MODELING BEYOND BELIEFS

 

 

Modeling any experience inevitably involves modeling beliefs.  Whether you
are modeling an experience of excellence or an experience of dysfunction and
pathology, beliefs are involved.  They drive the experience.  That's why
every NLP modeling process that I've seen to date involves examining the
beliefs that are involved in the experience.  We do that explicitly in
Neuro-Semantics by examining the belief system, that is, the system of
beliefs which make up the person's matrix of frames about something.  Yet
there is something more within complex human experiences- something that
transcends beliefs.

"What's beyond beliefs?  Isn't it beliefs all the way up?  Isn't that what
you wrote in Meta-States and the Matrix Model?" 

 

Yes, all of that is true.  From the perspective of beliefs, we could say
that it is beliefs all the way up.  Yet when beliefs grow up, they become
something more and something different.  So what do we have when a belief
grows up?  We have knowledge, principles, premises, assumptions, etc.

 

This actually explains why we start with a principle or a concept when we do
the Mind-to-Muscle Pattern.  We start with a general statement that is
universally recognized by experts in a field as a legitimate and generalized
statement, "Wealth is created by spending less than you make."  And then we
can turn it in to one or more beliefs, "I believe in spending less than I
make."  "I believe in earning more than I spend."

 

When I first modeled wealth creation, I first had to establish some time
parameters-how long does it take to create wealth as in financial stability,
financial independence, and/or financial freedom?  Then I established the
stages that a person would have to negotiate to reach these various
milestones indicating different levels of "wealth creation."  And as I wrote
in the book, Inside-Out Wealth (2010, chapter 2) there are seven stages of
wealth creation and for the average person this requires approximately ten
years.  Hence, the reason we create in that book, and in the training, a
Ten-Year Wealth Creation Plan.

 


>From that arises the next question which is critical whenever it comes to

any longer-term experience that a person has to persist in with constancy,
regularity, and discipline, 

"What do I need to hold as a higher level principle that will sustain me for
the long haul?"

"What concept, principle, or premise do I need to set as my larger level
frame of mind so that I can move through the various stages and steps within
each stage, effectively and efficiently?"

 

What do the successful wealth creators believe about themselves as wealth
creators, about wealth, about creating wealth, etc. that are expressions of
an even higher meta-level frame- a principle or concept about wealth and one
that sustains them over the years?  Consider these principles:

Wealth creation is a long term proposition, seldom is it created overnight.

Wealth creation has to be holistic (involving the whole of life) and not
limited just to finances.

Wealth creation depends on adding massive value via products, services, and
information to people.

Wealth creation is a matter of time if a person knows where he or she is in
the process and what to do to move through the current stage to the next
one.

 

Principles like these describe an understanding about the experience and how
the experience works that can then sustain a person's perspective over
months, even years.  Such principles facilitates a realistic understanding
of the experience that enables people to maintain the discipline with
patience and persistence.

 

Because principles establish guidelines and rules for operating, once you
set them as your frame-of-mind, they operate as a self-organizing attractor
in your mind-body system.  And that's why, in part at least, they represent
such an important feature to model.  If you can interview in such a way as
to elicit the functional principles in a person, you will be able to detect
the dynamic structures that are so much more than just beliefs.  And this
will give you a key to what enables the person to persist over time in
making real his or her vision.
