Hello and welcome
to "Road to Romance"
00:00:22.28\00:00:25.35
I'm your host Dr. John Jacob.
00:00:25.39\00:00:27.32
Today we have with us
Bianca, Sean and Miles.
00:00:27.36\00:00:30.59
Welcome! Good to see ya! Hello!
00:00:30.63\00:00:32.66
So I thought today, we
could take a look at your
00:00:32.69\00:00:34.56
past - does that make
you feel a little nervous?
00:00:34.60\00:00:37.73
Miles has a... No,
my past is pretty ah...
00:00:37.77\00:00:40.57
Pretty, pretty
clean? Don't dig that up.
00:00:41.00\00:00:43.04
Don't dig it up. Yeah
00:00:43.07\00:00:44.41
Well not that kind of past,
just the effect that your past
00:00:44.44\00:00:47.21
experiences has had on
your present dating. Okay
00:00:47.24\00:00:50.71
So let's take a
look at the slide.
00:00:51.45\00:00:54.48
So, "past relationships,"
I'm pretty sure that you
00:00:56.15\00:00:59.65
did not know that every
experience you've ever had
00:00:59.69\00:01:02.79
shapes or re-shapes
your brain. Makes sense.
00:01:02.82\00:01:07.23
So we knew that parenting
can shape a child's brain,
00:01:07.26\00:01:10.47
but even after you've
left your parents' home,
00:01:10.50\00:01:13.90
and you live, you
know, on your own,
00:01:13.94\00:01:15.67
and you go out, you
start work, make a living,
00:01:15.70\00:01:18.61
try to meet some
people and try to date,
00:01:18.64\00:01:21.84
and start a life of your own...
00:01:21.88\00:01:23.45
Every one of those experiences
actually shapes your brain,
00:01:23.48\00:01:27.78
and the more traumatic or the
more ecstatic the relationship,
00:01:27.82\00:01:33.09
the greater an impact
it has on how your brain
00:01:33.12\00:01:36.59
would be shaped or
developed. Hmm. Okay
00:01:36.62\00:01:38.99
Even in adulthood.
00:01:39.03\00:01:40.60
Now, I don't know your
ages, but if you're under 29,
00:01:40.63\00:01:44.33
then the shaping is
even more pronounced.
00:01:44.37\00:01:48.24
As you get older, the shaping
is less, and less, and less
00:01:48.27\00:01:52.11
until you get into
your 70s, your 80s,
00:01:52.14\00:01:54.48
and it's not so pronounced. Okay
00:01:54.51\00:01:56.64
But I'm guessing that you guys
are around 20s, maybe early 30s,
00:01:56.68\00:02:01.82
so it is something that
you would be interested in.
00:02:01.85\00:02:05.39
Yes, definitely. Right?
00:02:05.42\00:02:07.36
Okay, so here's what
the research shows...
00:02:07.39\00:02:09.56
The research shows that
it actually takes you about
00:02:09.59\00:02:13.33
12 dates to
figure out who you are,
00:02:13.36\00:02:17.93
and what you want
in a relationship. Okay
00:02:17.97\00:02:20.37
Who you are in that relationship
or just who you are at?
00:02:20.40\00:02:23.30
Who you are in the
relationship. Twelve days?
00:02:23.34\00:02:25.64
Twelve dates... Dates,
oh! Yeah 12 dates... Okay
00:02:25.67\00:02:28.88
And when they say
"dates," they actually
00:02:28.91\00:02:31.41
went on to
explain what they meant.
00:02:31.48\00:02:32.91
They didn't really
actually mean one date,
00:02:32.95\00:02:35.58
like you go to a coffee
shop or you go to a restaurant,
00:02:35.62\00:02:38.82
or you go to church...
you know, they really meant
00:02:38.85\00:02:41.52
long-term - so like a long-term
relationship doesn't have to be
00:02:41.56\00:02:45.76
2 years or 1 year, but a
couple of months at least.
00:02:45.79\00:02:49.03
And each of those will qualify
for what they call "one date,"
00:02:49.06\00:02:52.77
and you need about 12 of those
00:02:52.80\00:02:55.67
before you could figure
out exactly what you want
00:02:55.70\00:02:58.14
in someone else.
00:02:58.17\00:03:00.08
But, I don't know if you guys
remember what I told you about
00:03:00.11\00:03:03.68
Y- types and blueprints.
00:03:03.71\00:03:06.31
So our resident Y-type
here, you would remember. No
00:03:06.82\00:03:11.22
You probably have a good,
clear idea of what you want
00:03:11.25\00:03:15.09
in a partner.
00:03:15.12\00:03:16.56
That sounds pretty accurate.
00:03:16.59\00:03:18.76
And most Ys, if
she is like most Ys,
00:03:18.79\00:03:21.16
they tend to not veer
away from that blueprint,
00:03:21.20\00:03:25.90
and that presents a problem
because it's very hard to
00:03:25.93\00:03:28.80
have someone come and allow
you to check off every item
00:03:28.84\00:03:32.51
on your 10 item list.
00:03:32.54\00:03:35.14
Yeah, it's one of
those things where I'm like,
00:03:35.18\00:03:36.64
"Am I being too picky or
is this okay?" Like, you know?
00:03:36.68\00:03:41.35
See, I could
help you with that...
00:03:41.38\00:03:42.85
If you're a Y, the answer
to that question is "yes."
00:03:42.88\00:03:47.06
You are probably being
too picky if you're a Y
00:03:47.09\00:03:49.36
because you
tend to be too picky.
00:03:49.39\00:03:52.13
And, for our X men
here on the left...
