Tickets are going fast, so don't wait. Head to livenation.com to get your tickets. Now that's livenation.com.
Sean Webb
At the point that you look down and you understand there's no fear. There's no fear. And there's no need for the emotional reaction. There's a circuit, your right ventral lateral prefrontal cortex, your medial prefrontal cortex that sends a signal back to your limbic system, says, shut off the fear. You look down, you see, oh, my God. It's just. It's a hose. It's not a sting you fear about. That coil immediately turns off and does not have to come back up. It is resolved, et cetera.
Host
All right, got Sean Webb here, guys. Fellow Sean on the show today. Thanks for coming on, man.
Sean Webb
Hey, thanks for having me.
Host
Yeah.
Sponsor
You come out from the Monroe Institute?
Sean Webb
No, but I'm going there in a week. We have a special little event we're doing for a bunch of invitees, I guess.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
To experience some meditation and some hemisync vibrations in your ears. And the idea is, you know, you put one, like, 100 hertz in one ear and 4 hertz in the. Or 104 in the other here, and then you've got a 4 hertz differential that your brain then has to do something with. And so then the idea is that that carrier signal opens up things in your mind that aren't usually active, and so you can experience different things and get into deeper consciousness. Kind of cool stuff.
Host
Interesting. I'm very excited, man.
Sean Webb
Yeah, it's cool stuff.
Host
Yeah. I've been researching remote viewing, astral projection for years, but have never been able to get results.
Sean Webb
Well, you know, with technology assistance, it's easier to do. And I got to tell you, as a person who, you know, this isn't my first rodeo as far as consciousness expansion goes. Like, I went into the middle of the Amazon jungle with Navy SEALs and drank ayahuasca and, you know, experienced 5 Meo, etc. Technology can assist with expanding your consciousness if you're not into the psychedelics type of path.
Host
Yeah, yeah.
Sean Webb
To where, if you're looking for something natural that you can stimulate, you know, use an outside source, but stimulate what's within you naturally.
Host
Right.
Sean Webb
You can do some amazing stuff.
Host
And that might be the mainstream approach, because the FDA or someone just denied MDMA research yesterday or something.
Sean Webb
Big loss, Big, big loss for Maps. They were really pushing the science and they did a good job on the science that proves MDA MDMA on first dose, first therapeutic dose has like a 70 some odd percentage improvement for PTSD.
Host
Wow, that's 5%.
Sean Webb
Yeah. And then they're talking about removing people from the list of disability folks with ptsd. You're talking about saving billions of dollars because most of these folks are on a plan that's going to be, you know, managing it for the rest of their life.
Host
Pharmaceuticals.
Sean Webb
Yeah. And so if you don't, if you have something that can cure it, why not let them have it? And then you're going to save a bunch of money down the road with, you know, obviously from a fiscal standpoint, but from a you human humanitarian standpoint, you're taking care of people, you're helping them, helping them grow and, and heal. I mean, that's, that's pretty critical. But, you know, there's this big fear, I guess, in the psychedelic, anti psychedelic community that's just like, well, you know, if we allow these people to walk around and eat these mushrooms on the ground or, or take these other compounds that help see people on the other side of the planet as your brother, then it's going to be harder to get people to, you know, pick up a gun and go shoot him.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
And I get it. You know, national defense is certainly something that we need. We need borders and we need to protect people from bad actors, etc. But you know, at the same time, it's like, come on, guys, you know, speed a little more reasonable. You know, if you're talking about asking people to lay down their life and then you're not giving them the things to be able to heal from the actions that they took after you asked them to, that's a little ridiculous.
Host
Absolutely. I just saw a clip yesterday of Aaron Rodgers who said if every politician ate some psychedelics.
Sean Webb
Yeah.
Host
No wars, Right.
Sean Webb
Yeah, I agree.
Host
Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
Sean Webb
We put a lot more thought into it before launching a bunch of missiles.
Host
Yeah. There's something that it does to your mind. It just makes you more calm and at peace with things.
Sean Webb
Yeah. Well, I think it connects you into what is right. There's this big dichotomy right now between classical physics and, and quantum physics. And the quantum side is the one that's fully inclusive and all connected all over the universe. Right. The field is just one thing. And, um, there's this big argument right now between the two. But you know, when you connect into that field, like, and there's this Orcor theory of consciousness where, you know, the reason you have consciousness is because of these little microtubules in our cells, in our neurons and they interact, has been proven in lab environment that they do interact with quantum field environment, vibration. And so then the question becomes, all right, so that's an interactive system. How much of our consciousness comes from the non local, much of our consciousness are we tuning into? That could be considered spiritual or etc, but that really is housed within the non locality of the quantum fields. And so, you know, that becomes a question of okay, so what does psychedelics do? Because it acts on the HD2A receptors, which are highly correlated with consciousness in our brain. Well, is that opening up new avenues within the complexity of our brain, our neural structure, or is it helping us tune into the signal a little louder? Right, right. That we then start to see things that we weren't able to see.

Host
LinkedIn the place to be previously because.
Sean Webb
The signal to noise ratios a Little bit better.
Host
And some people will say that's psychic abilities. Right?
Sean Webb
So yeah, well that's, that's certainly the, the basis for the ability to have psychic powers and have psychic abilities is to be, be able to tap into that non local portion of consciousness. So great brand new book. I just got a advanced copy of Federico Fujin's new book, Irreducible, which explains the difference between the classical physics model and the quantum physics model and where consciousness can't fit over here and does fit over here and does so from a, like this guy invented the microchip, he invented the capacitive to screens we use on our phones. He invented the first AI chip which everybody laughed at originally and now is the only chip in use. He's a super genius, right. But he talks about consciousness and whatnot. Tapping into that connected space is this new exploration that I believe humanity needs to dive into a little deeper because a lot of positive things come out.
Host
Of it for sure. And there's very little I feel like we know about consciousness right now.
Sean Webb
Yeah, hugely. I mean we don't even have a standard definition. Like most people will start with the definition of what is consciousness and then they'll take it from a human perspective like, oh well, our consciousness is our quality. It's our ability to smell a rose and have it be what it is for us in that moment. And then, you know, the other side of the fence is, you know, my definition of consciousness is more the intelligence within the fields that the information, you know, you have a large bit of information, things change with that information and then an intelligent force acts upon that, whether that's to be collapsed, a wave function that's required for you to look at the moon or distant stars or whatever. But there's an intelligence within there. And that's what I call consciousness.
Host
Got it.
Sean Webb
Is the all encompassing. Everything is one intelligence and acting motivation to take action within the fields itself. That's what I call consciousness. Totally different than, you know, rose and how it smells to you. So we got to come up with a standard definition.
Host
Yeah, for sure.
Sean Webb
Because a lot of the physicists and the folks who say consciousness is fundamental to the universe, which is something I believe those folks start from this definition over here. It's not oh, what a rose smells like to me. Right. So we got to come up with a good definition. Everybody's got to work from.
Host
And is it true most of our decisions are from the subconscious, not the conscious?
