“I knew that in telling her story to the audience, she was helping others to see some part of themselves in her. Those hearing her journey might then believe it would be possible for them to accomplish the same.”
This quote from the introduction reflects Joe Dispenza’s belief in the power of stories to demonstrate to others what is possible, thereby helping them to create the same results in their own lives. It introduces his core motivation for writing this book: inspiring others to become supernatural using the tools provided and in one’s own mind and biology. He also mentions this moment to reflect a personal shift in his mindsight regarding his teachings, in which he realizes the effect his work is having on the lives of others and shifts his attention away from convincing the skeptics.
“In fact, in the last four years my team of researchers, my staff, and I have gone through extensive strides to scientifically measure, record, and analyze these transformations in people's biology to prove to the world that common people can do the uncommon.”
Here, Dispenza introduces the book’s aim and purpose: scientifically measuring and quantifying seemingly unexplainable metaphysical phenomena. He mentions this in the introduction to emphasize his role as not only a spiritual teacher but also a scientist and researcher, lending ethos and credibility to the principles outlined in the book. His use of words such as “measure, record, and analyze” and “prove” are reflective of scientific methodology, reflecting a sense of certainty in his work and teachings and prompting the reader to more readily accept them.