00:03:52.16\00:03:55.76
Oh, the X men with
secret powers? Yeah!
00:03:55.80\00:03:58.33
I know the answer for them too,
00:03:59.33\00:04:00.67
they probably
are not picky enough.
00:04:00.70\00:04:03.14
You guys probably
need to be more selective,
00:04:03.17\00:04:05.51
and I know it
doesn't seem to make sense...
00:04:05.54\00:04:07.58
It's such a struggle to
find a quality mate today
00:04:07.61\00:04:10.91
that for somebody to say, "Get
picky or get more selective,"
00:04:10.95\00:04:15.15
it's almost like telling
you, "Okay, well when are you
00:04:15.18\00:04:17.82
going to have your next date,
00:04:17.85\00:04:19.19
when would you ever
hope to be married?"
00:04:19.22\00:04:20.92
But it's true, it's
actually what you need to do...
00:04:20.96\00:04:24.23
you actually need to be more
specific and more particular.
00:04:24.26\00:04:27.23
I'm very
particular, actually, so...
00:04:27.26\00:04:28.90
You're very
particular... that's excellent!
00:04:28.93\00:04:30.37
And you need to
keep it that way.
00:04:30.40\00:04:31.73
That you Dr. Jacob. Okay
00:04:31.77\00:04:33.10
So, 12 first dates,
but here's the problem...
00:04:33.13\00:04:35.97
The same scientists
that did this research,
00:04:36.00\00:04:37.91
They said, "Yeah, we
want people to go out and date
00:04:37.94\00:04:40.98
at least 12 times - so
that they could find out
00:04:41.01\00:04:43.21
what they want in a mate,
but we need to caution them."
00:04:43.24\00:04:46.31
One bad date, one date
that goes wrong, horribly wrong,
00:04:46.35\00:04:51.95
where you feel traumatized,
they say it's enough
00:04:51.99\00:04:54.92
to change your
brain to such an extent
00:04:54.96\00:04:57.79
that it affects your
dating for years to come. Wow!
00:04:57.83\00:05:02.76
I mean it makes
sense, it's like when you
00:05:02.80\00:05:04.40
touch something very,
very hot, you burn yourself.
00:05:04.43\00:05:07.07
It's a very strong
experience and you don't want to
00:05:08.07\00:05:10.37
repeat that painful
experience again. Exactly
00:05:10.41\00:05:13.01
So Y-types who
experience that one bad date,
00:05:13.04\00:05:16.41
sometimes 5 years
later, they still are not back
00:05:16.44\00:05:20.25
in the dating pool. Okay
00:05:20.28\00:05:21.88
Y- types - Y-types
have a very difficult time.
00:05:21.92\00:05:24.62
As you see there, it says
how Xs and Ys handle the past.
00:05:24.65\00:05:28.22
Y- types don't
handle the past very easily.
00:05:28.26\00:05:31.49
Why? Because oxytocin is
required for forgiveness.
00:05:31.53\00:05:36.63
They don't have too much of it.
00:05:36.67\00:05:38.03
If you have a lot of
oxytocin, you would find it
00:05:38.07\00:05:40.17
easier to forgive and forget.
00:05:40.20\00:05:41.54
Y- types tend not
to have as X- types,
00:05:41.57\00:05:44.27
so the past kind of
remains the present.
00:05:44.31\00:05:47.74
So what if you're like,
since I am both Y and X,
00:05:47.78\00:05:50.88
like Y on the communication
and X on the intimacy side
00:05:50.91\00:05:54.58
or the emotional connection,
would that help temper it?
00:05:54.62\00:05:59.25
That helps a lot
because it means that
00:05:59.29\00:06:01.79
emotionally you
still want someone to
00:06:01.82\00:06:04.23
bond with emotionally,
so you will get over
00:06:04.29\00:06:07.00
your hurts and feelings faster
00:06:07.03\00:06:09.23
than if it were the
other way around where you were
00:06:09.26\00:06:11.23
emotionally a
Y-type, not needing people,
00:06:11.27\00:06:13.84
not needing - you
know what I'm saying? Um hm
00:06:13.87\00:06:15.60
So yeah, being a Y-X,
I think that helps you.
00:06:15.64\00:06:18.47
That makes sense with
my own experience, yes.
00:06:18.51\00:06:21.21
It kind of jives
with what you know?
00:06:21.24\00:06:22.74
Okay, but so X-types,
you guys generally tend to
00:06:22.78\00:06:28.02
get back in the saddle too fast.
00:06:28.05\00:06:30.75
It's like falling off a
horse and getting right back on?
00:06:30.79\00:06:32.95
Just like you're
getting back on the same horse.
00:06:32.99\00:06:35.16
Okay same? Yeah!
00:06:35.19\00:06:37.03
Xs do that a lot,
Xs tend to go back
00:06:37.06\00:06:39.33
to the same person a lot.
00:06:39.36\00:06:41.26
Why? Again, the
answer is hormones - oxytocin
00:06:41.30\00:06:44.77
They've bonded to that person,
so even when they fall off
00:06:44.80\00:06:47.67
the horse, they're
going back to the same person
00:06:47.70\00:06:49.47
because they're still attached.
00:06:49.50\00:06:51.34
So it works with the horses,
don't do this with people.
00:06:51.37\00:06:54.91
Exactly! Exactly! Laughter.
Do not do this with people.
00:06:54.94\00:06:57.35
Whatever caused you
guys to go your separate ways
00:06:57.38\00:06:59.85
the first time,
probably still exists, you know,
00:06:59.88\00:07:03.85
and you're going back because of
00:07:03.89\00:07:05.65
how you feel...
