Hypnosis? Core Trans? Big Mind?

[senin.ss]

There is an NLP technique called Core Transformation. I have always found it very powerful. It ellicits the primary intent of "parts". Then eventually gets to a state of no-state or "essence". Would the steps in this process lead one to a type of hypnosis? Is that what leads one to that non-duality state?

And there is another powerful process (not NLp)- called Big Mind, by Genpo Roshi. It leads a person to access their "parts". Eventually it leads then to the non-duality state of Big Mind. I wonder if this too is a method of hypnosis?

The Core Transformation process, as described in the book, Core Transformation by Connirae and Tamara Andreas, does not involve classical induction of the hypnotic state wherein the critical factor is bypassed.

On the other hand, extreme focus--such as becoming deeply involved in a movie or novel--is a type of trance state. Some may consider it hypnotic because you do bypass the critical factor with a willing suspension of disbelief. So on that level, the questioning used yields and extreme focus and a type of hypnosis. I would add that Braid, who first coined the term "hypnosis," wanted to change it to be "monoideation," focusing on one thing.

IMO, however, there is a problem with the Core Transformation process as described in the book: it is done with the conscious mind. Under the guidance of trained professionals (there's an ad in the back), it should work very well. But in my experience, an untrained person may think they've reached the core when, in fact, they have not.

This predilection on my part may be because I was trained in Parts Therapy just weeks before studying the Core Transformation Process. It seems to me that what the authors attempted to do was present a non-hypnotic way to achieve the same results as Parts Therapy.

As such, I learned a great deal from the book that I apply to Parts Therapy. Some people may find that Core Transformation may be enough for them.

Core Transformation is designed to produce a trance on its own without an "official" hypnotic induction. The client just sort of "falls" into a light trance. Core Transformation falls back on the Meta questions and when outcome becomes a pure state of being, rather than having or doing - that is the core state. Then one holds on to the core state going back thru the Meta questions in reverse order and allowing each one to integrate fully. Grow up part. Determine where part is located. Reverse the outcome chain taking grown up part into core state back into the outcomes. Check ecology and last but not least Time Line Work. Repeat 2-3 times going faster each time. Anything that assumes trance is trance.

You are correct in saying that Core Transformation follows Parts in the learning process otherwise how would one know what a "Part" is, let alone what to do with it.

Question becomes: Can the same results be had by Parts Therapy and Time Line Therapy?
