Q & A
What is the 'Alpha High' as mentioned in the script?
-The 'Alpha High' refers to an altered state of consciousness where individuals experience heightened alpha brainwave activity, leading to feelings of well-being, creativity, and reduced anxiety, similar to the effects of certain drugs but achieved through non-pharmacological means such as brainwave training.
Why do people seek the 'Alpha High'?
-People seek the 'Alpha High' for the same reasons they might use drugs: to feel good or to block out negative experiences. However, the 'Alpha High' is a natural and sustainable state that can be achieved without substances.
How does brainwave feedback training relate to the 'Alpha High'?
-Brainwave feedback training allows individuals to learn how to increase their alpha brainwave activity, which can lead to the 'Alpha High'. This training provides a non-drug method for achieving the desired states of relaxation, creativity, and heightened sensory perception.
What are some of the benefits of achieving the 'Alpha High' through brainwave training?
-Benefits include increased IQ, enhanced creativity, improved emotional intelligence, reduced anxiety and depression, and the ability to access this state naturally without the need for substances.
How does the 'Alpha High' compare to the effects of drugs like alcohol or marijuana?
-While drugs like alcohol or marijuana can alter brainwaves to produce a temporary 'high', the 'Alpha High' achieved through brainwave training is a natural and sustainable state that does not rely on substances and can be controlled by the individual.
What is the significance of the Baba Rebop cartoon in the context of the discussion?
-The Baba Rebop cartoon illustrates the idea that to solve the problem of drugs, one must improve reality. This aligns with the concept of achieving an 'Alpha High' through brainwave training, which offers a natural alternative to drug-induced highs.
Can you explain the historical context of brainwave feedback training mentioned in the script?
-Brainwave feedback training was discovered in California in 1962, around the same time LSD became illegal. It faced resistance from social conservatives who were against the idea of a non-drug induced 'high'. However, it has since been recognized as a valuable tool for mental and emotional well-being.
What role do sensory enhancements play in the 'Alpha High' experience?
-Sensory enhancements, such as improved hearing, vision, taste, touch, and smell, are part of the 'Alpha High' experience. These enhancements can make everyday experiences more vivid and pleasurable, contributing to the overall sense of well-being.
How does the 'Alpha High' relate to the concept of 'Biocybernauts'?
-The term 'Biocybernauts' refers to individuals who have undergone brainwave training at the Biocybernaut Institute. The 'Alpha High' is one of the experiences they may achieve, indicating a mastery over their brainwave patterns and an enhanced state of consciousness.
What is the significance of the color blue in the context of the 'Alpha High' and Biocybernaut Institute?
-Blue is the color most associated with alpha brainwaves and the 'Alpha High'. The Biocybernaut Institute uses blue as a predominant color in their training centers to create an environment conducive to achieving alpha states.

🧠 Introduction to Alpha High
Dr. Hart, the founder of the Biocybernaut Institute, discusses the concept of the 'alpha high,' an altered state of consciousness associated with increased alpha brainwave activity. He explains that people seek this state for various reasons, including heightened creativity, emotional intelligence, and reduced anxiety. Dr. Hart uses a cartoon analogy to illustrate the desire for altered states, comparing it to the historical use of alcohol for pleasure. He emphasizes that brainwaves are the key to any experience, and drugs only affect us because they alter brainwaves. The conversation touches on how substances like alcohol and marijuana impact brainwaves and the desire for a 'natural high' without substances.
🌿 The Natural High of Alpha Training
Dr. Hart elaborates on how brainwave feedback training can replicate the effects of drugs like marijuana, which is known to increase alpha brainwave activity, without the need for substances. He discusses the social aspect of interpreting altered states positively and how brainwave training allows individuals to achieve these states independently. The 'alpha high' is described as a sustainable and natural high that comes with sensory enhancements. Dr. Hart shares anecdotes from his time at the University of California, where students experienced 'joy bursts' and felt compelled to share their experiences, highlighting the profound impact of alpha training on their well-being.
👀 Enhanced Senses and the Alpha High
The discussion shifts to the sensory enhancements associated with the alpha high, drawing parallels with reports from the 1960s and 1970s of individuals under the influence of LSD experiencing heightened senses. Dr. Hart references an experiment where cats were given LSD and their auditory thresholds significantly improved, suggesting that enhanced alpha activity can improve sensory perception. He shares a personal account of a trainee who experienced 'alpha eyes,' seeing the world with greater visual acuity and recognizing higher-level patterns after alpha training. The narrative emphasizes the comprehensive sensory experience of the alpha high, including taste, touch, and smell, and how it can lead to a more vibrant and enriched life.
