"ACCESSING PERSONAL GENIUS"
(3 Day Training)
March 10th, 11th & 12th, 2006
Portland, Oregon USA
Sponsored by A Positive Change
Seminar held at Marriott, Courtyard Portland Airport
We
begin the basic Meta-States Training by introducing
the model and applying it to the subject of "personal
genius" (or personal mastery). The design of this
training has evolved over the years of training. Through
it we have discovered that most people pick up on and
learn the Meta-States model as a model best by learning
to apply it to a specific area of concern. And what
could be a better than applying to self? And especially
to applying to how we can set the higher frames that
enable us to truly be at our best? That's what this
training is about.
The
Meta-States model represents the next step in NLP as
it takes NLP to a new and higher level. It is also the
foundation for the emerging field of Neuro-Semantics.
As such, Meta-States represents a different kind of
thinking, it's about a non-linear kind of thinking,
systemic thinking, and being able to follow the natural
reflexivity of the mind.
In
providing a dynamic application of Meta-States by showing
it's immediate application to your own personal mastery,
we demonstrate the supreme practicality of Meta-States.
This also allows you to discover how to think in non-linear
ways about your own mind and self-reflexive consciousness.
By taking your mind up-and-up and away into the higher
reaches of human awareness, we move up "the levels
of mind" where we can access our higher executive
powers. This enables us to develop focus, intentionality,
meaning, pleasure, etc. Then you can more efficiently
use the higher levels of mind for problem solving, creativity,
relationships, etc.
The
following synopsis provides a description of the 3 Day
Basic Meta-States Training that leads to Certification
in Meta-States and provides the foundation for Neuro-Semantic
Certification.
Synopsis
of "Accessing Personal Genius"
Day
1: The Model:
Introduction to the Levels of Mind or Meta-States Model
- Introducing
Meta-States as a Model of Reflexivity in states of
consciousness
Introduction to using and working with meta-cognitive
abilities, how to recognize and monitor our own self-reflexive
awareness, to step out of the muddles and closed-ended
loops.
- Meta-Stating
Learning: Accessing the experience of Accelerated
Learning
Introduction
to how we can learn about our learning in order to
create a mental-emotional state of accelerated learning.
This enables us to re-label and reframe our inattentiveness
and to learn how to learn best using our strengths.
- Meta-Stating
our Concept of "Self:" Self-Acceptance,
Appreciation and Awe (Esteem)
The Neuro-Semantic approach to self-esteeming involves
accessing the resources states of acceptance, appreciation,
and esteem and applying these to our self. This provides
a very quick route to cut out self-contempting, self-depreciating,
etc. It distinguishes between self-esteem as a human
being and self-confidence as a human doing.
- Meta-Stating
"Thought" with "Confirmation"
to Generate the Gestalt of "Belief."
The
Meta-Yes-ing Belief Change Pattern
In
Neuro-Semantics we distinguish a mere "thought"
from a "belief" in terms of logical levels.
We can "think" and even fully "understand"
lots of things that we don't believe. When we believe,
we move up a level and confirm or validated the thoughts
in some way. By so validating a thought, we say "Yes"
to it. When we say "No" to it, we dis-validate
it and reduce it from a belief to a mere thought.
Since limiting beliefs get in the way and define therapeutic
dysfunction, the ability to quickly and even conversationally
transform beliefs gives a therapist a very powerful
therapeutic intervention.
Dragon
Slaying & Taming: Meta-Stating Morbid States:
The
power of meta-stating not only creates our highest
and most profound states, but misused can create layers
of negative thoughts and feelings about our states.
To the extent that we turn our psychic energies against
ourselves, we put ourselves at odds with ourselves
and create Dragon States. Neuro-Semantics enables
us to slay, tame, and transform such dragons.
Day
2: Higher Levels of Mind for "Genius"
- Meta-Stating
Concepts: The Neuro-Semantics
of Human States
As
a model about the structure of meaning at multiple
levels, Neuro-Semantics distinguishes associative
meanings (Stimulus-Response meanings) and contextual
or frame meanings. Since we frequently suffer from
having a "poor relationship" to some concept
which can undermine our personal mastery, we will
want to be able to work more efficiently with conceptual
states.
- Meta-Stating
Using the "As If" Frame: Meta-Stating the
Concept of a "Miracle"
Utilizing
Brief Psychotherapy's "The Miracle Question,"
we use a meta-stating process to spatially anchor
"possibility thinking" in a chair to give
ourselves a chance to step aside from "the kind
of thinking that created the problem" and to
think "outside of the box."
- Mind-to-Muscle
Pattern
Concepts
and high level principles can be turned into "muscle
memory" as we recognize when our fingers "know"
a keyboard, and the function keys on a computer keyboard,
or when our body knows how to drive. To take great
ideas and to put them into neurology transforms and
empowers us so we can effectively handle the challenges
of everyday life.
- Meta-Stating
Pleasure: Meta-Pleasuring ? Gestalting Happiness
Pleasure
at the primary level of experience essentially involves
stimulating the nervous system and all of the sense
receptors. Yet there are higher level pleasures, the
meanings and values that we endow things with. Discovering
our strategy for pleasuring puts this dynamic into
our hands so that we can take charge of it, rather
than living as a passive victim who demands that others
and things "make" us happy. This also details
the structure of addictions and in De-Pleasuring,
we can undo the semantic damage that occurs when we
over-load an event with too much meaning.
Day
3: Qualifying and Texture Your Genius States
- Meta-Stating
Intentionality: Taking an Intentional Stance with
Our Highest Objectives
In
"consciousness" we have both attentions
and intentions. By strengthening our highest intentional
meanings, we can begin to live more purposefully as
we access and use the higher levels of our mind to
direct our everyday attentions. The Aim Game.
- Meta-Stating
Committed Focus: Accessing
Your Personal Genius
A
pattern for accessing, strengthening, and containing
a focus state of "flow." Accessing the personal
genius of impeccable state shifting, focus, self-trust,
commitment, and ability to get lost in the moment.
- Meta-Stating
Congruence: Meta-Alignment and Integration
A
pattern for ending incongruence and internal conflict
that would undermine personal efficacy and power.
This pattern clears up such incongruence by aligning
everyday activities and behaviors with one's highest
values, purposes, and beliefs. Great for anyone who
wants more mastery and congruence in the way he or
she works, plays, or moves through the world.
- Meta-Stating
Integrity Beyond Language, or "Spinning Icons.
A
second pattern for alignment and congruence using
a nonpropositional approach. Designed to create a
higher level from for congruence without needing to
put the solution into words.
