SUPPOSE YOU COULD 

SEE YOUR MIND, WHAT THEN?

When doctors and medical specialists enable us to see the brain and see what
is happening as it is functioning, that can let them know what to do if they
find a problem.  It gives them insight into what's causing a problem and how
to remedy it.  When researchers develop new equipment for viewing the brain,
it gives them more information about the overall functioning of the brain,
how the parts are related to each other.

So it is with the mind.  When you and I can peek into the theater of the
mind and see what's going on, we can know what's working well and what's not
working well.  Now we can more effectively enable the functioning of the
mind.  I began doing that with the Matrix Model (2002/2012).  By identify
seven of the key variables of the mind, the Matrix Model provides a way to
sort things out and see relationships between them.  The structure of the
Matrix Model was very simple: 

           Three process dimensions: meaning, intention, and state.  These
create all of the internal understandings, beliefs, knowledge, emotions,
etc. for any experience. 

           Five content dimensions about one's self: you as a person
(self-esteem), you as a doer (self-confidence), your social self, your
temporal self, and your roles in various domains.

Essentially the Matrix Model focused on three major things which the mind
does-it makes meanings, it sets intentions, and it generates a sense of
self.  Bob Bodenhamer and I first applied this model to the experience of
stuttering.  We found we could model what stuttering is and how it works in
the human mind-body-emotion system using it.  We found we could specify with
precision the exact order, organization, and structure of that experience
and knowing that, how to transform it to fluency.  (See the book, In Their
Own Voice, formally titled, Mastering Stuttering and Blocking with NLP and
Neuro-Semantics).

For the past 20 years I have presented the Matrix Model in the Meta-Coaching
course as a tool for modeling the desired and undesired experiences of
coaching clients.  It has provided a way to follow the person's energy
through their system (their matrix of frames).  In the past few years,
however, I've been expanding that model by adding more of what we know is in
the mind.  The result is now The Meta Place (see 2023 Neurons #12 and #13).

What then?  What is the value of being able to see mind as a meta place?
Beyond the first benefit of being able to identify what is there, you will
be able to recognize and understand how your mind works.  Then, from
understanding how your mind works, you can first monitor its functioning and
then regulate it so that it serves you.  Today we talk about this in terms
of EQ- emotional intelligence and/or mindfulness.

For Neuro-Semanticists including Meta-Coaches, this gives one the ability to
follow a person's energy through his or her mind-body-emotion system.  This
refers to following how a person takes some stimuli in the environment,
builds up mental maps about it, and then how that information then
integrates into the body to become the person's dependable response
patterns.  And the good news is that we can do this with any and every
"experience."  The end result- we can generate a dynamic process structuring
of how a person does (or performs) any experience from stuttering, to
depression, to optimism, resilience, over-seriousness, playfulness, etc.

Seeing your mind in action is a meta-cognitive skill.  It is mindfulness and
it is meta-stating.  It puts you into a position where you can begin
managing what you are doing and how you are doing it.  This then results in
a feeling of self-awareness, self-efficacy, self-trust, and
self-determination.  Now you know why.  Now you know how to answer the
question, "Suppose you could see your mind, what then?"

We are now training Meta-Coaches to do this very thing-to see a client's
mind or mind space and to do it in real time.  I often demonstrate this in a
step-by-step fashion as I conduct and map a conversation as the dialogue
progresses.  Those who know the structure of the Meta place immediately
recognize the mapping as they follow the conversation.  This trains their
intuitions to be able to do the same.
