Why do you say NLP is a science?

This information is not metaphysical mumbo jumbo or blind faith. It’s how the neurology works.  If you know how something works, you can do things to adjust it.  But if you don’t know how your own nervous system works, how you encode your reality, how your past influences you, how you program yourself, then there’s no way to really drive the vehicle of your life in the direction of your heart’s desire. People are floundering out in the world and creating immense suffering which is passed to their children for generation after generation.  Before you know it we have a complete world of dysfunctional people who are in intense pain who will die for the rightness of their illusions.  My vision is to unravel the stories of the past to awaken people to their fullest potential.

How are you different than other NLP Master Practitioners?

I’m different because I am 100% totally committed to changing people’s lives for the better. I desire to help people who, by their own example, can create a community of positive, resourceful, focused and successful people.  They can go out there and positively inspire their families, their friends, and who knows, maybe thousands and thousands of people that I’ll never see or touch.  All it takes is a small group of committed people to change the world.  And that’s the only thing that ever has.

It sounds like you’re putting a spiritual spin on it.

That’s true.  I really believe NLP is just a prop for me to talk about this creative force we call God.  Because above and beyond all of the technology that NLP teaches is another whole level of existence, which is our spiritual body, our spiritual essence, which is why we’re actually here.  But we cannot access those qualities inside of ourselves if our mind is filled with fear, unresolved negative emotions and the drama of our past. 

Until we can literally quiet that fear, we can’t access the truth about ourselves.  So my whole premise is to first give people the tools to quiet their minds so that the natural propensity to be who we are can rise to the surface.  Otherwise people will be in too much fear to be able to quiet themselves enough to do the spiritual work they came here to do. 

So for me everything I’m doing is about building the foundation, how to take people from “I know nothing” to “These are practical skills so I can have more options, so that I’m not totally locked in to my internal hell, and I can start making different choices about myself, my life and my world.”  Once they have that, there’s another whole level of teaching that has to happen. I know this because in my experience, I meditated for years and years, anticipating these huge spiritual awakenings.  I had minor ones, I had unique experiences that are paranormal, but the predominance of my meditation time was stuck in my head, rattling around my past and trying to quell the deep, deep emotions that were running my life. 

I tried for years and years to be this spiritual guy. I went to India; I studied with a guru.  I was meditating two and a half hours a day, from 3 to 5:30 EVERY morning for 15 years and you know what?  It was painful.  And I could not achieve the spiritual level I felt I should be reaching in the spiritual discipline I was involved in because my mind and emotions were completely out of control.

But the instruction I was given at the time was just “Keep meditating, brother.  Just keep meditating.  Use your mantras.”  And I’m like, “No!”  I’m in total agony about my mother, I’m in total agony about my father, and all these incest issues – I got all these repressed sexual feelings, I can’t cope with any of it.  Sitting for two and a half hours at 3 in the morning and falling asleep half the time is NOT going to resolve the issues!  It is about working at the level of the mind with the tools of the mind – that’s how you can awaken who you really are.  So until we can quiet our minds, we really can’t get to our hearts.  And that’s the whole reason I teach what I teach.

Do your teachings go beyond the basic NLP model?

The Master Practitioners at my Center and I teach a whole Life Design^© process – that we can redesign our lives in alignment with a higher reason and a higher function.  But until we’re able to really do it and heal the voices of our past we won’t be able to progress

The more that we continue to dwell on things we can’t do or things from our past, the more we become entrenched in the negatives.  So the focus of our mind is really the definition of our heaven or hell.  And if 97% of the 60,000 thoughts we think a day are about our past, then all we’re doing in our future is simply recreating the structure of our past.

Life Design is literally the tool to quiet the voices of our past so we can wake up to the natural stillness and the natural spirituality that we all are.

Are some people turned off by your focus on spirituality?  Do they think you’re advocating a particular religious doctrine?

