Hmmmm....so Doc is that like this... Person A believes that hardwork will get a perosn a promotion Then an event happens where Lazy boy gets a promotion over Hardworking boy. Is that cognitive dissonnace? > In a " Psychological Reversal " , one's BEHAVIOR does NOT conform to a > CONSCIOUSLY held INTENTION. This one I hve to chew on a bit more and read on. > And your concept of " ecology " is more about unconscious VALUES and > unconscious IDENITY.

First time I have heard of ECOLOGy other than BIOlogy class in highschool. > There's much more, but that a simplification for now that might > suffice. > > Group, starting with their LACK OF DEFINITIONS is where most people > start getting confused. > > Group, why is that so? Why is that NOT so? Why do people start getting confused when there is a lack of definition? Why doulnt they? Before someone can talk about a car, for example, they have to know what a car is? Before someone could fix a car...they have to know what a car is at first.General to specific approach. ....then go to the nitty gritty things about a car ....like learning about the electrical system of a car ....or how the suspension system works ....or how the engine works once they know that then they MAY(operative word MAY) be a ble to fix things IF they have the skill BUT....a very BIG BUT ....they need to know what a car is at FIRST before diving more into what it is. ....Doc giving the definition of what Cognitive dissonance and PR is important so that they know the difference between the two and how different/same they are with " ECOLOGY " . It is like a person assuming they know what a car is but in their mind theyare thinking of a motorcycle. So if the conversation goes on and doc shows how to rotate the 4 tires of the car...buddy will be lost since a motorbike has 2 wheels only. > And, did anyone notice that I left out " HOW " the above interfers with any self-help, manifestation, hypnosis process? > > Now, why did I do that? You left out the HOW because it is not important at this time. Until the person sorts out their definitions and checks thier beliefs and POVs on things...the HOW dow not matter. Just like rotating the 4 wheels of a car is NOT important to a person who calls his 2 wheeled bike a CAR. If you gave it....it may be sensory overload. > And, what more do you need to make the above work? Understanding throughly how the PR and CD works. Or even to the point that one can make these ideas / concepts work for them. > All in my next upcoming seminar!!! > > Look forward to it. And by the way, that seminar is going to be awesome... ....I am actually working at understanding these very definitions that doc has given on PR and Cognitive dissonance.
