I don't know if everyone is now using their brains to learn as quickly as you are now learning, but I do know that everyone can. That is if they can get over their education, the things they think they know.

Jackie, I once posted this long post where I gave examples of how long it took me to go from not knowing about something to being able to skillfully do that something. Things like how I went from not knowing much about aviation to getting a pilot's license in seven days. I talked about getting my first class FCC ticket. I made a decision on a Monday, with zero knowledge or experience on what I needed to know to pass the test, and on Thursday I had the ticket in my hand. When I was nineteen I decided to open a television/VCR service center. At the time all I knew about televisions was how to turn them on. It took me one week to go from an idea to having the store open for business. Two weeks later I was running an authorized Sony service center. I ran the business for about six months and sold it for a nice profit. I talked about working as an field engineer in the area of RF communication. About how at twenty years of age I went from zero knowledge and skill, and in less than thirty days was handed the responsibility for maintaining and upgrading the entire communications network for Broward County, Florida. At the time that grid consisted of every municipality in the Fort Lauderdale, Pompano, and Hollywood areas.

The discussion I posted this information to had to do with learning. I had said that I can watch someone do something one time, ask a few questions, and within a couple of days I would be able to mirror the task. And in most cases I would be able to outperform the person I had modeled in that task.

When I posted this information I was merely offering examples of how I was able to use what I know to effectively learn anything that I wanted to learn very quickly. What I found interesting at the time were the responses that were generated by what I had posted, and there were quite a few. One women actually attacked me as a pompous, egotistical ass. All I was doing was sharing some of my experiences inside of the topic of learning. Then there were them who responded telling me that what I was saying couldn't be done. And I had already done it, time and time again.

Then there were those who tried to tell me that even if I was learning things as fast I said I was, the quality of what I was learning had to suffer as I wasn't giving the information enough time to sink in. Think about it. Here I was saying "Look, listen, here are some examples of what can be done when you learn how to learn the way I have learned to learn." That for me, NLP/DHE(TM) are level three learning methodologies that allow me to learn new ways of learning on a continuing basis. Sure, the therapeutic applications are there, but that doesn't even begin to sell, there are enough people out there who want what you are selling - go and find them. This way you can accomplish what you want to accomplish, and you never have to convince anybody of anything. I have never convinced anyone to take any of my trainings. Whether the trainings were on photoreading, hypnosis, NLP, non-verbal communication, the art of metaphor, I didn't set out to convince. There are enough people out there who can see and are willing to grasp an opportunity.

As for the future, I will regress to much more useful understandings, unlike anybody who wants to argue with me about what I can already do, and the possibilities of what I think we have yet to be able to do. All of this without first trying it on. Well, in my old vocabulary I would have simply called them assholes. May not be the most sophisticated and eloquent term, but it works for me. I know, NLP teaches us that people are always doing the best they can. But I don't think that presupposition was designed to be used as an excuse to continue doing it. And if so, when I say these are assholes, I can also say, "But I was doing the best that I could do."

Keep on keep'n on

Oh! BTW, I was thinking, since I can do all of these really neat things that I have learned how to do, the things that people say that I can't do. Well, since they say I can't and I really can, I can use them and they will never see it coming. Hmmmmmmmm...now that's an idea!
