

1616
02:16:31.280 --> 02:16:35.479
and wild stalkers, which kill the
majority long before they reach the potential duration

1617
02:16:35.559 --> 02:16:43.159
of life. If you look at
a flock of sparrows in front of your

1618
02:16:43.200 --> 02:16:48.319
window this spring, half of them
will have died of various causes. Therefore,

1619
02:16:48.680 --> 02:16:50.959
in practice it matters little that sparrows
can live for more than ten years

1620
02:16:52.040 --> 02:16:56.440
and are kept safe and sound in
a cage among birds there are long lifetimes.

1621
02:16:58.440 --> 02:17:01.719
Eagles n n n n S or
s NS in living fifty years parrots

1622
02:17:01.879 --> 02:17:05.280
over seventy, which seems strange,
considering how fast their metabolism and the rapid

1623
02:17:05.399 --> 02:17:15.040
rhythm of heart. But in the
process of aging there is very little logic

1624
02:17:15.120 --> 02:17:18.200
in itself. The evolutionary purpose of
aging is unknown to biologists, since nature

1625
02:17:18.520 --> 02:17:22.079
has so many other means to put
an end to an animal' s life.

1626
02:17:24.600 --> 02:17:28.239
For example, mortality is included in
the system of competition for food.

1627
02:17:30.000 --> 02:17:33.680
Some animals must die in order for
others to survive. Otherwise, the survival

1628
02:17:33.959 --> 02:17:39.799
of the fittest would make no sense
between bears and deers. For example,

1629
02:17:39.200 --> 02:17:43.280
during the breeding season. The males
fight for the territory. When the strongest

1630
02:17:43.319 --> 02:17:48.600
gain the right to procreate with the
females, they also gain the best territory,

1631
02:17:48.879 --> 02:17:52.959
lands where food abounds, while the
defeated must conform much poorer consolations,

1632
02:17:52.360 --> 02:17:58.200
where many will go hungry and will
soon die u u o. An animal

1633
02:17:58.239 --> 02:18:03.520
is either lucky enough to survive until
it completes its lifetime. Your body won

1634
02:18:03.639 --> 02:18:07.879
' t be old, it'
ll just be plagued with disease. Cancer,

1635
02:18:07.280 --> 02:18:13.040
heart ailments, hardened arteries, arthritis, and stroke wreak havoc among aged

1636
02:18:13.159 --> 02:18:22.840
beasts. Older lions suffer from coronary
occlusion, old eagles have cataracts. Aging

1637
02:18:22.879 --> 02:18:26.520
is mixed to such an extent with
other factors that it is very difficult to

1638
02:18:26.520 --> 02:18:33.760
separate it. The same confusion occurs
among humans. Although we are proud to

1639
02:18:33.799 --> 02:18:37.920
have escaped the adversities of wildlife,
modern ones rarely die of old age.

1640
02:18:39.360 --> 02:18:43.959
In nineteen hundred and thirty- eight, the British medical publication Dolensed included the

1641
02:18:43.040 --> 02:18:48.840
report of an experienced pathologist who claimed
never to have examined a corpse that had

1642
02:18:48.000 --> 02:18:52.520
succumbed only to age. The most
approximate case was that of a ninety-

1643
02:18:52.719 --> 02:18:56.120
four- year- old man who
had died slowly turning out without a declared

1644
02:18:58.079 --> 02:19:01.879
illness, but the appearances were misleading. The autopsy found that he had suffered

1645
02:19:01.959 --> 02:19:05.399
an undiagnosed case of lobular pneumonia.
One of the most common causes of death

1646
02:19:05.479 --> 02:19:11.079
among the elderly. Even if common
sense likes to think that we age from

1647
02:19:11.159 --> 02:19:16.360
simple wear and tear. No theory
of wear aging has ever resisted close scrutiny.

1648
02:19:18.479 --> 02:19:22.360
The aged body only seems to be
spent as a tractor or a widely

1649
02:19:22.479 --> 02:19:28.360
used washing machine. How that machine
goes the doctor asks any elderly patient as

1650
02:19:28.559 --> 02:19:33.040
if his heart were a clock to
which he was finishing his rope. However,

1651
02:19:33.399 --> 02:19:37.079
unlike machines that run out with excess
use, the human body is able

1652
02:19:37.079 --> 02:19:41.920
to improve. The more you use
it. A well- exercised biceps does

1653
02:19:43.040 --> 02:19:48.159
not deteriorate. Rather it strengthens.
Leg bones increase their mass in proportion to

1654
02:19:48.200 --> 02:19:52.319
the weight they carry, which explains
why austeoporosis is virtually unknown in tribal societies,

1655
02:19:52.079 --> 02:19:58.879
where physical activity is standard throughout life. Moreover, if wear was the

1656
02:20:00.120 --> 02:20:05.399
real cause of aging, it would
be a good strategy to spend your life

1657
02:20:05.399 --> 02:20:13.000
in bed. In fact, prolonged
rest is disastrous for physiology. A hospitalized

1658
02:20:13.040 --> 02:20:16.520
patient who is forced to rest for
a few weeks will suffer as much loss

1659
02:20:16.600 --> 02:20:22.520
of muscle and bone tissue as if
he had aged for a decade. Any

1660
02:20:22.600 --> 02:20:28.000
purely physical theory of aging is necessarily
incomplete. Let' s look at arthritis,

1661
02:20:28.200 --> 02:20:33.079
one of the most common symptoms of
old age in medical school. We

1662
02:20:33.120 --> 02:20:39.399
were taught that common osteoarthritis is a
degenerative disease. This means that their cause

1663
02:20:39.600 --> 02:20:43.319
is simply wear and tear. After
the hard use of all life, the

1664
02:20:43.680 --> 02:20:48.600
cartilage that padded the joints intended to
withstand the greatest weight deteriorates. Thus,

1665
02:20:48.719 --> 02:20:52.760
it is explained that the preferred sites
of arthritis are the knee and hip joints

1666
02:20:52.879 --> 02:20:58.959
that sustain the body’ s load. The soft synovia covering that covers the

1667
02:20:58.120 --> 02:21:03.840
bones in the place where they are
also ends up inflaming or deteriorating, causing

1668
02:21:03.920 --> 02:21:09.479
pain, swellings and the burning sensation
of arthritis. Sometimes the synovial fluid dries

1669
02:21:09.559 --> 02:21:13.639
and the bones scrape each other,
creating holes or beaks. This kind of

1670
02:21:13.719 --> 02:21:22.200
degeneration afflicts humanity since the stone age. Now it is believed that the familiar

1671
02:21:22.280 --> 02:21:26.280
image of the prehistoric man walking with
his shoulders bent is a distortion of the

1672
02:21:26.360 --> 02:21:31.120
true aspect of the healthy caveman.
Apparently, what confused archaeologists was that many

1673
02:21:31.200 --> 02:21:37.680
of the intact skeletons found in the
excavations were deformed by column arthritis. As

1674
02:21:37.760 --> 02:21:41.959
a cause of arthritis. Attrition seems
attractive to common sense, but it does

1675
02:21:43.079 --> 02:21:48.079
not explain a number of things.
There are people who never suffer from arthritis,

1676
02:21:48.520 --> 02:21:52.280
even if they submit their joints to
extreme attention. Other people end up

1677
02:21:52.399 --> 02:21:56.120
arthritic after spending their lives in a
sedentary desk job, not to mention that

1678
02:21:56.239 --> 02:22:01.760
certain favorite sites of the disease,
such as fingers, should never bear any

1679
02:22:01.799 --> 02:22:05.399
weight. New theories about arthritis are
directed towards hormones, genetics, autoimmunity failure,

1680
02:22:05.920 --> 02:22:11.959
diet, and other factors. After
all, no sure cause is known.

1681
02:22:15.280 --> 02:22:18.520
However, another common type of arthritis, rheumatoid, has been related to

1682
02:22:18.600 --> 02:22:26.280
emotional factors. This ailment seems to
prefer women with a strong tendency to repress

1683
02:22:26.319 --> 02:22:30.399
their emotions, who adopt passivity and
depression as a way of coping with stress

1684
02:22:30.479 --> 02:22:35.639
rather than becoming angry or facing serious
emotional issues. The disease worsens during periods

1685
02:22:35.680 --> 02:22:41.360
of tension for unexplained reasons. It
also often disappears, perhaps obeying a deeper

1686
02:22:41.479 --> 02:22:48.840
current of change. The three ages
of man. The complexity of the forces

1687
02:22:48.879 --> 02:22:52.239
operating within an aged body. It
becomes even more obvious when we ask a

1688
02:22:52.319 --> 02:22:58.879
question of apparent simplicity what age you
are before rushing to answer. Note that

1689
02:22:58.920 --> 02:23:05.000
there are three separate ways to measure
an individual' s age. Chronological age,

1690
02:23:05.360 --> 02:23:09.280
the one that has according to the
calendar, the biological age that your

1691
02:23:09.600 --> 02:23:16.399
body has according to the critical vital
signs and cellular processes, the psychological age,

1692
02:23:16.799 --> 02:23:20.360
the one that has as you feel. Only the first of these is

1693
02:23:20.440 --> 02:23:24.239
fixed, but the chronological age is
also the least reliable of all three.

1694
02:23:24.319 --> 02:23:28.440
A 50- year- old can
be almost as healthy as he was when

1695
02:23:28.440 --> 02:23:31.840
he was twenty- five. Another, on the other hand, can already

1696
02:23:31.920 --> 02:23:37.079
have a body of sixty and up
to seventy years to really know how old

1697
02:23:37.159 --> 02:23:39.879
you are is put into play.
The second measure, biological age, tells

1698
02:23:39.120 --> 02:23:43.639
you how time has affected your organs
and tissues, comparing them with other people

1699
02:23:43.680 --> 02:23:48.959
of your same chronological age. However, time does not affect the body evenly.

1700
02:23:50.200 --> 02:23:54.920
Virtually every tissue cell and organ ages
at its own pace, which makes

1701
02:23:56.040 --> 02:24:01.239
the biological age much more complex than
the chronological one. A middle- aged

1702
02:24:01.280 --> 02:24:03.840
marathon runner may have the muscles of
someone' s legs, heart, and

1703
02:24:03.959 --> 02:24:07.959
lungs twice younger, but the knees
and kidneys may have quickly aged due to

1704
02:24:09.000 --> 02:24:13.879
excess stress their eyesight and ears may
be declining along their own syncratic idio pathways.

1705
02:24:16.559 --> 02:24:20.360
Over the years, you return uniquely
to the age of twenty, when

1706
02:24:20.719 --> 02:24:24.959
muscle development, reflexes, sexual impulse
and many other primary functions reach their peak.

1707
02:24:28.360 --> 02:24:31.760
Most of us are similar to the
eyes of physiologists. In youth,

1708
02:24:33.239 --> 02:24:37.440
the heart, brain, kidneys,
and lungs always exhibit a healthy color and

1709
02:24:37.479 --> 02:24:43.479
firmness. They' re in short
supply or not. There is evidence of

1710
02:24:43.600 --> 02:24:48.120
malformed, sick or dying tissues,
but by the age of seventy there are

1711
02:24:50.760 --> 02:24:54.520
not two bodies even remotely similar to
that age. Your body will be different

1712
02:24:54.639 --> 02:24:58.680
from all the bodies in the world. Age changes will reflect the unique character

1713
02:24:58.719 --> 02:25:03.280
of your life. Biological age also
has its limits as a measuring tool.

1714
02:25:05.760 --> 02:25:09.760
The aging process, considered purely biological, progresses so slowly that its fatal effects

1715
02:25:09.799 --> 02:25:18.040
rarely reach those of faster diseases.
Almost all critical organs can function well at

1716
02:25:18.120 --> 02:25:22.760
thirty percent of their maximum capacity.
Therefore, if from the age of thirty

1717
02:25:22.799 --> 02:25:26.479
years the body decreases its function at
the rate of one percent per year,

1718
02:25:26.799 --> 02:25:31.719
it would take seventy years until it
turns a hundred for it to be threatened

1719
02:25:31.879 --> 02:25:37.239
to an organ, especially with imminent
exhaustion. But social and psychological influences are

1720
02:25:37.360 --> 02:25:41.799
always active. The lifestyle subjects us
to various conditions and the differences in our

1721
02:25:41.879 --> 02:25:48.239
way of aging are much earlier.
Two men who have had a brain thrombosis

1722
02:25:48.559 --> 02:25:54.360
at fifty years of age and in
identical medical conditions can and often have very

1723
02:25:54.479 --> 02:25:58.360
different results. One recovers very soon
from the attack responds well to physical therapy

1724
02:25:58.440 --> 02:26:05.399
and easily recovers speech and movement until
returning to normal life. The other can

1725
02:26:05.520 --> 02:26:09.440
respond poorly to treatment, become overwhelmed
by depression, and give up all activity.

1726
02:26:09.719 --> 02:26:13.479
In a short time he can grow
old and die. The determining factor

1727
02:26:13.639 --> 02:26:18.600
is the psychological age, the most
personal and mysterious of the three measurements,

1728
02:26:18.920 --> 02:26:26.120
but the one that offers the most
possibilities to reverse the aging process. Biological

1729
02:26:26.239 --> 02:26:31.000
age is known to vary. Regular
physical exercise, for example, can reverse

1730
02:26:31.079 --> 02:26:33.879
ten of the most typical effects of
biological age, including high blood pressure,

1731
02:26:35.280 --> 02:26:43.680
excess fat, inadequate sugar levels,
and reduced muscle mass. Gerontologists have found

1732
02:26:43.719 --> 02:26:48.760
that when an elder agrees to adopt
a better lifestyle by changing his habits,

1733
02:26:48.000 --> 02:26:54.520
life expectancy increases by an average of
ten years. Therefore, the arrow of

1734
02:26:54.600 --> 02:26:58.079
time can move quickly or slowly,
stop on its path and even turn on

1735
02:26:58.159 --> 02:27:03.600
the net, the body becomes biologically
younger or older, depending on how we

1736
02:27:03.680 --> 02:27:09.319
treat it. However, it is
even more flexible. The elderly, the

1737
02:27:09.600 --> 02:27:15.239
psychological, like the biological age,
the psychological is completely personal. There are

1738
02:27:15.319 --> 02:27:18.600
not two people who are exactly the
same psychological age, because there are not

1739
02:27:18.639 --> 02:27:24.600
two people who share the same experiences. Let us listen to Anna Lntwin'

1740
02:27:24.680 --> 02:27:28.719
s one hundred and one year old
voice, who made a very important observation

1741
02:27:28.760 --> 02:27:33.200
in her childhood that would influence her
way of aging in the following eighty or

1742
02:27:33.200 --> 02:27:37.440
ninety years back in Norway, when
she was little people who reached fifty-

1743
02:27:37.440 --> 02:27:41.079
five. At the age of sixty- five, they sat all the time.

1744
02:27:41.159 --> 02:27:46.399
I never felt so old. That' s being old. Today I

1745
02:27:46.479 --> 02:27:50.920
don' t feel that old the
age you feel has no limits and can

1746
02:27:52.000 --> 02:27:56.719
be reversed in a fraction of a
second. An old woman, remembering her

1747
02:27:56.760 --> 02:28:00.719
first love, suddenly seems to have
been eighteen years old again, a mature

1748
02:28:00.719 --> 02:28:03.799
man, learns that her beloved wife
has died and withers into lonely senectud in

1749
02:28:03.799 --> 02:28:07.840
a matter of weeks. Instead of
giving a fixed figure to answer the question

1750
02:28:07.879 --> 02:28:13.319
how old you are, we need
to find a moving scale that shows how

1751
02:28:13.440 --> 02:28:18.879
quickly our three ages move in relationship. Let' s take two fifty-

1752
02:28:20.840 --> 02:28:24.440
year- olds recently divorced. He
suffers from depression, acute, with a

1753
02:28:24.559 --> 02:28:28.239
history of heart disease and excess weight. Ve is a happy, healthy,

1754
02:28:30.159 --> 02:28:35.680
optimistic married man and is satisfied with
his work. Due to the various factors

1755
02:28:35.760 --> 02:28:39.360
at stake. The true age of
Ayvés is best expressed with a graph in

1756
02:28:39.440 --> 02:28:46.879
three planes. Full diagonal chronological age, B, biological age, psychological age

1757
02:28:48.280 --> 02:28:52.879
bb AH at thirty, thirty-
five, forty, forty- five,

1758
02:28:54.159 --> 02:28:58.600
fifty, fifty- five sixty.
The arrows indicate the direction of aging and

1759
02:28:58.680 --> 02:29:03.280
their reading length indicates the speed with
which the process occurs. Although there b

1760
02:29:03.440 --> 02:29:09.159
are chronologically fifty years old. He
has been under so many negative influences that

1761
02:29:09.239 --> 02:29:13.399
his body has biologically ten years more
and ages quickly. His psychological age is

1762
02:29:13.520 --> 02:29:16.559
more or less the same as that
indicated in the calendar, but also there

1763
02:29:16.639 --> 02:29:22.559
quickly ages the picture is very different
in the case of B, who is

1764
02:29:22.639 --> 02:29:26.760
younger in both the biological and the
psychological scales. His good physical and mental

1765
02:29:26.840 --> 02:29:33.520
health indicates that he slowly ages on
the biological plane and actually rejuvenates psychologically.

1766
02:29:35.360 --> 02:29:37.319
In general, the state of a
is much worse than that of be,

1767
02:29:39.280 --> 02:29:43.440
depending on how severe your depression and
heart disease are. Their composite age could

1768
02:29:43.520 --> 02:29:48.120
be up to sixty years, but
this figure is artificial. He ignores the

1769
02:29:48.200 --> 02:29:50.440
fact that all the factors that age
him are reversible, both with regard to

1770
02:29:50.559 --> 02:29:56.200
his chronological age within ten years could
feel as happy, optimistic and healthy as

1771
02:29:56.319 --> 02:30:01.520
B, in which case he would
decline to his composite age. When gerontologists

1772
02:30:01.600 --> 02:30:07.239
try to predict longevity. They should
take into account the following psychosocial factors in

1773
02:30:07.280 --> 02:30:13.280
order to properly determine whether the aging
process is to accelerate or delay. Negative

1774
02:30:13.360 --> 02:30:22.399
factors that accelerate aging. The asterisk
points to the factors of greatest importance depression,

1775
02:30:22.399 --> 02:30:26.399
the inability to express emotions, to
feel unable to change or change others,

1776
02:30:26.680 --> 02:30:30.319
to live only loneliness, absence of
intimate friends, lack of a regular

1777
02:30:30.440 --> 02:30:33.319
daily routine, lack of a regular
work routine, dissatisfaction with work, having

1778
02:30:33.479 --> 02:30:39.520
to work more than forty hours a
week, financial concerns debts, habitual or

1779
02:30:39.600 --> 02:30:43.159
excessive concerns, lamenting sacrifices made in
the past, irritability, getting angry easily

1780
02:30:43.239 --> 02:30:50.319
or not being able to express the
anger critical of himself and other positive factors

1781
02:30:50.440 --> 02:30:58.600
that delay the aging marriage. Happy
or successful couple relationship and long satisfaction with

1782
02:30:58.680 --> 02:31:03.920
work, feeling of faith personal happiness, ease of laughter sexual life, satisfying,

1783
02:31:05.319 --> 02:31:09.440
ease of making and preserving intimate friends, regular daily routine, regular work

1784
02:31:09.440 --> 02:31:13.319
routine, taking at least one week
of vacation every year, feeling that you

1785
02:31:13.319 --> 02:31:16.600
take the wheel of personal life,
enjoying free time and satisfying hobbies, ease

1786
02:31:16.719 --> 02:31:20.399
of expressing optimism about the future,
feeling secure in the financial, living within

1787
02:31:20.479 --> 02:31:31.079
your means. As you can see, the psychological age is not reduced to

1788
02:31:31.159 --> 02:31:33.079
the phrase given. You' re
as old as you sit and change.

1789
02:31:33.120 --> 02:31:39.719
Psychological age involves interconnected personal and social
factors. Among the important factors there are

1790
02:31:39.799 --> 02:31:43.639
several that we have already touched.
The importance of a regular routine in everyday

1791
02:31:43.719 --> 02:31:50.639
life and at work is highlighted in
almost all studies on longevity. Job satisfaction

1792
02:31:50.719 --> 02:31:54.600
emerges as the most reliable indicator that
the individual is at low risk for heart

1793
02:31:54.680 --> 02:31:58.760
attack. On the other hand,
feeling dissatisfied with the work makes that risk

1794
02:31:58.799 --> 02:32:05.319
extremely high. Living alone is precarious. A happy married life, on the

1795
02:32:05.440 --> 02:32:09.079
other hand, indicates that it will
grow old slowly. The combinations of these

1796
02:32:09.120 --> 02:32:16.239
factors become very complex, reflecting the
complexity of personal life. Gerontologists have reached

1797
02:32:16.319 --> 02:32:22.440
great extremes in trying to quantify some
of these factors with feasible results. For

1798
02:32:22.559 --> 02:32:26.440
example, those who have lived only
four years will have a psychological age,

1799
02:32:26.000 --> 02:32:31.000
something different from those who have lived
only eight years. The relative value assigned

1800
02:32:31.079 --> 02:32:35.600
to regular daily routine has the threefold
importance that a satisfying sex life and optimism

1801
02:32:35.879 --> 02:32:39.319
about the future nullifies point by point, the negative factor of not having a

1802
02:32:39.399 --> 02:32:46.399
hobby or a hobby. But any
attempt to quantify someone' s personal constitution

1803
02:32:46.479 --> 02:32:50.040
inspires certain reservations. Despite the general
accuracy of these factors, they overlook the

1804
02:32:50.159 --> 02:32:54.559
essence of personal life, which is
their ability to change and transform, to

1805
02:32:54.639 --> 02:33:00.600
play many chords both cheerful and sad, to experience sudden reversions and abrupt illuminations,

1806
02:33:01.479 --> 02:33:07.600
when I think of myself my image
is not a fixed collection of attributes

1807
02:33:07.680 --> 02:33:16.639
inside things always change at times drastically. The list cannot quantify intangible qualities,

1808
02:33:18.360 --> 02:33:22.159
such as the ability to provide and
take into account others. In general,

1809
02:33:22.559 --> 02:33:26.799
this is a limitation of modern psychology, which relies too much on impersonal numbers

1810
02:33:26.879 --> 02:33:31.840
and data. However, there is
an unusual study that filled that void quite

1811
02:33:31.920 --> 02:33:39.200
well. Larry Skerwitz, a psychologist
at the University of California, recorded conversations

1812
02:33:39.239 --> 02:33:43.399
of nearly six hundred men, of
whom one third suffered from heart disease,

1813
02:33:43.120 --> 02:33:48.920
the others were healthy. When listening
to the recordings, he counted the number

1814
02:33:50.000 --> 02:33:54.120
of times each one used the words
me and mine Comparing their results to the

1815
02:33:54.200 --> 02:33:58.239
frequency of the disease. Sker Witz
found that those most using first- person

1816
02:33:58.319 --> 02:34:05.239
pronouns were at greater risk of heart
problems in addition. After following the subjects

1817
02:34:05.360 --> 02:34:11.559
for several years, he discovered that
the more men talk about themselves, the

1818
02:34:11.639 --> 02:34:16.600
greater the chance that they will suffer
from thrombosis. Counting the times someone said

1819
02:34:16.680 --> 02:34:22.600
I was an ingenious way of quantifying
egocentrism. For me there is something very

1820
02:34:22.680 --> 02:34:24.600
appropriate in the fact that the heart
suffers the more the less it opens to

1821
02:34:24.719 --> 02:34:30.559
others. According to Skerwitz' s
conclusion, the antidote was to be more

1822
02:34:30.559 --> 02:34:35.000
generous. Listen carefully to others,
give to others your time and your energy.

1823
02:34:35.000 --> 02:34:39.319
Let others get away with their work
with other reasons than satisfying your own

1824
02:34:39.399 --> 02:34:46.079
needs. With those words, it
goes beyond quantifiable data, moving on to

1825
02:34:46.159 --> 02:34:50.079
very attractive themes of love and compassion
to our intuitive feeling that an open and

1826
02:34:50.200 --> 02:34:58.000
affectionate person should age well. So
far, quantified research has shown something very

1827
02:34:58.120 --> 02:35:03.520
valuable. The biological age corresponds to
the psychological age. If you review the

1828
02:35:03.559 --> 02:35:09.120
list of positive psychosocial influences, objective
words such as happy, satisfied, and

1829
02:35:09.239 --> 02:35:13.559
optimistic indicate the absolutely personal character of
these factors. By feeding your inner life,

1830
02:35:13.879 --> 02:35:18.239
you use the power of consciousness to
defeat aging at its very source.

1831
02:35:20.000 --> 02:35:24.559
On the contrary, changes of consciousness
toward apathy, hopelessness and dissatisfaction push the

1832
02:35:24.639 --> 02:35:33.000
body into rapid decline. The value
of adaptability. It is terrifying to observe

1833
02:35:33.040 --> 02:35:37.479
the elder who abandons his desire to
live and it is very difficult to show

1834
02:35:39.440 --> 02:35:41.159
him what he is doing when life
loses its meaning. The energy that sustains

1835
02:35:41.200 --> 02:35:46.719
the body seems to drain silently like
a pile that is spent, but we

1836
02:35:46.799 --> 02:35:50.399
do observe with more attention. We
can show that this exhaustion of vitality,

1837
02:35:50.760 --> 02:35:54.719
curiosity and the desire to live is
controllable. Actually, they have nothing to

1838
02:35:54.840 --> 02:36:01.760
do with normal aging. The body
is capable of replenishing automatically renews its energies

1839
02:36:01.840 --> 02:36:05.840
after periods of exhaustion however severe the
tensions are, once the body has responded

1840
02:36:05.920 --> 02:36:11.959
it returns to a state of equilibrium. This tendency to remain in balance is

1841
02:36:13.040 --> 02:36:16.399
completely necessary for life and turns out
to be a key mechanism of survival.

1842
02:36:18.680 --> 02:36:22.920
In nineteen hundred and fifty- seven
he was Andres Danvar, a professor of

1843
02:36:24.000 --> 02:36:28.559
medicine at Columbia University, reported on
a study of centenary and agile nonagenaries.

1844
02:36:28.680 --> 02:36:33.399
He discovered that the dominant feature among
these people was psychological adaptability to stress.

1845
02:36:35.840 --> 02:36:39.440
This characteristic, more than any other, differentiated them from the general population.

1846
02:36:41.360 --> 02:36:45.559
While everyone has opportunities to feel pain, shock, sadness, and disappointment,

1847
02:36:46.200 --> 02:36:50.719
some recover much better than others.
Damar went on to gather six traits that,

1848
02:36:52.159 --> 02:36:56.559
in his opinion, presented all the
precentenaries who had the most chance to

1849
02:36:56.639 --> 02:37:01.079
fulfill the century of life, one, respond creatively vamentarily to change. This

1850
02:37:01.159 --> 02:37:09.280
feature more than another made the precentenaries
stand out among ordinary people. Two lack

1851
02:37:09.440 --> 02:37:13.559
of nervousness. Nervousness is a great
enemy of our ability to improvise and create,

1852
02:37:13.920 --> 02:37:22.000
three continuous ability to create and invent
four high levels of adaptive energy,

1853
02:37:22.680 --> 02:37:28.959
five ability to integrate new things into
one' s existence, six desire to

1854
02:37:30.040 --> 02:37:35.200
continue living. Like every predictor model, this one has its fault. It

1855
02:37:35.239 --> 02:37:39.360
must be recognized that some people vegetate
and reach the age of one hundred,

1856
02:37:39.719 --> 02:37:45.079
as well as other rigid and uncreative
people or others who care nothing to continue

1857
02:37:45.159 --> 02:37:50.040
living or not. But among the
centennials are much more common the positive qualities,

1858
02:37:50.440 --> 02:37:52.399
as a description of the type of
old age that are most desirable.

1859
02:37:52.719 --> 02:37:58.239
The lady list is extremely useful.
Their precentenaries are special because they reveal that,

1860
02:37:58.760 --> 02:38:01.520
as well as not, they have
a strong or weak immune system.

1861
02:38:01.760 --> 02:38:09.760
So we also vary in our ability
to adapt mentally. Some face themselves with

1862
02:38:09.840 --> 02:38:13.600
elasticity of the journey of life however
hard it may be, rather than with

1863
02:38:13.680 --> 02:38:16.639
brittle rigidity. They are the reeds
that bow to the storm, not the

1864
02:38:16.760 --> 02:38:24.079
oaks that stay stiff and break.
Adaptability can simply be defined as being free

1865
02:38:24.159 --> 02:38:28.959
of conditioned responses. Stay open to
change, accept the new and welcome what

1866
02:38:30.040 --> 02:38:35.559
is unknown. It is a choice
that involves defined personal abilities, as the

1867
02:38:35.920 --> 02:38:39.959
mind abandoned to inertia tends to reinforce
its old habits and increasingly fall prey to

1868
02:38:41.040 --> 02:38:48.440
its adaptiveness questionnaire conditioning. If you
want to know if you have learned the

1869
02:38:48.520 --> 02:38:52.799
skills that make you adaptable, answer
the following questions, assigning you the following

1870
02:38:52.799 --> 02:38:58.799
score. Almost never, Sometimes,
usually almost always Zero a point, two

1871
02:39:00.079 --> 02:39:03.360
points, three, points. One. When I face a problem and have

1872
02:39:03.440 --> 02:39:07.479
no idea how to solve it,
I adopt the attitude that the right solution

1873
02:39:07.559 --> 02:39:13.280
will emerge. Two in my life, things happen in due time. Three

1874
02:39:13.479 --> 02:39:18.319
of us are optimistic about my future. Four when someone rejects me I suffer,

1875
02:39:18.799 --> 02:39:24.000
but I accept that that person had
the right to decide. Five I

1876
02:39:24.079 --> 02:39:28.200
feel the loss of deceased family and
friends, but the pain resolves itself and

1877
02:39:28.319 --> 02:39:31.600
I move on. I' m
not trying to get back what can'

1878
02:39:31.600 --> 02:39:35.440
t be recovered. Six when I
argue with someone, I defend my position,

1879
02:39:35.840 --> 02:39:37.280
but it is also easy for me
to recognize the successes of the other

1880
02:39:37.280 --> 02:39:43.680
side. Seven votes for the man, not the party. Eight I dedicate

1881
02:39:43.719 --> 02:39:48.040
time to worthy causes, even if
they are unpopular. Nine think I'

1882
02:39:48.120 --> 02:39:52.559
m good at listening. I don' t interrupt the others when they talk

1883
02:39:52.559 --> 02:39:56.239
ten. If someone plays something with
a lot of emotion, I hear it

1884
02:39:56.319 --> 02:40:00.959
without expressing my point of view.
Eleven put to the tour between a job

1885
02:40:01.040 --> 02:40:03.719
well paid, but boring and one
I like for half the salary I stay

1886
02:40:05.079 --> 02:40:09.159
with that I like. Twelve my
way of directing other people is to allow

1887
02:40:09.239 --> 02:40:13.040
them to do what they want instead
of trying to master them. I'

1888
02:40:13.200 --> 02:40:16.799
m intruding as little as I can. Thirteen. It' s easy for

1889
02:40:16.920 --> 02:40:20.479
me to trust others. Fourteen I' m not likely to worry. Difficult

1890
02:40:20.600 --> 02:40:28.319
situations affect me less than most.
Fifteen that in a competitive situation I am

1891
02:40:28.399 --> 02:40:31.399
a good loser. I say good
play instead of me was out of shape.

1892
02:40:33.360 --> 02:40:35.440
Sixteen. It' s not so
important to me to always be right.

1893
02:40:37.399 --> 02:40:41.840
Seventeen I feel comfortable playing with young
children I easily enter your world.

1894
02:40:43.159 --> 02:40:48.239
Eighteen I don' t think much
about my moods. Nineteen I can easily

1895
02:40:48.319 --> 02:40:52.840
feel someone else' s feelings.
Twenty I feel comfortable with quiet people,

1896
02:40:54.319 --> 02:41:03.959
nervous people. It doesn' t
make me nervous total score score evaluation Fifty

points or more you' re an
exceptionally adaptable person who has spent a lot

1898
02:41:09.479 --> 02:41:13.680
of time on personal growth. Others
seek your guidance and your advice gives high

1899
02:41:13.760 --> 02:41:18.399
priority to your ability to stay comfortable
under pressure and ready to accept new challenges.

1900
02:41:18.920 --> 02:41:24.399
You' re proud to be able
to resolve conflicts well. Thirty to

1901
02:41:24.479 --> 02:41:28.200
forty points. You adapt reasonably well
to everyday challenges, but the effort you

1902
02:41:28.280 --> 02:41:33.399
have devoted to this aspect is probably
limited. You are such a person that

1903
02:41:33.479 --> 02:41:39.120
others think carefree, but you may
have more worries and regrets that you have

1904
02:41:39.239 --> 02:41:43.000
not faced conflicts worry you and tend
to fall under the influence of people whose

1905
02:41:43.079 --> 02:41:50.719
emotions are stronger than yours twenty to
thirty points. You have definite ideas about

1906
02:41:50.799 --> 02:41:54.200
right and wrong behavior and consider it
a high priority to defend your point of

1907
02:41:54.200 --> 02:41:58.920
view. So far you strive for
personal growth. It hasn' t been

1908
02:42:00.520 --> 02:42:05.559
a priority in your life. He
is often an organized and purpose- oriented

1909
02:42:05.680 --> 02:42:11.920
person. If you are in a
situation of conflict or competition, you certainly

1910
02:42:11.000 --> 02:42:16.239
want to be on the side of
the winners. Less than 20 points.

1911
02:42:16.799 --> 02:42:22.559
You need to work hard with your
sense of self dominated as a child by

1912
02:42:22.639 --> 02:42:26.280
one of your parents or you both
fear rejection and worry or criticize when others

1913
02:42:26.280 --> 02:42:30.440
disagree with you. You have your
way of doing things and you don'

1914
02:42:30.520 --> 02:42:35.360
t like surprises. You are probably
obsessively ordered with many hidden concerns or,

1915
02:42:35.559 --> 02:42:41.239
on the contrary, very disorganized,
prone to strong reactions to external events one

1916
02:42:41.360 --> 02:42:46.959
after another. The purpose of this
test is not to make you feel superior

1917
02:42:46.040 --> 02:42:52.000
or inferior, but to spur conscious
growth. The common denominator of all adaptable

1918
02:42:52.079 --> 02:42:56.479
people is that they strive daily to
keep their consciousness open. Most of this

1919
02:42:56.600 --> 02:43:01.200
book is dedicated to that work.
I do not consider that there is no

1920
02:43:01.200 --> 02:43:05.319
higher purpose in life than trying to
open up consciousness until experiencing reality in all

1921
02:43:05.440 --> 02:43:09.399
its impact, with all its beauty, its truth, its wonder and its

1922
02:43:09.479 --> 02:43:13.479
sacred character. Low consciousness occurs when
life is not lived thoroughly and life is

1923
02:43:13.559 --> 02:43:18.319
not appreciated. This tendency is usually
so subtle that the damage takes months and

1924
02:43:18.440 --> 02:43:22.120
years to be evident, but the
trail of clues is very obvious to anyone

1925
02:43:22.159 --> 02:43:26.440
who wishes to observe. The age
changes that develop in the mind and body

1926
02:43:26.520 --> 02:43:30.159
are the final products of having given
in without thinking to supposed rigid beliefs and

1927
02:43:30.239 --> 02:43:37.000
opinions. Some, for example,
have absorbed the idea that in old age

1928
02:43:37.040 --> 02:43:46.440
they will lose memory often reinforced expectation
by those who believe in old age These

1929
02:43:46.440 --> 02:43:50.239
people, as soon as they turn
fifty- five or sixty, begin to

1930
02:43:50.319 --> 02:43:54.399
worry about any small failure of memory. Even though we all, young or

1931
02:43:54.479 --> 02:44:01.319
old, have occasional failures. Memory
is something or something or on. You

1932
02:44:01.360 --> 02:44:03.799
can' t be forced to remember
anything, but you can be forced to

1933
02:44:03.799 --> 02:44:07.559
forget. One way to do that
is to block a memory with nervousness.

1934
02:44:09.520 --> 02:44:13.639
You remember the last time, in
the middle of an emergency, you had

1935
02:44:13.680 --> 02:44:16.120
to call your house, you ran
to a pay phone. In a state

1936
02:44:16.200 --> 02:44:20.799
of nervousness and as soon as you
lifted up the receiver, thought passed through

1937
02:44:22.200 --> 02:44:24.280
your mind what my number is.
I can' t remember my number.

