New Edition of the Matrix Model
2016 Third Edition
THE MATRIX MODEL
Copies of the 3rd Edition of the Matrix Model have just been delivered to
Neuro-Semantic Publications ... and are available. This completely updated
version is in a newly sized book with a new cover.
Back Cover of the book:
You, like all of us, were born in a Matrix. You didn't create that Matrix,
but you were embedded in it and absorbed it. Now many years later, are you
ready to Wake Up to the Matrix? Would you like to master your Matrix so
that it enhances your life and enables you to actualize your highest visions
and values in your best performances?
The Matrix Model is the premier systems model of Neuro-Semantics and enables
you to address the essential human questions about identity (who am I?),
competence (what can I do?) direction (what can I and should I do?), meaning
(what's the meaning of my life?), etc.
The Matrices Model focuses on how you create and hold your frames of mind
which makes you a meaning-maker par excellent. It enables you to "follow a
person's energy through his system" and model the structure of his
experiences.
If you're ready to take the red pill and train yourself to become the master
of your own Matrix, this book is for you.
"This is the most revolutionary model since NLP and Meta-States. This book
organizes all of NLP and Neuro-Semantics into one very practical model. The
Matrix Model gives you a diagnostic tool for analyzing problems and
selecting NLP and Neuro-Semantic patterns. There is nothing like this
anywhere in NLP literature."
Dr. Bob G. Bodenhamer

FOREWORD
"Men go forth to wonder at the heights of mountains,
the huge waves of the sea,
the broad flow of the rivers,
the vast compass of the ocean,
the courses of the stars,
and they pass by themselves without wondering."
St. Augustine, Confessions, Book X, Chapter 8
I
n the first of three movies on The Matrix, Morpheus opened the first one
with these words to Neo:
Morpheus: "Let me tell you why you are here. You have come because you know
something. What you know you can't explain but you feel it. You've felt it
your whole life, felt that something is wrong with the world. You don't
know what, but it's there like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It
is this feeling that brought you to me. You know what I'm talking about?
Neo: The Matrix?
Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?
Neo: Yes.
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere, it's all around us ... It is the world
that has been pulled down over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: The truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into
bondage, kept inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A
prison for your mind." (Wachowski, 2000, p. 300)
This is the first conversation between Neo and Morpheus in the movie, The
Matrix. Wonderful science fiction-if you love sci-fi movies. Yet it is
more. After all, don't you find that there's something strangely familiar
in it to your everyday life? Why is that?
I think it reminds us so much of our everyday lives because we also live in
a matrix. We also live in a matrix of frames. Frames of mind, frames of
reference, and frames of meaning. These are also invisible to the empirical
eye and can only be seen by the eye of the mind. I noted this in the book
Frame Games (1999) (now titled, Winning the Inner Game, 2007) which
describes the cognitive-behavioral frames that we construct as we move
through life and which become our framework for perception, behavior,
feeling, skills, relating, and living. It was from Frame Games as a model
and as a training that I developed the Matrix Model.
Who is this Book For?
This book is for anyone who works with people and wants a model that will
help to simplify the complexities that we humans bring to our tasks and
relationships. It's for anyone who wants to more fully understand him or
herself. It's for those who seek to influence people -teachers, trainers,
therapists, coaches, parents, managers, leaders, people in sales, marketing,
writing, consultants, business change agents, and law.
It is especially for those who know and use Neuro-Linguistic Programming
(NLP) and Neuro-Semantics as part of their tool chest of effective patterns
and models. I designed the Matrix Model originally to serve as an unifying
framework for tying together all of the models, insights, principles, and
tools of NLP and Neuro-Semantics together.
The Matrix Model is for anyone who wants better self-understanding,
self-management and self-leadership. The model gives you a new way for
thinking about yourself, your life, how you experience life, how you know
what you know, and how others do the same. The Matrix Model describes how
you create the meaning structures of your mind-body system which, in turn,
provide you with your sense of what's real, at least what we call "reality."
The model describes your mind-body experience in terms of frames and of
multiple levels of frames.