You're going back because of
00:07:05.69\00:07:07.12
how the hormones make you feel,
not because that person changed.
00:07:07.16\00:07:11.09
Not because the
situation changed,
00:07:11.13\00:07:12.73
and as X-types,
even if the person said,
00:07:12.76\00:07:14.96
"You know I'm like
that anymore, I swear,
00:07:15.00\00:07:17.30
I've changed completely."
00:07:17.33\00:07:19.10
You want to believe
because oxytocin produces trust
00:07:19.13\00:07:24.11
and produces - well trust to
the extent of gullibility. Fault
00:07:25.11\00:07:28.58
Yeah to a fault,
where you would like...
00:07:28.61\00:07:30.58
you want to believe,
so you jump right back in
00:07:30.61\00:07:33.25
helped by oxytocin
only to find out that
00:07:33.28\00:07:35.92
nothing has changed.
00:07:35.95\00:07:37.52
And here's the other
thing, oxytocin is glue!
00:07:37.55\00:07:40.52
So you jump back in to find
out that nothing has changed,
00:07:40.56\00:07:43.16
and now you're unable to leave
because now you're stuck again.
00:07:43.19\00:07:47.33
So just to give you an idea
of what it's like, you know,
00:07:47.36\00:07:50.63
the differences between how you
guys date and the consequences.
00:07:50.67\00:07:54.87
So back to the 12 first
dates, so the one bad date,
00:07:54.90\00:07:58.24
the problem is it changes
your brain, changes the neurons,
00:07:58.27\00:08:02.58
changes the wiring in your
brain to such an extent that
00:08:02.61\00:08:05.85
you may not want to
venture back quickly enough,
00:08:05.88\00:08:09.92
and what do you
think is likely to happen?
00:08:09.95\00:08:11.69
During that time when
you're taking your 3, 4, 5 years
00:08:11.72\00:08:15.12
to heal, you miss the
very person that was intended
00:08:15.16\00:08:20.43
for you in the first place.
00:08:20.46\00:08:22.36
That's horrible,
why? Yeah, exactly.
00:08:22.40\00:08:26.74
But there's something else,
not only does it cause you to
00:08:26.77\00:08:31.21
take too long to jump
back in the dating pool,
00:08:31.24\00:08:33.78
but it also
alters your judgment,
00:08:33.81\00:08:37.15
so that when you get
back there, your judgment
00:08:37.18\00:08:40.35
is not the same
as it was before.
00:08:40.38\00:08:42.52
So you're almost
like judging against them
00:08:42.55\00:08:44.42
without any
reason for that. Exactly
00:08:44.45\00:08:47.89
So if you dated
someone like this good-looking,
00:08:47.92\00:08:51.23
young man here - Sean, you're
6 feet 2- Thank you sir...
00:08:51.26\00:08:55.86
tall guy, ladies love tall guys,
but if Sean traumatized you,
00:08:55.90\00:09:02.60
the next time you saw someone
that was 6' 2, what happens?
00:09:02.64\00:09:05.67
Laughter. Your
brain - it's like a
00:09:05.71\00:09:08.48
post-traumatic stress disorder.
00:09:08.51\00:09:10.01
Your brain tells you -
"He's 6' 2, remember 6' 2?
00:09:10.05\00:09:13.42
You need to run,
you need to stay away!
00:09:13.45\00:09:15.78
Now this 6' 2 is a good
man, Christian young man and
00:09:15.82\00:09:20.26
he has all good intentions and
maybe this is the man for you,
00:09:20.29\00:09:23.09
this is the one for you. Right
00:09:23.12\00:09:24.46
But your brain won't
allow it because your brain is
00:09:24.49\00:09:27.33
trying to protect you
from the pain and protect
00:09:27.36\00:09:29.66
you from the hurt. Makes sense.
00:09:29.70\00:09:31.03
You know, I have
an example of that.
00:09:31.07\00:09:33.13
It wasn't a relationship
or anything like that,
00:09:33.17\00:09:37.44
but I saw someone who
looked like someone else,
00:09:37.47\00:09:42.58
who had done something
that wasn't right and that other
00:09:42.61\00:09:48.15
person was the one I
had previously had a lot of
00:09:48.18\00:09:50.52
respect for and appreciated
her, but then this other person
00:09:50.55\00:09:55.32
you know, styled her
hair like this other person.
00:09:55.36\00:09:57.59
I was like, "Why do I just seem
to have this dislike for her,
00:09:57.63\00:10:01.13
I don't dislike anybody.
00:10:01.16\00:10:02.53
And then she changed
her hairstyle, the next day
00:10:02.56\00:10:05.03
was like - "Oh, she looks
like so and so, I was like
00:10:05.07\00:10:08.80
oh, okay now that makes sense."
00:10:08.84\00:10:11.87
That's the power of the brain.
00:10:12.74\00:10:14.08
So between the
brain and the hormones,
00:10:14.11\00:10:17.21
it could be scary out there,
but that's what we're here for
00:10:17.25\00:10:21.12
to guide you guys
through all of this so that you
00:10:21.15\00:10:23.28
don't have to be
worried about this.
00:10:23.32\00:10:25.09
You know what a lot of people
00:10:25.12\00:10:26.62
don't know... So
what does this say?
00:10:26.65\00:10:28.46
This says that
you have to be really
00:10:28.49\00:10:29.99
careful when you're dating.
00:10:30.03\00:10:31.63
I'm sure, by now, you guys have
concluded that, right? Um hm
00:10:31.66\00:10:35.16
Yes, you're picky, you
have to be very selective.
