We all feel strong emotions and feelings from time to time. The natural tendency is to fight against those feelings because they feel uncomfortable. However, fighting against emotions and feelings is a battle you are bound to lose. When we NAME our feelings, we are able to create space in between our emotions by dropping our anchor in the storm and work towards a value-based life regardless of how we feel. In this episode, Enoch and Austin will walk you through the simple steps of NAME(ing) your feelings:D Thanks for listening! If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a rating and review!

Log in as we dissect CYBORG! What upgrades can Doc offer him that he can't download himself? Listen now to find out! Intro Reminder to send questions for AMA 150 Background (1:34) Cyborg (Victor Stone) created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez in DC Comics Presents #26 (Oct 1980) Victor Stone is the son of two scientists, who use him as a test subject for intelligence experiments - he resents this, and falls in with a dangerous crowd as a way to rebel One of the experiments brings a hostile creature from another dimension into his parents laboratory - the creature kills his mother and gravely injures Victor before his father can return it to its home dimension and close the portal His father then uses bleeding edge experimental technology to save him, at the cost of the majority of his body now being robotic - when Victor awakens, he lashes out at his father, revealing he'd rather be dead than experimented on again without his consent He joins the Teen Titans as a way to find others with common experiences He then merged with an alien artificial intelligence named Technis, which helped him restore his mind, although it turned his body into an entirely cybernetic being named Cyberion, and he had to stay on the Technis planet in order to survive - this experience left him distant from humanity, and when he returned, he assimilated all the technology he could find until he was the size of the moon - he was attacked by the Justice League and the other Titans - Beast Boy was able to reach Victor's humanity and got him to upload his consciousness to another suit, rendering Technis inoperable Gets dismantled during Infinite Crisis, and it takes almost a year to put him back together New 52 - the explosion in his father's office is now related to a Mother Box, and Silas uses the technology to save Victor's life - he now can access the New Gods library and discovers Darkseid is invading Earth in search of the Anti-Life Equation - joins the fight with the Justice League to battle the invaders, and becomes a founding member of the team After the Crime Syndicate (an evil mirror version of the Justice League) invades, Cyborg is taken over by Grid (Earth-3's Cyborg), which expelled all his organic material - Hal Jordan used the Lantern ring to suspend him until Silas could operate on him and revive him again Issues - Theme is tinkering Adjustments to prosthetics Considers acceptance of his form to be equivalent to stagnation (18:59) Relationship with Silas has improved, but still has deep-seated trust issues (28:55) Break (38:41) Plugs for BetterHelp, Not If I Reboot You First, and Phillip Kennedy Johnson Treatment (40:43) In-universe - Learn coding to speak his language - has he ever “gone gold”? Out of universe - Multi-amputee with family issues (44:40) Skit (feat. Karrington from Real Dudes Podcast) (51:17) DOC: Hello Victor, I'm Dr. Issues. VICTOR: Hey Doc. Let's do this. I'm all in. D: *pause* Ooooookaaaay? *excited* OK! V: Here's a list of the last 3 angry outbursts I've had within the past month. I've also included my vitals, my calorie count, and I have a full database of the last 30 years of psychotherapeutic and psychotropic recommendations by the American Psychiatric Association for diagnoses in the DSM and the ICD 10, 11, and 12. D: There is no ICD 12 yet. V: I have my ways. D: But you don't even know what you're diagn V: *interrupting* I have taken the MMPI Inventory and the standard deviation of error after multiple runs is within an acceptable range for any PhD, PsyD, MD, or DO with an acceptable clinical certification. I also cross-referenced any abnormal responses with screening exams for Depression, ADHD, psychosis, addiction, and monitored all of my hormonal levels to make sure there were no underlying physiological causes. D: You don't need to screen yourself for addictions unless someone else V: *interrupting, but actually excited* The Titans say I am addicted to tech. But they don't live with it like I do. I'm showing them that I am in full control of myself, and thanks to this research I've found a way to use Monte Carlo simulations for how likely I am to have any emotional response at any moment. I never thought about the human brain like this before. I can modify my eye to be a functional MRI device…if I could just find the proper shielding against my own body. D: That is dangerous and NOT fully diagnostic yet. I love the enthusiasm but…how do I put this? BACK OFF, CAN'T YA?! V: Hmmm? *confused* I thought my gruntwork would make this easy for you. I am willing to undergo pharmacogenetic testing for the best medication. Isn't this what you do? D: *flustered* NO! Yes, well…it's complicated. V: I know, right? If it took me a few all-nighters to get the reams of data necessary for an introductory session, I can't imagine what you have to do for multiple patients every day of the week! D: You want to know what I do? Honestly? V: Yeah! I'll admit, I thought this was all psychobabble nonsense, but there is some real rigor behind neuroscience. D: I talk to people, and they talk back to me. I make suggestions based on that information, along with the biological and social components, and repeat that process with the patient's input. V: *sound of fuse blowing* That DOES sound like psychobabble nonsense. I mean, I can get you a copy of my last schematic D: PLEASE tone it down. I'm begging at this point. Look, I'm impressed by your efforts, but it's clear to me that you have no other format for viewing yourself. You're incredibly smart. You're laser focused - no pun intended. You realize that others think SOMETHING is up, and you double down on what you know. You're isolating yourself and you don't even know it. V: The hell I am! I've been a key component in some of the most important events in human history...UNIVERSE history. You don't know me. D: There's that anger that you mentioned. V: So my cortisol level- D: Nope…don't care. V: Say whaaaaaaaaat?! D: Dude…just talk to me. How are you? How are those you care about? What's your favorite food? V: This isn't a date. D: Not like that, but it IS a human interaction of getting to know one another. Please, just stick to the basics. V: Nah man, if you don't recognize I'm Linux all the wa- D: SAY SOMETHING NOT RELATED TO RESEARCH OR TECH. NOW. V: *sound of short circuiting* Sorry, doc, gotta reboot a few things D: Ohhhhhhh No, you're not avoiding this. I realize this is all a smokescreen now. Ever heard the phrase, ‘if you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, then baffle them with your bullshit? Well, sir, you have managed to create the ultimate bullshit brilliance hybrid I can fathom. Drop it. V: Well, damn. You cut real deep with that, man. I'm not sure this will work out. D: Why not? Are you willing to do something that doesn't have a treasure trove of data to mine? Actually, I think it's the opposite; you get the chance to look at your own personal black box that's been hardcoded into your psyche. The more you're willing to let go, the greater the likelihood of a new finding. V: *pause* You really want to do this without downloading the latest… D: *interrupting* Don't care unless you talk about your father. V: Weeeeeeell…I'm sure you can google his name…ha ah haha *nervous laugh* *cough* Maaaaaaan, just let it go, will you? That's the problem with practitioners of soft sciences. They fall back on outdated formatting. Are you Freud 2.0 or something? D: Only if you're Cyborg plus. V: I don't understand. I was expecting you to say “Cyborg 2022” or something. D: No, I mean, there's nothing wrong with being…comfortable. I apologize for my frustration. You dig technology. Sweet. It's vital for you. But what else makes you who you are? You don't have to answer that for me just V: *interrupting* Just myself. Yeah. My dad was the same way. Just colder. At least I'm around people that can make me feel good once in a while. That's a nice situation, ya know? Not trying to rain on their parades. I can't sit around watching TV or doing endless workouts or some such. I like making a difference. But I can always be better. I'm not sure anyone understands that. D: That was the best thing you've said this entire time. It seemed really tough. It gets easier over time. V: You're opening my mind, Doc. D: Thanks, I V: Yeah, I should have been downloading Beck and Ellis instead of just philosophical stoics when I was younger. I can do a PubMed search with the proper tags as soon as I leave D: *dramatic cough* AHEM V: Orrrrrrr I could just…journal for 5 minutes tonight? D: You're catching on. I'll see you next session. I trust that you've already logged it on your calendar. V: *confident/satisfied* Booyah.

