More on Learning

Before I begin let's get one thing cleared up. There are no visual people, auditory people or kinesthetic people. We use all of our representational systems. It's just a matter of what system you are using to communicate with at any given point and time.

When I sent to you my first post, I was offering you a suggestion inside of what I had written. If your desire is to have a powerful experience through experimentation, I can agree. Yet what you speak from is very old technology, a model that stems from the early days in NLP. Most of what I read on the net also mirrors the old technology.

What I am doing in my training now is very different than what is available in any written form. The size of the chunk I am using to teach from, after tuning everybody up so that they can process this information at the rate and size I am presenting, can not yet be represented in a reasonable amount of text, if it can be represented in text at all.

It's not to say that we can't write about it, but whether or not these present technologies can be taught without all of the supporting non-verbals, I do not know. I create such a tightly formed group inside of my training's that by the time we are past the first three hours, the individuals participating in that training are effectively communicating with each other with very few words. That is to say we are now past *mind reading* and are instead communicating with the entire human being, with most of this being non-verbal. The accuracy rate would truly boggle your mind. And this is testable!

When you say you want to play with your own experience, I would first recommend that you set up some sort of safety line. I used to spend a great deal of my time working with pathological psychotics. Each one, of course, was crazy in their own systematic observable way. The reason I was so effective with them was that I could step into their psychosis. Too many times though I found myself getting stuck in one of those models.

It took me a while to realize what it was I was doing, and when I did I built a powerful anchor so that I could easily get out. For me it was a sexual state that I had once experienced. I took this past image and brought into the present. Then I turned it up almost to threshold while attaching it to a sliding anchor on my left arm. Then in the future when I did enter into another completely different reality I could easily get out through this anchor. After a few experiences with this process it streamlined itself and getting out became automatic.

Now I want you to take into consideration what I am going to say next. Just say I wanted to have a powerful experience that had the following characteristics.

  • 1. It was much different than any of the ways that I normally experienced the world.
  • 2. Not only was it different but I could bring out of this experience something that would enhance the quality of my life in a useful way.
  • 3. That I could bring into this new experience a feeling of safety in the fact that what I was doing was based on a congruent decision to explore new territory.

After fully considering the above, with clarity and the congruent understanding that I was going to improve every single area of my life through this experience, I might then follow a process similar to the one below.

First I would bring up the representation I have that I need air to stay alive, that I need blood in my veins, that the sun is going to come up tomorrow. And as I did so I would also begin to amplify my internal experience of these representations by making the externally projected images bigger and bigger and bigger still yet. While all along bringing the voices and sounds that are a part of this experience closer as I turned them up!

Now I would allow the notion that I could suspend all of my beliefs for a while fly into this experience from every possible direction and as I did I would go even deeper into what it was I did not know, therefore allowing new experiences and ideas to flow in from the back of my mind.

After about fifteen minutes of this I would then fire my safety anchor and bring myself out only as quickly as I would integrate into my previous realities some of the learnings and understanding that were a part of and a part from this experience I was now coming out of.

If you set this up congruently it will definitely fit your criteria for a powerful experience. But it will wind up being more than just a powerful experience. It will be a tool, so that when you come up against any learning you could simply drop back down into this new reality and while there. . . think of all of the things you haven't thought of yet. . . that you could use to move past what it was that was in the way.

You could do this yourself or you could get a friend to help you. Remember congruency is the key. The verbal and the non-verbal need to match up, not just in the moment, but through time as well.

Have fun, learn, enjoy and most of all GO FOR LIFE!!!! Remember those who wait, wait! Those who make an impact on life are those who can step out of what they think they know. The movers, the inventors, the people who continue to discover what's not there. Because they are looking in a different direction than those who keep looking in the same place for what wasn't there yesterday. And guess what? They get exactly what they are looking for!!! You my friend are looking in new directions and you will find new things. What those things are I can't say, but then again neither could Einstein, he had to find out for himself.

It happens, I do get a bit carried away by my passion, but life is, I am, you are, let's do something worth doing. You pick yours, and as you can see I have chosen mine!

Until later
