Mind The Gap

May 15th, 2011

This blog post is a personal NLP snapshot of what’s going around.

In between those moved by what they want and those moved by what they don’t, there happens a gap, and innocence was extinct way long ago.

I’ll explain more. In between acting moved by what one doesn’t want, and getting a clear, non-generic idea of what one wants and installing the vehicles needed for making it happen, lapses a time gap. A gap to mind, as it is what those ready wait for and ride, not to say create and ride, to skew the action result towards another outcome that those who started it might not necessarily want at all.

Now some technical stuff for the curious minds – very briefly though.

Moving away is one extreme of the motivational direction patterns people act out of. Some of us follow this pattern sometimes, while others follow it more frequently up to every time. It is when we act out of what we don’t want. A picture, an idea, a feeling, a state, a place or else, that we get an urge to move away from, to escape.

Moving toward is the other extreme of the motivational direction patterns people act out of. Some of us follow this pattern sometimes, while others follow it more frequently up to every time. It is when we act out of what we do want. A picture, an idea, a feeling, a state, a place or else, that we get an urge to move toward.

Generic, or better said, “artfully vague language” is one that is cross-contextually positive. It is so, regardless of the meaning its source charged it with. For instance: freedom. Per se, it is a vague word describing to each of us something different. Freedom of what? What form of freedom? To which extent? For what outcome? Managed by whom and how and according to what priorities?

Watch closely.

Rightful people demonstrate because they don’t want what they are living. Some power and media groups lubricate their movement and create an artfully vague outcome for them calling it something like “freedom”. The moving people, consciously or not fully yet, get skewed towards a freedom they had not yet the time to define as they are too busy burying their dead and getting more rooted in their away from pattern. Some, already ready, find in that the perfect wave to ride, towards their own well defined outcomes. They back and use their media to delete, distort and generalize – creating their picture of what’s going on and using it to sell and recruit. They interfere, block, threaten, air-raid, train, bomb, assassinate and even invade if need be. They secure their outcome and get it signed on. By the time those who first moved realize where they were driven, it is too late already. They are back to square-one, yet, with a new cast.

Look again. Play the reel of the avalanche happening around. Examples are too many to go unseen.

Think well. Strategize and prepare. Define you outcomes and your vehicles if you haven’t done so already. Mind the gap.