Intro Background (1:43) Homelander created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson in The Boys #3 (Nov. 2006) Introduced as the leader and most powerful member of the Seven, a group of corporate-sponsored superheroes Initially comes off as affable, only to reveal he's actually a misogynistic jerk - and it gets worse from there Public backstory is that he was an alien who landed on Earth, but in reality his mother was a mentally disabled woman who died in childbirth, and he was the byproduct of genetic experiments from Stormfront, a Nazi superhero - he spent his childhood strapped to a hydrogen bomb in case he tried to escape Homelander hates being a hero, but only does so because Vought pays him handsomely Later revealed that Billy Butcher, head of a group of humans who hate the Seven, has special dislike for Homelander because Homelander raped his wife, who died giving birth to a superpowered baby, which Billy then killed immediately #BecauseComics Homelander is revealed to have no memory of this or many other horrific acts which he is blamed for - this causes him to have a psychotic break and begin doing whatever he wants He has no memory because the horrible acts were actually committed by Black Noir, a clone of Homelander that Vought created to keep Homelander in check - since Black Noir's sole purpose was to kill Homelander, he gaslit Homelander to drive him insane in order to justify killing him - Homelander and Black Noir fight, and Black Noir kills Homelander, but is injured enough that Billy could finish him off with a crowbar Issues (8:46) Matt: Wow. The layers upon layers to this guy. He really is just the embodiment of the nature versus nurture argument writ large, isn't he? Injected with an artificial compound to give him superpowers in the womb, mother died giving birth to him, spent his entire childhood chained to a hydrogen bomb so he wouldn't escape from Vought. Raised with no other purpose in life but to become a living corporate-sanctioned product whose image and likeness would be sold for profit while he awed and wowed a company's customers. Given every single ounce of hedonistic excess he could ever want by his company to keep him happy and cooperative and, basically, to stop him from using his powers to destroy the world and/or enslave the human race. This naturally instilled in him some deep-seated psychological issues: 1. Entitlement. I mean...holy crap. The man's mantra is, "I can do whatever the fuck I want." Coercing women into sex? Not a problem. Gleefully using his powers against civilians? Assholes shouldn't have been standing there. It's positively bone-chilling the way he doesn't even give his actions a second thought, or much of a first one. 2. Complete lack of empathy. The man does not even consider non-Supes to be people. Absolutely does not care about the damage any of his actions cause. Also can't even be bothered to try to help people in need unless it's his bosses telling him to. On 9/11, doesn't even want to try and save the plane until someone points out they'll probably get fired if they don't. (13:54) 3. Unapologetically racist and sexist. Has a hierarchy, even among his fellow supes. Women are beneath men. Nonwhites are beneath whites. Basically anyone who's not him or just like him is beneath him. Referencing The Deep, as Bill Burr would say, he drops the hard "r", hits the dismount, and sticks the landing. Multiple times. Views Maeve and Starlight as sex objects first, superheroes second. But, and this is a but, it's implied that he at least tried to adhere to the idealism of a hero early on in his career, even if he was a bit of a prick about it. And it was nonstop long-term gaslighting campaign of Black Noir -- tricking him into believing he suffered from blackouts where he committed horrific acts of rape and mass murder and had no memory of it -- that caused him to go full-blown monster. That he thought to himself, in for a penny, in for a pound. After he's descended into what we see in the comics, we learn that the major issue that he's struggled with his whole life is that, as Stillwell points out in their big confrontation, with all his power, he is really nothing special at his core. There is literally not one person chosen at random who couldn't do everything he'd done in his life if they were given his powers. Oh boy, does that eat at him. He's nobody, just a guy who won the superpower lottery and decided to treat it like most people do when they win the actual lottery. Man, that's a lot of meat to chew on right there. Real-life analogue? Ummm...Dance Moms, anyone? Child actors? Child beauty pageant contestants? Kids who are steered into an activity before they have any inkling of whether or not they actually want to do it and pushed on relentlessly by obsessive parents who want their kids to be the best to satisfy their own egos, robbing them of a childhood and making them sincerely believe that they are better than anyone else? You don't have to go too far to imagine all the real-life Homelanders out there. Gaslighting by Black Noir (28:00) Break (34:41) Plugs for BetterHelp, Cheers to Comics, and Erica Schultz Treatment (36:33) In-universe - Make it a talk show, and hope to get him to some level of self-awareness Out of universe - (38:39) Does someone like this get a therapist who looks like them, or one who pushes their boundaries of comfort? Skit (NSFW warning) (46:28) DOC: Hello Homelander, I'm Dr. Issues. HOMELANDER: Good afternoon, Doc. I appreciate all mental health professionals. I may wear a cape, but you're a true hero. D: Thanks for that. H: So how long you been with the company? D: Company? H: Vought. I figure it has something to do with the casualties from our last appearance. Real shame those people were in the car. Unfortunately, those terrorists were too far away for me to get to in time, and I had to throw SOMEthing at them. D: I don't work… wait, what? H: You know how it is. Bad guys with guns. So I had to make a choice. There was a car nearby, so I threw it at the terrorists. Wasn't until I heard the screams that I realized it wasn't empty. And super though I may be, I'm only so fast. I mean, I'm no A-Train, that's for sure. D: Oh no...I've met many first responders who have had to make snap judgements like that, but not with such...force. H: Yeah, they're usually crybabies about it. I got over that s**t a long time ago. D: So you really don't care that there may have been any other way to handle life and death situations? H: Do you have any real suggestions? I can see someone like you acting all Monday morning quarterback, but who really gets their hands dirty? D: I'm not disrespecting you by asking to expand your thought process. You said you respect mental health professionals, right? H: Real professionals, yeah. D: What's that supposed to mean? H: Someone who got where they are through hard work and dedication, not just to fill some quota. You know, like we do with the Deep. D: Glad I have the GPA and scholarships to prove it then. Unless you think the people important enough to run this operation would place any random quack in here to talk to you. H: Anyway, I'm sure the paperwork monkeys have all that taken care of. I'll do some talk show appearances, a photo op with the family members of the… Johnsons? Johnstons? Johnbergs? Ah, who the f**k cares. D: Homelander, I'm sorry, I think there's been a misunderstanding. I don't work for Vought. H: Oh. Then why the f**k am I talking to you then? D: You are right, it's because those people died, though. H: Well like I said, their fault they were nearby. D: Oh my God, how does anyone believe you're a hero? H: Because I save poor bastards like you all the time. D: OK, I'm done pretending. Homelander, you are under arrest by the United State military in conjunction with the deaths of four civilians, along with mass property damage. I am here to assess your competence prior to trial. H: What. The. F**k. D: And to ensure your cooperation, you have been placed inside an energy field, which I might as well reveal to you now. *energy hum* H: Are you f**king kidding me? D: So now that we've gotten that out of the way H: You listen to me, you pencil pushing c*******er. You have no goddamn right to keep me here, and I assure you as soon as I get out the FIRST f**king thing I'm doing is ramming my fist so far down your throat you'll be able to chew out your own ass for being so f**king r******d. D: So since you're being detained, I don't need to tell you that this is meant as therapy to improve anything. You've already given me the information I need to make a decision as to whether or not you're dangerous. H: You're goddamn right I'm dangerous. I'm the most powerful f**king thing on the planet. There's no God, there's just me. And all you worthless peons can suck my asshole. D: At this point, due to your severe agitation, I'm required to ask if you have any history of medication that has helped you to stay calm and perhaps relax for a while. H: I relax by jerking off. And when I'm done killing you, I'll jerk off on your f**king corpse. D: Duly noted. Then it's my selection with regards to… hmm… how do we deliver medication to an invulnerable being? H: You aren't going to deliver S**T, do you understand? For someone who's supposedly smart enough to graduate whatever degree mill you came from, you're f**king oblivious to how utterly F**KED you are when I break this field. There isn't a thing that can hold me forever. And the fact that you haven't run away screaming means you're even dumber than you look, you stupid ni- D: Alright, that's enough of that. I was entertaining you up to this point, because your blustering isn't all that uncommon in my area of practice. But the racism is a special kind of heinous. So with that, we're done here. H: No, we're not done. You can walk away, but I promise, I will find you, and I *punch* will *punch* end *punch* you. D: Good luck with that. H: F**K YOU! AHHHHH! *punch* *shatter* D: Oh s*** H: *punch* *gory sound effects* I told you I'd kill you. And now to relax. *zip* *masturbates furiously* What the F**K did I tell you? I do whatever the F**K I want, when I want, because I'm f**king GOD. You little *ungh* s**t.

NATASHA: Good afternoon, Doctor. D: I'm afraid we're going to have to go through a bit of an introductory period. Normally I get a file on my patients before I meet with them, but yours was almost entirely redacted. N: That's just how it is in my line of work. D: That's fair, but I've worked with your colleagues before, and I've never seen anything quite like this. It's like the whole thing was covered in black Sharpie. N: Some of my employers would kill both of us if they even knew I was speaking with you. Frankly this conversation is more dangerous than most. D: In that case I appreciate you speaking with me. And be sure to know I take all the necessary precautions for my own safety, as well as the confidentiality of my clients. N: No offense, doc, but that won't stop some of the more… unsavory characters I've dealt with. They've come at me in Avengers Mansion, I don't think this office will hold them. D: Sad to say, but I've dealt with worse. So we'll deal with that threat if and when it comes. Let's get back to you. What can we accomplish today? N: Probably less than what I would want out of this. D: How so? N: This is going to be the type of scenario where I don't say names, I only give hints. If you are sharp enough to follow my lead, then maybe I can learn something from you. D: Way more nebulous than I imagined. Usually when people do that, I think they're demonstrating paranoia. N: Is it really paranoia when you know people are truly after you? D: But the fight, flight, or freeze phenomenon doesn't turn itself on and off like a switch if you've exhausted yourself in that vigilant state for too long. Plus, it makes it difficult for anyone to get to know you. N: Thank you for stating the obvious. No, really, thank you. People don't understand that it's inherent in what I do. I didn't sign up for this life. I was bred for it. D: Maybe that's true, but N: *interrupting, clearly upset* No maybes about it! I can't say that much about such things but...think about how organized different agencies can be, especially under authoritarian rule. D: Got it. Sorry to cast any doubt to your experience. I'm thankful that you're keeping the conversation on track. Is it fair to ask, then, how being so harshly molded at a young age influences you now? Any nightmares or flashbacks to those events? N: I've learned to regulate my physiology just fine. D: How about the emotional content, then? N: I have all of the...expected emotions. D: Interesting choice of words. I'm not familiar with what would be considered “expected” because that's such a wide range. Anger? Sadness? Fear? N: *pause* All of it. D: Then you have lots of possibilities to work with N: More than that though. Relief, Joy, Pain...I know you're really a doctor because you just went for what's considered negative. But I'm a lot stronger than you realize. I don't want a pity case here. In a way, you're only alive right now because I made that decision when I stepped into this office. D: *obtuse, missing the mark* Is that a veiled threat at me in some way to show superiority? I don't have a god complex. N: No, I meant it much simpler than that. D: Hmmmm...You're so resolute about this, once again I have to take you at face value. And yet, that brings us back to the original point. How can I help you if the only thing on your mind is helping others besides yourself? N: I don't get such luxury. You seem to have this mindset that I'm intentionally draining my life away, toiling at the behest of others and neglecting my needs. That's nonsense. I'm alive because I see all of the angles. Too many times it's “kill or be killed.” But what about when you save someone? Save hundreds? How many times can I give an eye for an eye before we're all blind? D: That's noble beyond compare. I hear the pain that comes through too. Same with exhaustion. I'm not asking you to change everything. I'm asking if you want some part...ANY part, better. N: *sarcastic* So you want me to be a better killing machine? D: ...anything, but that. N: So you see my problem. Even when I'm supposedly doing good in the world, it's typically because someone doing worse has been brought down. D: Least Common Denominator. So how do we change the math? You know I won't help you with the one part of that equation you mentioned, so… N: You're not making the ultimate sinner into a saint...and I'm not even religious. D: For one thing, I'd hardly consider you the ultimate sinner. For another, we're not even going to get into that side of things. N: That makes one of us. D: You...you really would go that far, huh? N: When you've seen what I've seen and done what I've done, there's not even a question about it. D: Then no shame, no blame. There's only the way up. The next assignment. Clue me in your emotions, and I'll try to establish the right path to maximizing your efficacy in relating to people in a mutually beneficial way. N: Now you're trying to make it sound like I'm a wallflower who's never dated. Come on! D: That's not what I'm getting at, I mean *bullets hit glass* N: Bozhe moi. Get down! D: Yes ma'am. N: *fires back* Who knew I was coming? D: No one outside of my assistant. N: That's one person too many. *pause* Did you see where the shot came from? D: No, I'm kinda too busy doing my job. I thought you saw all the angles. N: This is why I didn't wanna come here in the first place. OK, you stick your head up and see if you spot any movement. D: HELL NO. I'm not getting sniped so you can save the day again. N: *grunts* Fine. Do you have something you can use as a distraction? D: I have a paperweight on my desk. N: Gotta work with what we've got. On the count of three, toss it to me. One… two… three! D: *grunts* *bullets fire* N: Do svidaniya, asshole. D: I.. I can't believe this. N: Really? You do what you do and you're surprised? D: No, I can't believe something like this happened and I don't have a pun prepared. N: You are a strange man. D: Thanks. N: And yet, not the worst at your job. Perhaps I'll come back for another session. But if I do that, we're talking directly or not at all. Also, I'd check your assistant's background. D: Consider it done. So, do you want to keep the paperweight? Consider it a memento. N: No thanks. I have enough stuff weighing me down, I don't need something else. D: Oh man, ANOTHER pun. You're good at this. N: See ya ‘round, Doc.

