Robin, Ms. Duncan's quote is a prime example of what I'm talking about, and I would say her work involved much explicit mapping, if you consider rep systems outside auditory digital as modalities through which explicit mapping can be achieved, in her case kino/visual with associative links to auditory-tonal. The whole of one's neurology is the place of mapping, and while I believe the categories f1, f2 and fa are useful analytical tools at times, I don't believe in their "thingness" and that there is ever an "escape" from f2 to f1, only qualitative shifts within one's experience, let's say a slowing or quickening within f2 perhaps. Even good writing aims at disrupting f2 filters and plays with associative links to other modes, working in mainly tacit ways -- but by tacit I mean unconscious, rather than nonverbal. Though my primary reputation is as a poet, I have experimented in many forms and consider each a mapping enterprise of sorts. I think our differences of opinion rest only on our difference of definition. I wonder whether you'd consider the possibility that all of the applications of NLP as possible artistic tools as well as coaching and therapeutic ones. I am only trying to make this point because I believe that the creation of *experience* is in itself a worthy pursuit, aside from therapy and coaching. Don't you agree? best, JS |