1938
02:44:26.280 --> 02:44:30.120
This thought doesn' t go away
until you calm down and let the fog

1939
02:44:30.200 --> 02:44:35.479
of anxiety go away. Then memory
can arise spontaneously. Some people are so

1940
02:44:35.559 --> 02:44:39.040
distressed by the prospect of aging that
they can only infiltrate that affliction. In

1941
02:44:39.159 --> 02:44:43.559
all situations where you must remember something, a friend' s name, an

1942
02:44:43.000 --> 02:44:48.159
address, the place where you left
your keys begin to try to control your

1943
02:44:48.239 --> 02:44:52.360
memory. Well, I' m
gonna forget about this with what they don

1944
02:44:52.360 --> 02:44:56.680
' t do, but make things
worse until they get caught up in a

1945
02:44:56.680 --> 02:45:00.000
vicious circle. Convinced as they are
that the senectud n s NS harasses them

1946
02:45:00.040 --> 02:45:03.440
they put the loss of memory by
not allowing the necessary tranquility so that the

1947
02:45:03.600 --> 02:45:09.879
consciousness can act the development of any
trait of character begins early in life and

1948
02:45:09.000 --> 02:45:15.120
begins to exhibit towards the mature age. The best way to ensure adaptability for

1949
02:45:15.200 --> 02:45:18.280
old age is to strive for it
when you are still young. This was

1950
02:45:18.360 --> 02:45:22.840
demonstrated by a classic study that George
Vallient, Hurverd' s psychologist, began

1951
02:45:24.000 --> 02:45:28.000
fifty years ago. He took one
hundred and eighty- five young men to

1952
02:45:28.040 --> 02:45:31.959
Hurverth students during World War II and
controlled their health for nearly forty years.

1953
02:45:33.079 --> 02:45:41.319
Goan found that even if someone seemed
perfectly healthy in his youth, he was

1954
02:45:41.360 --> 02:45:45.680
likely to die prematurely if he reacted
badly to stress, fell into depression,

1955
02:45:45.959 --> 02:45:50.399
or was psychologically unstable. Of the
men who had the best mental health,

1956
02:45:50.719 --> 02:45:54.719
only two contracted chronic illnesses or died
at the age of fifty- three.

1957
02:45:54.799 --> 02:45:58.479
However, of the forty- eight
whose mental health was most deficient or s

1958
02:45:58.520 --> 02:46:03.040
die ons nearly ten times more died
or contracted chronic diseases. Before reaching that

1959
02:46:03.079 --> 02:46:09.079
age, Vayan concluded that early aging, defined as irreversible physical decline, slowed

1960
02:46:09.159 --> 02:46:16.319
with good mental health and accelerated with
poor mental health. The most formative years

1961
02:46:16.399 --> 02:46:22.239
to establish these conditions, he discovered, were those between the ages of twenty

1962
02:46:22.479 --> 02:46:24.760
- one and forty- six,
because that is the period when a person

1963
02:46:24.840 --> 02:46:30.280
usually establishes a sure sense of self, despite the most terrible childhood traumas or

1964
02:46:30.360 --> 02:46:35.120
fail in that attempt once the seed
is planted. Mental health results are physically

1965
02:46:35.200 --> 02:46:41.159
present during the 50s. That last
part of the mature age is the dangerous

1966
02:46:41.319 --> 02:46:45.079
decade we often call the danger zone, because that' s when premature heart

1967
02:46:45.200 --> 02:46:52.239
attacks, uncontrolled hypertension and many types
of cancer appear in large numbers. To

1968
02:46:52.319 --> 02:46:56.879
express it more generally, go discovered
that the aging process is something learned.

1969
02:46:58.639 --> 02:47:03.680
People who have good mental health teach
their bodies to age well. Depressed,

1970
02:47:03.159 --> 02:47:09.559
insecure and unhappy people are taught their
bodies to grow old badly. Although Ivat

1971
02:47:09.639 --> 02:47:13.840
observed that there used to be three
older people in the lives of those who

1972
02:47:13.959 --> 02:47:16.840
contracted chronic diseases and died young.
He had the intelligence to understand that it

1973
02:47:16.959 --> 02:47:20.280
is not stress that makes people sick, but to renounce inner adaptability. In

1974
02:47:20.319 --> 02:47:24.399
the face of stress, the greatest
threat to life and health is not having

1975
02:47:24.479 --> 02:47:30.399
to live. Children display tremendous vitality
and face each day with open arms.

1976
02:47:31.520 --> 02:47:35.840
This is natural in them. If
it remains natural unless you learn habits and

1977
02:47:35.959 --> 02:47:43.840
numbing abilities that stifle curiosity and spontaneous
wonder go. He was among the first

1978
02:47:43.920 --> 02:47:48.879
to establish that depression often leads to
prematur aging, chronic disease and early death.

1979
02:47:50.319 --> 02:47:52.600
In general, at the root of
depression there is a kind of emotional

1980
02:47:52.719 --> 02:47:56.200
numbness. The individual feels that he
has no laughter or joy in himself,

1981
02:47:56.639 --> 02:48:03.520
because these positive emotions are blocked by
the unhappy cnsers inside they stalk the old

1982
02:48:03.879 --> 02:48:07.799
traumas and when they try to sprout
new sensations, they are nitroated by those

1983
02:48:07.799 --> 02:48:11.000
traumas. Not even the most beautiful
of experiences, such as having a baby,

1984
02:48:11.159 --> 02:48:15.719
can survive if it must be filtered
by that pre- existing hopelessness.

1985
02:48:16.760 --> 02:48:20.680
The give to them generates a torrent
of powerful hormones, causing a wave of

1986
02:48:20.760 --> 02:48:26.040
energy throughout the body. When a
woman has healthy memories of her early childhood,

1987
02:48:26.399 --> 02:48:28.879
she experiences this surge of energy as
a strong bond with her child.

1988
02:48:30.239 --> 02:48:33.719
At the same time, the body
renews its energies. After his exhaustion.

1989
02:48:35.520 --> 02:48:39.520
I leave, in a few days
the whole system mind and body has returned

1990
02:48:39.559 --> 02:48:46.239
to express the joy and power of
motherhood. However, in a woman who

1991
02:48:46.319 --> 02:48:50.520
associates early childhood memories with emotional sorrows
and pains, the torrent of new energies

1992
02:48:50.600 --> 02:48:54.600
that occurs during active birth, on
the other hand, the old programming,

1993
02:48:54.920 --> 02:48:58.840
joy and power are transformed into apathy
and fatigue postpartum depression is the result of

1994
02:49:00.840 --> 02:49:07.520
repeated memories that acquire a new validity
in life. Although the vast majority of

1995
02:49:07.559 --> 02:49:13.719
depressions are treated with antidepressant drugs,
that medication does not cure the underlying sadness

1996
02:49:13.120 --> 02:49:18.719
of trauma and numbness, which are
the real cause of evil. When you

1997
02:49:18.799 --> 02:49:22.520
retire to the drug, depression blooms
again. Although it takes more time,

1998
02:49:22.879 --> 02:49:28.559
more value, and more psychological penetration, it is more effective to treat depression

1999
02:49:28.639 --> 02:49:33.639
through psychotherapy. Divan' s classic
psychiatry is often despised, but a lasting

2000
02:49:33.680 --> 02:49:39.920
cure is sometimes achieved by advising the
depressed patient, discovering the inner pain and

2001
02:49:39.959 --> 02:49:46.159
releasing him, which no drug can
do. This implies that the premature aging

2002
02:49:46.479 --> 02:49:50.840
that Bayán so closely linked to depression
and mental instability. It would also be

2003
02:49:50.920 --> 02:49:56.840
treatable in a similar way. Indeed, all of us are learning and not

2004
02:49:56.879 --> 02:50:01.879
learning to grow old, only that
we have not yet seen the opening of

2005
02:50:01.959 --> 02:50:07.159
consciousness in that way. While writing
this part of the book, my family

2006
02:50:07.200 --> 02:50:09.680
received a visit from my wife'
s uncle, who traveled from New Dei.

2007
02:50:11.600 --> 02:50:13.239
We want a lot. I learn, as it would be called,

2008
02:50:13.440 --> 02:50:18.440
in India, at seventy- five
years old, retired from his work in

2009
02:50:18.520 --> 02:50:24.000
a company climbs up and down the
stairs, jumping with much more agility than

2010
02:50:24.000 --> 02:50:26.959
I did. In his youth he
was a tennis star and still plays every

2011
02:50:28.040 --> 02:50:33.559
day of simple pleasures and satisfied with
his luck. Contemplate life with serenity and

2012
02:50:33.639 --> 02:50:39.040
joy. Envious. I put aside
my consulting books to ask him what he

2013
02:50:39.079 --> 02:50:45.319
was doing to stay so young.
Here' s what Prentio answered me well.

2014
02:50:45.639 --> 02:50:50.079
You know, I never get to
the extremes. That' s how

2015
02:50:50.079 --> 02:50:54.319
I was born. I never took
the habit of eating too much. This

2016
02:50:54.399 --> 02:50:58.120
morning I served a banana and cereal, and that' s all I want

2017
02:50:58.159 --> 02:51:01.280
at night as sand and I don' t drink, but a little cognac

2018
02:51:01.360 --> 02:51:07.440
from time to time. Second,
I sleep very well. That' s

2019
02:51:07.479 --> 02:51:09.600
because of my diet, because if
sine in abundance my sleep is altered.

2020
02:51:11.559 --> 02:51:16.120
Third, I don' t deal
with trivialities. I' m leaving that

2021
02:51:16.239 --> 02:51:20.639
for my wife, Rio You know, I remember birthdays and social engagements.

2022
02:51:20.719 --> 02:51:26.559
Fourth, I play tennis that I
love. Prentio is living proof of the

2023
02:51:26.639 --> 02:51:30.799
effectiveness of his method, but the
important thing is that he doesn' t

2024
02:51:30.879 --> 02:51:33.479
actually have a method. His way
of aging is only the result of being

2025
02:51:33.520 --> 02:51:39.559
like another person with completely different habits, but with the same easy acceptance of

2026
02:51:39.639 --> 02:51:46.959
himself would age. Likewise, in
our society we collect hundreds of external indications

2027
02:51:46.040 --> 02:51:50.159
about how to live, but experience
teaches us over and over again that it

2028
02:51:50.200 --> 02:51:56.520
is internal indications that we must obey. Prentio did not elaborate his lifestyle according

2029
02:51:56.680 --> 02:52:01.360
to an outside authority, He developed
his own way of living moderately, sanely

2030
02:52:01.440 --> 02:52:09.000
and healthy. Almost all those who
grow old successfully do the same. They

2031
02:52:09.040 --> 02:52:13.399
keep on instincting for what' s
right for them. The fact that effective

2032
02:52:13.479 --> 02:52:18.840
survival is so individual. It'
s not a casual factor. It is

2033
02:52:18.920 --> 02:52:22.600
one of the most important. In
a society where we are automatically trained to

2034
02:52:22.680 --> 02:52:28.040
seek the advice of experts as an
external authority, where internal indications of the

2035
02:52:28.120 --> 02:52:31.799
body are drowned with a torrent of
external directives, the isolated individual who defeats

2036
02:52:31.879 --> 02:52:37.479
the system is a rarity. Social
scientists have dedicated themselves to evaluating these people

2037
02:52:37.559 --> 02:52:43.159
and the results reveal striking similarities.
In nineteen hundred and seventy- three,

2038
02:52:43.680 --> 02:52:46.760
at a major gerontology conference held at
Duke University, three studies were presented describing

2039
02:52:46.760 --> 02:52:50.719
the type of person who can reach
a healthy old age of eighty- five

2040
02:52:50.760 --> 02:52:56.879
to one hundred years. These people
account for less than five per cent of

2041
02:52:56.879 --> 02:53:01.399
the current population. In his research
of psychologists carried out at the University of

2042
02:53:01.719 --> 02:53:07.000
Checkrge Bonis Nogarren, he focused on
life satisfaction, which contains five factors the

2043
02:53:07.079 --> 02:53:15.840
person. One finds pleasure in daily
activities, two considers that his life makes

2044
02:53:16.040 --> 02:53:22.639
sense, three believes that he has
achieved his main objectives, four has a

2045
02:53:22.760 --> 02:53:30.520
positive image of himself and is considered
valuable. Five is optimistic. From his

2046
02:53:30.559 --> 02:53:35.200
research in Hurvelh, psychologist George Vallien
took a similar perspective as we have seen,

2047
02:53:35.639 --> 02:53:39.319
that of mental health. He believes
that the longest- lived individuals are

2048
02:53:39.399 --> 02:53:46.280
also the best adapted in their psychological
life, a state characterized by one having

2049
02:53:46.399 --> 02:53:52.559
a stable family life, two considering
their marriage to be satisfactory. Three rarely

2050
02:53:52.680 --> 02:54:01.840
live alone four continue progressing in their
careers, not having incapacitating mental illnesses,

2051
02:54:01.760 --> 02:54:11.399
six, not being alcoholics, seven
having fewer chronic illnesses. The third perspective

2052
02:54:11.559 --> 02:54:16.639
was that of Ereckp Feffer, a
psychiatrist at Jeuke, who for many years

2053
02:54:16.680 --> 02:54:20.799
was director of a long- term
study of American elders. Coinciding with the

2054
02:54:20.879 --> 02:54:26.639
two previous works, Feffel noted that
full use of physical and mental capacity was

2055
02:54:26.719 --> 02:54:30.840
the best way to age well.
People who successfully age, he discovered,

2056
02:54:31.520 --> 02:54:35.360
are the ones who do not give
up training throughout adult life in three main

2057
02:54:35.399 --> 02:54:41.440
areas, physical activity, psychological and
intellectual activity, and social relationships. If

2058
02:54:41.600 --> 02:54:46.600
we translate all these findings into larger
terms, a profile emerges of people who

2059
02:54:46.639 --> 02:54:50.920
age well in the psychological plane and, therefore, in the biological one.

2060
02:54:52.760 --> 02:54:56.159
Ageing is something that happens in the
mind. Therefore, it has unique variations

2061
02:54:56.239 --> 02:55:01.280
in humans. After twenty years,
any dog is an old dog after three,

2062
02:55:01.639 --> 02:55:07.319
any mouse is an old mouse.
After a hundred, any blue whale

2063
02:55:07.399 --> 02:55:11.360
is a very old blue whale.
In all these beasts, biological age is

2064
02:55:11.479 --> 02:55:16.680
the only figure that counts. However, everyone knows someone who is young,

2065
02:55:16.079 --> 02:55:18.719
at the age of eighty, and
others who look old at the age of

2066
02:55:18.799 --> 02:55:24.399
twenty- five. Sir Frans Speken, the great Renaissance, had a caustic

2067
02:55:24.520 --> 02:55:31.000
opinion of the elderly who have too
many objections deliberate too long, venture too

2068
02:55:31.159 --> 02:55:35.719
little and repent too soon. That' s the kind of old age everyone

2069
02:55:35.799 --> 02:55:39.600
wants to avoid. Fortunately, there
is nothing in our physical constitution that imposes

2070
02:55:39.680 --> 02:55:45.000
it on us. If you don' t want to grow old, you

2071
02:55:45.000 --> 02:55:48.680
can decide not to. Belinda,
a patient of mine who has turned eighty,

2072
02:55:50.040 --> 02:55:54.040
is the product of long winters of
neuhempho and crops. On rocky floors.

2073
02:55:54.120 --> 02:55:58.360
He raised compadres who had no time
to grow old and who led an

2074
02:55:58.440 --> 02:56:03.559
active life while still being octogenarian.
They taught their daughter to value inner qualities,

2075
02:56:03.639 --> 02:56:05.600
such as self- confidence and others, faith, honesty, and dedication

2076
02:56:07.000 --> 02:56:13.079
to the family. Belinda has escaped
many miseries typical of old age. He

2077
02:56:13.200 --> 02:56:16.680
doesn' t take drugs for high
blood pressure, like fifty percent of the

2078
02:56:16.680 --> 02:56:20.040
elderly. Many who do not take
them should do so, because since the

2079
02:56:20.120 --> 02:56:24.520
dioretics have been improved, the pressure
medications wake up upset and are often avoided.

2080
02:56:26.000 --> 02:56:30.479
He has not had the slightest cerebral
or cardiac thrombosis and has no signs

2081
02:56:30.559 --> 02:56:35.040
of diabetes. I don' t
think any of this is due to chance.

2082
02:56:37.799 --> 02:56:39.760
Today is the youth of your old
age. What you are doing today

2083
02:56:39.840 --> 02:56:45.360
affects a result that will be presented
in thirty or forty years. Belinda'

2084
02:56:45.440 --> 02:56:48.840
s good health is a direct result
of her lifestyle at a time when the

2085
02:56:48.920 --> 02:56:54.280
first wrinkle had not yet appeared.
This is medically confirmed by the evidence that

2086
02:56:54.319 --> 02:56:58.600
diseases of old age, such as
hypertension, heart ailments and arteriosclerosis, arise

2087
02:56:58.639 --> 02:57:03.639
from microscopic alterations of our tissues that
begin as early as ten years, when

2088
02:57:03.760 --> 02:57:09.200
not earlier. Why do you think
you' ve aged? I also once

2089
02:57:09.280 --> 02:57:15.360
asked Belinda. I didn' t
get into trouble, he kept me awake,

2090
02:57:15.600 --> 02:57:18.959
and I worked hard every day of
my life. Many elders have a

2091
02:57:18.040 --> 02:57:22.319
secret of longevity. Belinda' s
faith in hard work is something that many

2092
02:57:22.440 --> 02:57:26.319
share, but in truth, almost
all of those secrets are reduced to invisible

2093
02:57:26.440 --> 02:57:31.840
traits in the person' s consciousness. Some individuals are nourished on the most

2094
02:57:31.959 --> 02:57:37.440
basic level of their consciousness, others
not in purely physical terms. Belinda'

2095
02:57:37.559 --> 02:57:43.399
s life, dedicated to heavy agricultural
work under the sun and rain bearing New

2096
02:57:43.440 --> 02:57:48.440
England' s incredulous climate, could
easily have aged her earlier. Hard work

2097
02:57:48.559 --> 02:57:54.399
wears off some people, while others
make them flourish. The difference lies in

2098
02:57:54.440 --> 02:58:01.680
complex psychological and social factors to which
the body constantly responds. We need to

2099
02:58:01.760 --> 02:58:05.239
study these aspects in more depth so
that the three ages of chronological, biological

2100
02:58:05.319 --> 02:58:11.840
and psychological man form a coherent picture. Consciousness as a field effect, as

2101
02:58:13.280 --> 02:58:18.680
much of our internal programming, It
is unconscious to overlook the fact that the

2102
02:58:18.719 --> 02:58:22.959
most powerful influence we can exert on
our aging comes simply from our consciousness to

2103
02:58:24.040 --> 02:58:30.840
gain control over the aging process.
First we must be aware of it and

2104
02:58:30.920 --> 02:58:33.879
there are not two people who share
the same consciousness. What is outside our

2105
02:58:33.959 --> 02:58:39.920
consciousness cannot be controlled. Obviously,
and since aging is such a slow process,

2106
02:58:39.159 --> 02:58:43.000
it remains out of the consciousness of
the majority, except in those isolated

2107
02:58:43.120 --> 02:58:46.920
moments of capture in which we understand
that we miss youth, something shakes our

2108
02:58:48.000 --> 02:58:52.479
consciousness to tell us that we no
longer have as much vigor and sexual appeal

2109
02:58:52.559 --> 02:58:58.200
as in other times. However,
these distressing moments are not aging. It

2110
02:58:58.239 --> 02:59:03.040
is during the lack of consciousness,
when we see nothing happen, when physiological

2111
02:59:03.120 --> 02:59:09.799
processes escape our control. Not being
aware of a bodily process does not mean

2112
02:59:09.879 --> 02:59:15.520
that it has ceased. Your conscious
uptake is matched by unconscious uptake. The

2113
02:59:15.600 --> 02:59:20.120
ability of the brain to monitor functions
that the human nervous system does not think

2114
02:59:20.200 --> 02:59:24.319
of is designed in such a way
that critical functions, such as breathing and

2115
02:59:24.399 --> 02:59:31.120
heart rhythm, can function alone or
be managed voluntarily. I' ve already

2116
02:59:31.200 --> 02:59:33.840
mentioned it' s my branch the
Indian adecto, which demonstrated such a remarkable

2117
02:59:33.920 --> 02:59:39.000
domain of bodily functions that they thought
they were totally automatic. In one case,

2118
02:59:39.040 --> 02:59:41.840
it raised the surface temperature on one
side of the hand while the other

2119
02:59:41.959 --> 02:59:46.879
side cooled. The variation was two
degrees Celsius per minute, until one side

2120
02:59:48.000 --> 02:59:52.520
of the hand was hot red and
the other grey cold. The total temperature

2121
02:59:52.600 --> 02:59:58.239
difference was approximately five and a half
degrees. What a power it was that

2122
02:59:58.319 --> 03:00:03.440
was displayed there. Spiritual tradition.
India has a branch of esoteric practice called

2123
03:00:03.559 --> 03:00:09.040
Tandra, which teaches complex exercises to
master involuntary reactions. Tibetan Buddhism contains similar

2124
03:00:09.079 --> 03:00:15.159
teachings. Young monks must demonstrate their
control of the body by sitting in a

2125
03:00:15.280 --> 03:00:18.159
frozen lake to melt the ice around
in the heat they generate in a state

2126
03:00:18.239 --> 03:00:24.920
of intense meditation. Native Americans,
Uphies, and all Shaman cultures around the

2127
03:00:24.000 --> 03:00:31.440
world contain similar practices. However,
however esoteric these exercises become. The power

2128
03:00:31.520 --> 03:00:35.280
they summon is not mystical. It' s the same power of consciousness that

2129
03:00:35.319 --> 03:00:39.920
you use when you decide to volunteer
breathing, blinking, balance, or any

2130
03:00:39.000 --> 03:00:45.360
other autonomous function. This change occurs
in your consciousness without you having to think

2131
03:00:45.440 --> 03:00:50.200
about it. Therefore, we overlook
the implicit power that it expresses. In

2132
03:00:50.280 --> 03:00:54.799
fact, as soon as you pay
attention to any function, a transformation occurs.

2133
03:00:54.760 --> 03:00:58.719
For example, if someone puts in
your hand a weight of two kilos

2134
03:00:58.799 --> 03:01:01.559
and lifts it n times for you
your arm will not increase its muscle strength

2135
03:01:01.680 --> 03:01:07.159
at all. On the other hand, if you voluntarily perform the same act,

2136
03:01:07.399 --> 03:01:11.040
the ex- motor cut of your
brain sends very different signals. Not

2137
03:01:11.120 --> 03:01:16.280
only your biceps, but also the
heart and tissues of the lungs will receive

2138
03:01:16.319 --> 03:01:20.399
an increased stimulus, as well as
the specific areas of your brain that control

2139
03:01:20.440 --> 03:01:26.120
motor coordination. Passive movements of your
arm are analogous to unconscious and involuntary behavior.

2140
03:01:26.959 --> 03:01:31.440
The second form of activity involves the
intricate process called learning, which is

2141
03:01:31.520 --> 03:01:39.319
at the root of growth, the
opposite of aging. So, every time

2142
03:01:39.360 --> 03:01:43.159
you exercise the BICEPS, you'
re teaching him to be stronger. Brain,

2143
03:01:43.639 --> 03:01:48.360
lungs, heart, endocrine glands and
even the immune system adapt to a

2144
03:01:48.520 --> 03:01:54.200
new mode of functioning. The other
way around. If you move the body

2145
03:01:54.280 --> 03:01:58.920
without consciousness, passivity takes the place
of learning. Biceps, heart, lung

2146
03:02:00.639 --> 03:02:05.319
glands, endocline and immune system end
up losing function instead of winning it.

2147
03:02:05.719 --> 03:02:11.200
When you begin to exercise control over
any bodily process, the effect is sacred.

2148
03:02:11.159 --> 03:02:16.399
The body mind system reacts to any
stimulus as to a global event,

2149
03:02:16.760 --> 03:02:20.319
that is, to stimulate a cell, is to stimulate them all. There

2150
03:02:20.360 --> 03:02:24.600
is a parallel in quantum terms,
since a reaction at any point in time

2151
03:02:24.719 --> 03:02:30.200
space, including past, present and
future, causes a change in the entire

2152
03:02:30.280 --> 03:02:35.920
quantum field, as expressed by a
Nobel laureate. If you tickle the country

2153
03:02:35.000 --> 03:02:39.680
around here, laugh over there.
It is now judged crucial to understand aging,

2154
03:02:39.799 --> 03:02:46.079
the fact that consciousness behaves as a
field on a wider scale. Walter

2155
03:02:46.159 --> 03:02:52.280
Emeboritz, experienced doctor at Steantford,
who specializes in aging. It has coined

2156
03:02:52.319 --> 03:02:54.959
the term disuse syndrome to describe how
lack of attention to the basic needs of

2157
03:02:56.000 --> 03:03:00.799
the body, especially the need for
physical activity, can destroy health and lead

2158
03:03:01.239 --> 03:03:07.959
to rapid premature aging. According to
a well- known principle of physiology,

2159
03:03:09.319 --> 03:03:11.680
any part of the body that falls
into disuse will begin to atrophy and wither.

2160
03:03:13.120 --> 03:03:16.879
Gritz took another step, discovering that
this effect extended to the whole body

2161
03:03:16.959 --> 03:03:22.879
and beyond the cardiovascular system. When
a person decides to abandon physical activity,

2162
03:03:24.200 --> 03:03:28.920
he is essentially inviting all of his
physiology to atrophy. As a result,

2163
03:03:28.600 --> 03:03:33.840
a constellation of problems appears, an
artery heart and other parts of the cardiovascular

2164
03:03:33.959 --> 03:03:39.040
system become more vulnerable. Two,
the skeleton and muscles become more fragile.

2165
03:03:41.120 --> 03:03:45.159
Three, obesity becomes high risk,
four is installed depression and five signs of

2166
03:03:45.479 --> 03:03:48.639
premature aging indicate that the body is
biologically older than indicated by the calendar.

2167
03:03:52.399 --> 03:03:56.360
These are the five components of Boritz' s disuse syndrome that can be seen

2168
03:03:56.440 --> 03:04:01.360
today in countless elderly people. The
physical rivers on this list are not surprising,

2169
03:04:01.639 --> 03:04:05.319
but it seems odd that being inactive
alone can lead to depression for a

2170
03:04:05.319 --> 03:04:13.200
long time, considered a personality disorder
or mood. However, studies of the

2171
03:04:13.280 --> 03:04:18.159
Russian space programme have shown that young
astronauts subjected to forced inactivity of space flight

2172
03:04:18.280 --> 03:04:22.159
are prey to depression. When imposed
on them a regular exercise schedule, depression

2173
03:04:22.280 --> 03:04:28.000
is avoided. The cerebral mechanism that
controls depression seems to be related to a

2174
03:04:28.040 --> 03:04:35.280
type of neurochemicals called catecholamines. In
depressed patients whose catecholamine levels are abnormally low,

2175
03:04:35.120 --> 03:04:41.319
healthy levels can be restored through the
supply of antidepressant drugs, but the

2176
03:04:41.399 --> 03:04:46.280
natural way to achieve this is through
regular exercise. Exercise, being sacred,

2177
03:04:46.639 --> 03:04:52.879
sends chemical messages between the brain and
the various muscle groups. Part of this

2178
03:04:52.920 --> 03:04:58.520
flow of biochemical information stimulates the production
of catecholamines. Therefore, every time a

2179
03:04:58.559 --> 03:05:03.479
doctor prescribes an n and depressive.
According to Boritz, he is offering a

2180
03:05:03.559 --> 03:05:07.479
substitute for what the body prescribes internally
and provides exercise. The news that exercise

2181
03:05:07.600 --> 03:05:13.079
counteracts aging has been widespread, but
its preventive effects of depression may not be

2182
03:05:13.159 --> 03:05:18.360
so well known. The most fascinating
thing, however, is that the underlying

2183
03:05:18.440 --> 03:05:22.399
logic that the function precedes the structure
can be extended to say that consciousness precedes

2184
03:05:22.479 --> 03:05:26.959
the function. In other words,
parts of the body that age loss of

2185
03:05:28.000 --> 03:05:31.879
structure are not just those that are
not used enough loss of function. The

2186
03:05:31.959 --> 03:05:37.680
individual has also withdrawn his conscience from
it. The man who learned to age

2187
03:05:39.159 --> 03:05:43.680
let me show how a personal pattern
is formed that defines a person’ s

2188
03:05:43.799 --> 03:05:48.399
aging according to the biological and learned
components. I have a sixty- seven

2189
03:05:48.719 --> 03:05:52.040
- year- old patient named Peory, who retired as a real estate broker.

2190
03:05:52.479 --> 03:05:54.559
His wife began to worry when she
noticed that it wasn' t the

2191
03:05:54.559 --> 03:05:58.920
usual one. When he brought him
in for a test. Herry was apathetic

2192
03:05:58.920 --> 03:06:05.280
and indifferent to questions. His wife
commented that when he came home late after

2193
03:06:05.280 --> 03:06:07.639
shopping or visiting a friend, he
used to be absent with television and barely

2194
03:06:07.719 --> 03:06:15.000
realized that she had come in.
When I asked Piery how she felt,

2195
03:06:15.399 --> 03:06:18.760
her response was evasive. I'
m just getting old. Nothing more.

2196
03:06:18.879 --> 03:06:22.239
He said there' s nothing wrong
with me that he couldn' t be

2197
03:06:22.239 --> 03:06:24.760
cured when he was 20 years younger. But the truth is that the 20

2198
03:06:26.280 --> 03:06:31.280
- year- old Perry already cultivated
the seed of habits and beliefs that would

2199
03:06:31.360 --> 03:06:33.959
make him what he is today.
Like many of his generation, what has

2200
03:06:33.959 --> 03:06:37.760
lived longer than his parents, who
spent their lives working hard at the Boston

2201
03:06:37.799 --> 03:06:46.120
shoe factories. Probably seeing them grow
old deeply marks the expectations he has for

2202
03:06:46.200 --> 03:06:50.319
himself of his father. They kept
it in the closet when they were sixty

2203
03:06:50.680 --> 03:06:54.319
- five. Then she withdrew to
a rocker to read the newspapers, little

2204
03:06:54.399 --> 03:06:58.319
interested in creating a new life,
gained weight and began to drink more than

2205
03:06:58.399 --> 03:07:03.079
before. Three years after receiving his
gold watch, he suffered a heart attack.

2206
03:07:05.120 --> 03:07:09.559
The doctors advised him to give up
any activity, resigning him to a

2207
03:07:09.680 --> 03:07:13.680
life of disability. However, in
the course of a year he suffered a

2208
03:07:13.760 --> 03:07:18.319
second coronary thrombosis, this time fatal. Kry' s mother, on the

2209
03:07:18.399 --> 03:07:24.639
other hand, remained active all her
life, like so many other working women,

2210
03:07:24.040 --> 03:07:28.680
in addition to serving in an accounting
job, caring for her family and

2211
03:07:28.760 --> 03:07:33.959
caring for cooking, cleaning and clothing. Many things can be said about that

2212
03:07:33.079 --> 03:07:37.399
kind of life, but it kept
her in a much better physical state than

2213
03:07:37.479 --> 03:07:39.840
he did of her husband. He
had no heart problems or arterial depression.

2214
03:07:41.120 --> 03:07:43.719
Luckily, I didn' t smoke
a habit I thought was inappropriate for ladies.

2215
03:07:45.760 --> 03:07:48.799
However, after the death of her
husband, she fell into apathy and

2216
03:07:48.879 --> 03:07:54.239
loneliness. Their existence seemed to have
lost its meaning if no one to care

2217
03:07:54.319 --> 03:07:56.600
for and not wanting to be a
burden to their children, lived semi-

2218
03:07:56.600 --> 03:08:03.920
recruited. He finally died after a
series of brain thrombosis. Today' s

2219
03:08:03.000 --> 03:08:09.319
vision of aging had been programmed by
these two life stories. Although he probably

2220
03:08:09.440 --> 03:08:13.079
had no awareness of following his father’ s footsteps, he seemed to be

2221
03:08:13.159 --> 03:08:16.920
on the threshold of repeating how to
age them. By adopting his beliefs without

2222
03:08:16.000 --> 03:08:22.000
knowing it, by losing contact with
his own consciousness, he had lost control

2223
03:08:22.040 --> 03:08:26.319
of the aging process. As my
medical specialty is endocrinology, Qur and his

2224
03:08:26.360 --> 03:08:31.799
wife came to consult me in case
it was a thyroid problem. Disorders that

2225
03:08:31.879 --> 03:08:35.959
can mimic aging include thyroid deficiency and
potiroidism, which causes abnormal decrease in metabolism.

2226
03:08:39.440 --> 03:08:43.120
His victims become slow and clumsy,
his hair dyes gray and his skin

2227
03:08:43.159 --> 03:08:48.239
wrinkles. This imitation of natural aging
disappears once the normal levels of thyroxine are

2228
03:08:48.319 --> 03:08:54.959
provided the hormone, which is missing, however, that today had adequate thyroid

2229
03:08:54.079 --> 03:09:01.680
levels, which left the burden of
explanation to other influences. When someone seems

2230
03:09:01.760 --> 03:09:07.159
to be getting older so badly that
signs of zenectud, weakness, and disability

2231
03:09:07.479 --> 03:09:11.200
are present, it is important to
investigate their lifestyle. In a person'

2232
03:09:11.280 --> 03:09:15.559
s daily routine, problems arise that
are too often ignored, especially when they

2233
03:09:15.639 --> 03:09:18.559
are things of age. It is
estimated that between thirty and fifty percent of

2234
03:09:18.680 --> 03:09:22.879
cases of senility result from the following
treatable factors malnutrition, drug side effects,

2235
03:09:26.000 --> 03:09:35.440
smoking, alcohol abuse, pressure dehydration, inactivity. All these factors begin in

2236
03:09:35.479 --> 03:09:41.719
consciousness and arise already from neglect,
already from habit. Just her in combination.

2237
03:09:41.000 --> 03:09:45.760
Any of them can dramatically affect a
person' s appearance and way of

2238
03:09:45.920 --> 03:09:50.000
acting. In the old age of
the pary parents in general, little attention

2239
03:09:50.040 --> 03:09:54.639
had been paid to the destructiveness of
these factors. The elders forgot to eat

2240
03:09:54.719 --> 03:09:58.719
well, they neglected the liquids,
they took advantage of tobacco and drink to

2241
03:09:58.719 --> 03:10:03.920
calm the loneliness and spent the day
sitting quietly, because that was being old.

2242
03:10:05.000 --> 03:10:09.280
In the past, doctors used to
simultaneously prescribe pressure medications, sleepers,

2243
03:10:09.479 --> 03:10:15.200
and tranquilizers to the elderly, knowing
very well that most of them mixed these

2244
03:10:15.520 --> 03:10:20.200
drugs with alcohol or took them in
doses without bides. Doctors allowed and even

2245
03:10:20.239 --> 03:10:24.239
recommended smoking. Recently, a man
told me that when I was a child,

2246
03:10:24.600 --> 03:10:28.079
his grandmother consulted the family doctor for
a non- oidal congestion and he

2247
03:10:28.159 --> 03:10:33.559
advised her to smoke menthol cigarettes,
following his doctor' s instructions responsibly.

2248
03:10:35.040 --> 03:10:37.799
She smoked her first cigarette at age
60 and kept the addiction until her death.

2249
03:10:39.520 --> 03:10:43.000
Fifteen years later. Giving advice on
food did not fall within the sphere

2250
03:10:43.079 --> 03:10:48.760
of action of doctors. The elderly
had to be severely dehydrated or malnourished,

2251
03:10:48.159 --> 03:10:54.959
sometimes even into a coma to seek
professional intervention. Even today, when we

2252
03:10:54.000 --> 03:11:01.120
know that the lack of essential vitamins
can create symptoms of senility, especially the

2253
03:11:01.200 --> 03:11:09.360
lack of vitamin B twelve Many elderly
people are not given this information. Let

2254
03:11:09.440 --> 03:11:11.479
us now look at Kerry' s
state, taking into account the above list.

2255
03:11:13.440 --> 03:11:16.680
As his wife had told me that
he spent most of the day sitting

2256
03:11:16.760 --> 03:11:20.639
in the house, the physical inactivity
was already given to my questions. What

2257
03:11:20.680 --> 03:11:26.680
he revealed today was that he drank
more since he was retired and that he

2258
03:11:26.559 --> 03:11:30.200
often started early when he was working. It was a rule never to have

2259
03:11:30.319 --> 03:11:31.639
a drink before five o' clock
in the afternoon. But, as I

2260
03:11:31.760 --> 03:11:37.760
said melancholy, my self- discipline
went to hell. I think that'

2261
03:11:37.840 --> 03:11:43.440
s what happens. Because he was
slightly hypertensive, he was taking a pressure

2262
03:11:43.440 --> 03:11:46.440
medicine, he didn' t know
exactly what it turned out to be a

2263
03:11:46.520 --> 03:11:50.799
vein that had not changed the dose
in two years. I' m trying

2264
03:11:50.840 --> 03:11:54.239
not to take the pills. If
I don' t get the pressure up,

2265
03:11:54.799 --> 03:11:56.680
he confessed I asked him how he
knew when he was getting the pressure.