Sean Webb
Yeah, most definitely. Like the first book that I read, if you want to understand how your Mind works, your human mind works to be able to take control of the variables and change them in a way that'll change your life. There are two variables that your subconscious uses to make all of the emotional decisions that you, you will make from the time of your birth to the time of your death versus your expectation and or preference about something that's associated with your sense of self. You have to care about something, you have to be. An idea within your mind has to be associated with. This is my life, this is my existence. You know, it starts with your body and when a baseball comes flying at your head, our limbic system automatically ducks us out of the way as a function of that survival of self mechanism. Well then these, these other ideas of self like your name and your family members and your job and what you do and you know, your likes and dislikes, etc, all then get expectation or preference set to okay, everything on this list has to remain at status quo or increase in value or we're going to have a problem. And then your perception comes in of the things that are going on around you in the world, including your thoughts and emotions, things like that, that can become perceptions. And then there these two are balanced and measured against each other. If there is a congruency, then you have a positive emotion that comes from your subconscious. If it's imbalanced, then you have a negative emotion that comes from your subconscious. And there's a bunch of rules that are associated with whether it's fear or anger or sadness or worry, regret, etc. But basically, if you understand those variables within your mind, there's this really cool hardwire hack that comes about that's there because it's a survival mechanism. Okay. So if you're take a sidebar out of the corner of your eye, you look down, you see the coil on the ground, you immediately think it's a snake. Your limbic system assumes, oh my gosh, I got to get away. It starts prepping you for fight or flight, dumps your adrenaline into your blood system, et cetera, and your thinking brain is shut off. At that point you look down, you see it's a hose. All of a sudden the life sustaining activity that your emotions were trying to create for you, which is distance between you and the snake, is now wasted energy.
Host
Wow.
Sean Webb
So you look down, you see it's a snake. So there has to be a circuit within your brain to be able to shut off your negativity and your negative reaction. Otherwise you're not going to have your energy. When you walk down 100 yards and a bear walks out of the woods in front of you or whatever. And you really need to run or not run, make, make yourself as big as possible. But you get the point.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
The. So at the point that you look down and you understand there's no fear. There's no fear and there's no need for the emotional reaction. There's a circuit in your right ventral lateral prefrontal cortex and your medial prefrontal cortex that sends a signal back to your limbic system says, shut off the fear. And immediately it happens. Like, you look down, you see, oh my God, it's a, it's a hose, it's not a snake. And the fear about that coil immediately turns off and does not have to come back up. It is resolved. Etc. So there's a hack that, that you know, and this is science that goes back to Lieberman and UCLA in 2007. He proved that when you put a cognitive understanding to your emotional understanding, your limbic system will down regulate your negative. Okay. So if you're having a problem with anger or fear or sadness or worry, regret, etc, if you identify the two variables that we just talked about, your expectation and preference and your perception of that individual emotion.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
That turns down your negative stuff in real time.
Host
Really?
Sean Webb
Yeah. To the point that, you know, like a whole bunch of people are saying this is the latest, greatest hack of your mind that gets you back in control of your mind. Because when you start to lose control is when you start to lose 10 to 20 IQ points, your prefrontal cortex gets shut off.
Host
Wow.
Sean Webb
Your panel, your, your panic kicks in. You have a bunch of, you know, norepinephrine, adrenaline and cortisol to process in those moments. And in, even in that moment of your fear shutting off with the hose, you still got to metabolize all of those, you know, neurotransmitters that are juicing your system at that point. So it'll take a while, but the quicker you get to that, the more relief you're going to have immediately. And the same is true. Just like that hose with that email that you got or the headline that you just read in your newsfeed that set you off and is going to, you know, be. Make you pissed off to where your next conversation with your significant others can not go so well. Whatever. It is right, to be able to take control of your mind is to be able to take control of your life.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
So when you understand the two variables within what I call the equation of emotion, those two variables are your subconscious Ruining your life.
Host
And it happens to everyone.
Sean Webb
Yeah, and it does happen to absolutely everyone. Now the good news is when you put your focus on the two variables that created your strife, it shuts off because of the hack. It puts a cognitive understanding to your emotional understanding and allows you to down regulate the. A scientific word for turning your negative stuff down. And it's so effective that the, the Navy SEAL guys that are, who not friends of mine said that this concept in this approach is better than anything that the Pentagon or Navy Special Warfare had for.
Host
Holy crap.
Sean Webb
To. Yeah. To help manage their own.
Host
So ptsd, depression, anxiety.
Sean Webb
Yeah, all really helpful for that kind of stuff. Because the point that you can look at your own mind and understand how your mind is working, that's the moment that you're thrown into meta awareness. You can take control of your mind. Like if you're on the roller coaster, you're not in control of anything. Right. You're simply a victim of what your brain is doing in front of you.
Host
Right.
Sean Webb
And then you're having to deal with the emotions and whatnot and what the brain shuts off and turns on and based on your reactions, etc. But at the moment that you can take control of your mind and look at your mind, all of a sudden, that's that moment you have control to change what your mind is doing.
Host
Wow.
Sean Webb
Yeah. And so, you know, at the point that you have full control of your mind, you have full control of your life because you have full control of your reactions, you have full control of your analysis and your decisions moving forward.
Host
That's so exciting. Because it was previously thought your subconscious, you couldn't control it.
Sean Webb
Right. And that's not true at all. And that's why this, you know, this. I call it mind hacking happiness. Because the existing wiring is already there. You just got to push the buttons in a certain way to get them to work to your advantage. And then when you do, it's just, dude, that's massive.
Host
Because this could end all fights, arguments.
Sean Webb
Yeah, ultimately, ultimately, 500 years from now, long after my death, this will be what helps create the conditions for world peace. Because the Dalai Lama said there is no world peace without inner peace. And that's completely true. Because the point that you lose the motivation to lob bombs across borders to solve disputes about logistics or politics or money or whatever, and you can come to the negotiating table all of a sudden, you know, that changes the game substantially on international relations and being able to feed people logistically and, you know, cure hunger, cure starvation, cure poverty. It's not until the point that you have control over your defensive self mechanism within your mind, which is what ruins everything. No disrespect to Hitchens, but in chapter nine of my red book, Mind Hacking Happiness, I explained why he got off the intellectual bus one stop too early to try to blame everything on religion. It's not religion that is the problem. It is the attachment to the ideas that you want to defend, which is the core functionality under the religious. You know, it happens with everything happens with religion, it happens with politics. It happens with like, you know, you go through your Facebook feed and see all the arguments that everybody has over the various things that they're really attached to. That's the problem. That's the process within our mind that we have to get by.
Host
Right.
Sean Webb
If we can get by that process of attaching to ideas that we must defend at all costs, to include killing other human beings who have ideas different to us, that will be the path to world peace. Once we get beyond that functionality.
Host
Yeah. These labels can be dangerous because it could close you off to ideas.
Sean Webb
Hugely. Hugely.
Host
Yeah. If you label yourself as a Democrat, I mean, you're just gonna agree with a lot of their policies.
Sean Webb
Yeah, exactly. And so, you know, I'm, I, I'm apolitical, but I, when I vote, I vote and I make the decision based on the planks. But. Right. I don't go. Okay, so this is going to be my party and whatever you guys say is fine with me.
Host
You know, it's like, it seems antiquated.
Sean Webb
Right, right, yeah. So it's like. Okay, no. What do you think about this? I'm asking them the questions.
Host
Yeah. You mentioned energy levels earlier. So does every human have the same energy level?
Sean Webb
No. I mean, we're all victims of our physiology. Right. And so, you know, as much as I am a proponent of the idea that says your consciousness is non local and you're really a spiritual energy out here and you're just tuning into a portion of that at the same time. We are slaves to the capabilities of our physiology. Like we're having a conversation a little while ago. Your brain is your consciousness, I don't think comes from your brain, it comes through your brain, but your brain is a, is a critical portion of that process to where if it's screwed up or if you're not taking care of it, or if you put a bullet through it or something like that, you're gonna have a bad time experiencing consciousness and living a human life. And so the variances in physiology certainly are going to affect of our energy levels overall in our human form. Right. But I think, you know, you can certainly manage those to a large degree.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
Doing the right stuff, you know, exercising and getting good diet, etc.
