Look Within
Everything and everyone is interconnected.
If you’ve studied any spiritual systems, you’ve probably heard or read: “We are all one.” Many of us in NLP have believed this for a long time, yet it was never really included as a basic belief or understanding. Again we can use quantum physics to bridge traditional NLP and spirituality. About 20 years ago, quantum physicists proved that reality is non-local. What does this mean? It means that in the world beyond the quantum level, cause-effect does not exist. There is no space. There is no time. This is not quantum theory, this is quantum fact!
About 60 years ago physicists observed something that was unexplainable. They were watching two photons flying around and found that each one seemed to know what the other was doing instantaneously. Their movements co-varied exactly. This observation caused a real problem for physicists because in order for them to communicate instantaneously, the information passing “between” them would have to be moving faster than the speed of light. According to Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity this was impossible. Taking this into account, they concluded and then proved that there had to be a deeper level of existence, outside of our three dimensional universe where everything is connected. The reason why the “two” particles knew where the other was going was because at a deeper level they were of the same holograph. It was only the scientists observations that made them appear separate. W are made of the same stuff as these particles. There is a deeper level of reality on which we are all connected. Mind (consciousness) is not rooted in any one place. It is omnipresent. This means we have access to all the information there is. It means that distance healing is possible and that the concept itself (distance) is a misnomer. It means we have a lot more to do with how the world is than what Newtonian physics led us to believe. We can heal each other by healing ourselves. We are all connected at the deepest level.
So, What’s Beyond NLP?
There certainly is a lot more going on than what we know -we know that for sure! We need to be willing to let go of certainty long enough to find out what is outside our map of reality. We need to go through a period of not knowing, to get to a new level of understanding. If we all have a map of reality, then that means there must be a edge to the map. For us, Humanistic Neuro-Linguistic Psychology is about finding out what is beyond this edge.

Field and Matter
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
Whether the electron “was” a wave or a particle all depended upon the context in which it was observed and how it was observed. In other words, reality at the deepest level is observer created. Quantum physics had dissolved the difference between “field and matter” or, for our purposes, thought and matter. They are one and the same.
The quantum “field” is unlimited potentiality. It is pure information and creativity. It has no form as we know it. It only exists as probabilities. The quantum field is referred to in many spiritual systems as the Void in Buddhism, the Akasha in Hinduism, the l’o in Hawaiian, to name a few which we have studied. It is everything that is, was, and will be simultaneously. In other words it is beyond time, space, matter and energy. Just think if you could learn to tap into this? You can. There are systematic ways to do this and they are easier than you might think!
How does creation occur?
Physicists say that what turns the quantum field into matter is measurement. Our observation is a measurement. In fact the words “matter” and “measurement” come from the same Greek root “metra” which meant “uterus.” Thought gives birth to matter through measurement. Our thoughts behave as wave forms until we identify with them. Before we have thoughts, pure potentiality exists. Once we have a thought and we put it into language (symbols, sounds and words), we are well on the way to creating a reality.
This is when we begin to make something out of nothing. Language is how we do it. Our language then becomes, in large part, our map for reality and it dictates how we perceive our reality. Look around. Everything that you can sense wherever you are right now,started with a thought (including you!).
The fact that you can sense it means that sufficient energy accompanied it, and as the thought developed its reality became more and more material. We create our own reality!

The brain seems to be organized along functional lines
Monday, March 23rd, 2009
How We Think
Current research would suggest this is not the case. The brain seems to be organized along functional lines rather than site specific lines. Memories appear to be a product of networks of bio-electrical waves that resonate throughout the mind-body, not specific sites.
The second conclusion was that everything we have ever experienced is recorded in our brain-and this is the one to which most of us in NLP allude. This is a useful belief to have, but hard to prove. And in most cases, easier to disprove.
The third conclusion is the least well known and perhaps the most significant: we are more than our memories, our brain and body. During the experiments Penfiéld would ask the patients about their memories and they would describe the experience in full detail. While they were experiencing the memory, they also had a simultaneous awareness of being in the operating room. Here’s the twister. Penfield would ask them if they could be fully in the memory or be fully in the operating room and found that they could easily shift between the two. When he asked them who was doing this, the person in the operating room or the one in memory, they answered that it was neither. It was what some call “the choice maker.” They experienced themselves as a witness or observer, a consciousness that operates through pure intention. In other words, someone one else was playing the instrument!
2. Reality is a construction
This notion gets to the heart of the matter (no pun intended). It all started around the turn of the 20th century when the field of (Newtonian) physics thought it had explained almost everything. Newtonian physics was based on the premise that everything (reality) could be reduced to little particles called atoms which had protons, neutrons and electrons. These were the basic building blocks of reality. It was logical, linear, organized, and it worked very well. This model created the foundation of all modern science, including medicine and psychology. A hundred years ago the only two things which they had to explain before physics would become a closed science was gravity and light. When they studied light, the neat and tidy world of Newtonian physics was rocketed into hyperspace. There was a big problem. When physicists studied light in its most elementary form called photons they discovered that sometimes light behaved as a particle (which they expected) and sometimes it behaved as a wave. To make matters worse, while an electron sometimes behaved as an object, physicists discovered it had no dimension!