00:10:35.20\00:10:38.23
You have to do your homework,
you have to do your research.
00:10:38.27\00:10:41.64
You have to find out
what kind of a family
00:10:41.67\00:10:44.57
this person is coming from.
00:10:44.61\00:10:45.94
You know, find out a
little bit about the person.
00:10:45.97\00:10:48.04
I'm not saying you
should go to the extreme
00:10:48.08\00:10:50.41
that some people have gone
to, like hiring a private eye.
00:10:50.45\00:10:52.91
I've heard people
doing that, right?
00:10:52.95\00:10:55.58
Even without
any reasons? Exactly
00:10:55.62\00:10:57.95
And then the internet now
allows us to do all kinds of
00:10:57.99\00:11:00.26
background searches for
very little, very little money,
00:11:00.29\00:11:03.66
and you could find out all
kinds of things about people
00:11:03.69\00:11:06.09
I'm not saying that
you need to go that far,
00:11:06.13\00:11:07.70
but I'm saying
you should at least
00:11:07.73\00:11:09.06
know where the brother lives.
00:11:09.10\00:11:10.43
You should at least
meet somebody in his family,
00:11:10.47\00:11:11.93
and his friends. I
have a quick question...
00:11:11.97\00:11:14.97
So, personally myself, I
have not been in a serious
00:11:15.04\00:11:19.14
relationship
and I'm past my 20s.
00:11:19.17\00:11:24.21
Do you think by me not
being in a serious relationship
00:11:24.25\00:11:27.95
can hurt or help
when I do get in one?
00:11:27.98\00:11:33.72
I guess I should
throw the question back...
00:11:33.76\00:11:37.13
If it were to
hurt you, how would it?
00:11:37.16\00:11:39.13
How do you think
it might hurt you?
00:11:39.16\00:11:40.50
Because I haven't had
past experience in other
00:11:40.53\00:11:44.30
relationships, so I
might not know what to look for
00:11:44.33\00:11:47.37
or certain things, how to
cohabitate with that person
00:11:47.40\00:11:50.54
or something like
that, I'm not quite sure.
00:11:50.57\00:11:51.94
Just lack of experience.
00:11:51.97\00:11:54.14
Yeah, you always
ask the good questions.
00:11:54.18\00:11:56.85
You always ask really
good questions. Thank you!
00:11:56.88\00:11:58.85
That's an excellent question.
00:11:58.88\00:12:00.22
As a matter-of-fact,
when I first read the research
00:12:00.25\00:12:02.72
about the 12 dates, I thought to
myself, "Well that's horrible."
00:12:02.75\00:12:05.92
I mean that's horrible,
so this is Russian roulette.
00:12:05.95\00:12:08.92
I am going to date
and date and date and hope
00:12:08.96\00:12:13.29
that I don't get
traumatized before #12.
00:12:13.33\00:12:17.10
Because if I get
traumatized now, I'm going to go
00:12:17.13\00:12:19.03
years and years and
years before I could have good
00:12:19.07\00:12:21.87
judgment to choose somebody
else," and I thought about that.
00:12:21.90\00:12:24.74
This is what's
part of the reason,
00:12:24.77\00:12:26.41
part of what prompted
me to work to create this
00:12:26.44\00:12:29.84
test because without
you having experience,
00:12:29.88\00:12:33.72
what does the test do?
00:12:33.75\00:12:35.08
The test naturally
tells you who you are.
00:12:35.12\00:12:37.59
It tells you what you need.
00:12:37.62\00:12:40.06
So then you don't have all
that trauma to weigh you down
00:12:40.46\00:12:43.46
when you do go into
a relationship. Exactly
00:12:43.49\00:12:44.83
You don't have to
go through the trauma.
00:12:44.86\00:12:46.19
The trauma comes about
because people get mismatched.
00:12:46.23\00:12:48.16
If you don't know who you are,
and you don't know what your
00:12:48.20\00:12:50.57
personality type is, you'll
find yourself with someone
00:12:50.60\00:12:52.97
that is the exact opposite
because we've already said
00:12:53.00\00:12:55.20
opposites attract or opposites
are attractive but not adhesive.
00:12:55.24\00:13:00.64
So you'll find yourself
with someone that is completely
00:13:00.68\00:13:04.25
opposite of what you need.
00:13:04.28\00:13:05.85
Now you guys will still
fall in love and you guys will
00:13:05.88\00:13:08.58
still love each other
and oxytocin will flow
00:13:08.62\00:13:10.69
and it will still bond
you, but you can't remain
00:13:10.72\00:13:13.32
bonded because you
guys are too dissimilar.
00:13:13.36\00:13:16.39
So somebody breaks it
off and you are left with a
00:13:16.42\00:13:20.90
broken heart.
00:13:20.93\00:13:22.26
Now the test is
not a magic formula.
00:13:22.30\00:13:25.57
It doesn't prevent
that from happening.
00:13:25.60\00:13:28.07
Just a guide to
help you along. Exactly
00:13:28.10\00:13:30.51
But it reduces the likelihood
that it will happen because it
00:13:30.54\00:13:34.44
allows you instead of
playing again, gambling 1 in 4.
00:13:34.48\00:13:38.55
I have a 1 in 4
chance of meeting somebody
00:13:38.58\00:13:40.22
who is like me - now you
don't need the 1 in 4 chance.