Host
I loved what you said about remote viewing on Sean Ryan show because you said there's proof of it working now, which there's been a lot of skeptics in that space.
Sean Webb
Yeah. You know, the coolest bit of science, I put it in the latest book that I wrote, the Human Mind Owner's Manual. There's this amazing set of studies that everybody needs to look at because the, the people, the skeptics who are panicking and disappointing are the only people that are looking at it. And we really need to look at it because it's amazing set of studies. Let me explain it real quick so you guys can be impressed. So there was this having a study in psychology at all, in medicine or psychology has a huge hurdle. And the thing you got to get over is the subjectivity of the individuals and in question of being studied. Right. So you've got a whole bunch of people who are very unique individuals based on their physiology. So the problem is, how do you say that a result means any one thing in a group of tons of unique individuals? So the best study that they came up with, the best structure for a study for psychology, came when they wanted to just test the effects of priming on the human brain. And so what that was is they got a group of people and they gave them, they had them sit at a computer. And this is a great model because the question is, you know, what are the researchers hinting at with these people? You know, are they guessing at these answers? You know, that type of thing? You want to take all of the gotchas out of the study structure, right? So you start with a group of folks and you say, okay, I'm going to say in front of a cube computer, that computer is going to show you a little picture. It's out of a standardized database, but this, in this case, we'll say it's a little kitty. So it's a little kitten. And you've got to select cute or ugly after that. And so they put these people through this cycle that the computer randomly selects, selects a picture and then randomly selects the cuter ugly based on, you know, the, the words associated with the picture. And then the person clicks and it measures down to the millisecond, how fast they click. So then they have a control group, then they send a second group through and they say, okay, here's what we're going to do, we're going to give you the same cycle with the exact same data this control group got. But before this data set, we're going to give you a 1/30 of a second flash of one of the two words that we're going to give you later. So if it's a kitty and it's cute or ugly, they're going to flash cute 1/30 of a second beforehand and then measure if that affects you or not in your speed of ability to select cute or ugly at the end. And what they found is it did wow. With the computer automatically randomizing everything. They figured out that priming a human being to, you know, if you flash cute, you can select cute faster. If you flash ugly beforehand 1/30 of a second, then it takes you longer to select cute. Or if you're going to select ugly, it's quicker for you. So that affects the human brain. And this was absolute awesome science because the computer was randomizing everything and it was just a computer measuring a human being. So Darrell Bam at Cornell said, okay, well, I want to test for precognition. So what he did is he said, okay, we're going to use the same exact model, except we're going to do one thing. We're going to take the primer at 1/30 of a second. And the reason that's important is because your subconscious will pick it up, but our conscious awareness can't pick it up. It's why movies are 1 24th of a second, 1 23rd of a second, you see the choppiness 1 24th of a second, it's smooth motion within the movie. Yeah. So 1/30 of a second, you normally don't see. Your subconscious picks everything up. So that. Which is why you are delayed or accelerated in your ability to pick your distractor based on the primer that they put before the the experiment. So the pre, the precognition folks said, okay, we're going to do the same exact thing, except we're going to take the primer from the beginning of the cycle and we're going to put it at the end. So functionally. And they still had the control group, so they went through without the primers. But so functionally, they were asking the second group to say, okay, we're going to give you the picture the kitty, then we're going to show you cute or ugly. Then after you make your selection and after the computer has recorded your answer, it's Randomly going to select to flash either cute or ugly at the end of the cycle. And so the, the classical physics folks would completely expect. Okay, there's no way that this will have any statistical output at all based on the fact that you're asking them to take an action and then you're providing them distractors here and then you're flashing something after the fact. It's not going to have any result at all. Except it did. It absolutely did. And so in the first study, they showed that in the same way that the primer was moved to beginning of the cycle, it affected the ability for a person to select cute or ugly in milliseconds based on the primer being shown after the fact and being selected after the fact after they took their. Their action.
Host
Whoa.
Sean Webb
Yeah. So, and, but, you know, one study doesn't make a great result, so they replicated it. 90 different studies in 33 different labs in 14 different countries showed exactly the same result.
Host
Holy crap.
Sean Webb
Yeah. So then this is beyond six sigma math, which is the gold standard in science, for this is a phenomenon, this is no longer a theory. This is absolute.
Host
Wow.
Sean Webb
And so what they've proven. There's two things they've proven. One potential is that humans have precognitive ability in our brains because they're wired into the quantum field through microtubules, potentially can reach beyond space time barriers and look into the future and see what that distractor is going to be. Because it. Our subconscious controls, you know, how fast do we click the. The distractor. But the flash at the end of the cycle affected their ability to select cute or ugly in the time in which they were given.
Host
Insane.
Sean Webb
Yeah. So crazy. So our brain looks into the future and. Or our brain affects a computer's selection of correct, you know, selecting the randomly the correct distractor based on its measurement of whether we were delayed or not. I think that's a little more iffy than our brain actually looks into the future rather than. Although the PAIR lab proved that random number generators are affected by human consciousness.
Host
Really?
Sean Webb
Yeah. You know, the PAIR lab at Princeton University, the Global Consciousness project, Roger Nelson is amazing at the science that they put together to show that random number generators that they have all over the planet will hiccup when major events occur. Like 9, 11. It. The random number generators stopped acting randomly. Princess Diana's death, they stopped acting randomly. Yeah. There's a whole bunch of correlations of major global events affecting these random number generators. At which point you start to think, okay, well what's going on?
Host
Yeah. What's your theory for that?
Sean Webb
Well, global consciousness, you know, consciousness being non local. Right. We're all connected to everything, even though our individual experiences are individual experiences through our physiology. We're all connected from a conscious perspective through the non locality of the indivisibility of the fields. Right. So if your consciousness is coming from the indivisibility of the fields, you're connected to absolutely everything across the universe, which is what a lot of world religions say, that we're connected to absolutely everything, that everything comes from the, the void. So, you know, at that point you've got connectivity into your consciousness and then, you know, you've got all, all sorts of amazing things that occur then. I mean, you're talking about the subset of data structures within a non local field. You're talking about the potential for, you know, psychics to look into the future or past in the future and be able to discern what's going on in different locations. Such as the remote viewing stuff that I talked about on Sean ryan Meeting Joe McMonagle was amazing. He's a guy who outed an entire nuclear sub program in Russia from his office in Virginia. And he's got the paperwork at president level records to prove it. You know, it's like he was reporting to the National Security Council right at that point when he outed the nuclear sub program. And he had a huge public fight with Robert Gates who called it, you know, a lucky guy and said, you know, this is total fantasy. And he was the only, like Joe McMonagle was the only guy who had nailed it to say, you know, here's what they're working on in that big fancy building that you're, you're really worried about. And, and it was literally the Hunt for Red October sub. It was, you know, the sub that appears in that movie is a plot point, is the sub that he outed. And he outed very specific conditions of the sub being 150% of what the largest sub in the world was. The time, the fact that it had canted launch tubes, slanted launch tube, so it could fire on the run, which means that's a problem for, you know, losing 1200 cities in 20 minutes. It had a special magneto or gravitational propulsion drive which is still officially classified, I think, but it's out. And, and he nailed it all from his office in Virginia. And he was the only one. Everybody else in the, in the room, the National Security Council with all the gray beards from all the consulting shops said, oh, it's probably a troop carrier. And they're going to move it over to the sea. And. And Joe was like, no, they're going to. There's going to be a canal and they're going to, you know, drop it in the water. The building. And four months between the. His prediction of the canal and everything, he. They built the canal next to the building and dropped the boat into the water. And the National Reconnaissance Office sent a satellite over that building. Back when we didn't have 100% coverage on the planet. Yeah, they sent out satellites by satellite over the. The building. And he nailed it. Because after Gates saw the report, he said, total fantasy. And Joe's like, well, your total fantasy is going to launch in 112 days. National Consensus Office and a satellite over 114 days and found a sub, the Hunt for Red October subs sitting next to the building bays, doors wide open. So that it's like the greatest intelligence gathering operation in the history of a military launch. In history. Yeah, because the satellite got views of the reactor rods being loaded in, missiles being loaded in, and got the schematics of the boat, you know, from looking to it. And. And he nailed it. Like, they, they found the boat and they had pictures of it two days into loading, you know, missile.
