out of thier unconscious and recognised them as part of the function of the human experience.

Yes, this is how all these things work. You have full access to the entire workings of the universe within your own body. It’s a matter of developing awareness of it. Fortunately all our bodies are basically the same and we can utilize the same basic techniques to develop body awareness and the resulting frames of mind its unfolding creates

genius is in recognising these things as valid for humanity and putting it out there.

you don`t have to stop so much as look within more often and know what`s valid inside yourself as much as a practice or discipline will help you.

none of them will help unless you have discovered part of that within you also.

the only nlp that exists for you is the one that you recognise.

Don’t look for *another* great tool. Look for THE great tool. There is only one Tao.

and tim is right.

the tao is the function

Okay, I am stopping breathing exercises, left hand writing and self remembering of any type, and will not look into the Alexander Method, Iron Shirt, NLP as long as you guys promise to show me how to do the Tao in 3 easy steps, teee heee.

Anyways, keeps us on our toes, thanks for the responses.

the comment from the hagakure was written in the 18th century, if my recollection serves, and predates the developement of nlp and it`s evolving modalities by some 300 years.

the suggestion that there are no good models anymore could be like saying barry bonds makes a poor model because, even though his swing is near-perfect and has managed to break hank arron`s home run record, he is personally an arrogant dick who even the commisioner of baseball avoids socially.

the fact remains that how bonds makes the bat connect with the ball can be modelled and replicated.

nlp, as i learned and practice it, enables me to illict the structures of language, physiology and so on the bonds utilises to hit homeruns.

these structures can then be learned and practiced by others.

and the steroids, of course.

whether being a dick is important might also be a factor.

having said all of this, i must say that people have been doing this sort of analysis long before nlp came along. i find it just makes the job more effective and replicable.

In light of this, it would be good to make a model and to learn from that. To do this, one should look at many people and choose from each person his best point only.

Will look into this Alexander thing.

this is as true for a golf swing as for grounding exercises like the iron shirt that i described above.

most of the chi exercises are teachable to kids as young as three or four and to bureacrats and factory workers.

we are already experiencing chi energy. we just haven`t recognised it. when it is pointed out and we are given the permission to move it around in simple ways like visualising water flowing in our bodies, then we can become monks with 30 years of training in a short time.

and tim is right.

the tao is the function.

we come at it as individual parts of one single thing.

i believe it is possible for anyone to attain this form of discipline quickly,

lessons, tips, real world examples?
