Dear At,

I cannot follow this assessment of NLP. What are the three legs ('three
and three only properties')?
On the contrary it could be a worthwhile exercise to map NLP with your
creative learning. I would not be surprised if a wise master of NLP comes
close to a midwife in creative learning in your sense.
For example, NLP is about mental creations and full in line with the tenet
'to learn is to create'. These creations have to be done by the client
self spontanously. The NLP-midwife guides these creations by a series of
commands. It is very important that the NLP-midwife does not get involved
into the specific content the client is working on. He makes sure that the
form of the process allows the client to arrive at constructive creations.
NLP is also sensitive about irreversibilty - an unsuccessful session
cannot simply be reversed and after a successful session the world
definitely has changed. Also the tenet 'entropy production is the
primordial cause of any creations' is deeply embedded in NLP: Although the
NLP-midwife must not get involved into the specific content the client is
working on, he very carefully has to assess the process of entropy
production by means of calibration and observing the physiology of the
client. The goal is to reach the 'solution physiology' which is nothing
but the expression of a new order of being.
Even the name 'Neuro-Lingusitic Programming' could be translated as
'Employ imperative logic and brigde the material and mental worlds'.
[Host's Note: "brigde"? Probably "bridge." ..Rick]
Indeed, throwing the crystal 'creative learning' in the precipitate of NLP
(for example at the NLP-university, recently mentioned here on the list)
could considerably accelerate the educational paradigm shift needed so
much. What do you think?
Liebe Gruesse,