2266
03:11:56.639 --> 03:12:01.440
Well, when I feel tense or
when my importuna wife responded. Actually,

2267
03:12:01.840 --> 03:12:05.440
hypertension doesn' t match the nervous
tension. Despite his name, he

2268
03:12:05.799 --> 03:12:09.440
doesn' t have clear symptoms either. By the way, and in order

2269
03:12:09.520 --> 03:12:15.360
for the medication to be effective,
it is necessary to take it every day

2270
03:12:15.399 --> 03:12:18.760
especially when it comes to vetablo that
before they require a period for the body

2271
03:12:18.760 --> 03:12:24.120
to adjust to them. Among the
preventable problems of ageing, a large number

2272
03:12:24.200 --> 03:12:28.440
are due to the indiscriminate use of
prescription drugs. Unless you are aware of

2273
03:12:28.520 --> 03:12:31.760
this danger, mixing medicines becomes a
habit that many accentuate as they age.

2274
03:12:33.920 --> 03:12:37.639
Among the drugs most commonly used by
the elderly are omegas and dioretic drugs,

2275
03:12:37.719 --> 03:12:43.879
widely prescribed for high blood pressure.
Sedatives are also very common, along with

2276
03:12:43.959 --> 03:12:48.799
aspirin and other painkillers taken for arthritis. In addition to abusing these drugs,

2277
03:12:48.879 --> 03:12:54.600
too often taking them, it often
happens that the elderly do not regularly control

2278
03:12:54.719 --> 03:12:58.120
the dose by a doctor Many tend
to forget to stop medication and to know

2279
03:12:58.159 --> 03:13:03.280
what disorder each drug is not serving. In the United States, there are

2280
03:13:03.360 --> 03:13:07.120
many elderly people who drink and the
combination of drugs and alcohol is almost always

2281
03:13:07.120 --> 03:13:11.200
dangerous. Therefore, a person'
s medication should be thoroughly reviewed in the

2282
03:13:11.319 --> 03:13:18.000
face of the first physical or mental
symptom of abuse or misuse. In the

2283
03:13:18.079 --> 03:13:20.719
case of Hebey, I also suspected
that there was a high level of depression.

2284
03:13:20.799 --> 03:13:24.280
Hidden. Someone who spends the day
watching TV and does not pay attention

2285
03:13:24.360 --> 03:13:30.159
to his wife when she gets in
well may be mild or clinically depressed.

2286
03:13:31.200 --> 03:13:35.600
The typical image of the old man
sitting in a quiet corner that we once

2287
03:13:35.600 --> 03:13:41.840
accepted as normal, was probably due
to depression to becoming silent or withdrawn apathetic,

2288
03:13:43.040 --> 03:13:46.840
anxious and childishly helpless are common signs
of that state. Chronic fatigue is

2289
03:13:46.959 --> 03:13:52.280
often a physical consequence of depression.
In fifty percent of cases, certain severe

2290
03:13:52.280 --> 03:13:56.760
depressions called involutive depressions specifically affect older
people for reasons that are still unknown.

2291
03:14:00.920 --> 03:14:05.600
However, many cases of depression can
be directly linked to social and personal problems.

2292
03:14:07.440 --> 03:14:11.239
A person who feels useless, discarded, not loved or upset for his

2293
03:14:11.319 --> 03:14:16.239
family can only fall into depression.
In these cases, the ultimate solution is

2294
03:14:16.360 --> 03:14:22.520
not medicine, but personal change.
Alan Manger, a psychologist at Heverd,

2295
03:14:22.879 --> 03:14:28.399
has shown that internees in geriatric institutes
improve considerably by introducing simple alterations in their

2296
03:14:28.479 --> 03:14:31.799
existence, giving them a pot with
a plant to attend to. They are

2297
03:14:31.879 --> 03:14:37.559
allowed to decide their own menus and
clean their rooms. Instead of being passive,

2298
03:14:37.079 --> 03:14:41.559
lonely and dependent people who play the
role of old asylum- seekers.

2299
03:14:41.920 --> 03:14:48.280
These people recover the sense of usefulness
and worth in the case of PERY the

2300
03:14:48.600 --> 03:14:52.840
last hidden factor could be dehydration,
which begins to affect the judgment before the

2301
03:14:52.959 --> 03:14:58.079
person detects any problems. He doesn' t drink enough water every day.

2302
03:14:58.200 --> 03:15:00.280
It is one of the most common
evils in the wheel of old age.

2303
03:15:00.479 --> 03:15:03.680
Although very little has been reported,
chronic dehydration is an important cause of preventable

2304
03:15:03.719 --> 03:15:11.120
aging. Some authorities count dehydration among
the main causes of death among the elderly.

2305
03:15:13.200 --> 03:15:16.239
It is, by the way,
an avoidable complication that leads to many

2306
03:15:16.239 --> 03:15:20.879
problems. When the fluids of the
body fall below a certain level, physiology

2307
03:15:20.920 --> 03:15:26.000
begins to enter a toxic state,
the vital electrolyte balance is lost and,

2308
03:15:26.799 --> 03:15:31.040
over time, also that of brain
chemistry. This can result in a horde

2309
03:15:31.159 --> 03:15:35.680
of difficulties, from deterioration of the
kidneys to heart attack, through fainting dizziness,

2310
03:15:35.920 --> 03:15:43.159
lethargy, and declared senile dementia.
When a person loses the ability to

2311
03:15:43.200 --> 03:15:46.360
care and begins to forget to drink
water, a vicious circle is established.

2312
03:15:48.360 --> 03:15:52.319
The same can be said of almost
all the causes of false senility. The

2313
03:15:52.399 --> 03:15:56.319
longer they go unheeded, the more
difficult it becomes for the person to see

2314
03:15:56.360 --> 03:16:01.000
the problem, but even though he
thinks he is not interresnara, his wife

2315
03:16:01.120 --> 03:16:05.079
was worried and promised to remind him
of those things. Some would be easier

2316
03:16:05.159 --> 03:16:09.959
than others. Like she was in
charge of cooking. She could take more

2317
03:16:09.040 --> 03:16:13.200
care of her husband' s diet. Adding a multiple vitamin pill does not

2318
03:16:13.319 --> 03:16:16.520
hurt and sometimes helps. He would
see to it that he drank more water

2319
03:16:16.600 --> 03:16:22.760
and took his medicines properly. That
additional attention could also help to cheer him

2320
03:16:22.840 --> 03:16:26.280
up. But I was most concerned
about alcohol and depression. My way of

2321
03:16:26.360 --> 03:16:31.680
seeing what I was walking on the
looserope today. The image I had of

2322
03:16:31.799 --> 03:16:35.000
whether it was summed up in two
disturbing words, I' m old.

2323
03:16:35.959 --> 03:16:39.440
It would cost to imagine a more
invalid phrase, more apt to lead someone

2324
03:16:39.520 --> 03:16:46.639
to the flight of alcohol or the
dead end of depression. Aging as a

2325
03:16:46.719 --> 03:16:52.760
whole is a vicious circle. When
someone considers it natural to live withdrawn,

2326
03:16:52.040 --> 03:16:56.399
isolated and useless after a certain age, he creates the very conditions that justify

2327
03:16:56.399 --> 03:17:01.799
his beliefs. Our deepest assumptions are
those that trigger physical changes. Therefore,

2328
03:17:03.079 --> 03:17:07.360
it would be naive to think that
aging can be avoided with a simple list

2329
03:17:07.399 --> 03:17:11.920
of avoidable causes. What good it
is to say to a man like Kry

2330
03:17:11.959 --> 03:17:16.520
to quit drinking if he feels desperate
the very fact of aging is a swamp

2331
03:17:16.559 --> 03:17:20.959
of hidden feelings that most find it
too difficult to cope with. In any

2332
03:17:20.079 --> 03:17:26.360
case, drinking is a merciful anesthetic
compared to living in fear and hopelessness.

2333
03:17:28.440 --> 03:17:33.719
It is much easier to follow internal
programming than to make way for new territories,

2334
03:17:35.239 --> 03:17:39.040
but over time our hidden programming leaves
us with no elections and it becomes

2335
03:17:39.200 --> 03:17:43.879
more difficult to break the bonds of
self- destructive behavior. In this respect,

2336
03:17:43.280 --> 03:17:48.440
aging seems a lot like an addiction. The individual believes that the situation

2337
03:17:48.520 --> 03:17:52.440
is dominated, when in reality the
conduct dominates him from the outside. That

2338
03:17:52.600 --> 03:17:56.079
' s what I saw in Heary. He was turning before my eyes into

2339
03:17:56.159 --> 03:18:00.280
a dying man and the tragic thing
was that he didn' t realize what

2340
03:18:00.360 --> 03:18:05.200
was being done. Conscience, when
conditioned, assumes the form of habit.

2341
03:18:05.040 --> 03:18:09.360
Unconscious repetition reinforces destructive patterns and unless
new learning occurs, inertia will lead the

2342
03:18:09.440 --> 03:18:20.479
body downhill year after year to the
consciousness and reversal of aging. The luminous

2343
03:18:20.600 --> 03:18:24.600
aspect in Bey' s case was
that almost everything that happened to him could

2344
03:18:24.680 --> 03:18:28.520
be corrected by creating a new mode
of consciousness. To achieve this, we

2345
03:18:28.559 --> 03:18:33.120
take advantage of the fact that consciousness
always generates biological information. The slightest change

2346
03:18:33.239 --> 03:18:39.600
of consciousness is enough for energy and
information to form new patterns. If old

2347
03:18:39.760 --> 03:18:41.959
habits are so destructive, it is
because new patterns are not allowed to emerge

2348
03:18:43.000 --> 03:18:50.120
into existence. Therefore, conditioned consciousness
is synonymous with slow death. On the

2349
03:18:50.239 --> 03:18:54.159
contrary, by increasing someone' s
awareness by taking them to a new focus

2350
03:18:54.239 --> 03:18:58.360
and drawing them away from ancient schemes, aging can be altered. The psychologist

2351
03:18:58.399 --> 03:19:03.319
of a n Ne and her colleagues
from Hurverd offered a brilliant demonstration of this

2352
03:19:03.440 --> 03:19:07.479
in nineteen hundred and seventy- nine, effectively reversing the biological age of a

2353
03:19:07.520 --> 03:19:11.520
group of elders through a change of
consciousness that was achieved by a simple and

2354
03:19:11.600 --> 03:19:16.239
ingenious method. The subjects, all
over seventy- five years of age and

2355
03:19:16.319 --> 03:19:20.159
in good health, were to meet
for a one- week retreat at a

2356
03:19:20.239 --> 03:19:24.840
country site. They were informed in
advance that he would be subjected to a

2357
03:19:24.879 --> 03:19:28.040
series of physical and mental examinations,
but they were also given an unusual stipulation.

2358
03:19:28.799 --> 03:19:33.399
They were not allowed to carry newspapers, magazines, books or subsequent family

2359
03:19:33.399 --> 03:19:39.799
photos. At one thousand nine hundred
and fifty- nine, the purpose of

2360
03:19:39.879 --> 03:19:43.879
this strange requirement was seen when they
arrived the place had been prepared to reproduce

2361
03:19:43.040 --> 03:19:48.000
life as it was twenty years earlier. At the reading tables there were not

2362
03:19:48.079 --> 03:19:52.000
publications of one thousand nine hundred and
seventy- nine, but numbers of liphe

2363
03:19:52.079 --> 03:19:54.040
and of the tsar of idneig Post
dating from one thousand nine hundred and fifty

2364
03:19:54.040 --> 03:20:00.920
- nine. The only music broadcast
was 20 years ago. In accordance with

2365
03:20:01.079 --> 03:20:03.360
this retreat, men were asked to
behave in everything as if they were in

2366
03:20:03.479 --> 03:20:09.479
a thousand nine hundred and fifty-
nine. Every conversation should refer to events

2367
03:20:09.520 --> 03:20:13.360
and people of that year. All
the details of that country week were prepared

2368
03:20:13.440 --> 03:20:18.280
for each subject to feel, look, talk and behave as if he were

2369
03:20:18.440 --> 03:20:24.559
about fifty- five years old.
During this period, the Angel team carried

2370
03:20:24.600 --> 03:20:28.840
out extensive measurements of the biological age
of the subjects. Gerontologists have not been

2371
03:20:28.920 --> 03:20:33.280
able to determine the exact markers that
define biological age, as I said before,

2372
03:20:33.639 --> 03:20:37.360
but a general profile of each man
was compiled, using measurements of physical

2373
03:20:37.399 --> 03:20:43.399
strength, posture, perception, cognition
and short- term memory, along with

2374
03:20:43.440 --> 03:20:48.479
thresholds of hearing, sight and taste. Huever' s team wanted to change

2375
03:20:48.559 --> 03:20:52.479
the context in which these men saw
themselves. The premise of the experiment was

2376
03:20:52.600 --> 03:20:58.719
that looking old or young directly influences
the aging process itself to change the context.

2377
03:20:58.559 --> 03:21:03.040
To me, nine hundred and fifty- nine, the experimenters had the

2378
03:21:03.120 --> 03:21:09.920
subjects use identification photos taken twenty years
earlier. The group learned to identify each

2379
03:21:09.000 --> 03:21:13.399
member through those photos, before,
by the current appearance, they were instructed

2380
03:21:13.479 --> 03:21:16.559
to speak exclusively at the present time
of one thousand nine hundred and fifty-

2381
03:21:16.840 --> 03:21:20.360
nine. It seems to you that
President Izenover will be running with Nixon in

2382
03:21:20.440 --> 03:21:24.040
the next election. They referred to
the wife and children as if they were

2383
03:21:24.159 --> 03:21:30.360
also twenty years younger, although they
were all retired. They talked about their

2384
03:21:30.440 --> 03:21:35.520
careers as if they were still in
full activity. The results of this representation

2385
03:21:35.600 --> 03:21:39.760
were remarkable compared to a control group
that made the retreat, but continued to

2386
03:21:39.799 --> 03:21:43.040
live. In the world of nineteen
hundred and seventy- nine, the fantasy

2387
03:21:43.040 --> 03:21:48.520
group improved in memory and manual dexterity. Its members were more active and self

2388
03:21:48.760 --> 03:21:52.879
- sufficient in such things as serving
themselves when eating and cleaning their rooms.

2389
03:21:52.719 --> 03:21:56.239
His behavior was much closer to that
of fifty- five years than that of

2390
03:21:56.319 --> 03:22:01.159
seventy- five. Many had come
to rely on younger lyar fames for everyday

2391
03:22:01.239 --> 03:22:07.479
tasks. The most notable change may
have been related to aspects of ageing that

2392
03:22:07.559 --> 03:22:13.799
were considered irreversible. Impartial judges were
asked to study the photos of these men

2393
03:22:13.879 --> 03:22:18.760
before and after the experiment. Those
judges detected in the faces. A visible

2394
03:22:18.840 --> 03:22:22.319
rejuvenation of three years as a means
of measuring the fingers of the hand,

2395
03:22:22.680 --> 03:22:26.920
which tend to shorten over time,
indicated that the fingers had lengthened. The

2396
03:22:26.959 --> 03:22:33.000
stiff joints gained flexibility and the posture
began to rise. As in younger years.

2397
03:22:33.559 --> 03:22:37.280
It improved muscle strength measured by handshake, as well as hearing and sight.

2398
03:22:39.319 --> 03:22:43.079
The control group also showed some improvements. Langer explained it by the fact

2399
03:22:43.120 --> 03:22:46.479
that traveling and being treated in a
special way made them feel younger, but

2400
03:22:46.520 --> 03:22:52.840
it had worsened in markers such as
manual skill and finger length. Although intelligence

2401
03:22:52.920 --> 03:22:58.799
c considers fixed in adults, more
than half of those in the experimental group

2402
03:22:58.799 --> 03:23:05.120
showed an increase in intelligence in the
five days of that return to a thousand

2403
03:23:05.200 --> 03:23:09.680
nine hundred and fifty- nine,
while a quarter of the control group declined

2404
03:23:09.719 --> 03:23:15.559
in the scores of the intellectual co- efficiency test. Professor Langer' s

2405
03:23:15.639 --> 03:23:20.639
study marked a milestone in demonstrating that
certain supposedly irreversible signs of aging can be

2406
03:23:20.760 --> 03:23:28.120
reversed using psychological intervention. She attributed
her success to three factors. One asked

2407
03:23:28.200 --> 03:23:31.879
men to behave as if they were
younger. Twelve treated them as having the

2408
03:23:31.920 --> 03:23:35.680
intelligence and independence of younger people,
unlike the way they used to be treated

2409
03:23:35.760 --> 03:23:41.719
at home. For example, they
were asked for opinions with respect and three

2410
03:23:41.799 --> 03:23:46.000
were paid attention to them. He
asked them to obey complex instructions in the

2411
03:23:46.079 --> 03:23:50.760
daily routine. As all three factors
overlapped, Anger was unable to determine with

2412
03:23:50.879 --> 03:23:54.639
certainty which of them was the most
important. He speculated that a similar reversal

2413
03:23:54.799 --> 03:24:00.399
of aging could have been achieved by
assigning to men any complex task, such

2414
03:24:00.479 --> 03:24:03.159
as the task of composing an opera, a mission that Verdi imposed when he

2415
03:24:03.280 --> 03:24:09.680
was about eighty years old. I
have been meditating on the results of the

2416
03:24:09.760 --> 03:24:11.680
teacher to the Angel for several years
since I first took care of them.

2417
03:24:11.760 --> 03:24:16.399
When writing about personal time. The
old paradigm tells us that time is objective,

2418
03:24:16.920 --> 03:24:20.520
but in reality, our body responds
to subjective time, as recorded in

2419
03:24:20.559 --> 03:24:28.639
memories and inner sensations. Anger turned
these men into travelers of the inner time.

2420
03:24:28.879 --> 03:24:31.479
They went back twenty years on the
psychological plane and the body followed him.

2421
03:24:33.399 --> 03:24:35.639
The simplest explanation I can give is
that two aspects of consciousness, attention

2422
03:24:35.680 --> 03:24:43.120
and intention were changed. Consciousness always
has these two components. The focus is

2423
03:24:43.200 --> 03:24:50.600
on a local perception. The intention
causes a change in that location. In

2424
03:24:50.680 --> 03:24:54.760
the Angel experiment, the attention of
the subjects was sharply focused in the year

2425
03:24:54.840 --> 03:24:58.719
of nineteen hundred and fifty- nine. This started a new flow of biological

2426
03:24:58.840 --> 03:25:05.799
information, because everything they saw and
listened to all of their conversational topics had

2427
03:25:05.879 --> 03:25:11.440
to be related to that specific location. At the same time, they should

2428
03:25:11.600 --> 03:25:13.879
act with an intention to try to
be as they were twenty years earlier.

2429
03:25:15.959 --> 03:25:20.600
None of these factors are magical.
We all pay attention to various things during

2430
03:25:20.639 --> 03:25:24.879
the day. We all carry out
various desires and intentions. Magic lies in

2431
03:25:26.000 --> 03:25:28.000
the way the body follows this change
of consciousness through the barrier of time.

2432
03:25:31.040 --> 03:25:33.520
It is neither feasible nor realistic to
try to live in the past, but

2433
03:25:33.600 --> 03:25:37.360
here there are valuable clues that can
be followed. One more time. We

2434
03:25:37.399 --> 03:25:41.239
see that the quality of life we
lead depends on the quality of care.

2435
03:25:41.680 --> 03:25:46.280
What you pay attention to will become
important in your life. There is no

2436
03:25:46.360 --> 03:25:52.079
limit to the changes that consciousness can
bring about in our society. We do

2437
03:25:52.200 --> 03:25:54.680
not use the flow of attention to
produce results. We have no idea of

2438
03:25:54.760 --> 03:25:58.440
the energy and information that are beginning
to be generated within us. Each time

2439
03:25:58.479 --> 03:26:03.879
we experience a change of consciousness in
the following exercises, we will explore how

2440
03:26:03.959 --> 03:26:07.920
to consciously invoke the power of consciousness
to use it for our own benefit,

2441
03:26:09.120 --> 03:26:13.040
for if we do not knowingly use
it, our consciousness will be trapped in

2442
03:26:13.159 --> 03:26:20.159
the old conditioning that creates the aging
process. In practice use the power of

2443
03:26:20.239 --> 03:26:26.879
consciousness. The following exercises have been
designed to demonstrate that you can consciously direct

2444
03:26:26.920 --> 03:26:31.440
the flow of energy and information from
your body. There are great benefits to

2445
03:26:31.559 --> 03:26:37.719
getting once you start deliberately using your
consciousness. You can take advantage of more

2446
03:26:37.799 --> 03:26:41.639
useful levels of information in the form
of body keys that you ignore. Your

2447
03:26:41.719 --> 03:26:43.600
body will tell you what it needs
and when it needs it. This is

2448
03:26:43.680 --> 03:26:48.520
the opposite of letting oneself be carried
away by the habit that is never exactly

2449
03:26:48.559 --> 03:26:52.159
suited to the true needs of the
body. You can enter your attention into

2450
03:26:52.200 --> 03:26:58.440
parts of the body that express discomfort
at the simple location of your consciousness in

2451
03:26:58.520 --> 03:27:01.360
a source of pain. You can
get healing started, because the body naturally

2452
03:27:01.399 --> 03:27:07.680
sends healing energy. Wherever you focus, you can activate desires and intentions to

2453
03:27:07.719 --> 03:27:13.680
satisfy them more efficiently. An intention
is basically a disguised need and the body

2454
03:27:13.760 --> 03:27:20.920
mind system is prepared to directly and
spontaneously satisfy all needs. This is very

2455
03:27:20.000 --> 03:27:24.799
different from the addictive or compulsive desires
that our old programming has included in us.

2456
03:27:26.959 --> 03:27:31.639
When these three areas operate properly,
conditioning begins to dissolve in our deepest

2457
03:27:31.719 --> 03:27:37.920
cellular planes. This is necessary to
prevent the body from aging. There are

2458
03:27:39.000 --> 03:27:43.760
numerous spiritual teachings related to the power
of consciousness. The techniques of North American

2459
03:27:43.840 --> 03:27:48.200
native shamans may differ markedly from those
used by Tibetan monks or Hindu yogis,

2460
03:27:48.399 --> 03:27:52.879
but in general, consciousness is used
as a healing power. When allowed to

2461
03:27:52.959 --> 03:27:58.639
flow freely. It restores balance by
bringing awareness into contact with the smooth patterns

2462
03:27:58.680 --> 03:28:03.239
and mons pous of the old conditioning. These patterns begin to melt, because

2463
03:28:03.239 --> 03:28:09.840
ultimately everything we perceive or think is
simply an aspect of our consciousness. The

2464
03:28:09.959 --> 03:28:16.280
discomfort that the body manifests as pain, numbness, spasm, inflexibility and trauma

2465
03:28:16.440 --> 03:28:20.680
are all of them, not two
that consciousness can unleash by itself. Through

2466
03:28:20.719 --> 03:28:26.840
practice and dedication. You can cure
any imbalance of the body mind system through

2467
03:28:26.840 --> 03:28:31.639
consciousness. Once you learn the right
techniques of reclamation, release and psychological penetration,

2468
03:28:31.360 --> 03:28:39.040
what follows are some initial procedures to
locate attention and fulfill intentions. In

2469
03:28:39.079 --> 03:28:45.079
later sections we will move towards deeper
and more powerful techniques but even at this

2470
03:28:45.479 --> 03:28:48.920
stage, the linkages that are forged
between mind and body are extremely useful.

2471
03:28:48.000 --> 03:28:54.520
To turn away from the old paths
that create aging exercise, one pays attention

2472
03:28:54.639 --> 03:29:00.559
to your body, although we all
know how to pay attention to something that

2473
03:29:00.680 --> 03:29:05.319
is outside of oneself, just as
we all feel diverting our attention to a

2474
03:29:05.319 --> 03:29:09.079
condition of the body, such as
a toothache or muscle spasm. There are

2475
03:29:09.159 --> 03:29:13.120
many subtle keys that escape us in
everyday life. The consciousness has many planes

2476
03:29:13.239 --> 03:29:16.639
and it must be allowed to flow
from one to another, for the flow

2477
03:29:16.680 --> 03:29:22.559
is its natural state. In this
first exercise, you should easily direct your

2478
03:29:22.639 --> 03:29:24.760
attention to each area of the body. When this happens, the act of

2479
03:29:24.840 --> 03:29:31.479
paying attention releases deeply accumulated tensions.
Your body as a creature, wants attention

2480
03:29:31.559 --> 03:29:37.520
and feels comforted when it receives it. Lie down or sit in a comfortable

2481
03:29:37.879 --> 03:29:41.559
chair with your eyes closed. Choose
a quiet room, free of noises that

2482
03:29:41.639 --> 03:29:48.280
can distract you. Focus your attention
on your toes, right hold them down

2483
03:29:48.360 --> 03:29:52.239
until they feel tense. Then loosen
the tension and experience the relaxation that if

2484
03:29:52.319 --> 03:29:56.879
you do not suffer. Don'
t rush to think about it or relax

2485
03:29:56.879 --> 03:30:00.959
them. Take time to feel what' s going on. Now let a

2486
03:30:01.040 --> 03:30:03.639
long and deep sigh escape, as
if you were breathing through your toes,

2487
03:30:03.879 --> 03:30:07.600
let all the fatigue and accumulated tension
go with your breath, do not buff

2488
03:30:07.600 --> 03:30:13.440
or blow. Just let the sigh
escape in a long exhalation, like sighs

2489
03:30:13.799 --> 03:30:20.280
of relief, without holding it.
If you emit a groan or a better

2490
03:30:20.280 --> 03:30:26.280
grunt, it' s a sign
of deep release. Now repeat the procedure

2491
03:30:26.399 --> 03:30:30.200
with the right foot instep by first
fixing your attention on it. He then

2492
03:30:30.280 --> 03:30:33.719
tightens his muscles by arching his foot
back and ends up relaxing them. When

2493
03:30:33.799 --> 03:30:39.120
you feel the instep relaxed, let
a sigh slip away as if you were

2494
03:30:39.239 --> 03:30:43.959
breathing through your toes once you'
ve mastered it. This basic technique focuses

2495
03:30:43.040 --> 03:30:48.680
attention on all parts of the body. In the following order remember that this

2496
03:30:48.760 --> 03:30:52.520
is not a simple muscle relaxation technique. Should you comfortably delay attention on each

2497
03:30:52.639 --> 03:31:01.120
part of the body right foot toes
in comb ankle floor two stages, flexing

2498
03:31:01.239 --> 03:31:07.799
backwards and bending forward? Left foot, comb fingers, ankle plant, two

2499
03:31:07.920 --> 03:31:15.040
stages, flexing backwards and flexing forward? Right neck and upper thigh, left

2500
03:31:15.040 --> 03:31:22.319
buttock and upper thigh. Abdominal muscles, diaphragm, lower back, upper back.

2501
03:31:26.719 --> 03:31:31.680
Right hand. Doll fingers, two
stages, flexing backwards and bending forward?

2502
03:31:33.319 --> 03:31:37.000
Shoulders, two stages, bending forward
and flexing upwards. Towards the neck

2503
03:31:39.000 --> 03:31:46.280
neck, two stages, bending forward
and flexing backwards. Face, two stages,

2504
03:31:46.719 --> 03:31:50.159
wrinkling the face on a tight face
and then straining the forehead and eyebrows.

2505
03:31:52.159 --> 03:31:56.440
This exercise seems quite complicated when described
verbally but flexing various parts of the

2506
03:31:56.559 --> 03:32:01.920
body is simply following the two of
the natural uo in which the joints and

2507
03:32:01.000 --> 03:32:05.840
muscles move. After a session,
you will be able to make your tour

2508
03:32:05.959 --> 03:32:11.360
of the body effortlessly. Abbreviated version. A complete circuit of the body,

2509
03:32:11.879 --> 03:32:16.159
as described above, takes about fifteen
minutes. If you' re short of

2510
03:32:16.159 --> 03:32:20.479
time. The abbreviated version covers only
toes, diaphragm, fingers, shoulders,

2511
03:32:20.040 --> 03:32:30.959
neck, and exercise face. Two
focused intents. This exercise shows that it

2512
03:32:31.079 --> 03:32:35.479
is enough to have an intention to
achieve a result. Properly focused consciousness,

2513
03:32:35.920 --> 03:32:39.639
that is, easily and effortlessly,
has the ability to carry out quite specific

2514
03:32:39.719 --> 03:32:45.319
orders. An intention does not need
to be a verbally expressed thought. Actually,

2515
03:32:45.760 --> 03:32:52.239
our deepest intentions are body- centered. Our most fundamental needs of love,

2516
03:32:52.559 --> 03:32:56.959
understanding, encouragement, support permeate each
of the cells. The desires that

2517
03:32:58.040 --> 03:33:01.920
arise in your mind are often clouded
by selfish motives that are not true needs.

2518
03:33:03.000 --> 03:33:05.440
People are often mired in the pursuit
of money, professional goals, and

2519
03:33:05.520 --> 03:33:11.239
political ambitions in ways that are disconnected
from the fundamental need for comfort and well

2520
03:33:11.399 --> 03:33:18.040
- being that every healthy organism must
satisfy. Many of us are so far

2521
03:33:18.120 --> 03:33:24.239
from our basic needs, so programmed
to run behind what the ego desires,

2522
03:33:24.559 --> 03:33:30.559
that we must learn again the basic
mechanisms by which care and intention actually function.

2523
03:33:33.079 --> 03:33:37.000
There are many ways to gain satisfaction, apart from those that teach us

2524
03:33:37.079 --> 03:33:41.879
our culture, outward- oriented.
In this sense, the most valuable lesson

2525
03:33:43.040 --> 03:33:48.920
is that intentions, if allowed to
act, seek satisfaction automatically. Every cell

2526
03:33:48.000 --> 03:33:52.639
in your body seeks satisfaction through joy, beauty, love, and appreciation.

2527
03:33:54.639 --> 03:33:58.159
It is hard to understand when the
mind sets its program apart to satisfy other

2528
03:33:58.239 --> 03:34:03.959
kinds of desires lacking in love,
joy and joy. However, millions of

2529
03:34:03.000 --> 03:34:09.639
people have been programmed to achieve these
goals only in the three related procedures.

2530
03:34:11.399 --> 03:34:15.920
We remain here you will experience the
way in which intentions can be met effortlessly,

2531
03:34:16.799 --> 03:34:20.159
jumping to ego and rational mind for
better results. Exercise one as preheating

2532
03:34:20.200 --> 03:34:26.360
in order to put your body in
a receptive state. Although the intentions that

2533
03:34:26.440 --> 03:34:30.399
are carried out are simple, they
will give you confidence in your ability to

2534
03:34:30.479 --> 03:34:33.799
direct the consciousness, which is essential
if you want to change the entrenched patterns

2535
03:34:35.079 --> 03:34:37.799
of aging, as aging itself is
an intention that your cells obey beyond your

2536
03:34:37.920 --> 03:34:43.079
control. One takes a piece of
string about thirty centimeters long and binds a

2537
03:34:43.159 --> 03:34:48.280
small weight at the end to form
a pendulum. It can serve a plumb

2538
03:34:48.399 --> 03:34:52.079
to fish a washer or a screw
of two and a half centimeters. Hold

2539
03:34:52.159 --> 03:34:56.159
the string with your right hand and
lay the elbow on a table or on

2540
03:34:56.239 --> 03:35:00.479
the arm of the armchair so that
you can hold the pendulum firmly. Sit

2541
03:35:00.600 --> 03:35:05.559
comfortably and make sure the pendulum doesn' t move, now look at the

2542
03:35:05.639 --> 03:35:09.920
weight and project the intention of the
pendulum moving side by side. The simplest

2543
03:35:09.040 --> 03:35:13.399
way to try is to visualize how
you want the weight to move, but

2544
03:35:13.479 --> 03:35:16.799
you can verbalize if you want the
words side by side. Keep your attention

2545
03:35:16.920 --> 03:35:20.079
fixed on the pendulum and intent well
firm in the mind, but be careful

2546
03:35:20.200 --> 03:35:24.959
to keep your arm still. You
will be surprised to see that within a

2547
03:35:26.040 --> 03:35:30.000
few seconds the pendulum begins to move
on its own. If you initially move

2548
03:35:30.079 --> 03:35:35.079
erratically, do not try to correct
your swing simply wait until you automatically find

2549
03:35:35.239 --> 03:35:41.879
the desired movement. Now change your
intention to direct the pendulum from front to

2550
03:35:41.959 --> 03:35:46.360
back. Imagine again the movement in
your mind and challenge it there effortlessly.

2551
03:35:46.760 --> 03:35:52.840
Typically, your pendulum will hesitate a
few seconds away and, after some erratic

2552
03:35:52.840 --> 03:35:56.639
movements, will take the desired direction. After observing it a few seconds away,

2553
03:35:58.239 --> 03:36:01.200
have the firm intention of the pendulum
moving in circles, it will stop

2554
03:36:01.239 --> 03:36:07.760
moving erratically again for one or two
seconds and then move exactly as you visualized

2555
03:36:07.879 --> 03:36:13.520
it. The more you try to
keep your arm rigidly still at the faster

2556
03:36:13.639 --> 03:36:16.920
the pendulum will move. The funny
thing is that doing this exercise in a

2557
03:36:18.120 --> 03:36:20.520
group has the greatest effect. I
have seen several hundred people mesmerized by the

2558
03:36:20.600 --> 03:36:26.200
movement of their pendulums, who instantly
changed direction to the touch of an intention,

2559
03:36:26.680 --> 03:36:31.200
moving frequently in wide fast arches.
Although this exercise is very simple,

2560
03:36:31.600 --> 03:36:39.120
its effect is usually mysterious. Two
comfortably seated. He has his right hand

2561
03:36:39.479 --> 03:36:43.959
open with his palm out. Formulate
the intention that your palm will warm up

2562
03:36:43.920 --> 03:36:48.639
to help you. Imagine that your
hand touches a bright red iron or a

2563
03:36:48.799 --> 03:36:54.520
burning coal. Hold the image in
your mind. Within a few seconds the

2564
03:36:54.559 --> 03:36:58.120
feeling of heat will begin to appear. Now raise your left hand and point

2565
03:36:58.239 --> 03:37:03.639
towards it at the two fingers on
the right, joined and stretched out formulates

2566
03:37:03.680 --> 03:37:07.079
the intention that the heat will spread
from your right hand to the palm on

2567
03:37:07.120 --> 03:37:11.559
the left. To help you,
move your right forwards and backwards, as

2568
03:37:11.879 --> 03:37:15.239
if you were painting the other hand
with warmth, but don' t let

2569
03:37:15.239 --> 03:37:18.920
them touch you. Almost everyone will
feel that the heat is transmitted from one

2570
03:37:18.000 --> 03:37:22.120
hand to the other. Some will
experience a slight tingling or stinging sensation in

2571
03:37:22.200 --> 03:37:28.760
the left palm. This exercise is
more effective if you guide someone else to

2572
03:37:28.799 --> 03:37:33.479
do it. If you do it
just get familiar with the instructions first so

2573
03:37:33.559 --> 03:37:39.120
you can try it without interruption.
Three, sit comfortably and hold a common

2574
03:37:39.200 --> 03:37:43.479
thermometer between the thumb and index of
your right hand, close your eyes and

2575
03:37:43.600 --> 03:37:48.799
for a moment attend to your breathing. As your body relaxes, continue to

2576
03:37:48.799 --> 03:37:54.600
track your breathing rhythm. Then,
look at the temperature of the thermometer,

2577
03:37:56.719 --> 03:38:01.680
you will change it by the mere
intention of cold. As you breathe through

2578
03:38:01.760 --> 03:38:05.040
your mouth, feel the fresh air
coming in and out of your throat.

