Dearest Yoda and all other jedi, new or old... Saturday night of
the 16th of September 2007 was neither euphoric nor sad, although
the emptiness of no class on Sunday, loomed above like a Dementor
until my head touched the pillow to sleep, to rest, perchance to
dream; but before that time I rang my brother in Scotland, asking
if his hallucinations approximated mine... it was irrelevant - he
ended up offering me a piece of my own puzzle which although elicited
a spontaneous, overwhelming emotional response, was quickly contained
for what it was, stored and processed and suddenly there are more
keys upon the bunch as I look down - luckily they are made of a
metal as yet undiscovered and so weightless. The language of dogs
is clearer than it has been for years and my late grandfather sits
beside me at every cognitive process.. These, by the way have a
new shape... a definite shape ...cognition is no longer desirable
(nor is it undesirable), only a quick path to the kitchen where
the coffee is stored. We all take what we can from the great text
which has fashioned so many of my own responses (Tao Te Ching).
Be like water is the bit that stays with me - being like water is
the rapport of NLP. Finding my level today. Which pill did I take?
Was it blue was it red? Didn't I take it centuries ago anyway? Isn't
it just that I got lazy this time around and needed to focus on
other parts? Neil says I should have asked to move money up my value
set; I now interpret his hallucination as x knowing full well it
could be y and then I step over, to get an espresso, knowing that
it can't matter because water has its own strength and always sets
its own equilibrium. I discovered this morning that I will never
need recreational drugs again... I can induce drunkeness or stoned
at barely a moment's notice and then have the ability to come out...
back into the coffeehouse which now replaces the kitchen as food
is a fuel and I have no need to comfort a ghost, an hallucination.
What did you learn, was asked of me.... I replied "disassociation"
as I slipped into the construct of my own making, where my residual
self image has panache and dances Argentinian tango to the sound
of Chilean poetry being recited; barely audible above the Portuguese
FADO singer in the corner of the room. The scent of perfume and
garlic and his body in my nostrils as he holds me closer ... there
is security and safety and all the criteria are being met..because
there are only ever experiences of my own making. What did any of
us learn? What was the promise of NLP? Did it set us free? Or are
we still free-falling our way down the rabbit hole? Whether we began
our journeys together or have bumped into each other at different
stages (the situ is of no relevance or import) let's be useful to
each other, enhancing each of our resourceful states.... In my construct,
there is a reason that each of us has met.... the spirit is high
and whatever the interpretation of digital code, by the crossing
of paths - we become part of each other.. somehow.... watch out
for the internet space about to be created for us.... coming soon....

cheers - you are a gem for ringing me... will review and revise
and rehearse the timing til next wednesday - a Jedi knight i will
be....... one day... hmmmm
BY THE WAY
have you considered some STAR WARS clips in the classes.. especially
seeing you are YODA - ok - not old and wrinkled in the same way
and much taller, i grant you BUT.. in my mind, YODA you be....
Here are some favourite quotes and i have already implanted the
face of robb upon the body of little jedi master . hmmmmm (sounds
of swishing)
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.
Always in motion is the future.
Size matters not.
A Jedi's strength flows from the Force.
Help you I can, yes.
Always two there are, no more, no less: a master and an apprentice.

[Yoda:] That is why you fail.”

STOP
I never did take the dancing shoes out of the bag when i got home.
And i clearly remember saying in front of the class - i'm going
to take my dancing shoes out of the bag. But perhaps that was just
a Milton moment in amongst the TimeLine Therapy moments. Perhaps
i had just mastered spontaneous metaphor, sidestepping away from
the Meta,... Definitely, it had nothing to do with dancing
Cognitively, remembering being in the class next to the guru....it
still doesn't make sense to me that I could be taken back to four
months old in the womb - but previous miscarriages occured at four
months - was i remembering my own four or the four of those unborn
within?
That's all irrelevant ultimately, because to cut a long story short,
crying exploded for a few seconds, leaking followed and yesterday,,
less than a week away from it all inoticed that my reactions have
changed and though cognitively i can rationalise it all, subconsciously
there is a new strength and i have completely replaced a set of
feelings that i now know have driven so many of my reactions all
my life with a how is it now sensation?
At this moment he touches my foot and wakes me to leave the chair
,on which i am sleeping, to go to bed, For the first time i wake
as an adult, no longer the child, acting contrary to someone else's
belief system and am able to feel the love in the room for me. Really
feel something...that neither takes away nor adds - just is. I can
accept help without feeling it's criticism - it's just feedback
and i think i understand a concept of love.. as well as the concepts
of happiness and survival (which were always lurking but never given
centre stage).
Did i make that decision to make do? No. I made that decision and
this decision and all the other decisions because i can and i want
to.
So even though the dancing shoes are still in the bag at the bottom
of my cupboard, with their black glitter fronts and fake buckled
straps, i will dance like a champ as i can see i have already been
dancing and very soon, will represent Argentina, against all odds
in the Tango at a little cafe near to me somewhere only i can find....

