And they were using visualization as a mental and emotional rehearsal. Now, we didn't know this then in the late 60s, mid 60s. But what we do know now is when I visualize the exact same brain cells that are firing when I visualize fire, if I'm actually doing the thing.

So I brought this little prop to share with you and everybody else. It's the human brain, right? It's all mapped out with the stem and the lobes, et cetera. And here's what we've discovered, right? Going back in time, we had a brain. It's kind of like we had a piece of meat. We had no idea what the piece of meat consists of.

But with technology, we've been able to do imaging of the brain when we're thinking, feeling, looking at something that scares us or something erotic that excites us. So we can see circuits turning on or off. We can see blood flow. We can see more into the human brain now than ever before.

And so one of the things that the scientists have discovered is our brain is made up, and I like to give people a visual. Imagine that you are the conductor and have an orchestra of about 10 people or a band. And your job, regardless of whether you can play any music or not or sing, is to make sure that the members of your orchestra or band, they're doing their thing and they're playing in sync.

Now, imagine that one part of your band is always complaining about, well, what if she doesn't show up? And what if that's too expensive? And what if we can't make our flight? And that person on your team is actually very, very valuable because they're always thinking about what if negative happens. Like, what if you fail? What if you're embarrassed, ashamed, ridiculed, judged, rejected?

What if you lose money? What if you lose time? What if she says no? What if you're abandoned? What if negative? Well, we know that... Einstein is not doing that. You know, Einstein's always going, wow, the way I can achieve this is by doing this and by doing that. And I can envision this and I can use my imagination.
