Where do you think you're going?
These words from the Dire Straits album Communiqué bring together the inspiration to deal with neurolinguistic programming and Zen.
Where am I going?
Don't I know it's dark outside?
Why not stay in the comfort zone?
Everything is already here.
Maybe I want to make the world my comfort zone. Maybe.
In the face of national or international politics, environmental pollution, hunger and disease this is a hard job.
NLP says: You've got all the resources you need.
Zen says: Everything is already there. You just have the problems that you need.
So let these two world-views overlap.
What is going to happen?
What happens to goals, to communication, to beliefs, to our identity?
I dedicate these lines and these questions to Helga Obermair, who was an irreplaceable inspiration to many of us.
To combine the values of mindfulness and of NLP may be a fruitful project.
With this assumption I will refrain from more questions.
The show must go on.
