the species, and address things in a way expressing that we deserve. So remember in the sound meditation in the beginning I did the breath work, and I asked all of you to hold the breath to a certain extent. I was counting. And when people hold their breath, and anyone can experience this if they just take a few deep breaths in and out and then hold the breath and see how much they can hold.
This varies from one person to another, but as soon as it starts to get to 30 seconds, 40 seconds, some people a little more than that, there's an impulse that comes like, you got to breathe. We need to breathe. This is enough. This is the most I can do. And if the person gains more equanimity and bring presence to the mind and discernment and feel, let's be skeptical a little bit.
Is it really time to breathe in now? Can I hold it a little longer? Let's see what happens. And if one holds another 10 or 20 seconds, and the person starts to feel choked up, no, I'm going to die. And then if you keep on holding and holding, you realize, whoa, I can go for another minute. And I can push back this reptilian brain. Impulse, scream, or desire, or need to want to make you breathe.
It rushes to the rescue too quickly. And that is what happens with people. They become irritable, jumpy. hasty, eager, or so fearful, and they imagine something, and next thing, it's real in their head, and it's definite that's gonna happen, but it doesn't happen. This is the impulse that we need to treat. This is the interference of the reptilian brain that every person has.
And you can become entrained by others to do it more. So let me take apart the word entrainment, because I want everyone listening, watching, to really understand, in case if they don't. Entrainment is how our body is being affected by any condition. Music in a film affects the way we are watching the film. The cinematography, the script and other elements, the lighting, et cetera.
Music in a holy house, synagogue, church, mosque, elevates you, takes you inwards. Of course, it's suitable to do that. It's not just any music. If you smell incense, church, cathedral, Hindu temple, or Palo Santo, ayahuasca experience.
All of the music in stores created and in commercial created in a suitable way to affect the prototype client that would be interested in buying that Mercedes or children toy. Obviously, the music is going to be different to grab that person. If you go to a teenage clothing store, the music is going to be different than if you go to Macy's or Neiman Marcus or whatever is being sold there.
So that's entrainment. The most powerful tool for entrainment is the auditory and the olfactory. Visual is very... Advertisements rely heavily on that. Even if you glance at it for one second, it entrains you. It works. And that's why there are commercials and advertisements. So... We entrain each other all the time. If you're driving in a very busy city, I live in New York and I have a car.
And if I go into my car, calm and start to drive and I'm in Midtown now and there's so much traffic and people cutting you off and people are affected by what happened earlier in the day or two days ago and this busyness and I got to get to my appointment. And New York are known to be very impatient and always rushing from one place to another without... Really need to be brushed this much.
But we become intoxicated by these chemicals, neurotransmitters that our body secrete. And speed like substances. And all of a sudden, you feel that you are behaving like them. You're starting to come. If one is not careful, we can quickly become entrained. And then I catch myself. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm losing my temper. I'm losing it. Because I start to take it personally.
Where there's an aspect in us that wants to go there. What is that aspect? How can we become negatively entrained so easily? And the media does that and make a living out of it. They have perfected the art of how to breaking news, release it and bring it on. The music and the camera moves and breaking news. What happens then if you're watching TV and there's breaking news coming?
You're not going to turn it off or change the channel or put it on mute.
And the ratings go high and they make more money. Yeah. But by doing that, they're creating a reality and ensuring a lot of people are watching it. So what is that? Well, it's a hook that gets your reptilian brain engaged. And without thinking about it, we watch the news.
And if things are dire in the world, like around 9-11 and COVID, people will sit and watch the same thing being talked about over and over and over for five, six, seven hours, even an entire day. Why? Something in them wants them to be informed to survive. And that's the reptilian brain.
Exactly. Yes, yes. And this can be some form of magic, but it's very complex. It can be done in a way that is more fine-tuned, in a way that works, and that's what happens in rituals.
But it could be done in a cheap way where there is benefit to the person and does not change things, but it gives way to misinformation and disinformation and so many things, which is dividing the culture, dividing people. And getting people to become subjected to whatever they're interested in, whatever they see as the culprit could be influenced and trained by the outside or the inside.
And then these groups start to coagulate together and they become movements and think. And you can play this, play people, the hive mind. if the establishment knows what's going on. And that has been done. So that's a way of creating reality. This is something that has been happening for quite a long time. And we had many different groups doing it. First, those who had power.
So the aristocracy, the nobility, the royalties created the laws because they had power. And the commoners followed through. And then religions came and realized that, oh, you can create different reality. And it can be really powerful because it's about God. It's about salvation. It's about you realizing, I'm doing good. I'm being a man of God, as they say, even if they kill men of God.
So it's pretty messed up. And then political systems and governments came and did the same thing. Of course, all of these things have done good, and I'm not saying they never do good, but there's that tendency that drive us toward benefiting and mishandling the power mishandling the responsibility and then empowering a very specific group to gain hegemony and control.
We need to stop doing that and find, it has to start with finding why do we do that? Because now we're doing it on a mass media level and social media level, which these things can be used in a positive way. We don't do that. And now we're collecting data points on people to sell them all the things that they don't need. And they end up by working very hard to spend money on buying the things.
