Exploring and understanding our 'models of the world'
We perceive the world around us through our five senses: hearing, seeing,
feeling, smelling and tasting. Whatever 222v2120c the world is really like, we use
our senses to explore and map it. The world is an infinity of possible
sense impressions and we are able to perceive only a very small part of
it. The small part we do perceive is further filtered by our unique
experiences, culture, language, beliefs, values, interests and
assumptions. Each of us lives in our unique reality built from our sense
impressions and individual experiences of life, and we act on the basis of
what we perceive our model of the world. In consequence, our models are
NOT the reality, but representations of reality. There are three
mechanisms common to all model-building activities: generalization,
deletion and distortion. NLP categorizes the filtration process into these
three classes.
Generalization - process by which one specific experience comes to
represent a whole class of experiences
Deletion - missing out a portion of an experience.
Distortion - Changing experience, making it different in some way.
In NLP we call these the 'universal human modelling processes'. These
three processes operate at every stage in the construction and use of our
models of the world. They underlie our abilities to concentrate, to plan
and learn, and to dream. They become evident to the trained observer
through a person's speech and behaviour, and learning to detect and
utilize the universal processes is a central theme of NLP.
I have tried my best to keep my site as simple and practical as possible.
I hope you enjoy learning about these skills and also hope that you begin
to use them. Remember, take what is useful and develop from there. If you
would like any help, please feel free to email me.
