5 generation NLP whats next?

Its cold outside, finally the winter has arrived with some snow and its late due a month or so.
Winter has been as far warm and fuzzy, growing with heat and sweat more than cloths can bring.

I am well aware that snow and cold belongs together, as I am reminded of how NLP has brought for me.
Its not just NLP but the collected wisdom over the years. I noted that when NLP started the detail and analytical testing that was done to sort out placebo with its beliefs was conducted by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. The illusion you might say in workings.
I also noted that Robert Dilts did think he found out about the eyemovements when in fact he was tested to note if he could find them with the exerzise he got.

Then the second generation came, Dilts, De Lozier Gordon and others.
Then the third generation came with the offsprings of the tales of the 1980´s.
The forth generation brought forward the teachings and tales from earlier generations.

I noted that many mostly told what someone else told them about what they been taught.
I also remember when reading NLP books that I one day stoppped and noted, its more of the same.
The pattern in the NLP books become obvious to see.
There was nothing new there.

It wasnt until the teachings of Joseph Riggio I got the tool set I needed to get down into what I always seemed to know but couldnt explain properly.

One is about difference, when we think we create difference, this has to do with our reality and how language are formed for us in the society, for some people the words "is" what is real, they dont have the ability to make a difference about "jump from a bridge" and really jumping from a bridge.
One is way different than the other in experience.

Difference is a neo cortex ability, where we can expand on our consiousness into grasping more than just eat, shit and food and sex.
I guess that the neo cro magnon human had a different view of that concept though.

The very thinking is creating for us a seperation, this is where the reality of society has been pushing us trough the decades. We get to think, I am different from that other person, the realtionships and cultural habits are changing, small sub cultures always comes up as an answer to the lifestyle currently being viewed as the normal one.

If we are however into this enlighted momement, where a moment just simply stops, we become aware that this moment is special, its a difference from the one normally experienced, its in many words hightens our perceptions for some as much they become high without drugs,
its a moment where the "new" is blended with whats different from what has been.

I am bringing forward an addition to NLP.

Its all about trancsending expereince, a roadmap in how to in any moment of time trancsend your expereince into anyone you would want to experience.
Its a model from how Joseph Riggio does things, in how he views and do things where the moment is always unfolding and to adapt and expereince and do things based on that.

Its also a faith oriented model, its a model where faith actually has a structure, its not just taking the leap as Harrison Ford did in the Indiana Jones movie, the third one, where he at the end, looked across the gap to the other side, he did read the notes for those that searched for the holy grail.
He then closed his eyes, and take the leap of faith.
Naturally in the movies he used a stuntman, if the gap would been real the cost of insurance would been to high not to mention there wouldnt been a movie with him.

The fifth generation NLPèrs which I can say I belong to are reviding what has been told in NLP and to make a more useful NLP that works better.
The reason NLP sucks are due to reason that NLP was brought forward using epistomology which is about how language and representations works togheter to create a mental map of reality.
As Einstien said, "the same thinking that created the problem cant be used to solve the problem". It means the same levels of logic that NLP contains cant be used to make NLP the model in how to use it on yourself.
Its possible to use NLP for your own good but mostly that is about how to use it with others.
Not to shift your own thinking and how you feel.

So, by shifting your experience daily and to trancend your expereince, what does that mean really and what happens if you do that?

You start to take action to expereince your relationships more passionate, you craft your daily work into a effortless core, you bring happiness to your friends, you transform yourself from the inside working out.

It becomes a way of life.

Not a tool set to use even if that is required to have, without that tool set then it just becomes a great idea.

So, how are your realtionships today? How are your friends?
How are your work going?
Life?

Tranceding means that you take an ordinary task, might be needed to do but you regard it as boring, here you just shift yourself into having the expereince of this task is already done and the question what are you doing just after that task is done when it did go let say...effortless?
Maybe getting coffe?
Then what is possible to do is to add another layer of consiousness and add another expereince in the moment your having just now as you do the task, you then design in advance how this is to turn out, how you feel, and expereince what is happening as you do the task.

This then becomes the reason that there is no excuses or defenses but just the way you want to live your life.

NLP came about as the orginators wanted to know how things worked, they could replicate and do without any consious understanding or analytic reasoning until they achived the criteria that they indeed has accomplish that result they sought out to get.
Now, this made NLP a study of how we think and know what we know when we think.
Its also looped into the thinking we have, as we think difference is created,
now if we design how things to be we link the brain and body into sameness.

The task has now become the same as the expereince your having....
in essence, there is no perceptual difference between doing the task and the expereince your having.

Take a moment, now, do you take drugs?
Like coffe?
Now, isnt it so when your not drinking coffe your looking to get it and there is a difference between the cravings the habit and when your actually drinking the coffe?
What if you could have the coffe expereince now, without drinking it?
Now most would say it isnt possible but that it is.