I just wanted to say that my dad was there for Dee 01:56 me, Terry and I, Roy. That's right, the Air Force doesn't really have a call. No. And that call really belongs to the the Marine Corps. That Ron, we just kind of borrowed it from them because we carry them around. Roy Barker 02:14 Yeah, that's what, that's what some movie, they said something, you know, the little rivalry between the Marines and the Navy and said, like, Hey, we y'all are just our transportation. Dee 02:25 And we are Roy Barker 02:28 great, well, thanks so much for taking time to be with us. You know, one thing that we talk about a lot in this journey is mindset. Because, you know, the reality is, is I could go, you know, I'm overweight enough, I think I could probably go qualify for surgery, or have other things done. But my, my hesitation for that has always been that if I don't change my mindset, I will never change my body. And because I know people who have, you know, done the different things and had had failure, because they just continued to eat, or drink consumed calories in some manner that just exceeded you know, what they were expanding. And I know, it's not always just about calories in calories out. But you know, we kind of have to have some kind of an equilibrium there. So it's a pleasure, you know, thanks for taking time to be with us and help us, you know, with this part of the part of that journey. Dee 03:21 For sure, it's an, it's I know, it's important to you, Roy. And, and it's important to me, also. And it's important for that I live, what I teach, so that I can teach it well, right? So mindset is everything. And even with our wellness. Roy Barker 03:43 So what are some things that you what are some challenges that you see that your clients have in trying to get the mindset, right, and some things that you've done to help them? Dee 03:55 Well, there's, I think there's two parts to if we're talking Wait, in particular, one reason is triggers, you know, what our triggers are and then we have this unconscious feed into the trigger. And then the other thing is the unconscious protection of, of our body of our of ourselves. So, for example, if we are feeding ourselves because we are lacking pleasure, because eating is pleasurable. Yes, you know, and if we're lacking pleasure in our lives in some place, then we were always going to seek it out. We're going to figure out how to make ourselves feel good. So that's why people eat an excess or drink in excess because it makes them feel good, because they're filling a hole that that's not being filled somewhere else. Okay? That that pleasures Enter. So other people do it with drugs, they do it with sex. There's different kinds of ways to fill that pleasure. And so that's one thing. And the other thing is, we have an unconscious way of protecting ourselves. And we'll do it like even from stress. So if you and I know this about me, so if I'm, if I'm working on something, and then I get to a place where it's particularly hard, I'll get up, and then I'll go right to the pantry. Roy Barker 05:35 I guess I had an episode like that just the other day, rather. Dee 05:40 And the, what I'm doing is trying to get back to that trying to get rid of that uncomfortable feeling that's in my body. So you know, we, when we're hungry, are our body sends a signal to our mind, we're hungry. So there's a discomfort that's going on. And so we associate that discomfort with beating ourselves feeding ourselves. So we use it in every other thing that we do. Okay, if we're not, if we're in a state of discomfort with, you know, with work, we don't like that feeling. How do I get rid of that feeling? Oh, I'm used to eating. And what eating does is slow down the digestive system, or gives the body something else to do and concentrate on. So we're not concentrating on that hard thing, that stressful 06:35 thing? Okay, Roy Barker 06:37 no, and it's funny. I mean, I was kind of joking. But it just the other day, it wasn't necessarily like, Oh, my gosh, moment of heart or stress, it was just, you know, kind of bumped up something I was thinking about. And I thought, I got out my chair turned around the head of the kitchen, thinking, you know, I'll get me a little something to hate. But that's interesting how that how, you know how you explain that about it, kind of that unconscious thing, because it is in the past while notice, you know, you run in there and get something to eat, and you eat it. And they think, oh, gosh, I shouldn't have done that. You know. And I think the other thing that you talk about too, is that feeling of hunger. One thing, and I verbalize this to Terry, so I can talk it out, but it's separating the feeling of a little hunger twins from the feeling of death. And it's like, Okay, that was just a little hunger thing. It doesn't mean, it doesn't mean that if you don't eat, you may die in the next five minutes. There's no urgency to run in there. Because a lot now, we've been really working hard on the last week to get back on track. And so I feel that little hunger and I go get a glass of water or you know, something else. Dee 07:48 And it passes, you're hungry, you should eat, you know, because our body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do what it was built to do to tell us when to eat that we're hungry. But the other times, we have to ask ourselves, what are we really hungry for? Right? You know, am I Seeking Safety, satisfaction? Pleasure to get rid of that discomfort? So, you know, what are you really hungry for so that is the that's the thing, or am I thirsty? Yeah. Roy Barker 08:19 Well, I'm Dee 08:20 getting that question. And you know, what am I really hungry for? Yeah, am I bored? Do I need excitement here? Roy Barker 08:26 So you know, that's me. And let me rephrase my what I say when I say hunger, I mean, maybe a little twinge in my stomach, not like full blown stomach, ground. But that's the thing is, you know, in the past, it's that, that very first trigger, like it's just kind of that little empty feeling. It's like to go fill that hole. But then the other thing, like you said to is the excitement and one of the funniest things when I first realized that is, you know, Terry was out running around, she called me one day and said, I'm heading back home. Are you about ready for lunch? And I said, Yeah, I am. I'm getting kind of hungry. And so then, in my mind, I'm getting all excited because I'm thinking, Oh, she's gonna go buy chick fil a, and she's gonna get us a chicken sandwich. And then she said, Okay, well, we've got some leftover salmon and expired asparagus in the fridge, right? And I just deflated Terry 09:18 and I heard it over the phone. I could see it, you know, Roy Barker 09:21 and luckily, I kind of had some self realization there. But I'm like, wow, I was putting way too much emphasis on this takeout lunch to make, you know, excite me or make me happier, be something different from the day. It's strange. Dee 09:37 Because that's the pleasure in it. Eating is pleasurable, you know, food is, is delicious. That's why they put that you can make food delicious, right? So there's a difference between feeding hunger and satiating the hunger. So you can eat and then you just go that just wasn't good. Like you're But you're not satisfied, right? And that that makes you eat more, because you're trying to satisfy whatever pleasure it is that you're looking for. Yeah. So making healthy delicious food is the best deal. That's, that's the best and it's Roy Barker 10:21 no fault to Terry's but just for me dressing, Terry 10:24 was it really dangling a carrot? Roy Barker 10:26 I No, no, no, I didn't mean making healthy delicious food. It's just, it's hard for me to seize on some vegetables or something. Something that is healthy. Goodness knows she tries very hard to jazz stuff up and hide it in this and turn it around and make it that but sometimes I can just always tell it's a it's a vegetable that one Terry 10:51 can't do? Well, how do we find out? Which pleasure we're trying to go after? I mean, how do we find that out? Dee 11:02 You ask yourself and so that that's part of the the mindset thing is, is first is being mindful? Are you guys familiar with you know, with being mindful? is just being in the moment right? Not in the past? Not in the future? Just a moment? Yes. And observing What's going on? Okay. So and then you can do that with with your body? You know, with the body scans, this is from head to toe, what do I feel in my head, and my throat and my my chest and my stomach? And you can when you're mindful you know your body You know, when you when you're used to doing that body scan? If you do that every day, you know your body then you know when you're hungry. You know when you when it's when is boredom or you're seeking pleasure or happiness or or something else besides food? Because you're so in tune with your body. Yeah, so just starting starting there with being mindful. Roy Barker 12:08 The other thing Terry is kind of pushed me into doing a little more is the mindfulness actually, when we eat to help, it seems to have helped me slow down and not eat as much because if I'm sitting here at my desk, eating or if I'm up walking around, or you know, watching the TV or whatever, sometimes it's like you're not really paying attention. It's just the process. Yeah, you're just shoveling it. And then you find out you know, he passed home you pass being not hungry about five minutes ago, but yet you're still here eating. Dee 12:42 Yeah, it's like, that's why by I used to love Doritos. I mean, like, Doritos were great. But I couldn't eat a little bag, I had to have the family size. And then I would just eat mindlessly, right? Just eating them. While I stopped doing that, and just getting a small bag because I wanted to savor them. So was mindful about how long it was taking me to eat one chip, right? Because I wanted to make it last. So I could eat that one bag, that one small bag. At the same time. The same rate, I could eat a big bag, but I'm eating less. Yeah. The other one is just crunching through them. And I'm not paying attention to what I'm putting into my body until I started keeping a log that I just did it for three days. And I was just discussing, I was like, okay, three days. 13:40 Oh my, Dee 13:40 I'm good. I see this. And these are easy things to break. Because one of the things that I'm about mindset is self love. is loving yourself. You can drive past Wendy's and say that's not loving me. That's not loving me. So I started doing that. years ago when I had breast cancer and I went straight raw vegan. So, Roy, you're saying, you know the vegetables? That's all I had was the festivals. I didn't even have fruit because it had too much sugar. And the vegetables were mostly raw. You couldn't cook them pass 130 degrees. Oh, well. So and I did that for three years, three years and three years. Yeah. But that's I did that instead of chemotherapy. So what I was doing was feeding my body was improving my health instead of tearing it down with a chemotherapy drug which kills everything right? what I was doing was building my immune system up and making my body more alkaline. And you do that with raw vegetables, were all organic vegetables interesting. And I lost weight. Because of that not because I was trying to it was because because I was eating clean. Now, I'm, I'm not a raw vegan now. But that lifestyle I was it was all about self love and helping myself feel better. Like, I felt like I was tearing my body down because I didn't love me enough, I would put everything before me and then just throw some stuff in my face, Feed my face, whatever, and go help somebody else I was good at helping other people but not me. And that showed in in my weight it showed in my skin, it showed in my hair. It showed in my quality of sleep, because I wasn't caring for myself. And then it manifested into cancer. After that, and there's some other mindset things going on with that too was relationship with my mother and other things that I was trying to disguise or mask with food. And cancer was the Okay, you can do this or you can die. You know. So I changed my whole life with changing the way I ate and how I thought about food, food was medicine, instead of pleasure eating, you know, the redoes you know, and then just like drive in Platt pass those places. I would say, if I craved it, when I would say to myself, that's not loving me. That's tearing me down. Would I let anybody tear me down? Nope. So I would drive past it. And then I stopped even seeing the chick fil A's. I stopped even seeing the McDonald's and the Wendy's and the places I used to go because my husband said this a Popeye's chicken over there. And I go Really? It goes. I was like, I've been driving past here for three years. I haven't seen it. It's like Yeah, because it wasn't even in my conscious awareness. I would be looking for the whole foods, you know, the sprouts. So those those kind of places where I can get the healthy food for me? Does that make sense? Yeah, it Roy Barker 17:28 was just a, it was the way I was thinking my on my radar. That's what it was on my radar, what were the best places that would