Deconstructing Reality
I had a long talk with Wolinsky yesterday (interrupting my wonderful phone call with my great friend Melissa - sorry, Dis!, but he's very slippery and you never know if you're going to reach him).
He told me all kinds of things that were very disturbing (to my happy little reality) such as:
1) There is no such thing as choice. We've already done what we were going to do by the time we perceive we are doing it. He said the "proof" will be coming out of studies they have done in Germany.
2) NLP is a load of crap. He thinks it is the most poisonous of systems that ever was created! He ranted about how the whole thing was created on cocaine and that Bandler was not only an addict but a dealer. He asked me pointedly if any of the results last. I could not answer that question. Can anybody out there? Please post.
But there's something about Wolinsky that Wolinsky hasn't figured out. He's prejudiced as hell. If you go about making money from anything, you can't be trusted. He's a minimalist. Someone who lived in India studying meditation and seeking relief from his pain for six years. But this is a man who retired at 50. He's 55 now. I haven't asked him *How* he retired, but I'm curious. So if you don't have to be concerned with money, it's much easier to dis those that do, I think.
He also says that we take in billions of bits of infomation per second, yet we can only process a few thousand (different than what they said in "What the Bleep" which was around 200, and in NLP they say +/- 7 (or something like that)!
Anyway, if we can't process those billions of bits of information, how the hell can we "KNOW" anything!
