So when we know that we are making it up and we’re with someone else and we know they’re making it up, it’s a really wonderful thing to take personal accountability for the emotional states you create in yourself based upon how you’re filtering the world.  What is the difference between the internal dialog and the language that you send out?  Your internal dialog is richer with content, you have a tendency to filter more on the outside.  Have you ever seen people who have lost the filter to discriminate what comes out of their mouth.  It’s generally people downtown standing on Broadway who are screaming obscenities at someone who is not there.  They’ve lost the filter to actually discriminate what comes out of their mouth.  They’re just speaking from what’s in here now. 

 

When you stop saying it, do you stop thinking it?  The premise is that, if it does not exist in language, it does not exist in thinking.  Just like the tribe in the Philippines who have no word for war.  They’ve never been at war.  If we have no symbol to represent it it won’t exist here.  When we step out of languaging from I want and I need and I’m trying, which is all out of the victim archetype, and we step into I choose and I am, what happens?  Emotionally inside of us we step into a place of ‘I’m choosing this from a power within myself of personal accountability.’  So we stop thinking victim archetype and into action.  The way the emotional states are, at least within myself, there are emotional states that oftentimes I feel like I have no control over that emotion because it has been an habitual way of thinking and perceiving, which is linked to all kinds of past experiences, which brings up trauma for me and then I feel it all over again.  What I’m suggesting is the exact same method that we use to develop that response we can use the exact same method to develop an empowered emotional response through habitual thinking, habitual languaging and habitual imagination. 

 

Your present reality – In this exercise write your first thoughts about your beliefs, your feelings and ideas on one of the following subjects as you become aware of them.  Now, what if I’d like to say here is I’m choosing rather than to go by a subject that if you had an issue in your life, perhaps it’s health, perhaps it’s money, perhaps it’s your relationship with whatever you’re calling god for you, perhaps it is divine partnership, a marriage or a great friend, whatever it is.  If there is one place in your life that if that shifted your life would take a quantum leap.  What I’d like you to do just in silence is think about what that one place in your life, if it shifted, you would make a quantum leap with your life.  It may be one of these subjects, but I’d like you to think about what that one thing would be.  You’re going to write the first thoughts that come to your mind.  Let your words flow freely.  The less you filter mentally the more accurately your words will represent your subconscious belief systems.  Be spontaneous.  Write down your first words unedited.  Make complete sentences and let your emotions flow.  We’ll be using these paragraphs in subsequent exercises so write clearly enough that you will be able to read your own handwriting.  I’d like you to write down your current reality on how you are experiencing this limitation now, how it’s been for you.  Please begin.

 

Specifics in speech produce emotions.  When we speak with attention to specifics and align our emotions to what we speak, our subconscious is more fully programed for manifesting our spoken word.  When our spoken word is aligned with our heartfelt emotions, creation begins.  Have you ever sat in an audience and listened to someone speak who spoke from a place that was not connected to their heart?  And what is the feeling that you have when that happens?  There is a certain lack of vitality in the speaking.  When a person speaks distinctly from their heart, what begins to happen?  What would happen if every word you spoke in your conversations with people or in your stories with people was right from your heart?  Would people be impacted that much more?  It’s very easy to be clever with words.  Sometimes it’s very challenging to speak from your heart because the emotions behind the words is what gives the words impact.  So when we speak, because our speech has so much power when it is aligned with our emotions, things happen.

 

Specificity produces emotions.  Why is that important?  Did you know that thoughts are literally vibrations and as we think those vibrations become a habit.  As we think more brain cells are attracted to that particular vibration and we begin to create neuronetworks in the brain.  When emotion is linked to the thinking, the vibration is amplified, more brain cells are attracted, deeper and more complex neuronetworks are formed.  What does that do?  It intensifies and creates more of your reality.  This is how you have physiologically made you to be you.  With your very specific ways of perceiving, you have habitually thought it, you’ve languaged it, you’ve imagined it and felt it to be so.  You have created the neuronetworks that when you perceive something those neuronetworks fire off and the built neuronetworks of another type of perception.  How we have literally physiologically built ourselves to be who we are today is through contemplating habitually, languaging it habitually and feeling it to be as if it is, habitually.  And then we become it.  And then we begin to perceive our world through those particular filters.  And this is how we have become who we are. 

 

We use the exact same system to develop a new set of perceptions and filters to view our life from.  And that’s what this whole weekend is about.  How did we do it?  And how do we do it now?

 

Specificity.  When we are alert to what provides us with the specifics we stay emotionally connected with our language.  Answers to the following questions provide those specifics.

