Language makes the bond between us, how we relate to each other and even if we do relate at all. How do we connect and understand anything? Through language.
We all learn it, and how well do we use it? My English Language school studies were confined to interpreting a Shakespeare play and being able to tell an intransitive verb from a transitive one.
Heaven forbid that it should tell me how to use language with purpose, to play with it, to light linguistic fireworks that would burst with multiple meanings and dazzling eloquence in my listener's mind. Language lies deep level in our minds, we cannot not respond to it. Sticks and stones can break our bones but words can break our hearts. And they can also heal and inspire our Spirits. As you read this book, some of the power of language will become yours to command. Language both describes and prescribes, you have to accept certain ideas to understand what you hear.
And as it directs your attention towards some things, it just as surely makes others invisible. You create whole new worlds every time you read a novel, and you will create meaning as you read this book. What does that mean? Could this be a kitchen scene? Is he being insulting? Telling the punch line of a joke? Or is she taking his picture? Or perhaps it is an example of an ambiguous sentence with multiple meanings that concocted to make a point?
So what? So, if you want to be understood you frame that tells the other person how to understand whet youre saying in the way you want it understood. And, when responding, it gives you ways to change and play with the frames. And tratly cnovbe What would like this to mean? You can laugh, like a good Zen apprentice and tell a joke.
Jokes work because they lead you into understanding a situation in one frame then they pull it out from under leaving you suddenly in another. A story then, of a now prominent writer when he was a humble college student. Like a magician with his or her magical box from which to pull, and put, all kinds of wild and crazy things—the magical formula box to which we refer fives inside human minds. Even you have one inside your head!
The human brain produces it, and yet the magic box transcends the brain. In this book you will discover how to identify your magical formula box from which, and by which, you construct your heavens and your hells. Paperback , pages. More Details Original Title. Other Editions 1. Friend Reviews.

Sleight of Mouth patterns are a collection of techniques for a identifying beliefs behind someone's statements including yours and b bringing those beliefs into conscious awareness for scrutiny.
When Mind-Lines came out, there weren't any good books on Sleight of Mouth, so any more material was very welcome. Hall and Bodenhamer reorganized the well-known in NLP circles, anyway Dilts model of reframing into a structure based on internal state and external behavior two of the three basic elements Dilts, Bandler, and Grinder used to organize early NLP and try as hard as they can to tie the structure of beliefs to their model of "meta-states" and "neurosemantics.
They stay at the level of extremely coded nominalized , in NLP parlance phrasing and never create exercises, examples, or recommendations that can be applied in the real world. In addition, random -seeming words are in bold or italic typeface and everything is presented with breathless descriptions.
Nothing is "elegant" if it can be "mighty elegant. The book occasionally also borrows the New Falcon style of having a multitude of having diagrams, even of simple concepts, fantastic in the sense of fantasy chapter intro pictures, and large, boldface quotes by other authors including New Falcon author Robert Anton Wilson taking up end-chapter whitespace. It is a strange dissonance with the technical nature of the material and the self-congratulatory style of the writing.
On the other hand, the book did fill an essential need in ; other than some hard-to-get seminar notes and some articles in not-well-known magazines material on Sleight of Mouth was hard to come by outside of taking a class. Also, the diagrams are generally interesting or useful, and the appendices are not bad although they, too, invent "new" material just to plug the authors.
Since Dilts released Sleight of Mouth , it has become even harder to overlook the flaws in Mind-Lines. Aug 18, Erik rated it liked it Recommended to Erik by: dave. Oct 27, Andy Morris rated it it was amazing. This is a book that I have read and studied love and have referenced often. I believe the model for analyzing thoughts is extremely powerful. I believe at it's heart, it is a serious of perspectives, and perspectives are both the key to influence and the foundation to wisdom.
Basically the model gives you about holds with in a a check list for how to look at a problem, belief idea etc. When you apply the mindli This is a book that I have read and studied love and have referenced often. When you apply the mindline in your interactions artfully, you can cause someone who is stuck on an issue beliefe or thought to take a look at the same thing from a different perspective with out even knowing it and when they do then they are able to come off whatever they were stuck on.
Could a person's perceptive of only seeing all the things bad and wrong and ugly in another person be suddenly reversed so that as all of that fades into the background, the good, right, and beautiful zooms into the foreground of awareness? At this point in the training, Richard was working with a young man who was breaking up with a girlfriend who thought he would be willing to reverse things, but who ended up being "quiet creative at thwarting every option, possibility, or reason that Bandler brought up as to why he might reconsider his opinions about his girlfriend and their relationship.
This was the context. Though the young man wanted to be cooperative, he found himself in a very stubborn state of mind. In response, Richard with his "flare for the outrageous" used the situation of the broken stage as a metaphor and played a frame game with the young man and the audience.
