After Mastermind's post(welcome back BTW), I thought I go find this information. It's not exactly how I remember it but it gives an impression of the power of visual presence.

Non-Verbal Communication

Studies show that during interpersonal communication

- 7% of the message is verbally communicated
- While 93% is non-verbally transmitted.

Of the 93% non-verbal communication:
- 38% is through vocal tones
- 55% is through facial expressions

This means that when you talk to people what you say is only 7% of what you communicate. How you look and behave communicates 55% of the message, and you tone of voice and inflection communicates 38% of the message.

Image how power body language is in non-verbalize social situations.

Just an interesting side-note on the affirmation topic. You might want to check out an article by Rex Sikes at http://www.idea-seminars.com/articles/affirm.htm called
"Why Afrimations Don't Work"

I might if I wanted to undermind my belief system. I've looked at a lot of the negative material about PR. I can feel myself take a little step backwards everything I hear someone say you CAN'T, or it NOT possible. I have to work harder to make it work. I've done it and I've seen the results. Placibo? Maybe? Something I don't completely understand? Yes. But hey, I studied physics and I know that Knowledge goes only so far and then you have to create a model of how things work, and use it. The model may not be perfect, but until I can see how to make a better model I'll use it.

I've worked in the so-called hard sciences where you can control most of the conditions, as opposed to the soft-science where you can control only a small few of the variables. It's easy to make a wrong model. It's easy to see people pushing their own model. Science has more politics that is necessary. The soft sciences are more prone to this (don't flame me for my opinion because I'm not going to debate it). The have less control and observe more complex results. They have a much harder job. So their models are more likely to change, since they are developed with a smaller portion of the picture. That doesn't mean their models are no good. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't consider several models.

Sorry I started to ramble. Recently I've read a few papers on cognitive psychology and I didn't observe a single dominate model. What I have seen in the soft science is overly strong interpretation of experiments. I suspect that it's the politics side of the adoption of scientific ideas playing a strong role. It seem more previlent in the media reporting of soft-science over hard-science. Probably because it's easier (but not always easy) to prove the falacy in the hard-science.

Again I apologize if I've offended anyone with my hard and soft descriptors. It's just as valid to claim the my soft-science is Harder to do.

So no, I'm not interested in looking for more negative input, at this point. I have more than enough negative self-talk to deal with. None of it is productive.

If I'm wasting my time, then I'm doing a good job of it. I am feeling better and doing better than I have in several years. I've taken a long slow road from the state I was in a few years ago. NLP has been one of the tools I've used. I'm not where I want to be, but I can see I'm headed in the right direction and I'm now well along the way.

Sorry, rambled again.

Have a NICE day. May peace and happiness fill you.

Am I right that you didn't read the article?

Its complete title is "Why Affirmations Don't Work And How You Can Replace Them With Directed Questions™ To Get The Results You Want" and Rex Sikes is, as far as I've ever heard, regarded fairly highly by the NLP community. There is a section entitled "Why Questions are More Powerful than Affirmations" which suggests that while you may be getting results with you positive affirmations, you could be doing much better.

Is your belief system really so tenuous that examining an idea may disintegrate it?

From our very own Paul Scheele:
"You can always judge the quality of a training program by the quality of the student's experience. I have been in the training business for 19 years and as you can see for yourself, the comments from IDEA Seminars students are outstanding! I have personally experienced Rex's training and he really delivers on his promises! His training style works in powerful ways! Check out what these people have to say..."

You are right, I didn't follow the link.... this time.

Now that you've posted the full title, I remember reading it just a few weeks ago. I posted my thoughts about the questions versus statements in another thread. Basically I disagree that there is any real difference between the statement and question. I went through a lot of examples of what I consider good and bad statements and questions. How they both create the same state, if used appropriately.

So the answer was no... but yes.

I'm sorry about the last post. I just felt my energy draining... and well I'd rather billed it up.

Oh, and noticing the original post. I just recieved my IPM paraliminal tape 3 days ago. I listened to it 2 days ago and this morning I had one of the best I've had in YEARS.

Happiness and success to all.
