Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

Like, go around and just go out into public and look at all these different people.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

Everybody's making money a different way.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And that's one way to kind of expand your perception and be like, wow, yeah.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

there are an infinite different number of ways for money to come to you.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And I remember I had, it was from this hypnosis track and it was like, money comes to me in expected and unexpected ways.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And I started to open my mind to maybe you don't have to always work so hard for it.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

Maybe it can come to you and

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

unexpected ways.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And maybe my energy has a lot to do with it.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And I remember one morning after waking up to one of those tracks, going outside and finding like a $20 bill on the railroad tracks outside of my apartment and being like, whoa, maybe this is actually the way that it is.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And then over time, kind of building that belief muscle to where now these are new stripes that are familiar to my brain and this is what I see.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And then kind of on that predictive processing note that you were

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

kind of getting at there is, yeah, so your brain isn't just constructing based on the information.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

It actually holds a model of the world, right, based on your past.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And then it uses that model to predict your present and your future, right?

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And so it's not necessarily using your senses to construct reality right now.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

It's using your senses to kind of update the model and the prediction that it's already made about your experience right now.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And so...

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

Yeah, I mean, I do kind of refer to the brain as a prediction machine and that it's always predicting what's going to happen through predictive processing.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And so when you start to update these predictions, then you kind of start through, you know, training your perception, everything that I was just talking about, then you actually start to experience reality differently.