2579
03:38:07.040 --> 03:38:11.200
In doing so, think of the
fresh word. Now imagine that the thermometer

2580
03:38:11.319 --> 03:38:15.239
is a piece of ice that you
can barely hold between your fingers. After

2581
03:38:15.360 --> 03:38:18.399
one or two minutes notice the temperature
of the thermometer, it is likely to

2582
03:38:18.799 --> 03:38:24.360
have dropped between a half degree and
two and a half degrees. If you

2583
03:38:24.479 --> 03:38:28.840
don' t notice any change,
resume exercise another couple of minutes and check

2584
03:38:30.239 --> 03:38:35.159
your intention for warmth while breathing through
your nose, feel the heat in the

2585
03:38:35.200 --> 03:38:39.360
center of your chest for a moment. Now think of the hot word and

2586
03:38:39.440 --> 03:38:43.719
imagine that the thermometer is a red
arm that can barely hold. After a

2587
03:38:43.799 --> 03:38:46.879
minute or two, look at the
thermometer. It is likely to have risen

2588
03:38:46.959 --> 03:38:52.000
between half and two and a half
degrees. If you don' t see

2589
03:38:52.319 --> 03:38:56.079
any change, resume the exercise another
couple of minutes and consult again. The

2590
03:38:56.200 --> 03:39:01.559
last two exercises are based on classical
experiments carried out more than fifty years ago

2591
03:39:01.639 --> 03:39:07.479
by the pioneer of Russian neurologists to
R Luria. Luria' s most famous

2592
03:39:07.559 --> 03:39:11.959
subject was a journalist he called simply
that man endowed with an almost infallible photographic

2593
03:39:11.000 --> 03:39:16.360
memory, he could attend a press
conference without taking notes and then repeat each

2594
03:39:16.399 --> 03:39:22.159
of the words spoken by any speaker. He was able to memorize long series

2595
03:39:22.239 --> 03:39:26.159
of selected numbers, randomly and remember
any scene he would have witnessed even in

2596
03:39:26.280 --> 03:39:33.120
the tiniest detail. In addition,
it could use simple visualizations to change all

2597
03:39:33.239 --> 03:39:37.440
kinds of involuntary functions. If he
imagined himself looking at the sun, his

2598
03:39:37.520 --> 03:39:43.120
pupils would contract, if he imagined
himself sitting in the darkness, they would

2599
03:39:43.120 --> 03:39:48.280
dilate. He could raise and lower
the temperature of his hands using the procedure

2600
03:39:48.440 --> 03:39:54.479
described above. Once you' ve
mastered it. That you can prove his

2601
03:39:54.600 --> 03:39:58.200
method of altering the heart rate.
If he wanted his heart to beat more

2602
03:40:00.719 --> 03:40:03.440
quickly, he imagined running behind a
train leaving the station, if he wanted

2603
03:40:03.440 --> 03:40:09.079
to delay it, he would see
himself lying in bed taking a nap.

2604
03:40:11.079 --> 03:40:16.000
He considered these achievements to be remarkable, just as future researchers would do a

2605
03:40:16.079 --> 03:40:20.639
generation later when they saw esbami and
branch perform the same feats. In both

2606
03:40:20.639 --> 03:40:26.680
cases, however, biofeedback without machines
was demonstrated, rather than requiring a hocioscope

2607
03:40:26.760 --> 03:40:31.200
or sonic signal to indicate that an
intention was being carried out. That and

2608
03:40:31.280 --> 03:40:35.159
esbami and branches were based on the
very feedback system of their bodies, although

2609
03:40:37.760 --> 03:40:41.600
we are usually not aware of it. The body constantly regulates temperature, heart

2610
03:40:43.000 --> 03:40:46.920
rate, and other autonomous functions through
the procedure of listening to its own internal

2611
03:40:48.040 --> 03:40:52.360
messages. The smallest change in any
function is recorded, even slightly in the

2612
03:40:52.440 --> 03:40:58.559
consciousness of the nervous system. As
these exercises show, they can voluntarily take

2613
03:40:58.600 --> 03:41:03.520
advantage of these silent signs. Consciousness
is a field and by sending an intention

2614
03:41:03.559 --> 03:41:09.799
to that field you change the flow
of biological information. This is recorded in

2615
03:41:09.840 --> 03:41:13.639
the conscious mind as vague sensation,
intuition or just as a silent knowledge.

2616
03:41:15.600 --> 03:41:20.200
The answer varies between different people,
but practice strengthens sensitivity to one' s

2617
03:41:20.319 --> 03:41:26.440
own consciousness. As far as aging
is concerned, this sensitivity is necessary,

2618
03:41:26.000 --> 03:41:30.920
because the new paradigm tells us that
aging begins as a distortion in the field

2619
03:41:31.000 --> 03:41:37.360
of consciousness. The smooth flow of
information from his body is blocked by tensions,

2620
03:41:37.520 --> 03:41:43.719
memories, past traumas and random errors. Although these imperfections are subtle,

2621
03:41:45.159 --> 03:41:48.280
the conscience does not overlook them.
The heart, liver, kidneys, and

2622
03:41:48.360 --> 03:41:54.840
all other organs know when they work
badly. The disturbances produced in cellular intelligence

2623
03:41:54.959 --> 03:41:58.280
end up being recorded in the mind
as discomfort, pain, or simple feeling

2624
03:41:58.360 --> 03:42:03.680
of discomfort. What we are learning
to do here is to retine these perceptions

2625
03:42:03.760 --> 03:42:07.760
so that they register at an earlier
stage. The sooner an altered function is

2626
03:42:07.840 --> 03:42:13.559
detected, the easier it will be
to correct it using only consciousness. Declared

2627
03:42:13.600 --> 03:42:16.600
aging is a very crude sign that
the body has suffered a loss of energy

2628
03:42:16.719 --> 03:42:22.120
and information at some vital point,
usually in the brain. The immune system

2629
03:42:22.239 --> 03:42:28.360
or endocrine glands. Cancer, diabetes, and senility are typical manifestations of advanced

2630
03:42:31.200 --> 03:42:39.159
dysfunction. There are rare cases in
which patients have used the power of consciousness

2631
03:42:39.239 --> 03:42:43.440
to cure themselves from very serious disorders, but it is much easier to correct

2632
03:42:43.479 --> 03:42:48.879
the underlying problem at an early stage. The first stage of any physiological alteration

2633
03:42:48.959 --> 03:42:52.879
occurs in consciousness itself. Naturally,
the best way to return these alterations to

2634
03:42:52.959 --> 03:43:00.680
balance is to also use the stress
exercise three a trigger for the earth transformation.

2635
03:43:01.959 --> 03:43:05.760
All intent is a trigger for transformation. As soon as you decide you

2636
03:43:05.760 --> 03:43:09.239
want something, your nervous system responds
so that you reach the desired goal.

2637
03:43:11.239 --> 03:43:15.079
This applies to simple intentions, such
as getting up to look for a glass

2638
03:43:15.159 --> 03:43:18.920
of water, and also to complex
ones, such as winning a game of

2639
03:43:18.040 --> 03:43:22.520
tennis or playing a mozart sonata In
one case or another, the conscious mind

2640
03:43:22.639 --> 03:43:28.440
does not have to direct all neural
signals and muscle movements to achieve its goal.

2641
03:43:28.840 --> 03:43:33.559
The intention is inserted into the field
of consciousness, activating the appropriate response.

2642
03:43:35.440 --> 03:43:39.200
When I lie down to sleep my
intention to sleep activates a complex series

2643
03:43:39.280 --> 03:43:45.559
of biochemical and neurological processes, medical
science cannot imitate this controlled connection in the

2644
03:43:45.639 --> 03:43:50.280
plane of intelligence. That connection can
only be crudely manipulated from the molecular plane.

2645
03:43:50.399 --> 03:43:54.959
For example, I can fall asleep
taking a sleeping pill, but the

2646
03:43:54.040 --> 03:43:58.559
resulting type of sleep will not be
natural. There will be alterations in the

2647
03:43:58.680 --> 03:44:01.319
normal sequence of sleep stages, especially
r M. The stage you dream of

2648
03:44:01.399 --> 03:44:07.879
when you have an intention. Your
brain can only supply the reactions you'

2649
03:44:07.000 --> 03:44:11.760
ve learned. If you play tennis
well or are a good pianist, your

2650
03:44:11.799 --> 03:44:16.559
trained response will produce very different results
from those that get people less prepared than

2651
03:44:16.559 --> 03:44:22.399
you. However, the deepest ability
lies in managing the intention itself. People

2652
03:44:22.479 --> 03:44:26.200
who succeed most in any company usually
manage their desires without unduly fighting the environment.

2653
03:44:28.079 --> 03:44:31.000
They' re in the flow.
If you review the section on adaptability

2654
03:44:31.120 --> 03:44:35.440
page one hundred and five, you
will find a good description of how they

2655
03:44:35.440 --> 03:44:39.680
solve your problems. The most successful
people allow the solution to come forward on

2656
03:44:39.799 --> 03:44:45.479
its own, relying on their own
ability to face difficult challenges. By creating

2657
03:44:45.559 --> 03:44:50.719
a minimum of anxiety, conflict,
concern and false expectations, they promote a

2658
03:44:50.840 --> 03:44:56.479
very efficient use of their physical and
mental energies. The resulting ease of functioning

2659
03:44:56.639 --> 03:45:01.280
body mind is either directly or sun
with aging well the more you naturally exist

2660
03:45:01.360 --> 03:45:07.239
in the flow of your consciousness.
Minor is the wear and tear of your

2661
03:45:07.239 --> 03:45:13.079
body. As with all abilities,
people have enormous variations in their use of

2662
03:45:13.120 --> 03:45:18.120
intent. When Professor Alan Minger and
her colleagues offered a group of elders the

2663
03:45:18.159 --> 03:45:24.159
challenge of acting as if they were
twenty years younger. The researchers provided their

2664
03:45:24.200 --> 03:45:28.440
subjects with a center of common intent. The key to reversing the age of

2665
03:45:28.559 --> 03:45:31.920
these men was for their bodies to
respond to external data from the past.

2666
03:45:33.399 --> 03:45:37.239
In the following exercise you are asked
to participate in a kind of internal journey

2667
03:45:37.280 --> 03:45:41.840
through time using a visual image of
your past. The purpose is to experience

2668
03:45:41.959 --> 03:45:46.360
the speed with which your body adapts
to this intention with sensations of renewed youth,

2669
03:45:46.799 --> 03:45:52.879
sit comfortably or lie with your eyes
closed. Pay attention for a moment

2670
03:45:52.959 --> 03:45:56.280
to your breathing, following with ease
to climb up and down your chest,

2671
03:45:56.959 --> 03:46:01.000
feeling the air that passes through your
nostrils, feel the arms that gain weight

2672
03:46:01.040 --> 03:46:05.479
at your sides. When you are
relaxed in the sight of the mind,

2673
03:46:05.680 --> 03:46:11.479
one of the most wonderful moments of
your childhood should be a vivid scene of

2674
03:46:11.600 --> 03:46:16.559
joy in which you are preferably the
center of some activity. For example,

2675
03:46:18.000 --> 03:46:22.479
a scene of those occurred in my
childhood while playing cliquet in summer, my

2676
03:46:22.479 --> 03:46:26.520
father took us to the hills of
northern India. I vividly remember one of

2677
03:46:26.600 --> 03:46:33.200
those places called Armchair, nesting in
the cool green mountains. I see the

2678
03:46:33.280 --> 03:46:37.159
flat meadow bordered by hills where we
played. There was a case where I

2679
03:46:37.319 --> 03:46:41.319
made a victorious career and that'
s the moment I like to relive in

2680
03:46:41.319 --> 03:46:46.120
memory. I feel the weight of
the bat in my hands and the dry

2681
03:46:46.200 --> 03:46:50.479
hit against the ball. I see
her flying high against the green and red

2682
03:46:50.559 --> 03:46:54.200
roofs of the distant huts. I
feel the fresh air and enthusiasm in the

2683
03:46:54.239 --> 03:46:58.680
body. As I run, my
heart beats. My legs strive with you

2684
03:46:58.799 --> 03:47:03.799
all their power. In my mind
I see myself with very open arms embracing

2685
03:47:05.000 --> 03:47:09.760
that victorious moment. I participate in
it with all my fibers, not only

2686
03:47:09.879 --> 03:47:13.360
with the memory and intensity of the
desire to be there again. In my

2687
03:47:13.479 --> 03:47:20.399
youth it makes me feel light,
expanded, happy, absorbed in an experience

2688
03:47:20.479 --> 03:47:26.680
so full that it stops time,
seeks your own moment and finds out what

2689
03:47:26.719 --> 03:47:30.520
power it has for you. The
details are important. That is why it

2690
03:47:30.639 --> 03:47:35.719
is easier to use intense physical experiences. Feel the air and the sun on

2691
03:47:35.760 --> 03:47:39.239
your skin. You can see if
you' re hot or cold. Look

2692
03:47:39.360 --> 03:47:43.680
at the colors, the textures,
the faces. Name the place of your

2693
03:47:43.760 --> 03:47:48.120
scene and the people who are there
he repairs in how they dress and what

2694
03:47:48.120 --> 03:47:50.760
they do. But the most important
thing is to recapture the feeling of your

2695
03:47:50.840 --> 03:47:56.680
body when you rise to melt with
that moment and become it. By regaining

2696
03:47:56.719 --> 03:48:01.079
the flow of a magical instant active
in your body a transformation. The signals

2697
03:48:01.159 --> 03:48:05.200
sent by your brain are as easily
activated by memories and visual images as by

2698
03:48:05.319 --> 03:48:11.520
real images and sounds. The more
experienced your participation is, the closer you

2699
03:48:11.559 --> 03:48:16.239
will get to doubling the body chemistry
of that youthful moment. The old channels

2700
03:48:16.399 --> 03:48:22.479
never close, only remain unused.
Therefore, by changing it, contact your

2701
03:48:24.319 --> 03:48:33.959
inner experience can return in time using
memory biochemistry as an exercise vehicle. Four,

2702
03:48:33.360 --> 03:48:39.920
intentions and the countryside. The new
paradigm tells us that our underlying reality.

2703
03:48:39.319 --> 03:48:43.959
The field is continuous and, therefore, is present equally at all points

2704
03:48:43.040 --> 03:48:50.000
of space. Time. Your consciousness
and all the intentions that rotate from it

2705
03:48:50.079 --> 03:48:56.319
are woven into that continuity. This
means that, when you have a desire,

2706
03:48:56.799 --> 03:49:00.000
you actually send a message to the
whole field, s lighter nano t

2707
03:49:00.360 --> 03:49:03.959
crosses the universe on the quantum plane. We have already seen that when you

2708
03:49:05.040 --> 03:49:09.760
have an intention related to your body, it is automatically fulfilled. The same

2709
03:49:09.879 --> 03:49:13.520
should happen, therefore, with the
intentions you send out of your body.

2710
03:49:13.200 --> 03:49:20.920
The field has the organizational power to
automatically fulfill any intention. Everyone knows occasional

2711
03:49:20.000 --> 03:49:24.440
cases in which a wish is unexpectedly
fulfilled and something one wanted appears out of

2712
03:49:24.479 --> 03:49:28.520
nowhere, a call from an unexpected
old friend, with no income from money,

2713
03:49:28.719 --> 03:49:35.559
job offers, new relationships. These
are the moments when your connection to

2714
03:49:35.680 --> 03:49:39.239
the field is clear. When your
desires don' t come true, your

2715
03:49:39.319 --> 03:49:43.840
consciousness has been blocked or disconnected from
its source in the field. If your

2716
03:49:43.959 --> 03:49:48.719
consciousness is open and clear, it
is normal for all desires to be fulfilled.

2717
03:49:50.680 --> 03:49:52.959
It does not take a special act
of Providence to fulfill a wish.

2718
03:49:54.280 --> 03:49:58.360
The universal field of existence has been
designed to operate for that purpose. If

2719
03:49:58.479 --> 03:50:01.360
it wasn' t designed that way, you wouldn' t be able to

2720
03:50:01.799 --> 03:50:07.360
move your toes blink or carry out
any order mind body. All voluntary actions

2721
03:50:07.440 --> 03:50:13.000
depend on the invisible transformation of an
abstract intention into a material result. Your

2722
03:50:13.079 --> 03:50:16.920
body is the material result of all
the intentions you' ve had in your

2723
03:50:16.920 --> 03:50:22.040
life. In the last exercise we
remember a moment of the past using the

2724
03:50:22.120 --> 03:50:26.280
intention to create a certain response,
mind and body. If you imagined your

2725
03:50:26.440 --> 03:50:31.680
experience with enough vividity, involuntary reactions
of all kinds blood pressure, heart rate,

2726
03:50:33.000 --> 03:50:37.319
breathing, body temperature, etc,
will begin to conform to exactly what

2727
03:50:37.399 --> 03:50:41.360
you felt in the past. You
will be reliving not only a visual image,

2728
03:50:41.680 --> 03:50:46.520
but all the physiological response that accompanied
the image. Millions of such sacred

2729
03:50:46.559 --> 03:50:52.959
responses participated in the creation of the
physiology you now experience. But since you

2730
03:50:52.079 --> 03:50:56.159
didn' t possess the ability to
deliberately use these intentions for your benefit.

2731
03:50:56.399 --> 03:51:01.399
Your body contains accumulated impressions of trauma
and stress that contribute to the aging process.

2732
03:51:03.559 --> 03:51:07.079
In the next section I will describe
how to remove those old impressions.

2733
03:51:07.399 --> 03:51:11.399
But here it is important to learn
the mechanics of intention that prevents aging.

2734
03:51:11.520 --> 03:51:16.719
From the beginning, an intention is
a signal sent by you to the field.

2735
03:51:16.040 --> 03:51:20.479
The result you receive from the field
is the highest compliance that can be

2736
03:51:20.559 --> 03:51:24.479
provided to your nervous system. In
particular, when two people want the same

2737
03:51:24.479 --> 03:51:28.440
thing, they do not always get
the same result. This is because the

2738
03:51:28.479 --> 03:51:31.680
quality of intention changes when it is
sent to the field and is reflected again

2739
03:51:31.760 --> 03:51:35.600
as a result. For example,
if you have a strong desire to be

2740
03:51:35.600 --> 03:51:39.840
loved, the love you desire and
will receive is very well conditioned. From

2741
03:51:39.959 --> 03:51:43.239
your experience, St Paul' s
love is totally different from the love known

2742
03:51:43.319 --> 03:51:48.280
to a mistreated child. Anyway,
when a desire is fulfilled, the mechanism

2743
03:51:48.719 --> 03:51:56.600
has certain similarities for everyone. One
looks for a certain result two. The

2744
03:51:56.680 --> 03:52:00.120
intention is specific and defined. The
person is sure of the person who wants

2745
03:52:00.120 --> 03:52:05.319
three. Little or no attention is
paid to the details of the physiological processes

2746
03:52:05.399 --> 03:52:11.319
involved. Indeed, paying attention to
details inhibits the flow of intelligence impulses that

2747
03:52:11.479 --> 03:52:18.399
produce the result, delaying or preventing
success. In other words, the person

2748
03:52:18.520 --> 03:52:22.799
adopts an attitude of non- interference. Four, the person expects a result

2749
03:52:22.920 --> 03:52:28.079
and trusts to get it. However, there is no eager attachment to a

2750
03:52:28.120 --> 03:52:31.920
result. If you are anxious to
fall asleep, for example, that prevents

2751
03:52:31.040 --> 03:52:37.959
your desire from being fulfilled. Concern, uncertainty and doubt are the three primary

2752
03:52:37.000 --> 03:52:41.200
obstacles that prevent us from making efficient
use of the power contained in each intention.

2753
03:52:43.959 --> 03:52:48.639
Power still exists, but we turn
it against itself. In other words,

2754
03:52:48.079 --> 03:52:52.959
when you doubt that a wish will
be fulfilled, you are essentially sending

2755
03:52:52.000 --> 03:52:56.879
a self- defeating intention that the
field counts as cancelling your first wish.

2756
03:52:58.319 --> 03:53:03.079
Five participates in a retro- alino
of self- reference. In other words,

2757
03:53:03.520 --> 03:53:07.200
every intention that is fulfilled teaches you
to fulfill even better the next intention.

2758
03:53:07.120 --> 03:53:11.680
When the result is presented it confirms
the power of intention on a conscious

2759
03:53:11.760 --> 03:53:18.520
plane, increases confidence and strengthens success. The effect reinforces itself. This transforms

2760
03:53:18.639 --> 03:53:24.479
doubt into certainty. People whose desires
are not fulfilled also experience feedback, but

2761
03:53:24.479 --> 03:53:28.479
it reinforces failure six at the end
of the process, there is no doubt

2762
03:53:28.559 --> 03:53:33.040
that the result has been obtained by
a definite and conscious process that extends beyond

2763
03:53:33.079 --> 03:53:37.159
the individual to a larger reality.
For some it is god or providence,

2764
03:53:37.520 --> 03:53:43.479
for others it is zero or absolute. I have been using a more scientific

2765
03:53:43.879 --> 03:53:48.280
term the field, but not excluding
any of those more traditional spiritual names.

2766
03:53:48.399 --> 03:53:52.000
In all cases, the material world
is the expression of a manifest and predominant

2767
03:53:52.040 --> 03:53:58.879
intelligence that responds to human desire.
These six steps exhibit the most important characteristic

2768
03:53:58.920 --> 03:54:05.239
of that of inner intelligence has in
itself organizational power. This organizational power is

2769
03:54:05.319 --> 03:54:09.840
the link between intention and outcome.
Without it there could be no cause and

2770
03:54:09.840 --> 03:54:15.639
effect, quantum soup would remain chaos, for without organizational power there can be

2771
03:54:15.719 --> 03:54:22.120
no patterns, order natural laws,
physical structures or biochemical processes. To take

2772
03:54:22.200 --> 03:54:26.840
advantage of this knowledge you can use
the following exercise with any desire. Don

2773
03:54:26.920 --> 03:54:31.719
' t worry if you haven'
t been very successful in fulfilling your intentions

2774
03:54:31.719 --> 03:54:35.959
so far. The most important step
in achieving something is to gain clarity about

2775
03:54:35.079 --> 03:54:39.760
the mechanisms of intention. By doing
this exercise, you will clear a path

2776
03:54:39.840 --> 03:54:45.040
to greater success. You just have
to trust that the field will automatically satisfy

2777
03:54:45.200 --> 03:54:48.159
all the impulses sent to it.
One way or another, all desires reach

2778
03:54:48.239 --> 03:54:52.319
their goal. It is only your
limited perspective on time space, which tarnishes

2779
03:54:52.399 --> 03:54:58.440
your perception that the result is being
produced. One, sit quietly and employ

2780
03:54:58.479 --> 03:55:05.639
any rare methods already suggested to relax
the body and feel inwardly serene. Two,

2781
03:55:05.840 --> 03:55:11.639
set your intention on the result you
want. Be specific, you can

2782
03:55:11.719 --> 03:55:16.079
visualize the result or verbally express it
for yourself. Three, don' t

2783
03:55:16.159 --> 03:55:20.879
miss out on details. Don'
t force anything or try to concentrate.

2784
03:55:20.840 --> 03:55:24.360
Your intention should be as natural as
raising your arm or drinking a sip of

2785
03:55:24.440 --> 03:55:31.600
water. Four, wait for the
result and believe in it becomes aware that

2786
03:55:31.760 --> 03:55:37.000
it is safe. Five understands that
doubts, worries and attachment will only interfere

2787
03:55:37.120 --> 03:55:43.879
with the outcome. Six, let
go of the wish. You don'

2788
03:55:43.000 --> 03:55:46.799
t need to dispatch the same letter
twice. You know the message has been

2789
03:55:46.879 --> 03:55:52.000
delivered and your result is on the
way. Seven Stay open to feedback coming

2790
03:55:52.079 --> 03:55:56.799
to you Whether from within or from
the middle. Understand that each and every

2791
03:55:58.000 --> 03:56:03.559
one of those feedbacks has been evoked
by you This last step is of utmost

2792
03:56:03.719 --> 03:56:07.959
importance. Being so conditioned by the
materialistic view of the world, we all

2793
03:56:09.000 --> 03:56:13.559
tend to seek material results. However, some people who desire wealth may actually

2794
03:56:13.639 --> 03:56:18.319
be looking forward to the security they
believe is guaranteed by wealth. If that

2795
03:56:18.399 --> 03:56:22.600
is the dominant intention in your consciousness, the field could favor a result that

2796
03:56:22.680 --> 03:56:28.719
would provide a sense of security rather
than material riches. The feedback produced by

2797
03:56:28.840 --> 03:56:33.360
an intention is able to manifest itself
in unexpected ways, but there is always

2798
03:56:33.399 --> 03:56:39.639
some result however slight it may be. With regard to ageing, almost all

2799
03:56:39.719 --> 03:56:43.120
of us want to avoid physical and
mental deterioration. We may have a specific

2800
03:56:43.120 --> 03:56:46.559
intention, such as not contracting Alzheimer' s disease or cancer, but these

2801
03:56:46.600 --> 03:56:52.000
intentions may not be effective, as
they are forms disguised as deeper desires.

2802
03:56:52.840 --> 03:56:56.239
Such as not wanting to suffer or
die. My suggestion is to try to

2803
03:56:56.280 --> 03:57:01.280
stay at the most youthful operational level
possible. You can also express the intention,

2804
03:57:01.879 --> 03:57:07.120
both in physical and mental function,
to improve every day. To reinforce

2805
03:57:07.159 --> 03:57:11.000
the results of that intention, you
can resolve to pay attention to everything you

2806
03:57:11.040 --> 03:57:15.440
can do best day by day.
Don' t set any limiting expectations.

2807
03:57:15.760 --> 03:57:18.879
Maybe one day you just notice that
you wash your clothes more warmly or that

2808
03:57:18.920 --> 03:57:22.760
you appreciate twilight. The consciousness opens
in a thousand directions and it is always

2809
03:57:22.840 --> 03:57:28.639
valuable to keep all channels open.
Here' s a form that might take

2810
03:57:28.719 --> 03:57:37.600
your intention today. My intention is
to experience one more energy, two more

2811
03:57:37.600 --> 03:57:46.680
liveliness, three more youthful enthusiasm four, more creativity, five a continuous improvement

2812
03:57:46.760 --> 03:57:50.840
of my physical and mental capacity.
In all planes you can add the following

2813
03:57:50.879 --> 03:57:56.479
intention, as a broader desire.
My intention is that my inner creative intelligence

2814
03:57:56.559 --> 03:58:00.840
orchestrates and spontaneously guides my conduct,
my feelings and my reaction to all situations,

2815
03:58:01.360 --> 03:58:07.079
so that the five intentions expressed are
automatically fulfilled. Finally. It will

2816
03:58:07.159 --> 03:58:11.319
be helpful to remember that you can
rely on this approach, because you are

2817
03:58:11.399 --> 03:58:13.959
turning to the fundamental nature of your
physiology. Just like he operates constantly.

2818
03:58:15.319 --> 03:58:18.440
My internal keys are my best feedback. The more I respond to them,

2819
03:58:18.920 --> 03:58:22.399
the more I will amplify the strength
of my intention to obtain the result I

2820
03:58:22.399 --> 03:58:31.040
desire. Part three, to defeat
entropy, the basic material of the human

2821
03:58:31.120 --> 03:58:35.200
body. It' s extremely fragile. If you isolate them to a single

2822
03:58:35.319 --> 03:58:39.040
cell and leave it in the open
on a temperate spring day, it will

2823
03:58:39.159 --> 03:58:41.959
wither to death in a matter of
minutes. Within each cell there is a

2824
03:58:43.040 --> 03:58:48.040
microscopic strand of genetic material your DNA, which is even less resistant, even

2825
03:58:48.040 --> 03:58:52.600
though your genes are secreted by the
nucleus of the cells. Every day they

2826
03:58:52.680 --> 03:58:56.360
' re damaged. Radioactivity, ultraviolet
light to one, chemical toxins and pollution,

2827
03:58:56.840 --> 03:59:00.479
mutations, random X- rays and
even the very process of life.

2828
03:59:01.959 --> 03:59:07.319
When food is metabolized in cells,
highly reactive oxygen atoms, called free radicals,

2829
03:59:07.680 --> 03:59:13.360
are released, and among the many
chemical elements that damage DNA. The

2830
03:59:13.440 --> 03:59:18.239
world is a dangerous place for life. If we look beyond the localized dangers

2831
03:59:18.319 --> 03:59:22.520
of our planet, there is a
cosmic force always ready to destroy life.

2832
03:59:22.760 --> 03:59:26.840
It is called entropy, the universal
tendency of order to decompose. In disorder,

2833
03:59:28.760 --> 03:59:31.680
entropy arose into existence at the very
moment of the great explosion. From

2834
03:59:31.760 --> 03:59:35.440
the creation of the universe. Heat, light, and all other forms of

2835
03:59:35.520 --> 03:59:43.399
energy have been dissipating, spreading in
time as the universe expands. This tendency

2836
03:59:43.479 --> 03:59:48.520
to spread, to take energy to
less concentrated areas is entropy. Entropy is

2837
03:59:48.639 --> 03:59:54.600
a one- way arrow. When
an old car starts to rust and decompose,

2838
03:59:54.319 --> 04:00:00.920
the process cannot be automatically reversed.
Similarly, an aged body does not

2839
04:00:01.040 --> 04:00:07.440
automatically rejuvenate. When matter and energy
meet in orderly patterns, entropy suffers a

2840
04:00:07.840 --> 04:00:11.680
defeat, but physics has always maintained
that these islands of negative entropy are temporary.

2841
04:00:13.680 --> 04:00:18.680
Even though some of them planets,
star galaxies, resist for a long

2842
04:00:18.600 --> 04:00:22.600
time, sooner or later, stars
run out, planets lose their orbital momentum,

2843
04:00:22.959 --> 04:00:28.639
galaxies dissipate. Planet Earth is an
island of negative entropy that feeds on

2844
04:00:28.680 --> 04:00:33.559
the energy provided by sunlight. When
sunlight no longer exists, we will succumb

2845
04:00:33.639 --> 04:00:39.360
to entropy, cooling to life.
Entropy drags the whole cosmos. At its

2846
04:00:39.440 --> 04:00:45.079
end, then all the energy will
be distributed evenly in the vastness of space

2847
04:00:45.159 --> 04:00:48.040
this ultimate heat death is billions of
years away, but each molecule is driven

2848
04:00:48.159 --> 04:00:54.200
toward it. Some of the most
fundamental constitutive blocks of matter, such as

2849
04:00:54.319 --> 04:01:01.319
proton, have such a long life
n n to decay, while other exotic

2850
04:01:01.399 --> 04:01:07.719
subatomic particles, such as the meson, arise to physical existence a few millionths

2851
04:01:07.879 --> 04:01:13.799
of a second before disappearing again.
The breakdown of order is inherent in the

2852
04:01:13.879 --> 04:01:18.159
physical constitution of the universe. It
is the nucleus of the reason why our

2853
04:01:18.200 --> 04:01:24.079
bodies deteriorate and age over time.
If we want to defeat aging, we

2854
04:01:24.120 --> 04:01:30.319
must first learn to defeat entropy.
The opposite of chaos. The human body

2855
04:01:30.360 --> 04:01:33.360
exists in total defiance of entropy,
as it is incredibly orderly and capable of

2856
04:01:33.399 --> 04:01:39.159
increasing its order with increasing complexity.
Why are we alive, then, to

2857
04:01:39.280 --> 04:01:45.959
begin with, what strength works against
chaos to affirm ever- higher intricacies of

2858
04:01:46.040 --> 04:01:50.280
order. The creation of the human
adn, with its millions and millions of

2859
04:01:50.360 --> 04:01:56.479
chemical bases exactly encoded, depended on
the capacity of less complex chemical elements,

2860
04:01:56.159 --> 04:02:01.440
amino acids and sugars to remain intact
millions of years and persist in the construction

2861
04:02:01.520 --> 04:02:07.280
of increasingly complex molecular chains. These
structures could collapse into any movement, dissolving

2862
04:02:07.399 --> 04:02:13.559
again into quantum soup. The force
of entropy makes no exceptions, pushing everything

2863
04:02:13.600 --> 04:02:20.040
towards dissolution and chaos in purely material
terms. Physics does not describe a force

2864
04:02:20.120 --> 04:02:24.520
that works against entropy. However,
it is obvious that the universe has not

2865
04:02:24.559 --> 04:02:30.280
been limited to expanding after the great
explosion. It' s evolved. The

2866
04:02:30.440 --> 04:02:33.639
primordial hydrogen atoms that emerged into existence
shortly after the great explosion did not content

2867
04:02:33.719 --> 04:02:39.280
themselves with that simple life. They
increased in complexity to form helium atoms,

2868
04:02:39.600 --> 04:02:43.639
whose order remained stable and then led
to even more complex atoms, to reach

2869
04:02:43.959 --> 04:02:48.920
the ultraheavy of uranium and plutonium.
Evolution or growth creates more complex structures from

2870
04:02:48.959 --> 04:02:56.040
the less complex ones. However,
in the theory of evolution a great hole

2871
04:02:56.079 --> 04:03:00.000
was opened before the scientific insistence that
the entire chain of evolution, beginning with

2872
04:03:00.000 --> 04:03:03.879
the simplest algae and bacteria, even
reach the most complex organ of nature.

2873
04:03:05.079 --> 04:03:09.280
The human brain came up by chance. While it may be true that animal

2874
04:03:09.319 --> 04:03:13.280
survival depends on random selection, the
deepest flaws in this explanation are obvious.

2875
04:03:16.760 --> 04:03:20.799
When a baby is conceived, the
fertilized egg repeats the process of cell division

2876
04:03:20.879 --> 04:03:26.959
that has previously produced millions of babies. The growth of a cell until divided

2877
04:03:26.040 --> 04:03:28.920
into two, those, two,
into four, those, four into eight

2878
04:03:30.239 --> 04:03:35.319
and so on is evolution in action. There' s nothing out of it

2879
04:03:35.399 --> 04:03:37.600
at random. Therefore, why we
say that the process that created birth was

2880
04:03:37.680 --> 04:03:43.959
the work of chance. Obviously,
there is an opposing force that drives evolution,

2881
04:03:43.239 --> 04:03:50.000
creating life, holding back the threat
of entropy. That opposing force is

2882
04:03:50.040 --> 04:03:52.159
intelligence, which, on the quantum
plane, is much more than a mental

2883
04:03:52.200 --> 04:03:58.520
phenomenon. Intelligence keeps in order the
plane of each cell in its DNA and

2884
04:03:58.760 --> 04:04:01.600
many scientists now believe that the same
can be said of the entire universe.

2885
04:04:03.559 --> 04:04:07.799
In his cosmeck plumprent book of the
cosmic plan, British physicist pol Davis cites

2886
04:04:07.879 --> 04:04:11.600
many theoretical findings in support of the
new view that the universe organizes and reacts

2887
04:04:11.680 --> 04:04:16.120
to its own events in a way
very similar to that of our cells.

2888
04:04:16.639 --> 04:04:20.479
The cosmos is not limited to expanding
like a globe, it grows like a

2889
04:04:20.600 --> 04:04:26.440
living entity. The universe is revealed
in a new, more inspiring light writes

2890
04:04:26.559 --> 04:04:31.360
Davis, unfolding from its primitive beginnings
and progressing step by step towards increasingly elaborate

2891
04:04:31.399 --> 04:04:37.040
and complex states, something that progresses
shows signs of intelligence. As much as

2892
04:04:37.120 --> 04:04:41.680
the mainstream of science resists using the
term intelligence is synonymous with creative power.

2893
04:04:45.120 --> 04:04:48.600
It enters into our chaos and from
quantum soup forms beautiful symmetries, instills life

2894
04:04:48.600 --> 04:04:56.239
and breath into dead molecules. When
entropy is imposed, intelligence must wane.

2895
04:04:58.040 --> 04:05:03.120
The two forces are in constant battle, as both exist since the great explosion.

2896
04:05:03.479 --> 04:05:07.959
What determines the result of that shock
is born a human baby, which

2897
04:05:07.000 --> 04:05:11.799
is a monumental victory for intelligence,
but the baby one day begins to age,

2898
04:05:11.360 --> 04:05:16.399
which is a victory of entropy.
It is not appropriate to equate aging

2899
04:05:16.479 --> 04:05:20.680
with entropy. Here it is necessary
to make a differentiation, subtle but necessary.

2900
04:05:22.680 --> 04:05:28.680
Creation and destruction coexist in each cell. Some chemical reactions are creative in

2901
04:05:28.760 --> 04:05:31.719
the production of new proteins, for
example, from amino acid component blocks,

2902
04:05:33.360 --> 04:05:39.159
while others are destructive, such as
the digestion process, which breaks down food

2903
04:05:39.239 --> 04:05:43.239
complexes into simpler compounds, or the
metabolism process that burns sugars and releases its

2904
04:05:43.280 --> 04:05:50.399
accumulated energy. Without destruction, life
could not exist. Therefore, aging is

2905
04:05:50.840 --> 04:05:56.040
not simply the destruction of the body. Here is a point of utmost importance

2906
04:05:56.159 --> 04:06:01.319
that ignores those who equate life with
mere play of random material forces. Actually,

2907
04:06:01.760 --> 04:06:05.520
entropy is on the side of life. He plays as one of the

2908
04:06:05.639 --> 04:06:11.879
players in a complex balance of forces. Without intelligence, the balance would be

2909
04:06:11.000 --> 04:06:18.280
lost immediately. For example, there
is a terrible endocrine disorder called progeria,

2910
04:06:18.120 --> 04:06:22.120
caused by the deformation of only one
hundred thousand genes of a newborn baby.

2911
04:06:22.840 --> 04:06:31.360
Progeria extremely rare disease leads to rapid
aging. Wrinkles, baldness, muscle loss,

2912
04:06:31.840 --> 04:06:37.639
and hardening of arteries begin to appear
in early childhood. By the age

2913
04:06:37.840 --> 04:06:41.440
of 12, the child affected by
progeria may have suffered massive thrombosis or be

2914
04:06:41.520 --> 04:06:46.520
a candidate for orthocoronary referral. Death
occurs very early, usually before the age

2915
04:06:46.600 --> 04:06:54.440
of twenty. Progeria is the horribly
accelerated drastic entropy, and that happens by

2916
04:06:54.520 --> 04:06:58.360
altering a single gene A tiny speck
in the body' s intelligence pattern.

