Spiritual NLP Blog | Neuro-Linguistic Programming | Change Your Life | Gary de Rodriguez, Dallas, TX

Did you know that just by simply imagining vividly, specifically, till you felt it to be real, your nervous system wouldn’t know the difference.  How many of you can terrify yourself?  How many of you can put yourself into bliss?  You do it the exact same way.  Vivid imagination, imagining it till you feel it to be real, and it becomes real for you.  How can you use this to take the chariot of your mind and direct it toward your home.  So my invitation to you is, pick up the reins and steer your horses via your language and your imagination.

 

Are you beginning to see that, when you begin to harness the power of the imagination and the power of your language, your life can metamorphose and truly, in my experience, whatever else I have done which has been valuable, has fallen in importance and power because I have yet in the past to clean up the thing that is consistently programming my emotional states which is my imagination and my language.  I’ve hung out naked for a week with a team of people screaming and tearing apart futons about the rage about their parents.  How much more can you do?  I’ve been celibate for 15 years eating nothing but tofu and green beans meditating 3 and a half hours a day from 3 till 6 in the morning every day for 15 years going for god.  And I’m here to say that, no matter what I have done to wake myself up, this has been the most important generative thing I have done.  Because, for me to be able to sit in meditation, in order for me to sustain an emotional state strong enough to have me get value by being able to still my mind in meditation… if my mind is running amok for 22 hours a day, what makes me think I’m going to be able to still it in 2.  This information sustains and supports everything.  This is the foundation which we are required to stand on because it is the foundation of mindfulness, of living our lives with purpose and with mindfulness.  Live your life as if every word is a prayer coming into reality because speaking is your self fulfilling prophecy. So is your imagination.  Whatever you are focused upon you are still sitting under your wishing tree and you will manifest it.  Either it is the monster will the long fangs that is a meat eater and will devour you or it is your beautiful princess or prince in a palace.  Either one – god just looks down and says Yes!  You are using your god-given ability to create.  You go for it.  That is tying the legs of your camels and then surrendering.  It’s time to do it.

 

We’re going to do a process called the theater of change.  It’s based on the NLP phobia technique and one of my thoughts is that we are this amazing being that has a whole series of pictures, sounds and feelings via our internal representational systems and that these internal representational systems act as drivers for much of our behavior and how we hold our reality.  What we’re going to do is we’re going to shift the pictures, sounds and feelings of your past.  It’s going to happen by partnering with me.  Any work that is ever done with a client that I do is you take 50% of the responsibility, as do I.  I will set up the environment for you to make the change and you’re the one who makes the change based upon the focus of your mind and your desire to have it be so.

 

So those of you who have had in the past the seemingly poor visualization skills, you actually have great visualization skills.  Just take the specific modality that you’re representing your experiences from, whether it’s kinesthetic or auditory, give a symbol to what those sounds or those feelings are and visualize that way.  Remember, the subconscious takes things very metaphorically and symbolically.  We’re going to enter a theater of your past.  You wrote the movie, you starred in it, you produced it.  You are the maker of the internal representations of your entire experience from conception to now.  You made it up.

 

So when you’re ready to just allow yourself to go into a more focused and concentrated state within yourself, allow your eyes to close.  Uncross your arms and your legs so the energy flows freely in your body and we’re going to go inside, deeper than you’ve gone before, allowing yourself the opportunity to begin to allow those parts of you that know how to change begin to change.  And what I’d like to suggest to your collective subconscious minds is that it now has an opportunity to begin to meet its highest prime directive by allowing the unresolved emotions from your past in a process that can be very quick and very powerful to begin to shift and change the unresolved emotions of the past in a way that is easy and comfortable, knowing that the highest prime directive of the subconscious mind is to preserve the body.  And as I speak to your collective subconscious I’d like to suggest to your subconscious to know that any stress caused by unresolved emotions is less than optimal for the human body.  So as your subconscious begins to understand the opportunity it has, your conscious mind can begin to drift, drifting to a place of focused concentration where your conscious mind can begin to let go.  That’s right.  Just letting go in a way that’s right for you.  Letting go in a way that is comfortable for you as your subconscious begins to understand the opportunity it has now.  So as your body begins to relax, allowing all the sounds you hear, the tone, the tempo of my voice, the sound of your breath entering and exiting your body, allowing yourself to feel the surface on which you’re sitting, awareness of how your hands, your arms, your legs, your feet are and allowing a sensation of just letting go and going deep, deep and even deeper into the state of awareness of the many different wonders within yourself.  And as you continue to focus your mind, imagine that you are now in a theater, a theater looking up at the screen and as you look at that screen, sitting in the theater, imagine a part of you, the observer part, the part of you that’s in control, lifts up out of that body sitting in the theater, and sits in the projection room of that theater.  And imagine now being in the projection room looking down at your body watching the screen and just breathe and be there with me in the theater of your own mind.  We’re going to review a film.  This is the film of your life.  You starred in it, you produced it, you directed it.  You’re going to edit it now.  I’d like to suggest to your subconscious mind that all of the positive learnings, all of the positive learnings from your life, is preserved in that place that you retain for such learnings.  Allowing all of those learnings beautifully and generatively contribute to your life from this point forward.  Allowing your subconscious mind through the internal representations that you have carried up to now to begin to shift and change in such a way that allows you now to have a different set of pictures, sounds and feelings which promote and produce the necessary internal representations to fulfil your life purpose in the optimum manner, according to your destiny.

