EACH BUTTON ABOVE LINKS TO A DESCRIPTION
OF THE SPECIFIC NUMBERED CORE LORE

Prevent internal damage or establish coping resources for present problems by changing the framework and storyline of experiences.

       This core lore deals with the care and feeding of experiences, primarily those that have happened in the past and are stored somewhere in your brain, and also those that are happening in the present, as well as those yet to come.

       There is a protocol to follow that has almost magical qualities. It enables you to take incidents and restructure them so that the positive ones are enhanced and the negative ones are neutralized.

       Flash an experience on your memory screen and you will see both "context" and "content". There is a world of difference between the two.

       Content relates to the story line itself, to what actually happened. Context involves the framework or superstructure of the experience.

       When you restructure content, you use one of four different approaches. Each is explained in the core lore. You  learn how to recall any experience, review it, revise it, rewrite it, then replay it as reconstituted to help you confront or handle a present problem or situation.

       When you are enhancing or diminishing context, you are using "submodes", which are the fine distinctions within the primary methods of representation. The differences that make a difference.

       For example, a person who relies mostly upon the visual mode of representation uses such submodes as distance and clarity and size and brightness. Someone who is mostly auditory uses such submodes as loudness, tone, tempo. Those who are the touchy-feely type (kinesthetic) use submodes such as weight, texture, temperature, and pressure.        

       You can change the context of any experience by changing the submodes. By making a scene in you mind's eye darker and more distant and fuzzier and substituting black and white instead of color, you can neutralize its negative effect.

        You can also enhance an experience by doing the opposite, making it more colorful, clearer, closer, and larger in your mind's eye.

       Using the content and context of an experience in concert with each other produce results that are almost mind-boggling.

        This core lore also shows you how to use the "swish" pattern to rid yourself of undesirable behavior, like smoking or overeating. This technique involves rapidly replacing, in the mind's eye, the objectionable behavior with the desired behavior. Speed is the key, because the brain learns at a lightning pace.

       Phobias are the bane of many people's existence. Planes, heights, snakes, bridges, tight spaces and places, and so on. This core lore tells you how to use an NLP technique that has been proven effective, to cure such phobias in minutes, even those that have not responded to years of other therapy. It is done by scrambling the patterns that have been set in your brain, using double dissociation. That means watching yourself watching yourself relive an experience, then running the tapes rapidly in reverse.

       Let's get back to the experience I had with the man who subsequently went into the witness protection program.

        This was a combination fix, both content and context. I rewrote the dialogue from the point where he told me I was not off the hook, which had been causing me to break out in a cold sweat every time I thought of what might happen.

       I reworked the context so that the scenario up to that point was distant and unclear and in black and white. The man himself underwent a context change. I dressed him outlandishly and gave him a mustache. I took four inches off his height and increased his girth. I changed his hard body to soft and flabby. He was then much less intimidating.

       Which brings up another point worth noting. You do not have to limit your context changes to the overview scene. You can take any element and change its characteristics. You can figuratively erase any feature or object, recolor it, or resize it.

       Next, I tackled the content change, doing what I call "role play". I don't know what movie was the genesis of my script but there I was , in my mind's eye, sitting cool and collected, playing my button-down mode card. The conversation and reactions went something like this:        

       "You're not going to get off the hook that easy," he said.

       I smiled enigmatically. "I've made arrangements. The tapes I've recorded from our last two meetings would mean curtains for you if they got into the hands of your buddies."

        He stared at me in disbelieving fashion.

       I continued in that vein. "Made two sets," I told him. "They're being held by people you don't know. They expect to hear from me at prearranged times. If they don't, they'll release the tapes."

       It seemed to be doing the job, on my mental screen, of course, where all this was taking place. I visualized him wincing and then his shoulders sagged.

       The conclusion was foregone. He capitulated, in my imagination, of course.

       Later, I found out that in the real world, he and his cronies had started fires in churches and synagogues around town to create racial tension and take the focus off of the ongoing investigation of those he associated with. That subsequently brought him into the witness protection program when he turned state's evidence.

       Please remember that this conversation was pure fiction. It never happened, except that my thinking made it so. But I was really into it, so coated with excitement, perhaps because of fears that I might not be able to extricate myself from that crazy situation. My subconscious accepted the revised version without question. It did not matter that consciously I knew it was a fabrication.

       Elliott Ness, I thought, move over. I have become untouchable.

       Sounds corny in the reading, I know, but once you have learned how to make context and content changes, there is nothing that has happened to you in the past that you cannot rectify and thereby regain your balance and improve your functioning ability.
