Quote from AMT4SWA:
has NLP as the primary means to changing limiting beliefs also. NLP works good IMO, but it does take some time for break throughs to occur. Nothing comes quick in life that is good, you must take the time to focus and learn.
You really hit the nail on the head.
Break throughs represent a person succesfuly enduring the risk of trying to use new, then provisional pictures. Gradually, reinforcement through experience allows the person to be safer and "at home" with the provisional picture that can and do replace his "survival" modus.
In ET you can read months and months of journals and threads where a person is absolutely not going to replace his familiar safe places with anything logical rational and an improvement upon his habitual safe places.
The myth that discipline in the use of mediocre things is the best guard against blowing out, is really a rationalization for striving to prevent oneself from seeking a "safe harbor" when difficulties are encountered and continue to build. The safe harbor turns out to be, very unfortunately, the NLP failure pictures that are burned deeply and almost subconciously into a person. Being safe is achieved by reverting back to places where survival skirting among islands of failure skillfully prolongs an artificial kind of "hope".
The "rock bottom" symptoms sometimes allow a person to grasp considering provisional pictures. Taking a break allows a peson to leave raw feelings lay behind him unseen. Commonly denial and suppression is perfected; this "fogging" effort sometimes shatters though. I think the pervasive anger people have represents the last stages of "fighting" before fleeing. It is difficult to watch. I had a personal experience of watching "a fighter" the last few days; because I control others, I finally said enough. Largely because it was disruptive to a group of people really getting the job done.
The fight before fleeing does not lead to "rock bottom' or glipsing provisional pictures. For others who don't sacrifice themselves, you keenly note the extent of the effort required. Besides enduring risk, there is an energy cost at a time when, for sure, there is little light at the end of the tunnel. Realizing breakthroughs after work and reinforcement is the very profound thing that makes more and more success possible. NLP picturesare constantly being built; they are either destructive or enboulding. They do not go away. It is so difficult to understand why a person would continue to sacrifice himself if he reasonably be building; he always has the choice to grow and build.
