Our thoughts and our feelings affect all aspects of life, beyond both and. a. Intention and rhythms b. Cause and effect c. Time and space d. Matter and energy 12. With repeated daily efforts, as the Observer, you can use your mind to collapse quantum particles and organize a vast number of subatomic waves of probability into a desired physical event called. a. Physics b. An experience c. Quantum superimposition d. The Higgs Boson phenomenon 13. Since the side effect of transparency is true joy, more energy, and freedom of expression, any thought that is connected to an ego drive would lower the elevated feeling within you. 14. According to the epigenetic model, genes are the blueprint of life and they determine our destiny. 15. Matter and energy are completely interchangeable. 16. The biological model of change involves transforming the familiar past to a new future. 17. Meditation allows us to change our brains, bodies, and state of being.

3 18. Layer by layer when you memorize emotions you liberate energy. 19. Almost all of what we demonstrate starts with a thought. 20. When we are in the moment we can move beyond space and time and thereby create a new future in the present. 21. When you think from your past memories, you can create new experiences as well as unexpected outcomes. 22. Is it true that although we think in the present, most of the time our bodies actually live in the past? 23. The Quantum Law states: if you maintain a modified state of mind and body independent of the external environment and the body s emotional needs are greater than time, something should show up differently in your world. 24. Human beings trigger stress in the body by just thought alone. 25. The quantum field is a field of information and energy that exists beyond time and space. 26. A state of Being is created by how you think and how you feel. 27. Meditating is the process of quieting the mind, body and eliminating the outside environment, to become aware solely of your unconscious thoughts and feelings. 28. The feedback you experience in your life is the result of matching the state of being/energy of your creative process to the state of being/energy of your demonstrative process.

4 29. The process of change requires unlearning first, then learning. 30. To understand that neurological change can take place in the absence of physical interactions in the environment is crucial to our success in breaking the habit of being ourselves. 31. From a quantum standpoint, we have to create a different state of being as an observer and generate a new electromagnetic signature. 32. A habit is all of the following: when the body becomes the mind; a redundant automatic behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition; an implicit memory; a hardwired unconscious program of thought. 33. A new state of being creates a new personality, a new personality produces a new personal reality. 34. It is possible for our thoughts to make us sick. 35. Collapsing the wave function or the observer effect can be described as a particle of matter approaching the speed of light. 36. Mental rehearsal does all of the following: changes the brain to make it look like the experience has already happened; creates a new level of mind neurologically; fires and wires new circuits in new ways; changes the brain by thinking differently. 37. It is possible to go from thinking straight to being without physically doing anything. 38. In Dispenza s model of The Gap, most people create an identity by indentifying with all of the elements that make up the outside environment in order to hide or conceal who they really are in their internal environment. 39. Unconsciously skilled means you just do it without having to place a great deal of conscious thought or attention on the activity. To become unconsciously skilled in something involves learning knowledge, getting instruction, paying attention, and repeating the skill over and over.

5 40. When the same people and things in our lives create the same emotions and the feeling we are trying to make go away no longer changes, we look for new people and things, or try going to new places, in an attempt to change how we feel emotionally. 41. It is impossible to be addicted to our thoughts. 42. Thoughts are the language of the body and feelings are the language of the brain. 43. According to some of the most recent experiments in neuroscience, mental rehearsal creates changes in the brain, but not in the body % of all diseases today stem from single gene disorders. 45. Learning is making new synaptic connections. 46. We can make thought more real than anything else by using the mammalian brain. 47. The definition of meditation in Tibetan means to become unfamiliar with. 48. It is true that there is an aspect of us that is unconscious. 49. The purpose of meditation is to engage the analytical mind. 50. Wisdom is accumulated knowledge that has been gained through repeated experience and has now become innate.

6 51. Quantum experiments have demonstrated that electrons exist separately, in a limited array of possibilities or probabilities, in a very visible field of energy. 52. Coherent waves are more powerful when they are randomly out of phase. 53. According to Dispenza s model, thoughts are magnetic and feelings are electric. 54. In July of 2012 Dr. Leonard Leibovici proved that the intention from the power of prayer only effects future events. 55. As a result of near death experiences, people perceive new possibilities and better ways to be in any opportunity. Having seen themselves from a truly objective point of view, they clearly know what they want to change. 56. It is possible to signal the gene ahead of the actual experience. 57. When you are in a state of gratitude, you transmit a signal into the quantum field that an event has already occurred. 58. Newtonian Physics can be defined as the science of the unpredictable. 59. If you create a new future by using the thoughts and feelings of your past and present self, then any new future that you create will actually be just more of your past. 60. According to Neuroscience, mind is the brain in action. 61. Another name for explicit memories is declarative memories.
