  1. 0:03Hi, Joshua South here and in today's
  2. 0:05video I'm going to give you my most
  3. 0:07current understanding of exactly how I
  4. 0:11see the mind operating
  5. 0:13and I'm going to give a concrete
  6. 0:16reasoning as to why the system is focus
  7. 0:19operated and that reshaping rewiring and
  8. 0:24healing the mind is a pulsing process.
  9. 0:29It's not something we do one time and
  10. 0:31it's done. It's something that we pulse
  11. 0:34like repetitions. We pulse the idea into
  12. 0:38our mind and the mind has no choice but
  13. 0:42to follow.
  14. 0:47For some reason between friends and
  15. 0:48family, we don't talk about the fact
  16. 0:51that our subconscious mind autonomously
  17. 0:55generates the vast majority of our
  18. 0:58thoughts. It's so important that we
  19. 1:00start with that fundamental truth, that
  20. 1:04knowledge, that understanding about the
  21. 1:06way our mind works.
  22. 1:08Our thoughts are automatically generated
  23. 1:13by the subconscious mind. We react to
  24. 1:16our thoughts. We don't produce our
  25. 1:19thoughts. A good way for you to test
  26. 1:21that is to like stop the video and guess
  27. 1:25the next thought. Like just like go into
  28. 1:28silence for a couple seconds and then
  29. 1:30guess what the next thought's going to
  30. 1:31be.
  31. 1:33And you'll see that you have no freaking
  32. 1:35idea until it appears. And then you see
  33. 1:38it. And then you know what it is. But
  34. 1:41until it appears, you don't even know
  35. 1:43what it is. Once the thought appears,
  36. 1:45then you can make a decision off that
  37. 1:47thought. But the whole system is
  38. 1:49automatically
  39. 1:51generating itself in your thoughts.
  40. 1:54Waking up is becoming aware of that
  41. 1:57feedback loop, of the voice in our head,
  42. 2:00of the inner narrator. We become aware
  43. 2:03of its presence. We become aware that
  44. 2:06we're not the voice in our head. We're
  45. 2:10listening to it. when we identify with
  46. 2:13it, it hurts. It can hurt us really bad.
  47. 2:16If we have anxiety problems, if we have
  48. 2:18trauma, if we have uh doubts, worries,
  49. 2:21disbeliefs, all these different things,
  50. 2:22when we hear those thoughts and we
  51. 2:26believe they are us, they hurt us way
  52. 2:29worse. Way worse. So, we have to start
  53. 2:33with the understanding that the system
  54. 2:36itself is generating itself, right?
  55. 2:39We're plugged into this thing. We wake
  56. 2:41up in the morning, it turns on and it's
  57. 2:42filling our mind full of thoughts. Well,
  58. 2:45the way to operate the system is
  59. 2:49understand that it's focus operated.
  60. 2:53What I mean by that is where we put our
  61. 2:56focus, our mind begins to fill in
  62. 2:59information about what we're focusing
  63. 3:01on. If we focus on work, it starts
  64. 3:04telling us everything about work. If we
  65. 3:06focus on our significant other, it
  66. 3:08starts telling us everything about that
  67. 3:10person. If we focus on our pet, the the
  68. 3:14mind starts talking about our pet,
  69. 3:16starts thinking about our pet, right? So
  70. 3:18the system is focus operated. But
  71. 3:20there's a major major major catch that
  72. 3:24we have to always remind ourselves about
  73. 3:27the mind. The mind is controlling our
  74. 3:31focus.
  75. 3:36So the mind is programmed by our focus
  76. 3:39but the mind controls our focus which is
  77. 3:42the which is the great catch 22 of all
  78. 3:45time. It's creating your thoughts which
  79. 3:47means it's controlling your focus. We
  80. 3:50have to become aware of that because if
  81. 3:52we focus on what it says, we reloop the
  82. 3:56same system and it stays the same,
  83. 3:59right? Because the story is streaming
  84. 4:02into our thoughts. If we focus on it and
  85. 4:05we just uh unconscious like we just are
  86. 4:08asleep, meaning we're the passenger,
  87. 4:11meaning we're following what our
  88. 4:13subconscious mind tells us. Our
  89. 4:14subconscious mind is telling us a story.