Spirituality is not about a denomination or a structure or methodology of practicing worship of God, whatever that is to you.  It could be anything – it could be the wind, it could be Buddha, it could be Mohammad, it could be Christ – it could be anything.  But it’s something bigger than our egos; something larger than the definition of our personality.  When we create a reference point that is   something larger than our ego and our personality, then we start to live at a higher frequency.

How do your Life Design teachings facilitate that?

Our personality is very much like a glass of milk.  When the milk is stirred, meaning when the mind is restless, we’re constantly, habitually thinking about the past.  We think 60,000 thoughts a day, and 97% of them are about the past.  We’re constantly thinking, dwelling, perceiving, interpreting our future through the lens of our past, so that all we really see is our reaction to our unhealed emotional issues from our past in our future, so we keep recreating it.  That’s like the milk being stirred. 

We’re constantly being reactivated neurologically — we’re reactivated by what we perceive through the five senses.  Everything we see, hear, touch, taste or smell, we’re filtering through what memories it evokes from our past. When we still that, when we still the unresolved negative emotions from our past experiences, we reinterpret the internal voices so they’re our cheering section for our success rather than a booing section for what we have as our perceived failures. 

We can turn that around and change that, systematically, scientifically and neurologically, through reimprinting our nervous system through the three principal learning channels of visual, auditory and kinesthetic.  When we do that with the assistance of NLP and Life Design training we still the milk.  When the milk becomes still, then the cream naturally rises to the surface, the richness of who we are naturally comes to the surface.  We don’t have to learn how to be loving or spiritual beings – we already are. It’s the restlessness and the endless jabbering of our minds and our egos, our defenses, our pasts and our distorted filters that cause us not to function from the essence of who we naturally are – which is love.

Language of disempowerment.  Our subconscious mind takes it literally, we’ve been speaking in forms of language that we hear around us daily.  We are often unaware of what we are actually programming into the subconscious.  Our goal is to use language as outcome oriented, first person accountable moving in the direction of our heart’s desire.  When we use the language of disempowerment we keep our thoughts and emotions in a place of stagnation.

 

Examples of the language of disempowerment: I want and I wish.  Everybody say I want.  Now say My choice is.  How does it feel?  Does it feel different energetically?  Yes!  The volume totally went up.  Now say I require.  I need.  I want.  Now say I require.  Which has more power?  I need.  I desire.  Desire means from the Latin root for the father.  I want and I need literally means more desire without ever having the outcome.  That’s what it literally translates to.  Yes, it’s an outcome in the way it’s languaged is that because you’re wanting it and the subconscious takes your language literally and personally, you can continue wanting it for a very, very long time.  But when you say my choice is, I create my divine partnership, by this date, that’s something quite different than wanting to get married.  What you do is you actually take the infinite power of your subconscious, which is 1 with 8 million miles of half inch zeros, and you go snap – go there!  When you sit in the emotional state of actually feeling that your lover is actually there and you fall asleep at night and you feel your lover’s breath on the back of your neck and you go to sleep in the emotional state of already being in that committed relationship – because before you go to sleep at night is the seed time of the subconscious mind.  Your subconscious processes that emotion for 6 to 8 hours.  What do you think that does?  When you go to sleep in loneliness, in tearfulness about what is not, what do you think your subconscious mind processes for 6 to 8 hours?  For more direct manifestation of what you will experience the following day and have evidence of.  You will see it when you believe it!  We believe it first and then we see it.  So that’s the difference between want and I choose.

 

I’m not.  As soon as you hear I’m not coming out of your mouth cancel, clear, which I’ll teach you in just a little bit, and go I am.  Whenever you’re speaking about I’m not, whenever you use that, you’re going to go into your story immediately.  You’re talking about what you’re moving away from rather than what you’re moving toward.  Remember that when you’re speaking about what you’re moving away from you’re in your story and you’re giving mental focus to what you’re moving away from rather than what you’re moving toward.  So it’s very important that I’m not is a huge red flag for you that you’re going into your story and you’re speaking at the temple and you’re praying at the temple of what you’re moving away from.