The difference we learn to have to objects in the world as chairs and such have for us in our mental map of reality asume that when we think, that is what is real.
Not so, when we have another experience where this expereince is the same as how we think we have an alignment between the I and the object in the world collapsing into a expereince a state where the mind and body works togheter.

Now some might say, there is a huge difference between me and a chair, and correctly so, but the expereince is how we sense the world in our senses, its how we feel alive or not, it has nothing to do with chairs or the person the "I" of the indvidual, its just is the expereince and our senses are activated where the expereince is as it is and no difference occour.

Then the next moment another expereince might happen which then are dealt and experienced as it is.
One of the promises of this approach is the how to use NLP as a tool set becomes easy and directly since we bypass the reality the indvidual have brought up, no need to change again ever. We simply shifts this expereince by setting a trancending one about the future brought here and melded as one.

Another promise is that you never can feel bored, hesitate, or bad in any way ever...
Now if that is not a compellling reason then what is?
It isnt about feeling good either.

Now, confusion enter, since if it isnt about bad or good then what?

Its about how reality is formed as we think and expereince it, if there is sameness and possibility, then what happens is this is a "new" way to expereince the world, a new map to organize and orient yourself since it will become a way of being in the world.

In many ways its becomes a trademark, a stamp and there are people who leaves such expressions after them where they gone a length to just be.

Now, for me the fifth generation will not do just NLP or learn how to communicate well or read books but to go out there and expereince what it is that is beyound what is known.
The unknown, is all about what is "new" to us, what we havent yet learn to handle and grasp in our mind, we havent yet classifed the object that if we use this approach isnt a object but an expereince to have as life unfolds with you being you and the world being you and its the same as the expereince is happening.

Now, of course, is this about not to think?
No.

Its about how to think differently and still the same.

If you take NLP, they say, its the process thats important to change since the content is not important but how we view the world from the process we learned to have.
This means, alter the internal startegies and represenations people have when vieweing this is as it is.

I am saying, that NLP has a new way to accomplish change that are so easy so effortless that even the orginators now as John Grinder at least have found out where he does his circle of excellence.

He simply anchor the problem into one circle, make a neutral anchor in another circle then set a peak performance state no content one and then transfer that into the problematic circle.
The idea is to produce a new way to respond to the external anchors occouring.
You shift now into the new high peak performance state when exposed to the old contextual anchors.

But, if we simply acclaim, what if there is no problems at the first place?
The whole field of NLP with its change department would simply be missing.
No problems, then what to do?

If we elicit the being you, in that moment, no bad or good can be, if we then add a decision making from that, then you can choose freely how to be and feel and have as an expereince for the rest of your life, sameness, difference limitations or possibilities.
Its all...there to choose from.

So then becomes, the shifts of reality, the contexts in your mind to start with a consious act not the old patterns learned since you now have a consious ability to design what do expereince at your will and choosing.

Choose and decide wisely.

The riggio model is a modeling project of Joseph Riggio the arcitect of the Mythoself program.

The future of the riggio model.

As I am sitting here in north of sweden, not cold yet, still warm and no snow in 10 of november!
Simply amazing!

I like to explore, invent and find out how things work. I was one of those that picked things apart and then noticed a few screws was left over.
Nowadays I am a lot better to screw things back as it was though ;)

I had some recent posts on some NLP lists, I am at times amaze how people fear the idea of free will, at least the notion of being able to choose and decide without resorting to religious fanatical ideas in how the world is according to some book.

For example that Joseph Riggio run a cult?
Someone accused me to drag someone into that one, called mythoself btw.
I dont know, but at times promoting the idea that there is something else out there is as fruitful as Gallelio had a few hundred years back, or as Newton had or that guy Tesla or even the Mazlow teorems about magnetism.

I guess, when you set out an idea and it fits within what is already known, it becomes either accepted or questioned a little until data can prove it seems it fits the current world view.
But when you come out from a fully different worldview, something that has no relationships with concrete measurable sensory data at least if its in the future.

Faith is the word.