2917
04:06:58.920 --> 04:07:03.799
By breaking the balance that each cell
must maintain in order to remain alive,

2918
04:07:03.319 --> 04:07:09.000
the forces of disorder are unleashed.
The same lesson applies to normal aging as

2919
04:07:09.920 --> 04:07:13.120
long as the body can be renewed
according to its plane of order. Entropy

2920
04:07:13.239 --> 04:07:18.719
is countered when an old cell of
the stomach or foot is broken down is

2921
04:07:18.799 --> 04:07:22.600
replaced Each time a food particle is
metabolized it is secreted into waste and the

2922
04:07:22.760 --> 04:07:28.840
new food is already broken down.
We call this balance of creation and destruction

2923
04:07:28.920 --> 04:07:33.639
no dynamic change. In other words, change takes place within a stable framework.

2924
04:07:35.360 --> 04:07:39.680
As far as our body is concerned, this state of sixty- eight

2925
04:07:39.840 --> 04:07:43.559
does not change dynamically. It is
crucial to break the balance in any direction

2926
04:07:43.639 --> 04:07:48.520
equals disaster. Lack of change leads
to death, excessive change to a savage

2927
04:07:48.760 --> 04:07:54.120
disorder, as when a cancerous cell
begins to divide indiscriminately until it invades vital

2928
04:07:54.239 --> 04:07:58.440
tissues and causes its own destruction,
along with that of the rest of the

2929
04:07:58.520 --> 04:08:03.479
body. Every cell knows how to
defeat entropy by bringing intelligence to the rescue

2930
04:08:03.639 --> 04:08:07.639
every time the disorder gets in the
way. The most critical example is that

2931
04:08:07.680 --> 04:08:13.680
provided by the same adn. For
a long time it was thought to be

2932
04:08:13.799 --> 04:08:16.879
an inert chemical element that remained unchanged
in the nucleus of the cell. Now

2933
04:08:16.920 --> 04:08:22.559
it is known that DNA has a
remarkable capacity for self- repair. Faced

2934
04:08:22.600 --> 04:08:26.000
with the attack of free radicals and
other harmful influences. At least seven different

2935
04:08:26.079 --> 04:08:31.799
types of error may appear in a
DNA filament. You can imagine DNA as

2936
04:08:33.000 --> 04:08:37.760
a computer tape whose information becomes convoluted
by breaking, twisting, or wrinkling.

2937
04:08:39.319 --> 04:08:43.280
If genes passively accept that damage as
any other chemical element, the information encoded

2938
04:08:43.319 --> 04:08:48.760
in the double spiral would become increasingly
confusing, making an orderly life impossible.

2939
04:08:50.559 --> 04:08:56.760
But DNA has learned to repair.
It can only perceive exactly what type of

2940
04:08:56.840 --> 04:09:01.879
damage has occurred and by means of
its most special replenishes on site due to

2941
04:09:01.959 --> 04:09:09.280
the appropriate links. This amazing display
of intelligence has been directly related to human

2942
04:09:09.360 --> 04:09:15.159
aging. If you draw a graph
of the life expectancy of various animals,

2943
04:09:15.639 --> 04:09:20.120
starting with ranges and mouse, to
continue with elephant cows and end with man,

2944
04:09:20.719 --> 04:09:24.799
the resulting curve corresponds almost perfectly to
the ability of each animal' s

2945
04:09:24.920 --> 04:09:30.959
DNA to repair itself. The long
tail range, for example, has an

2946
04:09:31.040 --> 04:09:33.799
extremely short life span, almost always
less than a year, while humans have

2947
04:09:33.920 --> 04:09:39.200
the longest life of all mammals,
with a known maximum of between one hundred

2948
04:09:39.319 --> 04:09:43.600
and fifteen and one hundred and twenty
years at the beginning of the seventy-

2949
04:09:43.799 --> 04:09:50.520
two young gerontologists John Heart and Bethel
Zerlow, exposed the DNA of various animals

2950
04:09:50.600 --> 04:09:54.159
to ultraviolet light in order to cause
a specific type of damage. Certain adjacent

2951
04:09:54.239 --> 04:09:58.639
molecules of the DNA filament merged unnaturally
l s s S. S. L.

2952
04:09:58.799 --> 04:10:03.680
So they calculated what degree of repair
occurred in the period of one hour.

2953
04:10:03.719 --> 04:10:07.920
In fact, the cells of the
range were repaired more slowly than those

2954
04:10:07.000 --> 04:10:11.680
of the mouse, who lives somewhat
more. The speed of repair increased in

2955
04:10:11.760 --> 04:10:16.479
cows and elephants, culminating with humans
with the fastest known rate of genetic repair.

2956
04:10:20.719 --> 04:10:26.079
Later, Dr. Edwardshnatter of National
entrchit sonnage at National Institutes on Ageing

2957
04:10:26.120 --> 04:10:31.959
verified that older cells were repaired much
less efficiently than young women. The general

2958
04:10:33.040 --> 04:10:37.959
conclusion is that aging results from the
inability, already the dn to keep up

2959
04:10:39.000 --> 04:10:43.280
with the damage that constantly suffers millions
of times a year. If this is

2960
04:10:43.360 --> 04:10:48.120
how the balance of forces yields within
us, why does nature allow this to

2961
04:10:48.239 --> 04:10:52.920
continue. If a human cell has
an efficiency of ninety- nine percent for

2962
04:10:54.040 --> 04:10:58.200
self- repair, why evolution did
not complete the remaining deficit. This is

2963
04:10:58.280 --> 04:11:03.920
a disconcerting question, for to answer
it it would be necessary to know the

2964
04:11:03.040 --> 04:11:07.479
secret of life itself. What we
can say is that, in the course

2965
04:11:07.520 --> 04:11:11.040
of a lifetime, each of our
cells suffers more damage than it can repair.

2966
04:11:11.799 --> 04:11:16.840
Ageing is the result of this deficit. If the cells will always be

2967
04:11:16.920 --> 04:11:20.200
repaired to perfection, each cell would
be as new as on the day of

2968
04:11:20.319 --> 04:11:26.680
our birth and we would never age. This implies that, avoiding as many

2969
04:11:26.760 --> 04:11:31.559
genetic errors as possible, we would
avoid the result of those errors the aging

2970
04:11:31.559 --> 04:11:37.040
process. Looking from the plane of
intelligence. Your cells want to be new

2971
04:11:37.120 --> 04:11:41.959
at every moment, but old cells
are sown with past errors that have taken

2972
04:11:43.079 --> 04:11:48.559
the physical form of toxic wastes,
accumulated pigments, cross- link molecules and

2973
04:11:48.639 --> 04:11:52.559
damaged adn. These pieces of rigid
matter no longer flow or change as necessary

2974
04:11:52.680 --> 04:11:58.959
for life. In this section we
will see the living plane of the body

2975
04:11:58.000 --> 04:12:03.639
that is made of intelligence to discover
how it allows errors to occur. There

2976
04:12:03.680 --> 04:12:07.280
is no biological need to do so, and there are many techniques to correct

2977
04:12:07.319 --> 04:12:13.040
and avoid them. Unlike the range, the rat, the cow, or

2978
04:12:13.159 --> 04:12:18.879
the elephant, you are not confined
to a fixed genetic repair index. According

2979
04:12:18.959 --> 04:12:22.399
to the new paradigm, your whole
body is a field of consciousness and the

2980
04:12:22.479 --> 04:12:26.440
activity within your cell suffers the direct
influence of your thoughts and actions. You

2981
04:12:26.479 --> 04:12:31.719
' re intruding your DNA through the
chemical messages your brain sends, and these

2982
04:12:31.799 --> 04:12:37.920
messages directly affect the transmission of DNA
information. A lasting legacy of mind and

2983
04:12:37.040 --> 04:12:41.920
body research carried out over the past
twenty years is that we have a very

2984
04:12:41.000 --> 04:12:46.399
precise notion of how intelligence information is
produced in physiology. We no longer doubt

2985
04:12:46.440 --> 04:12:52.120
that invisible volutes of thoughts and emotions
alter the fundamental biochemistry of all cells.

2986
04:12:52.639 --> 04:12:56.799
This knowledge awakens the hope that the
error of aging can be abolished at its

2987
04:12:56.840 --> 04:13:03.200
very source, in the depths of
that of cellular consciousness wrinkles in the quantum

2988
04:13:03.280 --> 04:13:09.639
field, the transformation of messages into
molecules to follow the trail to entropy.

2989
04:13:11.319 --> 04:13:13.799
From the visible to the quantum plane. We can examine one of the symptoms

2990
04:13:13.879 --> 04:13:18.920
of aging, wrinkles. When standing
before the mirror in the bathroom, study

2991
04:13:20.000 --> 04:13:24.760
the tiny wrinkles that form with age
in the corners of the eyes or around

2992
04:13:24.840 --> 04:13:30.920
the mouth. The lines on your
face are old bozan and known emotions.

2993
04:13:31.399 --> 04:13:35.200
The map of anxiety, anger,
frustration, satisfaction, happiness and joy is

2994
04:13:35.280 --> 04:13:41.639
more deeply engraved on the skin with
each passing year. Wrinkles should indicate only

2995
04:13:41.760 --> 04:13:46.360
where there have been smiles, commented
Mark Twain. But even if each wrinkle

2996
04:13:46.440 --> 04:13:52.520
was the trace of a smile,
as formed for a cell biologist, the

2997
04:13:52.879 --> 04:13:56.479
cause of wrinkles is found in the
cell structure. Your skin is made up

2998
04:13:56.559 --> 04:14:01.840
of many types of tissue, vessels, blood, nerves, follicles, hairy

2999
04:14:01.200 --> 04:14:05.079
muscles that erect the hair and make
chicken skin, fat cells, and two

3000
04:14:05.159 --> 04:14:09.879
layers of epithelial cells. The dermis
and the epidermis. All this is surrounded

3001
04:14:11.000 --> 04:14:16.440
by water and loose connective tissue.
This connective tissue consists mainly of collagen,

3002
04:14:16.959 --> 04:14:22.440
a protein that has the very useful
property of binding with water. The glue

3003
04:14:22.479 --> 04:14:26.360
does not provide the skin with a
soft and moist padding that, in addition

3004
04:14:26.440 --> 04:14:28.399
to giving it thickness, gives it
the ability to stretch and fold. When

3005
04:14:28.479 --> 04:14:33.719
the body moves, the collagen itself
is not made of cells, but it

3006
04:14:33.120 --> 04:14:37.639
is the nearby cells that produce and
repair it. Therefore, the state of

3007
04:14:37.760 --> 04:14:43.360
this connective tissue is under the supervision
of DNA. When people age collage,

3008
04:14:43.920 --> 04:14:48.760
it does not undergo changes, becoming
more rigid and less humid. By losing

3009
04:14:48.760 --> 04:14:54.559
adaptability, it no longer returns to
its place When it stretches or folds it

3010
04:14:54.600 --> 04:15:01.559
begins to retain wrinkles that become permanent
the theory of free radicals. There are

3011
04:15:01.639 --> 04:15:07.079
many physical influences that can accelerate collagen
aging, excessive exposure to sunlight smoking,

3012
04:15:07.760 --> 04:15:11.639
vitamin deficiency, malnutrition, dehydration,
a poorly active thyroid, and genetic predisposition

3013
04:15:11.639 --> 04:15:20.920
to name only a few. However, there is no clear division between these

3014
04:15:20.959 --> 04:15:26.479
influences and psychological factors. A widow
crying to her husband can consume herself and

3015
04:15:26.520 --> 04:15:31.719
wrinkle very soon. The skin of
the cancerous person undergoing chemotherapy may age prematurely

3016
04:15:31.760 --> 04:15:35.639
both because of the collateral effect of
drugs and because of his state of emotional

3017
04:15:35.639 --> 04:15:41.879
confusion. What these various influences have
in common that all can facilitate a specific

3018
04:15:41.959 --> 04:15:46.440
type of error in the molecular structure
of collagen. Different collagen molecules are attached

3019
04:15:46.520 --> 04:15:50.680
to each other by a process known
as a chemical action link, which permanently

3020
04:15:50.799 --> 04:15:56.879
closes the outer atomic shell of collagen. The cause of the link lies in

3021
04:15:56.959 --> 04:16:02.719
the destructive tendency of free radicals.
Those highly unstable oxygen atoms that bind indiscriminately

3022
04:16:02.840 --> 04:16:08.319
to many molecules vital to the body, including DNA. In the mid-

3023
04:16:08.479 --> 04:16:12.559
fifties, Anamhamen' s doctor,
a researcher at the University of Nebraska,

3024
04:16:12.760 --> 04:16:17.600
was the first to elaborate the theory
that free radicals are an important and even

3025
04:16:17.680 --> 04:16:23.280
primordial cause of aging in the cellular
plane. The link is just one example

3026
04:16:23.360 --> 04:16:29.280
of the damage they can inflict.
Free radicals can also disintegrate nearby molecules,

3027
04:16:29.719 --> 04:16:33.559
release pieces of molecules, confuse information
in various parts of cells, bind cell

3028
04:16:33.559 --> 04:16:40.239
membranes, facilitate cancer mutations, and
make it difficult for the mitochondria to function

3029
04:16:40.319 --> 04:16:47.479
in energy factories within each cell.
Some cholesterol researchers believe that free radicals are

3030
04:16:47.600 --> 04:16:53.079
responsible for the damage that cholesterol does
to the body. In the laboratory environment.

3031
04:16:53.799 --> 04:16:57.680
It is almost impossible to get the
cells to receive cholesterol in their normal

3032
04:16:57.680 --> 04:17:02.399
form, but once ns, free
radicals react with oxidizing it by the same

3033
04:17:02.520 --> 04:17:06.440
process that comes back rancid by greasing
the cells, they absorb it very soon

3034
04:17:07.319 --> 04:17:11.799
as sharks round the cell. Free
radicals attack almost any molecule. The extent

3035
04:17:11.879 --> 04:17:15.360
of the damage they do is so
wide that the theory of aging by free

3036
04:17:15.479 --> 04:17:22.639
radicals has grown in popularity with every
decade. Free radicals provide an excellent example

3037
04:17:22.719 --> 04:17:26.079
of functioning entropy, as the changes
they produce tend to be irreversible and permanent.

3038
04:17:27.840 --> 04:17:33.120
Wrinkled skin is less orderly than unwrinkled
skin and usually does not repair itself.

3039
04:17:34.280 --> 04:17:37.760
Similarly, when you break a plate, the damage suffered by the plate

3040
04:17:37.799 --> 04:17:45.479
is irreversible. This is due to
that entropy follows the arrow of time.

3041
04:17:45.440 --> 04:17:52.559
Once something orderly breaks down the scattered
matter and energy will not automatically meet again.

3042
04:17:55.040 --> 04:17:57.959
The future only offers more disorder.
The pieces of broken dishes will end

3043
04:17:59.040 --> 04:18:03.959
up breaking into smaller flakes. The
aged skin will end up with wilting and

3044
04:18:03.959 --> 04:18:10.239
dying. Paradoxically, free radicals are
necessary for life chemically, free radicals of

3045
04:18:10.360 --> 04:18:15.399
the body are generally unstable variations of
the oxygen atom. The most common examples

3046
04:18:15.440 --> 04:18:18.639
are hydrogen peroxide and oxidyl, which
vary with respect to their stable parent by

3047
04:18:18.719 --> 04:18:25.840
having an additional electrical charge in the
outer shell. This seemingly minor alteration makes

3048
04:18:25.920 --> 04:18:30.920
free radicals want to bind instantly to
nearby molecules in order to compensate for the

3049
04:18:30.000 --> 04:18:37.159
extra load and become stable. Therefore, a free radical is actually a temporary

3050
04:18:37.520 --> 04:18:41.559
stop which leads from one stable molecule
to another. The normal life of these

3051
04:18:41.639 --> 04:18:48.399
unstable particles can be measured thousand and
more than a second. Each cell emits

3052
04:18:48.440 --> 04:18:56.799
millions of these fleeting molecules by processing
vital oxygen by metabolizing food. If free

3053
04:18:56.920 --> 04:19:03.000
radicals are so pernicious, why does
the body produce them. Far from being

3054
04:19:03.120 --> 04:19:07.319
lost bullets running around the cell,
free radicals play their part in the overall

3055
04:19:07.440 --> 04:19:12.360
balance of the body. In some
cases they are extremely beneficial. White cells

3056
04:19:12.440 --> 04:19:17.440
in the immune system use them to
bind with bacteria and viruses to kill these

3057
04:19:17.520 --> 04:19:22.239
invaders. In that role, the
tendency of free radicals to link up with

3058
04:19:22.319 --> 04:19:26.799
what they have in sight saves our
lives to protect themselves from harm. Every

3059
04:19:26.879 --> 04:19:33.040
cell produces on tops that degrade,
neutralize and detoxify free radicals. Among these

3060
04:19:33.079 --> 04:19:38.000
predators of free radicals and include several
antioxidants, such as superoxide, desmutase and

3061
04:19:38.040 --> 04:19:42.479
catatase, which can bind to millions
of highly reactive oxygen and turn them synocos

3062
04:19:42.559 --> 04:19:48.959
before they attack a vulnerable molecule.
Again, the real issue in question is

3063
04:19:48.000 --> 04:19:55.079
the balance between creation and destruction,
not the molecules or the chemical reactions involved

3064
04:19:55.159 --> 04:20:02.360
in the very origin of the With
the appearance of a simple bacterium, nature

3065
04:20:02.360 --> 04:20:08.159
had already imagined how to counter free
radicals by generating antioxidant peaks. If this

3066
04:20:08.239 --> 04:20:12.840
caution had not been taken, the
oxygen in our atmosphere might well have annihilated

3067
04:20:12.920 --> 04:20:18.879
the possibility of life on earth.
Instead, thanks to cellular intelligence, which

3068
04:20:18.879 --> 04:20:26.520
pushes against entropy, oxygen made life
possible. Thanks to the success of the

3069
04:20:26.520 --> 04:20:30.760
book Life Extension, published in nineteen
hundred and eighty- three by Durk piers

3070
04:20:30.760 --> 04:20:34.440
En and Cendisha, millions of people
have become familiar with the theory of aging

3071
04:20:34.440 --> 04:20:37.879
by free radicals. The premise of
their approach is that free radicals are the

3072
04:20:37.920 --> 04:20:41.159
enemies of the body. Therefore,
readers are urged to be medicated with a

3073
04:20:41.239 --> 04:20:48.479
wide variety of antioxidants. However,
the eminent Japanese research physician, I,

3074
04:20:48.639 --> 04:20:52.799
who is equal loyal advocate of free
radical theory, has shown in the laboratory

3075
04:20:52.879 --> 04:20:56.600
that if it is a cell culture
with antioxidants, little effect is usually achieved

3076
04:20:56.680 --> 04:21:03.239
in reducing the production of free radicals. Even less effective would be for a

3077
04:21:03.399 --> 04:21:10.159
person to swallow those antioxidants. Many
would be nullified by digestive juices in the

3078
04:21:10.239 --> 04:21:14.120
mouth, stomach, and intestines long
before they reach the cells they should protect.

3079
04:21:15.520 --> 04:21:19.360
Still, life- promoters swallow all
kinds of antioxidants in the form of

3080
04:21:19.440 --> 04:21:26.639
vitamins, additives, and prescription drugs. Among the preferred ones are vitamins that

3081
04:21:26.639 --> 04:21:30.479
follow, two substances that Dr Nigua
found especially ineffective when applied to cells in

3082
04:21:30.520 --> 04:21:34.559
test tubes. The irony is that
life- prolongers tend to be very healthy

3083
04:21:34.639 --> 04:21:37.959
people, of whom they previously considered
that additives should be banned on bread.

3084
04:21:41.120 --> 04:21:47.520
The cookies the cereals and other foods
now prepared to follow the dictates of the

3085
04:21:47.600 --> 04:21:52.079
prolongation of life, those same people
are inferring preservatives such as BHT and BH

3086
04:21:52.159 --> 04:21:56.520
in massive quantities compared to the few
parts per million necessary to prevent a loaf

3087
04:21:56.600 --> 04:22:03.879
of bread from returning to rancid.
On the shelf of the warehouse there are

3088
04:22:03.920 --> 04:22:08.200
more exotic drugs with antioxidant properties such
as EDOPA and bromocritin, none of which

3089
04:22:08.239 --> 04:22:15.239
was originally developed for the purpose of
delaying aging. Each of them is a

3090
04:22:15.360 --> 04:22:19.559
potent drug full of side effects and
can cause permanent damage and are taken in

3091
04:22:19.600 --> 04:22:25.959
excessive doses or too long. The
life- prolonging pharmacy does not stop there

3092
04:22:26.200 --> 04:22:30.719
Let us add other favorite supplements against
old age, such as beta carotene,

3093
04:22:30.920 --> 04:22:37.920
the whole vitamin B complex sinti selenium, and we will supposedly be armed with

3094
04:22:38.360 --> 04:22:44.159
the best scientifically consecrated defense against self- destruction of the body through free radicals.

3095
04:22:45.760 --> 04:22:48.600
But why believe, for starters,
that the body is self- destructive.

3096
04:22:49.559 --> 04:22:55.520
I think that whole life extension company
overlooks the main thing. The damage

3097
04:22:55.559 --> 04:22:59.680
caused by free radicals is not causal, but secondary, as well as the

3098
04:22:59.840 --> 04:23:03.639
rod fired by a gun is not
responsible for having pulled the trigger. In

3099
04:23:03.719 --> 04:23:10.440
its normal state, the body controls
free radicals without problems. Your body doesn

3100
04:23:10.559 --> 04:23:14.719
' t fight blindly to defend its
life against bad chemical elements. That idea

3101
04:23:14.879 --> 04:23:18.959
is too simplistic. If you could
see a cell when it produces its myriad

3102
04:23:19.079 --> 04:23:23.479
of free radicals and submerged antioxidants,
all at the same time, you'

3103
04:23:23.520 --> 04:23:29.440
d see that both float in the
same environment, not as loose hidden cannons,

3104
04:23:30.159 --> 04:23:34.680
but tightly guarded and controlled by the
superlative intelligence of DNA Both are kept

3105
04:23:34.719 --> 04:23:38.360
in balance and used according to need. If free radicals have such a great

3106
04:23:38.440 --> 04:23:44.479
appeal to scientists, the main reason
they are things fill our need for physical

3107
04:23:44.520 --> 04:23:49.120
objects that can be weighed, measured
and labeled. It cannot be denied that

3108
04:23:49.239 --> 04:23:55.000
free radical damage occurs and is suspiciously
linked to aging, along with cancer and

3109
04:23:55.079 --> 04:24:00.920
heart disease, the main causes of
death. However, older people have not

3110
04:24:00.959 --> 04:24:04.879
been shown to necessarily have higher levels
of free radicals in their cells or lower

3111
04:24:04.920 --> 04:24:11.959
levels of antioxidants. What I would
like to suggest is that damage by free

3112
04:24:11.079 --> 04:24:15.360
radicals is just a kind of imbalance
between those that can occur in the plane

3113
04:24:15.440 --> 04:24:21.079
of cellular intelligence. When the balance
leans toward entropy. If the intelligence of

3114
04:24:21.159 --> 04:24:23.840
the body is in full force,
disorder and chaos do not attack the cells,

3115
04:24:25.040 --> 04:24:32.079
the basic premise of the prolongation of
life. Avoiding damage by free radicals

3116
04:24:32.200 --> 04:24:37.879
before it occurs is valid. However, to do so we must learn to

3117
04:24:37.959 --> 04:24:45.760
directly influence the exercise cellular intelligence.
Working against entropy one of the simplest ways

3118
04:24:45.879 --> 04:24:49.399
to avoid entropy is to give the
body something to do. Physics opposes entropy

3119
04:24:49.479 --> 04:24:56.440
with work, which is defined as
orderly application of energy. Without work,

3120
04:24:56.559 --> 04:25:00.799
energy simply dissipates. We have already
seen that physical and mental neglect, disuse

3121
04:25:00.879 --> 04:25:07.000
syndrome, favors premature aging. There
is no group that is at higher risk

3122
04:25:07.000 --> 04:25:11.959
of depression, illness, and premature
death than that of completely sedentary people.

3123
04:25:11.360 --> 04:25:15.079
At present, the value of regular
exercise for all ages is well documented.

3124
04:25:17.840 --> 04:25:22.600
In other times, physiologists believed that
exercise benefited us primarily in youth, when

3125
04:25:22.639 --> 04:25:29.239
muscles are in their best stage of
development. However, research with elders has

3126
04:25:29.319 --> 04:25:33.799
clearly shown that at any age and
even among the centennials. The person who

3127
04:25:33.879 --> 04:25:41.239
exercises will receive himself an increase in
strength, endurance and muscle mass. By

3128
04:25:41.319 --> 04:25:48.280
the way, this applies to both
men and women. In the past,

3129
04:25:48.719 --> 04:25:52.479
almost all exercise research was conducted on
men, but it has now been established

3130
04:25:52.600 --> 04:25:57.559
that women also need to stay active
at all ages. One of the special

3131
04:25:57.600 --> 04:26:02.840
advantages of impaired exercise in which it
can reverse the previous effects of entropy.

3132
04:26:03.799 --> 04:26:08.239
Researchers at the University of Taffts,
where the U S federal government sponsors a

3133
04:26:08.319 --> 04:26:12.520
large center for the study of human
aging, have shown that the principles such

3134
04:26:12.600 --> 04:26:18.319
symptoms of biological aging can be improved
by increasing the activity of the effect is

3135
04:26:18.440 --> 04:26:22.559
increased with a secondary emphasis with the
improvement of the diet. Two scientists from

3136
04:26:22.639 --> 04:26:27.120
Taffts, William Bevens and Brian Rosenberg, have outlined these findings in their biomarkers

3137
04:26:27.200 --> 04:26:32.920
book. The title refers to the
ten age markers that are now considered reversible.

3138
04:26:34.920 --> 04:26:41.879
Thin muscle mass, strength, basal
metabolism rate body fat, aerobic capacity,

3139
04:26:42.520 --> 04:26:49.760
blood pressure, blood sugar tolerance,
cholesterol ratio, diagonal bar, HDL,

3140
04:26:49.959 --> 04:26:59.680
bone density, body temperature regulation.
These markers typically get worse when we

3141
04:26:59.680 --> 04:27:03.440
get older. There are many variations
between different individuals. However, before TAF

3142
04:27:03.479 --> 04:27:07.639
findings emerged, normal aging was considered
to include the following one more muscle.

3143
04:27:11.879 --> 04:27:15.840
The average American loses three kilos of
muscle per decade from the young adult age.

3144
04:27:17.920 --> 04:27:22.159
The loss rate increases after forty-
five years two force older people are

3145
04:27:23.239 --> 04:27:26.680
less strong because the beams of muscles
and motor nerves, called motor units,

3146
04:27:26.719 --> 04:27:33.520
have been deteriorating. Between the ages
of thirty and seventy. The average person

3147
04:27:33.680 --> 04:27:37.000
loses twenty percent of the motor units
of muscles with similar losses in all muscle

3148
04:27:37.120 --> 04:27:44.639
groups, large and small throughout the
body. Three cups of basal metabolism,

3149
04:27:45.639 --> 04:27:48.920
the basal metabolic rate, how many
calories the body needs to maintain itself deteriorates

3150
04:27:49.040 --> 04:27:56.840
to two percent per decade from the
age of twenty four body fat. Between

3151
04:27:56.920 --> 04:28:00.760
the ages of twenty and sixty-
five, the average person doubles his or

3152
04:28:00.840 --> 04:28:04.280
her fat ratio with respect to muscle
mass. Sedentary life and excesses in eating

3153
04:28:04.360 --> 04:28:12.040
can raise this ratio even more five. Aerobic capacity at sixty- five years

3154
04:28:12.159 --> 04:28:17.840
of age, the body' s
ability to efficiently utilize oxygen declines from thirty

3155
04:28:17.920 --> 04:28:25.319
to forty- six percent. Blood
pressure. Most Americans have an even increase

3156
04:28:25.399 --> 04:28:33.479
in blood pressure with age seven blood
sugar tolerance. The body' s ability

3157
04:28:33.559 --> 04:28:37.479
to use blood glucose declines over the
years, raising the risk of producing type

3158
04:28:37.559 --> 04:28:45.799
two diabetes eight ratio cholesterol diagonal bar

the age of fifty, about. Good

body from heart disease loses ground to bad

3161
04:28:55.559 --> 04:29:02.799
LDL cholesterol, which increases the risk
of heart attack nine density. Bones tend

3162
04:29:03.760 --> 04:29:07.799
to lose calcium with age, making
the skeleton weaker, less dense, and

3163
04:29:07.799 --> 04:29:14.280
more brittle. This trend, if
it goes too far, becomes the disease

3164
04:29:14.319 --> 04:29:22.319
called osteoporosis. Ten body temperature regulation. The body' s ability to maintain

3165
04:29:22.440 --> 04:29:26.399
a stable internal temperature of 37 degrees
weakens with age, making the elderly more

3166
04:29:26.440 --> 04:29:32.280
vulnerable to both heat and cold.
When the Taffs team discovered that the ten

3167
04:29:32.360 --> 04:29:36.680
biomarkers could be reversed in older people, they offered broad support for the benefits

3168
04:29:36.760 --> 04:29:41.680
of the exercise. Evan if the
Usenberg, consider that the most important are

3169
04:29:41.719 --> 04:29:45.040
the first two more muscle and strength, because the tendency of the body to

3170
04:29:45.120 --> 04:29:48.799
double its fat and to lose half
of the muscle mass towards sixty- five

3171
04:29:48.840 --> 04:29:55.200
or seventy years create many of the
other problems of metabolism. Traditionally, one

3172
04:29:55.239 --> 04:29:59.200
of the classic markers of aging has
been the deterioration of lean parts and medical

3173
04:29:59.479 --> 04:30:03.239
eXpressures that designates all tissues that are
not fat, i e bones, muscles

3174
04:30:03.239 --> 04:30:11.440
and vital organs. With every decade
of life From adult youth. The average

3175
04:30:11.520 --> 04:30:17.159
American loses three kilos of lean parts. Many of the people who gain weight

3176
04:30:17.200 --> 04:30:19.360
more and more from adulthood assume that
their problem is an excess of fat.

3177
04:30:22.559 --> 04:30:27.200
For Taffts researchers, the real problem
is a combination of excess fat with very

3178
04:30:27.280 --> 04:30:33.959
little lean parts, especially muscles.
Fat and muscle tissue do not share the

3179
04:30:34.079 --> 04:30:41.639
same metabolism. Comparatively, fat is
much more inactive. It serves as energy

3180
04:30:41.719 --> 04:30:48.040
accumulator tissue, while muscle is energy
consuming tissue. If you were a member

3181
04:30:48.200 --> 04:30:52.760
of a prehistoric city of hunters and
harvesters, it would be useful to have

3182
04:30:52.840 --> 04:30:56.920
a thick layer of fat in your
body. The accumulated energies provide the body

3183
04:30:56.040 --> 04:31:00.319
with a fuel reserve for hambrone times
and its insulating vacity layer retains body heat

3184
04:31:00.399 --> 04:31:06.239
in winter, but being biologically much
less active, fat is poorly suited to

3185
04:31:06.319 --> 04:31:11.520
modern life requires far fewer calories to
maintain than muscle tissue. This also applies

3186
04:31:11.600 --> 04:31:15.639
to the other components of lean parts, bones, and vital organs, but

3187
04:31:15.639 --> 04:31:21.600
to a lesser degree. Whoever has
more muscle than fat will have a faster

3188
04:31:21.760 --> 04:31:27.879
metabolic rate. Therefore, you can
eat more without gaining weight. Gerontologists have

3189
04:31:27.920 --> 04:31:33.200
found that the muscle has a lot
of responsibility for the overall vitality of the

3190
04:31:33.479 --> 04:31:37.840
body, more than was even supposed
among doctors, based on their research.

3191
04:31:37.920 --> 04:31:41.920
Evans and Lousen shame argue that muscle
mass is critical. Along with strength they

3192
04:31:42.239 --> 04:31:48.040
claim that by acquiring muscles in advanced
years, the elderly can significantly rejuvenate their

3193
04:31:48.159 --> 04:31:52.600
entire physiology. Since the proportion of
loss of lean parts accelerates from the age

3194
04:31:52.719 --> 04:31:56.239
of forty- five, the TAFT
team concentrates on large- scale exercise programs

3195
04:31:56.319 --> 04:32:00.600
for the age groups over forty-
five, investing in our social programming,

3196
04:32:00.040 --> 04:32:10.239
according to which vigorous physical activity corresponds
to young people. The loss of muscle

3197
04:32:10.360 --> 04:32:15.000
strength was previously considered inevitable as age
increased, muscle groups throughout the body are

3198
04:32:15.040 --> 04:32:22.000
connected to the central nervous system.
Through nerves. Engines, nerves and muscles

3199
04:32:22.079 --> 04:32:26.879
together make up the motor units.
By studying transverse cuts of muscle tissue,

3200
04:32:26.280 --> 04:32:33.360
physiologists determined that motor units are lost
over the years. The TAFS group decisively

3201
04:32:33.440 --> 04:32:38.200
proved that this trend can be reversed. Twelve men, aged between sixty and

3202
04:32:38.280 --> 04:32:41.920
seventy- two years, were subjected
to three weekly weight- lifting sessions under

3203
04:32:41.959 --> 04:32:49.440
supervision. For three months they were
asked to train at eighty percent of their

3204
04:32:49.520 --> 04:32:55.879
maximum repetition, the greatest weight they
could lift from an attempt. By the

3205
04:32:55.920 --> 04:33:00.399
end of the experiment, the strength
of the men had increased dramatically, the

3206
04:33:00.440 --> 04:33:03.159
size of their quadriceps was more than
double and the poplets had grown to more

3207
04:33:03.240 --> 04:33:08.080
than triple. At the end of
the program, these elders could lift boxes

3208
04:33:08.159 --> 04:33:11.400
heavier than the twenty- five-
year- olds who worked in the laboratory.

3209
04:33:12.319 --> 04:33:15.919
The same success was achieved with a
softer weight lifting program for people over

3210
04:33:17.000 --> 04:33:22.240
the age of ninety- five.
The clear implication is that we must re

3211
04:33:22.639 --> 04:33:26.720
- examine our idea of taking things
easy. As you age the same exercise

3212
04:33:26.799 --> 04:33:32.040
regimen that develops muscles has a sacred
effect and helps to bring the other biomarkers

3213
04:33:32.119 --> 04:33:37.720
online. Blood pressure and blood subkar
tolerance improved, the typical metabolic decline of

3214
04:33:37.959 --> 04:33:41.439
old age was reversed and the body' s ability to regulate its internal temperature

3215
04:33:41.520 --> 04:33:48.080
stabilized. Good physical condition is also
intimately related to general well- being,

3216
04:33:48.360 --> 04:33:52.479
although this was not the primary objective. The TAFS team had the joy of

3217
04:33:52.560 --> 04:33:56.319
discovering that their subjects felt much younger
and in a better mood than in many

3218
04:33:56.439 --> 04:34:03.560
years. How much exercise is needed
to achieve these benefits. In the laboratory,

3219
04:34:04.000 --> 04:34:07.959
the type of activity varied widely according
to what was studied. Just twenty

3220
04:34:08.040 --> 04:34:12.959
minutes walk three times a week improved
the cholesterol ratio, diagonal bar hd it.

3221
04:34:14.919 --> 04:34:18.959
But exercise, to be more effective, must be indicated individually, taking

3222
04:34:18.360 --> 04:34:23.400
into account weight, age, and
physical condition. If we look back on

3223
04:34:23.439 --> 04:34:30.040
history, the benefits of maintaining physical
activity throughout life were evident in ancient times

3224
04:34:30.119 --> 04:34:37.479
in societies of hunters and harvesters.
Our human ancestors stood tall and upright.

3225
04:34:38.000 --> 04:34:41.880
They had excellent bones and muscles that
they kept at all ages. The widespread

3226
04:34:41.959 --> 04:34:47.319
incidence of arthritis is a flagrant exception. Osteoporosis, on the other hand,

3227
04:34:47.919 --> 04:34:52.360
was virtually unknown. Everyone remained in
good condition and physically active until the end

3228
04:34:52.479 --> 04:34:57.680
of life. Compare this with modern
North America, where health promoters spread the

3229
04:34:57.759 --> 04:35:02.159
concept of keeping themselves in good condition
for life, while statistics reveal that forty

3230
04:35:02.479 --> 04:35:08.840
percent of adult Americans are completely sedentary. The percentage is much higher among the

3231
04:35:08.919 --> 04:35:14.040
elderly and only 20 percent can be
considered active in a reasonable sense the value

3232
04:35:14.200 --> 04:35:21.639
of the balance. Before deciding that
the way to avoid aging is to work

3233
04:35:21.759 --> 04:35:26.720
hard, keep in mind that work
according to physics is not synonymous with sweat

3234
04:35:26.799 --> 04:35:32.520
and effort. Work is needed to
create order and oppose the force of entropy.

