"Every belief, every value, every morality, is a form of violence... if you need proof, just watch your reaction when someone questions yours" (J Krishnamurti)

Humanistic Neuro-linguistic Psychology... By definition, it is the science of how the mind creates reality through language. Neuro... the physiological synapses and neurons of the body/mind. And linguistic... their connection to language. What words mean to you... and how you put them together... creates your story. And your story is your reality and it is not factual. By understanding this, one is able to change their reality with conscious intent. The father of hypnotherapy, Milton Erickson, was known to be able to help clients make dramatic changes just by telling them a story. Jesus Christ was known to frequently talk in parables and the entire scriptures reflect the power of story telling. You are living your story right now. If you are not pleased with your story, investigation is the only thing to do. Investigate to understand... to seek truth. Not necessarily to change. 

Neuro-linguistic Programming... Is the precursor to HNLP listed above. It is the science of how we structure all of our behaviors in patterns of thought and physiology. Understanding this, one can begin to see just how programmed we are. We really have no free will at all. We just respond according to our conditioning. Doesn't that make you Mad! The only free will that exists for you is in your ability to  change your programming... but you are not even aware of your programming because it all operates at a very unconscious level, just like the beating of your heart. 

The geniuses that developed this model for positive change, simply calibrate your physiology to different states of consciousness. In doing so, you can compare problem states and resource states. The idea is to find out HOW you do a problem (depression for instance), not why. In fact the why is irrelevant. But most people are very identified with the why of their problem, which is how it remains. Once the how is known, there are models created which re-pattern the how to a pattern that serves you better.

What does this mean for you? Nothing... unless you want to explore the truth of you.

"We see things and people not as they are... but as we  are" (Father A. DeMello)