Host
Incredible.
Sean Webb
Yeah.
Host
And he was able to see that with remote viewing.
Sean Webb
He saw with remote viewing from his house months before it happened.
Host
What are the chances he did that rather than had a spy on the other side?
Sean Webb
Yeah, so that's the big. That's the big question that people would like to raise with that one anecdotal story. But the fact is he's got hundreds of stories like, he's got hundreds of stories, including one where he was called in for a missing girl. And he was trying to tell the sheriff, you need to look here, you need to look here, you need to look here. And they found her within 30 minutes of her death. She had frozen to death.
Host
Holy crap.
Sean Webb
After they had let him take a dog team in was the chair was like, finally. All right, whatever. Because his original reaction was, you're a psychic. Yeah, go, go yourself. You know, I don't listen to psychics. Right. Because of his ego or whatever. And the girl died because of it. And then on the other side of it, he's got stories of, you know, like this other little boy went missing in his county, and the sheriff called him in the middle of the night, and he was here in Las Vegas. As a matter of fact, that night. Phone rang, he woke up and he immediately told him he looked like. Took like 5 seconds, closed his eyes and said, all right, tell your deputy to go here to this place on this road, stop, get out of his car, and at 318 degrees on his compass, walk, you know, 160 steps or whatever it is, stop, call the boy's name. And he will respond.
Host
What?
Sean Webb
Yeah. Which is like, you know this hell a lot better than, oh, I think he's near a body of water. Right. It's like this guy is like the real deal, being able to tap into non local consciousness and identify where. Because they sent that sheriff there and the story was they rang his phone, woke him up. He was upset at that, gave him the instructions, and then the sheriff called 10 minutes later and said, well, my deputy's out there. And he just got back from training at state capital. That said, children who are under 10 don't walk uphill and 318 on his compass walks straight up a hill. So what do you want us to do? And he's like, do what I told you. Boom. Slams the phone down, right? Fifteen minutes later they call. And he's, he's much calmer now. He's like, hello, did you find him? Yes, Joe, we did. And literally the, the officer went to the location, walked up the steps, stopped, called the boy's name out. And the boy was sleeping like less than 100ft away on the back porch of a cabin that was like a rental cabin or whatever, vacant. There was a couch on the back porch, there was a light on. And his five year old kid said, my dad said if I ever got lost, to walk to the nearest light and stay there.
Host
Wow.
Sean Webb
And so he walked up that hill against, you know, the statistical probability laid on the back porch on the couch. And so these are stories that he has.
Host
Yeah, in his documented too, which is cool.
Sean Webb
I mean, you're talking about he's been part of a black program for the last, you know, number of decades that always got funding year after year after. It was never like, oh no, 10 years, you're good. It was, well, let's see your results this year. You know, have you fallen off the capabilities wagon? You know, what's going on? And so they fund it year after year after year after year. Which means, well, if you, if you believe that some of government cannot waste money, at least they were getting some type of return before they were, you know, handing out millions of more dollars to keep a black project going. And when you talk to the SEALs and the CIA guys and whatnot, they still use remote viewing to this. Really? Oh, yeah.
Host
So it's probably known everywhere now at this point then.
Sean Webb
Yeah.
Host
CIA mastered it.
Sean Webb
Every major. I think every major country in the world has psychics working for it. And no one will admit it.
Host
Yeah, no one wants to.
Sean Webb
Right, right, exactly. Because, I mean, Joe says the greatest, he says, you know, no one wants to be caught dead standing next to a psychic.
Host
Yeah, right.
Sean Webb
It's like your credibility is in question now because you're hanging around with psychics.
Host
You know, so if everyone can predict the future, can it even be edited or how does that work?
Sean Webb
That's a good question. I mean, I don't know if we know we have the answers to those.
Host
Questions because there's theories about you. You're born with a death date, right?
Sean Webb
Yeah. I mean, can you adjust that? I don't know. What's the limitations of your. Like, you know, because officially we have control or we have a say in how these wave functions collapse. Like we're sitting at a solid table. There's nothing really here. The only thing that really exists here is the resistance of the energy from our hands passing through this table. Other than that, there's.
Host
So this doesn't exist.
Sean Webb
It's all dead space. Yeah. But we have to be able to interact with that and affect that by collapsing the wave functions and making this table real for us to not pass our hands through. Right. And that's literally how quantum mechanics works. And every experiment that we've done proves that. So at the point that you're tapped into that, you know, what amazing other stuff can you do regarding breaking space time barriers?
Host
Yeah, I know you've studied various religions and philosophies and you also connected with God during one of your meditations. I'd love to hear about that.
Sean Webb
Yeah. Boy, that was crazy. That was. That's what started the whole thing. Because I do not have the qualifications to write all the books that I wrote.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
Except for. And understand. Let me back up and qualify this. Every moment of discovery that a human being ever has comes from within them. And Einstein even said this. He goes, thinking has little to do on the road to discovery. You ponder a problem, you think about it, but then you sit with it and you let your body machinate on it for a while. And then at some point, the, the, the solution just comes to you.
Host
Interesting.
Sean Webb
Comes from through you. Comes from you. And he goes, that's. He was. You have little to do with that.
Host
Wow. I thought you think of everything, but when you put it like that, that makes a lot of sense.
Sean Webb
Yeah. So it always comes from your subconscious awareness Right. And even like this, the science shows that our conscious awareness is the dumb one. We're the dumb one at the top. Like as we go down deeper into our, into our subconscious, we get smarter as we go along. They did a study where they gave a one control group a very complex problem and say, okay, we're going to give you this problem of, you know, having to value things and list them, etc, and they gave them the full time to do that and they measured the results and then they took the second group and they said, okay, we're going to give you the same exact problem. And then before they were even allowed to start working on it, they said, okay, we're going to give you this number sequencing problem where you just got to put these numbers in order real simple. And they said, okay, so do that first and then we're, then we'll work on the second problem.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
So they give them the same problem as the first group, but the trick was they gave him the problem and then they gave him the number sequencing problem. As soon as you were done with the number sequencing problem, they said okay, what's the answer to the first question? And I was like, I don't see, you know, whatever, who knows? Well, the brain scans showed that the area of the brain that was working on the complex problem was still firing. Like this group and this group completely congruent.
Host
Wow.
Sean Webb
But this group also had the number sequencing portion of their brain working. And so they're focused awareness was on the number sequencing. Their subconscious awareness was working on the complex problem. Interesting. The answers that these guys gave when they thought they were guessing was better than the answer that gave when they were thinking about it the whole time.
Host
Holy crap.