 

I would.  I will.  I must and I’ve got to.  How many of you do that one?  I choose to, I can’t, I will, I should, I will, I will try, I will, I hope, my choice is, I don’t know – how many of you say I don’t know?  Big time.  So I don’t know is replaced by I’ll find out, I choose to know.  You make me.  I love that one.  In the context of relationships…how many of you have been in relationships where your partner says, ‘You make me…’  You know you’re in trouble.  I create for myself.  Let me.  From whom are we asking permission?  It’s hard.  It’s a challenge.  It’s an opportunity.  So if it has been difficult for you in the past and you choose to claim it as an opportunity, because in reality if it’s been difficult for you in the past it is literally an opportunity to strengthen those parts of you that have been atrophied so it can become easy.  Is that true?  So it is literally an opportunity.

 

If all else fails.  That means you are starting on the worst possible case scenario which means that is the temple you are praying at and that’s what you will get more of.  My highest choice is, at least I’ll be able to…  What if you said, at most I’ll be able to….  What would that be like?  Where would your mind be?  What I’m speaking about is literally the minutiae of your thought patterns.  This becomes an active system of meditation through your use of language.  When you do this your life completely changes because your thinking must shift.  It must shift with the language and it becomes an active meditation 24 hours a day.  And as you apply this, your life completely metamorphoses because your thinking does, therefore your reality.  At least, at most.  If/then.  If you go to the dog pound with me, then I’ll buy you lunch.  My choice is I’ll buy you lunch.  When/then.  When my choice is.  Almost/kind of.  I’ll kind of marry you.  I’ll almost marry you.  Is that a commitment?  Do you feel empowered?  You replace that with it is, you are, and that will get you there.  Specifically speak about what it is.  When you take those vague qualities out of your languaging you become more directed, more direct and more committed.  When you are consistently speaking about how something will be and you refuse to claim it now, first of all it’s a fear of feelings.  When you claim it now, you bring it into manifestation and creation now.

 

I keep hammering this one point.  Speak toward, speak toward, speak toward.  Stay out of the story.  If you find yourself going to the I’m not and all the negations you know you’re going into your story.  That’s your red flag.  What you are dwelling on you are creating more of.  Whatever your mind thinks about habitually, you are creating the neurosynaptic networks in your head that create the perceptual filters which makes up how you will immediately respond to the world.  This is how you created your reality.  This is how you created you to be you.  So the more you actually focus on where you’re moving instead of the story about where you’ve been, you create your life out of your heart’s desire. 

 

We can no longer stand in the light of the victim archetype which is cultural through our entire world.  Time is speeding up.  How many of you know the planet is slowing down in rotations?  That the particles rotating around the nucleus of the atoms is actually speeded up.  That the entire foundation of all we know to be real has accelerated.  Does this have an effect on you, then we are manifesting quicker than ever before and that means either heaven or hell.  That’s why this information I feel is very important to get out there.  Unless we provide the conscious choice of the words, feelings and imagination to direct our subconscious mind our habitual, ancestrally influenced thinking and our language which represents that thinking will direct our subconscious mind for us.  The choice we make moment to moment is do we create from our potential outcome or from our past limitations.  We make our choice with every word we speak or think.  Our words are our representation of our thinking.  Our thinking represents the focus of our minds.  The focus of our minds is our prayer.  Whatever your mind focuses upon is the temple at which you are praying.  I love that page.  Transformational choices.  My highest choice leaves our highest vision for the event, circumstance or person as the last thing on the screen of our minds.  I make up, I give meaning to, gives us the reality of being accountable for the filters we perceive our life and relationship through.  I choose: expression of our will and identity moving toward our outcome.  I can: expression of our identity, our will and our potential in choosing our outcome.  I have brings a desired state to now, collapses time from the future to the present.  I am; expression of identity claiming the emotional state of our desire fulfilled.  I create; expression of identity claiming our divine right as co-creators.
