If you'd like a full, honest, and transparent answer from me...
I honestly feel that the only issue here is how @Milkanic is wasting everyone's time in what he is doing.
It's bad enough that he throws around words to try to tarnish my name, when the basis of such allegations are completely ignorant and false. But whatever...this is not the first time someone who doesn't like me says bad things about me...I can deal with that.
But the bigger issue here is the waste of time...
To spent 15 minutes going through a video, writing down and making time stamps of specific things...
For what purpose?
It doesn't help anyone in this thread, it wastes my time having to read it, its wasting your time in feeling the need to jump in here, and mainly his time as well- when that time could be spent doing more important things such as, spending times with family & friends, working on his business, or something else.
So yeah, it's a huge issue with me how he's putting on 'college literary professor hat' and throwing around false terms like plagiarism, when #1 - he's wrong and has no clue what he's talking about and #2 - the purpose of this thread is to help people improve their habits in relation to business...and he derails it with non-sense.
So I guess with my firing back at him, you'd like me to address why #1 - he is wrong.
I never studied NLP under Tony. Instead, I was formally trained in NLP under Tad James and his son, Dr. Matt James. In 1988 (years before Tony), Tad published a book on the timeline technique: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0916990214/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20
I originally learned it from his son (my original NLP mentor), but got a deeper level understanding from his book he wrote decades ago. During my training (from people who did this years before Tony wrote about it), the same exact analogies and stories (smoking/christmas carol) are so common to anybody who knows this stuff in detail.
I think it was actually Richard Bandler (one of the original founders of NLP) who started teaching about that same technique; decades before that.
Whether it's my NLP trainers who have been doing this since before the 80's, myself who has been doing this for years, Tony, or anyone I train - that timeline technique is just as common in NLP as CPR is known in the first aid/medical world. To say something is plagiarized just because Tony has the best marketing about it is just not true at all.
It's how our mind works - so maybe we are all just 'plagiarizing' whatever higher power invented us...
To go into more detail of what I learned from my own personal NLP trainers who are glad I share this technique to help others....
In NLP, there are different tools and techniques:
1. The Timeline - This is how every human being stores every past, present, and (perception of) future memories. You access it by floating up out of your body and looking down at yourself. From there, you can float in the past to release limiting behaviors and past traumas, or float into the future to build up pain/desire (a common metaprogram) and use these metaprograms to optimize human behavior like I did in the original post here.
2. Association Techniques: When a consequence is far into the future, we don't feel the emotions right now; so the standard process is to float up on our timeline, float to a time in the future where the pain of the bad habit is so bad - and to fully associate in the 'future memory'. Seeing it as if we are looking through our own eyes, making it clear, bright, focused. Hearing the sounds, and feeling the feelings as if they are already here.
That is how anybody in NLP brings up emotions in the present moment (an important part for shifting habits).
And using the next technique to apply it to transform bad habits....
3. Submodalities - How the mind stores memories (not in relation to time): We bring it up in pictures. So if you bring up the visual of a bad habit (such as smoking), and then fill the visual with the emotions that were pulled up by the association technique - what this does is reprogram our perception of that thought.
So in the future, when a person thinks of the bad habit, it went through these standard NLP techniques - and the thought itself is filled with the negative emotions brought up from the rest of the techniques; and the bad habit is shifted (sometimes in one session, other times in 12).
More people deserve to know this stuff.
I forget all the examples I used in my original post because, quite frankly - it is a long a$$ post and I don't have the patience to read through something that long (I give props to the ones who take the time to read through my content), so I forget if I used the relationships analogy that Justin mentioned. If I did, it's because that's the area of my life I've been working on lately.
For the timeline/ghost of christmas future and past type thing/smoking examples- those are just as common in the NLP community as throwing around the phrase 'adding value' is to this forum. To have someone go out there and say its plagiarism to tell a local business owner who isn't a fastlane forum member to 'add value' - it just sounds ridiculous.
It's just the truth of what's out there and what works.
Metaphors and Analogies - Analogies are how we learn best. If you could think of any analogy that most people could relate to in terms of going into the past and future - the ghost of Christmas future thing is the obvious analogy that anyone can use. My trainers used it since the 80s.
So yeah - these are common analogies, practices, all the way down to the timeline metaphors and smoking being an example since Bandler made this stuff aware to us in the 60's - 70's.
Now I feel it's my job to distribute this information to the people who need it the most in the same way any CPR instructor across the country teaches what is common practice from the more well-known non-profit names that are associated with the technique.
So for @Milkanic to say any of this is' plagiarizing' Tony, just didn't feel worthy of my time for response, because it's just something he doesn't know anything about.
It's just annoying for a person to throw allegations my way that have no basis, and detracts from the best use of people's time on this forum.
To go out there into the world and add values - not take it away.
But hey, I've said a lot of crazy stuff on this forum and trolled in the past which wasted people's time, so we all make mistakes, learn from them -and we move on.
No hard feelings, just putting the truth out there.
