Subject: Ericksonian Hypnosis Grinder New Code and NLP RE:CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS PROCESS'S "The activity of modeling complex classes of behavior requires a positive response to or at least a tolereance for vagueness and ambiguity. TTTake the process of modeling that Bandler and I undertook in patterning Ericksonian hypnosis, for example. The strategy was intially unconscious imitation of the master and only moving to a conscious attempt to appreciate what he and we were doing subsequent to having demonstrated that we could replicate Erickson's work with our clients. This requires a certain POSITIVE EMBRACE of (or a least a tolerance for) what others typically describe as c-o-n-f-u-s-i-o-n. Confusion was no part of my experience during such modeling, nor did I detect anything in Bandlers behavior suggesting confusion. It is clear that during extended periods of PRACTICE neither one of of us knew what the hell we were doing in any coherent conscious cognitive sense-we could not have offered a representation of what we were doing.
