Summary

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and Lumebox. The concept of manifestation is often discussed, yet many need a clearer understanding of its essence and how to integrate it into their lives. Our guest today is poised to explore manifestation in depth, uncovering its neuroscience foundations and practical application. Today, on the Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. James Doty about the power and neuroscience behind manifestation. Dr. Doty shares his insights on how we are all actively manifesting our lives and provides practical exercises that can help us clarify our manifestation goals. These exercises are not just theoretical concepts but actionable steps we can start implementing today. Dr. James R. Doty, MD, has been on the Stanford University School of Medicine faculty since 1997 in the Neurosurgery Department as a professor and more recently as an adjunct professor. He is also the founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford and a New York Times bestselling author of Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon’s Quest to Discovery the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart.

Dr. Dody, today we're diving deep into the art and science of manifestation, including how an understanding of the neuroscience around manifestation can radically change our lives for the better.

0:14.4

So I'd love to start there.

0:15.6

Can you tell our audience that's listening and watching today

0:19.2

what you think will be possible for them and their lives after listening to this interview.

0:25.6

I think there are several aspects. One is unfortunately so many people give their agency away and what I mean is that they look outside of

0:34.7

themselves for something that will guide them or that there's some cosmic

0:40.3

presence out there that's going to intervene. And in fact the first sense of the book

0:46.8

as you know is the universe doesn't give a fuck about you. And the reason

0:51.5

this is because the universe has no fucks to give. And the point is that so many of us, and I included early in my life, I looked for external affirmation.

1:04.4

People who would say, well, what you're doing is good

1:06.6

or that's right, or, geez, you did incredible things,

1:10.0

I like you.

1:11.2

All with the goal of sort of making me feel okay about myself.

1:17.2

And in some ways this very much relates to that because the answer is only you have the power to make yourself happy. As Epictetus has said and many other stoics,

1:30.0

you may not be able to control your circumstance, but you can control how you react to your circumstance and in many ways that's the truth about happiness and also of course how you look at the world

1:41.4

So I'm sure you've been in the situation where you've shared with a loved one, a family member,

1:48.0

geez, you know, I want this to happen, God I'm so excited about this, I think this is a great idea and then they'll say something like no that's stupid. Why would you do that or you can't do that? And you know obviously that's very hurtful and for many people deflating. But if you have your own internal compass that guide you

2:05.6

and you have a vision of what you want to do and you do some fairly straightforward practices,

2:11.3

but it's not as if it's a one and done, it's a process. I think the other

2:16.8

thing people get confused about manifestation is that there's a timeline here or it works out exactly the way you want and there's

2:28.9

not and you have to be patient one of the things I think that causes suffering for a lot of people is attachment and this is attachment to outcome.

2:40.0

When everything is focused on an outcome, if it doesn't manifest or occur the way you wish,
