The 4thLevel Presuppositions, Observations and Questions
The human brain has vast potential and yet human behaviour seems to lack a great deal of common sense.
The world is in a mess. Politicians for the most part are highly ineffectual. Our species is treating the natural world with little care for the future.
Our development is reliant on our parent’s abilities and subject to the environments we grow up in.
Personal congruency used to be the premier criteria for obtaining an NLP Practitioner certification. Nowadays it is difficult to find an NLPer who is congruent. 4thLevel has some simple tests for this. Personal congruency means our mental processing sytems are operating in a flexible and balanced way. We aspire to this rather than expect to be there.
The ability to engage your brain before opening your mouth! The ability to notice how you are creating your thoughts and feelings, the words you are using to think about those thoughts and feelings, and be able to adjust them as you engage with the world.
The early NLP trainings understood this which is why it took six months to achieve NLP Practitioner certification. The founder of the 4thLevel has a deep experience of the original NLP trainings and has run several at this level.
Without the human’s ability to have sophisticated language processing we could not have our ability to think, we would not be ‘homo sapiens’.
Because of language the brain can develop the Auditory Digital modality above all the others. The rules of society are written in words, in the Auditory Digital. Words can become truths for people hence the predominance and power of religions. A danger to man’s survival.
Our brains primary function is the survival of our species. As our brains develop they will gather the best information they can find for survival. At maturity anything that threatens changes to our deep mental survival patterns will be fought against. This is why hypnotherapy is very useful as it can by-pass the brain’s defenses.
4thLevel focuses on developing the flexibility and balance of the mental processing patterns rather than our daily beliefs, values and behaviours. This enables the brain to solve our own issues as part of the unconscious mental processing – removes the need for NLP coaches and therapists.
