Introduction

... You and I belong to a species witha remarkable ability: we can shapeevents in each others brains with

exquisite precision. Simply bymaking noises with our mouths, we

can reliably cause precise newcombinations of ideas to arise in each

others minds.

Steven Pinker [1994]

Neuro-Linguistic Programming


5/153

Neuro-linguistics holisticallysummarizes the body-mind

connectionbetween language

[words, symbols, etc.] andneurology. It specifies how our

neurology [i.e., nervous systemand brain] process language and

thereby respond to language.


6/153

Words, while totally powerless to

effect and change external

reality, have almost completepower to create, alter, change,

destroy and invent internalreality.

...neuroscientists have learned that thoughtsare electrical impulses that trigger electrical andchemical switches in the brain. Thoughts are not

just psychological in nature, they arephysiological - electrochemical triggers that

direct and affect the chemical activity.

When given an electrical command - a thought -the brain immediately does several things: It

responds to the thought by releasing appropriate

control chemicals into the body, and it alerts thecentral nervous system to any required response

or action. Shad Helmstetter

Perception differs qualitativelyfrom the physical properties of

the stimulus.

The Soul Illusion


10/153

"I want you to realize that there

exists no color in the natural world,and no sound - nothing of this kind;no textures, no patterns, no beauty,

no scent."

Sounds, colors, patterns,etc., appear to have an independentreality, yet are, in fact, constructedby the mind. All our experience of

the natural world is our mindsinterpretation of the input it

receives. Sir John Eccles

14/153

We experience the phenomenonof sight, sounds and sensations.


15/153

Above and beyond the sensory

level representation we have

sensory-based words.


16/153

Non-sensory based language

refers to all language that

becomes more abstract as wedelete more of the specific

sensory words and generalize to

a higher level.


17/153

When we go meta to a higher

logical level of symbolization

and use more abstract words, weuse a different kind of

representational system, a non-

sensory based modality.


18/153

In any social environment, we

have to use language which then

influences and effects the life ofthe system: enhancing and/or

limiting, creating and/or

destroying.


19/153

Our language both reflects anddescribes our model of the world.


20/153

Words influence because they

evoke us to createrepresentations within our minds

at multiple levels.


21/153

The magic is in the code.

Modeling


25/153

Modeling consists of using toolsthat have their origins in

Artificial Intelligence [AI],

linguistics and cognitive scienceresearch with the goal of making

a model of excellent behavior, fortransfer to other persons.

Language so fills our world that

we move through it as a fish

swims through water.

A transformation is an explicit

statement of one kind of pattern

that native speakers recognizeamong the sentences of their

language.

Generalization is the process by

which elements or pieces of apersons model become detachedfrom their original experience

and come to represent this entirecategory of which the experienceis an example. Our ability to

generalize is essential to copingwith the world.


44/153

Deletion is a process by which

we selectively pay attention tocertain dimensions of ourexperiences and exclude others.An example would be the abilitythat people have to filter out orexclude all other sound in a roomfull of people talking in order to

listen to one particular personsvoice.


45/153

Distortion is a process that

allows us to make shifts in ourexperience of sensory data.Fantasy, for example, allows us

to prepare for experiences thatwe may have before they occur.All the great novels, all therevolutionary discoveries of thesciences involve the ability to

distort and misrepresent reality.


46/153

Every Belief is a limit to be

examined.

Reframing

The most fundamental goal of

applying verbal patterns is to help

people shift their perspective:

1) from aproblem to an outcome,

2) from afailure to feedback, and3) from an impossibility to an as

if.


48/153

The Language ofSpecificity

For precision and clarity or to

deframe.

The Language ofEvaluation

To construct new realities &

frames


50/153

Meaning[semantics] exists

only, and exclusively, in the

mind.


51/153

This doesnt mean this ---> It means this!

Not X --------> but Y


52/153

The language ofevaluation-

of-evaluation

Allows you to outframe all

meanings and frames

54/153

Language describes how we

code, in various symbol formats,information.


55/153

Information is the difference that

makes a difference.

Gregory Bateson


56/153

Creation ofMeaning


57/153

Giving or attributing meaning to

something [to anything] involves

and associative process.


58/153

To identify meaning we have tofind the associations.


59/153

Fire means what the frame ofreference tells us it means.

68/153

Nothing in and of itself means

anything.

It takes a Meaning Maker toconstruct an association, set a

frame, link events and marry

concepts.

There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked

his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away.

Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Suchbad luck," they said sympathetically. "May be," the

farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned,

bringing with it three other wild horses. "How

wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed. "May be," replied

the old man. The following day, his son tried to ride one ofthe untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The

neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his

misfortune. "May be," answered the farmer. The day

after, military officials came to th

e village to draft youngmen into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken,

they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the

farmer on how well things had turned out. " May be,"

said the farmer.

model the way the world works,

functions, relates to itself, etc.

decide and model regarding

meaning, what abstractionsequate with behaviors, our

paradigms of significance

assumptions that we simplyoperationalize as true

To elicit this conversational

reframing pattern, use the elicitationquestions that move a person down

the scale of abstraction/specificity.

How specifically?

What specifically?

When specifically?With whom specifically?

At what place specifically?

82/153

To elicit this reframingpattern, use the

strategy elicitation questions:

How do you represent that belief?

How will you know if and when it doesnot hold true?

What comes first? What comes next?

How do you have each piece coded?And youre absolutely sure you dont

have that in this other format?

Outframing Summary

A man wanted to know about mind, not in


140/153

,

nature, but in his computer. He asked Do you

compute that you will ever think like a humanbeing?

The machine then set to work to analyze its

own computation habits. Finally, the machineprinted its answer on a piece of paper, as such

machines do. The man ran to get the answer

and found neatly typed, the words: That

reminds me of a story.
