Subject: Ericksonian Hypnosis and NLP re: feedback integration and consciousness "We believe consciousness has feedback into the remainder of mind and so an effect upon action. But the effects of this feedback are almost unknown and urgently need investigation and validation. It is surely true that the content of consciousness is no random sample of reports on events occuring in the remainder of mind. Rather, the content of the screen of consciousness is systematically selected from the enormously plethora of mental events. But of the rules and preferences of this selection very little is known. This matters requires investigation. Similiarly the limitations of verbal language require consideration. Think about where representational systems fit into that. Think where the Meta-model and Milton model work fits in that. We have available a technology which can address that class of question with some precision. I continue: It appears however that the system of selection of information for the screen of consciousness is importantly related to "purpose" "attention" and similiar phenomena which are in need of definition and elucidation... If consciousness has feedback upon the remainder of mind, ...and if consciousness deals only with a skewed example of the events of the total mind, then there must exist a total systematic ...difference between the conscious views of self and the world, and the true nature of self and the world. Such a difference must distort the process of adaption" John Grinder 1987 Turtle all the Way Down Prerequisites to Personal Genius pg. 44 |
