Hi ZZC, I like your Buddhist approach. You wrote: "So here is one point. It seens to me that Erickson hypnosis was modelled by Grinder and Bandler but is not the Modeling State or Modeling Process itself." You're right of course. The Buddhists have been deliberately modelling for hundreds of years now. In "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" by Sogyal Rinpoche he quotes the process of "Guru Yoga" which, if memory serves correct goes as follows: 1. Get into meditative state i.e. trance. 2. Envision your Guru/Master/Buddha in one of a variety of forms. 3. Envision light of many different colours streaming into you from this Vision, containing all the highest qualities/attributes of your Guru etc 4. Become one with your Guru and rest in this state for as long as you can/want. Interestingly, they set up no lifelines, no other filters and had no dis-identification process to come "back to self". Of course for a Buddhist that part is immaterial since there is no true self! Regards, Lewis. |