3235
04:35:33.200 --> 04:35:37.919
Exercise has a quantum effect no matter
how much or how little you do,

3236
04:35:37.599 --> 04:35:42.240
it gives the body the chance to
restore subtle operating patterns. The quantum

3237
04:35:42.360 --> 04:35:49.159
nature of exercise has emerged slowly through
small research in the 1960s. A Swedish

3238
04:35:49.240 --> 04:35:53.360
physiologist named Bent Sauthin wanted to observe
the effects of absolute bed rest on the

3239
04:35:53.439 --> 04:35:59.919
human body. Severely ill patients had
always been advised to recover in bed,

3240
04:36:00.200 --> 04:36:04.439
but there was some doubt that this
Council was prudent. Saltin asked five young

3241
04:36:04.560 --> 04:36:10.759
people whose condition varied between the excellent
and the sedentary, to stay three weeks

3242
04:36:10.799 --> 04:36:15.759
in bed at 24 hours a day. At the end of that time,

3243
04:36:17.080 --> 04:36:22.279
he discovered that all his subjects,
whatever their previous physical condition, suffered a

3244
04:36:22.400 --> 04:36:30.799
decrease in their aerobic capacity equal to
twenty years of aging. It was an

3245
04:36:30.840 --> 04:36:33.560
amazing find. But the most fascinating
part is that, when each subject was

3246
04:36:33.639 --> 04:36:38.119
allowed to get out of bed for
five minutes a day, almost all the

3247
04:36:38.240 --> 04:36:42.880
loss of function was avoided. It
was not necessary to move or use the

3248
04:36:44.000 --> 04:36:48.479
muscles in any way. Simply exposed
to quantum force gravity allowed the bodies to

3249
04:36:48.560 --> 04:36:53.959
remain normal. In a later American
study, runners were examined to see if

3250
04:36:55.040 --> 04:37:00.560
intense physical exercise prevented osteoporosis. According
to some experts, the best protection against

3251
04:37:00.639 --> 04:37:04.479
the disease is not to take calcium
or estrogen supplements, but to achieve a

3252
04:37:04.560 --> 04:37:08.439
good density, that is, in
the years of youth. As the bones

3253
04:37:08.479 --> 04:37:12.080
become stronger, the more weight they
have to endure the long distance run,

3254
04:37:12.560 --> 04:37:17.000
the higher the density of the legs
should be increased by a considerable proportion.

3255
04:37:17.959 --> 04:37:22.840
The application to aging goes beyond osteoporosis
in which the bones become extremely thin without

3256
04:37:22.880 --> 04:37:32.439
getting this disease. Aging sharpens the
bones to almost everyone, among the very

3257
04:37:32.720 --> 04:37:36.959
elderly. Hip fractures affect one in
three women and one in six men.

3258
04:37:38.799 --> 04:37:42.439
At the taf aging centre, the
twelfth density of a group of young runners

3259
04:37:42.439 --> 04:37:48.400
was compared with those of women who
did not exercise regularly. Even though they

3260
04:37:48.479 --> 04:37:52.599
were 20 percent thinner than non-
sporters, the runners had stronger bones in

3261
04:37:52.720 --> 04:37:57.560
their legs. This made sense,
as those bones were subjected to more work

3262
04:37:57.639 --> 04:38:03.400
and weight, but the researchers took
the surprise of discovering that the runners also

3263
04:38:03.479 --> 04:38:07.159
had denser bones in their forearms,
even though they received no extra weight.

3264
04:38:11.439 --> 04:38:15.400
Somehow, the whole skeleton shared the
message of depositing more calcium into bone tissue

3265
04:38:15.479 --> 04:38:18.639
thanks to chemical signals, probably in
the form of hormones activated in the quantum

3266
04:38:18.720 --> 04:38:26.080
plane. The whole body knew that
exercise was done in quantum terms, which

3267
04:38:26.119 --> 04:38:32.759
promotes order is beneficial to oppose entropy. All physiology is an island of negative

3268
04:38:32.840 --> 04:38:37.959
entropy. Therefore, we must sacredly
direct our efforts to maintain order in all

3269
04:38:37.040 --> 04:38:42.520
aspects. As the body uses both
creation and destruction to keep its vital processes

3270
04:38:42.560 --> 04:38:49.040
going. The solution is not in
constant work. Exercise must be balanced with

3271
04:38:49.119 --> 04:38:53.360
rest, because during exercise there is
extensive muscle destruction that must be restored during

3272
04:38:53.479 --> 04:39:00.119
rest periods. In every aspect of
life. The key is the equilibrium very

3273
04:39:00.159 --> 04:39:06.759
general term that can be broken down
into four titles. Moderation, regularity,

3274
04:39:06.880 --> 04:39:15.759
rest activity equal to balance. Moderation
means not to reach extremes of regularity by

3275
04:39:15.840 --> 04:39:22.840
following a consistent routine. Rest is
rest, activity is activity. These four

3276
04:39:22.959 --> 04:39:26.240
things seem simple, but only the
human species has conscious control over them,

3277
04:39:26.560 --> 04:39:32.560
being the only species endowed with self- consciousness in the lower animals. It

3278
04:39:32.680 --> 04:39:36.560
is instinct that dictates the cycle of
rest and activity that humans can freely ignore.

3279
04:39:37.639 --> 04:39:41.200
If we ignore it in the wrong
direction, what we do is accelerate

3280
04:39:41.279 --> 04:39:45.720
entropy. This has become visible in
the worst aspects of modern life, which

3281
04:39:45.720 --> 04:39:52.479
paradoxically mixes the greatest comfort with a
growing disorder. A striking example of how

3282
04:39:52.560 --> 04:39:56.560
our bodies reflect. The imbalance of
our lifestyle lies in the major heart disorders

3283
04:39:56.639 --> 04:40:02.400
of the elderly in our society,
which cause more deaths than all the other

3284
04:40:02.560 --> 04:40:07.520
diseases added up. In the 1920s, cardiology emerged as a flourishing specialty in

3285
04:40:07.599 --> 04:40:12.799
direct response to the alarming epidemic of
heart attacks that mysteriously invaded our society.

3286
04:40:15.680 --> 04:40:19.200
The epidemic worsened unchecked for another fifty
years when it finally fell in the late

3287
04:40:19.319 --> 04:40:26.119
1960s. There were few coincidences in
what had happened. We still wonder why

3288
04:40:26.200 --> 04:40:30.599
Americans, preceded only by Finns,
suffer more coronary thrombosis than any other people

3289
04:40:30.720 --> 04:40:37.000
in the world. William Mosler,
founder of Johns Hopkens Medical School and the

3290
04:40:37.040 --> 04:40:41.159
most famous American physician of the early
century, noted that in ten years of

3291
04:40:41.200 --> 04:40:47.360
practice in a hospital, he saw
no case of angina. From the chest

3292
04:40:47.439 --> 04:40:52.119
this typical pain that indicates the presence
of a heart disease. In seven years

3293
04:40:52.200 --> 04:40:55.919
of work at Johns Hopkens Osler he
saw a total of four cases of angina.

3294
04:40:56.880 --> 04:40:59.680
Today, all cardiologists see that number
in the course of ons an hour

3295
04:40:59.799 --> 04:41:06.319
From a thousand nine hundred, the
incidence of heart attacks in this country doubles

3296
04:41:06.400 --> 04:41:11.799
every two decades. Dr Poul dadle
White, the most eminent cardiologist of the

3297
04:41:11.880 --> 04:41:17.360
generation that followed Osler' s,
believed that the epidemic was mainly due to

3298
04:41:17.720 --> 04:41:21.520
two changes that had occurred in the
United States during this century, the enormous

3299
04:41:21.639 --> 04:41:25.759
acceleration in the pace of daily life
and a general enrichment of the diet.

3300
04:41:26.520 --> 04:41:33.119
Enrichment means basically more fat. In
the 1920s and later, foods such as

3301
04:41:33.240 --> 04:41:37.560
butter, cream, and steak became
accessible not only to wealthy people, but

3302
04:41:37.680 --> 04:41:45.159
to all. The rapid pace of
life was due to the increasing use of

3303
04:41:45.159 --> 04:41:48.639
the car, which greatly shortened the
time when people arrived at destination I therefore

3304
04:41:48.720 --> 04:41:52.759
gave new impetus to the disease of
hurrying. This saw that these two great

3305
04:41:52.840 --> 04:41:57.720
changes suited the desires of a better
material life. The Irish immigrant, who

3306
04:41:57.799 --> 04:42:00.400
put a bet on Sara' s
instead of cabbages and potatoes, thought he

3307
04:42:00.520 --> 04:42:04.599
was improving his family' s luck. Replacing the horse and the calesa with

3308
04:42:04.680 --> 04:42:11.959
a model was a goal shared by
everyone. Our growing consumption of red meat

3309
04:42:11.040 --> 04:42:15.040
and other foods high in saturated fats, such as milk, cheese, ice

3310
04:42:15.400 --> 04:42:21.639
cream and eggs, has been particularly
unbalanced. If a graph of the incidence

3311
04:42:21.639 --> 04:42:26.040
of heart attacks, arteriosclerosis, breast
cancer and colon cancer in the countries of

3312
04:42:26.119 --> 04:42:30.279
the world were drawn, it would
be seen that certain nations tend to fall

3313
04:42:30.279 --> 04:42:33.639
to the bottom in almost all diseases
Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, El Salvador,

3314
04:42:34.159 --> 04:42:37.319
Sri Lanka, while others rise to
the top United States, Canada,

3315
04:42:37.799 --> 04:42:44.799
Australia, Germany. If a graph
of the world' s countries is now

3316
04:42:44.919 --> 04:42:48.000
made according to the consumption of milk, meat, red, eggs and cheese,

3317
04:42:48.279 --> 04:42:53.159
the same distribution occurs, nations with
low death rates turn out to be

3318
04:42:53.200 --> 04:42:57.119
those where there is little consumption of
fat- rich foods, while richer diet

3319
04:42:57.200 --> 04:43:04.439
societies have catastrophic rates of heart attacks, hardening of arteries and cancer. Reaching

3320
04:43:04.479 --> 04:43:08.680
a good cardiovascular condition also became much
more difficult in our idle society, where

3321
04:43:08.919 --> 04:43:14.119
pleasures such as radio, television and
movies are more tempting than exercise, at

3322
04:43:14.200 --> 04:43:21.720
least superficially. For starters, exercise
is artificial. Until the 20th century,

3323
04:43:21.959 --> 04:43:26.959
people maintained intense activity, whether they
wanted it or not, before the United

3324
04:43:26.040 --> 04:43:30.639
States became a mechanized society, the
concept of exercise by exercise itself was almost

3325
04:43:30.759 --> 04:43:37.279
unknown, as daily life contained an
enormous amount of physical activity. It would

3326
04:43:37.439 --> 04:43:42.439
have been laughable to advise a farmer' s wife to do aerobics Until the

3327
04:43:42.560 --> 04:43:48.360
year nineteen hundred, human labor represented
eighty percent of the total calories spent on

3328
04:43:48.479 --> 04:43:52.479
tilling the land, although tractors and
harvesters were already widely in use, now

3329
04:43:52.599 --> 04:43:59.159
mechanized almost all agriculture human labor represents
just one percent of the total calories spent

3330
04:43:59.240 --> 04:44:07.840
to resume the normal activity that the
body needs. We must all consciously oppose

3331
04:44:07.880 --> 04:44:12.439
the tendency towards increased physical idleness,
as well as other more intangible changes.

3332
04:44:15.360 --> 04:44:19.520
Before nineteen hundred and twenty, one
half of Americans lived in small cities,

3333
04:44:21.000 --> 04:44:25.520
especially in Farms. From that date, the majority moved to live in cities.

3334
04:44:26.200 --> 04:44:30.759
Migration to urban areas continues, although
there are certain signs of reaction,

3335
04:44:30.840 --> 04:44:34.479
with the move of middle- and
upper- class families to rural areas However,

3336
04:44:34.840 --> 04:44:37.919
they are not going to till the
land, but they are looking for

3337
04:44:38.040 --> 04:44:41.959
a purer air and less noise than
in the city life is no longer covered

3338
04:44:42.040 --> 04:44:48.200
by sunrise and sunset. We get
up and sleep when we want to work

3339
04:44:48.599 --> 04:44:53.200
in offices without contact with the outdoors. If we wish, we can work

3340
04:44:53.279 --> 04:44:59.720
all night. More importantly, we
do not yet work for ourselves, because

3341
04:44:59.799 --> 04:45:03.479
we are often tied to other people' s goals. Large companies set schedules

3342
04:45:03.560 --> 04:45:08.599
and dates, assign tasks and descriptions
and effectively retain decisions in the hands of

3343
04:45:08.680 --> 04:45:15.439
a privileged few. The fact that
modern life tends to be so unbalanced in

3344
04:45:15.520 --> 04:45:19.439
defiance of the innate needs of the
body does not go unnoticed for physiology.

3345
04:45:22.080 --> 04:45:26.880
Your body sends unmistakable signals Every time
your needs are not met. The stomach

3346
04:45:26.959 --> 04:45:30.919
says it' s too full.
Muscles tremble when more of their strength is

3347
04:45:30.959 --> 04:45:36.840
demanded. Those who pay attention to
the body' s instincts, who try

3348
04:45:36.880 --> 04:45:40.400
to flow with daily activity instead of
pushing and running, have more chances of

3349
04:45:40.479 --> 04:45:45.439
establishing a natural rhythm. Despite the
few physical requirements of modern life. The

3350
04:45:45.520 --> 04:45:49.919
overall benefit of the balanced lifestyle emerged
in a thousand nine hundred and sixty-

3351
04:45:51.360 --> 04:45:55.919
five in South California, when a
research team led by Narie Bawk and Luster

3352
04:45:55.959 --> 04:46:00.639
bussele now dean of public health at
the University of Los Angeles decided to follow

3353
04:46:00.720 --> 04:46:06.319
the aging patterns of those residing in
Alameda County. It was divided between almost

3354
04:46:06.439 --> 04:46:08.880
seven points zero, zero, zero
subjects, a twenty- three- page

3355
04:46:08.959 --> 04:46:15.000
questionnaire asking them for many details about
their state of health and lifestyle. After

3356
04:46:15.119 --> 04:46:18.279
five and a half years, three
hundred and seventy- one of those subjects

3357
04:46:18.279 --> 04:46:23.639
had died. Analyzing the original responses
to these questionnaires, the researchers found that

3358
04:46:23.639 --> 04:46:29.319
the most important feature of the survivors
was not their monetary income, their physical

3359
04:46:29.400 --> 04:46:36.119
state or their genetic inheritance, but
extremely simple habits. One sleeps seven to

3360
04:46:36.200 --> 04:46:42.080
eight hours a night, two have
breakfast almost every day, three do not

3361
04:46:42.240 --> 04:46:48.319
eat between meals four normal weight,
i e up to five percent less and

3362
04:46:48.400 --> 04:46:55.759
up to ten percent excess in women
and twenty percent in men. Five regular

3363
04:46:55.880 --> 04:47:00.959
physical activity, i e participate frequently
in active sports, long walks, gardening

3364
04:47:00.319 --> 04:47:07.000
or other exercises. Six moderations in
drinking, i e no more than two

3365
04:47:07.080 --> 04:47:15.520
glasses of alcoholic drink a day,
seven never smoking cigarettes. This is a

3366
04:47:15.639 --> 04:47:18.639
very short list of balanced habits of
the kind that children learn in their mother

3367
04:47:18.720 --> 04:47:25.919
' s lap, but led to
dramatic conclusions. Analyzing the statistics, Belloc

3368
04:47:26.000 --> 04:47:30.200
discovered that a forty- five-
year- old man who observed between none

3369
04:47:30.279 --> 04:47:33.919
and three healthy habits had expectations of
living as an average of twenty- one

3370
04:47:33.919 --> 04:47:37.080
as six years older. Whoever respected
six or seven of these good habits could

3371
04:47:37.200 --> 04:47:41.759
live thirty- three years longer.
In other words, something as simple as

3372
04:47:41.840 --> 04:47:45.919
having a breakfast of any kind and
getting enough sleep added more than eleven years

3373
04:47:47.000 --> 04:47:49.040
to a person’ s life.
By comparison, the fact that both parents

3374
04:47:49.119 --> 04:47:52.840
and the four grandparents have reached eighty
years only increases life expectancy by three years.

3375
04:47:56.919 --> 04:48:00.119
Cumulative results were not as dramatic in
the case of women or women,

3376
04:48:00.319 --> 04:48:04.400
but the same pattern was observed in
all ages. A forty- five-

3377
04:48:04.599 --> 04:48:10.040
year- old woman who respected at
least six good habits had expectations of living

3378
04:48:10.159 --> 04:48:12.360
seven or two years longer than anyone
who followed less than four. This increased

3379
04:48:12.400 --> 04:48:18.520
to seven eight by the age of
fifty- five. As impressive as they

3380
04:48:18.520 --> 04:48:22.680
are. These figures are much more
so when we look beyond survival towards general

3381
04:48:22.880 --> 04:48:29.319
health. A mature person aged fifty- five to sixty- four who practiced

3382
04:48:29.360 --> 04:48:33.360
the seven good manners was as healthy
as young adults aged twenty- five to

3383
04:48:33.439 --> 04:48:41.240
thirty- four who respected only one
or two. The trend also remained in

3384
04:48:41.319 --> 04:48:45.479
the older age groups. If a
person practiced the seven good habits at seventy

3385
04:48:45.680 --> 04:48:48.680
- five years of age, his
health was comparable to that of a person

3386
04:48:48.799 --> 04:48:53.240
of thirty or forty who neglected good
habits. What seems to result is the

3387
04:48:53.319 --> 04:48:57.759
pure regularity, the type of diet
or physical activity practiced was not taken into

3388
04:48:57.840 --> 04:49:03.919
consideration. By comparison, similar studies
in the population of Southern California have shown

3389
04:49:04.040 --> 04:49:07.560
that people over sixty- five years
old who take large doses of vitamins and

3390
04:49:07.599 --> 04:49:11.959
adhere to strict healthy food diets do
not gain significant benefits in life expectancy.

3391
04:49:17.799 --> 04:49:21.759
Researchers at the University of Los Angeles
Supla also noted that older subjects generally followed

3392
04:49:21.840 --> 04:49:26.080
a healthier lifestyle, indicating that those
who did not had died at an earlier

3393
04:49:26.159 --> 04:49:32.799
age. This coincides with the general
surgeon' s calculation that two thirds of

3394
04:49:32.919 --> 04:49:37.639
the diseases experienced in old age are
preventable. They headed the list of those

3395
04:49:37.720 --> 04:49:41.400
who died in the early years of
the study for sedentary life and smoking in

3396
04:49:41.439 --> 04:49:47.680
general. The study showed that those
with good habits throughout their lives had expectations

3397
04:49:47.759 --> 04:49:55.240
of enjoying a 30- year health
advantage over those with bad habits. Almost

3398
04:49:55.360 --> 04:50:00.360
three decades after that study, no
one has questioned its main conclusion. A

3399
04:50:00.439 --> 04:50:03.560
balanced lifestyle is one of the most
important steps to slow down the aging process.

3400
04:50:07.040 --> 04:50:11.000
We must now delve into the deeper
mechanisms of balance to see if that

3401
04:50:11.040 --> 04:50:17.599
beneficial effect can be improved. The
human body blooms with order, but the

3402
04:50:17.680 --> 04:50:22.520
ultimate responsibility for creating order from disorder
resides in each cell. The secret of

3403
04:50:22.560 --> 04:50:26.200
keeping destruction at bay is revealed only
on the invisible plane, where intelligence is

3404
04:50:26.279 --> 04:50:36.560
constantly preserving the balance of life.
The flow of intelligence, preserving the balance

3405
04:50:36.599 --> 04:50:41.159
of life on its own. The
molecules of the body have no intelligence.

3406
04:50:42.159 --> 04:50:45.759
Oxygen or hydrogen are no more shrewd, just because they are processed by a

3407
04:50:45.840 --> 04:50:51.479
human cell. The same sugar molecules
that remain inert in a sugar cube are

3408
04:50:51.520 --> 04:50:56.400
found with small variations within DNA,
but in us sugar comes to life.

3409
04:50:57.319 --> 04:51:02.759
The basic fuel of the body is
glucose or blood sugar, the only food

3410
04:51:02.880 --> 04:51:06.360
in the brain. If we burn
a bucket of sugar in a gas flame,

3411
04:51:06.680 --> 04:51:08.840
we get a flash of light and
heat and a greasy piece of coal.

3412
04:51:10.159 --> 04:51:14.439
But the same sugar burned in the
brain produces all the thoughts and emotions

3413
04:51:14.520 --> 04:51:18.880
we have. The schistine chapel,
the lost paradise and Beethoven' s ninth

3414
04:51:18.959 --> 04:51:23.200
symphony are many other achievements of burnt
sugar. The same can be said of

3415
04:51:23.319 --> 04:51:30.080
this book and your ability to read
it, starting with the DNA, RNA,

3416
04:51:30.240 --> 04:51:33.720
and enzymes they produce. Our cells
form equipment with molecules that react in

3417
04:51:33.880 --> 04:51:38.680
exact order. But this fact leads
to confusion. It is the intelligence of

3418
04:51:38.799 --> 04:51:42.959
the body that makes the true decisions, which is invisible. It acts like

3419
04:51:44.000 --> 04:51:48.799
choreography and graph which invents every step
of dance, but prefer not to appear

3420
04:51:48.840 --> 04:51:53.439
on stage. As all the cells
in the body are made of molecules that

3421
04:51:53.479 --> 04:51:57.040
found their place because the DNA directed
them there. It could be said that

3422
04:51:57.119 --> 04:52:02.439
physiology is nothing but intelligence in uers
and that all the processes in progress within

3423
04:52:02.560 --> 04:52:10.279
each cell are essentially intelligence. Speaking
to herself, a polygraph expert named Clive

3424
04:52:10.400 --> 04:52:15.119
Baxte has conducted hundreds of amazing experiments
that prove this theory. The basis of

3425
04:52:15.200 --> 04:52:19.439
the polygraph or lie detector is that
it measures the small changes in the galvanic

3426
04:52:19.520 --> 04:52:23.840
response of the skin its ability to
conduct electricity, which allows indirectly to measure

3427
04:52:23.959 --> 04:52:27.400
whether a person' s body is
tense associated with lying or relaxed, associated

3428
04:52:27.479 --> 04:52:33.279
with telling the truth. However,
the same differences in electrical charges occur in

3429
04:52:33.360 --> 04:52:38.279
the face of a threat or excitement. The polygraph will jump if the subject

3430
04:52:38.360 --> 04:52:44.639
looks at an erotic image or relives
past trauma. The amazing thing is that

3431
04:52:44.720 --> 04:52:48.799
Baxter discovered that even cells removed from
the body and placed in another room react

3432
04:52:48.880 --> 04:52:52.200
to these stimuli when the subject does. If a few cells are scraped from

3433
04:52:52.279 --> 04:52:56.520
inside the mouth and connected to the
polygraph in one room while the subject sits

3434
04:52:56.599 --> 04:53:00.080
in another, the electric shocks will
remain flat and stable when the subject is

3435
04:53:00.159 --> 04:53:06.159
calm and will be violently altered when
looking at an erotic illustration. The moment

3436
04:53:06.240 --> 04:53:08.919
he stops looking, his polygraph calms
down again and also the polygraph of his

3437
04:53:10.040 --> 04:53:15.880
cells in the other room. The
distance does not seem to affect this mysterious

3438
04:53:15.880 --> 04:53:21.720
result. In one experiment, Baxter
asked a veteran World War II sailor to

3439
04:53:21.840 --> 04:53:26.360
watch battle movies in the Pacific.
As soon as the man saw the shooting

3440
04:53:26.439 --> 04:53:33.200
of a burning fighter plane, his
polygraph exhibited a strong Davidic response. At

3441
04:53:33.279 --> 04:53:37.080
the same moment, seen by a
simultaneous video team, there was a sudden

3442
04:53:37.200 --> 04:53:41.119
activity in a polygraph connected to cells
in his mouth. Ten kilometers away.

3443
04:53:41.759 --> 04:53:47.880
This man had seen planes shot down
by enemy artillery fall into combat. His

3444
04:53:47.959 --> 04:53:51.560
memory of danger was activated and all
the cells in his body knew it.

3445
04:53:52.200 --> 04:53:59.240
Intelligence because it is abstract and invisible
must react to make your brain known.

3446
04:53:59.319 --> 04:54:03.680
He makes his intelligence known by producing
words and concepts. Your body makes its

3447
04:54:03.720 --> 04:54:08.240
intelligence known by producing molecules capable of
carrying messages. It is fascinating to see

3448
04:54:08.319 --> 04:54:14.360
how these two types of intelligence merge
together. The whole operation occurs in the

3449
04:54:14.439 --> 04:54:18.439
quantum plane, where the dividing line
between the abstract and the concrete is blurred.

3450
04:54:18.759 --> 04:54:22.680
In the source of intelligence there is
very little difference between thoughts and molecules,

3451
04:54:23.240 --> 04:54:30.560
as a simple example, the body
as information will show. If you

3452
04:54:30.639 --> 04:54:33.840
bite a lemon, the juice immediately
causes your mouth to fill with water,

3453
04:54:33.119 --> 04:54:37.119
as the salivary glands under your tongue
begin to segregate two digestive sachets called milaza,

3454
04:54:37.720 --> 04:54:42.799
salivary and bad cup. These enzymes
begin to digest the sugar found in

3455
04:54:42.880 --> 04:54:49.000
lemon juice before passing it to the
more complex stomach gastric juices. There'

3456
04:54:49.080 --> 04:54:52.799
s not much mystery. The presence
of food in the mouth immediately activates digestion,

3457
04:54:53.360 --> 04:54:57.680
but what happens if you just visualize
a lemon or repeat three times for

3458
04:54:57.799 --> 04:55:03.240
your insides the word lemon your mouth
is also filled with water and the same

3459
04:55:03.319 --> 04:55:07.360
salival tops are produced. There'
s nothing to digest, though. The

3460
04:55:07.400 --> 04:55:11.200
message sent by the brain is more
important than the actual presence of food.

3461
04:55:12.159 --> 04:55:17.759
Words and images also operate as real
molecules to activate the constant process of life.

3462
04:55:18.720 --> 04:55:25.799
We can represent the process as a
constantly renewed circle. Message molecule.

3463
04:55:26.240 --> 04:55:30.880
A message is not a thing but
your body makes it a thing that'

3464
04:55:30.959 --> 04:55:37.680
s how nature operates behind the illusion
of physical reality. Our materialistic prejudice forces

3465
04:55:37.720 --> 04:55:41.200
us to continue to regard molecules as
a source of life, regardless of the

3466
04:55:41.279 --> 04:55:44.880
fact that a body that has just
died contains exactly the same molecules as before

3467
04:55:44.959 --> 04:55:51.319
it died, including an entire complement
of DNA. We take it for granted

3468
04:55:51.400 --> 04:55:55.000
that lemon juice is the real thing, while the word lemon is something false.

3469
04:55:55.959 --> 04:55:59.880
After all, saliva doesn' t
digest words, but actually swim.

3470
04:56:00.240 --> 04:56:03.799
We' re digesting messages at all
times. Lemon juice molecules activate salivation by

3471
04:56:03.840 --> 04:56:08.439
entering the taste bud receptors that send
a message to the brain, triggering response

3472
04:56:08.479 --> 04:56:17.840
messages to the salivary glands. There
is nothing as miraculous in nature as this

3473
04:56:18.040 --> 04:56:22.040
transformation. By comparison, turning lead
into gold is trivial, as lead and

3474
04:56:22.360 --> 04:56:30.119
gold are only small rearrangements of a
few neutron protons and electrons. If you

3475
04:56:30.200 --> 04:56:33.959
hear the words I love you and
your heart starts to beat, there has

3476
04:56:33.080 --> 04:56:37.759
been a much more amazing metamorphosis,
an emotion in someone else' s mind

3477
04:56:37.880 --> 04:56:42.959
has transformed into adrenaline molecules running through
your bloodstream. These, in turn,

3478
04:56:44.200 --> 04:56:48.759
activate receptors located on the outside of
your heart cells, which, for their

3479
04:56:48.759 --> 04:56:52.520
part, indicate to each cell that
the appropriate response to love is to contract

3480
04:56:52.560 --> 04:56:57.560
faster than usual. The most important
thing is that your body feels transformed by

3481
04:56:57.680 --> 04:57:02.200
knowing that you are loved to experience
a feeling of mildness and joy. The

3482
04:57:02.240 --> 04:57:07.599
world seems more lived and everyday problems
seem to disappear. Why are these answers

3483
04:57:07.720 --> 04:57:12.279
appropriate, As the body has learned
that the word love is the spring that

3484
04:57:12.360 --> 04:57:17.360
awakens a throbbing joy in the heart
and not the words outcry or heat.

3485
04:57:18.680 --> 04:57:22.200
This mystery challenges the most complex knowledge
of biology, medicine, psychology, chemistry

3486
04:57:22.279 --> 04:57:29.319
and physics, but it is of
vital importance. The heart remains physically intact

3487
04:57:29.479 --> 04:57:33.439
thanks to a torrent of messages from
the genes. These, in turn,

3488
04:57:33.840 --> 04:57:38.400
are formed by subatomic messages that come
and go in quantum dance. In relation

3489
04:57:38.799 --> 04:57:45.040
to the language we use to refer
to ourselves is of tremendous importance. Child

3490
04:57:45.119 --> 04:57:48.720
psychologists have found that young children suffer
a much deeper influence from parental attributional claims.

3491
04:57:51.880 --> 04:57:53.840
For example, you' re a
bad boy, you' re a

3492
04:57:53.840 --> 04:57:57.360
liar. You' re not as
smart as your sister than prescriptive. For

3493
04:57:57.439 --> 04:58:02.360
example, always wash your hands before
eating, don' t take toys to

3494
04:58:02.439 --> 04:58:06.200
your mouth, don' t be
late for school. In other words,

3495
04:58:06.599 --> 04:58:08.840
telling a child what causes a much
deeper impression on him than telling him what

3496
04:58:08.919 --> 04:58:15.759
to do with the system. Mind, body is organized around those verbal experiences.

3497
04:58:17.319 --> 04:58:21.159
Wounds caused by words can create far
more permanent effects than physical trauma,

3498
04:58:21.560 --> 04:58:29.240
as we literally create ourselves from words. This is especially important when we analyze

3499
04:58:29.319 --> 04:58:33.959
those two powerful words young and old. There' s a huge difference between

3500
04:58:34.000 --> 04:58:38.240
saying I' m too tired to
do that and saying I' m too

3501
04:58:38.240 --> 04:58:42.080
old to do that. The first
statement conveys a subliminal message that things will

3502
04:58:42.159 --> 04:58:47.919
get better if you are too tired. Now your energy will come back and

3503
04:58:48.080 --> 04:58:52.400
later you won' t be tired. Being too old sounds much more definite,

3504
04:58:52.680 --> 04:58:56.000
because in our culture the old is
defined by the passage of linear time.

3505
04:58:56.279 --> 04:59:00.439
Old things don' t get young
again. Words have the power to

3506
04:59:00.479 --> 04:59:06.080
program consciousness. Therefore, it is
important to avoid passive acceptance of the negative

3507
04:59:06.159 --> 04:59:11.119
connotations contained in the old word.
As many hope to accumulate more problems and

3508
04:59:11.200 --> 04:59:15.520
sorrows in old age glorify youth,
not because of their special character, but

3509
04:59:15.599 --> 04:59:21.159
because it was before all problems began. On ech Web the wave of age,

3510
04:59:21.439 --> 04:59:25.439
a penetrating book on aging in the
United States, Hendar Walt, quotes

3511
04:59:25.560 --> 04:59:30.279
a birthday card that says sideways,
don' t feel old, We have

3512
04:59:30.319 --> 04:59:36.439
a friend of your reverse age and
on his good days he can still eat

3513
04:59:36.520 --> 04:59:41.680
alone. This kind of black humor
provokes laughter because it exposes only a little

3514
04:59:41.720 --> 04:59:45.599
bit of the affliction that could be
overwhelming if we faced it in its entirety.

3515
04:59:45.479 --> 04:59:49.840
But the joke is either fun or
morbid, it contains a complaint that

3516
04:59:49.959 --> 04:59:56.400
another birthday card expresses nakedly you have
just turned thirty for the rest of your

3517
04:59:56.479 --> 05:00:00.240
life you will never have fun again. Lo. What this message directly says

3518
05:00:00.319 --> 05:00:04.080
is that aging arouses deep resentment.
What he leaves unsaid is that we can

3519
05:00:04.200 --> 05:00:10.360
do nothing to avoid it. The
sad fact is that our society, lacking

3520
05:00:10.439 --> 05:00:14.360
good models of old age, has
carried the word itself with layers of prejudice.

3521
05:00:15.279 --> 05:00:19.040
I say in detail the implications of
considering the old and the young as

3522
05:00:19.159 --> 05:00:23.159
opposing poles. If the young is
good, the old must be bad.

3523
05:00:25.799 --> 05:00:30.880
If young people have everything, old
people must be losing it. If the

3524
05:00:30.959 --> 05:00:36.000
young is creative and dynamic, the
old must be foolish and serious. If

3525
05:00:36.119 --> 05:00:40.680
the young is beautiful, the old
must be ugly. If being young is

3526
05:00:40.799 --> 05:00:45.279
exciting, being old must be boring. If young people are full of passion.

3527
05:00:45.639 --> 05:00:51.599
Old people must be indifferent. If
the children are our tomorrow, the

3528
05:00:51.759 --> 05:00:56.400
old ones must be ours yesterday.
The typical American way to handle this polarity

3529
05:00:56.479 --> 05:01:00.720
is to focus on being young forever. The pages of magazines and television screens

3530
05:01:00.799 --> 05:01:07.880
are full of young and beautiful bodies
judging by mass advertising. The United States

3531
05:01:07.959 --> 05:01:12.840
is a paradise inhabited by under thirty
years of age, with perpetually tanned skin,

3532
05:01:14.360 --> 05:01:18.360
slender muscles and ecstasy smiles. But
the image of the United States as

3533
05:01:18.400 --> 05:01:22.520
the country of eternal youth is in
grave disagreement with reality. In July of

3534
05:01:22.599 --> 05:01:26.560
nineteen hundred and eighty- three there
were more people in this nation over sixty

3535
05:01:26.959 --> 05:01:30.240
- five years of age than teenagers. That means we officially stopped being young

3536
05:01:30.319 --> 05:01:37.279
a decade ago. It is difficult
to reconcile this fact with a system of

3537
05:01:37.319 --> 05:01:41.599
values in which the words young and
old are polarized and the positive pole is

3538
05:01:41.599 --> 05:01:45.599
youth. Raising youth as an ideal
of life is one side of the coin.

3539
05:01:45.919 --> 05:01:49.520
The other is the refusal that old
age exists. On TV Only three

3540
05:01:49.599 --> 05:01:53.439
percent of the characters are over sixty- five years old against sixteen of the

3541
05:01:53.479 --> 05:02:00.439
general population. Old people are rarely
used as models of advertising in society.

3542
05:02:00.520 --> 05:02:04.439
It is considered rude to ask someone
their age, among those who respond,

3543
05:02:04.720 --> 05:02:08.000
many will subtract a few years.
Unlike what happens in China and other countries

3544
05:02:08.119 --> 05:02:14.200
where old age is valued. There
people tend to add a few years.

3545
05:02:15.479 --> 05:02:19.400
Dictual points out that, although now
those over sixty- five years of age

3546
05:02:19.439 --> 05:02:23.479
enter the healthiest maturity ever, the
image of young people as vigorous, powerful

3547
05:02:23.479 --> 05:02:27.240
and attractive people still has its shadow
in an image of the elderly as incompetent,

3548
05:02:29.000 --> 05:02:33.919
inflexible, tied to the past,
sexuous, uncreative, poor, sick

3549
05:02:33.319 --> 05:02:38.959
and slow. For those who accept
that these degrading terms apply to old age,

3550
05:02:40.319 --> 05:02:42.439
their atributive power is as strong as
those of childhood, which makes us

3551
05:02:42.520 --> 05:02:48.799
feel guilty, ashamed and unworthy for
years to come. Words are more than

3552
05:02:48.840 --> 05:02:53.919
symbols. They' re the activators
of biological information. If we study this

3553
05:02:55.040 --> 05:02:57.439
carefully. The young word is the
code of many things that in n really

3554
05:02:57.520 --> 05:03:03.520
baby have nothing. It' s
about youth. The highest rates of crime,

3555
05:03:03.000 --> 05:03:08.159
drug abuse, alcoholism, schizophrenia and
social unrest are among young people.

