Today's meeting presented the idea that one of the threads common to all NLP interventions is moving the ourselves or our clients from a present state to a desired state. We explored this idea by comparing several NLP patterns, and across many contexts, and asking:
Last night I met up with a friend I met through a mastermind group, and who is also an NLPer at heart. He was on a trek to the Burning Man event in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, stopping in Utah on the way there from the East Coast.
We had a great time eating and talking about manifesting great things, and in modeling great individuals and social ideas that actually work. World-class stuff. He was really excited to be rubbing shoulders with some of the iconic leaders of internet marketing while there, and as I became more and more interested in that story, I also became more intrigued about the story of Burning Man, itself. A few years back, I had seen a small vignette of Burning Man on HBO, but when I went out to their website, it was clear that the event is growing tremendously, while its meaning continues to deepen and reach a world-wide audience.
It's always a slippery slope to try to dissect a great leader of anything, because it brings out the fight in people, but I couldn’t resist replying to a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) forum post on whether Richard Bandler could be modeled. Here is my irreverent reply:
NLP Practitioners everywhere LOVE the movie Inception. Have you seen it yet? I've seen it twice already.

Ecological wisdom does not consist in understanding how to live in accord with nature; it consists in understanding how to get humans to agree on how to live in accord with nature.
The Ego and the Eco
If the one constant in life is change, and if NLP is all about facilitating positive change, then shouldn’t we as NLPers understand the nature of change, types of change, and when each type is effective? In this blog entry, I want to talk about several types of Change of the First Order.
This product uses binaural technology and dissociative rhythms to massage the brain into a relaxed state, and then bring you back feeling invigorated.
Dissociative rhythms produce a cyclical pattern between the left and right auditory channels and accelerate the entrainment process.
Powerful enough to use on a weekly basis, this really entrains the brain into relaxation.
Like me, you may have friends and connections on a mission to “raise consciousness”, as though this would be the solution to the world’s problems. Other friends of mine never give consciousness a thought, or simply just dismiss the topic of consciousness as something new age people talk about a lot.
A successful strategy for carrying out a task. A skill. Capabilities are one of the Neurological Levels.