You got to have faith, for me I know what faith means, at least I think I do.
I did travel last year to Canada and USA to present the riggio model to date, it wasnt a full model at the time and still testing but what happen before the workshops was for me an evidence in how the model worked.
What can go wrong under the trip to Canada did go wrong, first the flight in Paris France was closed on me, the gate had closed even though my connection was booked and on order but my flight was like 10 minute late. So, I rebooked, but then my flight was due 4 hours later, on the other airport, and I knew it seemed likely I would miss the next flight to canada.
Now, in New York, I did take the bus, did miss that I needed to change bus at Grand central station, notify the driver later, he told me what to do, I was getting my bag, but then my bag was GONE!
Now, to the story it also is about that I couldnt get hold of the guy hiring me in Canada, so here I was, in USA, on the wrong place and lost my bag, not knowing what was going to happen, I was tired, dead tired, hungry and now I lost my bag, on the wrong flight, so I sat down in the bus, and still when everything went wrong I decided that I would continue to go with this, I had faith...
Now, we went back to grand central station, love and behold, my bag was there, I was pointed to the next bussstop and did arrive at the right aiport, the lady at the airport rebooked me to the next morning flight.
When I tried to get in contact with the guy I couldnt, so here I was one day before the workshop, not having any contact, and in a strange land, so I went to Canada.
Now in the coustoms I got trouble, I had a 20 minute or so examination why I should get into their country!
I did the mistake of writing "business" instead of pleasure trip for the reason to get there.
Bad idea.
Now, I had very little that proved I was there to actually do a training there, the phonenumber and the guy who hired me but everything he asked me I had an answer to since I already had done the workshops and was back home, 20 minutes later the guy in the coustoms finnaly sent me to the gate.
Phewww..
But then, I went into the cab, showed the cabdriver the adress, now he says "This is not an adress".
Now, as far everything had gone wrong, so of course this happens, in a strange country, one day late, none to meet me since he didnt know where I was, so of course the adress was not an adress.
So, the driver finnaly did make a call since I had a phonenumber there. He got the adress and left me at the proper location.
So, I go inside, and asks, "is there a training here?"
The answer was no....
So here I am, 09.57 and had no idea what to do, I showed them the note I had, and they lighted up, oh Point Neuf, downstairs, so they pointed me to the stairs, then they asked me for my name, I said Robert and they suddenly went wild, so I got some service, we got the elevator down.
Now, I went into the room, started to shake hands, and I asked who Alex was since he hired me and I had no idea how he looked.
So, I asked, when do we start?

Now, since it is 10 am!

So, there I was on time, where everything went wrong from the start and the whole journey was disaster.

Except for one thing.

My state of expereince never shifted, it was a tiny moment when I was in New York, but I decided to go ahead and continue do what I done.

What I had done was to set it up to come home and do things I do, so I was already home, sitting here writing things as I did even if I was going to present two workshops on the other side of the sea.

So, since I already had made the trip, and was back home in my experience I was never stopped from doing things that I had done.
For me the whole trip was a great expereince, with the trip and the workshops and the expereince in how this model worked.

Faith is one of those things we just do when things are outside our control, it is when everything just looks like a disaster, and nothing could save it. I dont like to take things without question them, so of course I also tested and questioned everything I was taught from Joseph, I also did test things I modeled down, test and test and did things and never questioned what I did.

So, one day I had the distinctions down, mailed Joseph and he said I got the most of the what so then I had it down, the riggio model.

What I as far have is the criterion and the how to achive a transcending experience.
Its quite easy, first you have one expereince, then you transcend it to become a richer and fuller experience.

One of the mayor patterns I got down was the basis what Joseph taught in Denmark, the Designer swish pattern.
It isnt the same as in NLP, its based on what works and then what would work even better.
Now, what happens if we take a whole expereince, where your body and mind is both having the same expereince, then elicit how it is in this context when the one you just had is in another one?
The transcending effect are coming from the event of seperating time and location.

Since this also ties with reality a few may encounter issues learning to do this since it will affect how you think about time and space at the same time.

If you have set up an intended expereince a future one, then the one your having as of now, is that one, the future one that have not happen yet, that allow us to shift the expereince we are having now based on that future expereince and we can now directly acess the state in how that is even when we havent been there yet, ie into the future...
The body will respond to that future event.

This also means that how you set this up is with your body, acessing a future intended space and time, with intention and where the mind is the body follows,
so here we have an ontological somatic state let say, being at your best, and into the future your sitting and reading a blogg somewhere, in this extatic state of pure facination and since your reading that future blogg, in that state then that would alter your perceptions wouldnt it?
Now, since you started out with this state of being at your best, then added this future event reading a blogg with a different state of pure faciantion, how is that going to work in this present time?

What will happen is that your going to have two set of expereinces when they actually are one, this however will allow you to expereince this present moment as a transcending one.

People think that the context is what produces internal responses, and rightly so, it does, but we can actually learn to respond differently, we can choose and decide what an event means to us even as it is happening, and even if it reminds us of an old one, we can choose to stay current to a future orientation where things are fully different as they are now.

This system, this model allow you to set goals and outcomes and set out to actually start doing things that are new for you and you will find any information as you go along waiting there to be set into the puzzle picture you started out from.
In many ways it is that simple, have a whole picture where to go, since your already there.

This also require us to work with faith, that it actually works like this but when you have tested it, and found out how it works, there is no going back.

I stopped doing NLP, hypnosis and other things since I know have a system that works before any NLP is applied, then I can do NLP and hypnosis and other things so much differently.
It becomes easier, smother, effortless and fun!

Your best
