Marsha asks: What can you say about your thinking experience? Have any insights you wish to offer?
Andre: One of the things I have learnt from NLP is the concept known as "ancors" . An ancor is an unconscious/reflex response to an external stimulus. To wit: the external stimulus is automatically associated with a pattern of sights/sounds/feelings. Seeing my girlfriend: high quality/ love, Seeing Bush; low quality/power/oil/war, hearing Beatles:high quality/nostalgia,Hearing church bells: childhood/bad boy/hell/condemnation. Fireplace: cosy/warm Christmas tree: nostalgia/family/singing/warmth. These are automatic responses but since learning about the pattern I am aware of these and can change them if I want to. Until I was aware of these I didn't realise their impact nor their consequences.Awareness puts you in charge of yourself again so to speak. You can follow it on this Discuss as well (I am not saying I am immuum to it). Just read the knee-jerk reactions you get when you mention the word Marxism, Liberalism, America, Terrorism,SOM,MoQ, It's all there...automatic, pre-fabricated responses. This was the cause of my agitation against Ham's 'seggregation. It immediately sparked a lot of associations which may or may not have had any relavance to Ham's intentions. Still it happened.' Still have to get back to you on Chinese art.
