Mind control and NLP

[in_the_blue]

I have a friend, a psychologist, that always says to me that NLP (neuro-linguistics programming) is the newest way to control the mind. he always says that it is very practical, easy to use and to learn, but also very powerful.
what do you guys think about it?
should i bring some more info on it?

Neuro Linguistic Programming is the fancy name R. Bandler and J.Grinder gave to a discipline they invented during a study of human genius. They found that highly succesful people tend to have similar thinking processes and paths. They went further to investigate first how a therapist could stimulate solutions in his patients through somehow 'covert' applications of high communication skills, and then Dr.Bandler explored the realm of personal development, intrapersonal work.
I find Bandler's work to be really fascinating and quite powerful. Strongly advise anyone to read or listen to it.

It can be a very useful self improvment tool. Several good schools are available and several good books outline the basics. It is fairly easy to use, but does require commitment on the part of the user.

I'm interested

Yeah it's definately an interesting tool, you can find lots of information about it too! You just have to know where to search ;)

NLP is not an art nor a science subject,
in fact, NLP is more of combination of both 2 subjects
i have the interest in studying NLP but my country(Malaysia) is not offering any courses in univercities...
anyway, it's kinda fun study and if you hav the chance to learn, learn it.

I have used the principles of NLP in business many times.

When I have meetings especially with people I have never met before I use NLP as a guide on how to best communicate with them.

I am no expert but the principles are quite basic to follow.

Maybe an expert in the area can comment further on the matter.

Does anyone have specific websites, or the name of a book on the subject?

[ligit]

where can i find NLP programs? also how much time would i need to spend it, would it be time-consuming or is it an easy system to use?

Depending on who its used on and by whom it can also be a weapon instead of a tool.  Politicians often use it.

I am very interested in mind control, especially in all kinds of subliminal methods and I would like to learn more (I am just a beginner). Recently I've started listening some subliminal audio CDs and downloaded Mystic Board's subliminal program. I hope I'll see some results soon.

I've heard that NLP is a good tool and that it works.  I think Anthony Robbins even talks about it.  Does anyone know of a good website, book or program to help a person learn this?

Thanks.

I've always thought children should be taught media skills in school. If they learn how to make a television advert to convince other kids to buy something or to eat something then perhaps they'll understand that what they see on tv isn't necessarily to be believed and acted upon.

I think the same is true of Mind Control methods - although I hasten to add that I'm not a conspiracy nut. If politicians are using it on us, and if it works I've no doubt they would, then we should know how it works to counter it's effects.

So, yes, I'm very interested in any information anyone can bring to the board to enlighten us. Does anybody know of a website we can go to begin to learn about it? Something easy to start with, then maybe more advanced stuff later.

Thanks for reading me.