00:13:40.25\00:13:43.75
You could meet somebody
who is exactly like you because
00:13:43.79\00:13:45.55
the test will do that for you
and then all the other things
00:13:45.59\00:13:50.16
that we've shared with you
allows you to do the background
00:13:50.19\00:13:53.26
checks that you need to do
to not have to worry about it.
00:13:53.29\00:13:56.73
So I actually
think that you are in an
00:13:56.77\00:13:58.10
advantageous
position. All right!
00:13:58.13\00:14:00.00
Because you're not... yeah.
00:14:00.04\00:14:02.37
Call me up! Laughter
Okay ladies, you heard that.
00:14:02.40\00:14:06.07
You're not damaged. No.
00:14:06.11\00:14:09.58
You didn't go
through anything traumatic.
00:14:09.61\00:14:11.45
You're just sitting there
waiting for the right person
00:14:11.48\00:14:14.15
to come and I really
believe it's going to happen.
00:14:14.18\00:14:16.35
Thank you! You're very welcome.
00:14:16.38\00:14:19.29
So I wanted to thank you
guys again for participating
00:14:19.32\00:14:22.22
and for, you know,
sharing your thoughts,
00:14:22.26\00:14:23.99
and I'll see you next time.
00:14:24.03\00:14:28.30
Hello and welcome
back to "Road to Romance"
00:14:32.40\00:14:35.14
We are joined again
by Vania and Jeremiah.
00:14:35.17\00:14:37.74
Welcome! Thank
you. Good to be back.
00:14:37.77\00:14:39.64
So today, we're talking
about the effect that your
00:14:39.67\00:14:42.61
past experiences
have on your relationship.
00:14:42.64\00:14:46.98
There's a lot of research coming
out now from country after
00:14:47.02\00:14:51.95
country showing us that
your past experiences actually
00:14:51.99\00:14:55.92
affect your current
experiences, your relationship,
00:14:55.96\00:15:00.66
and even unborn
Jeremiah, Jr. Thank you sir.
00:15:00.70\00:15:06.43
Yeah, really. So let's begin...
00:15:06.47\00:15:09.37
Basically, what they're
finding is that when you have an
00:15:09.40\00:15:13.38
experience, it
changes your brain.
00:15:13.41\00:15:15.94
So if you continue to
have good experiences,
00:15:15.98\00:15:19.41
that, too, leaves an
imprint on your brain,
00:15:19.45\00:15:21.45
but if you have
traumatic experiences,
00:15:21.48\00:15:23.65
that also affects your neurons,
but in a different way. Okay?
00:15:23.69\00:15:27.72
And when your
neurons are changed,
00:15:27.76\00:15:30.36
it affects your
judgment and it affects
00:15:30.39\00:15:32.36
the decisions that you make.
00:15:32.39\00:15:34.36
So you guys had a
lot of experiences before
00:15:34.40\00:15:37.03
marriage, yeah? Um hum
00:15:37.07\00:15:38.73
Good, some good,
maybe some not so good,
00:15:38.77\00:15:42.00
and then you got
together, holy matrimony
00:15:42.04\00:15:44.57
and you're now one.
00:15:44.61\00:15:46.31
But those experiences
are never forgotten; in fact,
00:15:46.34\00:15:50.01
they're so
long-lasting and so effective,
00:15:50.05\00:15:53.68
that when you have the
experience, your neurons change
00:15:53.72\00:15:56.75
very, very quickly and
they change so that they could
00:15:56.79\00:15:59.72
store the memory.
00:15:59.75\00:16:01.16
Now that stored memory affects
how you think, how you act,
00:16:01.19\00:16:05.86
and some of the
choices that you make.
00:16:05.89\00:16:08.03
It's just like a
computer - your brain is.
00:16:08.06\00:16:10.23
So you're about to make
a decision and your brain
00:16:10.27\00:16:13.44
will go and look through
the files of what has happened
00:16:13.47\00:16:17.04
to you - to tell you whether or
not this is a good thing to do.
00:16:17.07\00:16:21.31
It's the reason why a lot
of husbands find themselves
00:16:21.34\00:16:24.08
treating their wives in a
certain way and looking back
00:16:24.11\00:16:26.88
and thinking, "That
could not possibly be me...
00:16:26.92\00:16:29.45
you know that's not me,
that sounds like my father."
00:16:29.48\00:16:32.32
"I don't do that." Right
00:16:32.35\00:16:34.29
So what you mean is...
you don't do that consciously,
00:16:34.32\00:16:37.43
but your brain has the
files from what your brain
00:16:37.46\00:16:41.20
saw your father do
15, 10, 5 years ago. Okay?
00:16:41.23\00:16:46.84
Now I want to point
out something that is
00:16:46.87\00:16:49.27
really exciting...
00:16:49.30\00:16:50.64
In about 2005,
probably a little before that,
00:16:50.67\00:16:54.84
some scientists
discovered something remarkable.
00:16:54.88\00:16:58.41
So they were
studying mice where, you know,
00:16:58.45\00:17:00.95
all experiments
usually begin. With mice!
00:17:00.98\00:17:03.42
And they found that
mice, if they were exposed to a
00:17:03.45\00:17:08.42
traumatic event, which for
the mice, was something like
00:17:08.46\00:17:11.96
stealing their cheese or
putting them in a maze that was
00:17:11.99\00:17:17.53
scary and they
actually did that.
00:17:17.57\00:17:18.90
They put them in a
maze and they scared them,
00:17:18.93\00:17:21.64
and so this was a
traumatic event for the mouse.
00:17:21.67\00:17:23.94
And so what they did is...
00:17:23.97\00:17:25.54
They decided to breed
that mouse and the offspring...
