IN HOPE

NLP is the unexpected byproduct of the collaboration of John Grinder and Richard Bandler to formalize impactful patterns of communication (e.g. therapeutic, sales etc… . ) With the addition of Leslie Cameron–Bandler, Robert Dilts, and Judith De Lozier, NLP took form into more than any one of us ever expected. Not just useful models and patterns formalized from various activities, but an extension of how those patterns and models came into being, thus a field both informative and practical, but most significant … unique in its purpose and methodology. Proving once again the old adage that the sum is greater than the whole. As the tools of NLP find their ways into other fields and the number of NLP'ers increases, we will witness in our lifetime marvels as grandiose as a man on the moon, the permanent elimination of smallpox from the planet earth, and atomic power. We may witness perspectives as broad as ecology, relativity, and civil, woman's, and human rights. The limits of human potential for progress and humanity, war and other acts of myoptic thinking are the by–product of subjective experience. Understood, and used with the elegance and

pragmatism with which NLP was created we may not only discover how Freud made Einstein's theories possible, but a way to influence and predict the very elements that would make humans capable of being humane, by subjectively valuing what creations, creating can offer.
