Don’t know if you will see this as I am commenting on an older entry… still I am compelled to do so.

I am a NLPr and work with a circle of NLPrs… and this circle of NLPrs do not say that the mind does not recognize or respond to a negative.

More accurately we say that the negative is not always the most direct path. The googlism of “Don’t be evil” is, in our NLPing world, something akin to “Do be – not evil.”

And in that light, you can be many other things… it’s more about where the “negative” is experienced, not that it isn’t experienced. Think about the biblical reference to “do no harm” instead of “don’t do harm”

From a counselling perspective you may want to encourage others to make a conscious choice about what they do want to be instead of “evil”…

but

from a mission statement / business philosophy “Don’t be evil” is just dandy. I like it and I respond to it just fine.

So there’s my story and I’m sticking to it… until I choose to do something else.

I thoroughly enjoy your blog. It’s gives me the experience of Being John Malcovich ~ except better.

Kudos and all those good things to ya