 

Who, when, what, where, with whom and how. 

 

They begin to provide specifics to our language.  The more you stay ‘out there’ the more disconnected you are from your heart.  But when you get to specifics, that’s when you feel it.  Specificity drives the emotional body.

 

Non-conscious language categories: deletion, distortion, generalization, negation and disempowerment.

 

Language of deletion.  Now this goes right back to the NLP model of communication.  Remember, delete, distort and generalize?  That’s what our filters do.  Our subconscious mind requires specifics in order to manifest our desired outcomes.  When we delete specifics about our desired outcome our subconscious mind does not have adequate information to produce the desired results.  When we focus on where we do desire our lives to go we send the previously untapped 90% of our potential in the direction of our heart’s desire.  By focusing the specificity on our outcome, we utilize our divine right use of will and mental energy toward creating our reality. 

 

Now how many of us use our mental energy on our story?  You just wrote your stories out, right?  How much time do you spend there?  Have you ever been in conversation with someone and they’re in their story and they’re talking about their life and then you ask them, ‘What is it that you really desire?  Where is it that you’re really going?’  Do they have a lot to say then?  As much to say about the specifics of their past?  They’ve got less to say, is that true?  What if they had more to say?  Would that be interesting to listen to?  Where are you going?  What is it you really desire?  But when you ask them about their life, what you generally get are huge stories. 

 

Now this brings to mind a story.  There was once a tree called the Wishing Tree.  And this man in India, this fakir, sought his whole entire life for the Wishing Tree.  If you sat underneath the Wishing Tree, what would happen is, as you dwelt on it, whatever you thought about manifested.  He sought his whole life, he sat underneath the tree and he said, ‘What I wish for is a beautiful palace.’  And as soon as he had the thought a beautiful palace appeared.  And then he said, ‘What I really would love is a beautiful maiden.’  And as soon as he had the thought, a beautiful maiden appeared.  And he had the thought, ‘What’s really missing here is a huge banquet for us to enjoy.’  And as soon as he had the thought a huge banquet appeared.  And then he said, ‘Oh, my god.  Everything I’m wishing for is coming true.  There must be a monster behind this.’  And as soon as he had the thought a monster appeared.  And then he said, ‘Oh, my god.  It’s got fangs.  It’s a meat eater.  It will devour me.’  And as soon as he had the thought he was devoured.

 

Now we’re sitting under the Wishing Tree every breath we take.  The left and the right brain, the cranium, whatever we are dwelling upon, habitually, consistently, over and over again, is what is manifesting outside of us.  That is what’s happening.  And you’re doing it.  So if you’re dwelling on your story, guess what you get to have more of.  More evidence that your story is true.  So if you’re into, ‘I’m not enough.  There’s lack or scarcity.  I’m not loveable.  I’ll always be poor.’  Guess what comes forward to demonstrate itself out in your world.  More of that.  More evidence of that.  I’m not pretty enough, I’m not thin enough, I’m not fat enough, My hair’s not blonde, my hair’s not red.

1. There is only two things which motivate human behavior: Love and a call for Love.

 

 

2. The agenda of romantic love is to bring light to those childhood wounds left unhealed and to provide an environment to receive and heal those parts of ourselves.

 

 

3. Our behavior is our adaptation to loss.  Change is the catalyst for healing.

 

 

4. Our behavior has a positive intention given the resources we have available to us at the time.

 

 

5. We are in relationship with ourselves in the context of another.  Our relationships provide us with a mirror in which to see those parts of ourselves we cannot normally see.

 

 

6. Authentic communication is the key ingredient for a successful relationship.  If we are hiding our truth in relationship, we disempower ourselves and create a environment of resentment, projection and fear. 

 

 

 

7. Live from your personal life values with greater congruency between your thought word and deed. The more congruency, the stronger your personal identity.  The stronger your personal identity the healthier the relationship you will create.  You are the common denominator in your relationship history.  When you change your history in relationships will also change.

 

 

8. Understand you distort reality.  Begin your communication with the understanding that you see through your individual filters of your accumulated beliefs and memories.  Be personally accountable for the emotions you are creating based upon the meaning you are giving circumstances in your world.  The map is not the territory.

Our subconscious mind takes our language literally and personally.  Because we have been speaking in forms of language that we hear around us daily, we are often unaware of what we are actually programming into our subconscious mind.  Our goal is to use language that is outcome oriented first person accountable, and moving in the direction of our goals and objectives. 