00:17:25.57\00:17:30.58
They put their offspring in the
same box, in the same container.
00:17:30.61\00:17:33.48
Now remember, the offspring
did not have the scare,
00:17:33.52\00:17:35.65
but when they brought the
same scare, the offspring jumped
00:17:35.68\00:17:41.56
like the parents did.
00:17:41.59\00:17:43.63
And then they realized, "Wait
a minute, that isn't possible,
00:17:43.66\00:17:46.09
this mouse could
not possibly know
00:17:46.13\00:17:48.03
what his father experienced."
00:17:48.06\00:17:50.17
So they checked the DNA
and they found that there was a
00:17:50.23\00:17:54.80
tag - kind of like
that ribbon in your hair,
00:17:54.84\00:17:58.87
a tag hanging off - not
looking that pretty though,
00:17:58.91\00:18:01.81
just hanging off of the DNA.
00:18:01.84\00:18:04.88
And the tag was a tag with the
memory of what the father had
00:18:04.91\00:18:10.05
experienced and the
father passed it on down through
00:18:10.09\00:18:14.46
his sperm, so the son
who never had the experience
00:18:14.49\00:18:18.33
because the father is now
dead and gone and obviously
00:18:18.36\00:18:20.40
the father
didn't communicate this,
00:18:20.43\00:18:21.80
it is as if he
experienced it himself.
00:18:21.83\00:18:25.73
Now that is
called, "epigenetics."
00:18:25.77\00:18:28.80
Now genetics is as old as you.
00:18:28.84\00:18:32.77
I mean, we all know
that you can pass traits
00:18:32.81\00:18:36.88
down from father to
son, blue eyes, blue eyes,
00:18:36.91\00:18:40.18
you know, straight
hair, straight hair, whatever.
00:18:40.22\00:18:41.95
We know we can pass
some of the traits down,
00:18:41.98\00:18:43.42
but what we did not know is...
00:18:43.45\00:18:44.92
We can also pass
down experiences. Right?
00:18:44.95\00:18:49.72
So, they thought, "I
wonder how far this goes?"
00:18:49.76\00:18:53.13
They bred that mouse again
and the same thing happened.
00:18:53.16\00:19:00.50
And they noticed that the
experiences went all the way
00:19:00.54\00:19:04.51
down to the third or
fourth generation. Wow. Yeah!
00:19:04.54\00:19:10.85
Now these are
scientists, they're not
00:19:10.88\00:19:14.48
Christians
necessarily, maybe some are,
00:19:14.52\00:19:16.79
but the majority of them
are evolutionists and they won't
00:19:16.82\00:19:20.16
make the connection
that you and I could make
00:19:20.19\00:19:23.16
about what's happening with
this third and fourth generation
00:19:23.19\00:19:26.33
because we already
know what we were told
00:19:26.36\00:19:28.13
about the third
and fourth generation.
00:19:28.16\00:19:30.97
What we didn't know
until this century is
00:19:31.00\00:19:33.77
that the experiences
can actually alter your DNA.
00:19:33.80\00:19:38.51
Now what does that
mean for your experience,
00:19:38.54\00:19:40.68
and I'm not trying to scare you,
00:19:40.71\00:19:42.18
but what does this
mean for your experience?
00:19:42.21\00:19:45.58
We have a lot of
parents who have turned a new
00:19:45.61\00:19:48.85
leaf, they're living
pretty much a converted life,
00:19:48.88\00:19:52.05
and they're doing everything
right as far as they know,
00:19:52.09\00:19:55.56
as best as they could
and then they have the kids
00:19:55.59\00:19:59.73
Jeremiah Jr. and whatever
you decide you're going to name
00:19:59.76\00:20:03.20
the little girl if you have one,
and then they see the children
00:20:03.23\00:20:06.77
acting in a way
that they never acted.
00:20:06.80\00:20:11.07
Or, doing some
things that the children
00:20:11.11\00:20:14.18
were not seeing
their parents do.
00:20:14.21\00:20:16.21
So, for instance, let's suppose
you had a couple of children
00:20:16.24\00:20:19.38
and they grew up
and they were teenagers.
00:20:19.41\00:20:20.98
From the time they were
born, you know that you had
00:20:21.02\00:20:24.62
set a good example of how they
should behave morally, right?
00:20:24.65\00:20:30.43
Yet still, they go out and
they make the worse choices,
00:20:30.46\00:20:35.16
and so you're asking yourself,
"What are we doing wrong?
00:20:35.20\00:20:39.90
They've seen nothing from us
00:20:39.93\00:20:42.14
that would lead
them to do that."
00:20:42.17\00:20:44.27
But here is how
epigenetics works...
00:20:44.31\00:20:46.37
A lot of us would go to college,
you know, we're in our 20s
00:20:46.41\00:20:51.58
and we're not
careful about how we live,
00:20:51.61\00:20:54.98
where we go, what we do.
00:20:55.02\00:20:57.25
And all of those experiences
that we have, some men go
00:20:57.29\00:21:02.32
and during that time,
they sow their wild oats
00:21:02.36\00:21:04.03
and they're like, "You
know, I'm just going to have a
00:21:04.06\00:21:05.39
good old time until I'm
ready to settle down." Wow
00:21:05.43\00:21:07.46
Not realizing that
that "good old time"
00:21:07.50\00:21:10.53
was tagging their
DNA every single time,
00:21:10.57\00:21:14.87
and that tagged DNA was passed
down after they decided to
00:21:14.90\00:21:21.71
settle down and fly
right and do the right thing.
