If it ain't Zen, WTF is the MythoSelf Process then??? Essentially the MythoSelf Process is the “the ability to freely play and take action” it’s about “being childlike and creative in the way you experience, approach and show up in the world” … but, it ain’t Zen, or any other frackin’ thing either … we’ll come back to all this, but first we need to lay some groundwork. Sometimes folks who come to experience the MythoSelf Process or to learn “how to do it” meaning that they want to become proficient in running the process with others as well as for themselves, assume that the MythoSelf Process is “like” Zen or something. Here’s the first rule of the MythoSelf Process (NO! The first rule of MythoSelf is NOT: “You do not talk about MythoSelf.”): The first rule of MythoSelf is: “THIS IS NOT THAT.” Let’s start there things are themselves, i.e: what they are, no more, no less and not “LIKE” something other than themselves, regardless of what we’re referring Continue Reading
The Skeleton Key To Transformational Performance
Why We Focus On Neurocognitive Developmental Training As The Basis Of Instigating Transformational Change And Peformance Breakthrough At each stage of human existence the adult is off on his quest to his Holy Grail, the way of life he sees by which to live.- Clare W. Graves Because people get stuck when the worldview they are using doesn't accommodate the outcomes they intend ... they need a way to get out of their "stuck state." Neurocognitive Developmental Training provides the skeleton key that unlocks the mystery of success. This is the essential and most rewarding reason "WHY" it makes sense to get Neurocognitive Developmental Training (NDT) ... but, once you dive down the rabbit hole you'll find so much more that will be valuable to you too. Neurocognitive Developmental Training is all about building "(Human) Adaptive Intelligence" - i.e.: the ability to adapt your thinking to the situations and contexts you encounter and are engaged in at any given Continue Reading
SENSING TIME
Just like seeing or hearing TIME is a sense. I was in a brief exchange with James Tsakalos, an NLP Trainer, colleague and FB friend of mine, about setting time frames in training events. Fundamentally it was about when we begin and end training days with groups. I mentioned that I almost always begin the first day at 10:00 or 11:00, while I think James likes to start early. typically around 8:00. My reasoning for this is that for most folks who work they typically begin their day earlier rather than later, say 8:00 - 9:00 versus 10:00 to 11:00, and starting at a different time signals very clearly "THIS is NOT THAT." The same can be said for other aspects of timing during the day, e.g.: ending times, or breaks ... I usually break for 90 minutes for lunch, not 30 or 60 minutes. Again in part for the distinction that it makes versus many people's standard routine, as well as because it gives them longer to integrate and incorporate the material we covered in the Continue Reading
Leaping Forward …
Preparing The Future ... Neuro-Evolutionary Modeling I posted something on Facebook in response to comment made there about how someone wasn't getting the point that the person posting was trying to make ... not an uncommon scenario unfortunately. But there are different reasons people won't get a point someone is making ... maybe the point isn't being clearly made, or getting it requires a bit of background that's missing, or sometimes it can just be that the people disagree and that creates a block in the communication. However, in this case I believe it was something else ... a fundamental inability for people to see anything that's beyond their neuro-evolutionary development. Here's my response to that posting: I'm a big fan of neuro-evolutionary developmental modeling. Think of the work of Julian Jaynes and his bicameral mind theory, or the work of Clare Graves or Jane Lovinger, or E.O. Wilson's work in sociobiology. This is where my attention has Continue Reading
