Hello, Dr. Grinder. 1. You wrote, "What are referring to here?" I am referring to the concept termed "representations" whose word tokens appear in your writing on pages 198-199 of "Whispering In The Wind". Earlier I was referring to human thoughts. An example of human thought can be whatever you are thinking at the moment. 2. On page 198 of "Whispering In The Wind", you wrote, "...the application of NLP patterning to change work has as its objective nothing more than the manipulation of representations..." and "A systematic application of this set of verbal patterns leads to the identification of the FA events(the reference experiences)...that are the source of the representations to be changed to achieve the client's goals." Representations that can be changed through application of verbal patterns are not what I was referring to when I wrote about a Science Of Representations. I don't like the idea of research directed toward eliciting or manipulating human representations by means other than interpersonal communication. I usually avoid some forms of commercial media. I typically question research efforts that aim to improve influence by application of technology. Even billboards bother me, because I think they're too manipulative. An obvious application of a Science Of Representations would be to improve marketing efforts. I don't want my future research products to help people compel consumers to purchase consumer goods. 3. You wrote, "Could you offer an example to orient us?" Are you now better oriented to what I meant when I wrote, "The representations that you consider to be in the NLP research domain might be a logical type of representations that does not include human thoughts."? I have my opinions; I might have already expressed them in this thread more than will serve me. Thank you for your post. -nj |