serve my body and keep me well. So again, back to the interesting concept about the pleasures about I guess I'm that way as well, when you drive down the road is that you? You see that as that's pleasurable or adventurous. And it's, you know, we're trying to go with this mindset of, we eat food to live and you know, I'd like if you want to tell us more, I'd be glad to, you know, would be interested in hearing your story about the cancer and eating claim because we have been trying, you know, we're not totally vegetable or plant based. But we're trying to move that way. And we've, yeah, we've been this week and you know, we're getting rid of some things but we're trying to move plant based for a lot of things the we've heard the digestive system works 80% of the time, you know, burns 80% of the time trying to digest food and so the other thing we've tried to do is do a little intermittent fasting as well and I tell you what, I can tell the inflammation in my own arm injury is way down because it had gotten so bad, you know, the last four or five weeks and I couldn't even you know, move it across the front my body without it hurting but inflammations down the sleep is better just like this morning. You know, I made up my mind I'm sleeping in till you know whenever I wake up and you know about 536 o'clock, Ma'am, I'm I was up without an alarm and you know, feeling energetic, not just an old drowsy, wake up. So But anyway, if you want to, if you don't mind, you can expand on that. I'm interested to hear about that. Dee 19:15 Sure, um, first of all, I'm not a dietitian, or nutritionist. This is just my journey. Yes, yes. So I was looking for alternative ways to treat cancer. Because I was always, even though I was a vegetarian, vegetarian slash vegan. I was a junk food vegetarian vegan, which means I had Doritos as one of the food groups made from corn, and processed cheese. It's not even real and things like that. So um, so even though I didn't eat meat, I said Ate poorly, which contributed to, to my bad health. And when I was diagnosed with cancer, I had to make some decisions like everybody else does, like what kind of treatment are you going to have? Are you going to have surgeries are you going to do all of these things. So I was looking for alternative ways to, to treat it. And I found this Health Institute called Hippocrates. And I drove down and went to their, their day of orientation, we tasted the food, they wish they showed us the grounds, because you you can live on site, it's like going away. So went away for six weeks. And they have a medical staff on premises, you know, they, they have your diagnosis, and they design a plan for you. But mostly, and you can, for people that are interested in this, you don't have to be sick to do this, you actually want to do this before you're sick. You know? And there's lots of videos if you just go to YouTube and look up Hippocrates. And you can they have many videos on why the food, the food that we that we just go to the store is damaged, basically, you know, and we all know about GMOs and, and all of those kinds of things. So try to eat. So eating vegetables is not just one thing but eating organic, that don't have pesticides, even we even got down to like the type of underwear that I wore, you know, was it cotton? Or was it all synthetic and polyester because it doesn't breathe, your skin needs to breathe. So I feel things when I go to the store and I'm just like this is dysplastic I'm not you know, my my I'm not going to be able to breathe, my skin's not going to be able to get what it needs from that. The mattress that I I bought you know I got rid of the old mattress and now that the matches that I have is a Stearns and foster was what is this just cotton and wool? You know, it doesn't have any of the synthetic stuff on it because everything else has chemicals and things in it. So I was like strict, strict on all of those things still. As far as the food is concerned, it was his juicing. And then it was raw veggies, lots of sprouts, everything that is in its first stages of growth. So sprouted foods, sprouted grain if you're eating bread. So those kinds of things that are healthier for you. Roy Barker 22:46 I just asked her yesterday we bought something and it said sprouted and I asked her what does that mean? So Terry 22:52 thanks for some sprouted lentils. And 22:55 yes, so that Roy Barker 22:56 just means that it's young, younger in the growing cycle. Dee 23:00 That's when it's, it's the most nutritious, okay? Because it is the like you can even get vinegar that has the mother. That means that it's giving life. So you want to get food that's in the giving life stage. Okay? Because if you if you get go to a store and you get broccoli and it's slim, there's no life force in it, it can't give you anything, okay, so you want to get veggies and fruit as close to off the vine or off of out of the ground as you can get them because that's when it's going to be most life giving. So if they're frozen if you're eating frozen vegetable, if they're frozen at the at their ripest or if you can sprout your own mung beans and I did that for a while I grew my own wheat grass. Because I you know, doing the three years I did regress twice a week. I mean, I'm sorry, twice a day. Oh, wow. Okay, now just squeeze in a week. Yeah. You know, you take a bunch of wheat grass, you take this much of wheat grass and you get this much juice. 24:14 Oh my god, Dee 24:14 but that juice the wheatgrass juice and you can look that up. And this is something that you might want to look into Roy, because it's going to cleanse your body. Like all the waste that your body is holding on to that's what makes you sick. And that's what makes you stay fat. Okay, Roy Barker 24:33 I'll check that up. Dee 24:34 It's wheat grass and sunflower seeds, sprouts. You know, there's those that you put on your salad, it's gonna make your salad. Don't put wheat grass on your on your salad but sprouts put them on your salad. wheatgrass the body can't break down is to phosphorus. fibrous, so you want to juice that oak but spring outs, like broccoli sprouts, they have flavor. So if you if you're having a sandwich like zucchini, man, I'm telling you guys come to my house. And it'll be delicious. Okay, because it has to be because otherwise you're gonna want to go eat somewhere else. Yeah. But if you do, you know, a simple wrap, like, you take a Ezekiel bread wrap, because it's it sprout it, and then you spread hummus on it. And then you put a layer of sprouts, and then zucchini. Okay, and then you can put some shredded carrots and put peppers, things like every all of these things that have flavor, and then sprinkle some. I go to Zoe's and get there. Do you guys have always there? It's like a Mediterranean restaurant. Yes. And and I buy their seasoning. Okay, because it's already mixed. It's all instead of me going to my cabinet and getting all this stuff I love there's so I just I put it on everything. And then to some salt and pepper. And then you roll that up and you have this fresh. So good. Sounds great. Yeah, it just happens in there. And then there's, they make. It's, I think the food industry is catching on. Now. They're making more plant based foods. Roy Barker 26:43 Yeah. Dee 26:45 So you know, if you shop but you just have to know where to shop to get them. You know, to get the things that tastes delicious. Roy Barker 26:53 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your story. If you want us finish, tell us about your journey. I just think I thought it was interesting that we were just talking about the sprouts, sprouts last night because I was like, I don't even know what's good. Yeah. Dee 27:06 It's good. It's good. So basically, that's the story is just, you know, I went to the Health Institute, instead of going to chemotherapy, and I didn't know what I was gonna do. I was like, you know, you don't know what you're gonna do. Everybody's coming to you, hey, do this, read this book, drink that take this shot, go to that place. I mean, everybody was an expert in cancer. You know, everybody is my cousin had cancer. And she did this, you know, so everybody's telling you all of these things. And you don't know which one to do. Everybody's journey is different. So I did go to the oncologist and sign up to have chemo and had an appointment to get my port put in. And I remember sitting there thinking to myself, I cannot do this. I cannot do this, but I went, because that was an option, right. And on the day, I was supposed to start my first I to get my port put in. I found myself on the road drive into Hippocrates. Wow, I don't even know why I got the money to go to Hippocrates because it wasn't $12. Roy Barker 28:17 Right. Dee 28:19 But I went I showed up. And the first part of it was just a detox like that first week. I was just detoxing. My head was hurting all the time. You know, and I had, I had three roommates. And all of us were crappy. You know, if you ever had a headache, and somebody is trying to talk to you, or you hear somebody else talking on the phone, like everything was bothering me, oh my god. So but then everybody was going through this, this detox. And then we just were you know, we're building the body up. And it wasn't just food. There were also different treatments. Asana, I still do sauna. I have a personal sauna. I do a sauna three times a week. It helps with detoxify your body. If you have cellulite. That's toxins in the body. Okay, yeah, I've Roy Barker 29:11 heard that that there's a guy that he actually developed a like a sauna routine because Well number one, it's you know, I've always heard it just sweats the poisons out of your body but he had developed this routine where you know, you go in for so long and then you come out cold shower, hydrate, yeah, go back in but it was a whole process that he developed. Dee 29:34 We had all of that there. Okay, it's a cold plunge. Okay, so you come out of the sauna, and then you go into the cold plunge. And then you go into the it's a saltwater pool. So and they had all of those things there for us. So, coming out of a hot sauna going into a cold plunge pool. It's like needles on your skin. It wasn't something because you're supposed to just play To the pool, oh, yikes. So I would just step in and then want the needles, needles, needles, and I get down in it for a little bit. And then I go to the saltwater pool. So we did that, draining the lymphatic system, getting the lymphatic system going, because that's also how you are releasing toxins from the body. So just jumping on a trampoline. So in the morning, we get up and jump on a trampoline. Or you can go to the you know, the little personal trampoline, or go to the, to the gym, and there was this thing that we stood on and it was Shake, shake. So all of those things are releasing the toxins plus colonics. I know that sounds extreme. But look, I had cancer. Yeah. colonics. And we were doing go to the website and see all the stuff that we were doing because it may sound extreme to the people and I don't want to scare people. Eating was just part of it. How we were treating our body, this vessel that carries our soul. What is the important thing and loving ourselves? Terry 31:16 Well, and How is your health now? That was three years ago? You said? Dee 31:22 That was 2013? Okay. Oh, Terry 31:25 that was a long. Okay. Okay. Dee 31:27 That was 2013 No, I I said I was raw vegan for three. Yeah. Okay, so I, I am, I call myself a flex, vegetarian now because I eat meat sometimes. And I eat meat when I crave it. Yeah, if I, if I'm craving it, that means that it's something from the meat that my body needs. But most of the of the time, you know, like I said, I'll make a wrap. Or I will have a, you know, some kind of I like this brand is it's a frozen brand is called rabbit. I think it's called rabbit food. But it's like, you know, the their bowls, and they have qinhuai and veggies and all kinds of really good stuff in in those. Okay, so, and I eat pizza, cuz I love it. Well, you know, but I, you know, I'm just making sure I know that when I'm eating it. I'm just like I call I know what I'm eating. But most of the time is, you know, I try to eat clean. Roy Barker 32:34 Now, that's our approach is that, you know, it's not, if we wanted meat or fish or whatever, it's definitely okay to go have it, it's just, if we're not craving it, trying to stay off of it, just, you know, like you said, Our body is a vessel and we need, we need to take care of it. And because what we see is so many people you get once you get into older, become older, then all of a sudden, you know, you start having things happen because of the way you live when you're younger, and then you can't recover from that. And so, you know, my hope is to be in a little bit better place. But anyway, I think the the body as a vessel because it has the eating, but then we have to think about our sleep, our mindset, you know, we need to have that positive outlook gratitude. And you can, you know, I'd be glad for you to speak to that portion of it as well. Dee 33:28 Yeah, mindset is everything. I mean, my I do this thing with my clients where it is I help