Chi follows mind, blood follows chi.

[alittlerock]

I'm liking it phil!

[BLAZINGSTAR322]

Sir sorry to bother i really enjoyed your video but why are you attributing meta magic to yourself isn't it Richard Bandler who came up with the idea ?

[metamagick]

@BLAZINGSTAR322 Richard Bandler has done many magical things and his work is certainly an influence on this stuff (along with, for instance, in this exercise, Aikido and many other practices), but no, meta-magick is not his idea.

@metamagick Sir, do you think that most people ignore the modeling aspects of NLP?

[metamagick]

@emomagica Not sure I can speak for most people. When I teach NLP Practitioner courses (see hawkridgeproductions(dot)com), it is largely about modeling. I do understand that some people get caught up in learning techniques for various interventions and believe that substitutes for modeling. IMO, learning specific techniques is a good way to learn what kinds of things to observe and listen for and what kinds of questions to ask... but if that's all you learn, you're not getting the full benefit.

the same as lilith told me that we have to focus then put our intent with that what we focus on and then look what happens.bless you all.

this guy comes out in a video i have called Magik and Entheogens vol.1 Cannibus

[DaveIrie]

With your attention on something in back of you, wouldn't the likely result be that you don't push as much forward? To me it seems like a matter of momentum.

[metamagick]

Seems like a good explanation. Have you performed the experiment?

[chaoboy11]

"Don't think about an elephant"

[CyricRO]

either way.

[metamagick]

Good example of how keeping your attention on something changes your reality. Thanks. Now please stop posting this crap. I had to remove 4 of these before I could block you.

[enilegnave21]

The Bible tells us to keep our attention on Christ, i.e., when crossing the Sea of Galilee, a storm blows up, and the apostles awaken to see Our Lord walking toward them on the water. Peter asks to come to Jesus and does so, until he looks down and he begins to sink.

So it is we should drive in a potential accident scenario. Do not look toward the object with which you might collide. Look away to something else.

The natural tendency is to move toward the object of your attention.

Praise God!

cut it out. like attracts like and that means ideas too. ever trip on a crack in the pavement when looking up at the sky? i have.

[oolceeoo]

magick does exist, but it cannot be perceived with common sense! Reflect!

[metamagick]

Right. Common sense implies evaluating things from your preconceptions, rather than experimenting and exploring and using your actual, in fact, senses.

[NativeOfAfrica]

this is a clever way to get the audience to do what this guy says.

Its like what we teach people to do when they work as salesmen.

after they do the first thing you ask, most of them will obey you.

[metamagick]

Paranoid much?

[entheogenic1]

I think he gets the audience to do what he says just by asking nicely. From what I've seen of Phil's work, it's about teaching people to think for themselves. Just because you use techniques unethically doesn't mean they are the only way to use them.

[VictorMalvado]

Yeah this is totally interesting. Where the attention goes the energy flows. Great stuff!

[simsguildwars]

I don't get how this is magick and I have no idea what you are tryiong to proof

[metamagick]

You are absolutely right; you have no idea what I am trying to prove. (Actually I have no interest in "proving" anything... nor have I claimed that this is "magick" - tho you might refresh your memory of Aleister Crowley's definition of magick, just for the heck of it.)

[simsguildwars]

so were can I see his version of magick?

[metamagick]

Wikipedia(dot)org might be a good place to start. Search for "magick". Google is useful, too.

[simsguildwars]

ok well I searched ggogel it gives me REALLY MAIGCK SPELLS :)

[metamagick]

I think you need the REALLY MAGICK SPELL CHECKER.

[teide72]

I'd like to read your article on re-experiencing psychedelic states. can you now trip for free, not dealing with criminals and not failing a blood/urin test? that would be cool, dude.

[metamagick]

Check out the upcoming Altered States course at Maybe Logic Academy maybelogic(dot)org.

[d3c0]

it makes so much sense. You can't move forward with your mind behind you

[stan7008]

Not about attention influencing (objective?) reality, but about attention affecting behaviour.

[metamagick]

Your behavior isn't part of your reality?

[Dillon02003]

i think he means more specifically...

[metamagick]

I don't think he knows what he means. Nonetheless, more specifically, perception and behavior are the component elements of what we usually take as "reality." Zen riddle: does reality exist without someone to perceive it? And just who is that master who makes the grass green anyway?

[AngryJay]

great concept similar to bruce lee's teachings about punching.

[metamagick]

Absolutely... and similar to board-breaking techniques in karate and the kinds of focus-of-attention used in aikido, jujitsu and other martial arts.
