Needless to mention the special wisdom of Socrates.
He was also known for his simplicity & austerity in life.
Socrates was very appreciative of the spiritual wisdom of Hindu sages.
Though Socrates was simple,
he had a fascination to visit market place and
spend time in window shopping.
His friend once asked him
why spent so much of time gazing at products he never bought.
Socrates said with a smile,
“I like to spend time here.
Coming here I realize how happy I am,
even though I don’t have these products in my life “
Is it strange ?
Not really. Human we are and we tend to think to have pleasure by having
something. So we tend to drive for something and possess to derive pleasure,
only to realize that something else has more pleasure in it than what we have
on hand.
The point here is from NLP angle
it is the meaning what we give to events
is what makes sense to us, nothing less nothing more. It is our interpretation
that gives meaning
Like Shakespeare said, “Nothing
is good or bad; our thinking makes it so”

A man went to a Zen master and expressed that he was a very angry man. 
He wanted to get rid of his anger.

The Master said, ” then I want to see you anger. Can you show me?”
The man said he could not; 
The Master asked him to try to get anger..
The man said he could not get anger, though it was coming on its own.

Master then said,” Man, you are not an angry person. 
If it is a part of your being you will be able to show it at your will. 
You don’t have anger in you. 
You were not born with anger either. 
So first stop identifying your self with anger.” 
and there after took the man through a process of containing anger

Yes anger like any other emotion happens in us as an effect of a cause.
The cause mostly is due to disappointment over not getting what one wants.
NLP says clearly People are not their behavior; man transcends his behavior.
Behavior is something happening in a man;
there are times a man is out of a particular behavior.
Man is separate from his behavior.
If he is separate from his behavior, then is it wise to identify oneself with his behavior?

NLP recommends to separate people from behavior.
NLP recommends to separate intention form behavior
In fact whole of REFRAMING  rests on this founding principle.
Every behavior is a learned behavior;
and so you can learn a behavior.

A girl student in a school said with disgust, 
” I am just 6 years now; another 10 more years to spend here in the same school; I hate it”

The teacher said, 
” You are lucky; You can get released in 10 years. 
I am a teacher here; I have to keep coming here till my retirement”

Nothing is good or bad other than the meaning we give to it.
You can see the blessing of this student in comparison with the teacher from the angle of coming to school.

What appears as problem may be taken as a blessing if you expand the frame of reference or change your frame or reference.

This is called as MEANING REFRAMING in NLP;
Meaning reframing is done to release us from stuck state or disempowered state.
In other words looking at ‘brighter side’ 

Should one necessarily reframe every difficult situation??
Not necessary;
where as in practice if you reframe you feel empowered.
NLP helps to be empowered.

A king with his troop was going for hunting and he lost his way.
He & his troop were very tired exhausted;
they were looking for a space to relax.
Suddenly they heard a man from a tree shouting out,
” O wise king !! I am grateful to you for being my guest. Please come over here.
I shall feed you all and serve you..”
His voice was very sweet and kind; so the King was very pleased and reached the tree.
The man alighted from tree and started staring at the king.
Then he shouted at the kind with unkindly words.
The minister got angry and was about to behead the man.
The king stopped the minister and started moving away. 
The man in the forest again climbed the tree and sat on it.
He realised King was moving away & so shouted, “
“O king ! benefactor of whole kingdom !! Bear with my folly.
I am here to serve you; please come”

The king was really surprised over the alternating stance of this man.
He sent the minister near the man to enquire.
The minister neared the tree; by then the man got down from the tree and approached the minister..
once he was away from the tree, again he started abusing the king minister.

Noticing this the King got a clue of the dual behavior of this man;
when he was on tree the man was noble kind and warm;
away from tree he was intemperate.  

The king instructed the minister to gather details about the tree.
Upon serious enquiry the minister came to know that 
in the very place where the tree was, the throne of King Vikramadiya was buried..
hence by the influence of fair & just practice of the King though dead long back, 
the throne carried the same vibration and kept influencing people in its range.     
Therefore the man when on the tree was kind &
away from the tree his original nature of being unkind  surfaced.

