@InspiritiveNLP what post-graduate program are you talking about? Could you provide a link to the institution that offers such a program?

Fascinating. Basically, in order to learn new skills or aspire to be greater in a given field, your cup has to be empty. I guess emptying your cup is the hard part.

@simonhdenis A key to NLP modelling is creating a 'know nothing' state within yourself before entering into the context where you have exposure to the expert engaged in the skill you want to capture. Creating an appropriate state for modelling is an important skill that we teach as on the modelling module of our post-graduate program in NLP.

This is why I think it is so important to consistently re-evaluate what one thinks they know and refine their knowledge base, I'm hoping to cultivate the art of "open-mindedness" in that I'm open to learning new things. My goal is kinesthetic development and more importantly interpersonal and social skills.

@aarojas Some of language John uses draws more from the intellectual antecedents of NLP, the cognitive sciences and especially linguistics. I personally don't think his use of language has anything to do with copywriting, packaging and marketing especially considering that so many trainers of NLP fail to reference to Grinder when taking his work.

[aarojas]

@razieloner77 agreed. Grinder just invented a language with neurolinguistic computer vocabulary to describe it, which has allowed him to copywrite it, package it, and sell it. What do others think?

@TuRdSandwitch18 It's obvious you didn't listen because one of the things he talked about was being open minded and listening to new things. Absorbing what you heard was what the whole thing is about. What he is really saying is intelligent people will learn new concepts by letting them flow over them, rather than trying to grasp them. One should not try to reach for the knowledge, one should let the knowledge come to them.

it mean if you have a full cup of tea, you cannot pour any more tea into your cup,, what he is saying is empty the damn cup before you pour anymore tea and you might get to taste some new tea

Well NLP can help you get laid, make friends, make money... There are a multitude of NLP applications already and new ones being developed. However, you need to learn NLP first before you can apply it.

We have more to unlearn than we have to learn!
