What is the main topic of manifestation discussed in this episode?
Loman loppuminen ja pakkaaminen voi tuntua ikävältä. Jopa niin ikävältä, että laukkujen kasaaminen oven eteen tuntuu hyvältä ajatukselta. Säärebori. Lomia, joiden et soisi loppuvan. When we left for the winter holiday, I thought we would go by car first. But then we went by train and dad drove our car to the inn. We stayed there in the train all night. The sleeping car was really nice, except I wanted to sleep upstairs. But my sister went there when she was older. And in the morning, when I woke up, we were on the same side. Freedom travels on rails. VR. On a joint journey. Welcome back, everyone, to the School of Greatness.
Very excited about our guest. We have the inspiring James Doty in the house. Hey, dude. Good to see you. Pleasure. Thanks for being here. Yeah, sure. I am fascinated by this topic of... manifestation and i'm even more fascinated when you bring neuroscience research and studies that back the power of manifestation your new book mind magic the neuroscience of manifestation and how it changes everything i'm very excited about because you kind of walk us through these different steps on the process of manifestation so first i wanted to ask you a question about the difference between the law of attraction and manifestation are they the same thing or are they different
Well, if you look historically at the law of attraction, it goes back to hermetics, which is this group in the first or second century AD. And there was this belief in the mind, and they used the terminology, the law of attraction. And of course, then there's a guy, I think his name was Phineas Quimby, who then promoted this further. And this was in the 18th century or so. And then of course, or 19th century, and then we had, who was it, Think and Grow Rich? Napoleon Hill. Yes, and sort of continued on that path. So it is this narrative that there is this universal power that when you want something, if you, whatever, use the right methods, you will get it. And it's, of course, been embraced by the a group who sort of promotes woo-woo and pseudoscience.
And that's not to say there's not a kernel of truth, but it's been surrounded by all sorts of other aspects that I think diminish the actual power of it.
So there is power in the law of attraction.
Well, you could say it's synonymous... The manner in which it is used is synonymous with manifestation. The question is, I think more importantly, all of us are manifesting every day, right? Most of us do it very inefficiently. Because everybody sits and says, I want X, Y, or Z, or I wish for this to happen. I think there are techniques you can use that can maximize the potential for you manifesting your intentions. So learning how the brain works and how those techniques work maximize that. So you go, it's like an athlete, as you well know. You know, if you've never been taught something, you try it for the first time, you sort of stumble through it. Yeah. Frankly, most people stumble through life, right?
And then as you practice it or you learn from people who, you know, have the knowledge, then you perfect it. And then you understand the... if you want to say, the neuroscience underpinnings of it and how you make these what we call cognitive brain networks interact. And then you've taken it from sort of, well, it might happen, I thought about it, to there's a high likelihood it will happen.
People talk about the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. What is at play when we start to think about things we want to manifest and actually actualizing them in the physical material world? Is it the conscious mind or the subconscious mind that is driving this manifestation process?
Well, that's an excellent question. So the key is how do you get information which sticks into your subconscious? So just saying I want this, it may or may not work. Because again, we're also distracted by all sorts of stuff. As an example, we have about 10 million bits of information coming in through our sensory organs every second.
10 million?
Million, yes. And we're only able to process on a conscious level 50 to 100.
