Here are a few nuggets of wisdom from the Little Dragon…
You must always remember one thing in NLP Modeling:
If the model is already dead, you can’t model him or her using NLP.
You can build a model using another technology or method. But you won’t be following the NLP Modeling methodology. So quit trying…
Robert Dilts claims he modeled Einstein, Mozart, Tesla and even Sherlock Holmes.
What do all these illustrious characters have in common?
They’ve never been face-to-face with Robert Dilts.
To do NLP Modeling, you absolutely must observe first hand the model’s physiology and unconsciously assimilate their behavioral patterns.
A written account doesn’t suffice to provide the analog richness required to effectively map out behavior. That account has already suffered the influence of the storyteller.
You have to be there.
You have to see it. To hear it. To feel it. To taste it. To absorb your model’s behavior through your senses and let it permeate you, let it wrap itself around you, in the same way that very small children absorb the world around them like spunges.
Current research on mirror neurons will uncover, in my forecast, the physiological basis of the unique NLP modeling methodology.
While we won’t pretend to be modeling Bruce Lee by reading a few lines of his model of the world, perhaps you can allow your imagination to relax and hallucinate its way back to the exact moment when Bruce Lee uttered those words…
And you might surprise yourself as you vividly picture his movements and hear his voice repeating those sayings over and over until they become a part of you…
Are you a Bruce Lee fan?