i had hit a huge writer's block before coming on the course - no
bruising left and have decided against hitting blocks in the future
- blood's too hard to wash out!
i'll try (you know what try means lol) not to write to you guys
all the time but wanted to share these changes - they are profound
and fast acting and deep and when my body wants to respond in a
way that i hve responded for years- the psyche takes over and i
can't and i am free - to do what i want any old time (cue the music
and start bopping)
have a great weekend
love Jane

hi there Allison - just wanted to send this to you and Yoda...
brain is on fire - dreams are full of adventures and puzzles that
i solve and i do solve them and also EFT and NLP mixed up.. only
thea has contacted me so iguess the others are not really into the
prolongued links - i will push on thought o maintain the group -
what was your idea you said.. and left me hanging? do you still
want to use my stuff for newletter ?
here is this weekend's rant.. enjoy
HIGH
It’s the age of generation Y. No more of the baby boomers,
no more generation X but now the time of generation Y. Why me? Why
not? Why now? I am sure i don’t need to write a list of Ys
for you ... but it is interesting that therapies and current trends
should reflect them and reject the intensity of emotion that a couple
of generations before us felt. Once, our parents were tripping out
at Woodstock or Glastonbury or running around in Peyote induced
states; today, we have reached a different point. It’s the
point of desensitisation. We don’t care about women who love
too much. We don’t generally care about Men being from Mars
either– what are we doing? We are moving the extreme out..
returning to a state of peacefulness void of harmful emotion.
Is it possible to write poetry if you are a practitioner of NLP?
Can there be a tortured soul, spitting out images of pain, loss,
longing and fear once NLP has been revealed? How was it before all
the wars? Was there ever a time before? Have these past 50 been
an illusion?
I’m back at the place where our grandparents began... before
our great-great grandparents began – but it was not so..
They just coped differently and it wasn’t imperative for us
to claim compensation, we just got on with it all or at least they
di; and did they suffer from suppression, depression, the denied
and hidden? Probably. Did they have strategies? Most definitely.
And then became the era of self indulgence except that it wasn’t
– wasn’t really any different than before. That was
just the illusion created by more money spent. Freedom meant our
parents dragged us country to country, while they were on their
own journey. Never quite made it Marrakesh but there’s a bite
on my back from a mosquito called Africa and my blood is infected
with a continent to which I have no technical claim.
And I could feel hard done by. I could mourn the loss of home. I
could embrace the home that I can no longer own. I can sit at either
end of the spectrum but this rainbow has taken away the feeling
of slipping and while my neighbours’ children blow up imaginary
terrorists through the wall, I practice chunking up and chunking
down and up and down until I can no longer read my mind
I need no stimulants; no uppers, no downers, no caffeine, no alcohol,
no sugar. This is for me unadulterated, stripped down and then built
back up ....

WHEN IT HAPPENED I WASN'T THERE
BUT PERHAPS I WAS
and so i write in the diary
a reminder from someone other
to provide evidence of an existing thought...
is this my occupation?
still thinking
Date: 7 October 2007 1:58:29 PM
I don't know why i forgot to mention it but perhaps because i have
put it to bed already but
being subject to brief but overwhelming outbreaks of emotion - primal
emotions - naked fear... especially ... comfort like never before
and hunger and lust which i have to say - seems the same at the
time it's happening!!! but overwhelming and sporadic
but i have it in my mind that it's to do with something before i
was even born which seems bonkers when i say it but it feels right
to me...dont necessarily need anything done - as i am managing to
do a lot myself - but it's just strange and i didn't expect it -
but my dreams are still NLP dreams and puzzles and logical problems
-
the naked fear is quite scarey and is to do with sound...but thanks
to NLP tools i am able to communicate far more effectively with
neil and now he just thinks i'm mad which is ok ..... better than
uncommunicative!...
Anyway - last night's dream state informed me that my sensory acuity
was developing - think it will be the next topic for NLP speakcreation..
SO don't need to discuss it further just wondered if this was common
in the changes?

Subject: questions - it's all in the qs
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I know you don't know the answer to where this began but if
you did know the answer to where it began.. what would the answer
be?"
THIS UNLOCKED the bit.. like a slipper on the foot of a mythical
white collar daughter in a blue collar job, mice and pumpkins aside.....
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
He was very very keen to be hypnotised... so i used the NLP structures
while he was under hypnosis and then got him to speak under hypnosis
and then used his words as suggestions in feedback- he woke up (eventually)
it was really hard to bring him back for a bit... but... felt spaced
and yet calm (of course)
He came to see me a week later, passing practice test questions,
in the process of purchasing a house he had had his eye on for a
while but not done anything about, and ready to go ahead with the
next stage of his life....
It's a bit of a headfuck, isn't it? he said to me
did it work? i said
yeah but i mean for a few days - everthing looked really different
and now?
well, now the difference is normal and i'm ok - (pause) I'm really
ok - but it was - you know, what i said!!!
Thank you Yoda for skillset ok so you are bored with the thank yous..
get over it! this part of life is too short not to appreciate the
good things!
have a great week
and i will start charging soon - i can feel it - but then... perhaps
i'll just keep putting that energy back into the world.... i keep
on saying to people - well, i'll help you... don't worry about the
money..
need for value changes? LOL |