00:21:21.74\00:21:25.85
And is there anything you
can do to remove or delete
00:21:25.88\00:21:29.32
the tags?
00:21:29.35\00:21:30.89
Yes! Yes!
That's a good question.
00:21:30.92\00:21:33.99
There is a lot that you
could do - doing the opposite.
00:21:34.02\00:21:40.03
If you were worried
about your own tags,
00:21:40.06\00:21:41.50
you could do the
opposite of what you did
00:21:41.53\00:21:43.60
and try to
counteract it that way.
00:21:43.63\00:21:47.17
A lot of teaching, compensating.
00:21:47.20\00:21:50.14
If you know what you
did then for instance,
00:21:50.17\00:21:52.37
let's suppose you knew
that you weren't very careful
00:21:52.41\00:21:54.21
when you were out there and
you had, let's say one partner
00:21:54.24\00:21:56.88
too many - now
you have children.
00:21:56.91\00:21:58.68
You don't have to tell
them about what you did
00:21:58.71\00:22:00.58
because that too can tag them.
00:22:00.62\00:22:03.35
But you could tell them
the dangers of living any way
00:22:03.39\00:22:08.96
that they want to
instead of being careful.
00:22:08.99\00:22:11.13
You know, you could
tell them ahead of time,
00:22:11.16\00:22:13.40
and you could tell them
about epigenetics and just say,
00:22:13.43\00:22:16.26
"Hey, this is what's good,
I know you're thinking right
00:22:16.30\00:22:17.90
now that you're young
and you could do whatever
00:22:17.93\00:22:19.50
you want, but the
memories of what you're doing
00:22:19.53\00:22:23.00
will not leave your body;
they will not leave your brain,
00:22:23.04\00:22:25.84
they will not leave your genes.
00:22:25.87\00:22:27.64
They will tag your
DNA" and the knowledge,
00:22:27.68\00:22:30.65
that knowledge,
hopefully, will help them,
00:22:30.68\00:22:32.48
you know what I'm saying,
to make the right decision.
00:22:32.51\00:22:34.38
I'm actually glad that you
said that and there is a science
00:22:34.42\00:22:38.35
to back it up, like, you
know, a lot of times if you just
00:22:38.39\00:22:41.46
simply tell someone
what they should not do,
00:22:41.49\00:22:44.79
they're going to think,
you know, it's going to look
00:22:44.83\00:22:46.36
like you're saying, "Do
as I say, not do as I do,"
00:22:46.39\00:22:49.63
kind of thing, so you're
trying to rob them of the fun
00:22:49.66\00:22:52.33
that they could have, but
it's the science behind it,
00:22:52.37\00:22:55.10
and it speaks for itself.
00:22:55.14\00:22:56.47
Yes, this is very
different and you're right.
00:22:56.50\00:22:57.94
This is the first thing
that young people think...
00:22:57.97\00:22:59.77
"Oh, you had your time,
but this is mine, you're only
00:22:59.81\00:23:02.28
saying that now because
you're married and you have
00:23:02.31\00:23:04.75
no choice." Right?
00:23:04.78\00:23:06.38
But you're correct... If
you show them the science,
00:23:07.08\00:23:09.48
and you say, "Hey no,
you're hurting yourself,
00:23:09.52\00:23:11.12
because at some point,
this is going to become very,
00:23:11.15\00:23:13.15
very important to
you and at that point,
00:23:13.19\00:23:15.86
it will matter to you,
but you wouldn't be able to
00:23:15.89\00:23:17.49
do anything about it." Correct
00:23:17.53\00:23:18.93
So you're right, the science
00:23:18.96\00:23:20.30
makes all the
difference in the world.
00:23:20.33\00:23:21.70
I have to let you know
that this is not just about
00:23:21.76\00:23:24.60
infidelity or that sort of
thing, it's also about things
00:23:24.63\00:23:30.87
like "health!"
00:23:30.91\00:23:32.31
They found that people
can tag themselves. Yeah
00:23:32.34\00:23:35.41
During a certain
period of your life,
00:23:36.18\00:23:37.85
you weren't careful about what
you eat and what you drink...
00:23:37.88\00:23:42.18
Everything that you
eat and drink tags your DNA
00:23:42.22\00:23:45.99
and it's like a register that
keeps a memory of what you did.
00:23:46.02\00:23:49.82
So then you have your children
and you're trying to have
00:23:49.86\00:23:52.29
your children to
live a healthy life,
00:23:52.33\00:23:53.96
but you went through a
period of time when you did not,
00:23:54.00\00:23:57.37
and so when you tell
them, "No, I don't want
00:23:57.40\00:23:59.13
you to eat this because
it's not good for you...
00:23:59.17\00:24:00.84
bla, bla, bla, bla,
bla. They're like, "No,
00:24:00.87\00:24:02.77
this feels good to
me, I'm going to do this."
00:24:02.80\00:24:05.04
And you're confused,
"Why is this happening?"
00:24:05.07\00:24:07.28
They found the
same thing with cancer.
00:24:07.34\00:24:09.21
They've now understood that
cancer can skip generations,
00:24:09.24\00:24:12.28
so it will skip one generation
and go to the third one down,
00:24:12.31\00:24:17.22
but it's going
because of a tag. Wow
00:24:17.25\00:24:20.06
Now, I have to tell you
guys that epigenetic tags...
00:24:20.09\00:24:22.56
it's like a switch
- it works on and off.
00:24:22.59\00:24:27.36
On and off, so no middle.
00:24:27.40\00:24:29.06
So, for instance, if you
had an abusive childhood,
00:24:29.10\00:24:31.87
you find that one or
two things will happen...
