holding you connected to every person and everything in your life, there's going to be a break in that energy, and that energy is coming back to you.

That's chaotic energy.

That's difficult energy for the body to deal with unless you know how to apply a formula, unless you know how to create order out of disorder.

So then, throw in the hormones of stress.

Living in stress is living in survival, and when you're in stress and you're in survival, the very chemicals of stress cause you to heighten your senses and narrow your focus on the cause, and now you're putting all of your attention on the material world.

Now, where you place your attention is where you place your energy, and the rush of adrenaline that's created from the hormones of stress arouses the body to such a degree that you begin to believe that you're your body.

It rouses the brain to put all of the attention on the outer world, because that's where the danger is.

And now, when we're under stress, we can't predict something, we can't control something, or we have the perception that something's going to get worse.

The moment we signal those chemicals, now, all of a sudden now, in survival, we're doing our best to control and predict everything in our life, to bring it all back together.

And so we begin to become over-focused, and we shift our attention from people to things, to objects, to problems, to places.

And every one of those has a neurological network in the brain, and the act of doing that causes the brain to become compartmentalized, and the brain starts firing in a very incoherent way.

When the brain is incoherent, you're incoherent.

When the brain isn't working right, you're not working right.

So then, the very rush of those stress hormones draws from this invisible field of vital life force, this invisible field surrounding the body of energy, and it's turning it into chemistry.

And chronic stress keeps tapping the body's vital resource, and in time, we start feeling more like matter and less like energy, more like particle and less like wave.

And when you feel like you are matter trying to change matter, there's only a certain number of things you can do.

You can fight for it.

You can race to get it.

You can compete.

You can manipulate.