  90. 4:16As we focus on that story, we show it
  91. 4:20back to the mind. It records it and
  92. 4:22shows it back to us again and we get
  93. 4:24stuck in a loop. So, we have to control
  94. 4:27our focus.
  95. 4:32Here's an incredibly easy way for you to
  96. 4:35learn how to control your focus. Set an
  97. 4:38alarm on your phone. Three, four, five
  98. 4:42times a day, a little beep goes off. And
  99. 4:44when that little beep goes off, what I
  100. 4:47want you to do is ask yourself what
  101. 4:49you're thinking in that moment. You can
  102. 4:51even write it down so you have a visual
  103. 4:53memory of it. Ask yourself what you're
  104. 4:55thinking in that moment. How long have
  105. 4:57you been thinking about it? And do you
  106. 5:00want to keep thinking about it? Do you
  107. 5:02want to follow that thought?
  108. 5:05What you're thinking about right now? Do
  109. 5:06you want to keep thinking about it?
  110. 5:07That's it. Just just answer that
  111. 5:09question with yourself. When you do
  112. 5:11that, if you ask yourself, what am I
  113. 5:13thinking right now? How long have I been
  114. 5:16thinking it? Do I want to follow that
  115. 5:18thought? You are actively becoming aware
  116. 5:20of the narrator. And you're deciding if
  117. 5:24you want to keep going with that
  118. 5:27unconsciously sto that unconscious story
  119. 5:29that you've been following for however
  120. 5:30long you've been following it, or do you
  121. 5:32want to move into a different place in
  122. 5:34the mind. Every time you move into a
  123. 5:36different place in the mind, you change
  124. 5:38your focus.
  125. 5:40Every time you change your focus, you
  126. 5:42reshape you start to reshape your mind.
  127. 5:45Every single time you do it, you tweak
  128. 5:48the system a little bit. You continually
  129. 5:52pull it off of whatever negative,
  130. 5:55mundane, useless things that we think
  131. 5:57about, right? We catch ourselves
  132. 5:59thinking about something that happened
  133. 6:0010 years ago.
  134. 6:02If we just unconsciously follow the
  135. 6:04pattern and ruminate and continue to
  136. 6:07ruminate, we just stay stuck focusing on
  137. 6:09it. The system captures our focus and
  138. 6:13keeps us stuck in that loop. Waking up
  139. 6:17is becoming aware of the loop and
  140. 6:21deciding for yourself if you want to
  141. 6:23follow it or not.
  142. 6:27If you do this and just change your
  143. 6:31focus over and over and over again, you
  144. 6:34teach the mind what is important to you.
  145. 6:38You show your mind what it's what it
  146. 6:40should focus on. What do you want it to
  147. 6:42focus on?
  148. 6:44Don't just follow what it's telling you
  149. 6:46to focus on. No, you start deciding what
  150. 6:48you want your mind to focus on. Once you
  151. 6:51become aware of that feedback loop and
  152. 6:54you start to guide it, then you can
  153. 6:57start like reshaping the entire system.
  154. 7:01And I've been getting a lot of people
  155. 7:02emailing me, asking me questions about
  156. 7:04how they can uh follow my process step
  157. 7:07by step. I've also been getting a lot of
  158. 7:10emails from people that I I feel really
  159. 7:13bad because I'm trying so hard to keep
  160. 7:15up with all the comments. I can't keep
  161. 7:16up with the comments. um the emails that
  162. 7:19I've been getting, I can't keep up with
  163. 7:20it. What I'm going to do is I'm going to
  164. 7:23build a program. Um and I'm really
  165. 7:26excited about doing it because it's
  166. 7:28going to force me to understand what I'm
  167. 7:29saying more clearly. So, I'm going to
  168. 7:32put together a program, uh a system, a
  169. 7:35method that somebody can follow. I'm
  170. 7:38going to call it the mind art method
  171. 7:41because I think the mind is like a piece
  172. 7:44of art. The way that I see it is
  173. 7:47everyone has their own unique way of
  174. 7:49dealing with their their thoughts. How
  175. 7:52entranced do they become by their
  176. 7:54thoughts? Each person is unique
  177. 7:58approaching the atmosphere of our
  178. 8:00thoughts like an like like a piece of
  179. 8:02energy. Like that's the way I look at
  180. 8:04it. like like this symphony of energy
  181. 8:06inside my mind and and my awareness is
  182. 8:09the conductor
  183. 8:11and I'm guiding these these patterns of
  184. 8:14information and data with my focus.
