When you have your music in a bunch of different formats, do you freak out because some are on CD, some are digital (in various formats) and some are in -gasp- vinyl? Of course not. Music is music. The different formats are used and accessed differently, but they produce the same thing: Those sweet melodious tones. The same is true for which techs you are going to use internally. Just as there are many ways to play music, there are many ways to get to the same function using internal techs. Just last time I mentioned two very different ways of figuring out your purpose. One was careful and deliberate, the other was a burst of frenzied action. Both brought you to the same spot, but by different roads.
The great music format debate
When you start talking about how music is played, music lovers will usually have some opinion on the matter. Sometimes that opinion can be louder than the music! Some will claim that a song is best on vinyl, as it catches the music directly, and so there is no loss. Others will say that CDs are just as good, as human ears usually can’t catch any differences anyway. So, too, do the mp3 crowd say when they put forth their ideas on the topic. Then come in all of the other digital formats all saying that theirs is best.
But the music is the music. The different formats are just ways of getting to the music.
By the same token, different techs will arrive at the same destination by different methods. Some people practice various forms of meditation to contact the inner mind. Others will use self-hypnosis. Still others will use NLP techniques. Any one of these, used properly, can bring about your desired effect. Better is subjective, because each has its area of strength and limitations.
It’s all about the music
Some people choose to learn NLP. Anthony Robbins is a popular author on this subject. Others try learning various methods of meditation. Still others of a more clinical mind will go for hypnosis and may try self-hypnosis. Which one will work? That depends on the person. There’s no telling which one will work better for you, which is why I suggest giving each a try. There’s no law saying that if you use one you can’t use any others. You may find that you tend to favor one most strongly, except for certain situations, where you use another.
Don’t be afraid to try something new. Just because you have no experience with something, or because it’s different from what you are used to that doesn’t make it wrong or useless. If you find the courage, you can actually turn this to your advantage: If your usual tech isn’t doing the job, try looking to see how others do it. As long as there’s no incompatibilities with what you use, such as using fear and domination when your techs are based around love and kindness, then go at it!
No technology is perfect
And that is why it’s good to branch out once in a while. The more tools you have in your toolbox, the more redundancies you have, the less likely you are to run into trouble if one of them doesn’t serve you at that particular time. That doesn’t even begin to approach combining different techs to multiply their effects, something that is worth considering. Try learning a new tech and see if that doesn’t improve your scope.
