"To be free from passions, to be calm, is the way"
Zen Buddhism aims for peace. Neuro Linguistic Programming when used as a philosophy for living, ends for End State Energy. End State Energy is a concept developed (I believe) by John Overdurf.
Zen aims to strip away our beliefs, our attachment to the future and the past, to physical objects, people, religious beliefs. When such attachments are stripped away, we are left in a state of peace.
In NLP End State Energy is the energy you will feel, the state you will be in, when you have resolved all your issues. By imagining that we have resolved our issues, and our attachments, we can begin to feel that End State Energy. As we begin to access the End State Energy, our problems and issues begin to fall away naturally.
Let's consider that again: End State Energy is the state we will have when our problems are resolved. Imagining our problems are solved allows us to begin to access that End State Energy. When we access the End State Energy, our problems fall away.
The role of the coach in NLP is to hold the space open, so the client can begin to access their own End State Energy. How do we do this? We take our client into the future, into that possible future where they have resolved the issue at hand. As they experience that future time, when the problem is solved, we draw their attention to the state that they feel NOW.
AS NOW exists only in the present moment, as they experience the future NOW, they are able to experience that future state NOW.
Peace
