Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast am on
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio at.
Speaker 2: George Norri back with Anthony Hamilton, a former professor of
Speaker 2: communication at Calalno University in North Vancouver, Canada. He is
Speaker 2: recognized internationally as an authority on the art and science
Speaker 2: of mental time travel. One of his books, Mind, Time
Speaker 2: and Power describes the results of his thirty years of
Speaker 2: research into how our thoughts and feelings shape our lives.
Speaker 2: This work began after not a body experience at the
Speaker 2: age of ten. He saw himself at the age of
Speaker 2: thirty two and spent years twenty years as a matter
Speaker 2: of fact, searching for an answer to the question how
Speaker 2: is it possible to receive information from the future. He
Speaker 2: eventually realized that all of us receive information from the
Speaker 2: future constantly, but most of us are simply unaware of it.
Speaker 2: Anthony Hamilton back on Coast to Coast, Anthony, how are you.
Speaker 3: I'm great, George, how are you doing?
Speaker 2: Good? Looking for this and what great work you do,
Speaker 2: my friend? Great work?
Speaker 3: Well, thanks so much. Thanks to you. You really helped
Speaker 3: to spread the word of what I'm doing. A huge
Speaker 3: number of people that come to me have heard me
Speaker 3: on your show, So I have to thank you for
Speaker 3: helping me get the message out.
Speaker 2: How do we know about receiving information from the future,
Speaker 2: How does that happen?
Speaker 3: Well, where can I begin?
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: What happened to me, of course, was I had a
Speaker 3: dream when I was a kid, and I saw myself
Speaker 3: at the age of thirty two, and as I got
Speaker 3: into my late twenties, more and more of that dream
Speaker 3: started to come true. So I eventually put together, after
Speaker 3: twenty years of research, a theory which is widely known
Speaker 3: as quantum consciousness. It's a way of describing the way
Speaker 3: the mind works using the principles of quantum physics, which
Speaker 3: is a departure from the way we normally think of
Speaker 3: how the mind works, which is based on Newtonian physics. Well,
Speaker 3: of course, in Newtonian physics, you can't know anything about
Speaker 3: the future because the future hasn't happened yet, and they
Speaker 3: assume people that, you know, all of us have grown
Speaker 3: up with this Newtonian model that says our presence is
Speaker 3: created by the past. Well, Einstein came along over one
Speaker 3: hundred years ago now and said, you know, according to
Speaker 3: his mathematical equations of relativity and quantum mechanics, it's just
Speaker 3: as possible that the future influences the present as much
Speaker 3: or more than the past does. So this gave me
Speaker 3: some insight into understanding this dream that I had, because
Speaker 3: what I was doing at the time was I had
Speaker 3: taken some training in visualization, law of attraction, and something
Speaker 3: called silver mind control. I remember that, so I became
Speaker 3: pretty good at using my imagination and visualizing my goals, right,
Speaker 3: this is what I was using it for, helping me
Speaker 3: make my goals come true. And during one of these
Speaker 3: sessions where I was just you know, visualizing, I decided
Speaker 3: to go back and try and remember more about my past.
Speaker 3: Because my past was more or less a blank to me.
Speaker 3: You know, I couldn't remember too much about my childhood.
Speaker 3: So I'd been used to doing these twenty minute visualization
Speaker 3: exercises every day. I'd been doing them for years, so
Speaker 3: I thought, well, I'll just spend some time exploring my past.
Speaker 3: And during one of these visualization exercises, I remembered having
Speaker 3: this dream at the age of ten. And here I
Speaker 3: was now in my early thirties and realizing that a
Speaker 3: lot of the stuff that was happening in my life
Speaker 3: now was happening that I had seen in this dream, Right,
Speaker 3: So I thought, well, wait a second. Now, nobody argues
Speaker 3: with the fact that here I am, in my early
Speaker 3: thirties remembering something that happened when I was ten. Everybody says,
Speaker 3: that's perfectly normal. That's what we call memory.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: But what if memory is not a recording? What if
Speaker 3: it's a connection? Right? Because one of the things that
Speaker 3: I had read from Einstein studying some of his work
Speaker 3: was he said, you know, there's no time and there's
Speaker 3: no space. There's space time. So the laws of time
Speaker 3: and the laws of space mirror each other. What's true
Speaker 3: for space is true for time, Right, So I thought, well,
Speaker 3: one thing I know about space is information passes through it.
