Bend Time and Space to Free Your Mind - w/ Peter Crone

Introduction

In this section, Ed Mylett introduces his guest, Peter Crone, and sets the stage for their conversation.

Introducing Peter Crone

• Peter Crone is a mind architect who has worked with professional athletes and executives.

• The goal of the conversation is to help people reach their ultimate potential and happiness.

Changing Our Relationship to Time

In this section, Peter Crone discusses how our perception of time impacts our emotions and experiences.

The Illusion of Past and Future

• Past and future are constructs in language that do not actually exist.

• Our brain creates a narrative based on past tense or future-based language.

• Anxiety and fear are based on our thoughts about a presumed future that hasn't happened yet.

Pressure as Perception

• Pressure is based on our own perception of a future event that hasn't happened yet.

• People's concerns about the virus are rooted in their mortality.

Transformational Change

• When we change our relationship to time, we change our relationship to life.

• The only thing we're ever up against is our own thought processes.

Understanding Pressure and Changing Your Relationship to Time

In this section, the speaker discusses how pressure impacts our physiology and behavior. He also explains how changing our relationship to time can help us perform better under pressure.

The Impact of Pressure on Physiology and Behavior

• When we experience pressure, it changes our physiology by altering our heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure.

• This altered state makes it difficult for us to execute tasks that we would normally be able to do with ease.

• By understanding how the mind informs physiology, we can learn to manage pressure more effectively.

Changing Your Relationship to Time

• To change your relationship to time, you must first recognize the pattern of projecting into the future and creating unnecessary pressure.

• Recognize that this pattern is a piece of code based in dialogue that was accumulated over time and has created an identity that defines you.

• Reverse engineer this pattern by identifying the external manifestation (e.g., financial problems or relationship issues), which is just a symptom of the underlying issue.

• The first step in changing your relationship to time is having awareness of the pattern.

The Power of Subconscious Mind

In this section, the speaker explains why his work is powerful and how changing the code of someone's subconscious mind can lead to different results.

The Power of Changing Subconscious Mind

• Changing the code of someone's subconscious mind leads to different results.

• Everyone experiences fear, worry, and anxiety because their mind creates a perception of a future that hasn't happened yet.

• Most people are trying to avoid a bad future that hasn't happened yet.

• Survival is what drives people. If you have a thought that jeopardizes your perception of survival, you have no choice but to do whatever you feel you have to do in order to mitigate it.

Empowerment through Understanding

In this section, the speaker talks about how understanding the relationship between psychological programming and physiological dis-ease can empower individuals.

Sovereignty over Behaviors

• Understanding the relationship between psychological programming and physiological dis-ease gives people sovereignty over their behaviors.

• People come out of the cage of their own mind versus constantly trying to fix circumstance which is exhausting and futile.

Childhood Trauma and Mental Breakthrough

In this section, the speaker discusses childhood trauma and how mental breakthrough can transform an individual's heart.

Childhood Trauma

• Many people have a past or an impression they have a past that is imperfect somehow. They're overcoming something they think that those circumstances that happened to them were somehow imperfect.

• Oftentimes, childhood trauma runs like a video in the back of people's minds and doesn't serve them.

Mental Breakthrough

• The speaker's favorite quote is "What happened happened and couldn't have happened any other way because it didn't exactly."

• When people get that, the experience is incredibly liberating.

• Mental breakthrough transforms an individual's heart.

Finding Freedom in Acceptance

In this section, the speaker talks about his personal experience of losing both parents at a young age and how finding harmony and acceptance with that has given him freedom. He also discusses how people are fundamentally chasing a feeling rather than material possessions.

Reconciling Your History

• People think they can change their future, but that's an illusion because whatever is going to happen will always happen.

• The speaker changed his narrative about his father's death, which changed his history. Looking at our history and narratives associated with it is the access to true power.

• Everyone attracts people and circumstances to reveal where they're not free. We're not victims of circumstance but beneficiaries of it.

Psychological Relationship with Time

• If it's not life-threatening, it's just ego-threatening. The default of the human mind tends to be from fear.

• Most people speculate towards a worst-case scenario due to their perception of the future.

• The speaker helped an NBA player improve his free throw average by changing his psychological relationship with time.

Personal Experience of Loss

In this section, the speaker talks about losing both parents at a young age and how he found harmony and acceptance with that experience.

Losing Both Parents

• The speaker was orphaned by the age of 17 when his mother died of cancer and father was lost in a fatal accident.

• Although losing both parents wasn't ideal, finding harmony and acceptance with that experience gave him freedom.

Chasing a Feeling

In this section, the speaker discusses how people are fundamentally chasing a feeling rather than material possessions.

The Illusion of Material Possessions

• People think they want more money, a better body, or the right partner, but they're fundamentally chasing a feeling.

• Giving someone 10 million dollars won't make them happy because it's the idea of what something will give you that people are after.

Unpacking Emotional Events

In this section, the speaker talks about disassociating personal experience from an event and looking at it objectively to recognize sovereignty and spirituality.

Disassociating Personal Experience from an Event

• To be able to disassociate personal experience from an event is where one recognizes their sovereignty and deepest spirituality.

• PTSD is when people have an emotional attachment to an event.

Fear and Perception of Future

In this section, the speaker talks about fear being the default of the human mind and how most people speculate towards a worst-case scenario due to their perception of the future.