them with their life categories. Okay, so life categories are things like work home, education, leisure time, how you, how you spending your life, and I have them, choose the categories and then rank them. So I show them an example of mine. And spirituality is ranked number one in mind. And my spirituality doesn't mean church, because I haven't been to church and I don't know how long because I that's not how I do spirituality. My spirituality is all encompassing, it is my personal connection to what I call source. And when and how I commune with source is through meditation. I believe that prayer is talking to source or talking to God and meditation is listening for the answer. So that is when I'm quiet. You know, I may go to source with a request or a need or even gratitude, and then it's my turn to listen for the answer. is an in that quiet is when I get the things that I need. I used to go I don't know, I don't know, I don't know and spending 30 years in the military, that wasn't an acceptable answer. I don't know. So I descripted from my vocabulary I was I rarely said, I don't know. It was, I will go find out. Let me check on that. Yeah, that's what I substituted. I don't know what so saying it, I don't know was it was like a failure to me. So I had to get over that I had to get over is over, saying that there was something wrong with me not knowing. And then going into meditation, saying, I don't know what to do. Help me. I don't know what's next. I don't know the answer, and just being still and quiet. And then I would just, I would hear it, or I would dream it, or I'd be in the shower, and I would just be downloaded with all of this information. When you were I got a lot of my inspiration. Like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna do that. Let me Hurry up and get out of here. So I can go and do it. Yeah. But it was always the answer to what I was needing. But I had to be in that space to listen to it. And I did that all through my cancer journey. That's when I was the closest to God is through that journey? Because that's when I just surrendered and said, I don't know what to do. I don't know what the answer is. You know, I'm, I'm just surrendered into this. And I'm just going to go where I'm led to go. So that is my mindset with this is there is a spiritual answer to every problem. And that comes from Dr. Wayne Dyer. Wayne Dyer, Dwayne Dyer, Wayne Dyer. Wayne Dyer. So he says, There's that and he actually wrote a book called there's a spiritual answer to every problem. And that's what I believe. So my mindset is, how do I get help for whatever this problem is, that I can't solve? By what I already know. Then I go outside of me for that resource, not to my husband, or my uncle Jimmy, who uncle Jimmy is like, he's like, he's the vegan max. Man. I'm telling you, he's anything you want to know about veganism. My uncle. We had a whole conversation yesterday, he was telling me something else to eat. But anyways. So in the spiritual practice, stems everything else that I do in life. It's my coaching. It's, it's the work with my clients. It's the speaking as the workshop is the books that I wrote, they all come from that stillness, that moment, those moments when I've just been quiet. So I'm divinely directed on everything that I do. So that gives me this positive feeling that feeds into everything. And all that stuff that used to bring me down that I used to care about, I don't anymore the things, you know, that I used to care about what other people thought about me or my family, and how things looked. You talk about optics, especially about being a naval officer, everything was how things looked. Right. How you present yourself, and I used to tell my husband before we went places, okay, we're going in with my people. Don't talk about your toenails. Okay, so my husband is a marine. And so, we had these two, two sets of friends and he was enlisted Marine, and I was a naval officer. So to to set two different sets of types of people. So I felt most comfortable with my husband's people. But my work was these people from the Navy, the Naval Academy and Admiral disan. Captain this in general, that, you know, so and I was a public affairs officer. So I did a lot of work with, with the higher echelon in in the Navy. So when we went to these affairs, I would tell my husband, okay, we're not with the grunts. Gonna have to do this because this is how it looks. And this is my community. The community is small and everybody talks. If I want You get promoted, then you need to be polished when we go to these things. So my husband goes on staying home. Terry 40:09 Oh, man, I don't blame him for that at Roy Barker 40:11 all. It's interesting, though. Dee 40:14 Yeah. Oh, no, I'm Roy Barker 40:14 sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead. No, go ahead. No, I'm just gonna say it's interesting because I have another business show, and I just had a conversation with the guy. And we were covering these kind of the same things like the recruiting, you know, we were talking about knowledge on paper versus I want somebody that is self reliant enough or self Terry 40:39 confident? Roy Barker 40:40 Well, I guess mindfulness of themself or in their moment that it's like, they don't have to have every answer. You have to know when to go seek the answer, and or how to go seek the answer, not necessarily having all the answers. And then the other thing about the facade is, you know, a lot of businesses, you know, there's a great book, and I wish I could she's an upcoming guest on the business show, but she talks about that most businesses have a facade, you know, you look at it, and you think, well run this is this, but once you pull the curtain back, there's total disorganization, and everything behind that. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I just think it's, it's a parallel to our personal life. I mean, we've got to get our personal life squared away. And what's important to us and I like that spiritual side, because I'm the same way my, my connection right now, you know, is going for a walk, I can take a 15 minute walk, and it's like, cleansed fresh ideas coming in. And but you know, when you're sitting here, on the computer, or right in the midst of it's hard to, it's hard to gain that clarity sometimes. Dee 41:52 Until you get up and walk away. Yeah. Yeah, and release the mind, you're releasing this, the subconscious mind. When the subconscious mind is engaged, it's going to, it's in charge, basically, because it's feeding you all the things that you believe. And then when you get up and go for a walk, you disengage from that subconscious mind and you're conscious. That's why mindfulness is so important. You're not on autopilot anymore, which is the subconscious. It's, this is how we do this. This is our regular routine. This is what we believe in, and how we do it. When you're conscious, you can change it. Roy Barker 42:35 Okay. And Terry 42:36 so, I was gonna, I'm sorry, I was gonna ask so how, how much time do we spend subconsciously thinking versus consciously thinking like throughout the day or week are? Dee 42:51 Your subconscious mind is 24 747, that's 24 seven that's always on 24 seven. So like, when you go to sleep, you're not conscious. You're not dead, but your conscious mind is engaged. But your subconscious mind is Yeah, yeah. You know, so it's always going on it's always it's, it's a tape this plane in the background even now. Roy Barker 43:18 So how does, how does hypnosis tie into this? Because I guess it it kind of reaches out to what's in the the unconscious mind to pull that forward? Is that a correct way to explain that? Well, Dee 43:37 somebody use my hands for that. There's these four, four pieces on that decides our behavior. Okay? So are five pieces, there's events that go on in our lives from zero to 10 years old when we're babies to about 10 years old. When information is just coming in. And then it gets stored in the subconscious mind like a file like file cabinets. And some of that information changes. If we can disprove it, like Santa Claus. Hopefully no children listening. Oh, sorry, guys. Yeah. There's no Santa, Santa Easter Bunny Tooth Fairy, all those things that we are taught or shown when we're children. We're excited about them when we're when we're kids. And then something comes along for us to disprove those things. So they're not stored anymore. They're stored as a memory, but then we still have the truth with them. Then there's other things like if you for example, if you believe in God, if you believe in God than that, and and that is your rock solid belief and you and it's there until unless some Then comes along to disprove it, it is your belief. Right? Right. So we have trillions of these beliefs. Because they've, we've been conditioned with them as kids. As Don Miguel Ruiz says, he's the author of the Four Agreements. He says, we've been domesticated, to believe these things. Like this color is blue, that's red, this is yellow, we've agreed that these are the things our beliefs, so. And then along with those benign beliefs, like the colors, we have events that happen in our life, say, for example, you burned yourself on the stove. And so now the belief is fire is hot. Fire is dangerous, it's an event. And you remember it, because it was a traumatic event or something profound that happens. So that is the event that causes the belief. Events, or, or repetition and conditioning causes the belief. Why is that important? Because I beliefs make us feel the beliefs make us emotional. And that emotion is what drives the behavior. Okay. So for example, if, when it comes to our health, if as children, we were conditioned, that sugar is bad, sugar is bad, sugar is bad, we were never given sugar. So our belief is, sugar is bad. The feeling is when you get something that has a lot of sugar in it, you will just go you're feeling oh my goodness, this is just so bad for me as you're feeling. So you You're, you're really pointing in about whatever that is, or sugars dangerous. So you have fear around it. So what you do is when somebody serves you ice cream is you push it away. That's the behavior. So if fork and the opposite is if someone always if you did something great. And you were rewarded with cake. Yeah, your belief is, yeah, when I do something great. I'm reward, this is a reward to have something sweet. And that makes you feel good about yourself. And then a splendid Dairy Queen. Roy Barker 47:35 Exactly, exactly. Dee 47:37 So you're getting the pleasure from that eating things is pleasurable, and it makes me feel like a winner. It is my reward. interest. So the behavior is I aced this thing at work. Now I'm going to Dairy Queen, that's the behavior, right? So the subconscious mind all this beliefs, drives the behavior. And everything that we do. It's all coming from the belief. So how. So if you want to change a behavior, you need to figure out what the belief is that drives this drive in that feeling. So many times when we talked earlier about where we're feeding something that is not hunger, we could be feeding an emptiness, an empty feeling that that that you associated with pleasure, I need pleasure. I feel empty right now. So how do I get that pleasure? I remember that eating gives me pleasure, because it makes me feel like a reward, like I'm rewarded. So I want that reward feeling right now. Interesting. So I'm going to go do that. So all of that little stuff is all tied together. And when you recognize that you can change it, you can change that belief, like eating doesn't have to be associated with a reward. What else can you do? What can you replace it? It's good to have that is it's good to have the feeling of being rewarded or the feeling of pleasure, or feeling of happiness. But what can we replace the eating? Yeah, to still get that feeling of happiness? Well, and so you can change that belief. Or you can change that belief, the belief to I'm amazing anyways, the belief is I don't have to be, you know, I don't have to be amazing with a banana split. I'm amazing with a sticker, or whatever that is. But so just if you change the belief, you can change the behavior. Roy Barker 49:54 Yeah, that's easy. Talk that through. I think maybe you know, when you're down are not feeling good. That's another reason I guess you seek out that Banana Split is because it's that trigger of the memory of Oh, that was a happy time or that was a good time. So if I had me some ice cream, I'm gonna feel feel that way. Yeah. Interesting. Dee 50:14 What are you really happy for? Right? I mean, what do you really hungry for it? You're hungry for an Attaboy you're hungry for acceptance. You're hungry for acknowledgement, right? Roy Barker 50:30 Wow. That's pretty insightful. Yes. That's good. Terry 50:36 Yeah. Roy Barker 50:38 Yeah. And then it gets back to being mindful of taking the time to know what that feeling is and why, you know, and then you can kind of sort this out of why we're doing that. Yeah. Dee 50:50 And were you asked about hypnosis on how hypnosis works with that, or was it uteri? So knowing this process, these things, hypnosis, what I do is I regress people