00:00:00
When we lie, our bodies get very weak. Stick your arm out. >> Yeah. >> And hold it up. Don't let me push it
00:00:06
down. Okay. >> Then leave me push down. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Got that. Now, I want you to do
00:00:10
that while lying. And the lie I'd like you to say is, "I love to vomit."
00:00:15
>> I love to vomit. >> Say it. Holding your arm up. >> Yeah. >> Say it.
00:00:20
>> I love to vomit. Why? That's so weird. >> Now, say, "I love fresh air."
00:00:25
>> Um, I love fresh I love fresh air. I'm trying my very hard. Say it again.
00:00:30
>> I love fresh air. >> Now say, I love to vomit. >> I love to vomit. Why is that? That's so
00:00:35
strange. >> This is why polygraph machines work on everybody with psychopaths because the
00:00:40
body lives in reality. The body is honest. Only the mind and only the verbal mind can lie to us and tell us
00:00:49
things um that we we can believe even though they're not true. I love to vomit
00:00:54
is a statement that says it's okay to for me to be feel horrible. But a smaller version of this is I often speak
00:01:02
to groups and I'll stop right in the middle of the speech and say is everyone
00:01:06
comfortable and they'll say yes and no really truly is everyone are you genuinely comfortable are you really
00:01:14
comfortable and they say yes go on with your speech. If you were at home alone right now, how many of you would be in
00:01:21
exactly the position you're in at this moment? Nobody raises a hand. And then I
00:01:26
say, "Why not?" And they have to sit and think for a long time before someone
00:01:33
finally says, "I'm not completely comfortable this way." What concerns me
00:01:39
and should concern you is that 30 seconds ago you swore to me in broad daylight that you were absolutely
00:01:45
comfortable while your you knew you weren't your body knew you weren't comfortable and your mind was doing this
00:01:53
little this little trick where it goes very quickly through this okay in order to listen to speeches we sit in
00:01:59
uncomfortable positions and that's okay because it's worth the benefit we get
00:02:02
out of it so given that I am tolerably comfortable but all you think is I'm comfortable people come and they're in
00:02:08
jobs where they're not comfortable and relationships where they're like sometimes in intense suffering. They
00:02:14
think they're comfortable, but they're getting sick. They're getting physically
00:02:19
sick because they're trying to numb the discomfort. They won't acknowledge when
00:02:25
you know what makes you suffer. You're getting accurate information from your
00:02:30
entire neurological system, what's working for you and what isn't, and what
00:02:35
would be better. What would be more comfortable? Just a little bit.
