MAY ALL YOUR META-STATES

COALESCE

 

When you meta-state a resourceful thought, belief, state, emotion, or
physiology, you bring that piece of experience to your current experience
and apply it to the state of mind, emotion, or body that you are in.  That's
what "meta-stating" means.  You apply joy to learning and create joyful
learning.  You access and apply respect to anger to create respectful anger.
In Neuro-Semantics, we talk about this as coalescing.  The state you access
and apply coalesces into the first state.   Given that, you may have several
questions.

"What exactly is this coalescing?  How does this coalescing work?  What's
going on when one state coalesces into another state?  What are some
examples of this coalescing?"

 

The idea of coalescing is that of two things that "grow together," that
"unite into a whole," and that "fuse together."  Water and coffee beans do
that.  Put hot boiling water on the ground up coffee bean and presto!
Coffee!  Now when you hold a cup of Starbucks coffee in hand and look at the
way that the water and the bean coalesce, think about how you would separate
the two.  "Impossible!"  The water and the bean have so coalesced that they
are one.

 

Coalescing your states upon states is similar to the percolating of coffee.
As you take two separate things, coffee beans and water, so with taking two
different states or aspects of states (thoughts, beliefs, emotions,
sensations, physiology, breathing, posture, etc.) and let them
inter-penetrate each other.  In coffee, you heat the water and pass the
boiling water through the crushed beans to get coffee.  The end result is
something more than water, more than coffee beans, it is something more than
the sum of these parts.

 

Similar to when you meta-state.  You take another thought or feeling to your
current experience so that there's a new alchemy.  The second state starts
off being higher or meta to your first state or experience.  But it does not
stay that way.  It does not stay separate and distinct.  It coalesces into
the first.  Then, from this emerges something new, something that represent
a new whole or gestalt.  The emergence of this gestalt creates a new kind of
state that in Neuro-Semantics we call a gestalt state.

 

This is the feed-forward process that's inherent in systems and systemic
thinking.  When you feed (or put) a new and more resourceful state, idea,
meaning, belief, etc. forward into your current experience, you texture or
percolate your previous thoughts and feelings with it.  This also is an
integral part of Meta-States because it is a systems model.  When you make a
meta-move to a higher level of awareness and bring it to your current
experience, you are giving feedback to yourself of that higher awareness.
Then when you apply it to yourself, you are feeding it forward.  This is
also part and parcel for how we are then able to "follow the energy" of a
client through his or her human system in coaching and training.  Obviously,
this different kind of thinking separates it from linear thinking.  It is
systems thinking.

Feed back is information that you get back from the world and from others
"out there" beyond your nervous systems.  It is information into you, into
your system of thinking and feeling.  You then feed it back another time as
you put it forward into your mental representational movie.  After that you
can feed other thoughts back to yourself about your first thoughts.   You
are reflexively thinking and feeling.

 

Feed forward is how you transform that information into energy.  You turn
your thoughts into signals that the body transforms into feelings, urges,
impulses, etc.  As a metaphor, you metabolize your thoughts and meanings.
As you feed this energy forward into your body, your neurology (brain,
nervous systems, motor cortex, etc.) translate them into speech, behaviors,
and all of your responses so they become your skills to the outside world.

 

All of this is involved in the coalescing process.  You bring information
inside and then you draw conclusions about it.  Eventually you feed-forward
information or emotion into your experience so that it becomes energy in
your mind-body system.  Every time you draw a conclusion and feed that
conclusion back to yourself, you create more meaning, more significance.
You thereby set a higher frame.

 

Feed forward describes how you take a higher level thought, belief, emotion,
etc. and send it back down into your body and neurology.  This is what
happens in the Mind-to-Muscle pattern.  Here you take a high level principle
that you know "intellectually" is true and valid, something that you want to
get yourself to do.  If you did, that would make a positive difference in
your life.  But now you know and don't do.  To close that knowing-doing gap,
this pattern enables you to linguistically drive the principle down into
your system.  You turn the principle into a belief, then into a decision,
then into a feeling state, then an action to engage the external world.  In
the Mind-to-Muscle process, you feed forward a principle into your mind-body
system so you feel the principle.  You bring that knowledge down and coach
your body to feel it.

 

As a metaphor, you are metabolizing your ideas.   As you metabolize food and
transform food into fuel, you do the same thing with ideas.  You eat fish
and chips, pizzas and tacos and somehow the fish in the river and the
potatoes in the garden become part and parcel of you!  It becomes part of
your skin, eyes, fingernails, internal organs.  You masticate the food, tear
it apart, digest it, and then assimilate it so that what was other now
becomes part of self.  Metabolism describes a basic transformation process
for how stuff "out there" comes in and becomes a living part of your
biology.

 

Coalescing is a kind of metabolism.  It is a metabolism of ideas and
emotions as you access it and apply it to your experience.  You bring mental
stuff from conversations, books, symbols, etc. and masticate them as you
think and reflect upon them.  You tear the ideas apart, digest them and
assimilate them into yourself.  Similarly, you integrate beliefs and make
them an integral part of yourself.   This is coalescing.  When you apply one
state to another (joy to learning; calmness to fear, respect to anger,
abundance to relating, etc.) and bring the two states together and allow
them to become linked- they can coalesce.  They "unite or come together in
one body or mass" so that the two become one and operate as one.  This
explains why a coalesced meta-state feels like a primary state.  From the
inside, you experience it as if it were one thing.

 

This is the process by which you are metabolizing your meanings so that you
are commissioning your body to feel them.  You are commissioning your
neurology to experience this new gestalt.  You are closing the knowing-doing
gap and incorporating (put into your body or corpus) or embodying what you
know in your mind.  This creates the personal power of congruence.  It
enables you to get yourself to actually do and perform what know and believe
in your mind.  This unites meaning-and-performance, neurology and semantics,
and knowing-and-doing.  It gives you the synergy of the whole.  This is what
lies at the heart of self-actualizing your potentials.  Are you ready to
coalesce?  Great!  Here's to your positive coalescing in 2016!
