is that we never, ever, ever give a person a meditation to do without a lot of teaching.

I think knowledge and information is the forerunner to an experience.

And so then every time you learn something new, you're making new connections in your brain, right?

Learning is forging new synaptic connections.

And the Nobel Prize researcher Ken Dell in the year 2000 found that people just focus on one bit of information for an hour.

one concept or one idea they'll double the number of connections in their brain as a result of their interaction with the environment but here's the catch if you don't review it if you don't think about it and you don't repeat it those circuits will prune apart within hours or days so if learning is making new synaptic connections then remembering is maintaining and sustaining those connections okay

So what does that mean?

That we give people a lot of information.

I believe that science is the contemporary language of mysticism.

I think science is what demystifies the mystical.

So then before we ever tell a person to focus on nothing, they'll give up in a short amount of time.

But if we explain, we combine quantum physics with neuroscience and neuroendocrinology and psychoneuroimmunology, the mind-body connection, epigenetics, Newtonian physics, electromagnetism, made really easily, right?

And they understand the information and then they have to teach that information to the person next to them.

They have to teach it back to someone.

They have to remind themselves of what they learned.

And if they can remind themselves what they learned, nerve cells that fire together, wire together, right?

And if nothing has left the conjecture,

to superstition, to dogma, and the person understands exactly what they're doing and why they're doing it, the how gets easier.

When the how gets easier, because they understand the what and the why, they assign meaning to the task.

And when they assign meaning to the task, they switch on their prefrontal cortex, you know, the boss of the brain.