🍑 The Sensory Delights of Alpha Training
Dr. Hart continues to explore the sensory enhancements of alpha training, focusing on taste and touch. He recounts a vivid example of a football player experiencing an intense sensory pleasure while eating peaches, illustrating the profound impact of alpha training on gustatory sensations. The conversation also touches on the tactile enhancements, suggesting that even simple touches can become pleasurable experiences during an alpha state. The segment concludes with endorsements from Tony Robbins, who shares his personal experience and the transformative effects of the Biocybernaut program on his life and the lives of his family members, emphasizing the program's effectiveness for those serious about self-improvement.

hello everybody we are back and once
again we are blessed to have dr hart
with us dr hart of course you all know
but he is the founder president and
chairman at biocybernaut institute dr
hart thank you so much for being with us
it's always a pleasure doug oh it's
always my pleasure
one of the things that i've come across
and we wanted to talk about today is
really talking about the alpha high now
the alpha high for those that haven't
had the chance to go to biocybernaut is
that feeling you get when you have high
alpha and i've experienced this twice
since going through it just seems to get
greater greater and greater as i go but
can you talk to us a little bit about
that alpha high
well it's uh definitely an altered state
and
some people
want to come to biocybernaut
for
the practical real world benefits
boosting iq
becoming more creative
raising their emotional intelligence
and
the benefits of reduced anxiety
depression
anger hostility all of those things
um
but there is an aspect of the motivation
in some of the people where they want to
get high and feel good
now
one of my
uh favorite
cartoons
it's not peanuts
is baba rebop the sage of the west now
it's not nearly as popular as peanuts
but it's like peanuts it's a four
picture uh cartoon and
the first frame
there's a guy in a sport coat and a tie
climbing a steep mountain you can tell
it's steep because his tie is hanging
away from his chest
then in the second frame he arrives at a
ledge up the mountain and there's baba
the guru sitting on a blanket
and in the background there's a cave
with some candles flickering
and the guy says to baba oh baba i'm so
concerned about the problem of drugs in
today's society
and the third picture baba is sitting
there with an empty dotted balloon he's
reflecting maybe pulling information out
of the akashic records
and in the fourth picture baba speaks
and he says
poignantly
the only way to solve the problem of
drugs in today's society is
to improve reality
and so when you think about it
people do drugs for one or two reasons
one to get high feel good
there's a ancient human tradition of
that i mean the fermentation of alcohol
which goes back thousands of years
was so people could get high and feel
good
and the other reason
that people use drugs is to blot out
negative experiences to numb themselves
out so they don't have to think about
the trauma or the sadness or degree for
the anxiety or whatever it is whatever
it is they want to block out
and so at bioshock not we know
that brain waves rule
and so any experience that you have as a
living human being
you have those experiences only
only when you have the appropriate
underlying pattern of brain waves
brainwaves rule
and so
any drug that you take has an effect
only because it changes your brain waves
now some of the drugs that people take
like
alcohol
uh they numb themselves out now there is
and
it's enshrined in
the working
world is happy hour
and people get off their stressful jobs
and they gather in some place where they
can purchase and consume alcohol
and maybe get a little rowdy
and they call it happy hour well
actually it's happy three-quarter hour
because when people start stressed
people start consuming alcohol there is
a body relaxation muscles actually relax
and so this lasts for about 45 minutes
and that's definitely a feel-good
experience but then
the central nervous suppressing effects
of alcohol begin to kick in
and their alpha starts to take a
downhill slide
which depending on how long they drink
continues all the way to the hangover
the next day
and so
uh
there are
another drug that people take
recreationally is marijuana now there's
a an article long ago published in the
journal of the american medical
association you could just see these you
know
first-year med students sitting around
they had access to a brainwave analyzing
computer and they go
let's get high and see what happens to
our brain waves and so what they
reported was that marijuana produces an
increase in alpha activity and it also
produces a slight slowing of the
frequency
these are two effects of zen meditation
and so
now eric good
probably
somewhere in the um
80s wrote a paper entitled on becoming a
marijuana user because the strange
sensations
uh are such that
people need help in interpreting these
as positive if somebody has the
experience
alone or without context they may
actually get paranoid at the changes
that are occurring and so becoming a
marijuana user in re requires in most
cases some socialization where the
altered perceptions the altered body
feelings are interpreted as pleasurable
and so then people actually seek that
out
but the the thing is that these effects
can be had
the increased alpha and the slowing of
the alpha with brainwave feedback
training you don't need to use the drug
remember the drugs are there simply to
change the brain waves to produce a