3556
05:03:12.400 --> 05:03:21.439
However, youth is a symbolic ideal
to which almost everyone responds positively. If

3557
05:03:21.560 --> 05:03:25.560
we wanted to, we could transfer
the same positive value to old age.

3558
05:03:26.439 --> 05:03:30.159
A verse from the Old Testament that
goes back to the times of Solomon’

3559
05:03:30.680 --> 05:03:33.279
s reign of clear. The joy
of the heart is life. For a

3560
05:03:33.360 --> 05:03:38.159
man, joy is what gives him
the length of days. The belief that

3561
05:03:38.200 --> 05:03:42.279
long life represents maximum joy is repeated
in other cultures, especially in those that

3562
05:03:42.360 --> 05:03:48.319
estimate the advanced age and where each
year completed adds more value. Okusai,

3563
05:03:48.680 --> 05:03:52.720
the great Japanese artist, began his
life as a child prodigy at the age

3564
05:03:52.720 --> 05:03:56.240
of six. He knew how to
draw remarkably, but he tells us that

3565
05:03:56.319 --> 05:04:00.360
he was not satisfied with his ability, but, after turning seventy, looking

3566
05:04:00.759 --> 05:04:04.680
forward, he predicted that by the
eighties I will have considerable talent, the

3567
05:04:04.799 --> 05:04:08.200
hundred sublime beings and the one hundred
ten I will give life to a simple

3568
05:04:08.319 --> 05:04:11.080
line, to a simple point.
Okusai did not reach one hundred and ten,

3569
05:04:11.639 --> 05:04:15.159
for he died in one thousand eight
hundred and forty- nine, when

3570
05:04:15.279 --> 05:04:18.040
he was ninety years old. But
despite his old age, he believed that

3571
05:04:18.119 --> 05:04:23.759
the best was to come in our
society. The old word implies a growing

3572
05:04:23.880 --> 05:04:27.799
disorder and fragility, but in truth, the disorder as the result of the

3573
05:04:27.880 --> 05:04:33.840
imbalance can be presented to any age
agenarian concept that usually runs a certain time

3574
05:04:33.919 --> 05:04:38.720
tocios the days can have a dry
immune system eva to that of a forty

3575
05:04:38.880 --> 05:04:42.680
- five- year- old man
who leads a sedentary life. Despite our

3576
05:04:42.720 --> 05:04:47.360
fears that the aged brain may be
prey to senility, the vast majority of

3577
05:04:47.439 --> 05:04:52.599
the elderly retain their faculties intact and
many creative abilities mature toward the end of

3578
05:04:52.720 --> 05:04:57.720
life. In nineteen hundred and ninety- two, a wonderful ninety- nine

3579
05:04:59.080 --> 05:05:02.439
- year- old pianist, my
former Orzovski, announced that faith would leave

3580
05:05:02.560 --> 05:05:07.240
his hundredth birthday with a concert at
meaty hall, following a long tradition of

3581
05:05:07.319 --> 05:05:11.040
master musicians who continued to play after
the eighties and nineties, including Toscanini,

3582
05:05:11.000 --> 05:05:18.599
Horwitz, Cubingstein and Serkin. Although
we identify creative genius with children prodigies like

3583
05:05:18.000 --> 05:05:22.319
Mozart, creative researchers point out that
the longest careers are usually the ones that

3584
05:05:22.400 --> 05:05:29.319
start late. If we look beyond
the false duality of old and young,

3585
05:05:29.680 --> 05:05:33.599
what we find is a different reality. The body is a network of messages

3586
05:05:33.680 --> 05:05:37.919
that are constantly received and transmitted.
Some of these messages nourish and sustain us,

3587
05:05:38.439 --> 05:05:45.119
while others lead to disorder and decomposition. Experiences that nourish life go far

3588
05:05:45.240 --> 05:05:49.319
beyond cell biology. The tenderness of
the mother who watches her baby taking the

3589
05:05:49.400 --> 05:05:53.119
first steps feeds the child' s
body. It is enough to witness as

3590
05:05:53.159 --> 05:05:57.279
languish and a baby when maternal love
is withdrawn, even for a day for

3591
05:05:57.319 --> 05:06:02.400
the growing child it is possible.
A teacher' s breath is as important

3592
05:06:02.560 --> 05:06:07.200
as a hot lunch that raises your
back, vitamin milk, or self-

3593
05:06:07.759 --> 05:06:11.200
esteem. Once we reach adulthood,
win, the sincere respect of our co

3594
05:06:11.720 --> 05:06:15.959
- workers removes heart disease so effectively
and with much more naturality than counting milligrams

3595
05:06:17.040 --> 05:06:22.880
of cholesterol. Respect makes the heart
feel confident and confident, two ingredients that

3596
05:06:22.959 --> 05:06:30.040
must exist in every healthy body.
The decisions we make based on our happiness

3597
05:06:30.119 --> 05:06:34.279
and satisfaction are, therefore, exactly
those that determine how we will age medicine

3598
05:06:36.759 --> 05:06:41.759
has realized that nutrition has immense psychological
value. If newborns are touched and caressed,

3599
05:06:41.959 --> 05:06:45.599
it increases the level of growth hormone
and greases myelin, a protective layer

3600
05:06:45.720 --> 05:06:52.799
of motor nerves. The loving maternal
urge to pamper the baby translates directly into

3601
05:06:52.959 --> 05:06:59.720
life- supporting biochemical reactions. Infants
deprived of loving care can result in mons

3602
05:06:59.799 --> 05:07:06.360
ly deformed or dysfunctional. Certain experiments
made with prayer monkeys consisted of removing newborns

3603
05:07:06.400 --> 05:07:08.919
from their mothers and giving them the
possibility to choose between two artificial substitutes,

3604
05:07:10.599 --> 05:07:14.639
a cold wire mesh model with a
vibron protruding from the middle or a warm

3605
05:07:14.720 --> 05:07:22.119
padded cloth model, which had no
vibron and offered no milk. In all

3606
05:07:22.200 --> 05:07:26.840
cases, the young monkey preferred to
hold on to the soft and warm mother,

3607
05:07:27.200 --> 05:07:30.720
even if she did not provide them
with food. The instinct of seeking

3608
05:07:30.720 --> 05:07:37.520
emotional food proved more powerful than that
of seeking physical food. The music of

3609
05:07:37.599 --> 05:07:42.360
the body how you can lead a
nutritious life. This is a broad and

3610
05:07:42.400 --> 05:07:48.279
frightening question. Given the harsh conditions
of our environment, there are not two

3611
05:07:48.319 --> 05:07:52.520
people who lead identical lives or contain
the same information within their body mind system.

3612
05:07:52.840 --> 05:07:56.720
Still. There are some basic rules
that govern the inner intelligence of all.

3613
05:07:56.840 --> 05:08:04.000
One s inteligne is made to flow
two. Every impulse of intelligence has

3614
05:08:04.119 --> 05:08:10.400
a physical correlation. Three. The
body remains in balance by means of rhythms

3615
05:08:10.520 --> 05:08:14.799
and complex cycles. These biorhythms are
our link to the greatest rhythms of nature.

3616
05:08:17.040 --> 05:08:19.319
Four. When the body is in
balance, it emits signs of comfort.

3617
05:08:19.599 --> 05:08:25.279
When out of balance, it emits
signs of discomfort. Comfort indicates that

3618
05:08:25.360 --> 05:08:29.400
a person is in harmonious relationship with
his environment. The discomfort indicates that some

3619
05:08:29.479 --> 05:08:33.680
form of dissonance has arisen. Five, Living in harmony with the rhythms of

3620
05:08:33.799 --> 05:08:40.439
the body defeats entropy, allowing a
seamless flow of biological information. Living in

3621
05:08:40.520 --> 05:08:44.200
opposition to the rhythms of the body
produces an increase in entropy that leads to

3622
05:08:44.279 --> 05:08:48.080
disorder. If my intention is to
live in harmony with my environment, the

3623
05:08:48.159 --> 05:08:52.560
best indication of success is the feeling
of comfort of my body. We go

3624
05:08:52.599 --> 05:08:56.880
through so many experiences in life that
it is difficult to have a sense of

3625
05:08:56.959 --> 05:09:00.759
the true basis of comfort. At
every moment of the existence. Many physical

3626
05:09:00.799 --> 05:09:06.799
and psychological factors merge, but nature
has programmed us biologically with rhythms and cycles

3627
05:09:06.840 --> 05:09:12.799
that have a remarkable similarity in most
people. A certain new science, called

3628
05:09:12.799 --> 05:09:17.040
chronobiology, the biology of time,
has studied the effects of these cycles on

3629
05:09:17.119 --> 05:09:22.119
everyday life. The chronobiology, founded
and thus called by Dr Vanshouberg, professor

3630
05:09:22.200 --> 05:09:26.040
of medicine at the University of Menzora, ensures that the body has an internal

3631
05:09:26.119 --> 05:09:32.520
music that we can and should tune
in so that you pass the view of

3632
05:09:32.639 --> 05:09:34.799
my last word to this one.
For example, ten or twelve activities need

3633
05:09:34.880 --> 05:09:40.680
to be intertwined with total precision.
Every cell phone and on it. Every

3634
05:09:40.799 --> 05:09:45.520
brain neuron pulses hundreds of times.
For the second, with electrical charges created

3635
05:09:45.599 --> 05:09:48.000
by pumping potassium and sodium ions through
the cell membrane, the synaxis or empty

3636
05:09:48.240 --> 05:09:53.439
spaces between the different neurons trigger neurotransmitter
discharges to send signals through the optic nerve

3637
05:09:53.479 --> 05:09:59.959
and through the visual cortex. The
tiny muscles that move the eyes ex three

3638
05:10:00.000 --> 05:10:04.840
are constantly rocking like a dead-
end engine, throbbing with chemical discharges.

3639
05:10:06.279 --> 05:10:11.520
All this cellular pulsation in turn depends
on incredibly fast vibrations of atomic clocks in

3640
05:10:11.560 --> 05:10:18.479
the quantum plane. Biorhythms have many
medical implications. The body temperature of each

3641
05:10:18.639 --> 05:10:22.959
one has a daily cycle. As
for hormones, they move in complexly woven

3642
05:10:22.040 --> 05:10:30.000
cycles, whose daily rhythms form plot
with monthly and seasonal cycles. Growth hormone,

3643
05:10:30.240 --> 05:10:33.400
for example, changes daily, while
a woman' s menstrual cycle reflects

3644
05:10:33.439 --> 05:10:41.080
monthly hormone rhythms. Rheumatoid arthritis hurts
more in the morning. When the body

3645
05:10:41.159 --> 05:10:45.360
' s natural inflammatory agents appear to
be low. This is the best time

3646
05:10:45.439 --> 05:10:49.759
to take aspirin or other soothing drugs. Blood pressure and adrenaline peak in the

3647
05:10:49.840 --> 05:10:56.200
morning. That may explain why so
many cardiac or brain thrombosis occur at nine

3648
05:10:56.279 --> 05:11:00.880
o' clock. In asthmatics,
bronchial tubes are more constricted at night than

3649
05:11:00.959 --> 05:11:04.919
in the morning. By studying individual
patient cycles, we can prevent diseases.

3650
05:11:08.880 --> 05:11:15.479
Some babies may have blood pressure cycles
that report high blood pressure in adulthood,

3651
05:11:15.799 --> 05:11:21.479
for example, and heat fluctuations in
the breast may predict tumors. The host

3652
05:11:21.560 --> 05:11:25.200
doctor has made fascinating findings about how
the outcome of a surgical operation or chemotherapy

3653
05:11:25.319 --> 05:11:30.680
may be altered depending on when it
is performed. For example, women who

3654
05:11:30.759 --> 05:11:34.479
have had breast cancer during the menstrual
period or in the previous week are four

3655
05:11:34.560 --> 05:11:38.560
times more likely to have a reproduction
of the disease and to die within 10

3656
05:11:38.680 --> 05:11:42.919
years compared to women who have undergone
surgery between the seventh and twentieth days of

3657
05:11:44.000 --> 05:11:48.759
the menstrual cycle. This finding is
consistent with a preliminary study by the New

3658
05:11:48.959 --> 05:11:53.240
York Alban Medical Center. The reason
may be that hormones released around the menstrual

3659
05:11:53.360 --> 05:12:00.119
period cancel out the immune system by
averaging the cycle. Instead, predatory immune

3660
05:12:00.200 --> 05:12:07.200
cells can be present in large numbers
and destroy any malignant cells that the surgeon

3661
05:12:07.279 --> 05:12:14.639
overlooks synchronizing chemotherapy by adjusting to the
body' s biorhythms. He has also

3662
05:12:14.680 --> 05:12:18.400
helped patients with rectal, pancreatic or
ovarian collo bladder cancer, according to researchers

3663
05:12:18.479 --> 05:12:25.240
at the University of Texas at Housten. Since cancer cells have different activity models

3664
05:12:25.279 --> 05:12:29.840
from normal cells, it is better
to supply drugs when cancer cells are active

3665
05:12:29.919 --> 05:12:36.159
and normal inactive. Therefore, lower
doses may be given and toxicity reduced.

3666
05:12:37.880 --> 05:12:41.919
After extensive testing of many critical functions
at various times of the day, chronobiologists

3667
05:12:41.040 --> 05:12:49.599
have developed a schedule for optimal efficiency. Attention increases noticeably tomorrow, noon late

3668
05:12:49.759 --> 05:12:55.000
or late afternoon. Nightfall. From
nightfall to midnight at dawn, short-

3669
05:12:55.520 --> 05:13:02.720
term memory is at its peak.
Decreases the weakness of allergens. Sex hormones

3670
05:13:02.759 --> 05:13:08.799
get to the maximum. Maximum body
temperature. Increased attention. Humor is at

3671
05:13:08.840 --> 05:13:17.200
its best, the view is sharper, manual dexterity reaches its peak. Flexibility

3672
05:13:17.279 --> 05:13:21.959
is at its highest point. Long- term memory is at its best.

3673
05:13:22.759 --> 05:13:30.439
Best time for easy and repetitive tasks, Best time for physical exercise. Taste

3674
05:13:30.560 --> 05:13:37.560
and smell charge their greatest acuity.
Worse time for allergies, worse time to

3675
05:13:37.639 --> 05:13:42.000
eat an abundant meal. If you
want to lose weight, metabolism is at

3676
05:13:42.040 --> 05:13:48.040
its lowest point. The attention is
very low. Between three and six in

3677
05:13:48.080 --> 05:13:53.240
the morning, period of greater propensity
to accidents, more common period to give

3678
05:13:53.319 --> 05:13:59.360
birth can be discussed whether or not
it is advisable to try to live according

3679
05:13:59.360 --> 05:14:03.880
to these exact schedules. The fact
that the body delivered to his will awakens

3680
05:14:03.919 --> 05:14:07.959
and sleeps, naturally in a twenty- five- hour cycle, known as

3681
05:14:07.040 --> 05:14:11.360
Circadian rhythm, does not prevent us
from waking up and sleeping according to a

3682
05:14:11.400 --> 05:14:15.119
twenty- four- hour cycle without
suffering any harm. On the other hand,

3683
05:14:15.560 --> 05:14:18.799
studies carried out on night workers have
shown that the body never fully adapts

3684
05:14:18.919 --> 05:14:23.759
to the reversal of the cycle of
vigil and sleep. Night workers suffer from

3685
05:14:23.880 --> 05:14:27.720
a higher incidence of colds and depression
than daytime workers and tend to have a

3686
05:14:27.799 --> 05:14:36.319
chronically weakened immune system. The fundamental
importance of biorhythms, I believe, is

3687
05:14:36.360 --> 05:14:40.639
that they provide the basis for the
state of non- dynamic change. I

3688
05:14:40.680 --> 05:14:44.439
used this phrase earlier to designate the
balance of opposites that must be maintained in

3689
05:14:44.479 --> 05:14:48.520
order for the body to resist disorder. We need to feel and move in

3690
05:14:48.599 --> 05:14:55.159
balanced cycles. If you decide to
run a marathon and your body insists on

3691
05:14:55.240 --> 05:14:59.639
maintaining its normal operating levels, you
will collapse very soon. For you to

3692
05:14:59.680 --> 05:15:03.880
run, you need an accelerated heart
rate, higher body temperature, and high

3693
05:15:03.959 --> 05:15:08.439
blood pressure. In medical terms,
the runner must suffer a fever, mild

3694
05:15:08.840 --> 05:15:15.040
tachycardia and hypertension, but all this
is perfectly normal when it runs, assuming

3695
05:15:15.080 --> 05:15:18.240
it stays within healthy limits and everything
goes back to its point of equilibrium.

3696
05:15:18.759 --> 05:15:23.159
When the runner is again at rest, we are driven and brought by a

3697
05:15:23.279 --> 05:15:29.360
tide of balance and imbalance that goes
and comes to every second dozens of bodily

3698
05:15:29.439 --> 05:15:33.880
functions are disturbed, which means that
any fixed definition of health loses meaning.

3699
05:15:33.680 --> 05:15:37.479
It would be like trying to define
a symphony by stopping the orchestra in a

3700
05:15:37.479 --> 05:15:41.400
chord. Food, water and air
flow through us in rhythmic patterns determined by

3701
05:15:41.479 --> 05:15:49.000
dozens of variants and the residue of
experience accumulates as changing sand dunes. Structure

3702
05:15:49.080 --> 05:15:55.560
and movement. The fixed and the
changing count equally. Your doctor can tell

3703
05:15:55.639 --> 05:15:59.799
you that you have a resting pulse
of eighty a blood pressure of 120 diagonal

3704
05:15:59.840 --> 05:16:03.119
are and a body temperature of thirty- seven degrees Celsius, all of which

3705
05:16:03.240 --> 05:16:10.520
is considered normal. However, this
assessment is only for convenience. Such measures

3706
05:16:10.599 --> 05:16:12.759
are only valid for the time of
the day when they are performed, for

3707
05:16:12.919 --> 05:16:18.119
each dance around its point of equilibrium, creating the music of the living body.

3708
05:16:18.639 --> 05:16:23.799
When the music dies. Aging is
characterized by the loss of many points

3709
05:16:23.880 --> 05:16:30.400
of balance fundamental to the body.
The elderly usually notice that their body temperature

3710
05:16:30.479 --> 05:16:33.759
recovers more slowly from extremes of cold
and heat, decreases their sense of balance,

3711
05:16:34.000 --> 05:16:40.319
making it difficult to walk, blood
sugar, hormone levels and metabolic cup

3712
05:16:40.360 --> 05:16:44.880
change to understand why this happens,
we can study one of the worst imbalances

3713
05:16:45.000 --> 05:16:52.200
of aging. High blood pressure,
if hypertension is not treated, can shorten

3714
05:16:52.279 --> 05:16:55.560
life in an average of twenty years, which makes it much more lethal than

3715
05:16:55.639 --> 05:16:59.880
any other disease alone. Hi i
r or r hyper n n n is

3716
05:17:00.159 --> 05:17:03.000
not a disease, but an altered
cycle in the body' s natural rhythms.

3717
05:17:03.959 --> 05:17:07.400
It is the brain that controls blood
pressure by attaching to a cycle that

3718
05:17:07.520 --> 05:17:11.000
goes up and down throughout the day, responding to all kinds of internal and

3719
05:17:11.080 --> 05:17:17.360
external keys. Measuring blood pressure is
therefore like taking a snapshot of a wave.

3720
05:17:18.159 --> 05:17:22.040
At least three well- separated readings
are needed to glimpse the peaks and

3721
05:17:22.119 --> 05:17:27.880
valleys of the cycle that sometimes takes
several days to complete. Blood pressure goes

3722
05:17:29.000 --> 05:17:32.360
up and down in all, but
in some the fall does not return to

3723
05:17:32.439 --> 05:17:34.919
its previous circle. This is how
the elevated pressure begins to leak. Over

3724
05:17:36.040 --> 05:17:41.520
time, the cyclic shift will eventually
be diverted to hypertension. This trend is

3725
05:17:41.599 --> 05:17:45.119
common among those who age according to
a foreseeable general pattern. Here' s

3726
05:17:45.200 --> 05:17:49.360
the table for men between the ages
of 20 and 70, average blood pressure

3727
05:17:49.360 --> 05:17:59.560
in men. Age twenty- two
hundred twenty- two over seventy- six,

3728
05:17:59.680 --> 05:18:04.520
age thirty- hundred twenty- five
over seventy- six, age forty

3729
05:18:04.720 --> 05:18:07.240
- one hundred twenty- nine over
eighty- one. Age fifty- one

3730
05:18:07.319 --> 05:18:12.759
hundred thirty- four over eighty-
three age sixty- one hundred forty over

3731
05:18:12.799 --> 05:18:18.240
eighty- three, age seventy-
one, age forty- eight over eighty

3732
05:18:18.240 --> 05:18:22.680
- one. The table shows a
similar ascent in both diastolic and high-

3733
05:18:22.360 --> 05:18:27.319
systolic low indication, but in different
proportions. Diastolic or resting blood pressure increases

3734
05:18:27.360 --> 05:18:33.119
half that of the other. The
same trend occurs in women, although the

3735
05:18:33.560 --> 05:18:38.279
rise is generally slower. This elevation
is not normal. In order to stay

3736
05:18:38.680 --> 05:18:44.560
healthy, the body needs to maintain
normal indications that round the 120 diagonal eighty,

3737
05:18:44.759 --> 05:18:48.799
although for a time higher levels may
be acceptable, since hypertension is usually

3738
05:18:48.880 --> 05:18:55.119
defined as one whose indicators exceed the
140 diagonal ninety. The average man seems

3739
05:18:55.240 --> 05:18:57.840
to be safe until after seventy years, but in reality there are sixty million

3740
05:18:57.919 --> 05:19:02.880
Americans, about a third of all
adults, who have already crossed the threshold

3741
05:19:02.959 --> 05:19:08.439
toward hypertension. Even a small incursion
can be dangerous. Half of the deaths

3742
05:19:08.520 --> 05:19:14.720
associated with high blood pressure occur among
border patients, whose pressure is around 130

3743
05:19:14.799 --> 05:19:21.119
diagonal 90. Many men from thirty
to forty years old are already on this

3744
05:19:21.240 --> 05:19:25.919
part of the scale. Compared to
a healthy person, who suffers from hypertension

3745
05:19:26.000 --> 05:19:29.880
is twice as likely to die in
the following year. Triple risk of dying

3746
05:19:29.959 --> 05:19:33.880
from a heart attack. Quadruple from
cardiac arrest and seven times the risk of

3747
05:19:33.000 --> 05:19:41.560
brain thrombosis. The price of losing
internal balance is very high. The list

3748
05:19:41.639 --> 05:19:45.919
of influences that can raise blood pressure
is long and varied. If you demand

3749
05:19:45.959 --> 05:19:52.319
a lot of blood pressure from your
body, emotional and nervous stresses can cause

3750
05:19:52.400 --> 05:19:56.279
the same result even without any outside
influence. The time of day exerts its

3751
05:19:56.319 --> 05:20:00.479
effect. One of the complications that
can make the day difficult. Gnostic of

3752
05:20:00.520 --> 05:20:04.479
hypertensions that some people present the maximum
indicator at night, but ninety percent of

3753
05:20:04.520 --> 05:20:10.560
patients with high blood pressure are classified
as essential hypertensives, which means that there

3754
05:20:10.560 --> 05:20:18.479
is no identifiable cause for that disorder. Some researchers have put portable monitors on

3755
05:20:18.560 --> 05:20:23.200
secretaries, nurses, and brokers who
have normal blood pressure. The monitor can

3756
05:20:23.279 --> 05:20:29.319
electronically send a constant reading of normal
blood pressure changes that cause typical day events.

3757
05:20:30.840 --> 05:20:36.000
These researchers discovered that fiction is normal. If you talk about a fixed

3758
05:20:36.080 --> 05:20:40.360
number. When the secretary received a
scream, the nurse was tending to a

3759
05:20:40.439 --> 05:20:42.720
gunshot wound or the stockbroker was trading
in the frenzy of a low market,

3760
05:20:42.919 --> 05:20:48.880
blood pressure was going to the ceiling. The proportion of promotion depended on the

3761
05:20:48.959 --> 05:20:52.680
person and the care. There were
also individual variations. As for the duration.

3762
05:20:53.080 --> 05:20:56.439
The nurse could continue with high blood
pressure six hours after the emergency,

3763
05:20:56.799 --> 05:21:02.919
when she was already at home seemingly
relaxed and eating quietly, so her body

3764
05:21:03.000 --> 05:21:08.080
was concerned, the memory of stress
was as real as stress itself. This

3765
05:21:08.200 --> 05:21:11.599
gives us a valuable clue. The
body' s memory of stress causes normal

3766
05:21:11.680 --> 05:21:17.200
cycles to be disturbed by balance.
Instead of returning to the original position,

3767
05:21:17.720 --> 05:21:22.439
they deviate a little over time.
The net result is a state of dynamic

3768
05:21:22.560 --> 05:21:29.479
imbalance. Vaivén' s dance continues, but somewhat out of line applied to

3769
05:21:29.560 --> 05:21:36.240
aging. This can be represented by
a simple diagram state of rest stress state

3770
05:21:36.360 --> 05:21:41.319
of rest. Each point represents one
of the many points of balance of blood

3771
05:21:41.400 --> 05:21:45.759
pressure, body temperature, endocrine levels, etc, which the intelligence of the

3772
05:21:45.919 --> 05:21:51.759
body keeps in balance under stress.
They all move evenly just to get back

3773
05:21:51.840 --> 05:21:55.520
to the original position. When the
body returns to its state of rest.

3774
05:21:56.479 --> 05:21:59.680
Let' s say the chart above
is yours at the age of twenty.

3775
05:22:00.759 --> 05:22:04.200
When you' re sixty, the
image will be diverted to stress, even

3776
05:22:04.319 --> 05:22:10.799
if you' re not under stress. The process of aging state of rest

3777
05:22:10.880 --> 05:22:15.240
stress state of rest. The difference
between the state of rest and stress is

3778
05:22:15.319 --> 05:22:19.240
now much greater and when the tension
passes, the body still feels the effects.

3779
05:22:21.799 --> 05:22:25.720
Balance points have moved as a result
of keeping too much of the memory

3780
05:22:25.840 --> 05:22:30.360
of stress. In physical terms,
stress hormones have damaged various tissues. In

3781
05:22:30.479 --> 05:22:34.959
subjective terms, the person feels less
energy and starts a vague sense of deterioration

3782
05:22:36.040 --> 05:22:40.840
that will increase over time. The
deviated points on the right make me think

3783
05:22:40.880 --> 05:22:45.840
about the way the elders walk.
His forward- looking stance denotes the imbalances

3784
05:22:45.919 --> 05:22:49.959
that are devastating his physiology. Finally, the balance collapses at the time of

3785
05:22:51.080 --> 05:23:00.360
death. Approximation to death state of
rest stress state of rest. The scattered

3786
05:23:00.439 --> 05:23:04.040
points represent points of equilibrium that depart
from order, meaning that the intelligence of

3787
05:23:04.159 --> 05:23:08.599
the body has little or no control
over them. Near death, the body

3788
05:23:08.840 --> 05:23:12.840
is so close to total imbalance that
adding any tension in the form of a

3789
05:23:12.919 --> 05:23:18.639
disease, an emotional blow or simple
everyday challenges represents too great an effort for

3790
05:23:18.759 --> 05:23:22.479
the weakened network of information that is
the plane of life. Balance points begin

3791
05:23:22.520 --> 05:23:29.240
to get messy in some critical area. The heart rate is erratic, it

3792
05:23:29.319 --> 05:23:33.200
is broken, the immune system,
an ulcer is pierced, the state of

3793
05:23:33.319 --> 05:23:37.240
non- dynamic change loses its coherence
and in death, the points of balance

3794
05:23:37.319 --> 05:23:44.840
are disseminated. In disorder, entropy
has triumphed. The best defense against this

3795
05:23:44.919 --> 05:23:48.599
catastrophe is to preserve and renew the
instinct that leads the body to balance.

3796
05:23:49.080 --> 05:23:52.240
The fact that blood pressure is under
the control of the nervous system, autonomous

3797
05:23:52.279 --> 05:23:59.319
or involuntary, in other times convinced
doctors that it escaped conscious control. However,

3798
05:23:59.639 --> 05:24:03.599
three decades of research on biofeedback,
meditation, hypnosis, and other body

3799
05:24:03.599 --> 05:24:07.119
mind techniques have shown that the mind
is capable of taking command of involuntary functions.

3800
05:24:11.040 --> 05:24:14.759
The deeper question is to uncontrol an
uncompromised rhythm, such as blood pressure,

3801
05:24:15.240 --> 05:24:18.240
means that a much broader effect such
as aging could also be controlled.

3802
05:24:21.040 --> 05:24:25.200
It is not possible to connect someone
to a biofeedback machine that emits a sonic

3803
05:24:25.279 --> 05:24:30.279
signal every time that person ages.
Fortunately, there is a very broad base

3804
05:24:30.400 --> 05:24:36.319
cycle in the body that directly reflects
the aging process, the hormone cycle.

3805
05:24:37.560 --> 05:24:45.080
These messenger molecules carry in themselves an
enormous amount of information circulating within us.

3806
05:24:47.119 --> 05:24:51.000
If hormonal balance can be preserved,
we will have a reliable indicator that the

3807
05:24:51.040 --> 05:24:56.439
intelligence flow is also balanced. In
many of the most important changes in aging,

3808
05:24:56.040 --> 05:25:00.360
mediators may be active hormones for attention
that can be avoided by controlling stress.

3809
05:25:03.880 --> 05:25:11.840
This is the possibility that we will
then investigate the invisible threat of aging

3810
05:25:11.000 --> 05:25:17.319
stress and body rhythms. For more
than fifty years, physiologists know that animals

3811
05:25:17.360 --> 05:25:22.479
under stress age very quickly if you
put a mouse on an electric grid and

3812
05:25:22.560 --> 05:25:26.680
apply shocks to it. You don' t need to raise the power to

3813
05:25:26.759 --> 05:25:33.479
such a level to kill him by
simply applying very slight discharges at irregular intervals,

3814
05:25:33.720 --> 05:25:36.479
you will awaken the mouse' s
reaction to stress. Every time this

3815
05:25:36.639 --> 05:25:41.080
happens, the body breaks down a
little bit. Within a few days.

3816
05:25:41.400 --> 05:25:45.639
Subject to that tension, the mouse
will die and the autopsy will reveal that

3817
05:25:45.720 --> 05:25:49.520
its tissues present many signs of accelerated
aging. As the discharges themselves were mild,

3818
05:25:49.840 --> 05:25:52.919
the cause of death was not external
tension, but the mouse' s

3819
05:25:53.000 --> 05:26:00.159
reaction. His body killed himself.
Similarly, s s s human. We

3820
05:26:00.240 --> 05:26:04.479
can endure extraordinary stresses of the environment, but if we are too demanded our

3821
05:26:04.560 --> 05:26:08.759
response to stress turns against one'
s own body and begins to cause decompostures,

3822
05:26:08.919 --> 05:26:12.840
both physically and mentally. In war, which is a state of is

3823
05:26:14.000 --> 05:26:18.400
three continuous and extreme. All borderline
soldiers fall sooner or later into war neurosis

3824
05:26:18.759 --> 05:26:25.599
or combat fatigue and are kept under
fire for too long. Both syndromes are

3825
05:26:25.639 --> 05:26:30.680
signs that the body exceeds its own
resistance mechanisms. The human brain retains a

3826
05:26:30.759 --> 05:26:36.439
primitive memory that is programmed to face
every tension, basically the same way our

3827
05:26:36.560 --> 05:26:41.319
ancestors faced the saber tigers. If
someone points a gun at you and threatens

3828
05:26:41.439 --> 05:26:48.520
to shoot instantly, you make a
dramatic leap to an intensified state of attention

3829
05:26:48.599 --> 05:26:52.880
all over your body, a response
bursts out that requires you to fight or

3830
05:26:52.959 --> 05:26:56.560
run away preparing for action. An
alarm message from the brain releases a torrent

3831
05:26:56.599 --> 05:27:00.200
of adrenaline from the adrenal cortex that
runs through the blood and neo. It

3832
05:27:00.240 --> 05:27:04.880
was completely the usual functioning of the
body. Most of the time your cells

3833
05:27:04.919 --> 05:27:10.319
are busy in renewal. About ninety
percent of cell energy is normally applied to

3834
05:27:10.400 --> 05:27:15.159
producing new proteins and to manufacturing adn
and arn However, when the brain perceives

3835
05:27:15.240 --> 05:27:19.680
a threat, the construction process is
put aside, already decided, to fight

3836
05:27:19.759 --> 05:27:26.319
and to flee. Your body needs
a strong burst of energy to boost the

3837
05:27:26.479 --> 05:27:32.759
muscles. To allow this, the
normal style of metabolism that builds the body,

3838
05:27:33.080 --> 05:27:37.240
called anabolic metabolism, becomes its opposite, the catabolic metabolism that breaks down

3839
05:27:37.360 --> 05:27:44.840
the tissues the adrenaline launches a cascade
of responses, It raises blood pressure,

3840
05:27:45.319 --> 05:27:48.560
muscles tighten, breathing becomes fast and
shallow, Sexual desire and hunger are nullified,

3841
05:27:48.959 --> 05:27:56.439
digestion ceases. The brain becomes hyper
alert and the senses mysteriously acute.

3842
05:27:56.959 --> 05:28:00.599
In moments of intense fear, as
in battles, soldiers hear themselves breathe as

3843
05:28:00.680 --> 05:28:03.840
if they were bellows, and the
eyes of the approaching enemy seem great as

3844
05:28:03.919 --> 05:28:10.599
saucers. As a temporary record,
stress response is vital, but if time

3845
05:28:10.680 --> 05:28:15.959
does not end, the effects of
catabolic metabolism are disastrous. In prolonged situations,

3846
05:28:17.080 --> 05:28:22.479
each aspect of excitation under stress leads
to a specific disorder resulting disease response,

3847
05:28:23.119 --> 05:28:30.919
mobilized energy, fatigue, muscle destruction, diabetes, increased cardiovascular activity,

3848
05:28:32.400 --> 05:28:37.759
stress- induced hypertension, suppressed digestion, ulceration, growth, suppressed psychogenic dwarfism,

3849
05:28:38.520 --> 05:28:45.560
suppressed reproduction, impotence, loss of
livid, menstruation interruption, suppression of

3850
05:28:45.560 --> 05:28:52.360
response, increased risk of immune disease, increased acuteness of thought and perception,

3851
05:28:52.560 --> 05:29:00.759
neuronal damage or death. The most
striking of these consequences of prolonged stress is

3852
05:29:00.840 --> 05:29:04.560
that, overall, they are very
much like aging. Hypertension, ulcers,

3853
05:29:06.159 --> 05:29:12.080
impotence, muscle wear and diabetes are
common signs of aging. The elderly have

3854
05:29:12.159 --> 05:29:17.919
less resistance to the disease and senility
seems to be directly linked to the loss

3855
05:29:18.040 --> 05:29:22.599
or damage of brain neurons. Superficially, these symptoms do not seem related,

3856
05:29:23.200 --> 05:29:29.200
but they are unified as extreme results
of the stress response. Stress researchers have

3857
05:29:29.279 --> 05:29:33.759
shown that excitement only occurs at the
beginning of attention. If the threat does

3858
05:29:33.919 --> 05:29:37.759
not cease, the citation becomes exhaustion, as the body cannot return to normal

3859
05:29:37.840 --> 05:29:44.159
anabolic metabolism, which builds reserves of
tissue and energy. Therefore, the elderly

3860
05:29:44.520 --> 05:29:48.080
seem to be victims of war neurosis, exhausted by too long exposure to the

3861
05:29:48.240 --> 05:29:56.560
struggle of life. As aging progresses, there is a universal even decline in

3862
05:29:56.680 --> 05:30:00.000
the response to stress. Older people
take longer to recover from stress and tolerate

3863
05:30:00.119 --> 05:30:06.200
stronger tensions less. For example,
it is extremely rare for a young person

3864
05:30:06.279 --> 05:30:10.200
to die of grief, a fact
that becomes more frequent with aging. This

3865
05:30:10.279 --> 05:30:15.680
decline is more than a fall in
a straight line is exponentially duplicated. This

3866
05:30:15.759 --> 05:30:19.119
means that a year of old age
causes as much deterioration in the response to

3867
05:30:19.240 --> 05:30:23.119
stress as two years of age.
Grown up in very old people can take

3868
05:30:23.240 --> 05:30:26.720
only six months. With the passage
of time, the instinct to return to

3869
05:30:26.799 --> 05:30:30.759
balance completely breaks down and even the
mildest tensions. A flu attack, a

3870
05:30:32.080 --> 05:30:36.520
fall without gravity the loss of a
small sum of money become extremely difficult to

3871
05:30:36.680 --> 05:30:42.439
bear. When you blame yourself for
the stress of a disease, people hastily

3872
05:30:42.560 --> 05:30:47.159
deduce that the problem is an excessive
stress. Actually, the failure is in

3873
05:30:47.200 --> 05:30:52.080
the body' s resistance mechanism.
Mice suffering from excess discharge are a good

3874
05:30:52.240 --> 05:30:56.759
example. If their bodies had time
to recover between one discharge and another,

3875
05:30:56.119 --> 05:31:00.720
the animals would not suffer harm,
but the frequency of the discharges overwhelms physiology

3876
05:31:00.799 --> 05:31:07.919
and over time, exhausts their ability
to return to normal. When Han Salley

3877
05:31:07.959 --> 05:31:11.360
introduced the concept of stress in the
1930s, he assumed that a powerful external

3878
05:31:11.400 --> 05:31:15.720
stress factor, such as a physical
wound, hunger, exposure to heat or

3879
05:31:15.759 --> 05:31:19.479
cold, lack of sleep would cause
the same response to stress at every opportunity.

