I wrote my "NLP Novel" in 2000 - it's a fully fledged fantasy fiction trilogy called In Serein and as a part of the set up before I wrote it, it's available to read - and for the really serious NLPers amongst us, to study - online for free.
So what's an NLP novel and why is In Serein an NLP novel?
Well, I'd say that anyone who is a good NLPer and writes a novel will have to write an NLP novel.
You can't not, really.
NLP re-patterns my brain as an NLP trainer just as much as it does anybody's and I can't help writing in NLP language now.
I can't help writing with intention, for one thing.
When I write a fantasy fiction story, I am entirely aware that any story relies on the internal representations the reader is going to make, which produce the experiences the reader is going to have.
These are autogenic experiences which are indistinguishable from physical experiences if they're strong enough. That's why people laugh and cry and get angry and excited and scared - if the writer gets it write.
Sorry ... phonological ambiguity here, I couldn't resist ...
A writer ... hehe and you can't get much righter than that, can you ...
But I digress.
So of course, I'm NLPer and all my novels are NLP novels.
All my stories are NLP stories, of course they are, they can't be anything else.
But what's my evil purpose with In Serein?
NLP always has an evil purpose, it never does anything for no good reason, that much is clear by now ...
Well, my set up for In Serein was not that it should become a best seller, indeed, that was even kinda prejudiced against (you can read the whole set up here, pretty magical stuff).
My set up was that I should learn something in the process of writing this book.
You can translate that into NLP language by saying, "That there should be a sequence of experiences, the order and sequence of which will bring about change, healing and evolution."
That's my internal idiosyncratic intrapersonal definition of "learning."
I don't do anything to anyone else that I wouldn't do to myself first; that's a safe way to proceed, then I can't go wrong.
So absolutely, there's stuff going on in In Serein.
There are language patterns, forms and structures you've never encountered anywhere else before. Thank my energy mind for that ... I certainly do.
There are levels and levels of meaning and metaphor for any NLP student to explore.
Never mind NLP student - unless we consider anyone at all who does NLP a student, no matter how many trainer's meta-master-super-meta-trainers courses they've conducted themselves.
NLP is an awesome thing. To connect language back to internal representations and to start playing with that, exploring that, is like giving a writer this special device which opens portals into time and space and places in mind we've never been before.
Where no-one's ever been before, not in the history of humanity.
Isn't that cool?
In Serein is good fun for the kids, it's an exciting story at the top level. But the more you know about language, the more exciting it becomes, and then the more mysterious. I certainly haven't worked it all out yet or understand more than perhaps ten percent of it.
It's a challenge - but so much fun.
Check it out. See what you can find in it. But more than that, pay attention to what you can not just see, but hear, feel, taste, sense, scent. How your state changes. What In Serein does to you. Try and figure out how it does it. Engage and have fun with it.
And consider writing your own NLP novel at some time. If you do, let me have a link, I'll happily post it here.
The world of "fiction" or "fantasy fiction" when you add the dimensions of NLP to them are awesome domains to research, to play with, to use in so many different ways.
And I always also think that when the towers have fallen, the story will remain as long as humanity continues to survive.
Ah ... don't get me started :-)
So - here's the link, to a real good honest NLP novel, free online in its entirety: http://InSerein.com
Enjoy!
