The riggio model

Life is interesting.

When I was a kid I did read a lot of books, mainly from science fiction and fantasy, they appealed to me with adventure of the human worlds in what is possible.

I fell sick when I was 13 years of age, got cancer in my thyirodea and was operated from a day to next, my grandma visiting us commented on why I had such big troat.
In that surgery which toke 12 hours and the following years, I myself never worried about the illness I had.

It however did give some sympthoms that I many years later would understand wasnt "normal" for most people.
I was tired a lot, I fell asleep in the afternoon or after work on the kitchen table being to tired to even walk to the bed or sofa.
I thought that was normal.

When I entered the field of NLP one of the things that become obvious was to handle the thing being so tired.

Today it is much better even though at times I cant even think and just need to go and sleep it is rarely if ever just a habit but something that can be adjusted and often being absent when I do things.

One great thing I did from the workshop with Joseph, you might notice I come back to that guy and his work a lot since for me he did gave me the tools I needed to explore things that I so far knew about but couldnt explain or even explore beacuse of lack of the appropriate tools.

I came into this when I had around 4 years of illness where my body just gave up on me.
The life I had just went crash since the sudden illness made it impossible to do just the most ordinary thing like shopping food.

I also as a sidenote went to find out about using NLP to improve skills, setting out to become the best NLP trainer I could be and so on.
I also read a lot, books in NLP and also what people on the internet did write about.
I consider it to be my education in NLP to have done so.

I then applied the learnings, started to take on clients, then later to educate others in NLP.

So, this comes down to a few simple things, 2 actually.

Is the person coming from a possibility stance or a restricted stance?

We are first and foremost basing everything on us self, what we as humans understand of who we are and what we then do is to make sense of anything from one point of view, ourself.

I watch the old 78 year people living downstairs.
For them the relationships to other people is important, they know the neighbours, where they are, going to vacations and so on.
They keep track of stuff like that, they also work in the garden in the summer, keep doing the same things they do since they enjoy doing such things.

Society and the culture you been rised into has influenced you and also the language you use when speaking and foremost thinking about things with the internal perceptions.

So the stance of possibility can exist when something else is in place.

In the mythoself work the being human, the ontology stance is promoted to be the one holding the "intent" of a singularity based on being at your best the iconic representation and the greater than self.

For me that seems like a great idea.

We need to have a well formed foundation in place that later the rest of the system is based on.

But most humans never enter that foundation, they become limited, they blame others, judge and then try to rip the world apart.

In school kids are harrasing others, in workplace the same stuff occours to get into a position of power. It is however based on lack of feeling safe.

The realtionships we act from are based on early childhood patterns in relationships to how to respond within a particular context, familiy first then friends later and then others.

As I point out in the old Richard Bandler story about someones kid in the familiy who is crazy being a scizophrenic and cured outside the familiy becomes razy when put back into the familiy.

What Bandler dosnt say is this,

The reason why the familiy is making their son scizophrenic again is very simple and obvious when you know about it.
The familiy does not reconigce the boy that enters their home as their own son!
So of course they start to change him back as they know him to be since they judge that by the behaviors he displays.

The whole familiy system theory is wrong, it is as simple as the family base their relationships on a distinction that they "know" who their son is and what he isnt.

So when this man walks in, being changed and considered "normal" then for his familiy he isnt.

Now the soiciety and also the cultural patterns works in similiar ways.

You just know, it or not.

What I learned from the professional golfer I coach is that there is perfection in body and mind if there is no ties to any contexts in mind and body.
It is to "untie" the tie and then to tie it again in another way.

It is as simple as, either you are reactive respond to what is there.

or

You active and act and respond to what isnt there.

In the Riggio Model we work with establishing a well formed foundation, the one you are and also how to work this system for yourself.

It is also based on peak perfomance states, flow states, enhancements states etc...

But state is just a word, what about saying,

State of expereince?

The expereince you have is more than a state, it is based on what happens in the next step from the state.

So then state comes fist and then your evaluation comes second.

So if we set this up by state first, the wellformed foundation and then, what will happen to your experience?

That depends on the decision you be setting up based on the criteria of what the future is to be for you in advance the "futurenow-TM" ;)

Then you have a great system that propels you from the basic foundation of state into the experience of your life making decisions continsiously from this one perfect example.

Then anything becomes possible.

Then you act.

Adjust.

and evolve.

Exploring the faith

It has been a journey the last 18 months.

For many reasons the most important months of my life ever.

I am presenting internationally in english a language I am not born into and doing so with the model I am offering is a pure delight.

I like to understand things and when I go explore during my NLP days I did take the expereince first to the heart to get hands down a first hand expereince about the subject.
This is important for several reasons, krishnamurti for example understood that when someone asked a question the answer was already present in the questioners mind and all he had to do was to rephrase and give back the question to the questioner so the answer would surface itself.

Most who are new to a system will hesitate and not plung themselves deep into the ocean and I do understand that, the what can go wrong first type of decision.

In my findings I had a hard time with "faith" the one thing I found deeply held in religious systems and also in the mythoself model.

For me it had to have an answer since I wouldnt ask anyone to take me or my model (the riggio model) on faith alone since for me that would be stupid.

Faith is the gap between what is known and the unknown.

To go into the unknown you need faith since there is no referencepoints there to guide you, you either need to trust yourself or someone else who done the journey to the degree that achives a insight into the making of the universe.

The one thing I been trying to map out explicit is to "how do you get the expereince needed to take the step into the unknown without using faith?"

What type of expereince can be explored to get the message across that to go into the depths of the ocean and swim with the whales and dohlpins is in a way understandable before actually taking the swim?

The answer lies in the word understanding.
You can understand without understanding since the answer is beyound words, you can just understand.

There is no questions, no answers either than that, just understand.

The expereince of that "understanding" is possible to teach to gain access what faith really do and what it stands for before you take the leap of faith into the unknown.

It has a lot to do with how we define reality and in the end there can be only one to quote one of my good films the highlander.

The riggio model explores the edge of human consiousness and as so, there can be only one

You, the human being holding the essence of spirit and then when everything is explored you have the faith to unfold and expereince the universe as it is infinite.

That altough is different exploration and adventure of the human consiousness.