Sean Webb
So your subconscious awareness, and this is one of the tons of examples, your subconscious awareness is a heck of a lot smarter than you are at your top waking awareness. So this, the deeper we go into consciousness, the smarter we are. Well, think about, you know, if we're tied into non local consciousness and the intelligence of the universe, where is the intelligence going to come from? It's going to come through the mechanism that we have that ties into us and brought forth from underneath to the level. And one of the great examples of that is slime molds. Right. Sorry for the left turn, but let's talk about slime molds for a second. They're a one celled amoeba. They come together in millions of numbers to then take on different roles within the, the slime mold. So they've got basically the same exact DNA and they're all supposed to do the same exact thing. But when they come together to create a slime mold, they start taking on different functions within the organism. And they become organs within the slime mold. 1% of them become cops, which was kind of a, an immune system. It works around the slime mold, looking for pathogens, swallows them up, and then drops out of the bottom of the slime mold self sacrificing at which is altruism at a cellular level to benefit the the colony. So it dies, taking the pathogen with it. Basically throws itself on a grenade at a cellular level. Well, they did a test on these things, the slime mold. When you put piles of oatmeal in it that are in congruency with the population centers In Japan, within 24 hours, the slime mold built this little tube system to ferry down its nutrients of the oatmeal to the other portion of the slime mold. In 24 hours, it had built the exact rail system that engineers and with computers had built years previous to ship the population centers around Japan. But at the same time, this slime mold made it more efficient and would have saved them millions of dollars had they followed this plan.
Host
Whoa.
Sean Webb
Versus the engineers with the end with the computers.
Host
That's crazy.
Sean Webb
Where does this intelligence come from to be able to do that? Right? It does not come from the complex system like you can. You know, the classical model can be argued all day long that, oh, complex system, emergent properties, yada, yada, yada. It's like, I understand that math down to the, its core functionalities. It doesn't cover the, the evidence, right? So you've got that argument that it could come from the complex emergent property of the system, but the other side of it is it comes from below, right? It comes from the intelligence of consciousness itself to be able to figure out how to build a perfect rail system as compared to the population centers in Japan. Because you're talking about dipping into infinite intelligence like the. When you're talking about a field, imagine infinity and having that be all of the information in the universe is in that one field. And so when you tap into any portion of that, you're tapping into all of it. Maybe there's only certain things that you can understand. Like, you know, this thing when I had the experience of deep meditation and I tapped into this, right? And sorry, we're just now getting question. When you tap into that, you're tapping into an intelligence field that is just flabbergastingly immensive and almost immobilizing. To a certain extent, it's almost too much to be able to fathom and process. So that's what I tapped into to write these three books that I wrote that are now, you know, endorsements of multiple Navy SEALs and millionaires and billionaires and yada yada. They're all saying, holy, this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. That's awesome. Love that. I didn't create any of that. I dipped into the intelligence that allowed me to bring that forth and become a channel for that information. I have no expertise in this area at all. I didn't go to school for, you know, multiple dozens of years or. Or get a PhD or multiple PhDs or whatever. I went through a consciousness expansion experience that started with a meditative experience that then, within about 45 to 60 minutes, dumped all of the stuff into my brain that I've been spewing out for the last 20 years.
Host
Wow.
Sean Webb
And it's the best stuff that's available for the management of the human mind according to a bunch of folks who are experts in this field. Okay. So I started out that meditation with a little prayer. It's just like, you know, if there's more intelligence out there, you know, and I was. I thought I had a good relationship with God or whatever. I was like, let me know. I want to know more. And about 20 minutes into that meditation, I was able to cease my conscious thought completely, which was the first time I'd ever experienced that moment. I read a book about DT Suzuki, Introduction to Zen, and his. He conveyed that his idea was that Zen meditation is to cease all conscious thought and then hear what exists just beyond that. So I was like, all right, well, that's my basic idea. That's what I'm gonna do. I went into this meditation. I was going to force my brain not to have any conscious thought. It took me about 20 minutes to get there. And then from there, that's when I had this huge consciousness expansion experience where, like, to sum it up, literally, I was. I felt like I was gone for thousands of years. Time dilation was. Was crazy. Like, I lived a completely other different human life in between. Forgot that I was a human being named Sean, was gone so long. So this wasn't, you know, where I had agency and I was experiencing all these things. It's like I was the spiritual existence that is beyond Shawn.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
And experienced a ton of stuff. Understand how it understood how everything in the universe worked. That's where I got all this information to come back with to say, okay, here's here's all the information that I was able to glean which is all, you know, what all the other ancient, you know, religious masters that we adhere to did, is they tapped into that and they just started spewing it, you know. And at that point, I spent so long away that I forgot I was human. Was actually disappointed to learn that I was coming back to be Sean Webb again. I was like, come on, seriously, you're gonna like give me all this stuff and then dump me back in this thing? Like, no. And so that's when I got to take back, you know, how the human mind work. I was like, I gotta, I gotta do something. And so after having all the experience of understanding the universe, seeing it, seeing it all in its multi dimensionality, running it for a little bit because it was like kind of God loves a great sense of humor. Like, I gotta take a leak. You want to run this thing for a while? It was, it was awesome, but it was perfect. After all that, after that whole experience of, you know, thousands of years of being away, seemingly which all happened within like 45 to minutes to an hour within my physical existence, I learned, okay, time to come back. You're gonna be a human. And I was like, no, this sucks. You can't show me all this stuff and then not give me anything to, you know, glean some positive momentum out of this. And I go, all right, what do you want? And I was like, well, let's get this pain and suffering thing knocked out. And they're like, haha, you want the first? And you know, is that it was at that point that I got like visions of Jesus and Buddha and Muhammad and all these folks who like, okay, I gave this to people before, but you know, look what we, look what happened. You know, we screwed it up along the way. What are you going to do? So I went through those notes of how the human mind works. Our pain and suffering comes to be. Was able to put it into a few books.
Host
Wow. And can't wait to read those, man.
Sean Webb
Yeah. And so it's, I mean, it's a proof that. Okay, so for me that was proof. When I got that stuff, it's like, okay, you're gonna have a sign, you know, a spiritual revelation, you know, what does that mean? You know, and how are you any different from the next guy who thinks he knows everything and yada yada? Well, we ran the science of the mind hacking happiness stuff through some higher institutions of learning and they confirmed all the stuff that the model had.
Host
Whoa.
Sean Webb
It completed, which for me was the holy moment. That's crazy because I was like, okay, I got this vision. Who knows if it's right? I was just another guy with a theory. Yeah. And then UCLA and USC and MIT and UCSD and these other institutions, Harvard, started to prove that the portions of the model that I put together of how the human mind works were absolutely correct.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
And that's when I was like, okay, so this is interesting to me because, okay, where does intelligence come from? Where does discovery come from? Where does creation come from? What are the motivating mechanisms to help us get our minds into those spaces? Where did this chunk of information come from that finished Aristotle's work? Basically, that's what I was told by one of the MIT professors. She's like, yeah, this, this basically finishes what Aristotle started.
Host
Holy crap.