The following is a list of commonly used words, which disempower and some language upgrade alternatives to begin to shift our thinking.

 

 

Disempowerment                                          Language Upgrade

 

1. I want                                                          My choice is, I require

 

2. I need                                                          I desire

 

3. I’m not                                                        I am

 

4. I would but                                                  I am

 

5. I must, I have to                                          I choose to

 

6. I can’t                                                          I am

 

7. I’ll try                                                           I am

 

8. I hope                                                            My choice is

 

9. I don’t know                                                 I’ll find out, I choose to know

                                                                          That’s a good question

 

10. You make me                                              I create for myself

 

11. Its hard                                                         It’s a opportunity

Today, 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.  They create our heaven or our hell based upon what we focused upon.

 

What we’re going to do is shift the pictures, sounds and feelings of our past.  It’s going to happen by partnering with me. Based upon the focus of your mind and your desire you can make many changes to the history that has blocked you.

 

So those of you who have had in the past 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.  So imagine you are going to enter the 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 and you can edit the movie.

 

So when you’re ready to just allow yourself to go into a more focused and concentrated state within yourself just imagine yourself entering the theatre.  Uncross your arms and your legs so the energy flows freely in your body and we’re going to go inside your imagination allowing yourself the opportunity to allow those parts of you that know how to change to 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 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 your 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 mind 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 allow your  body to relax, allowing all the sounds you hear, and 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 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, can lift up out of that body sitting in the theater, and sit in the projection room of that theater. Your able to see your body watching the screen in the theater but your also sitting in the projection room.

 

 And imagine now being in the projection room looking down at your body watching the screen and just breathe and be there in the theater with your imagination.   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 learning’s from your life, is preserved in that place that you retain for such learning’s.  Allowing all of those learning’s to 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 fulfill your life purpose in the optimum manner, according to your destiny. 

 

So imagine now that we’re in the projection room and we’re going to watch the film of your life, the film from conception until now.  It will take approximately 3 minutes to watch this film. 

Now imagine in the editing room as we’re going to review your film that there is a very large white paint brush that is filled endlessly with white-out.  I’m going to ask you to run your film in a moment, because I think we can make a better one.  What do you think?  We’re going to run your film and we’re going to white out all the frames of the film that have had a negative impact upon you and your future, preserving all the positive learning’s from your entire life span of time.

The curtains are beginning to open on the screen, the part of you who controls things  can now be ready to flip on the switch of the projector and allow your  film to begin to roll from conception to now.

 

Are you ready to change things?  Begin now.  Turn the film on and run the film in Black and White only.  Review your life as it happened from conception or birth to now. Paint white paint on the film and start whiting out every single frame that is the history of what has been stopping you.

Do that now and let the film roll until the end which means you have reached now. 

 

We’re going to run the movie backwards.  And distort the pictures sounds and therefore the feelings of the movie of your life.  Only the characters, and the internal representations in this film that you desire to change are going to change, all positive frames of the picture will remain the same.  The scenes and characters you are changing will be speaking backwards, the sounds will be backwards creating a new sound track for the movie, the characters will be walking backwards.  You can place Mickey Mouse ears on each one of them and a ballerina skirts on each one of them.  Also coupled with this you can put an elephant’s trunk on the faces of every character you desire to change in this film. 

 

Are you ready to have fun with the past? Remember the only way the past is still alive is in just a series of pictures sounds and feelings. Start the movie from the present now and run your movie backwards, rewinding the movie back to the beginning at birth or conception and filling in the empty frames you desire to change with all the new characters and sounds and feelings. Run the movie in full color leaving all the positive scenes as they are.  Do it now. Repeat the above process three times by fast forwarding in Black and white adding a coat of white out to all frames of the movie that require to be re-translated and imagined until the movie looks great with empty frames and positive memories.  Rewind the film distorting the characters and making the movie in full Color, almost funny and rewind back to the beginning filling all the empty frames that use to represent your past pain into a fun character filled funny sounding movie of your new life..

 

  

Bring your movie back to the very beginning where you originally started.

The better you imagine the more successful the re-imprinting of the past.

 

Now we going to add more resources to the movie. So as you stand at the beginning of the possibility to re-imagine the characters, the pictures, sounds and feelings, creating a new sound track, creating new characters in bright, vivid color, in the color of your circle of excellence and oneness.  We are going to place the qualities of that circle of oneness and we’re going to create new characters of your past where all of the characters are behaving and acting out of their circle of oneness with the heart, the compassion, the connection and the love of the essence of who they have eternally been.  All characters will be performing out of their circle of oneness and true self.  And your new film will take on the color of your circle of oneness. 