defect an effect that people want which
is either get high feel good or uh block
out numb themselves uh and uh
not to think about some negative
experiences or traumas
and so all of these are available with
the brainwave training
and so as alpha goes up
there is
a subjective experience certainly
associated with letting go of the
anxiety and and opening and of course at
bioseminal we teach forgiveness
but even before that was a part of the
protocol
people would get high and feel good and
this because they do it themselves they
learn how to increase their health
themselves they have access to this
state
when they leave the training center
unlike with the drug if you don't have
the drug you can't change your
brainwaves but when you learn internally
how to change your brain waves it
becomes like you know scratching your
right cheek you
you do that you know how to do it and
you can do it anytime
and so one of the delights that i
experienced back when i was in the
university of california in san
francisco
we were training uh college students
and uh we'd be sitting at the lab and
the phone would ring and it would be a
college student walking down market
street back in those days they had these
things called phone booths
the the uh the college student would
have had a alpha burst and and so call
it a joy burst and he would rush to the
telephone and call the lab and let us
know
so that was a wonderful form of feedback
now uh in the history of uh brainwave
feedback um there was initially by some
people
resistance to the idea of an alpha high
many people were uh you know on the
anti-drug bandwagon
and the idea that there should be some
non-drug way of getting high
was anathema to
certain kinds of uh social conservatives
and it's an interesting historical
footnote that brainwave feedback was
discovered and reported in california in
1962
april 1960
kamiya at the western psychological
uh
association meeting
in 1962 is also the year
in which lsd
became illegal uh in california so one
technology was taken away and another
one came forward
but still there were certain uh
social conservatives who were very
opposed to the idea that there was an
alpha high
and so it kind of had to be you know
lurking in the shadows a little bit it
was okay to do alpha to reduce anxiety
or you know to help get people off drugs
but you shouldn't do alpha in order to
get high and feel good but in fact
that's what happens when you when you
make alpha you get high and you feel
good and it's a natural high it's a
sustainable high it's something you can
turn on any time that you're rested and
you haven't had those naughty caffeine
alcohol nicotine onion garlic substance
and so
the idea of there being an alpha high is
well established although it's kind of
been lurking in the shadows for a long
time and i feel that it's time to bring
it out and bring it front and center yes
there is an alpha high and the bigger
your alpha gets and the more coherent it
gets the stronger and more persistent
this high becomes
now uh it's uh it's associated with
a number of sensory enhancements
and let's go back to the drug model
now there were reports from the 60s and
70s of uh
kids getting stoned and going to the
park and lying in the grass and claiming
to hear the earthworms moving under the
ground or the grass growing
well i grew up on a farm in minnesota
and i can tell you if you go out into
the corn fields on a
july night you can actually hear the
corn grow
as the water comes up the stalks expand
they actually snap and pop and and as
they're in the process of growing so yes
you can hear the corn grow but grass
growing that's a little more challenging
but
kids on lsd said that they could hear
the grass grow
so let's look at an lsd experiment that
was done uh with cats
now when people go for a hearing
experiment hearing test
they can receive instructions like well
if you hear a tone in your left ear push
you know this button with your uh left
finger and if you hear it in the right
ear push it with the
right finger and so uh
you can then see how
faint a sound and in what frequency
people can hear
well you can't do that with kitties so
what they did was they inserted a tiny
needle electrode into the cochlear
nucleus the cochlear nucleus is a way
station in the brain between the
mechanism of the ear
and the higher hearing centers of the
brain
and so you have
the mechanism in the ear starting with
the eardrum that receives pressure waves
that sound waves and translate them into
neural activity well if the ear has
successfully resolved acoustic energy
and converted it into neural energy
there will be activity in the cochlear
nucleus so you it doesn't mean the kitty
heard because the kitty might be asleep
or it might be ready to pounce on a
mouse and it's not attending to its
hearing it's just focusing on the mouth
and so
but the the precondition for hearing is
that there be activity in the cochlear
nucleus this means that the mechanism of
the air has resolved acoustic energy
converted into neural energy so they
took a whole bunch of kitties and they
measured their auditory threshold how
faint of sound they could hear
and so then
they gave them a very tiny dose of lsd
one microgram per kilogram of body
weight this would be like for a 70
kilogram guy it would be
you know 70 micrograms now kids were
taking thousands of micrograms so this
is a you know very tiny dose well what
this produced was a fall in the auditory
threshold of a full order of magnitude
people could hear
fainter sounds
and i'm also happy to report
that
people's hearing
improves in the course of the alpha
training
and so