If you're interested in understanding yourself, another, or human
functioning in general, the Matrix Model will provide that. If you're
interested in how a group mind works, the frames within frames that
determine and govern a cultural framework, political framework, that of a
business, or any other community, this model will provide that.
The Origin of the Matrix Model
The Matrix Model emerged in my awareness in the winter of 2001-2002 and
represented at that time the newest model in Neuro-Semantics after the
discovery of the Meta-States Model in 1994. My colleague, Dr. Bob
Bodenhamer, elicited much of this model from me while we were doing a
month-long training in Sydney Australia. For many evenings, we worked out
many of the details over dinner. How did Bob elicit it from me? It's
actually a funny story.
I was presenting NLP when, at some point, I commented that "I never leave
home without my state. Everywhere I go I'm in a state." Later while
speaking about the structure of meaning, I said, "I never leave home without
my meanings." Then several days later while introducing Meta-States, I
off-handedly said, "I never leave home without my self. Everywhere I go I
find that I am there." It was a joke. A one-liner. At that point Bob
chimed in and, in his North Carolina accent, asked:
"Michael, how many things do you never leave home without?"
He was serious, well, okay semi-serious. But I wasn't. I said, "Seven
things I never leave home without, Bob." He wanted to know what they were.
That off-handed comment was a joke in which I made up the number on the
spot. Later over fish and chips he pressed me about it. "If there were
other constructs that you've created that you- that we - never leave home
without, what would they be?"
That question sent me on a year long study of the basic principles in human
development. Via the research in the pioneer thinkers in the field of
Developmental Psychology: Piaget, Erickson, Fowler, Keagan, and others, I
constructed The Matrix Model using five categories of the Self: Self
(Self-Esteem or value), Power (Self-Confidence), Others (social self), Time
(temporal self), and World (our universes of meaning).
Afterwards, I presented the Matrix Model in many places-Moscow, Mexico,
London, and Johannesburg, South Africa, etc. then, even though my
understanding was still rudimentary, I rushed the first edition to print to
put it into the hands of Neuro-Semanticists and NLP practitioners. I did
that primarily because there were so many colleagues who wanted to begin
using and learning this structure for modeling the mind-body system. They
recognized that The Matrix Model would give them an efficient and effective
way to think about working with the human system for change, empowerment,
and transformation. Bob created a PowerPoint presentation of it for our
website and Tom Welch, Sr. made a video-audio recording of one of the early
presentations.
The Structures and the Sources of the Matrix Model
As a psychologist I stand on the shoulders of many giants who have explored
and charted out the territory of human "nature" and functioning before me.
I developed the three process matrices within the Matrix Model mostly from
Cognitive-Behavioral Psychology, Cognitive Linguistics, Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP), General Semantics, and the Meta-States Model. Within it
you will also see pieces derived from Glasser's Reality Therapy and Control
Theory and Frankl's Logotherapy. The five content matrices came from both
Developmental Psychology and Phenomenology.
While this extensive theoretical background of The Matrix Model might imply
that it is complex, the model actually is very simple. In presenting it
around the world, I have found that even those brand new to Neuro-Semantics
easily pick up on the structure with an understanding that allows them to
begin using it immediately to transform themselves and others.
In rushing the first edition to print I knew that there are many unfinished
parts to the model. I also knew that it would be in turning it loose and
giving others a chance to bring their knowledge, competence, background, and
experimental use of the model that would detail out other facets of the
model. That is precisely what has happened. For the second edition I was
indebted to so many for the questions, suggestions, and experiences that
hundreds of people offered. Yet it was not really completed with even that
edition. There's more research and development that will be made to The
Matrix Model.
To Best Learn this Model-
Sit back and read through the entire text to get an overview of the Matrix
Model without worrying about understanding every detail or facet of the
model. When you have a general sense of the structure, then use that to
first apply the model to one of your own experiences. This will allow you
to discover and explore your own Matrix of frames. Thereafter you will be
ore skilled to use it in communicating, negotiating, coaching, managing,
doing therapy, leading, etc. Because this is an evolving model, I am
interested in your comments and experiences. May you find yourself becoming
a Master of your Matrix.
