In essence: The Jedi vs. the Sith approach to this particular aspect of existence.
For rapport-based NLP, you just do it backwards... rivalry wants you to GIVE you a specific conclusion and once you have it, they "justify" your brilliant deduction with supporting evidence, so you will defend it to the death, attacking, spamming and trolling anyone who dares to disagree with you. (Seen that anywhere?)
Rapport "programming" prevents you from reaching a specific conclusion and you are forced to examine your own knowledge base to FIND a conclusion that fits the analysis.
Remember the brain is a huge pattern recognition system. And why does it do that? Because by recognizing patterns, it can
predict what is going to happen next, prepare for it, and you stay alive. We call the patterns that work to keep you alive,
experience. A sequence of events happened, I survived it and grew from it. This is analogous to the old saying, "if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger."
By understanding the predictive nature of pattern recognition, you can apply the SAME systems to the opposite effect--supplying a pattern that leads to a dead end, a place where the train of thought gets derailed. This is called an "open mind," because it is open-ended--you have to CREATE a prediction, since none is given to you to "find" by accident. Which means you have to consider alternatives and run "scenarios" in your head to see which would have the best solution, as that "path" might actually occur, since you just walked it.
When a person reaches that dead end, there are two possible consequences, which are based on your knowledge and experience:
First, which is how the bulk of the population responds, is
panic. They have reached a point where they cannot predict any possible outcome, because they just do not have sufficient knowledge and experience to check for similar patterns that might provide a solution (one of the reasons for the dumbing-down of education). When a person panics, then will turn to others that HAVE solutions to save them. Sound familiar? You're exposed to it, constantly, by all the beneficent world leaders. As long as you remain afraid, you'll turn to them for solutions.
Second, a person responds with
curiosity, asking themselves, "how the heck did I get here" and "hummm, I wonder where it leads?" Then they begin to draw on their knowledge and experience from other areas (called
abstraction--the functions of the higher levels of the neocortex), to see if something comes close, then how it needs to be modified to fit as a potential "prediction" to this path.
If you notice, I put a great deal of time and effort in my papers to implement the second concept (one of the reasons why it takes me so long to write them). I take the reader on an information path that leads away from the pre-programmed conclusions that society and "education" have supplied, and leave you in the middle of nowhere. Then I provide you with the solution that *I* found--not you--which is usually based on a recognized pattern and prediction from the Reciprocal System of theory--a "natural consequence." Since it is MY solution, not YOURS, it provides you the opportunity to see if it makes sense, but does not force you into it. If the my pattern makes sense given your knowledge and experience, you may adopt a customized version of it into your own world view, and now you've got a bigger perspective than you had before. (You've moved in to an abstraction layer, a higher brain function, that can now be used elsewhere--it "takes the blinders off," which is why you see Alchemical muggles in the old paintings walking around with blindfolds on. Of course, that crown chakra gets quite a workout as well!)
This is why I get comments about my writing like "it melted my brain" or "like trying to take a drink of water from a fire hose." Those feelings arise as a consequence of your psyche expanding--and remember, the expansion of the Universe is a natural consequence of the RS, so an expanding psyche is good stuff! (See, I just did it to you again... path, dead-end, RS correlation.)
In order to make the Second consequence more likely, I employ
humor. Humor makes things "safe" so people don't panic when taken outside their interior landscape, because if I don't take myself seriously, you don't have to either. BUT, you've been exposed to the concepts, and they don't go away... they linger in there and make you wonder, until curiosity takes hold and you go out exploring. That's when the "Ahhhhh!" comes in.
