Rapid Identity Shifting Demonstration 

Yes

My pleasure.

Nice!

Time to change that and when you do, you'll be able to help others even more. You'll be less likely to burn out as well.

That makes me very happy to hear that.

Thank you.

My pleasure. Glad you liked it.

Thank you.

Correct

Thank you 🙏

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Last time I spoke to him, it was still there. He has become much more assertive and at ease with himself.

Indeed.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Keep working at it. You probably need to transform those counter examples.

Glad you're loving the program. 1. Once you master the Self-Concept Model I recommend that you continue learning about the underlying theory that makes the model work, which is the theory that Steve Andreas created called Scope and Category. When you say, "I'm empathetic", empathetic is a category, which we refer to as a quality in Self-Concept. A quality is a way of categorizing an aspect of who you are. If you say, "I help people", people is also a category. It's not referring to helping animals and it's not referring to helping the environment, which are all categories as well. Paul's statement of belief was, "I'm empathetic because I help people." Within the category of his empathy contains people. For some reason he wasn't categorizing himself as a person so when I asked him the question if he was a person, he couldn't deny it, therefore he had to categorize himself as being within the category of people and therefore within the category of his empathy. The more you understand categorization, the more these things will become obvious to you. 2. Every time you transform a quality it's a transformation. Your list of values are the best clues you have to transform into the ideal person you want to be, which will automatically create the life you want to live. I recommend starting at the top of your list of values and work your way down the list optimizing any qualities that already feel certain and transforming the qualities that don't feel certain into certain and solid qualities.

@@DamonCart Thanks Damon ! When you said - "Are you also a person" I was like wow !! I will hold off my intellectual curiosity for now and come to scope and category once I master the SC model

@@kirann414 I will probably do a workshop for the group again on Scope and Category and use this video as reference. Focus on mastering Self-Concept and keep Scope and Category in the back of your mind. I have no special talent other than the skill and understanding that I've cultivated through practicing NLP and this model. You're on your way in other words. Continue to be persistent with it and you will wow yourself.

​@DamonCart I went through the recorded workshop on Scope & Category and I am glad that I did. Things have become so much clearer now. I have been practicing the SC model for a few weeks and I was doing the exercises because I was getting results. Now I understand why we do the things that we do in SC Just like how you combine various elements to get compounds, you can combine Scope and category to get any change you want and this is sooo exciting I want to share my understandings so far - Feel free to correct me if I have mis-understood something On how it applies to self-concept: - Qualities are scope and self-esteem is a category - Values are categorization and your exeprience is scope - You are getting the process elements & fine tuning it so that you can model how you do the scope which you like and use it as a model to add/transform qualities that you don't have/like - Aspects of time : Widening/narrowing the scope so that you could see how much scope would make the quality stronger. I have felt my quality get stronger by modifying the chunk size of time. It was quite interesting - Perceptual positions will give you more scope so that you can re-categore that exeprience or make your exiting category feel stronger - You use experiences from different contexts of your life to widen the scope so that the categorization can have a bigger impact on your life - Basically we are changing the scope of counter examples -> scope of certain quality when we are trying to transform a quality we don't like. When we get resistance to do that -> Parts integration - Had one interesting observation. I had a group of counter examples to a certain quality. When I narrowed down the focus(scope), I realized(or should I say categorized :D) immediately this belonged to another useful Q and made the certain Q stronger - When you narrow down the scope to transform a counter example which is the first/worst, it tends to categorize the transformation across similar examples - We do values elicitation to find categories which we like so that we can adjust the scope(qualities) to get more of the experiences that we like In the Video: You widened his scope to include himself so that he can get the empathy as well(category) I have a few questions :- - How can we apply scope and category theory to parts integration? - When we do the video editing exercise in transforming couter examples, we are playing with content. Am I right in my undertanding that we are basically changing content by suppling resources so that it will fit the category of your positive intent and in turn categorize it to your Q ? - In the spreading exercise of aspects of time where we attempt to generalize the quality across time, are we attempting to widen the scope or are we trying to impose the categorization across time? Thank you for making Steve's work available to us. I don't think I would have applied the model if you hadn't put up the program

