Global Beliefs and Racsim

Global Beliefs, as Tony Robbins describes them in his 1990 Personal Power audio series are:

Unconscious Decisions

decisions that we were completely unaware we made

We were unaware because we grafted them from our parents world view.

Global Beliefs are the fishbowl to the fish... the fish cannot "see" the fishbowl, the fishbowl is clear/ transparent, Like wallpaper, it's all around us but we seldom, if ever, actually "see" it.

Robbins offers examples:
Life Is...
People Are...
the rich get richer and the poor get poorer
"f**k em all but six, and save them for pall bearers
you can't fight city hall

we accept them unthinkingly because it never occurs to us that they are variables.

Attitudes about race fall into this category.
They are assumptions that we made, without ever questioning their validity

Poverty is a mind set.

Poverty is NOT a function of the economy
Abundance and Scarcity are mindsets

Using NLP As A Visualization Aid

When visualizing your desires there are a few tricks that you
may or may not be aware of. In this article I am going to
introduce you to some basic, older NLP devices that can be
incredibly effective.

First if you have never heard of NLP before, it stands for
Neuro Linguistic Programming. Be sure to do your own research on
NLP as there are plenty of free information sites available.

Now let's move on and I'll teach you how to apply one simple
NLP method to your visualizations. First, think of a good memory
that you found enjoyable or exciting. Whilst you're in the
process of recalling that memory, brighten the image in your
mind. Pretend that your mind works like a television set and you
can adjust the brightness control.

How did you feel? Was the memory becoming more intense?

Now to do the same thing again but this time, dim the
brightness. Notice how you feel now.

This time, recall the same memory but instead of adjust
brightness, intensify the colors as you see this memory in your
mind. Make them vivid, exciting and make them stand out! After a
few seconds of doing this, try dulling the colors like we did
before with the brightness. Notice how you feel in both
extremes.

In most cases, brightening an image or intensifying the colors
causes the emotional response to a memory to magnify. When you
dim and dull a memory this causes the emotional response to
diminish. Many therapists who use NLP teach people to dim their
bad memories, turn them black and white, shrink them, and even
mute them. This has the effect of removing the connection to the
emotions from the memory, and can allow many people to get over
traumatic episodes in their lives.

This little exercise has shown us that if we intensify the
colors and brightness we can intensify our emotional response
regarding the memory or vision. The whole point of visualizing
our desires is to create an emotional response which sends clear
and strong messages to the universe.

These little NLP tricks will help you to take your
visualizations to the next level and magnify your efforts.

Here are a few additional things that you can play around with:
try tilting the mental picture forward or backward; zoom in and
then out on the picture. Increase the red hue, then the blue
hue, then the green hue, and see how coloring your memory with
different colors affects your emotional response. Put a frame
around your memory. Make it into a two dimensional photo, then
back into a three dimensional environment.

Make sure when you're practicing, you are visualizing three
dimensional, moving pictures with sound, as though you are
there. Some people forget to include sound in their
visualizations. Remember, the more sensory responses you can
activate the more vivid and emotional you will become with your
visualization.

Have fun with this and play around until you find a perfect
combination for increasing your mental imagery.

What did Tony Robbins do for me?

Answer to the question: what did tony robbins do for you?
----------
This question was posted to me in a message board, my response is below:

Immediate relief from self sabotage, we're talking 180 degree turnaround

============

What Tony has that I've not seen in other NLP stuff is his work on
values and beliefs
especially from a codependent/acoa point of view.

Global Beliefs:

Gross generalizations, usuallly grafted from your
parents or your environment- Often unconscious.

Decisions we made when we were young

Global Beliefs are different from regular beliefts
They are a catagory of beliefs such as:

'life is'
or
'people are'

those kinds of things we tend to think of as being
- 'set in stone'
- 'etched in concrete'

they are not

'whose decision is this?', I doubt if you consciously chose (that) limiting belief...
is it useful?



Almost everybody has heard of Tony Robbins. He's the big guy with the big teeth you've seen on infomercials all over the place.

Tony's work is primarily seen as being for the 'Success/Motivational Crowd'.
While that certainly is ONE appropriate use of Tony's version of NLP, it's ignoring the vast majority of the population that can benefit tremendously from his workshops on tape.

People from the 12 step/ codependency/ behavior modification crowd are the ones who would benefit the most from Tony's work.

There is a reason that most success coaching tape sets BEGIN with self image building.

FACING YOUR PERSONAL DEMONS!
Most of the success motivational crowd begin their counsel by FIRST exhorting the student of success to expand their self-image, self esteem, what they truly believe they are worthy of, in their heart of hearts.

Tony's work does much, much more than that. He effectively gets people to TAKE ACTION.

Reading the printed word is NOT ENOUGH, no matter how good the text is, if you read it and say to yourself:

"Gee that sure was interesting", or "Gee that's exactly what I need to do"

...and you go right back to doing the same thing, well...

Tony's workshops and exercises force you to FACE YOUR PERSONAL DEMONS; and, if you're not willing to, he tells you to "...give this tape to someone who will!"

He gives you real time, effective tools, an entire tool bag, multiple approaches that give you "more than one way to skin a cat".

The 12 step model of change (that's what it really is, ultimately, either a change in behavior, and/ or elimination of an addiction, leading up to a spiritual awakening)- that change can be multiplied exponentially and the length of time invested can be dramatically shortened by combining NLP.

With this course you will discover what your Limiting Beliefs are, even ones you thought were 'set in stone'

Many codependents , even when they become aware of self destructive behavior patterns, feel worse if they feel they cannot change their old belief systems.

Some shrug it off saying: "That's just the way I was raised"

Tony's tape set is in the form of workshops and daily exercises (a 30 day plan- each one starting out like weight training, each day a little more weight) that use the technology of NLP to create amazing changes that you never thought possible!
