Please let me be clear that NLP is not in anyway a part of the Lefkoe Belief Process nor the Lefkoe Method. Neither is hypnosis. But, this is a cool chance to use other “stuff” to help you eliminate a negative belief. Again, as a Lefkoean, I’m devoted to both living a life free of all limitations and helping you do the same, so let’s mess around a bit.
The first sleight of mouth pattern I want to run is called, “Reality Strategy” It’s a, “how do you know?” pattern that can be helpful to change a person’s perspective. In this case, I want to run the pattern or the “how do you know?” on the concept or idea of “knowing”.
Morty, in the LBP wrote, “some part of you might ‘know’…”. I want you to take a moment to contemplate how you know that you know something. I could say, “how do you know when it’s time to get angry or happy?”In this case I could also ask, “how do you know when it’s time to feel like the belief, “I’m not good enough” is reality or the truth?” and you will have a series of biological processes that “run”. One of the goals of NLP is to study and utilized how you do what you do. Morty in the LBP has asked you to say a belief out loud and notice if you feel something inside…how you do internally the reality of the belief, “I’m not good enough”.
I’m asking you to examine how you know that you “know”. My guess is there are plenty of ways that you are sure that you know things. Up to now, you might have not examined this processing of “knowing”, you just counted on it to be there, but for now I want you to really noticed how you experience your version of “knowing” so that you can begin to guess whether it is still useful but more importantly still real or true for you!
In other words, how you do you “know” or create reality for yourself “inside” of you? It’s probably an amount of feelings that one could label “certainty” or “I just know”. But remember, the point of all of this is that you want a crud belief to go away for ever and it’s less than useful patterns to follow. So, there will be a point where it will impossible for you to “know” that a belief like “I’m not good enough” is reality for you! Get it?
Can you really know that you know that you know? Play that one out in your mind a bit :).