Fear as Default Mindset

• Fear is the default mindset for most people.

• Most people speculate towards a worst-case scenario due to their perception of the future.

The Power of the Present Moment

In this section, the speaker discusses how past hurt informs future fear and how it can lead to sustaining and perpetuating the very thing one is trying to avoid. He also talks about the power of being in the present moment and enjoying it.

Past Hurt Informs Future Fear

• Past hurt informs future fear.

• The mind is designed to predict and protect, so it naturally looks out for the repetition of something that hurt or was disappointing.

• Unknowingly, individuals sustain and perpetuate the very thing they're trying to avoid.

The Power of Being in the Present Moment

• Even as a grown man who helps people with stress and anxiety, projected future thoughts can create stress for oneself.

• Being present in the moment allows one to enjoy life more fully.

• There's a false notion that there's a right choice or wrong choice when making decisions. Both choices could be good choices.

• People often feel like they're not enough. However, being human is by design a relative experience based on relationships.

Understanding Personal Development

In this section, the speaker talks about personal development and how there's a disease of feeling like one is not enough. He also discusses how personal development isn't about who's right or wrong but rather both sides being right.

Feeling Like One Is Not Enough

• Feeling like one is not enough is a disease that many people have.

• Being human is based on relationships, which is why relationships are usually the number one conversation that anyone has.

Personal Development

• Personal development isn't about who's right or wrong but rather both sides being right.

• The speaker believes that everyone is perfect and there's nothing wrong with them.

Understanding Duality and Conditioning

In this section, the speaker discusses the concept of duality and how it relates to human conditioning. He explains that there is no such thing as wrong or right in nature, but rather these are subjective narratives created by humans. The speaker emphasizes that people are a product of their conditioning and should be viewed with compassion.

Duality and Conditioning

• There is no such thing as wrong or right in nature; these are subjective narratives created by humans.

• People are a product of their conditioning, which shapes their behavior and choices.

• It's important to view people with compassion and understand that they are doing the best they can within the level of their current awareness.

• By recognizing conditioning as a factor in human behavior, we can move away from dualistic thinking and start to see people more holistically.

The Relationship Between Wealth and Happiness

In this section, the speaker discusses the relationship between wealth and happiness. He argues that having money does not necessarily lead to happiness, but rather people who are unhappy may seek out wealth as a coping mechanism.

Wealth and Happiness

• Having money does not necessarily lead to happiness; many wealthy people may still be unhappy.

• People who are unhappy may seek out wealth as a coping mechanism to fill an internal void.

• The belief that one is not enough is an epidemic that contributes to unhappiness regardless of financial status.

• To change patterns of behavior related to seeking wealth for happiness, individuals must first recognize their own sense of enoughness.

Understanding the Manifestation of Internal Expression

In this section, the speaker discusses how a person's internal expression of not feeling enough can manifest externally in different ways.

The Impact of Childhood Experiences on External Representation

• A person who did not experience love or receive a good education may end up on the streets as an alcoholic or drug addict.

• People who grow up in wealthy communities with an abundance of materialism may also be driven by the same internal expression of not feeling enough.

• The way people respond to this deep-seated belief can vary greatly, leading to vastly different external representations.

Overcoming Subconscious Patterns

• Successful people may still be driven by feelings of inadequacy due to their childhood experiences.

• Some individuals use their desire to prove others wrong as a motivator for success, but they fear losing their drive if they let go of this pattern.

• There are other strategies and mindsets that can lead to even more powerful and peaceful abundance in life.

Using Metaphors to Understand Energy Expression

In this section, the speaker uses metaphors related to physiology and energy expression to explain how different approaches can impact success.

Anaerobic vs. Aerobic Approaches

• Urgent movements that cause lactic acid buildup represent anaerobic energy expression.

• Endurance athletes who appeal to the aerobic system within our physiology represent aerobic energy expression.

• Both approaches have their place, and it is important to recognize when each is appropriate.

Recognizing Natural Responses

• A chip on one's shoulder can be a natural response to frustration and can lead to success.

• However, it is important to recognize when this energy buildup becomes deleterious and not harmonious.

Understanding the Fight or Flight Response

In this section, the speaker discusses how people with Hashimoto's or shocked adrenals are constantly pulling from a system that doesn't have enough resources. He explains that fight or flight response is only to be used when attending to something urgent.

The NBA Player and Fight or Flight

• The speaker talks about an NBA player who was in a perpetual state of fight or flight due to his history.

• The player found joy and freedom in revisiting his childlike enthusiasm for basketball.

• People are imbalanced by pulling from limited resources anaerobically physiologically psychologically fight or flight dumping adrenaline and cortisol into their system.

Personal Experience

• The speaker shares his personal experience of spending the first 35-40 years of his life pulling from depleted resources of frustration, anger, overcoming, and proving himself to others.

Definition of Peace

• Peter Crone defines peace as being synonymous with success.

• True peace is discovered when we are in complete harmony with the way everything is at the moment.

• Peace is a profound surrender and acceptance of reality as it is, without resistance to circumstances.

Finding Peace

• Peace can be found by recognizing that there is nothing wrong with your circumstance other than your conversation about it.

• Although circumstances may not be easy or pleasant, they are not wrong; they are just the way they are.