Robert Dilts tells the full story and presents a transcript in Sleight of Mouth , pp. Richard adopted the attitude that another participant had intentionally sabotaged the stage in order to hurt and embarrass him and that he would not give him another chance. Then he acted out the young man's dilemma by sitting down and challenging the group to fix it.
He has much said, "I have a problem. You fix it. Then as Richard played out the client's role, he invited the NLP practitioners to try to alleviate his problem and fix him. They could not. Even though they knew the magic of NLP, nothing they did seemed to touch the resistively stubborn belief system.
Somehow, using some special language patterns mind-lines , Richard deflected any and all attempts that otherwise would have enabled him to experience a positive transformation.
Perhaps he had modeled how people generally defeat positive endeavors. From this experience Robert Dilts speaks about his "Ah ha! We can use them empower ourselves to make enhancing transformations that bring out our best. We can just as equally use them to limit ourselves by deflecting any and every transformational idea that comes along. We all use these patterns or at least some of them to maintain our beliefs anyway. In this, neither Bandler nor Dilts invented these patterns.
We find them operative in people throughout history and in all cultures. Bander, Dilts, and Epstein only made them explicit so that we can work with them with more precision and understanding. In this masters, he discovered that they used common patterns to influence the minds and beliefs of those around them.
In the training, Richard artfully used these language patterns, to show their power in deflecting and breaking up valued and helpful ideas. He also used them to show how we can use them to put ourselves into conceptual boxes to prevent growth, change, transformation. We can use them to detect such and to open up new space for generative change. Learning these patterns puts us more in control in handling our conceptual world i.
Using "Sleight of Mouth" patterns enabled the co-founder of NLP to resist highly trained professionals and defeat their best efforts. This illustrates one way these powerful language skills operate as they mold our beliefs, and hence our realities.
From "Sleight of Mouth" to Mind-Lines In this work we have made these patterns even more explicit as a facet of training and skill development in neuro-linguistics.
Such training results in developing greater competency in our use of language. With Mind-Lines , you will be able to break up unwanted belief patterns that hinder you. You will be able to shift the paradigms of your conceptual reality in one fell swoop. As they codified the language patterns they picked up from Richard Bandler, they specified 14 " Sleight of Mouth " patterns.
These formats enable us to eloquently reframe almost anything and so they represent the first NLP model of persuasion. In the first edition of Mind-Lines , this work became the first book on the "Sleight of Mouth" Patterns. Mind-Lines reworks the persuasion patterns and provides a new structure to the mental and verbal moves.
We made the model more rigorous, methodical, and streamlined as we examined the theoretical foundations of the model. We also used the meta-levels structure inherent in Meta-States , the levels of "thought" or mind which governs Meta-States. This begins to recognizing the levels of meaning.
On the primary level, "meaning" arises from associations and linkages. Reflectively, every higher level of "meaning" involves the setting of frames or mental contexts. Given that, we can then send the brain in seven directions. This gives us seven reframing directions. And within this directions, we have 20 conversational patterns actually 26 with this third edition.
He or she will do one thing that captures the attention of the audience while simultaneously doing something else. A similar thing happens with the " Sleight of Mouth " patterns. It involves a distraction of an auditor by leading his or her consciousness in one direction, while making a conceptual move of some sort in another direction. This results in the generation of an entirely new perception.
Then, all of a sudden, a new idea or belief a frame-of-reference comes into view, and the auditor doesn't really know where it came from, or how. When a card illusionist does sleight of hand movements, he or she performs one set of actions that so captivates the interest of his viewers, that they really don't see what else he does that actually changes things.
Consider what happens to the attention of those watching. It gets shifted, and captivated, so that it preoccupies itself at a place where they think and anticipate the action will occur. Then, on another place, the more significant action occurs. When this happens, sleight of hand creates for the viewer an illusion, and this illusion frequently results in a shock to consciousness. The solution does not lie in "seeing faster," it actually lies in not getting distracted.
No matter how fast or skilled a person's seeing, if the person sends his or her "mind" off to pay attention to irrelevant factors, the illusionist will get them every time. A similar process occurs with verbal behavior when we deliver a really good mind-line. This happens all the time in human interactions and communications anyway. Sometimes it occurs in interactions that we engage in just for fun and enjoyment.
Then again, sometimes it occurs when someone intentionally seeks to pull the wool over someone else's eyes in order to take advantage of them. What corresponds linguistically, or conceptually, in mind-lines that distracts a person's mind? Just invite another human being into a discussion about content and you can do all kinds of things and I'm not kidding about this in altering, changing, and transforming the context.
And when you do, most people will never notice. Conscious minds seem to have this thing for content. Feed them a little gossip, some details, the specifics of this or that person, in this or that situation, tell them a story, or even better a secret, and presto Do you yet feel anxiously impatient for hearing more about content and context That Doesn't Seem Ethical!