Speaker 3: Like right now, I'm connected to you, and you're connected
Speaker 3: to me via this connection. We can call it the internet,
Speaker 3: we can call it a phone call, you know, whatever
Speaker 3: you want to call it. But the information's going from
Speaker 3: you to me and back and forth. Right, So I thought, well,
Speaker 3: what if memory is a connection. I'm connected now in
Speaker 3: this meditation exercise, I'm connected to my ten year old self.
Speaker 3: That answered my question as to how it's possible to
Speaker 3: get information from the future at the age of thirty
Speaker 3: two in my case, when you're ten, because if it's
Speaker 3: a connection, it's kind of like a phone call through time,
Speaker 3: which according to what I understood from Einstein's work, it's
Speaker 3: perfectly reasonable. And that also answered my other question because
Speaker 3: at the time I was teaching people, I was leading
Speaker 3: seminars and helping people achieve their goals by using their
Speaker 3: visualization skills. Close your eyes, imagine yourself in the future,
Speaker 3: see yourself achieving this goal, you know. And so I thought, well,
Speaker 3: if memory is really a connection, then goal setting must
Speaker 3: be a connection too. This explains why people that set
Speaker 3: goals are successful, because they tap into the future and
Speaker 3: they use that future as a source of information. So
Speaker 3: this was in nineteen eighty that I figured this out.
Speaker 3: So I've been thinking about this now and teaching people
Speaker 3: these principles for you know, the last forty five years,
Speaker 3: and what I've come to believe is that literally every
Speaker 3: thought we have is a connection. It's a connection into
Speaker 3: something in the past or something in the future. And
Speaker 3: of course, according to quantum physics, there's a whole spectrum
Speaker 3: of pasts, and there's a whole spectrum of possible futures.
Speaker 3: Some of which happened and we experience them. So that's
Speaker 3: our timeline through the physical world. You know, I can
Speaker 3: remember specific times in the past where things happened to
Speaker 3: me or with me, but I can remember all kinds
Speaker 3: of things that might have happened but didn't. And when
Speaker 3: I look at the future, I can imagine doing something
Speaker 3: to more Like I have an appointment tomorrow morning downtown.
Speaker 3: I can imagine myself driving downtown and going to disappointment. Well,
Speaker 3: unless something interferes with that, that's going to happen. That's
Speaker 3: going to be a physical event. I'm going to get
Speaker 3: in my car, drive downtown, have this meeting with these people.
Speaker 2: But do you know the outcome of the meeting.
Speaker 3: I don't do I because it's a crab shoot. You know,
Speaker 3: there's so many possibilities that could happen tomorrow. People could
Speaker 3: show up, the meeting could be canceled. I could be laid.
Speaker 3: My car could break down, you know. So there's no
Speaker 3: guarantee that any particular event that we plan is going
Speaker 3: to work out. But generally speaking, they do work out.
Speaker 3: You know, we go to work every day, we do
Speaker 3: our jobs. You do your show every night. You know,
Speaker 3: we go to the store by our groceries. So these
Speaker 3: kind of events, we get information about them all the time,
Speaker 3: but we don't pay any attention to it because we think, oh,
Speaker 3: it's just daydreaming, it's just my imagination. It doesn't have
Speaker 3: any power. But the thing is, when you focus on
Speaker 3: something that's important to you, i e. A goal, right,
Speaker 3: whether it's finding a new job, buying a new car,
Speaker 3: writing another book, starting a business. When something is important
Speaker 3: enough to you and you focus on it like you're
Speaker 3: obsessed with it, you form a connection between yourself in
Speaker 3: the present and that future goal and it starts to
Speaker 3: talk to you. You start to get ideas, you start
Speaker 3: to get hunches, you start to get intuitions about how
Speaker 3: you can take steps to achieve that goal. So these,
Speaker 3: to me is information from the future. But we don't
Speaker 3: normally think of it that way, because we don't think
Speaker 3: of a goal as a connection, right. We don't think
Speaker 3: of thinking as a connection. We think of it kind
Speaker 3: of like the air. It's just there, you know, like
Speaker 3: we're fish in the sea of thought, and we don't
Speaker 3: pay any attention to the thoughts, but they're all around us.
