4. A Brief History of NLP
Neuro-linguistic programming is initially the work
of Richard Bandler and John Grinder, working
under the supervision of a team of anthropologists,
social scientists, linguists and a cyberneticist. The
development of this groundbreaking neuroscience
was largely done at the University of California,
Santa Cruz, during the 1960's and 1970's.
6. A Brief History of NLP
All through the 1960's NLP seminars
gradually became more popular and
although during the early years it only
attracted therapists, later on these
events drew the attention of business
people, salespersons and artists.
7. A Brief History of NLP
After development of the basic NLP principles, the
1980's brought controversy for this groundbreaking
science, with John Grinder and Richard Bandler
falling out and getting tangled in disputes for
intelectual property, which were only resolved
towards the end of the 1990's. NLP started being
developed freely by many individuals, but with
principles having very little in common with the
original nature of NLP. Neuro-linguistic
programming was better organized under formal
institutions during the 1990's, especially in
countries such as the UK and Germany

focus on achieving that outcome.

Editor's Notes
The importance of knowing your outcome cannot be stressed enough. Many people do not have conscious outcomes. Others have no idea what they want but know what they don't want. Their life is based on moving away from those things they don't want. NLP stresses the importance of moving towards those things you want. Without outcomes life becomes a process of wandering aimlessly. Once an outcome is determined you can begin to focus on achieving that outcome.
Once you know your outcome you must next have sufficient sensory acuity to know if you are moving towards it or not.
The third operational principle of NLP is to vary your behaviour until you get the response you want.
The fourth and final operational principle of NLP is to take action now. NLP is about taking action now to change behaviour for yourself and for others, now and in the future. So, 'Don't delay; act today.'
In communication it is usually assumed that you are transferring information to another person. You have information that 'means' something to the other person and you intend for the other person to understand what it is you intend to communicate.
Language is not experience but a representation of it.
There is no separate 'mind' and no separate 'body'.They act as one and they influence each other in such a way that there is no separation.
The task is to locate or access those resources and to make them available in the appropriate context. NLP provides techniques to accomplish this task.
If any other human being is capable of performing some behaviour, then it is possible for you to perform it, too. The process of determining 'how' you do it is called 'modelling', and it is the process by which NLP came into being in the first place.
Behaviour is what a person says, does or feels at any moment in time. This is not a person's self, however. A person's self is greater than their behaviours.
