NLP through stories – story 7

George Bernard Shaw was pondering how to begin a novel. 
That time two servants engaged in a dialogue.
One asked,” Is our master busy?”
The other said,” No not at all; he is simply sitting and writing something”


The story very clearly indicate the level of understanding of the servant;
he evaluates the importance based on his exposure and experience only.
He bases his work & life as standard to judge the merit of action.

It is very clear from the story
“UNDERSTANDING IS BASED ON THE DEGREE OF AWARENESS”
The whole aim & intention of NLP is to increase the degree of awareness – within & without.
One needs to be aware of what is going on inside & outside; to be aware of outer & inner senses.

Increase your awareness level to increase your understanding level.

He
was a beggar life-long;
he occupied a permanent place on a way where many
people passed by.  
He had regular inflow of
money and led a contented life.
He always expressed his desire to get buried after
his death in the place where he occupied.
His end came. Town people dug a pit to bury his body.
They found a huge sealed container,
breaking open they found treasury of gold
& diamond.
Poor beggar not knowing what was with him,
he was begging for paltry money to
simply exist. 


“PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES THEY NEED”
This is one of the fundamental beliefs of NLP.
Look within; the answer to your life’s problems lies there.

Those who listen to their intuition and depend on internal resources don’t have to regret.
You are already complete; then why keep searching outside. It is only a question of realization.
NLP facilitates effectively for this realization.

A man came to a medical shop and asked for a medicine to stop hick-up.

The shop owner came near this man and gave a blow on his back.

“why did you beat me” the man asked the shop owner.
“Now the hick-up has stopped for you.Did you notice?” the shop-owner replied with curios anticipation  & appreciation for a very wise solution.

The man replied,” hick-up is not for me; it’s for my wife” 

NLP does not assume what the subject wants and does not advice blindly.
Each person is unique and one of the principles of NLP is
“PEOPLE MAKE THE BEST CHOICE AVAILABLE TO THEM AT THAT TIME”

In therapy, therapist is not supposed to assume what the subject wants.
Prudence lies in asking for what the subject wants, empathize with the subject, understand his need from ‘his map’ and offer suggestion appropriately.

Rykon was greatly interested in Zen learning. So he entrusted his entire business & proceeds to his only son-in- law. He went in search of enlightenment.

whereas his son-in-law was not disciplined; he became a spend-thrift and squandered the money through unhealthy habits. People around were concerned with  saving at least whatever is left over.
They sent word to Rykon to come back and advise his son-in-law and save the remaining property.

Rykon jouneyed back a long distance; he spent a day with his son-in-law and daughter.
He did not much advise or enquire on property loss or in-disciplined life.

When he was about to leave, Rykon requested his son-in-law to tie his shoe lace.
When the son-in-law was tying the shoe lace, Rykon in a gentle voice said to this son-in-law,
” Life does not remain the same; see how withered I have become; not even able to tie my shoe lace easily; so be careful with your body and save your health; life is important”
The son-in-law got the message and thereafter led a proper life.

Like how Rykon did NLP also does not unnecessarily dig open the past
and analyse to understand a past event,
rather focuses on solution  or in other words outcome needed by the subject.
NLP is outcome oriented, rather result oriented.
NLP takes you from where you are to where you want to go.
NLP is a very powerful tool to get what you want.

An ardent student wanted to see The Buddha
and so with all eagerness approached a Zen master
and demanded to meet the Buddha.
The master immediately replied,
” On your way back home now notice
who is wearing pair of slippers wrongly;
that person is the Buddha”
The disciple felt thrilled
and on his way back home
he was carefully noticing everyone passing by
and invariably found everyone was wearing slippers correctly.
It was a great disappointment for him
and with tired feeling knocked at the door of his house.
His mother noting his son had come rushed to open the door;
The student found his mother was wearing her slippers interchanged,
right on left foot & left on right foot wrongly,
realized immediately  his mother was The Buddha and  fell at her feet.

The moral of the story is very evident here.
The student not realizing Buddha has been with him searched everywhere outside;
equally we all have the true wisdom already with us
and we do not realize this and keep seeking everywhere outside.
Look within; the answer to all your life’s queries are within.
External world is only a suggestion or hint;.
Believe in your intrinsic value & worth.

One of the principles of NLP is –
“People already have all the resources they need”

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

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”

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 in the words of Swami Vivekananda Post 4

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.
You can lean the art of Mind Management with the tools of NLP

NLP in the words of Swami Vivekananda Post 3

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?

Vedanta & NLP
