WEBVTT 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 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 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
