Robert Dilts demonstrates a practical NLP process to empower yourself for personal change and transformation based on creating inner alignment with a sense of your purpose and identity. From an NLP practitioner program in 1992.
I bought this in VHS over 20 years ago. While watching I followed along the processes imagining Robert is taking me through the process. I was amazing experience.
It is a pity he called it logical levels. Russell was referring to sets and subsets. And it makes clear that the famous paradox of the Cretan who said, "All Cretans are liars.", is a false paradox because logical levels are involved. I do appreciate this though. It's nice to see Dilts, having actually read his books, Beliefs, with Hallbom & Smith, and the other one, Changing Belief Systems.... way way back in the 90s.
In my opinion, at first impression, both Bandler and Dilts irritate me. The former is a predator - like and the latter is a false prey - like. If their target had been to persuade me, they should have call Grinder.
Yes as a training psychotherapist studying Maslows Hiarichy of needs thats what i thought. The "making a sale can be a spiritual experience" makes me uncomfortable. Like how mindfullness has been hi jacked from the buddhist path and is now being used in buisness to make more profitable, good emplyees.
I agree. However, Maslov had a fixed hierarchy. Dilts' model shows that people can differ in terms of value. (You might sacrifice your own survival, for example, or safety, to protect your son or family.) Dilts also utilises it differently. Maslov was saying that the lower levels of the hierarchy had to be fulfilled, before an individual went to the next level all the way to self actualisation.
Dilts tried to explain that the top levels were driving the lower levels. It is your values that determine what type of behaviours you have or want to have, what capacities you aim to develop. Probably, what kind of environment you create around yourself.
