Most of us let our brains run wild, and spend a lot of time
Having experiences we don't want to have. Bandler pokes fun at
Many of our current ways of attempting to think about and solve
Human problems, as he begins to provide alternatives.

-------------------------

Since everything in the universe is made up of energy, my thoughts are also more than
just “my thoughts;” they are also vibrating energy.

------------------------------

Our conscious mind can be a great trickster, and we must be vigilant in observing what
it is saying.

-----------------------------------

Every event and experience elicits from us a thought response. Very quickly these
thoughts gather and build upon one another, and without even noticing the mechanism
involved, an opinion is formed within us.

----------------------------------

Besides thinking thoughts, our conscious mind is the eye of perception through which
we experience our life.

-------------------------------

The ways we each organize our experience to understand
something are unique, and can be directed and modified. Much
can be learned by trying out someone else's way of understanding.

------------------------------

Each person may choose for themselves the system and method that works best for
them, and nothing is stopping anyone from choosing here and there, taking the best
from each and designing a system unique to themselves.

------------------------------

Everything in our known, physical universe is made up of energy. All the things you can
see, touch, and feel are made up of energy.

-------------------------------------

Seeing a memory from your own point of view (through your
own eyes) has a very different impact than watching yourself in
that memory from some other point of view. Knowing how to use
this difference allows you to cure a phobia or a "post-traumatic
stress syndrome" in a few minutes, among other things.

-----------------------------------

We often try to correct problems after something has gone
wrong, rather than doing things ahead of time to make sure they
go the way we want them to. The attempted correction often
makes the problem worse.

---------------------------------------

Our brains code our internal experiences so that we know
what we believe and what we don't. By directly accessing and
changing this internal coding, it is possible to quickly change
limiting beliefs about yourself into resourceful and empowering
believes.

------------------------------------------

Our educational system has attempted to teach students content,
rather than teach them how to learn. "School phobias" which
prevent learning can be dealt with easily. Memory and "learning
disabilities" arc also discussed.

------------------------------------------

What people do has a structure, and if you can
find out about that structure, you can figure out how to change
it. You can also think of contexts where that structure would be
a perfect one to have.

---------------------------------------

When you make up a new reality, you'd better be
sure that you get some friends to share it, or you may be in big
trouble.

---------------------------------------

People often revise the past when they get divorced, or if
they find out their spouse has had an affair. Suddenly all the good
times they enjoyed together over the years look different. "It was
all a sham." "I was just deluding myself."
People who go on diets often do the same thing. "Well, I
thought that diet was really working. I lost five pounds a week
for three months. But then I gained a pound, so I knew it wasn't
working." Some people have successfully lost weight many times,
but it never dawned on them that they were succeeding. One
little indication that they're gaining weight and they decide, "The
whole thing was wrong."
