SYSTEMIC EXCELLENCE #3

Neuro-Semantic NLP as a System

 

 

The point of the previous Meta Reflection (#47) is that if we have a
complete system in Neuro-Semantic NLP, we don't need to be eclectic.  And
the fact is-we do have a complete system!  The NLP Model and the
Neuro-Semantic Model together provide a consistent, thorough, and systemic
approach to working with people.  That's precisely why you do not serve
yourself, or your participants, well when you drag in bits and pieces from
other models, whether it is the Enneagram, EMDR, Thought-Field, or dozens of
other models, etc.

 

Actually, when a person does that, he or she demonstrates a lack of fully
understanding the richness of the Neuro-Semantic NLP Model and how to use it
systemically and systematically.  What follows comes from The Sourcebook of
Magic, Volume II.  This information provides details for understanding the
systemic nature of this field.  It is under the section, "NLP and
Neuro-Semantics as Models" and focuses on the nature of a true model, model
with a capital M.

 

"Because we present NLP and Neuro-Semantics as models, a legitimate and
profitable exploration can be had by questioning what a model is and what
are the necessary and sufficient elements that make up a model.

           What does it take to have a full model?

           How is NLP a model?

           How is Meta-States and Neuro-Semantics a model?

 


As a model, NLP grew out of numerous models that preceded it as the
co-developers enriched the former models and constructed a model about the
structure of experience.  This development of model building and refinement
now continues with Neuro-Semantics.  The key to the Neuro-Semantic updating
and re-modeling of NLP has been driven by the going-meta process.  The
discovery of the Meta-States Model has enabled the remodeling of many of the
facets and patterns in NLP.  What happened is that we identified numerous
meta-domains within NLP.  For example, the discovery that sub-modalities
were not sub, but actually the cinematic features of the representations,
hence meta-modalities.

 

Nor is the process complete.  Thinking more strategically and systemically
about the models that we now have will enable us to continue to create more
comprehensive models and refine the ones we have in the coming years.

NLP and Neuro-Semantics Compared

 

 




The Necessary and Sufficient Pieces that Comprise a Model

 

1) A Theory:       

A theoretical background, foundation, hypothesis, etc. that offers an
explanatory model for how the model or system works, the governing ideas and
how to test and refine the ideas in order to create new applications.  

Ideas that can be tested and falsified

Answers Why Questions

Epistemology

 

 

2) Variables and Elements: 

The pieces and parts that make up the components of the model.

Answers the What Questions.

What elements are absolutely necessary and sufficient to make the model
work?

What processes?

 

 

3) The Guiding and Operational Principles: 

The "laws" or principles (presuppositions) that define and articulate the
mechanisms that make it work and how to use them in a methodological,
systematic, and systemic way.  

This gives one the ability to keep refining the model.

Answers the How questions:

How does the model work?

                What processes, mechanisms govern it?

 

4) The Technologies or Patterns: 

The specific tools that provide immediate application for using the Model or
System to achieve something.

Answers how to questions:

How do you reframe meaning?  Etc.