Speaker 2: If we're aware of it, Anthony, can we tap into
Speaker 2: it on a regular basis.
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, absolutely. Like I say, if you are a
Speaker 3: goal set er, if you are a person who sets goals,
Speaker 3: I know you do. You have your schedule for the
Speaker 3: next few weeks or a few months, or a few years,
Speaker 3: perhaps laid out in advance. You know where you're going
Speaker 3: to be speaking, you know who some of your guests
Speaker 3: are going to be on the show. So those future
Speaker 3: events which are only possible, they're not physical. They're just
Speaker 3: outside in the future, in the realm of you know,
Speaker 3: the possible future, as I would call it. But if
Speaker 3: things work out, people show up, those events more or
Speaker 3: less unfold as you expect. But at any particular show,
Speaker 3: you don't know who's going to show up. You don't
Speaker 3: know how many people are going to be there. You know,
Speaker 3: you don't know until the last minute, even if the
Speaker 3: show is going to go ahead. I mean, you've probably had,
Speaker 3: like all of us, you had shows canceled or things interfere.
Speaker 2: Right, I've been lucky a little bit there.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you. I'm sure you are. And of course
Speaker 3: all of us are lucky too, you know, to the
Speaker 3: degree that we get good at at planning our lives.
Speaker 3: You know, more or less. What we expect is what
Speaker 3: we experience. But if we change our expectations, if we
Speaker 3: if we set a new goal, then we start to
Speaker 3: experience a different level of ideas coming into our minds.
Speaker 2: How can we utilize the time of the future to
Speaker 2: benefit us.
Speaker 3: Well, the best thing that I've found is to start
Speaker 3: to set some goals. Start to decide what it is
Speaker 3: you want. In all the work that I do, I
Speaker 3: give people worksheets or a workbook, and one of the
Speaker 3: first things that I ask people is what do you want?
Speaker 3: And the funny thing is, you know, most people don't know.
Speaker 3: Most people can't answer that question. If you ask people,
Speaker 3: you know, what would you do if you suddenly won
Speaker 3: the lottery? You know they have two or three ideas. Well,
Speaker 3: I'd pay off my mortgage, I'd buy a new car,
Speaker 3: I take a trip, But they you know, that's but
Speaker 3: it right. They don't have any more ideas. But a
Speaker 3: person who is artistic or creative sees themselves as a
Speaker 3: creative person, they can choose the future that they want,
Speaker 3: and they can with practice, visualize it, work towards it,
Speaker 3: plan it out, take steps towards it, and they can
Speaker 3: just step by step move into the future that contains
Speaker 3: more and more of what they want.
Speaker 2: Does it work that way for most people?
Speaker 3: I think it works that way for pretty well everybody,
Speaker 3: you know. But the sad thing that I've found is
Speaker 3: that most people, probably ninety five percent of people, don't
Speaker 3: really set goals. A lot of people think they have goals,
Speaker 3: and they don't. They really have wishes. You know, well,
Speaker 3: I'd like this to happen. I'd like that to happen.
Speaker 3: But the people that enroll in university because they want
Speaker 3: to get an architect degree and they spend, you know,
Speaker 3: five or six years or set in years learning what
Speaker 3: it takes to become an architect. At the end of
Speaker 3: that program, they can design a building and they can
Speaker 3: make that building a physical reality that people can move
Speaker 3: into and live in. But it starts as an idea
Speaker 3: in the architect's mind. And all of us really are
Speaker 3: the architects of our life. But the problem is most
Speaker 3: people don't think about it that way. They don't plan
Speaker 3: it out. They think that life happens to them. So consequently,
Speaker 3: they're like a cork in a stream. They just move
Speaker 3: around according to where the current takes them. But if
Speaker 3: you are a sailor, like I am. You have a
Speaker 3: sail boat. You have sails, you have a rudder. You
Speaker 3: don't really care which way the current is pushing you
Speaker 3: or which way the wind is trying to push you.