3880
05:31:22.040 --> 05:31:25.720
But it didn' t work out
that way. When two monkeys are

3881
05:31:25.759 --> 05:31:30.479
deprived of food for a long period, their bodies react by producing glucocorticoids.

3882
05:31:30.840 --> 05:31:36.959
He' s got three hormones we' re already familiar with. Faced with

3883
05:31:37.000 --> 05:31:41.080
the danger of starvation. The body
of monkeys must begin to break down their

3884
05:31:41.159 --> 05:31:45.599
muscles in order to survive. But
one of the monkeys is provided with artificially

3885
05:31:45.639 --> 05:31:51.720
sweetened water that has no nutritional value. His glucocorticoids levels do not rise.

3886
05:31:51.959 --> 05:31:56.840
Although he has not actually received any
food. The monkey perceives that his situation

3887
05:31:56.880 --> 05:32:00.520
has improved, and that is enough
to indicate to his body that the threat

3888
05:32:00.599 --> 05:32:06.959
of starvation has passed in many ways. Stress research has not recovered from this

3889
05:32:07.000 --> 05:32:14.799
amazing discovery. How can a mirage
of food replace the actual food? The

3890
05:32:14.919 --> 05:32:18.240
only possible answer, in my view, is that the monkey felt fed from

3891
05:32:18.319 --> 05:32:23.799
within and his body accepted that perception
of satisfaction as food. The theory of

3892
05:32:23.919 --> 05:32:29.799
stress must be modified to include the
bonding of the body mind, as invisible

3893
05:32:29.919 --> 05:32:33.840
elements, such as interpretation, belief
and attitude, have an enormous importance in

3894
05:32:33.919 --> 05:32:41.000
the actual functioning of the response to
stress. Stress stages. When you experience

3895
05:32:41.080 --> 05:32:45.279
attention, your reaction has three phases. One to the event that brings attention,

3896
05:32:45.759 --> 05:32:48.959
two, the internal evaluation that you
make of it, three the reaction

3897
05:32:49.040 --> 05:32:52.840
of your body, which makes the
response to stress. Something so hard to

3898
05:32:52.919 --> 05:32:56.759
handle is that, once initiated,
the mind no longer has control over it.

3899
05:32:57.759 --> 05:33:02.959
In totally inappropriate situations, such as
being in the middle of a traffic

3900
05:33:03.040 --> 05:33:07.159
jam or receiving criticism at work,
the response to hopeless stress can be triggered

3901
05:33:07.200 --> 05:33:11.759
if it can meet its goal,
fight or run away. Modern life is

3902
05:33:11.840 --> 05:33:18.119
full of external events that produce stress
that cannot be avoided. A city is

3903
05:33:18.599 --> 05:33:23.279
essentially a monolithic stress machine that produces
noise and environmental pollution, along with excessive

3904
05:33:23.400 --> 05:33:30.119
speed, overcrowding, crime and rudeness. With regard to a single always prevailing

3905
05:33:30.200 --> 05:33:36.720
stress factor, noise pollution. Studies
suggest many harmful effects. The incidence of

3906
05:33:36.799 --> 05:33:41.400
mental disorders rises under air corridors in
the vicinity of airports. Children living near

3907
05:33:41.520 --> 05:33:47.360
Los Angeles airport have a higher blood
pressure than the abnormal one. In the

3908
05:33:47.400 --> 05:33:51.959
vicinity of uncontrollable noise, sleep disturbances
continue long after one believes one has adapted

3909
05:33:52.119 --> 05:33:57.000
to it. Outbreaks of violence and
rudeness are more common in noisy working environments.

3910
05:34:00.680 --> 05:34:07.560
No need for loud noise to be
harmful. Stress occurs when any irritating

3911
05:34:07.639 --> 05:34:14.159
noise repeats over and over again out
of your control. This carries with it

3912
05:34:14.240 --> 05:34:18.240
the task of facing stress In phase
two the evaluation. Even if you can

3913
05:34:18.319 --> 05:34:22.080
' t control the event that causes
tension and your body' s reaction to

3914
05:34:22.080 --> 05:34:25.840
it, your evaluation. The vital
link between the event and the reaction depends

3915
05:34:25.959 --> 05:34:30.439
on you Any situation that seems outwardly
the same can become powerful stress by changing

3916
05:34:30.520 --> 05:34:36.200
its interpretation. A cop who appears
at the scene of a crime provokes a

3917
05:34:36.279 --> 05:34:40.279
tremendous fear in the criminal, but
a great relief in the victim. A

3918
05:34:40.360 --> 05:34:44.240
cancer diagnosis induces terrible stress in the
patient, but not in the doctor.

3919
05:34:45.560 --> 05:34:51.240
The completely personal way we filter all
the facts determines the ability to produce tension.

3920
05:34:51.759 --> 05:34:56.880
In us. The external stress motives
are basically activators. If you don

3921
05:34:56.959 --> 05:35:03.119
' t feel active, there'
s no stress. The myth has been

3922
05:35:03.200 --> 05:35:07.840
imposed that some people benefit them.
Stress. They perform best with tight time

3923
05:35:07.919 --> 05:35:12.439
limits and bloom in the heat of
competition. What actually happens is that they

3924
05:35:12.520 --> 05:35:17.759
don' t activate physiologically. No
one can use the body to constantly add

3925
05:35:17.759 --> 05:35:22.360
cortisol and adrenaline. As we have
seen, the function of these hormones is

3926
05:35:22.439 --> 05:35:29.080
to break down tissues. Prolonged production
of these elements leads to disease. Therefore,

3927
05:35:29.279 --> 05:35:32.680
stress management is much more complicated than
is generally assumed, because every person

3928
05:35:32.759 --> 05:35:37.599
basically projects his or her interpretation of
a given situation from his or her memory.

3929
05:35:38.080 --> 05:35:42.840
Our way of reacting to new situations
is always influenced by our past experiences.

3930
05:35:45.439 --> 05:35:48.360
Instead of appreciating each new situation on
its own. We put it in

3931
05:35:48.479 --> 05:35:53.799
old categories. This happens instantly and
is beyond our control. Conscious. If

3932
05:35:53.880 --> 05:35:57.720
you hate raw oysters, it may
be enough to see them for you to

3933
05:35:57.720 --> 05:36:03.599
gag. If you are outraged by
a conflicting divorce, your anger will resurface

3934
05:36:03.680 --> 05:36:07.200
when you meet your ex with Miyuje
on the street. It is essential to

3935
05:36:07.279 --> 05:36:11.680
neutralize these old impressions, otherwise you
have no control over stress. The event

3936
05:36:11.720 --> 05:36:18.200
that brings attention will automatically activate your
response, making you his prisoner. This

3937
05:36:18.279 --> 05:36:23.520
unfortunate state has been the subject of
extensive research such as despair, diagonal bar,

3938
05:36:23.599 --> 05:36:29.639
defenselessness such as aging. It causes
deep sensations of both types. This

3939
05:36:29.720 --> 05:36:34.680
research has proved extremely valuable. A
classic physiology experiment is to tie two mice

3940
05:36:34.759 --> 05:36:38.799
together, so that only one has
freedom to eat, sleep, walk and

3941
05:36:38.799 --> 05:36:45.240
develop activities, while the other is
passively dragged. Soon, the two will

3942
05:36:45.360 --> 05:36:51.799
have considerable differences. The animal that
has freedom of choice continues robust and healthy,

3943
05:36:52.040 --> 05:36:56.319
while the other deprived of autonomy will
be apathetic, prone to disease and

3944
05:36:56.360 --> 05:37:03.439
aged ahead of time. The dragged
mouse has not suffered physical abuse, but

3945
05:37:03.479 --> 05:37:07.840
losing his freedom of choice extension enough
to activate in his body great destructive reactions.

3946
05:37:08.560 --> 05:37:12.560
In experiments that include similar techniques,
laboratory animals can be induced to develop

3947
05:37:12.599 --> 05:37:18.200
virtually any disease. If a disease, such as a chemically induced tumor,

3948
05:37:18.639 --> 05:37:25.040
has been introduced, it can be
made much faster. When a group of

3949
05:37:25.159 --> 05:37:29.520
rats is piled up as if they
were inhabitants of an tenant, their immune

3950
05:37:29.599 --> 05:37:33.319
system declines and signs of hypertension,
neurosis, apathy, and depression appear.

3951
05:37:34.200 --> 05:37:37.080
When a newborn monkey is separated from
his mother and deprived of emotional nutrition,

3952
05:37:37.439 --> 05:37:45.560
he shows signs of disorientation, hyperactivity, introversion and various learning disabilities. In

3953
05:37:45.639 --> 05:37:51.680
general induced stress has been found to
accelerate the spread of cancer in rats rabbits

3954
05:37:52.119 --> 05:37:57.159
and mice, in addition to encouraging
heart attacks, the critical factor interpretation.

3955
05:38:00.680 --> 05:38:03.279
Everyone has a different level of stress
tolerance, but these are the factors that

3956
05:38:03.319 --> 05:38:10.720
seem to be perceived as the greatest
threat in a given situation lack of foresight,

3957
05:38:11.159 --> 05:38:18.880
lack of control, lack of exits
for frustration. When these elements are

3958
05:38:18.959 --> 05:38:23.200
present, innocuous situations can become stressful, sometimes without keeping any proportion to the

3959
05:38:23.279 --> 05:38:27.159
stimulus itself, driving on the highway
behind a winding car, shattering nerves because

3960
05:38:27.240 --> 05:38:33.479
you can' t foresee what will
happen. Next. The same thing happens

3961
05:38:33.479 --> 05:38:37.720
yes, being at an airport,
your flight is delayed indefinitely. Both situations

3962
05:38:37.840 --> 05:38:42.119
contain the element of unforeseeableness. If
you find that you can' t open

3963
05:38:42.159 --> 05:38:45.880
your car you' re forced to
wait an hour until the locksmith arrives,

3964
05:38:47.119 --> 05:38:48.560
it' s very frustrating. Even
if you know you can open it.

3965
05:38:48.799 --> 05:38:53.560
You usually assume that the car is
under your control, but suddenly you discover

3966
05:38:53.680 --> 05:38:57.680
that it is not. It is
also maddening to engage in a heated discussion,

3967
05:38:57.919 --> 05:39:00.479
just so that the other ends up
giving two of the reason from good

3968
05:39:00.479 --> 05:39:04.040
to good. Even if you'
ve won the dispute, suddenly you'

3969
05:39:04.040 --> 05:39:08.919
re dead. For your anger,
it is unnecessary to say that everyday life

3970
05:39:08.959 --> 05:39:14.680
is full of similar situations. As
they build up. We internalize the memory

3971
05:39:14.840 --> 05:39:19.400
of them by reinforcing our conditioned responses. In a series of accurate experiments,

3972
05:39:19.799 --> 05:39:25.119
stress researchers have shown that there is
no need for external tension to provoke a

3973
05:39:25.200 --> 05:39:29.880
response to stress, but the simple
perception of inadvertence lack of control and lack

3974
05:39:29.919 --> 05:39:33.680
of exit for frustration. Experiments are
carried out with rats to which small cages

3975
05:39:33.759 --> 05:39:41.360
are placed and electric shocks are applied
under various unforeseen conditions. If rats are

3976
05:39:41.479 --> 05:39:45.639
given a red light as a warning
that a discharge will occur, they will

3977
05:39:45.759 --> 05:39:48.919
have a lower response to stress compared
to rats that are not given any warning.

3978
05:39:52.639 --> 05:39:56.319
The signal allows the animals to foresee
discharge and, thus removed anxiety the

3979
05:39:56.319 --> 05:40:03.119
body can relax. Rats are mere
to unforeseeable discharges should always be kept alert

3980
05:40:03.520 --> 05:40:08.880
Active state. Uncontrollable stress is subjected
to two rats with equal discharges, but

3981
05:40:10.000 --> 05:40:15.080
one may press a lever to decrease
the power of the discharge. The other

3982
05:40:15.439 --> 05:40:19.159
simply receives a discharge at the same
time as the first animal. Like the

3983
05:40:19.240 --> 05:40:23.400
second rat, it has no control
over the situation, it has a more

3984
05:40:23.479 --> 05:40:27.919
intense response to stress, although the
discharges are the same for both. In

3985
05:40:29.040 --> 05:40:33.240
a fascinating variation of the same subject, a rat is provided with a lever

3986
05:40:33.319 --> 05:40:37.119
that must be pressed to prevent the
discharge. If you are prevented from doing

3987
05:40:37.479 --> 05:40:38.880
so, you will experience a reaction
to stress. Even if no download is

3988
05:40:38.919 --> 05:40:45.560
applied to it. Just remembering that
before I had control creates a situation of

3989
05:40:47.400 --> 05:40:51.119
stress lack of exits for frustration.
When discharges are applied to lab rats,

3990
05:40:51.680 --> 05:40:55.439
they exhibit less stress and can gnaw
a piece of wood or attack another rat.

3991
05:40:56.720 --> 05:40:59.759
The same reduction occurs if you give
them something to eat or drink or

3992
05:41:00.119 --> 05:41:04.400
a wheel to play on. For
millions of people, life is so frustrating

3993
05:41:04.479 --> 05:41:08.360
that their only hope of relieving stress
is to overeat and drink. While entire

3994
05:41:08.479 --> 05:41:15.880
societies try to escape their distresses by
attacking other countries. They burst out over

3995
05:41:15.919 --> 05:41:18.720
matters that seem trivial to the observer, but frustration and lack of control are

3996
05:41:18.799 --> 05:41:23.560
conditions under which to live. It' s very painful. When you suddenly

3997
05:41:23.599 --> 05:41:30.080
die to someone close to you the
unbearable pain of loss gets stuck in powerful

3998
05:41:30.159 --> 05:41:33.959
intangible tensions. You would not have
been able to foresee death, you would

3999
05:41:33.959 --> 05:41:38.040
not have been able to prevent it
and, in many cases, there seems

4000
05:41:38.119 --> 05:41:41.520
to be no way of sufficiently expressing
the accumulated feelings of loss and abandonment.

4001
05:41:41.439 --> 05:41:45.880
This becomes especially painful, and the
person to whom you need to express your

4002
05:41:47.040 --> 05:41:51.000
feelings is the one who has died. In medical terms, the number of

4003
05:41:51.080 --> 05:41:56.479
diseases that are due to these elements
is large. Dr Georg Gigle, a

4004
05:41:56.599 --> 05:42:00.759
psychiatrist at the University of Rochester,
investigated one hundred and sixty cases of sudden

4005
05:42:00.840 --> 05:42:03.200
death that had no physical explanation.
Fifty- eight percent occurred at a time

4006
05:42:03.319 --> 05:42:07.520
of mourning or loss, thirty-
five percent at times of threat, Only

4007
05:42:07.599 --> 05:42:12.680
six percent coincided with a moment of
pleasure. It is not tension itself that

4008
05:42:12.759 --> 05:42:19.000
is fatal, as other people survive
the same losses and threats. What is

4009
05:42:19.080 --> 05:42:26.159
missing is the ability to endure attention. This vulnerability surpasses physical factors. When

4010
05:42:26.279 --> 05:42:30.200
a person under the age of 50
dies of a heart attack, for example,

4011
05:42:30.759 --> 05:42:34.439
one in two times there is none
of the classic risk factors for hypertension,

4012
05:42:36.439 --> 05:42:41.279
high cholesterol, and smoking. The
First Class of Cancer in America.

4013
05:42:41.119 --> 05:42:47.840
Lung cancer is directly linked to smoking, a habit that for most is purely

4014
05:42:47.880 --> 05:42:55.880
an outlet for frustrated emotions. A
pleasure used such as a caged rat uses

4015
05:42:55.959 --> 05:43:00.880
the piece of wood to gnaw in
the laboratory. Animals less evolved than frog

4016
05:43:02.000 --> 05:43:07.119
rats, for example, do not
respond to intangible stress factors. The key

4017
05:43:07.240 --> 05:43:11.520
factor is memory. If an animal
has only one primitive memory, it will

4018
05:43:11.560 --> 05:43:15.720
not recognize the difference between one situation
and the next. Rats recall the disagravel

4019
05:43:15.799 --> 05:43:19.759
sensation of the electrical discharge and can
therefore be trained to operate a lever in

4020
05:43:19.799 --> 05:43:26.680
order to avoid repetition. When removed
to the lever. Remembrance is also enough

4021
05:43:26.759 --> 05:43:33.040
to anticipate the next download. They
have expectations. It is a case similar

4022
05:43:33.119 --> 05:43:37.439
to that of the nervous patient who
jumps in the dentist' s chair as

4023
05:43:37.439 --> 05:43:41.040
soon as he hears the lathe,
the mere sound awakens, an expectation of

4024
05:43:41.479 --> 05:43:45.279
pain that in turn activates the response
to pain. In both cases, the

4025
05:43:45.319 --> 05:43:51.680
factor causing attention is expectation. This
has enormous implications for aging, because we

4026
05:43:51.840 --> 05:43:56.959
all carry within us a world,
the world of our past. We generate

4027
05:43:56.040 --> 05:44:00.799
our own tensions as we go back
to this world and the traumas printed on

4028
05:44:00.799 --> 05:44:04.319
it. Without the memory of stress
there would be no stress, because our

4029
05:44:04.360 --> 05:44:08.439
memories ordered that we should be frightened
or angry. We feel frustrated and unchecked.

4030
05:44:08.840 --> 05:44:14.319
Just one situation reminds us too much
of an earlier moment when we were

4031
05:44:14.400 --> 05:44:18.599
frustrated and unchecked. The curse of
memory is that we age from within our

4032
05:44:18.959 --> 05:44:25.200
inner world ages and isolates us from
the reality that never ages. The perfection

4033
05:44:25.279 --> 05:44:30.279
of human memory is amazing. In
the early days of psychoanalysis, Freud was

4034
05:44:30.319 --> 05:44:36.159
amazed at the accuracy of his patients' unconscious retention. The past could lead

4035
05:44:36.159 --> 05:44:38.599
a depressed patient to trauma at two
years of age, when his mother had

4036
05:44:38.759 --> 05:44:42.319
left him one night in the hospital
where his tonsils were to be operated on.

4037
05:44:45.159 --> 05:44:49.159
At first, Freud discovered that memory
was not entirely unearthed. Blankets of

4038
05:44:49.159 --> 05:44:53.759
numbness and denial covered the original feeling
of having been abandoned. However, if

4039
05:44:55.159 --> 05:45:00.720
the patient had enough courage, those
robes could gradually be removed with complete clarity.

4040
05:45:02.560 --> 05:45:06.159
The patient then remembered exactly what had
happened in the hospital that night,

4041
05:45:06.439 --> 05:45:10.599
not only his feeling in all its
nuances, but the most insignificant physical details,

4042
05:45:10.919 --> 05:45:14.840
the time the clock marked, the
number of steps they took to the

4043
05:45:14.919 --> 05:45:18.200
operating room, the color of the
nurse' s hair. But why not

4044
05:45:18.240 --> 05:45:25.119
remember those details They have been printed
on us as microchips, adding their broadcast

4045
05:45:25.200 --> 05:45:29.959
to all future facts. In human
life there are few simple tensions, if

4046
05:45:30.040 --> 05:45:33.040
any still exist, because as soon
as a new fact is presented, the

4047
05:45:33.119 --> 05:45:37.759
seal of old memories is activated,
activating the kind of tension we expect.

4048
05:45:37.799 --> 05:45:42.880
Therefore, stress becomes a self-
fulfilling prophecy. Our reactions are in line

4049
05:45:42.959 --> 05:45:48.479
with our expectations. It is the
fact that no event can avoid the seal

4050
05:45:48.560 --> 05:45:52.840
of interpretation. Which gives memory to
its treacherous power, the connection of hormones.

4051
05:45:56.159 --> 05:46:00.279
The reaction to stress includes the production
of powerful chemical elements that the body,

4052
05:46:00.560 --> 05:46:04.759
as I have described, must isolate
before suffering damage. Endocrinologists classify stress

4053
05:46:04.799 --> 05:46:10.720
hormones as glucocorticoids, segregated by the
adrenal glands, as part of the greater

4054
05:46:10.799 --> 05:46:15.840
activity required of the body under stress. The function of glucocorticoids is to activate

4055
05:46:15.919 --> 05:46:22.159
the change from anabolic metabolism to catabolic
metabolism. Specifically, glucocorticoids break down the

4056
05:46:22.240 --> 05:46:26.439
liver' s glucagon, a form
of stored energy that the body can use

4057
05:46:26.479 --> 05:46:30.599
in case of need. When the
Lucagon runs out, the glucocorticoids themselves break

4058
05:46:30.639 --> 05:46:37.680
down proteins in extreme conditions, such
as periods of famine. The body should

4059
05:46:37.720 --> 05:46:41.919
fight starvation by starting to consume its
own muscles in order to maintain the level

4060
05:46:41.000 --> 05:46:45.959
of sugar in the blood. Once
again, the chemicals responsible are glucocorticoids.

4061
05:46:48.119 --> 05:46:52.560
The best known of glucocorticoids is cortisol, which plays a hidden role in the

4062
05:46:52.639 --> 05:46:59.880
aging of certain animals, specifically the
Pacific Salmon. After the incubation, the

4063
05:47:00.439 --> 05:47:03.119
young Salmon spends the first four years
of life at sea until he is mysteriously

4064
05:47:03.159 --> 05:47:07.560
guided for thousands of miles to the
same freshwater lake in which he was born.

4065
05:47:08.880 --> 05:47:14.319
After a heroic journey against the current, passing through rapids and prey built

4066
05:47:14.400 --> 05:47:19.200
by man, the mature Salmon procreates
and dies almost immediately, making the fish

4067
05:47:19.319 --> 05:47:25.759
aged overnight, becoming a weak and
worn- out beast. It is not

4068
05:47:25.840 --> 05:47:30.720
just exhaustion, but an inner aging
clock, included in your DNA that waits

4069
05:47:30.840 --> 05:47:34.119
until spawning is done to emit large
amounts of corticosteroid hormone from the adrenal glands.

4070
05:47:37.560 --> 05:47:41.840
Cortisol is a potent stress hormone in
all animals. In salmon, it

4071
05:47:41.959 --> 05:47:45.119
' s a death hormone. Its
fatal emission occurs even if the fish is

4072
05:47:45.240 --> 05:47:49.360
removed from the water before its strenuous
emigration and allowed to procreate in optimal physical

4073
05:47:49.479 --> 05:47:56.439
condition. Aging clocks respect their own
plan without taking into account the medium.

4074
05:47:56.799 --> 05:48:00.959
If you take salmon upstream, providing
it with the right food and protecting it

4075
05:48:02.040 --> 05:48:06.799
from all stresses, you can'
t save it. After spawning the biological

4076
05:48:06.880 --> 05:48:11.720
clock of the fish knows that the
right time has come to die. Suitable

4077
05:48:11.119 --> 05:48:17.560
in nature is a very flexible term. The cocksucker, who barely lives a

4078
05:48:17.639 --> 05:48:21.799
day and the giant clam that survives
more than a hundred years. They each

4079
05:48:22.040 --> 05:48:26.360
have an appropriate time of life.
Nature balances many ingredients to determine how long

4080
05:48:26.439 --> 05:48:33.959
an animal will live. The size, weight, metabolic rhythm, food supply,

4081
05:48:34.400 --> 05:48:37.919
prey animals, reproductive age and number
of offspring, among other factors,

4082
05:48:38.119 --> 05:48:47.880
influence the time when aging will begin. A mouse in a wild environment can

4083
05:48:47.959 --> 05:48:51.240
live a year or less, but
in the course of that year the mature

4084
05:48:51.599 --> 05:48:56.360
animal mates, has a certain number
of young and keeps its species in motion

4085
05:48:56.439 --> 05:48:59.840
in the balance of nature. That' s enough. Its species can keep

4086
05:49:00.119 --> 05:49:06.680
its population going before aging and dying
its purpose is fulfilled in animals. The

4087
05:49:06.759 --> 05:49:11.720
beginning of old age is linked to
its physical evolution. Each animal has evolved

4088
05:49:11.799 --> 05:49:15.599
to a time of life that is
the most suitable for survival. If mice

4089
05:49:15.680 --> 05:49:21.319
lived a hundred years and continued to
have offspring for dozens of years, the

4090
05:49:21.360 --> 05:49:26.599
world would be invaded by mice and
prey animals that feed on them. However,

4091
05:49:26.959 --> 05:49:30.720
nature does not allow such grotesque imbalances
to persist. All species adapt to

4092
05:49:30.720 --> 05:49:37.759
their own lifetime and follow their specific
patterns for aging. Sometimes the specific intention

4093
05:49:37.840 --> 05:49:41.000
of nature is difficult to decipher,
because, for example, the tiny,

4094
05:49:41.400 --> 05:49:45.119
bats, brown live twelve or more
years, while the field mouse, which

4095
05:49:45.200 --> 05:49:49.040
weighs the same and has an equally
fast metabolism, struggles to survive just one

4096
05:49:49.400 --> 05:49:56.720
or two seasons. Factors that influence
the life time of different animals are so

4097
05:49:56.799 --> 05:50:03.479
complex subtle that it is difficult to
explain how animals age. Today there are

4098
05:50:03.560 --> 05:50:11.720
more than 300 theories that rival to
give the answer. The imagination is disturbed

4099
05:50:11.799 --> 05:50:15.520
by the clocks of aging, because
they are time bombs that animals have not

4100
05:50:15.599 --> 05:50:21.200
known within themselves as instruments of their
own destruction. Many biologists speculate that the

4101
05:50:21.279 --> 05:50:25.840
human adn contains an aging clock.
If true, it must be much more

4102
05:50:25.919 --> 05:50:30.400
variable than salmon, as humans die
at very variable ages. In the Roman

4103
05:50:30.520 --> 05:50:36.040
Empire, average life expectancy was around
twenty- eight years. Today it has

4104
05:50:36.119 --> 05:50:40.080
risen to seventy- five years in
the United States and eighty- two five

4105
05:50:40.159 --> 05:50:45.080
among women in Japan, the longest- lived group in the world. This

4106
05:50:45.119 --> 05:50:48.479
increase has been achieved thanks to the
characteristic that differentiates us from the lower animals,

4107
05:50:48.919 --> 05:50:53.400
free will. The moment of our
death is not determined at birth.

4108
05:50:53.680 --> 05:50:59.319
We humans challenge destiny, building shelters
against the elements, cultivating ready or s

4109
05:50:59.439 --> 05:51:04.360
or rs of hunger and inventing cures
for disease. However, the biochemical heritage

4110
05:51:04.479 --> 05:51:11.159
we carry in us presents a constant
threat. Like the salmon of the Pacific,

4111
05:51:11.680 --> 05:51:15.200
our body has the ability to emit
large doses of hormone without the command

4112
05:51:15.279 --> 05:51:18.840
of our will. For example,
every time we are in a threatening situation

4113
05:51:18.959 --> 05:51:23.599
we produce a small dose of non- lethal cortisol. For many physiologists,

4114
05:51:25.080 --> 05:51:29.919
this means that our body is not
well adapted to modern life. Also out

4115
05:51:29.959 --> 05:51:33.639
of our control. Conscious is the
effect of glucocorticoids on a series of destructive

4116
05:51:33.720 --> 05:51:37.400
processes. Muscle wear, airway or
betes, fatigue, osteoporosis, thinning of

4117
05:51:37.560 --> 05:51:41.959
the skin, redistribution of body fat, fragility of blood vessels, hypertension,

4118
05:51:42.319 --> 05:51:52.959
fluid retention, suppression of the immune
system and alteration of mental functions. All

4119
05:51:53.040 --> 05:51:57.240
of these are signs of steroid poisoning, so it is a danger if patients

4120
05:51:57.319 --> 05:52:03.439
are treated for too long with large
doses of steroids. In situations where a

4121
05:52:03.520 --> 05:52:07.680
person can' t give up the
stress response or fails to express it,

4122
05:52:07.080 --> 05:52:12.720
his or her own body administers a
small dose of poisonous steroids. Thus,

4123
05:52:14.080 --> 05:52:18.720
the danger of repeated inappropriate stress is
much greater than any catastrophic stress. Alone.

4124
05:52:19.599 --> 05:52:26.680
Meditation decreases the biological age. The
link between aging and stress hormones has

4125
05:52:26.759 --> 05:52:30.119
been clearly demonstrated, but the problem
of how to control these hormones remains.

4126
05:52:32.680 --> 05:52:36.479
As the reaction to active stress in
a fraction of a second and without prior

4127
05:52:36.479 --> 05:52:40.200
notice, it is impossible for us
to dominate the molecules themselves. However,

4128
05:52:40.560 --> 05:52:44.159
there is a body mind technique that
goes directly to the root of the stress

4129
05:52:44.279 --> 05:52:48.759
response, freeing us from the reminded
tensions that give rise to new tensions in

4130
05:52:48.759 --> 05:52:53.159
meditation. It is often discovered that
cortisol and adrenaline levels are lower in those

4131
05:52:53.240 --> 05:52:57.520
who meditate for a long time,
and their resistance mechanisms always tend to be

4132
05:52:57.560 --> 05:53:03.000
more powerful than the average. Before
the 1970s began, we did not even

4133
05:53:03.000 --> 05:53:10.840
suspect these benefits. Meditation offered little
appeal to Western medicine until a young physiologist

4134
05:53:11.000 --> 05:53:15.759
at the University of California named r
Q WAWS showed that, beyond its spiritual

4135
05:53:15.759 --> 05:53:22.360
implications, meditation had profound effects on
the body. In a series of experiments

4136
05:53:22.439 --> 05:53:27.279
initiated in the late 1960s. As
part of his doctoral thesis, Walls took

4137
05:53:27.319 --> 05:53:33.000
groups of volunteers who practiced transcendental meditation
EMET, almost all of them of college

4138
05:53:33.080 --> 05:53:37.599
age, and connected them to monitors
to measure critical body functions during meditation.

4139
05:53:38.279 --> 05:53:45.000
Subjectively, these young volunteers reported experiencing
greater calm and inner silence. Although it

4140
05:53:45.040 --> 05:53:49.279
had been thought that it took years
of practice to achieve a deep meditative state

4141
05:53:49.400 --> 05:53:56.720
until then, MT' s technique
soon produced deep relaxation and significant changes in

4142
05:53:56.799 --> 05:54:03.919
breathing, heart rhythm, and blood
pressure. The MT is based on the

4143
05:54:04.000 --> 05:54:10.479
silent repetition of a Sanskrit word determined
omandre, whose sound vibrations gradually lead the

4144
05:54:10.560 --> 05:54:15.759
mind out of the normal thought process
into the underlying silence. As such,

4145
05:54:15.119 --> 05:54:21.000
a mantre is a very specific message
inserted into the nervous system, as mantres

4146
05:54:21.119 --> 05:54:25.759
have been used in India for thousands
of years. Its exact physiological effect is

4147
05:54:25.840 --> 05:54:29.919
well known as part of the science
of yoga or union. The goal of

4148
05:54:30.000 --> 05:54:33.240
yoga is to unite the thinking mind
with its source in pure consciousness. In

4149
05:54:33.319 --> 05:54:38.159
modern terms, pure consciousness means quantum
space. The silent void, which is

4150
05:54:38.240 --> 05:54:44.040
the belly of all matter and all
energy. Pure consciousness exists in the void

4151
05:54:44.119 --> 05:54:48.360
between two thoughts. It is the
invariable background against which all mental activity occurs.

4152
05:54:49.159 --> 05:54:52.400
Usually, we cannot suspect the existence
of that state, because the mind

4153
05:54:52.479 --> 05:54:59.720
is too concerned with it torrent of
thoughts, desires, dreams, fantasies and

4154
05:55:00.240 --> 05:55:07.880
sensations that fill the waking consciousness.
Thus, the ancient Indian sages had to

4155
05:55:07.880 --> 05:55:11.319
devise the specific technique of meditation in
order to show the mind its own origins

4156
05:55:11.439 --> 05:55:18.840
in quantum depths. When Waus started
this research, the mechanics of meditation was

4157
05:55:18.959 --> 05:55:23.200
not well understood in scientific terms.
He was the first to show that sitting

4158
05:55:23.240 --> 05:55:27.759
in meditation with closed eyes induces the
nervous system to enter a state of alertness

4159
05:55:27.880 --> 05:55:32.919
at rest, that is, the
mind remains awake as the body enters into

4160
05:55:33.040 --> 05:55:38.720
deep relaxation. In the lingo of
physiology, WAUS called this waking state hypometabolic

4161
05:55:38.880 --> 05:55:44.560
to indicate that the subject' s
metabolism decreased, although the waking consciousness was

4162
05:55:44.680 --> 05:55:51.000
maintained to its discovery. The state
of alertness at rest generated considerable curiosity in

4163
05:55:51.040 --> 05:55:55.240
the medical profession, which until then
had considered rest and alertness as opposites.

4164
05:55:56.799 --> 05:56:00.520
Sleep is a hypometabolic state in which
oxygen consumption decreases, the heart beats more

4165
05:56:00.720 --> 05:56:06.599
slowly and consciousness is erased. The
waking state, on the other hand,

4166
05:56:06.959 --> 05:56:11.880
is characterized by increased oxygen consumption,
a faster heart rate and an alert mind.

4167
05:56:15.560 --> 05:56:18.880
The description of MT in this text
cannot really teach the reader how to

4168
05:56:18.959 --> 05:56:23.919
meditate. The technique of MT can
be described verbally or in writing, but

4169
05:56:25.159 --> 05:56:30.279
to learn it properly it is necessary
to receive personal instructions from a well-

4170
05:56:30.639 --> 05:56:34.000
prepared meditation teacher. Thousands of people
start the technique just to leave it prematurely.

4171
05:56:36.200 --> 05:56:38.119
This is because there is no greater
challenge than the intimate relationship with oneself

4172
05:56:38.279 --> 05:56:45.599
opened by meditation. Devoting to this
practice without giving it more importance almost always

4173
05:56:45.680 --> 05:56:49.240
leads to failure, as the benefits
are too deep to be discarded so lightly.

4174
05:56:49.560 --> 05:56:53.159
I have decided, though reluctantly,
not to tell my readers how to

4175
05:56:53.279 --> 05:56:57.560
meditate. As a result, perhaps
fewer will be initiated, but the purity

4176
05:56:57.639 --> 05:57:02.560
and value of teaching will be preserved, making it better for those who begin.

4177
05:57:03.080 --> 05:57:07.959
It was correctly discovered that in meditation
these opposites joined together, although the

4178
05:57:08.040 --> 05:57:11.880
meditating subjects remained alert enough to press
a button every time they transcended, that

4179
05:57:12.000 --> 05:57:17.319
is, when they experienced pure consciousness, they fell into a state of rest

4180
05:57:17.439 --> 05:57:22.479
twice as deep as the deepest sleep. Even more they did so very quickly,

4181
05:57:22.759 --> 05:57:27.479
usually before ten minutes after closing their
eyes, in contrast to the four,

4182
05:57:27.680 --> 05:57:32.400
five, or six hours that it
took us to achieve the deepest relaxation

4183
05:57:32.479 --> 05:57:37.319
when we slept. Beginning in nineteen
hundred and seventy- eight, Waldes investigated

4184
05:57:37.439 --> 05:57:44.040
the effects of meditation on human aging. He used three markers of biological age

4185
05:57:44.159 --> 05:57:48.200
as a summary of the aging process
as a whole. Blood pressure, short

4186
05:57:48.680 --> 05:57:52.479
- range vision, and the hearing
threshold, all of which typically decline over

4187
05:57:52.599 --> 05:57:57.119
the years, were able to show
that all of these markers improved with MT

4188
05:57:57.240 --> 05:58:03.159
practice in the long term. Indian
that actually biological age was reversed. The

4189
05:58:03.240 --> 05:58:08.000
meditators who regularly practiced the technique for
less than five years had a biological age

4190
05:58:08.080 --> 05:58:14.400
on average five years below their chronological
age. Those who had meditated for more

4191
05:58:14.439 --> 05:58:18.560
than five years were twelve years younger
than their continuous chronological age in the next