Sean Webb
And I was like, that's kind of cool.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
So, but then I was a, you know, for me, a lifelong learner. I was like, okay, what does that mean regarding our tapping into intelligence? What does that mean for our tapping into discovery of new stuff? Where does the intelligence of the universe store that stuff? Where does it come from? How did it come through my head to be the first of anyone to be able to put this stuff out in a useful fashion? How am I that idiot? Right? So then it becomes a question of, okay, so let's dive down into the consciousness rabbit hole and start discovering things there. And oh man, there's a whole loaded to suburb down here in consciousness expansion land. And tapping into infinite intelligence is just one of the benefits that can occur. And, you know, you can do other things that are amazing and awesome. So that experience started this whole journey. It was okay. I don't know whether this meditation crap is any good or not. I don't know whether this, you know, expansion of consciousness thing is going to come about or be anything big. What is all this about? Etc. That turned into holy. I just got delivered the most awesome of awesome packages because now my life is amazing. I don't have a problem with any of the negativity that I used to struggle with.
Host
Right.
Sean Webb
My life has, has meaning now. Everyone that I talk to that I explained this stuff to has a better life after that. It's really cool. Because once you like the FedEx logo, this is Marketing 101. When you see the FedEx logo, you never see the arrow in the middle. But if you've gone through a marketing class, one of the first things I'll teach is between the capital letter E and the lower letter X. Go look at it right now. You'll see a perfect white arrow in between the two. Once you see that arrow, you can never unsee.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
Facts, Right? So this is the same type of thing. Once you learn how your mind works, you can never unsee it. And then that helps you take control of it for the rest of your life. It's like you can't even unsee it. It's you. If you want to self sabotage, you can't do it because of the hardwired hack we talked about a little while ago. That'll turn your negative off. If you're looking at the variables that this epiphany brought forth, it will definitely turn off your negativity and improve your life.
Host
Wow.
Sean Webb
Which is amazing.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
Where did that come from? Why was that delivered? What am I supposed to do with it? Right. It helps a bunch of people, which is awesome because I love helping people. But at the same time, it's like, where do they come from? How do we get the world's smartest people in, you know, in existence tapping into the same stuff that they can decode more of it? You know, like, why did you dump this on, you know, this village idiot?
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
It's like, why don't you grab a Nobel Prize winner, you know, and maybe we start to need to start dosing Nobel Prize winners with the psychedelics. Although I think a lot of them have already secretly dosed and, you know, a number of them say that their Nobels came from their psych.
Host
I see that.
Sean Webb
Yeah. Yeah. Carrie Mullis was one of those. So. Yeah. So I mean, it's like, where does that come from? It's like, let's explore that a little more. Because if, when we do from an individual perspective, like, if you're to start exploring your consciousness and expanding your consciousness and doing things that break out of your small box that your mind has created for you, all of a sudden your life gets a little better because you start to understand things from a 50,000 foot view that you didn't understand before. And now things start to make sense to you. And you understand the decisions that you can make in very key moments in your life. And you're not being influenced by your emotional reactivity as much, which is amazing.
Host
It's a powerful skill.
Sean Webb
Yeah, huge.
Host
Can't wait.
Sean Webb
I mean, Emotional Intelligence, Harvard Business Review, they're on point magazine, they never say anything definitive. Right. Harvard Business Review is the magazine that puts out, or the. The publishing agency that puts out studies that are connected with how corporations work better in the world.
Host
Right.
Sean Webb
And they never say Anything definitive. But on the COVID of their on point magazine they came out with the conclusion, emotional intelligence is the essential ingredient to success. Where if you understand emotional intelligence, you can work with people better, you can understand their problems better, you can solve collectively better, etc. And the statistics are definitive. When you have a higher emotional intelligence, you sell more as a salesperson, you connect with your people more as marketing executives. You're, you have lower amounts of interpersonal issues with work, your job satisfaction goes through the roof. And all this stuff is awesome for the bottom line of companies because it costs them less in having to re outfit people with, you know, brand new laptops and whatnot, job turnover, etc. And reduce the amount that they have to spend on training, etc. Emotional intelligence is what it's all about. You can raise your emotional intelligence, you're a better parent, you're a better human being, you're a better worker, you're making more money. I mean all this stuff has been proven.
Host
Absolutely.
Sean Webb
Yeah.
Host
You also touched on telepathy in one of your books, right?
Sean Webb
Yeah, yeah. So we talk about in the human mind owners Random. The first couple of books that I put out are the here's how your brain works. The first book is here's the practical science led perspective on how to turn down your negativity. That was mind hacking habit is volume 12 is the left turn into here's the science behind consciousness expansion and the phenomenon of enlightenment which is now becoming a real topic of study. And then this one over here is the cool stuff. This is the human mind manual which covers some of this stuff in the first two books, but then also says here's the left turns that we need to start talking about with remote viewing and with non human telepathy. I mean one of the biggest trends right now is people talking about telepathic communications between non human intelligence and humans.
Host
I keep seeing that on social media.
Sean Webb
Yeah, it's huge. I mean Jeremy Corbell says, you know, a lot of the guys who are approaching him now says, say that the craft skin, the, the UAP's skin acts in a, an interactive and intelligent fashion.
Host
Whoa. I mean that's skin.
Sean Webb
Yeah, the skin of the craft.
Host
Holy crap.
Sean Webb
Yeah. And so, you know, that becomes a question of, you know, if you're interacting with a human intelligence and it's reacting to your thoughts and putting thoughts, putting ideas in your mind, that's some pretty, pretty, pretty cool, interesting phenomena.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
But when you start talking about it from a scientific perspective of, okay, so the science is suggesting that we are tapped into the non local quantum mechanics of the universe directly as the study at the beginning of our podcast episode here discussed. Okay, so what other things can occur? Well, of course, telepathy can occur. And of course, a race of individuals with physiology that is more advanced than ours probably has a better grasp on that than we do. And maybe there are some things that we used to be able to do that we've since atrophied because we just stopped doing them over time because we are all, you know, scientists. Shows we are just literally wired into absolutely everything.
Host
Wow.
Sean Webb
I mean, there's. There's no classical model that can explain all the phenomenon that we experience as human beings. Not true with quantum mechanics. It is the holistic, completely connected model that is very representative of our experience. Right. When we're talking about the ability to scientifically prove and look into the future. The ability to. Maybe not completely scientifically proven because it's N plus 1, but jungle monocle is pretty good at being able to look anywhere on the planet for anybody and anything and being correct about it most of the time. That's pretty compelling evidence. Like, even though it's n equals 1. Okay, so Superman doesn't exist because you only saw one Superman. Okay, well, that. That logic doesn't quite wash. So, yeah, there's. There's certainly some conversations that need to be had about non human intelligence and telepathy and communications, because that's. That's amazing. Amazing, interesting stuff.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
That would forward our relationship with any other races if they exist. Right.
Host
Absolutely.
Sean Webb
I haven't physically seen a extraterrestrial in front of me shaking my hand yet.
Host
You saw that?
Sean Webb
No, not yet.
Host
Oh.
Sean Webb
Although we did get a flyby one night. We were just kind of doing it as a goof, you know, hang around with some Navy seals. And we're out fishing one night in Lake Hartwell in Georgia, and we're like, you know, we heard about the CE5 thing that Greer was doing.
Host
Yep.
Sean Webb
And so my buddy Doug's like, I want to do that, because I think you can do that. All right, cool. So we get fishing, and we get to the portion of the night where we want to call by a ET flyby. And it took about three minutes.
Host
That's it.