Here we clearly find that the man in the forest has his state of mind changed.
Especially his state of mind changes according to the location he occupies.
The tree infuses in him ‘positive’ state of mind;
away from it he gets ‘negative’ state of mind

NLP also talks of the possibility of infusing ‘positive’ state of mind by a process called
CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE..
Moving into the circle you can become ‘RESOURCEFUL’   and accomplish what you want to accomplish in a situation where otherwise you may feel dis-empowered.
Circle oF excellence is a wonderful way to gain RESOURCE from within and be effective,
VRnlp teaches you CIRCLE of EXCELLENCE.

Akbar once called Birbal and said,” Birbal ! It is strange to read in your Hindu Holy book that Lord Vishnu hearing the agonizing cry of an elephant rushed to his aid. Why would a God with so many servants at His disposal himself rush to the succor of the elephant?

Birbal replied. ” Your Majesty, please give me 2 days time to answer your question “
Akbar granted him the request apparently with a pride to have humbled Birbal.


Birbal arranged to make a wax model of Emperor’s grandson and dressed the wax model in grandson’s clothes.
He then ordered a servant to carry the doll where Emperor could see him & pretended to fall and drop the doll into the pond with a cry drawing Emperor’s attention.
The servant did so. 
When the Emperor heard the cry and saw his grandson fall into the pond, Emperor himself jumped into the pond & rescued ‘grandson’ 
Birbal now came out of a bush and asked ” Your Majesty !! when you have so many servants, why you jumped in to the pond to save your grandson?? that too this is only a wax model..???”
It is for the same reason like yours, for Lord Vishnu every creature is precious”

Akbar understood his folly in having questioned the wisdom of Hindu’s God.  

Everyone understand only with reference to their ‘conditioning’ & belief .
Everyone perceives world differently in unique ways.
To make them understand ‘truth’  we must enter into their map & explain, for them to understand better.
Otherwise every word means different things to different people.
Also every context is inferred in one’s own unique ways. 
In order to persuade or influence or make the person understand it is important to understand their map of reality and present an idea matching their map.
Whatever be the explanation Birbal would have given earlier, Akbar would not have bought it.
When Birbal demonstrated in the way Akbar would understand, the job got done.
One of the beliefs of NLP is “People respond only to their map of reality”

A man wanted to sell his 2 acre land which he thought as good for nothing  and approached an agent to help to dispose the land.
Next day this man saw an ad in the paper, ” 2 acres of land located near highway, very good for cultivation with enough water resources; even it is suitable for factory building or residential purpose; best price”

After reading the advertisement this man went to the agent and said, ” I have changed my mind; after reading your ad, I now realise the worth of my land; I dont want to sell”

Is it not interesting??
Often times you & I have the real potential & value.
yet not taking apt reference you tend to conclude you are powerless or worthless.
You need someone to remind you of your glory.
NLP exactly does this job of reminding you of your worth.
You already have all the resources you need.
NLP reminds you; reinforces in you.

“Which
is important present or future?” a question was asked to an industrialist.
He
quickly replied “Both”
He
was asked to explain.
He
said, “Present gives us the opportunity to know where we stand where we are how
we are; and future gives us the opportunity to move to a better position than
the present’’
Very
insightful isn’t it??
NLP
clearly says to be aware of what goes on now in you & around you;
acknowledging the present is important, accepting the present is important.  -PRESENT STATE
And
once having known where we are, we have to know where we want to be..   DESIRED
STATE
Present
State >—————–>————————>
desired sate
NLP
gives you tools to move from present state to desired state.
VRnlp
helps to move & achieve your desired state.

He was haunted by a ghost dream every day.
He could not sleep peacefully every day.
The moment he closed his eyes images of ghost in various shapes & size
seized his mind and he was becoming restless.
Even during waking hours he was worried over ghost dream & loss of peace.
He was now truly possessed.


One day a monster ghost approached him.
He was totally terror-stricken, terrified petrified.

In a shaky voice he asked the ghost, ” what are you going to do?”

The ghost said, ” How do I know?? You created me & direct me; 
only you know what I have to do”

Is it not strange that what we create seem like dictating us?
Every thing in this world is a creation of mind and we get conditioned by our creation and they seem to dominate.
We get so much associated with them that we conclude we are possessed by them.
If we know the knack of disassociation we can understand ‘truth’ and respond adeqautely.

Also it is clear we respond to our perception of reality & not  real reality.


NLP talks of association & dissociation..
In order to understand & alter you must know dissociation &
in order to perform you must associate.

VRnlp teaches you how to associate & dissociate appropriately.