00:24:31.90\00:24:35.44
You're either
afraid to get married,
00:24:35.47\00:24:37.34
or you get married very, very,
very quickly and carelessly.
00:24:37.37\00:24:43.14
There is no
in-between, you know.
00:24:43.18\00:24:45.35
And so this has so many
implications when you consider
00:24:45.38\00:24:49.42
what happened in the Bible.
00:24:49.45\00:24:50.99
Adam and Eve were the
first pair to be tagged
00:24:51.02\00:24:53.89
because of sin and I know
Adam and Eve were very, very,
00:24:53.92\00:24:58.86
very surprised when
Cain... remember they expected
00:24:58.89\00:25:01.23
Cain to be the
Messiah, they really did!
00:25:01.26\00:25:04.60
They did everything right
because they had made a mistake,
00:25:04.63\00:25:07.04
and they raised
Cain quite spiritually,
00:25:07.07\00:25:09.87
and then they had Able and
they were shocked when Cain
00:25:09.90\00:25:13.48
turned out to be the
first murderer because
00:25:13.51\00:25:15.34
they were thinking, "Where
did he get this from?" Exactly
00:25:15.38\00:25:18.05
But, they were
tagged when they disobeyed,
00:25:18.08\00:25:20.25
and they passed
on that tag gene.
00:25:20.28\00:25:22.15
No matter what they taught Cain,
they passed on that tag gene
00:25:22.18\00:25:25.22
to Cain and the science is
also showing that you cannot
00:25:25.25\00:25:29.56
know which child will be tagged
and which child will not. Wow
00:25:29.59\00:25:32.29
So it was just a gamble, it
just so happened it was Cain.
00:25:33.50\00:25:37.47
It could have very
well been Able. Right
00:25:37.50\00:25:39.83
But like generally
speaking, like children will be
00:25:39.87\00:25:43.87
tagged... you just don't
know how they will be tagged.
00:25:43.91\00:25:47.18
Well, you could
tag them positively.
00:25:47.21\00:25:48.58
You could give them
positive experiences.
00:25:48.61\00:25:50.38
Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah
00:25:50.41\00:25:51.75
They will be
tagged regardless. Yeah
00:25:51.78\00:25:53.52
Everybody will be tagged,
but you want to be tagged
00:25:53.55\00:25:55.58
in a positive way,
in a way that is helpful
00:25:55.62\00:25:57.69
to you, you know?
00:25:57.72\00:25:59.32
And so, if you know
you're going to be tagged,
00:25:59.35\00:26:01.36
why not choose how it's
going to happen? Exactly
00:26:01.39\00:26:05.06
I mean, we know this now
and this is very, very helpful.
00:26:05.43\00:26:08.13
I mean it helps me thinking
about what I'm going to eat
00:26:08.16\00:26:12.53
because what I'm going to
eat is going to affect my child
00:26:12.57\00:26:15.34
in some very genetic
direct ways and I don't have
00:26:15.37\00:26:19.31
to wait until I'm pregnant...
well I can't be pregnant can I?
00:26:19.34\00:26:22.54
YOU don't have to
wait until you're pregnant.
00:26:22.58\00:26:25.05
It's funny because my
dad is very passionate about
00:26:25.08\00:26:27.85
nutrition and he changed
his lifestyle, I think like
00:26:27.88\00:26:33.36
40-something years ago
and has been very consistent
00:26:33.39\00:26:36.69
also with us and it's
funny because me and my sisters,
00:26:36.73\00:26:40.40
even my brother, it's
like we have this thing in us
00:26:40.43\00:26:44.23
like you can't
leave it, you know? Yeah
00:26:44.27\00:26:47.70
Like you're aware of that and
it's like you want it, you know.
00:26:47.74\00:26:52.67
And it's a positive tag to you.
00:26:52.71\00:26:55.31
I also believe that XY Theory
exists because of tagging.
00:26:55.34\00:26:59.98
I mean, look at
what happened to Adam...
00:27:00.02\00:27:01.35
Remember, Adam was sent outside,
he was supposed to be with
00:27:01.38\00:27:03.69
his wife at his side.
00:27:03.72\00:27:05.72
He was sent outside to toil
in solitude, fishing, farming,
00:27:05.75\00:27:13.09
all the things that you don't
require any conversation for.
00:27:13.13\00:27:15.90
Right? Which is the
majority of men today,
00:27:15.93\00:27:19.47
still Y-type, not much
talking, not much, you know,
00:27:19.50\00:27:23.61
touchy-feely stuff.
00:27:23.64\00:27:24.97
Eve was given the job of
raising the kids touchy-feely,
00:27:25.01\00:27:29.64
talking all the time.
00:27:29.68\00:27:31.05
So now, the majority
of women are X-types,
00:27:31.08\00:27:33.48
and the majority
of men are Y-types.
00:27:33.52\00:27:36.08
So I am convinced that
even the Bible supports
00:27:36.12\00:27:38.92
the theory and supports
the fact that we have to
00:27:38.95\00:27:41.49
be so very careful
now that we're finding out
00:27:41.52\00:27:44.83
all of this information.
00:27:44.86\00:27:47.13
So, I'm not even
worried about Jeremiah, Jr.
00:27:47.16\00:27:52.40
He's going to be fine
and you are going to be fine.
00:27:52.43\00:27:55.30
We are thankful! Exactly!
00:27:55.34\00:27:57.17
So I just want to
thank you for joining us
00:27:57.21\00:27:58.97
and I'll see you
next time. Thank you
00:27:59.01\00:28:00.74
