if I were to tell you what I know about
this this YouTube channel would be pink
is like a super boost to your immune
system the key thing is understanding
what are you doing the technique is not
what you're doing what you're doing is
using a tool it has this beautiful
transformative effect that's something
everyone can do even when you're in
lockdown Mark Twain said there are liars
damned liars and statistics well what
does that mean it means that you can do
anything with statistics and manipulate
them if you're clever and I'm not trying
to say there's a nefarious purpose here
I'm just saying that people who try to
speak with more certainty than they
should about something that we have a
fraction of 1% of the public that's been
tested on something that's this
contagious is it sort of you just got to
take it with a grain of salt
honestly which is why they're assuming
that the reason we're all on lockdown or
social distancing is that they're
assuming everyone could as potentially
has it and doesn't know it because they
don't have enough test kits the reagents
have been faulty the CDC first batch of
test kits in this country didn't work I
mean it has been the most epic
governmental failure
that I've seen in my lifetime as a
medical doctor and that includes the
horror of the 80s and 90s with HIV
crisis but that's as I said that's water
under the bridge what do we do now and
that's really kind of what I want to now
kind of segue into I certainly think we
are in for some rough stuff for several
months or a year only because I think
this pandemic is going to take that long
but run its course and we're probably
gonna unless we're very lucky and in the
summer it dies down and doesn't
reimburse
but we don't know that yet we don't know
how this is going to behave you can't
predict that this will do that just
those other viruses have so the fact is
it could be a pretty rough period for a
year or more at what my larger concern
is is that the havoc it will play in
society in terms of the economy and
unemployment what I'm hoping is that you
will be people we ought to get back to
normal in a few months but I think if we
do people should be prepared in every
way everything I mean by that it's a
real preparation that there could be a
second wave that could even be more
virulent than this first one so you know
you hope for the best you plan for the
worst of what all emergency doctors do
and so that's just sort of my motto you
you hope for the best and plan for the
worst everyone listening I don't want to
be alarmist but I'm just gonna tell you
that there's a great deal more known
about this and I think that that's kind
of water under the bridge
ie where did this come from how did it
emerge etc and so on we have to deal
with the hand we've been dealt and it's
out in the community now the
consequences of it are going to be
devastating from a public health point
of view but I think from a societal
point of view with the numbers of people
who are laid off unemployment possibly
going up above what it wasn't a great
depression and I think that's a
possibility may have a more devastating
effect socially civilizational how we
live and our livelihoods and
what-have-you but that's where we are
and I don't control the edicts from the
federal or state government I'm here to
tell you as a doctor what the reality of
this is and how you can respond to it
but also to respond to it in a way that
keeps yourself not panicked at all and
in a positive state of mind so that you
stay strong and you stay healthy and
your immune system is is enhanced and as
I said exercise is key to that good diet
is key to that
avoiding you know bad drug use and and
and smoking cigarettes in particular I
think the deadliest drug there is out
there by far is cigarettes you know I
mean
two thousand people died of overdoses of
other drugs in this country every year
but we lose about half a million people
from cigarette smoking every year in
this country and United States around
the world China it's even worse it's
China is now the worst users of the most
abundant users of cigarettes because we
got everyone in the world addicted
American tobacco companies got everyone
addicted to the damn horrible stuff so
be very careful about that and I think
the other thing is from my perspective
before I was a medical doctor some
people in the 73 74 or 75 and what I
learned was that there's this amazing
immune response and strengthening of the
immune system that happens when you go
into deep meditation which is actually
more powerful than sleep so the
meditative state and connecting to this
expansive aspect of ourselves it's
conscious that actually is really
strengthening to ourselves physically as
well as mentally psychologically
spiritually so the meditative faculty
the ability to sit and be quiet and
meditate and go into a deep state of
relaxation and connect to that aspect of
awareness that is beyond your
individuality which is actually infinite
that's what Samadhi is is when you have
a very deep meditation but even some
sense of that where you become calm and
centered and feel relaxed and expanded
that is like a super boost to your
immune system and it also creates field
coherence with the people were with but
all over the world and you know this is
one of the things that I everybody will
see on April 7th when Close Encounters
of the fifth kind comes out we talk
about what back then look sort of
comically was called the Maharishi
effect because what they did is they
think we we sent people into cities and
localities where 1% of the poppy
elation were experienced meditators who
knew how to meditate and go into deep
quiet meditation and when they did that
let's say the city had you know two
hundred thousand people so that means
you'd have two thousand meditators in
the city synced up meditating deep
meditations and prolongs what they found
was that hospital admissions went down
violence went down shootings crimes of
all kinds went down there was a field
coherence that went out through that
whole city even though the other 99% of
the city didn't know those people were
in the city they didn't even know they
were there so it wasn't because there
was social media saying oh they're all
these people meditating in that cool no
they were not there this was back before
there was social media and these studies
have been done in other settings and
proven that there is this beautiful
field coherence where things become
aligned and coherent very positive when
more than one person and groups of
people meditate together in a certain
number and it turns out the threshold
number for that that seemed to be very
effective was about one percent not it's
not like a polling booth
you don't need 51% to win the election
this is one percent you win the election
because you then create this harmonic
coherent field that is affecting
everyone in your society we can overcome
it because there's no point panicking
and fear because the power of
consciousness in the mind and people
working collectively is much more
powerful than a virus and much more
powerful than any weapon that any people
have ever created and that we can
transform the human future but also kind
of save ourselves by being connected to
each other in this beautiful meditative
state I think after the film comes out
and we have this new app and people can
get trained and practice there is there
is something to practicing meditation it
takes some time to get your vibe going
with
but it's not difficult do that on a
regular basis it can do breathing
exercises as well before or after you do
the meditation state with a mantra or a
little prayer or whatever you like using
the key thing is understanding what are
you doing the technique is not what
you're doing what you're doing is using
a tool to allow yourself to settle down
and become centered and calm where you
feel connected to this great ocean of
unbounded mind and when you have that
experience and it begins to grow subtly
sometimes at first it is so liberating
and it's also very enhancing to your
immune system your body your life your
inner guidance your happiness
and take care of yourself really learn
to meditate and take this time we are
not having to dash around in your day to
day life to practice deep meditation and
do it with other people if you're with
people already or you can do it in a way
that's with social distancing with
people whether it's electronically or
you know people that you know or that
you know in your area where you keep the
social distancing and sit together in
quiet meditation and do this you can do
it anywhere we can do it in your living
room if the weather is bad you do it in
your backyard you do it anywhere that
will really strengthen our civilization
but it will strengthen your immune
system as I talked about before because
when you go into these deep meditative
States it's a very healing I mean
amazing the healing thing to do but it
also strengthens your whole mind body
complex so that you are more resistant
to diseases but if you get the virus
maybe the effect would be much much less