So there were about 150 people in the room and I thought, ‘I can do this.  I’m real transformed, I’ve done all this work, I’ve got it together.’  So I go up there and I’m sitting on the stool and he asked me just one question, ‘Why are you here?’  I said something like, ‘I’m here to transform myself and gain all the tools I require to heal every person I meet and transform the planet.’

 

A lot of people speak like that, right?  So a box of Kleenex and an hour and a half later I got to why I was there.  Have you ever sat witnessing a person’s resistence?  It can be frustrating.  It’s like, ‘Would you just get to it.’  I’m sitting up there and at one point I said, ‘I’m not safe.  I’m not doing this.’  I was speaking that kind of dysfunctional language then.  I was upset.  I had yet to get to what it was and I could feel people’s thought forms being projected toward me from the audience.  I stopped everything and said, ‘If you think I’m going to undress and be naked in front of these people who have judgment, you are nuts.  This space is not safe.’  So what he did was he had everybody stop and repeat silently within themselves, ‘I stand in my light for your victory, Gary.’  And he did that and within ten minutes I got to it.  So do the thought forms of the room affect the person speaking?  Absolutely.

 

What I finally got to, and this is something we’ll be getting to today, from this grandiose, non-personalized conversation I was having about my outcome for being there I got to, I was there to receive the divine love of my mother and my father.  That’s a really big distance from healing the planet.  When I spoke it, every cell in body resonated because in reality that is why I was there.  I was feeling under-loved and under-acknowledged by my parents.  In reality we all have a similar core wound.  So this is what it means to be a committed listening.  When someone is speaking and they’re having a challenge, rather than judge use consciousness in a creative way that heals and by your thoughts think your highest thought for them – and it is a complete gift to yourself.

 

Presuppositions of our higher consciousness – I’m going to read these off and just plow right through them.  As I read these presuppositions they are other than the truth.  It is a choice of perception.  Did you know that the whole theory of evolution is a complete assumption with no empirical data to back it up?  So these are assumptions.  They are perceptions.  They are choice of seeing. 

 

1.  Our higher consciousness matures in wisdom through our life experience.

2.  Our higher consciousness is directly accessible depending upon the focus of our attention.

 

3.  Our higher consciousness has access to information beyond the conscious mind or the subconscious mind.

 

Presuppositions of our conscious mind

 

1.  Our conscious mind has the power of choice.

 

2.  Our conscious mind has conditioned free will to direct or be directed.

 

3.  Our conscious mind can choose unconsciousness or consciousness.  How many of you know that you can just go right to sleep – you can choose to just blank out.

 

4.  Our conscious mind can suppress or express from the subconscious.

 

Presuppositions of our subconscious mind

 

Our subconscious mind has 1 with 8 million miles of half-inch zeros behind it of possibility.  We use about 10% of our mental capacity.  The other 90% lies in the subconscious.  When we learn how to direct it we become very much more potentialized.  I likened the human condition to a chariot.  The horses are the horses of our mind; the chariot is our body.  The charioteer is our spirit and the reins that direct it is our imagination and our language.  When we pick those up we can direct our lives.  Some of our horses are wandering perilously toward a cliff.  Some of them are just hanging out in a field and chomping away and refuse to move.  And some are just wandering aimlessly.  It’s about directing it.

 

1.  Our subconscious mind stores memories temporally and atemporally.

 

2.  Our subconscious mind takes language literally. 

 

3.  Our subconscious mind plays back what it receives like a computer.  So what you are constantly languaging in your internal dialog and your external speech, your subconscious mind is taking it literally and will feed it back like a computer. 

 

4.  Our subconscious mind responds to feelings.

 

5.  Our subconscious mind responds to repetition very much like a record.  We run this groove and whatever we are habitually thinking that is the reality we will live in.

 

6.  Our subconscious mind runs the body through the autonomic nervous system. 

 

7.  The subconscious mind is a highly moral being and it prompts us to be a highly moral being.  It is the part of us that says, ‘Please don’t do that.’ 

 

8.  Our subconscious mind attracts experiences to us according to our beliefs. 

 

I was asked to teach something about how people get that they make up their own reality.  I talked for a couple of hours about filters and how we make up our own reality and the meaning we give something creates our heaven or our hell.  So I hired a strapping stud and this beautiful woman to come in and strip to Aretha Franklin.  After 3 hours of lecture I told the class, ‘I’m going to provide you an experience.  Take notes and write down how you’re filtering and giving meaning to this experience so that you see the reality you’re giving it actually creates your own reality and many other people will get a different sense and a different interpretation and therefore will create a whole different response. You’ll really get it.’  So the strippers came in and took off their clothes down to a g-string and they left.  Some people thought it was the most amazing experience.  Other people blew out of the training saying, ‘This is the most unprofessional – I can’t believe I was subjected to this.’  The meaning you give something is the heaven or the hell that you make up.  It’s all made up. 

More to come tomorrow.