back to the initializing event. So that first event where they begin where they stored, or created that belief, Roy Barker 51:13 okay, Dee 51:15 so if there's something traumatic right now, we're talking about something we're talking about pleasurable, it's like, you know, but even then, we would go back to that event where you were given the ice cream every time you did something and give you an ice cream. So we would go back to that first event. You were you were three years old, and you peed in the potty. So and then you get something every time you pee in the potty. So you would say that in hypnosis, I peed in the potty, then we would we I would talk to you. And I would say things right at that time, and I would just go give yourself a high five. What do you want to do? I want to go get ice cream. And I would we would make some corrections right there. And I would say Roy instead of ice cream, because adult Roy finds this as a problem. What do you want to do three year old Roy to to change that instead of what do you really want? What you really want is approval from your parents. So they can put on potty music for you what I that's what I used to do for my daughter. We used to play the music it was some song that says party dance party party because she was being conditioned to dance after okay doing party. So we could change that they're in hypnosis. And the reason why it works so well in hypnosis is because it's an extreme form of focus and, and relaxation. And there's no interference from this thing called the critical factor. The critical factor is the thing that analyzes and discerns everything okay, it's part of the conscious mind. Interesting. So that is not activated when we're in in hypnosis. So it's nothing blocking you from taking in this new information and making it your new belief. That's why hypnosis is so effective. Roy Barker 53:12 Right? Okay, no, that's cool. I you know, I've never really thought about it that way but you know, it makes sense and goodness my problems are multiplied times three because I had like both my both my grant one set of grandparents they had the Dairy Queen up by them so it was always that was the celebration I had another grandpa that they had a local drugstore that was you know, going to the soda fountain and getting a banana split and then my dad he had a place out by his office so it's like you know, it my world has seen now that I'm thinking about it my world revolved around ice cream No wonder I love ice cream Yeah. Dee 53:50 Was that a reward? Or those rewards for something you did? Well it Roy Barker 53:55 rewards are just like Sunday Yeah Dad or you know just like whenever I was a little kid and go to work with dad, it might be like three o'clock. Let's go take a break you know, so we go down there you know at my grandparents maybe mowing the yard or doing some chores it's like Hey, you got that done? Let's go you know so i think it was a combination of a way to take a break and socialization but also you know, definitely that reward in you know, growing up the way I did it was like you know you had a bad day well let's go get something to eat that'll take our you know, my grandma she cooked cakes and stuff like well here's this piece of cake or you know the other you celebrate you know, did something good Yay. Let's go Oh, you don't feel good. Oh, you need to eat you're feeling great. Let's go eat You know, it seemed like everything was everything was a trigger. Dee 54:42 And that's how that's how most families are. It's centered around food. Terry 54:47 Yeah, everything is Roy Barker 54:48 and then that socialization part two, because you know, the pandemic has kind of been a little different for us, but you know, we miss going out with like our daughters and kids and going out and You know, meeting somewhere and just the socialization or going with friends. But, you know, there's other things that we can do. And that's kind of one thing we've talked about in the past a little bit, was that that reconditioning of you can socialize without having to, you know, eat, eat things that aren't the healthiest for you. You can have a glass of water or a lettuce wrapper, you know, there's ways to make adjustments, I guess, is the thing. Yeah. Dee 55:31 Sounds now. Terry 55:34 Anything sounds good right now? Roy Barker 55:36 Well, I know we're way long be and I appreciate your time. Is there anything else that you want to enlighten us with before we wrap this up? Dee 55:46 Well, I do want to talk about self esteem. Yes. All of this certainly self esteem and how you feel about your self esteem is how you feel about yourself. And it's everything, okay? Because you will treat yourself like your best friend. If you love yourself, okay. And for your listeners that might need some help in that there I have a free workshop is self esteem is a self esteem workshop. It's It's Sunday, it's a it's not a work, stop. It's a five day challenge. Okay, raising your self esteem. Okay. So, how do you get there? I have to send you the link. Yeah, Roy Barker 56:26 no, no, that's because the link is pretty long. Okay. Now we will post all of your stuff in, in the show notes as well. But now self esteem, let's let's Can you just expand on that just a little bit? Because, you know, it's it's a thing we feel bad about ourselves. And I think, you know, we talked about this in the business into LOD is, we are most of the time, we're the hardest on ourselves. If I have if I have 10 things on my to do list today, and I get seven done. I'm like, I missed three. 56:59 Thank you. Roy Barker 57:01 I should have you know, I could have done this. I could have done a banana split for you. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Instead of just half one flipping that script and saying Holy smoke, I got seven done 70%. If I could hit 70% in the major leagues, I'd be a gazillionaire. So I mean, there's something to that. And the that positive stuff that we run in our mind, you know, we've talked about that again, but we get to choose whether we run negative or whether we run positive. And so, you know, just like me, I don't think about it a lot. But you know, you think out of shape and not looking the way I want to or I can think of I'm making efforts to get where I want to be, you know, I can take that positive spin on it. So I'm sure I'm sure that's all interrelated, correct. Dee 57:50 It is, it's all of it. I'm loving every part of you. Even the parts that aren't as attractive to yourself as you like. But it's, it's where you are right now. And many of us think I can't love myself until I know, fill in the blank, whatever that is. self esteem is loving yourself right now as is. Right now as is. That's why people sell houses and cars, and they could still they can sell things as is because somebody still wants them. Right? Yeah. So why should we discard ourselves? As is? Roy Barker 58:33 No, you're right, in the journey, you know, we need to enjoy the journey. Because I think the other part is we have this hollow goal that you know, when I get skinnier whenever I get the new car, the new house, we have those things that's gonna make me happy. Well, when you get there, it's like, okay, not really. Yeah, Dee 58:51 wherever you are there, wherever you go. There you are. Exactly. Terry 58:55 Yeah. Dee 58:56 So I think Oh, there you are. So if you're not happy at the big size, you're not going to be happy at the small size either. You just might like what you see the reflection in the mirror, but she's still that self love is everything Roy Barker 59:09 right? And, again, this is affects so many things about ourselves, not only our weight, the way we interact with our loved ones in our work life. I mean, it just ripples through every every part of our life. Dee 59:27 It does, yep. So and if you want a mindset, if you want to work on your mindset, I have a mindset membership called mind shift membership, and it gives you daily things to chew on. Okay?

What is vitamin D? Thanks for asking! Vitamin D was discovered in 1922 by American biochemist Elmer McCollum, who was nicknamed Dr Vitamin by Time Magazine. He found that cod liver oil could still prevent rickets in rats, despite its vitamin A having been removed. From this observation, he deduced that it contained a different substance which he called vitamin D.Why vitamin D is necessary? A sufficient quantity of vitamin D is necessary during early childhood years in order to prevent rickets. In adults, it protects against osteoporosis and the deterioration of bone tissue. It also plays an important part in preventing breast cancer and colon cancer. Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, over 1 billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient. In May 2020, an American study suggested that vitamin D deficiency could increase the risks of complications associated with Covid-19. This was based on data from countries severely affected by COVID-19, like China, France, Germany, Italy and the United States. According to a Dutch study, another vitamin may give you an advantage in fighting the virus, and that's vitamin K. Covid-19 causes coagulation of blood and degrades elastic pulmonary fibres. Whereas vitamin K consumed with food participates in the production of proteins which regulate coagulation.How do we produce or find Vitamin D then? But how does sunblock work then? What about skin colour; does that impact our ability to produce Vitamin D? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Nicolle: Hi Dr C, Thanks so much for all you do. You truly have changed my life! I’m looking to have a bit of a mystery solved. I’ve spent since April of this year healing my body, first with the 3 week detox followed by the CBO protocol as I tested positive for candida. During the last week of the CBO I found out I was pregnant! Wonderful news, but very surprising. I’ve been off contraception for 2 years managing my cycle naturally through tracking, very successfully. I have a relatively normal cycle give or take a day or 2. Now the mystery- my conception date happened on the last day of my period. Normally the a safe zone I would have thought? I know the CBO can throw out your cycle but can it throw your cycle out that much? Clearly all of my healing turned me into a fertility machine which I feel very grateful for but would love to know how. :D Thanks again for all you do!! Nicolle Emma: Hey there Dr Cabral, First of all, let me just say that I am extremely grateful for your podcasts and everything you do. The gift of health knowledge that you have given to all of us is priceless for not only ourselves, but our children and loved ones. A few questions: 1) What do you think of the product Advanced TRS (toxin removal system) to remove heavy metals and of zeolites in general? TRS is a nanoparticle zeolite that crosses the BBB. Any safety concerns for adults and children? I have read some regarding aluminum content and I believe that since metals are estrogenic, using the full dose for 6 months caused me to have estrogen dominance. I took a heavy metals test after that and there was nothing concerning reported. Do I even need zeolites anymore in this case? I was using them to help heal my many chronic illnesses and with biofilms. Since I react to egg (I saw that Florafilm has an ingredient derived from egg), I wasn’t sure if I would be able to tolerate that. 2) My kids LOVE your new bars. Thank you SO MUCH for not putting stevia in them! I react severely to stevia which makes many “health products” unavailable to me. Would you consider making more stevia-free products such as the daily shake? I would also love to see some stevia free electrolyte powder! Thank you for everything that you do. Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral I have a question regarding breast health.This year so far iv done a 21 day detox the cbo, then after i went and did a 9 day panchakarma detox, since then my hormones went a little out of balance and lost my period for 1 month and is since always a bit late but starting to regulate. However my question is these changes my body is going through with these protocols has shifted my hormones, i did test for high testosterone high eostrogen and low prog earlier in the year, but my recent breast ultrasound show fibroadenomas and cyst.What is your advice for breast health and how to prevent breast cancer? What causes fibroadenomas Plus when rebounding is it best to wear a bra or not? Thankyou so much regards joanna Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for all the knowledge you provide. I see that there is only 4g of L- Glutamine in the Healthy Gut Support. Can I ask why you decided on 4g when the majority of studies that concluded a positive result from its supplementation were using above 25g on average? Lauren: Hi, recently found out i'm sensitive to salicylates and I know I have many other auto immune conditions. How do you heal your self with healthy nutritional foods, plant based supplements and herbs if you cant tolerate them. IGE is 780 and high Eosinophils. I was having your shake everyday but I cant even have this.... currently tying to treat via therapy. being allergic to healthy food!

