Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a Matrix ?

I have been hearing about this for long time, but I never bothered to check what this NLP is all about. I was having idea that this is very much like a Neural Networks or AI programming techniques, which I learnt all over my college days. But, today i was scanning through the net for this, and found its a interesting one, that atleast one should know what it is, than learning / practicing them.

From my all one day learning, I can simply state that, NLP is a program, which our brain can run. Assume that our brain is a superset of a computer processer and its also running some kinda program/Code, which was written by GOD (??!! or its simply "The Matrix" ). This is a initiative to study the execution codes from one brain and inplant the same in another brain.
By saying this, it has a very clear limitation that it is not possible to program which is out of human thoughts.

The very most objective of this NLP, is to transfer intelligence or skill learnt from one to another brain. For example, if Newton or Einsteen could model ( here onwards i will mention program as model) their thought process, so that any one can import them into our brain to act /think like Newton or Einsteen, after all the same brain (atleast physically) was there for newton and Einsteen. Seems something like UFO stuff ?? But there are guys called "NLPers" around the globe practicing this method and confirming, that this works. They say the challenge lies not only in learning or understanding the complex structures but also in adopting them.

The very basics of this NLP is that once you understand that you create your internal world, you realize you can change it.

There are lots of trainers, who masterd this art and making good money out of it. This also used in phyco therapy to heal some phobic disorders. Learning this may actually help to enhance all aspects of your life from improving your relationships with loved ones, learning to teach effectively, gaining a stronger sense of self esteem, greater motivation, better understanding of communication, enhancing your business or career, bending steel bars in a single bound and an enormous amount of other things that involve the use of your brain.

If any one interested in this can send me a feed back to get more information and materials about this :-)

I found this interesting than a quotes.. just check it out..

Beliefs that someone practicing NLP will find useful for creating changes in themselves and the world, more easily and effectively. The emphasis here should be on "useful" not whether each one could be proven to be "true". Practitioners of NLP often include different presuppositions in their list but what follows are the most common.

• Communication is more than what you're saying.
• The body communicates constantly in ways that go far beyond words.
• People already have all the resources they need to effect a change.
  (The resources just weren't lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.)
• Choice is better than no choice.
• Every behavior serves a positive intention and a context in which it has value.
  (The behavior may never lead to that positive intention but that part of you can learn new behaviors that do. As to a context that has value, imagine overeating at an expensive brunch (got your moneys worth didn't you?). Go with me on this one, it really helps.)
• There is no such thing as failure, only feedback.
  (Every response is useful, you may hate the response but the knowledge you gain from it is valuable. )
• If someone can do something, then it can be modeled and taught to anyone else.
• The map is not the territory.
  (We cannot contain every bit of information that comes to us in the world, so we have to create a "map of the territory" and then refer to the map for our information (see representational systems). By changing a person's map, we change their reality. )
• The meaning of your communication is the response you get.
  (If you get slapped, try anything else.)
• If you aren't getting the response you want, try something different.
• People work perfectly.
  (No one is "broken". They are functioning perfectly in what they are doing now (even if it is ruining their life), it's a matter of finding how they function now, so that we can help them change into doing something they consider more desirable.)
