This parts conflict scenario is something that does happen, we are familiar with it, and so we are generally happy to accept the idea that people have "parts". In and of itself, that's already both dubious as well as problematic; where the concept of parts begins to move into insanity is when we start talking in terms of, "The part of me that is my father."

Understanding logical levels, what they are, how they work, and finding your way around the logical levels of a problem, system or ecology with accuracy and ease is a very important part of sorting information in such a way that it becomes USEFUL.

This article contains an introduction to the concept of logical levels as it is used in NLP, using the example of The Genius Symbols, and a logical levels diagram.

NLP language plus a little EmoTrance energy work make for an interesting combination. Here is an article from 2008 on taking apart a sentence about depression, and doing a bit of neuro linguistic programming with it, looking at the presuppositions, and FEELING the energy effects. Cool stuff!

EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques has been described as being the "missing kinaesthetic quadrant" for NLP.

In this excerpt from the special report "NLP & EFT", Dr Hartmann discusses Releasing Blocking Issues To NLP Techniques, Basic Uses Of EFT In The NLP Treatment Flow, and Using EFT To Clear Limiting Beliefs In The NLP Facilitator.

Trusting, Trusting The Unconscious Mind ...

One of the major precepts of advanced NLP language and hypnosis is that the NLP operator have at least some communication with their unconscious mind, as it is impossible to deal with the real complexities of intent, outcome, language, state and energy in consciousness alone. To create a successful NLP type hypnotic induction, for example, it is the unconscious mind that needs to deliver the right internal representation in the right order and sequence to achieve the desired outcome for the trance.

Here is a redefinition of what the unconscious mind is, how it works, and how to successfully communicate with the unconscious mind, by Dr Silvia Hartmann, Designer of Project Sanctuary & The Genius Symbols.

To control exactly where in time the consciousness travels, or in other words, where to place one's attention in past, present or future, is a movement of consciousness that is one of the core skills in reality creation, and of course, in any form of meaningful magic.

This NLP Energy exercise in conscious movements by Dr Hartmann offers a different path to creating a positive future, one thought at a time.

To put it in a nutshell, you change the conditions in the energy system, and the state change is free of charge and a result, cognitive changes are free and a direct result, and this reflects in changed words and changed language eventually as well.

There is a whole lot more that energy can do for NLP, and how embracing the simple concept of there being energy systems and energy forms can transform the effectiveness of NLP, and finally bring the magic that those who chased language patterns or endless submodality distinctions never managed to achieve.

Read this introduction to NLP and Energy, and why NLP NEEDS energy to evolve further, by Dr Silvia Hartmann.

Here are four nice little patterns anyone can try at home right now for their own interest - one NLP/energy pattern "A Little Sound, A Name, A Note ...", one EFT pattern "Useful EFT Add On", one perceptional position pattern "Having A Better Time" and an energetic gestures pattern to change our understanding of "Giving & Receiving". I posted all of those to the StarFields discussion group but as they are rather enjoyable I thought I'd repost them here for NLP visitors to find and have fun with.