节目名称：Screen Age 荧屏时代节目主题：David Fincher& David LynchL: Hey Guys! It's time for the Screen Age. I'm your old friend, Lynn!B: Well, Lynn. Why are you so exited today.L: Because the film Murder on the Orient Express is going to be on the Chinese mainland. You know, I'm a stan of thriller. I've been waiting for it since the last year.B: Take it easy. I think that you would be interested in the director, David Fincher. He is the master of thriller. It's just your cup of tea.L: Yeah, I know him. Some of his films are really classical. However, I mistake him with another famous director, David Lynch sometimes.B: They are similar in some way indeed. And today, Let's just introduce David Fincher and David Lynch to our audiences.L: That's cool!L: David Fincher was born in Colorado Denver of America, whereas, he grew up in California. When he was 18, he worked for Korty--a film company. Later, he changed his job several times. Till three other directors built up Propaganda with him in 1987, he turned his way to directing films.C: Oh, I get a little about what you said. Before his company had been built up, he has directed many advertisement with lots of famous brands: Coca Cola, Pepsi, Levis, Chanel and so on. And he also has cooperated with numerous well known singers, including Sting, Michael Jackson.L: Yeah, you&`&re right. And on no account can we overlook his biggest character as a director, do you know that?C: The biggest character? I think it is his unique directing style. Because what he really think most is the realism of human nature and society. Right?L: You are right. Due to this point, his films are always popular, I suppose.C:That's it.L: Now, let&`&s learn about his films in detail.B: Fincher&`&s work, except "Alien 3", more familiar is "Seven Crimes" in 1996 (also known as "FireWire Chase Order") and "Fight Club" in 1999. In "Se7en", David Fincher shows the talent of a black thriller and cooperates with photographer, to create a detective films that are fascinating in both image and plot. The seven great Sins of the Old Testament: gluttony, lust, laziness, pride, greed, anger, jealousy ... S: Of course, chaos and darkness are the keynote of the film. The director said he deliberately emphasized the boldness of the uncoordinated. New York is filled with moisture, graffiti, and dark corners, and becomes the best place to interpret psychopathic murders. B: The plot is more difficult to get rid of the old mechanism, is still a fresh-blooded new detective cooperate with a old, stable, experienced police. Combat difficult criminals. But the layout of the story and the handling of the conflict are pretty good. It is a good-looking and style detective film.S: However, more exciting is the next work "Fight Club". This is a description of the people who divide the mind, the evil leader of a group of people, to fight each other as the emotional catharsis of the film, not only shows the modern people face the oppression of life, but also revealed that the brutal nature of the confusion will be confused, step by step to the destruction of the hidden worries, for the nature of modern society has a very good warning role.I: Only the subject is very innovative and interesting, and the director of imagination and the wild is also quite aware of convergence, so that the film in the logic and knowledge of experience can be resonance, the view of chilling. However, the director still does not forget the power of rational and love redemption, the drama and The Strange Woman&`&s love, faint become the later male lead reason awakening motivation, it is the most important meaning for the film.B: Like the Seven sins, the Fight Club has been criticized for its violence by some cheap critics. But it is in some ways a serious discussion of the difference between meaningful violence and senseless violence, making these attacks a slap in the face.I: The film&`&s Mirror is smooth and fast, the plot is strong and powerful, a runaway atmosphere full of splitting, tightly clasped the hearts of the viewer. In addition to the "Guess Train", "Tai Pin code", for the lens language application is very good work. "Fight Club" more than the connotation of "seven crimes", the form of use and depth beyond the general Hollywood film.L: It could be said that if David Fincher is a genius, David Lynch could be a lunatic. As a famous American director, who is addicted to the coffee, he made his own brand of coffee. He is the representative figure of the American non-mainstream film industry contemporary. Although he is in the Hollywood, he develops a school of his own. His film is famous for the gorgeous, gloomy and strange style with his black humor.SH: He grew up in the bottom of the society in Philadelphia. He lived in the dark side of citizens&`& life. The violent and corrupt he met has made a great influence on him. Although he is getting on for seventy years old, he has been devoting himself to reappear the nightmare in people's pallium. L: He is so remarkable that he reveals the trauma which we do not want to face with his imagination. I am just a ordinary person like anyone else, he said, our greatest fear is from the death. It's the source of the fear itself.SH: In the 1977, Lynch inspired his Philadelphia life, created the 5-year-old horror film "Rubber Head". In this film, he showed his fear and anxiety to the dark side of society from a father&`&s point of view and surrealism.D: Thanks to the famous producer Ben Barennoz's efforts to finally be released, and a shot of popularity, has been widely affirmed in the commentary field, he pushed on the surreal film production at the forefront.SH: The success of "Rubber Head" attracted attention of the famous director Mel Brooks. In 1980, he invited Lynch to direct the drama "Elephant Man", the first mainstream film of Lynch&`&s creation. Tells the story of a distorted head-shaped "Elephant Man" John Merrick in British society in the 19th century. D: In 1984, Lynch directed the action sci-fi "Dune" for Dino De Laurentis, adapted from Frank Herbert's "Dune" series of science fiction. At the pinnacle of his career, Lynch gave up the big screen film, and in 1990 he launched a music video "Heartbreak Dream" with longtime partner-composer Angelo-Dalmonti. In the same year, he filmed his most successful ABC TV series "Twin Peaks".L: Later, Lynch launched his 5th film, "My Heart Is Wild," and the next few years, he disappeared from people&`&s view. In addition to a 1994-year photo album, there are five of years, people can not hear any news about him. He changed his familiar bizarre themes, directing the road Plot "The Straight Story". More than one person commented: "David Lynch is back." L: That's all for today's program. Hope you enjoy it. I think I won't confuse them anymore.B: Have a nice evening. 最后感谢制作张宇航。 See you next Friday.L：See you～节目监制：赛碧乐编辑：毕鑫屹 邹佳琳播音：邹佳琳 毕鑫屹 孟萌萌 孙晨棣 张桐珲 王雪莹 姜晓璐制作：张宇航
Player for audio file at end of text. Welcome to Episode III of the Infinite Potential Series. Opening wide the eye of the heart. Episodes I & II discussing Radical Life Extension - slowing the aging process and threats to humanity's existence were both exciting and stressful. How do we have good, better than good, wonderful lives in spite of the worldwide crisis in consciousness, the chaos and turmoil as the old world order fades and something new is being born? A: I assert there are learning experiences that, like a rising tide, has the potential to lift all our ships. And for those who (get the hang of this concept) mindfulness become aware enough - the tide transforms to a creative wind of self actualization beneath our wings. There are simple, powerful, established principles. Self knowledge tools hidden in plain view. Overlooked Jewels just lying around. D: If these concepts are so obvious why don't more people apply them? A: Part of it is conditioning. It is hard to break free of cultural trances. Using media to condition people increases power and profit. D: How does the ordinary human being transform the quality of day to day life? How do we even begin to talk about it? A: One good way might be to recognize that there is a science and art to bringing about healthy change. Self regulation is part of it. Self regulation includes stress science and to learn it and practice it costs nothing. Actually it is profitable. The good news is that the rate of change for all of us is increasing. That is also the bad news. That means we need to learn excellent self regulation skills and we need to apply them on a full time, top priority, emergency basis. D: You have been presenting the notion of radical or extreme self regulation and stress management training for a long time. A: Excellent self regulation skills are necessary in order to reduce suffering, accumulate energy, make thinking more coherent, clarify the mind and increase creativity. Don't you think? D: Of course, but sounds like hard work. It should also be fun. A: It can be. But I think doing the best one can to learn and apply change, that is self regulation mind body strategies is choiceless. What is the alternative? In Episodes I an II we have tried to set the stage for what I think is, perhaps, the greatest adventure of mind, body, spirit a human being can have. Self regulation leads to self knowledge which unfolds life changing potential. D: Everyone wants to understand how to better handle the crises that come to us all. A lot of people find understanding their own minds painfully difficult. A: We all have become discouraged, even depressed at times because getting results with our own minds seems so complicated, illusive. It is possible to help some people discover actions and ways to work which can produce breakthroughs - often amazingly fast. Also, we learn in The Process... D: How far can we go in Episode III? A: We can make a productive, start. If we move too fast some may feel overwhelmed and lost. D: Too slow and some may feel bored. A: It's a delicate dance. We must use language carefully so we all understand the meanings of words that are key to the process of mindfulness - of consciousness. English is a young language and scientists working on consciousness are defining and redefining words that we use all the time but often misunderstand - and assume we know the meanings of. Words like happiness, consciousness, thinking , attention, creativity, meditation, contemplation, mindfulness, mindfitness, awareness, self regulation, stress science, spirituality even words like atheism, agnosticism and religious have different meanings to many people. We can prevent much misunderstanding and gain lots of insight if we are clear about our definitions of words. Older, more mature languages such as Sanskrit, Tibetan, Pali, Greek, Chinese, Aramaic, Hebrew and others have words for describing subtle qualities of consciousness - of mind - which are difficult to translate into English. Scientists and others are working to bring those words and concepts into English and other modern languages. This process is a most beautiful art, science and technology. D: The word is not the thing and the description is not the described. A: Yet words are necessary. We can't assume everyone understands them in the same way. D: You say self regulation and stress management is a critically necessary foundation for improving the quality of life. Some might not agree. Can you explain that better? A: Let me answer briefly and then I'd like to focus on just one critically important word. After that we will probably be out of time for Episode III. We will go more deeply in Episode IV. D: What word would you like to start with? A: How about happiness? D: Great. Now why is radical self regulation and stress management so important? A: To increase the quality of life one must increase the quality of consciousness. Enhancing consciousness takes tremendous energy. A bucket full of holes wastes all the water you pour into it. If a person is not practicing self regulation and stress managment competently then they are like a bucket full of holes and cannot accumulate the quantity and quality of energy necessary to enhance their own mental capabilities - consciousness. Paradoxically, low energy causes psychesthenia which means over thinking and disassociation. Furthermore, psychesthenic thoughts tend to be incoherent and fearful which further drives unhealthy stress and blocks creativity and awareness. Conversely, reducing the maladaptive stress response allows energy to build, the brain to run quieter leading to more coherent thinking. In addition, the alpha theta brain wave mix gets richer causing an increase in creative imagery. Self regulation increases awareness, mindfulness which increases ability to watch thinking more clearly. This causes thinking to become even more coherent. Using Maslow's stages of actualization, I believe we tend to self actualize in proportion to how well we watch ourselves think. So, in a sense, all a person has to do is quiet the voluntary nervous system (muscles), which leads to balancing the autonomic system (emotions) which further leads to quieting the central nervous system which leads to the stabilization of attention which leads to ... D: Learning how to transform the moments of life. Mindfulness? A: Perfect. Being a serial transformer of one's own reality. D: What role does faith play? A: For some people their belief, religious, agnostic or atheistic can be a powerful form of self regulation and stress management. D: Krishnamurti once said, "As we are concerned with the total development of the student and not of any one particular aspect, attention which is all inclusive becomes important. This total development is not conceptual - that is, there is no blueprint of the totality of the human mind. The more the mind uses of itself, the greater is its potentiality. The capacity of the mind is infinite." A: That's inspirational. D: We'll come back to self regulation later but now what is happiness? How do we understand it? Is it an illusion? A: Your joie de vie is one of the greatest gifts life has given me. Through happiness and sorrow, you are the happiest person I've ever known. So what do you think? D: I'm so grateful for my life but I was trying to speak for our listeners. A: In our culture most people like to learn through the medium of science. For example, Martin Seligman one of the most influential psychologists has studied happiness for decades. He is a Fourth Wave psychologist who is advancing the field called Positive Psychology. Since the forties psychology has been almost completely focused on treating disorders. The medical model. To psychology's credit these treatments have reduced the total tonnage of suffering in the world. However, Seligman wants psychologists and educators like us to help people who are more or less functional to focus on unfolding hidden potentials - to increase creativity, the joy in their lives. Rather than helping people go from say a -5 to a -2 he wants us to think in terms of helping people go from a +2 to a +6. Instead of focusing on what's wrong with you and trying to fix it, let's focus on what's right with you and amplify that. To increase the total tonnage of happiness in the world. D: But what, exactly is happiness? A: Happiness is a vague term for many things. Seligman describes three major kinds of happiness which are workable in today's world. It is interesting that they correlate well with Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs and stages of actualization. D: You mentioned him before. Who is he? A: A famous psychologist who inspired Seligman. Abraham Maslow taught that humans can actualize their potential and codified some of the stages of actualization which can also be thought about as stages or levels or dimensions of consciousness. D: Decades ago you began suggesting that teaching self regulation to people who were already functional could bring about a greater benefit to society than working with the sick ones. A: Ouch! that sounds pretty cold hearted. Healing the sick is critically important as well. I would have been dead long ago several times over if it were not for expert and timely medical care. As you, know your medical skills saved