NLP through stories -story 2

/2 Comments/in /by

A blind man refused to believe there was light in the world;
people around him tried hard to make him accept.
The blind man asked,” how will light feel? what sound light makes? how does light smell? what is its taste ?”
People were saying he was a fool.
They referred the matter to The Buddha.
The wise one said,” Given him eye sight first; rest is assured”
Like he Buddha said through proper treatment he was given vision.
The man with new vision said,” What a bright world!”


 

NLP says people can respond based on their perception only;
based on their understanding of reality only.
If they have to be made to understand & accept a thing,
put it in the way they can understand, not in the way you understand.
This particular way of receiving and responding is called “MAP’
The belief of NLP is ‘People respond to their map of reality’   

This story also highlights another NLP principle,
“we process all information through our senses”

MAP as I say is “Mind’s Assimilation Process’

NLP teaches you the way to understand how people understand.
VRnlp teaches you that MAP

NLP through stories- Story 1

Disciples complained to the Guru,
‘O Master! You have been telling us a number of stories
but you don’t share with us the moral of the story. Why?”

The guru replied, “Yes … I will explain.
When I give you fruits to eat,
what if I give you chewed bits for you??”
The disciples understood. 

The story clearly indicates here a parallel to NLP’s attitude.

NLP wants you to go by your understanding and experience based on feedback, and do not take things for granted.

NLP respects every individual and recommends being authentic by verifying facts with personal experience especially on matters pertaining to behavior modification belief change.

One of the principles of NLP is “To understand, do”

Meaning :
Thousand reasons to feel worried,
hundred reasons to feel the fear – happens only in a fool.
The wise remains untouched.

VALUE OF EXPERIENCE
The specialty of NLP is that you start from where you are;
fully accepting the way you are now, you figure out what you want to be;
in the process of getting what you want, NLP says,go by your experience,
& not simply by certain mental estimate.
Experience is authentic and experience alone makes you realize in full dimension;There is a saying “Experience is the greatest teacher”What you experience stays with you as memory and comes as a ready reckoner for reference.

That is why NLP emphasizes the need of ‘doing’ for understanding.

Decades before NLP said this, Swamiji says on EXPERIENCE.

I give here his own words,
“All human knowledge proceeds out of experience;
we cannot know anything except by experience.
All our reasoning is based on generalized experience;
all our knowledge is but harmonized experience.”  

(Complete Works Of Swami Vivekananda,Vol 2 page 226, Mayawati Memorila Edition, Advaita Ashram )

NLP for Mind Management

NLP , the science of
Personal Achievement , stresses upon what is called as state of mind;
your response to life situation is based on your state of mind at that time.
If you are in happy & joyous state of mind, then a disappointment or a
minor loss may not affect you so much as you would be at a time of discomfiture
and disturbance.
If you are already
disturbed, then a happy news from routine may not enthuse you so much.
It is your disposition
that determines your response to life situation.
To say in NLP term, “How
resourceful are you?”
Resourceful state of mind
means a state of mind with spontaneous ‘can do’ attitude & enthusiasm
To well maneuver life
situation a resourceful state of mind is recommended.
It is possible to create
a needed state of mind .
This concept from NLP
is well reflected in Swami Vivekananda’s 
 words,
“If you are powerful enough you can divide your consciousness
into twenty parts all at the same time. I am changing my psychology. Mind grows.
That is what the yogis say. There is one passion and it rouses another, and the
first one dies.
If you are angry and then happy , the next moment anger passes
away. Out of that anger you manufactured the next state.
These states are
always interchangeable.
Eternal happiness and misery are child’s
dream.
The Upanishads point out that the goal of man is neither misery nor
happiness, but we have to be master of that out of which these are
manufactured.
We must be masters of the situation at its very root, as it were.”
(
Ref Complete Works Of Swami Vivekananda Mayawati Memorial Edition, Advaita
ASharama, Vol 1 page 432)
Like Swami emphasizes here,
the secret of success lies in regulating your state of mind.

Reticular Activating System – R A S – of Brain

Reticular Activating System is a function of the brain that filters the information that enters,
be it pictures, sounds, feelings.
Reticular Activating system sorts out what is important information
that needs to be paid attention to and ignores all others;
If this is not done brain would be overloaded with information to be processed
and efficiency may go down.

For example, you go to railway station to receive a person whom you know well,
and you wait at the entrance; you get to see hundreds of people walking out,
yet you are keen to spot only the face you have decided to acknowledge.
That means your brain automatically fails to register any other detail
except the one what you have commanded to notice.

You buy a car of a particular model & color;
suddenly on road you start noticing who else has the same model & color.
It now comes to your awareness;
How? Because now you are more associated to that model & color and
so your brain (RAS) notices and registers.
Energy flows in the direction of focus.
The concept is well explained in the words of Swami Vivekananda,

We see that the impression of any action, to which we attach ourselves, remains. I may meet hundreds of persons during the day, and among them meet also one whom I love; and when I retire at night, I may try to think of all the faces I saw, but only that face comes before my mind- the face which I met perhaps only for one minute, and which I loved; all others have vanished. My attachment to this particular person caused a deep impression on my mind than all other faces…. Most of the faces, perhaps, were entirely new about which I had never thought before, but that one face of which I got only a glimpse found association inside. (ref The Complete Works Of Swami Vivekananda, Mayawati Memorial Edition, Advaita Ashrama
VOL1 Page 56;)


Do you notice Swamiji’s explanation of Conscious awareness based on Vedanta is well reflected by NLP’s recognition of R A S?