 

Create this new film in bright vivid color with every character acting out of their highest connection to whatever is divine in life.  When you’re ready you will begin your new film based in the color and the qualities of your circle of oneness.

Begin re-imagining your life now in the light of all your finest qualities and run the movie up until now.   Once at now, begin to rewind your film at high speed back to the beginning adding in more color, emotions and beautiful sounds.  Back to the beginning. 

 

Now we’re going to run your film through again.  This time we’re adding Steven Spielberg special effects, the highest quality of special effects.  Thx sound.  Make it three dimensional.  Make wind blowing.  Make symphonies playing.  You are just going to enhance these pictures so vividly, so powerfully with so much emotion into every single aspect of this film.  When you are ready, run the film through again and put in the most amazing colors in the color of your circle of oneness and each character acting out of the script of following their circle of oneness.  Run the film again please.  Enhance every frame.  More powerful.  More loving.  More compassionate.

 

Now that we’ve created new internal representations of your past, let’s bring this process to a gentle close  and allow your attention to return  to the now.

 

Now why and how does this process actually work?  The only way you know that you’re you is by the pictures, sounds and feelings in your head.  That’s it!  You’ve got eye patterns that retrieve your memories and go, ‘remember – this is what happened to you.   What if your eye patterns retrieve memories where all you saw was your circle of oneness flowing through every single memory of your past? 

 

 

The next opportunity we can take to explore our ability to shift the internal representations of our lives, is the concept of time.  In the quantum field time really doesn’t exist at all.  It is a construction of measurement. Time is very much like a river of life.  If we become attached to very little, or avoid becoming obsessed with the mundane, or things we cannot change, we begin to us our focus of mind beneficially.

 When we understand the river of time we will know that all things change constantly and is the only thing consistent that we have. It is not the events that occur in time within our lives that cause the pain, it is the meaning we have given those events that create either our heaven or our hell. It is the focus of our minds that either release us or imprison us.

Time is like a river, and the events in our lives are like leaves floating past us. What leaves do we choose to pick up and examine. For how long…And which do we choose to let flow by us.  The answer to this question will determine our degree of happiness.

Specificity is a tenet of the NLP model of communication. The specifics of your speech produce the emotions you feel. When you speak with specificity, it awakens your emotions so that your subconscious can more accurately manifest your spoken word. When your spoken word is aligned with your heartfelt emotions, creation begins.

Have you ever sat in an audience and listened to a presenter speak from a place that was not connected to his/her heart? How did you feel when that happened? When a presenter speaks distinctly from the heart, what does it do to you? What would happen if every word you uttered was distinctly from your heart? How much more impact would you have as you walked in the world?

Of course, it’s easy to be “clever” with words. But being clever and speaking wholeheartedly are not necessarily the same thing. Maybe you know this already. How often have you held back in your speech because you sensed that such heartfelt words would have too powerful a result?

Your thoughts and your language are creative. As you think and speak, you produce emotions, and those emotions create new neuro-networks in the brain and throughout the body. The electrical charge from your thoughts will follow the path of least resistance, and through classical conditioning and repetition, those thoughts and repeated emotional states form deeper and more complex neuro-networks until they harden into your character. This is how you reinvent yourself physiologically over and over again. Using specific perceptual patterns unique to you, you have habitually thought, languaged, imagined, and felt “you” into existence.

This can go on forever, but it’s your choice “who” you will create next. When you are alert to the “specifics,” you stay emotionally connected to your language. Emotions are the key to creating new ways of creating the “you” that you desire to become. Vague, generalized language is a form of fear and does not produce enough specificity for your subconscious to manifest your word. Your subconscious mind interprets feeling as fact. By asking simple questions such as Who? When? What? Where? With whom? and How? you can produce the emotions that will manifest desired outcomes.

Stop speaking about the past and focus on your outcomes for the future using specifics. Experience the feeling of your dream already manifested. This will bring your future to now, manifesting your destiny with every word you speak.

Conversely, the less you use outcome specific language and the more you disconnect emotionally from your dream, the more you will distance yourself from your divine right to create your life from your heartfelt desires. When you speak with specificity, you begin to feel more deeply, more accurately, more powerfully. Specificity drives the emotional body. Once you understand how it is you create and what filters you are using to interpret the world, you can change how you create and filter in the future. You can manifest choice. This is the goal for all practitioners of HNLP because scarcity of choice is the greatest source of pain you will ever feel. And abundance of choice will be your greatest joy. Choose your language carefully.
