Thank you Adriana for your clarifying remarks regarding the email correspondence. It is interesting to me, as I’m sitting here and reading through the forums and catching myself up on what the TJC company is providing us in the master training program. I found myself captivated by this interaction.
It’s been my experience over the last 6 years, where I credit the TJC company for encouraging, challenging and inspiring me to critically think about my own critical thinking. As I read through your remarks I was impressed by the elegance you used in seeking to understand the perspective of the person who wrote the email.
So, as I think about this my thoughts return to the Presuppositions of NLP, specifically the Law of Requisite Variety, and how it applies to our critical thinking. My thought on this topic is that our thinking is the first behavior and to have behavioral flexibility in thinking is a skill to be developed. One that we are always developing. It is my perspective that to “know a thing” is to hinder our thinking and learning development.
I think of this quote “When the master is ready, the student will appear” meaning to attain mastery is to accept the eternal role of the student.
And it is how we learn to think that makes the difference. What happens when we perceive every topic using both deductive and inductive thinking? Would this directional thinking offer greater choice of our emotional behaviors? Would we not have a greater ability to fulfill our desires and intentions? Why choose something that feels negative over something that feels positive? Or vice-versa?
NLP/TLT/Hypnosis/Coaching/Huna, are all modalities or techniques used to develop learning. Learning to develop thinking flexibility. And for me it is a continual process of learning to think about how I think.
So, my eternal gratitude to Tad, Adriana, and the staff of the TJC for the opportunity to think about the thinking I use to think with. (I know…something to think about!)