Speaker 3: Because you can change the setting of your sails and
Speaker 3: you can move where you want to go.
Speaker 2: You compensate for that, Yeah, you can compensate.
Speaker 3: You can use the that's trying to blow you to
Speaker 3: the north, you can use it to set your sales
Speaker 3: and move yourself to the south.
Speaker 2: What does consciousness, Anthony mean to you?
Speaker 3: Well, consciousness, you know, that's a tricky question and people
Speaker 3: have been arguing about it for thousands of years. Literally,
Speaker 3: to me, what it seems to be is more or
Speaker 3: less what people would think of as maybe my soul
Speaker 3: or my essence, you know. Like I've talked before when
Speaker 3: I was on your show previously about the dream that
Speaker 3: I had when I was young, and the fact that
Speaker 3: I was going to be married to an Asian woman,
Speaker 3: that I was going to be writing, I was going
Speaker 3: to be traveling and teaching, and I was going to
Speaker 3: become a university professor. All of those things happened. A
Speaker 3: lot of them happened. By the craziest set of coincidences.
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of things that I tried to
Speaker 3: achieve didn't work out, but other things happened by accident. Right,
Speaker 3: the way I became a university professor was just a fluke.
Speaker 1: But did you.
Speaker 2: Make those things happen?
Speaker 3: Though some of them I did make happen. You know, obviously,
Speaker 3: if you want to get a university degree, and you
Speaker 3: go to university and you study for three or four years,
Speaker 3: whatever it takes, you go to classes every day, you
Speaker 3: do your homework, you know, then you're following a plan
Speaker 3: that's laid out for you by the university, and you
Speaker 3: get your degree, you get your bachelor's degree, you get
Speaker 3: your architecture degree, you get your accounting degree, you know,
Speaker 3: whatever it might be. So there's a lot of things
Speaker 3: that we can work towards and we can make them
Speaker 3: happen just by our own planning and our willpower and
Speaker 3: our focus.
Speaker 2: And I was asking you what you thought consciousness means.
Speaker 3: To you, and that's right, So yeah, exactly right. Thanks.
Speaker 3: So what I was going to say was, now, I'm
Speaker 3: seventy seven. I just turned seventy seven last last month birthday. Thanks,
Speaker 3: so my becoming a university professor, my getting my university degrees,
Speaker 3: my getting married, my writing books, my running, my training business.
Speaker 3: All of those things exist in my mind now as
Speaker 3: points in what I call inner space time, right, and
Speaker 3: I call them memories. But in a sense, they were
Speaker 3: all there before when I was ten years old. But
Speaker 3: then they were fantasies, they were dreams, they were goals, objectives,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So those events they existed
Speaker 3: as possibilities, but they didn't unfold. A lot of them
Speaker 3: unfolded through my planning, other ones unfolded by accident, and
Speaker 3: some of them unfolded in very strange ways. But now
Speaker 3: they all still exist in my consciousness. But I call
Speaker 3: them memories now they're events in my past.
Speaker 2: Were the events that were going to occur? Or did
Speaker 2: you make them happen?
Speaker 3: Well, it's a combination of both. Right. It's like if
Speaker 3: you decide, for example, you're going to buy a car.
Speaker 3: You know some of your listeners may want to get
Speaker 3: a new car. So what do you do. You go
Speaker 3: to talk to people, You look in the newspaper, you
Speaker 3: watch you know, TV commercials, whatever. You decide the kind
Speaker 3: of car you want to buy, then you go out
Speaker 3: look look for it. You talk to people, You go
Speaker 3: to different dealerships and eventually you make a choice and
Speaker 3: you buy the car that you wanted. So there's a
Speaker 3: perfect example of a person who decides, Okay, I want
Speaker 3: to buy such and such a car and they end
Speaker 3: up with that car. Simple, right, But there's no way
Speaker 3: that they could have predicted in advance they're going to
Speaker 3: buy this car with this then number you understand what
Speaker 3: I mean. It's like there's a thousand cars that could
Speaker 3: have bought, but they end up with one. So it's
Speaker 3: at a matter of making choices each each moment of
Speaker 3: the day, each each step of the way.