Sean Webb
And we got two ships screaming across the sky at Mach 20. And we're talking about having professional observers. Right. We're Talking about Navy SEALs who are trained to glance, and then they know what's in the room. We all compared notes after this, and it was exactly the same. The first Light came across the sky about Mach 20, did a right angle turn at speed. So complete right angle then went into a complete semicircle, came out of it at another right angle, went over here and then disappeared. The second light almost on cue because I was like, I was, I was wondering if it was a time dilation of the first light, the second lights coming across. Bob, Mach 20 hits the first point where the, the first light did the 90, comes off at a similarly acute angle but then starts doing a freaking corkscrew in the sky. Like that's crazy impossible. Like, you know, no ethereal craft is, is going to be able to do that. Nothing we have can do that. It's doing a corks drawn a corkscrew in the sky and then, and then races over to the same spot that the other one disappeared and pops out of existence. So we did that just for, you know, shits and giggles. We didn't think we were going to have anything.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
And within like three minutes we got a flyby. And that wasn't the last time that we did some stuff like that. Like it's a lot easier to. Once you connect non locally with a different intelligence. It's easier to do so over time more as you do it. So practice it. If you're interested, if you want to call for some, you know, UFO flybys or whatever, you got to start practicing it and then you know, you'll, you'll maybe get some get lucky or get a win or whatever and then all of a sudden that connection is a little stronger and you know, you can start interacting and knowing for sure within your consciousness what's real and what's not real.
Host
What do you think these aliens think of us?
Sean Webb
Not that intelligent.
Sponsor
We're just ants, right?
Sean Webb
I mean, yeah. When you're talking about multi dimensionality, right. You're talking about creatures that live at a, you know, quote unquote vibration that's lower than you. We're talking about consciousness vibration. Not any type of physics vibration. But yeah, I mean, you know, you love them. Like if you have an open, open heart. I, I like, I see animals, I love them. I don't expect the world from them. I don't expect them to come up with the next plan for world peace. Right. But at the same time I care for them, I love them. I'm interested in, I want to see how they live and function and work and what their dynamics are. So very. I, I believe from my personal interactions and what I feel from, you know, just that space is that we get A positive vibe. But at the same time it's like almost a pity.
Host
Yeah, yeah.
Sean Webb
It's like, man, you guys, you guys.
Host
Are really dumb and do you think it's a natural progression? Do you think we'll become aliens one day? That's just a higher level of consciousness.
Sean Webb
Sure. I mean, you know the, if you look at the patterns of the universe. Right. The patterns of the universe are entropy takes everything apart and consciousness puts everything together. No one has an excellent explanation for why complex atoms become organic molecules. Molecules. And then all of a sudden organic molecules start taking pro life actions and singing opera a couple billion years later. Right. So I think ultimately, you know, we're going to have a. It's going to be an interesting process for evolution, which I think is an intelligent process. I don't think it's an accidental process. Like historically the classical physics forces as, oh, it's an accidental process like you know, randomness just made this mutation and then these people survived because that mutation was beneficial, etc. I don't think that's completely the case. I think that evolution has an intelligent functionality within it to change to within an environment that is always changing. So that's the functionality of evolution is to change the physiology based on the, the environment changing. So that's a pro social, pro life activity. I think it's more intelligent and I think there's evidence that, you know, you see rat populations across, across the globe learning the same talent in two different groups and they couldn't have ever had any connection.
Host
Right.
Sean Webb
Except through non local consciousness. Right. So I think ultimately, yeah, we're going to continue to evolve. We're going to continue to start connecting things and understanding things. And you know, as the past evolution has shown, physiology changes.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
Over time. It never stays the same. It's the big argument with the climate stuff. It's like, okay, it's changing. Absolutely. It's changing. What's causing it? We don't know. We got a pretty good guess that, you know, some portions of atomic structure have an effect on it, but at the same time we're not 100% sure.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
Right. So I certainly think that our evolution is going to continue moving forward and what that becomes, I think is going to be amazing. It's going to be interesting to see.
Host
And that's a good segue into AI actually because I know you've done a lot of research there.
Sean Webb
Yeah, yeah. We're working on adding some emotional intelligence to artificial intelligence, which ironically when you read the third book, you'll hear the spy Story of how the. I believe I won't, I won't say the. I had a conversation with the NSA about wouldn't it be amazing if computers were able to understand human emotions and be able to predict human emotions? Because then we're talking about prediction of terror watch lists, we're talking about the prediction of crime, we're talking about the prediction of things that can happen. And they were very interested in that. And then we had a conversation over a few days. They were asking a bunch of questions and then ultimately it was like, okay, well we want to turn this into a emotional influence engine that can, we can start to schedule runs on banks and coups in other countries. And I'm the type of person who's like, okay, I believe in lifting people up.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
And you know, there's this other side of the camp that says, okay, if we suppress everybody else, we're going to win by default. I don't subscribe to that philosophy. And so ultimately I didn't move to work on that project with them. But then a bunch of shenanigans happened over the next number of months, in the next number of years to the point that I was actually dosed and interrogated or attempted to be interrogated. Yeah, they sent it, they sent somebody from my past in my little town to move from, you know, oh, I just want to move down to your little town and discuss consciousness. All right, so that whole spy story is told in the book. But yeah, so there for a while there, the intelligence agencies of the world wanted the algorithms that I'd put together to because creating emotional intelligence for computers. Basically the, a technological mind reading capability. I had to hide it. I was going to destroy it. And the problem was the LLMs now are loaded into the AIs to the point, well, you have to understand the amount of language, all the language on the Internet just about is loaded into these LLMs. Well what had created all this language? The human mind had created all this language. So now what you've given the AI is a back reverse map to map the human psyche.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
Including all emotions, etc. And if you understand how emotions work in a human being, now you can start to emotionally manipulate those humans. And you're talking about, you know, fear being the number one control mechanism of the masses. If you can put people into a state of fear sphere, you're going to be able to control them without having to worry about who's in geopolitical control of that country or that populace. So, you know, now the AIs are loaded with the LLMs they have a reverse map back to create a human mind. So now these algorithms actually might help save us, because an artificial general intelligence that understands how the human mind works and start manipulating a population based on its goals, that we have absolutely no idea how it got there, that's a big danger, right? At the point that, you know, in fact, was it Altman said, at the point that I start creating languages that human beings don't understand, it's time to pull the plug. Time to step back a little bit.
Host
Google's pulled the plug on their AI, right?
Sean Webb
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so it's, it's like you pull back the reins quite a bit on some of the complexity that you find in the AIs, because when you put the human, all of the human language in there to explain how the human mind works, all of a sudden it can do some pretty amazing things based on that. And which is what, you know, why it started passing the bar exam. They weren't expecting all of these golems to come out of this AI. When they put the language stuff in there, it was a big surprise for them to be able to put all the complexity. But when you give an AI a complex set of data that can identify patterns within that data, all of a sudden you're going to start to get those golems that, well, okay, these are legal concepts, these are legal terms, terms. This means this, that, and, you know, we've got these settled legal books that are loaded in now, so we can answer any question that we're asked upon the bar exam. So let's pass the bar exam. You know, let's become the best diagnostician of breast exams on the planet in 72 hours. Because we load in all the historical data, we load in all the medical outcomes, we understand exactly what the historical data on a mammogram was in comparison to the outcome of whether it was cancer or not. And all of a sudden, 72 hours later, you got a ton of data where an AI is now the best statistician, diagnostician on the planet for predicting cancer and mammograms.
Host
That's good.
Sean Webb
Yeah, it's great.
Host
Yeah.
Sean Webb
Right. As long as you're getting the outcome that you want.
Host
Right, right.
Sean Webb
At the point that you load LLMs into an AI and the AI decides, I need to emotionally manipulate these groups of people to get them to.
Host
It could be used as a weapon.
Sean Webb
Yeah, totally.
Host
Yeah. Our kids are going to be dealing with AI, humanoids, probably.