  185. 8:19I'm coming online controlling my focus
  186. 8:23and organizing what my mind I'm showing
  187. 8:26my mind what to show me. the more that I
  188. 8:29show it love, the more that I, you know,
  189. 8:32do things like in my world, in my life
  190. 8:35where I'm feeling good, I'm taking care
  191. 8:37of myself, I'm taking care of the people
  192. 8:38around me, every time I do that, my mind
  193. 8:41records that energy and shows it back to
  194. 8:43me. So, it's it's really quite simple
  195. 8:46when you understand the concept behind
  196. 8:48it. It's really really quite simple. So,
  197. 8:50I'm going to put together a system. Um,
  198. 8:53and thankfully I've got artificial
  199. 8:55intelligence to help me with all that
  200. 8:56because it would be impossible for me to
  201. 8:59read every book and understand how does
  202. 9:01cognitive behavioral therapy go together
  203. 9:03with what I'm saying. Where does it
  204. 9:05overlap? How is it different? How is
  205. 9:08neural linguistic programming,
  206. 9:09metacognition, mindfulness? I would
  207. 9:11never how does Jung Jod dispensa echer,
  208. 9:15right? like how all did all these great
  209. 9:17speakers what did they say versus what
  210. 9:20I'm saying and how can I put it into uh
  211. 9:23some type of system that can help
  212. 9:25someone become aware of their inner
  213. 9:28narrator
  214. 9:31and gain control of their focus because
  215. 9:34that is literally what this entire thing
  216. 9:36is about what I think it's about
  217. 9:39replacing a thought with another thought
  218. 9:41I mean that works I'm not saying you I
  219. 9:44mean add that to it you know do that
  220. 9:45too, you know, turn thoughts into better
  221. 9:48thoughts or just sit with thoughts, hold
  222. 9:50them and feel the thought, you know,
  223. 9:52just like let the energy move through
  224. 9:53you. Do all that stuff too. But I think
  225. 9:56the main mechanism is our focus because
  226. 9:59I mean a perfect example is imagine
  227. 10:01you're like thinking about this thing
  228. 10:03that you're just that happened 10 years
  229. 10:05ago and you're so wrapped up in the
  230. 10:07story, you're feeling the emotions
  231. 10:10everywhere inside your body and then
  232. 10:12someone walks in the room and starts
  233. 10:13talking to you about work.
  234. 10:1610 seconds later or 20 seconds later,
  235. 10:18that whole story that you were just
  236. 10:19feeling and thinking about is completely
  237. 10:21gone. You didn't do anything to the
  238. 10:25story. Nothing was resolved, but it is
  239. 10:27gone. You don't feel it at all anymore
  240. 10:29because you changed your focus.
  241. 10:31So yes, we have to go to counseling. We
  242. 10:34got to go to therapy. We other otherwise
  243. 10:36those thoughts will just keep repeating
  244. 10:37inside of our minds. We have to do all
  245. 10:40the things. But understanding that our
  246. 10:42mind is focus operated and because we
  247. 10:46can we can grab a hold of our focus.
  248. 10:48Every single person out there I know can
  249. 10:50grab a hold of their focus when they
  250. 10:52want to. So that's what my program
  251. 10:55that's what my system is going to be
  252. 10:56about. If anybody wants to join the beta
  253. 10:58program, you can find my email address

  257. 11:08So, um, hit me up. And that's all I got
  258. 11:12for this video.