my life at least once. But I think we have to get both jobs done. The idea is that raising the consciousness of the relatively strong is the best way to raise the consciousness of the electorate and thereby bring improved benefits to everyone including those who are in trouble. For decades I focused on the clinical applications of biofeedback and self regulation and it was a wonderful way to earn a living. But now we have the opportunity to go back to our first love. Positive psychology, life and performance enhancement training is an even greater challenge than clinical treatment. It has been encouraging to see many psychologists and scientists come to similar perspectives. Seligman, for example, has spread these concepts throughout psychology and education with his foundation, books, conferences, website, etc. D: You mentioned three kinds of happiness. A: I think I could make a case for a fourth level. D: Ways of improving one's own mind have been learned by countless people in times past. But somehow mindfulness skills have to be discovered anew within the context of one's own life and culture - as though for the first time ever. The wheel getting rediscovered over and over. A: The fact that we humans can enhance our consciousness and pursue our view of happiness is one of the most interesting, challenging and beautiful aspects of being alive - the essence of being a human being. Upgrading our own mind/bodies is easy to desire but challenging to do. Within the last few decades most scientists including avowed atheists such as Sir Francis Crick and Christopher Koch as well as those of mystical or religious orientations have come to consider the emerging science of consciousness (which includes neuroscience) the most important and most complicated science of our time. One of the science writers, John Horgan said something like "compared to the science of consciousness, particle physics is like a 10 piece jig saw puzzle of Snow White." Leading scientific neurophilosophers including Penrose, Einstein, Bohm, Hammeroff, et al seem to believe that neuroscience, arguably all sciences, emerge from the far more immense and subtler field of consciousness. The debate rages as to what consciousness is and how it arises. However, there is already a great deal known about what ordinary people can do to improve qualities of mind including emotions. D: Happiness? A: Atta girl. Keep me on track. I tend to wander off. D: Happiness!!!! Please. A: The first kind of happiness could be called the pleasant life and consists of having as many positive emotions as you can and learning how to strengthen them. At least six skills have been documented which can help build and amplify positive emotions. Seligman calls this the pleasant life, the Hollywood view of happiness, "the Debbie Reynolds smiley, giggly" view of happiness. D: He is being a bit unfair. She's had plenty of tough times. Besides our younger audience might not know who she is. A: That's right. None the less, there is this upbeat, popular, sometimes superficial notion of happiness. It works for many people who are not yet motivated to go deeper. Of course, suffering and conflict inevitably comes and one must learn more and go deeper than settling for the "pleasant life". D: Hopefully, learning how to transform suffering into something else - wisdom, compassion, a sense of humor. Not taking ourselves too seriously. A: Do you think I take myself too seriously? D: Oh no. Not you dear! A: There is much more to life than pleasure and pleasantness. Yet lots of people are caught up in the pursuit of this form of happiness. D: Then tough times comes in every life, and we have to go deeper inside ourselves while increasing awareness outside at the same time. A: The notion that there is never supposed to be depression and pain and sorrow and fear in life is ridiculous. It happens to all of us. It is part of being a human being. D: It is what one does with emotional trauma and adversity that makes the difference in life isn't it? So, what's the 2nd form of happiness? A: The Greeks had a concept called Eudaimonia. A superficial translation is the good life, the flourishing life. This could be seen as a second stage of happiness which takes a lot of common sense and contact with reality and continuous learning. People like Thomas Jefferson and Aristotle and Plato had Eudaimonia in mind when they referred to the pursuit of happiness. They talked about the pleasures of contemplation and good conversation. They were not talking about raw feeling, thrills, orgasms, smiling and giggling a lot - though they all have their place. They were talking about what Mike Csikszentmihalyi calls "Flow". When one has a good conversation, when one contemplates, meditates well, when one is in eudaimonia you are, at least at that moment, experiencing the good life. There is less self-consciousness, one is one with the music. There is a timeless quality. I've termed this fourth dimensional consciousness because of the shift in time and space orientation and enhanced multi dimensional sensitivity. D: It seems so simple, so obvious - the good life. Why is it so difficult for most to grasp - to learn? A: Probably unhealthy conditioning. Faulty programs running around in the brain. D: So one must decondition oneself? A: Yes. But it might be better if we go a little more slowly as reducing unhealthy conditioning is difficult and mysterious for most people. Although, reducing unhealthy conditioning sometimes happens fast and relatively easily if certain insights are achieved - if the mind is effectively used. But it takes what I call Profound Attention. High quality, sustained attention. Which by itself improves consciousness. D: And thinking. And creativity. And energy. Sustained attention is one of the principles underlying the MindFitness Training, isn't it? A: Yes. We begin very simply, basically and then try to move at whatever speed is appropriate for each individual. Beginning with making sure the learner has excellent skills for reducing unhealthy, maladaptive stress. D: There is healthy stress? A: It is called eustress - from the Greek euphoria. Stress means change. Life is change so life is stress. But some change is good for you and some change is bad for you. My career in biofeedback was largely devoted to learning the best, fastest ways to reduce unhealthy stress or change and increase healthy stress or change. D: So stress management - at least very skillful reduction of unhealthy stress leads to the good, the flourishing life - eudaimonia? A: I say radical or extreme stress science and managment definitely does. The good life emerges as one learns to practice what Csikszentmihalyi calls flow. One must discover what his or her signature strengths are - that is self knowledge. Then, apply those strengths - using them more in work, romance, friendships, play, and parenting. Apparently, the more you deploy your highest strengths the more flow you get in life. I think of this quality of flow as being a property of what I call fourth dimensional consciousness. We all have suffering and pain and adversity. Eudaimonia implies considerable skill at transforming adversity, depression, sorrow, anger, fear - somehow- into the creative process - into living ever more creatively. Which transforms the quality of daily life. I assert this is skill learning. D: It is encouraging to discover that science, psychology is really working on a positive psychology. A: Did you know that the DSM has added a classification of strengths and virtues - sort of the opposite of the classification of the insanities? D: What is the DSM? A: Its the diagnostic manual used by psychologists and other professionals. The DSM now lists six virtues which are supported across virtually all cultures and these break down into 24 strengths. There is a wisdom and knowledge cluster, a courage cluster, a cluster for virtues like love and humanity, a justice cluster, a temperance, moderation cluster and finally a spirituality, transcendence cluster. Seligman has questionnaires on his website that have been devised to help individuals gain insight into their strengths and weaknesses. D: There is a third kind of happiness? A: The third kind of happiness correlates with a rather high order of actualization and I think is a natural outcome of living the good life, eudaimonia. There is a hunger to go further. The power to go even further seems to be fueled by the virtually inevitable increase of energy and resources eudaimonia generates. There is inevitably a sense of gratitude. D: It seems to me gratitude further increases energy and creativity. A: One discovers one is part of something much larger than oneself. An even deeper meaning emerges out of the immensity of life. D: And death. Death really is part of life isn't it? A: Clearly. This Deeper meaning in life can have many manifestations including "prepackaged" ones like organized religion, political parties, etc. And then there are non prepackaged ones like teaching and bringing change of some sort. This is what we are trying to do. There is usually a feeling of service that somehow brings great meaning and profound happiness. You feel truly needed. D: One feels more passionate. The melody needs the note as the note needs the melody. A: Yes. It goes way beyond just doing it for the money. One who has come this far probably doesn't get up in the morning totally focused on making more money; it's more likely in service of something much larger. A lawyer can be a lawyer only so he can make a half million dollars per year. This is not a particularly meaningful life. This lawyer can, on the other hand, be a lawyer in service of good counsel, fairness, and justice. That's an example of a non prepackaged form of meaning. D: And sometimes she might still make a half million a year. A: Sometimes, but it may be more difficult. Positive psychology is leading to a sea change in psychology and education - from a therapeutic model to a coaching model. The therapeutic model is about finding out what's wrong with you and fixing what is broken. The coaching model is about finding out what is right with you - something you may not be aware of - and getting you to use it more and more. D: What role do drugs play in improving the mind? A: Drugs are so complicated. What is a drug? In general the technique most used to determine the effectiveness of a drug are the changes a drug produces in brain wave patterns. Gambling, alcohol, many illegal drugs, sexuality, music, sports, produce as much or greater changes in brain wave patterns than most prescribed drugs. Because time is short, let's focus on what we usually mean by legal drugs - particularly those that must be prescribed by an MD as treatment for mental problems. D: Many people feel their drugs or medications make them feel happier. A: Seligman points out that there are clearly some drug short cuts for bringing about the pleasant life. But he feels if there are short cuts for bringing about the good life - eudaimonia they are probably not drug related. And he thinks high levels of meaningfulness require mind powers that are way beyond what drugs can do. D: What about psychogens, alcohol, marihuana, cocaine, etc. Some feel they can stimulate the creative process. A: That is a huge question which I would like to look into in a later Episode. Staying with prescribed drugs for now, there are two kinds of medications. There are palliatives, cosmetics like quinine for malaria which suppresses the symptoms for as long as you take them. When you stop taking quinine the malaria returns full force. Then there are curative drugs like antibiotics for bacterial infection. When you stop taking those the bacteria are dead and don't recur. Seligman says the dirty little secret of biological psychiatry is that every single drug in the psychopharmia is palliative. That is they are all symptom suppressers, and when you stop taking them you are back at square one. For example, serotonin and the earlier trycyclic antidepressants work about 65% of the time. Interestingly, the two major forms of psychotherapy for depression - cognitive therapy and interpersonal therapy - are a tie. They work about 65% of the time. The difference is in relapse and recurrence. In psychotherapy you actually learn a set of skills that you remember, so three years later when depression comes back you can apply those skills again. But if you had serotonin or trycyclic antidepressants, three years later when it comes back it comes back in full force. So that's part one - the psychoactive drugs are palliative only, not curative....so the question is, are we likely to find drugs that work on the pleasant life, the good life and the meaningful life? Probably yes for the pleasant life. Obviously there are drugs that can affect positive emotions. Richard Davidson and other researchers are beginning to identify parts of the brain that influence emotion. There are already recreational drugs some of which I have experimented with. Antidepressants don't usually stimulate pleasure but recreational drugs do. The drug companies have been exploiting this for a long time. Clearly there are drug shortcuts to pleasure. But eudaimonia - flow - the good life probably doesn't have short cuts unless we call profound learning experiences a short cut. There is this notion that the more one uses the brain the greater its capacity. And no one can prove so far that it's capacity is not relatively infinite. Profound learning can be fast - in a flash as insight. So that's what contemplation and meditation are all about. I don't see a shortcut to learning flow. We have to use our highest strengths in order to enter into eudaimonia. I doubt that there are drugs that can bring this about. Of course, that is controversial. Unless, we are talking about nootropics. D: Nootropics? A: Smart Drugs. The third form of happiness, which is bringing more meaning into your life requires knowing yourself even better and using your strengths in the service of something you believe is larger than you are. There are clearly drugs which can enhance sensual pleasure - at least temporarily and there seems to be a pharmacology of positive emotion. But it is unlikely there'll be an interesting pharmacology of flow or eudaimonia and I agree with Seligman's notion that a true pharmacology of meaning seems impossible. Unless we are talking about vitamins, nootropics and the like. I assert the secret to eudaimonia, flow and bringing ever deeper meaning to life naturally unfolds from living mindfully. The greater percentage of time one can be mindful the greater the natural unfolding of higher orders of happiness. Living mindfully is the goal of Mindfitness. Learning how to do this is what you and I mean by contemplation and meditation. But to make these principles usable and understandable for more people I think requires innovative use of language and creative coaching. That is what we and others are trying to do. D: Earlier, you mentioned that you think there might even be a fourth form of happiness. A: I don't think there is any purpose in discussing it at this point. Maybe at a later Episode. D: Why not now? A: We have so much, maybe several episodes to go to do even a minimal job with Eudaimonia and the meaningful life - something much larger than oneself. After all, we are focused on being practical. That means anchoring the basics first. D: Does working on the Infinite Potential Series add meaning to your life? A: It does. D: How so? A: Two ways. First I get to research, absorb myself in learning about the mind, my own mind - the bigger Mind. Second, this is a chance to be of service to something bigger than I am - infinitely bigger. What about you? D: You do the work and research. A: You make my life work so all I have to do is what I love to do - this is play - as the Greeks would say, Layla. D: Thanks for the acknowledgment and I'd like to thank our audience for listening. We will go further with Episode IV. Until then relax as much as you can and use your signature strengths to unfold the flourishing life for yourself. May you find yourself in flow - Eudaimonia. A: Thanks for the help, Dagne. D: Thank you, Adam.