@@kirann414 you've mostly got it. Qualities are actually categories. Scope is all the information (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.) represented including the structure of how it's represented. Category is how you feel or evaluate the scope. For example, if you believe you are a kind person, kind is a quality you use to categorize yourself. How you know you're kind is based on the scope of your experiences, the information that represents your experiences. You wrote: "When you narrow down the scope to transform a counter example which is the first/worst, it tends to categorize the transformation across similar examples" This is not narrowing. The first or the worst counterexample is more like a summary representation. It sets the criteria for the group, which lets you know whether or not an experience belongs in this category or not. So when you transform it by giving it more resources and then put it back in the group of other counterexamples so that the resources transform to them, it transforms the other counterexamples. You're redoing the generalization in other words. Your questions and my answers: - How can we apply scope and category theory to parts integration? Scope and Category is always at play, but parts integration is simple enough that you don't have to "apply it" so to speak. It already happens when you follow the steps. When two parts, which are two categories, realize that they work together better than separately because they share the same values (and the same master, you), they naturally integrate. When the two categories integrate it creates a new, integrated category. - When we do the video editing exercise in transforming counter examples, we are playing with content. Am I right in my understanding that we are basically changing content by suppling resources so that it will fit the category of your positive intent and in turn categorize it to your Q ? More or less, yes. However, it doesn't always transform into an example of your positive quality. It might transform into an example of another quality. The main objective is to transform your counterexamples so that they don't hold you back from being certain about the quality you're working on. If the counterexamples transform into positive examples of the same quality you're working on, even better. - In the spreading exercise of aspects of time where we attempt to generalize the quality across time, are we attempting to widen the scope or are we trying to impose the categorization across time? You're spreading the quality across time. Using words like attempting implies failure. Imposing implies force so I would change up how you think of these things. Spreading is a natural thing we already do so it's not forcing. Spreading is categorizing across time. Choose to categorize yourself across time as being the qualities you value. This will work much better for you than doing it with negative qualities. You're usually doing it one way or the other without realizing it. Using Self-concept is a way to understand how you're creating your sense of self so you can have choice about it rather than relying on the haphazard organization of your unconscious.

I'd say that sounds accurate. At the same time, I believe Paul genuinely likes to help people beyond people pleasing, which was the leverage I used to coach him to include himself in it.

@@DamonCart 100% brother - The forgetting of himself in the equation is the distortion. The authentic expression allows him to serve with even greater power, as he has gained integrity & personal power by including himself - Very nourishing Really appreciate your content good sir - Using it to round out my own understanding of identity shifting 🙏

@@irohsslipper6155 my pleasure.

Correct

Everyone does both. If you were fully associated all of the time, you would not have any perspective of who you are outside of yourself as in how others might be thinking of you. You would also not have the ability to disconnect from situations. And you would struggle to plan anything for the future because you would always feel stuck in the present moment. An easy way to visualize yourself is to imagine looking into a mirror.

Selfishness is the answer to what?

Humans are fundamentally selfish, but society educates solutions for nonexistent problems and makes us set goals. NLP could be a tool to reconcile the neurotic conditions we are in. Rejecting the need to be good is one answer to our problems. Money is undoubtedly the only important goal to pursue.

@@ffmamim7 can't tell if you're being sarcastic. The "need to be good" is so vague that I can't really agree or disagree. We feel a need to be fulfilled. I've nothing against making money, but money will only solve problems that not having money creates. While it helps, money will not ultimately fulfill you.

Yes I do. Email support@selfconcept.com and ask about our Self-Concept training. Someone will be happy to help you.

Yes

Exactly!

Correct

Yes

He wasn't including himself in his own empathy, which might sound like self-empathy but there is no self who gives it and a self who receives it. The self is the source of empathy.

Exactly

Si

Yes

I'm not sure what you're asking. It's a video about how to overcome low self-worth, just as I mention at the end of this video.

@@DamonCart Yeah... which video? thanks :O)

@@stevegreen364 just click the end screen of this video, at the last few seconds of this video. The next video appears on the screen.
