Thank you for the karma.

Re: "stops" and "negatives" and NLP -- the question someone asked earlier.

NLP is not "pure".

What do I mean by that?

I mean NLP, by design, was to get people to "wake up and observe."

John Grinder points out that they put something into NLP training to have the practitioners observe a pattern that actually doesn't work.  It backfired.   There are NLP trainings TO THIS DAY that teach this "NLP Pattern."  (John doesn't mention the pattern -- I have a few guesses, LOL.  You can read about this on a public website -- I think it might be on the inspiritive website.)

(OTOH -- maybe he's just saying that to get more people to actually test the NLP patterns that they are taught.)

The idea that there are a bunch of people running around thinking that EVERY right-handed person who looks up and to the right when "remembering" something is lying is scary.

So, to simply say that people are going to react contrarian to a "not" statement is partially true -- but it isn't the whole story.

Any more than if people shake their heads when they say something, that they are lying (a common "belief" among many NLP practitioners.) 

MY NLP training (largely thru Grinder & friends) always started with a day or two of sensory acuity exercises.
