[m4sterm12]

Can we download your song?

[10thdim]

@m4sterm12 Sure, thanks for asking! Many of the songs associated with this project, including this one, are available for download from tenthdimension (dot) com (slash) digital

[supergsx]

This is your best video.

[BogMonkey53]

How many nipple does a sea horse have?

[TazmanianFrenzy]

I have the same skepticism about this swine flu "epidemic" too.

[10thdim]

Absolutely! And I think this relates nicely to a video I posted a couple of weeks ago, "Now vs. the Future".

This is one of my favorites of these videos so far. And it really fits into some experiences i've encountered recently. A bit of a coincidence.

[ivy0x0]

dude, you are so intelligent, what did you study in school? i mean,like wot would you call your proffesion? quantum physisist? conspiracy theorist? i doubt it...

[pandaEXPLOSHIN]

In this video you stated "We have more control in our own lives than what we have been led to believe." Does this mean that our positive affirmations only work for us? Can it not work in helping society or for the good of mankind? And if so, then what if there are any reverse effects by others negative thoughts? How would this work.

[10thdim]

Right. Do some of us run negative scripts over and over in our minds that keep us from our goals? Sure. Does a person with an optimistic viewpoint tend to make better choices than someone who is depressed? Yes! I've talked about this recently in Now vs the Future

and quite a while ago in Everyone Has a Story

And the idea that we're all connected together in ways unseen means that entrainment really could affect each other:

This is exactly like what you should learn from the video "The Secret" which teaches you the law of attraction and how it works. For instance; if you visualize and truly believe that something will happen, it will happen. This can be used for manifesting abundance, health, or even other's thought process', Just like Nocebo's.

[FearThisChannel]

@pandaEXPLOSHIN So if all people on the world honestly believe that the world will undergo a dramatic change in 2012, then it will? I'm not skeptic, just asking. It's interesting to know that there has actually been some research about this with advanced computers.

[szhan1022]

haha

thats freakishly interesting...

[eurabio]

this video is so interesting as your aesthetic vision. thanks rob

[Sanioz]

I'm inVINCIBLE!

Bryanton is the complete package, man..

4:27 = A government agency in a blacked out suv?

[InitiumThoth]

Good stuff.

Seems someone once told me the same sort of effect applies to insanity. Where insane people act out behaviors culturally expected from them. For example, to an eskimo insanity might be going naked in the ice, but in our culture they whip out the chainsaw in compliance with the Silence of the Lambs/CSI expectations.

This seems plausable to me when I consider how different cultures respond to psychosis. In certain places, or periods one is not mentally ill, he/she is a shaman.

[lnstrumentalist]

Awesome, Rob. Looking forward to your next video!

I wish we had more people like you, applying nocebos to things like constant fear mongering and such.

[grasseline]

I like this.

If you didn't have a witch doctor in ancient times.

You didn't have health insurance.

[JareduPS]

I completely agree with this, I've believe for a long time I simply can't get sick because I've convinced myself that my immune system is amazing, as a side-effect, I never take medication and yet I've only become sick perhaps once every 3 years, and most of the time it's due to allergens rather than viruses or the like.

Excellent video, Power to the mind! :D

[gjozefi]

Mr. Bryanton, is any of your music available on ITunes for download?

[10thdim]

Thanks for asking. No it's not on iTunes, but you can download it from the tenth dimension website.

[MooWithMetubes]

Intriguing and a little scary! lol

[robertvdheide]

great explanation of the mechanism ,,THANKS ,,, ;-)) nice song as well

[manhill]

placebos work with horses. so, no, there is no "believe" necessary to make placebos work.

[gorerydr]

Maybe you should turn your thinking upside down.

[manhill]

i repeat: you don`t have to "believe" in placebos to make them work. they work either way, even with horses.

[crneroses]

The world needs more educated, logical, sensible people like you.

[Fjarhultian]

Drag Me To Hell? I do not think it walked the line between horror and very black comedy particularly well.

I could see it trying, but it simply didn't perform well.

My opinion.

[dbell92]

Inspirational.

[Automat1kkk]

Good Work! 5 Starz!

nice explanation and great last audiovisual part !

Love&Light!

I once had what I thought was an allergic reaction to a new vitamin pill because I read the label after taking it and read it contained something I couldn't have. It was more than a panic attack it was actually like a proper allergy response (contricted throat, blurred vision, lip and tongue swelling). Luckily I reread the label before calling anyone or an ambulance, and realised I'd misread it. Within seconds I was fine. I felt like a twit, but the power of suggestion was proven to me that day!