it's clear that the mechanism of the
kitty's ear
is the same mechanism with or without
lsd
and so the mechanism in the ear for a
human is the same with or without
enhanced alpha but with the enhanced
alpha the mechanism in the ear resolves
uh sounds uh more fully
and
so
one of our
trainees
a woman
had a long excited story that she told
about what she called alpha eyes
after her alpha training she saw
the world differently
now
one part is just you know greater visual
acuity colors seem brighter and and more
beautiful but also
there are structural
relationships between things in the
visual field and these resulted
in her
recognition of higher level patterns one
of the things that she did was she
completely redecorated her home
in her home she had
reds and blacks and oranges and she
replaced all of them took them all out
and so she had then blues and greens and
yellows which are more conscious colors
you know at biocybernaut we cut the
color spectrum
between orange and yellow and we approve
all the colors
from yellow
to green to teal to blue
to
violet purple all of those and we
typically exclude the colors that are
redward of orange
orange pink red and so on which are
activate the lower chakras and so when
you go to a biosauron training center
you will not see red or orange anywhere
and this is by conscious design blue is
the color that is most associated with
alpha so blue will be the predominant
color
now the enhancement of visual perception
is very interesting
in terms of seeing beauty but also in
seeing
the patterns but that's not the only
sense that is enhanced
taste
and touch and smell
are also enhanced
in my
california centers
my home in san francisco was near the
san francisco farmers market and i would
go there 6 a.m every saturday morning to
buy fresh produce from the farmers and
one of my favorites was during peach
season the peaches would have been
picked the evening before
and hand packed and they would be like
you know as big as grapefruit and
way more delicious well one time i had a
san francisco 49er in training
uh during uh peach season
and uh about four or five days into his
seven-day alpha training he discovered
the bowl of peaches on the table and i
have to say that his devouring those
peaches was almost pornographic because
he was having such
delight with the juice running down his
cheek and oh my god oh this is so good
it's just he was like into incredible
sensual enhancement of uh the gustatory
sense
and uh so
alpha training it's not just alpha eyes
but the alpha high includes enhancement
of all the other senses and this can
also include touch so
uh doing alpha and then getting massage
or just tickling your own feet is a a
not to be forgotten pleasure and so
there is an alpha high and uh it hasn't
been talked about nearly enough and so
we're going to begin an active series of
talking about different examples of
sensory enhancement that occurs for
people who do the bioseven and alpha
training
that's really exciting i didn't know a
lot of that especially when it comes to
hearing
um so i look forward to the series that
you'll be putting on and and i can
certainly attest to myself but also many
many other people i talked to
having to continue continuous alpha high
after my training and beyond
so
as always dr hart thank you so much for
sharing your time with us i know how
busy you are i know in fact you're going
into a training to to help some other
individuals out so thank you for all the
work you do
you're welcome doug lovely to hang out
with you
hi i'm tony robbins listen if you are
looking to improve your brain your
psyche your ability your emotions your
ability to really maximize your
performance um and you want to really
dig into your brain my my dear friend dr
jim hart and his biocybernut program is
extraordinary i've been through it
myself my wife sage has members of my
family have and we found it to be truly
extraordinary but it is not for the
fainted heart unless you're dead serious
about really taking things to the next
level don't bother we went through the
alpha program designed to maximize your
ability to have great alpha waves and it
was challenging and it was incredibly
rewarding and i'd recommend it to
anybody serious about improving the
quality of their lives or including the
quality of their family lives as well so
check out cybernaut check out dr jim
hart and if you do i think you'll be
really really pleased
and the entire time you are learning to
think and how you think these electrodes
create sounds
and you learn how to put yourself in the
zone of alpha but it's a
it's horrible i wouldn't recommend it to
anybody that wants easy experiences but
i'd recommend to anybody that wants to
grow immensely and by the the first day
i'm like who do i got to shoot to get
out of this thing oh it's me i'm the one
that did this
but by the end of the week all three of
us were able to go in this state of
alpha and if you're familiar with alpha
the best way i can describe alpha is
there's no problem that can't be solved
in alpha
because every problem that we have was
created by us
thank you for
being here and absorbing this
information about the science of brain
waves and about the stories of people
whose lives have been beneficially
altered
improved by doing brain wave training at
biocybername and now i'm reaching out to
you to invite you to come and be a part
of the biocybernaut adventure
biocybernauts are to interspace what
astronauts are to outer space so come an
adventure with us and if you'd like to
leave a comment on the videos you can do
that or there's a link you can click if
you'd like to learn more we welcome you
to biocybernate