A story about Gary
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
The emotionally shattered young woman who was literally carried into Gary De Rodriguez’ office by friends did not want to live. Weeks before, she and her fiancé were kayaking in a glacial cave in Alaska when an ice stalactite broke loose from the cave ceiling and struck the man on the head, killing him.
”When Juno died,” recalls Sue Harley, now of Denver, Colorado, “all my dreams and hopes, my whole future, died with him.”
De Rodriguez, founder of the Santa Fe, NM based Life Design International Training Center and creator of the Life Design Trainings, had a reputation for helping people use the untapped power of their mind to heal their body and spirit. For Harley, De Rodriguez was her last chance to live.
”I immediately knew I could trust him when I told him the story of Juno’s death, and he cried right along with me,” Harley said. “Then he helped me find my way back from total despair through a timeline process by showing me my future.” Through this gentle, powerful method of harnessing and directing the power of the mind, Harley said, she began to see more and more exciting reasons to keep on living. In the new future she was mentally creating, she saw an attractive man with an accent; children; a new home. By imagining these mental pictures, and feeling the joyful emotions that accompanied them, Harley began to embrace her future life with enthusiasm.
Six months after completing her work with De Rodriguez, Harley said she met a cute man from Australia – and the future she designed for herself became real.
As astounding as Harley’s physical and spiritual recovery was, De Rodriguez says each of us holds the key for such dramatic change in our minds.
“We choose our heaven or our hell inside of our own neurology,” De Rodriguez explains. “The pictures we’re mentally contemplating, the words we’re speaking in our internal dialogue, and the emotions we’re producing all become our reality and determine any limits to our success.”
De Rodriguez speaks from experience. He traveled a winding and uphill spiritual path to overcome the hurts of his past – child abuse, juvenile drug addiction, paralyzing depression, the agony of seeing friends waste away from AIDS. Fifteen years meditating three hours a day in an ashram in India didn’t heal the hurt or catapult him into spiritual bliss. Studying and teaching positive disciplines like “A Course In Miracles” helped, but didn’t fix everything. It wasn’t until De Rodriguez discovered the mental management tools of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that he was able to completely release the old pains and refocus his life.
”Realize that the brain is a computer,” De Rodriguez explains, “and NLP is very much the owner’s manual for the human body. It teaches us how we created our beliefs, our values, our individual perceptions and the foundation of our personality.” Through NLP technologies, says De Rodriguez, we can see how some aspects of our personalities cut to the very root of our ability to be successful. When we understand how we created those flawed thinking patterns, we can learn how to redirect them.
Deeply committed to helping to raise world consciousness, De Rodriguez built a complete spiritual element on top of basic NLP to create Life Design Trainings – his system of using the mind-body connection to achieve excellence in every aspect of life. His unique approach is being embraced by people from all walks of life, including professionals seeking to establish a more balanced and successful career path.
Los Angeles Attorney Sylvia Esquivel said De Rodriguez helped her gain a better understanding of how differently each person sees the world based on their past experiences.
”Once you understand this of yourself,” she says, “you can understand that other people have their own perspectives which are not right or wrong, but which are or may be different. Becoming aware of this alone is priceless — and it helps in releasing one’s point of view of ‘I’m right, he is wrong’ in personal, business or other types of interactions.”
For a successful San Diego Realtor who participated in De Rodriguez’ 12-day Life Design Training Practitioner certification program, the biggest benefit was a dramatic shift in his ability to solve problems.
”If I got stuck on something, I had lots of different options I didn’t know about before,” he said. As a result, the Realtor says, things that previously would bother him no longer have power, and he’s more confident, happier and able to build instant rapport with prospective clients.
”Where most training programs fail is they never teach the individual how to manage their own internal state,” says Rodriguez. “They put on blanket Band-Aids – ‘this technique is for diversity, and this technique is for communicating.’ But that training is all about your external behavior – and what’s happening internally is what’s driving the external behavior.
”What they’re doing is putting a Band-Aid over the already established ACT. They’re trying to shift behavior at the behavioral level, and you can NEVER shift behavior at the behavioral level. You must use the power of the mind to permanently shift behaviors.”
Psychotherapist Adam Colson interacts daily with homeless and destitute people.
“A huge challenge in my work is establishing rapport with down-on-their-luck individuals, and working with them to shift their mental outlook and create well-focused goals,” Colson says. “I’ve studied many different forms of therapy, and Life Design Training techniques help people change their behaviors more quickly and effectively than anything else I’ve tried.”
“If people had just the basic mental tools,” said De Rodriguez, “they could start improving their lives immediately. Where they get into the most pain is feeling like they don’t have choices. I desire to teach people they have the resources and choices to choose a different road, and a magnificent future.”
