Some where chosen so that a response could be elicited to prove a point
Max, how we are motivated, our responses anger, rage, frustration and need
to defend a particular point of view. It is like our love child
(attachment) that we hold so dear. I was using a fear tactic which gets a
fear response.

The response was fantastic.

I have been here about I year I think. I have a totally different point of
view. Also my values are different from At's and Winfried who both seem to
have harmony and entitlement needs so I tested that with certain anchors
that include rejection, disapproval, disharmony, as this invokes a
particular response. I have more freedom and expression values (more
American if I might say so) they are not like Winfried or At's who are in
a sense cut from the same clothe. Remember no values are better or worse
just different and many disagreements are around this very different
points of view.

Kindest
Gavin