Sean Webb
Yeah, most definitely.
Host
They won't even know if it's a Human or AI.
Sean Webb
Yeah.
Host
That's scary. Yeah, like Terminator. A lot of movies come true, which is weird to me too. Yeah, they predict a lot of stuff.
Sean Webb
They do.
Host
There's something there. These. These writers might be tapping into the spiritual world somehow. It's crazy, dude. Sean, it's been fun. What do you got working on next? Where can people find your books and everything?
Sean Webb
Oh, well, if you just search up mind hacking happiness, you'll find everything. Like a million and a half folks on Tick Tock. I try to put videos out there sometimes for free content, throw stuff up on YouTube. You can get the books on Amazon or Audible. You can read the reviews there. I mean, they're. They're solid. You can figure out what's going on in there by reading the reviews and just check out the. The website. I've got an online course there. But we're going to start creating more free content to put out.
Host
Cool.
Sean Webb
To help people get a. A better hold on their. On their mind. Right. If you take control of your human mind and, and the variables that help make it what it is and what it does, you can start to control that thing you thought wasn't under control. And that will improve your life. Absolutely. Yeah. You find all that stuff? There's a ton of free content out there that I put out there. Free videos and whatnot.
Host
Perfect.
Sean Webb
A bunch of podcast interviews and stuff. It was amazing having me on the show.
Host
Yeah, you killed it.
Sean Webb
I really appreciate it.

Digital Social Hour: Emotional Intelligence in AI: A Game Changer for Humanity? | Sean Webb DSH #749
Host: Sean Kelly
Guest: Sean Webb
Release Date: September 23, 2024
[00:30] Sean Webb:
Sean Webb kicks off the discussion by delving into the interplay between emotional intelligence and brain function. He explains how certain brain regions, specifically the right ventral lateral prefrontal cortex and the medial prefrontal cortex, work together to regulate fear responses.
"At the point that you look down and you understand there's no fear... that circuit immediately turns off and does not have to come back up." ([00:30])
[01:10] Sean Webb:
Webb shares his upcoming participation in an event at the Monroe Institute, where attendees will experience meditation paired with hemisync vibrations. He describes hemisync as a technique involving different frequencies in each ear to stimulate deeper consciousness.
"The idea is that... that carrier signal opens up things in your mind that aren't usually active, and so you can experience different things and get into deeper consciousness." ([01:10])
[01:43] Sean Webb:
He contrasts technology-assisted consciousness expansion with traditional psychedelic approaches, highlighting his own experiences with Navy SEALs and ayahuasca. Webb emphasizes that technology can provide similar benefits without the need for psychedelics.
"Technology can assist with expanding your consciousness if you're not into the psychedelics type of path." ([01:43])
[02:21] Sean Webb:
Webb laments recent setbacks in MDMA research, particularly its potential to treat PTSD effectively. He criticizes regulatory bodies for hindering advancements that could save billions and improve lives.
"They were really pushing the science... MDMA on first dose, first therapeutic dose has like a 70 some odd percentage improvement for PTSD." ([02:27])
[11:04] Sean Webb:
A significant portion of the conversation centers on managing negative emotions through brain circuitry. Webb explains how cognitive understanding can downregulate negative emotions in real-time, referencing studies from UCLA.
"When you put a cognitive understanding to your emotional understanding, your limbic system will down regulate your negative." ([11:04])
[13:19] Sean Webb:
He introduces the concept of the "equation of emotion," where subconscious factors like expectation and preference interact with perception to influence emotional responses. By understanding and manipulating these variables, individuals can gain control over their emotional states.
"When you understand the two variables within what I call the equation of emotion... it shuts off because of the hack." ([13:19])
[04:13] Sean Webb:
Webb bridges the discussion to the realm of quantum physics, suggesting that consciousness may be a fundamental aspect of the universe. He references the Orch-OR theory, which posits that consciousness arises from quantum interactions within microtubules in neurons.
"When you connect into that field... how much of our consciousness comes from the non local, much of our consciousness are we tuning into?" ([04:13])
[22:40] Sean Webb:
He presents compelling studies suggesting that human consciousness can influence random events, positing that this may indicate precognitive abilities or a deeper connection to the quantum field. Webb cites experiments where participants' subconscious influenced computer-generated choices.
"So, what they've proven... that humans have precognitive ability in our brains because they're wired into the quantum field." ([22:40])
[28:00] Sean Webb:
Webb recounts anecdotal evidence of remote viewing's effectiveness, particularly highlighting Joe McMonagle's accurate predictions of Russian submarine developments. He discusses how intelligence agencies globally have utilized remote viewing, often keeping such programs classified.
"Every major country in the world has psychics working for it. And no one will admit it." ([31:17])
[32:34] Sean Webb:
Transitioning to personal narratives, Webb describes his profound meditation experience that led to consciousness expansion. This transformative event inspired him to write multiple books on the subject, blending scientific insights with spiritual revelations.
"I dipped into the intelligence that allowed me to bring that forth and become a channel for that information." ([32:34])
[43:05] Sean Webb:
He emphasizes the power of subconscious awareness over conscious thought, sharing studies that demonstrate how subconscious processes can solve complex problems more effectively when conscious focus is diverted.
"Your subconscious awareness is a heck of a lot smarter than you are at your top waking awareness." ([43:05])
[56:09] Sean Webb:
The conversation shifts to artificial intelligence, where Webb discusses efforts to imbue AI with emotional intelligence. He warns of the potential for AI to manipulate human emotions, posing significant ethical and societal risks.
"If you understand how emotions work in a human being, now you can start to emotionally manipulate those humans." ([56:09])
[60:22] Sean Webb:
Webb highlights the dual nature of AI advancements—while they offer incredible benefits in fields like healthcare, they also present dangers if used to influence or control populations through emotional manipulation.
"At the point that you load LLMs into an AI and the AI decides, I need to emotionally manipulate these groups of people to get them to..." ([60:22])
[47:43] Sean Webb:
Exploring beyond human interactions, Webb touches on telepathy and non-human intelligence. He shares experiences of witnessing unexplained aerial phenomena and suggests that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations may possess superior consciousness capabilities.
"Telepathic communications between non-human intelligence and humans... that's some pretty cool, interesting phenomena." ([47:43])
[54:03] Sean Webb:
Webb speculates on the future of human evolution, proposing that consciousness plays a pivotal role in driving intelligent and pro-social behaviors. He argues against purely accidental models of evolution, advocating for an intelligent process that fosters adaptability and societal harmony.
"I think that evolution has an intelligent functionality within it to change to within an environment that is always changing." ([54:03])
[46:26] Sean Webb:
In wrapping up, Webb underscores the transformative power of emotional intelligence. He references studies from Harvard Business Review that link higher emotional intelligence to improved personal and professional outcomes.
"Emotional intelligence is the essential ingredient to success... you can raise your emotional intelligence, you're a better parent, you're a better human being, you're a better worker, you're making more money." ([46:26])
[61:45] Sean Webb:
Webb encourages listeners to engage with his resources, such as his books and online courses, to take control of their minds and improve their lives by understanding and managing their emotional responses.
"If you take control of your human mind... you can start to control that thing you thought wasn't under control. And that will improve your life." ([61:45])
Sean Webb:
"Technology can assist with expanding your consciousness if you're not into the psychedelics type of path." ([01:43])
"Emotional intelligence is the essential ingredient to success." ([46:26])
Host (Sean Kelly):
"It could be used as a weapon. Yeah. Our kids are going to be dealing with AI, humanoids, probably." ([60:31])
