Expanding Folded-Time©
Patterns
The concept of Expanding Folded-Time©
Patterns is based on understandings of time from Quantum Physics
including Albert Einstein's "thought experiments" regarding time and
relativity, from Psychology including the work of William James', the Father of Psychology, and posited in his book Psychology, and from
the great philosophers, including Aristotle and others too numerous to
list.
It is generally held in brain science that
the brain has two primary functions. These are temporal (time)
processing and spatial processing (about space). It can be argued that
there is no evidence of anything in existence beyond the present
moment. Time is generally regarded as a construct of the human mind.
However, Humans do, somewhat universally, experience a movement in our
affairs, from past to present to future, along a continuum that we have
generally agreed to call TIME. We also organize our experience and
encode events by time. We even have our limitations or problems coded
temporally.
I love a good science fiction story.
Perhaps you have seen something on television that involved time travel
or, like Star Trek, warp-speed travel through the universe. That is not
so far fetched scientifically anymore. Not too long ago an experiment
was conducted on one of the space shuttles that proved out a part of
Einstein's theories, that time and space bend around gravitational bodies, like
stars. (Apologies to the technologically savvy if I have not stated
this accurately.) What makes the time travel concept work in science
fiction is that if time and space can bend, humans will eventually find
a way to bend it back or "fold" it back upon itself. You could be here
in one instant and across a galaxy in the next instant. Do you follow
how that could work?
String Theory actually explains that
infinitesimally small bits of folded time may have unraveled to create
the dimensions we experience.
An interesting phenomena in understanding
time and brain function is that, when asked, people will describe time
spatially. It is in our language that "put it behind you" means to move
something into the "past."
The Expanding Folded-Time(c) Patterns
utilize the
temporal aspect
of brain function to shift the identity of "who a person is" and what
their past, present, and future experiences mean to them. When asked,
an individual may express orientation to time in a different ways. With
The Expanded Folded-Time© Patterns, a trained facilitator can help you
change unwanted behaviors and unresourceful self evaluations, quickly
and easily.
Memories are Myths
What if I were to say that your memories
are myths? You might ask me what I mean by that. And, haven't you had an experience where you recount some event from the past and
someone else, a brother or sister for example, says, "that's not the way it happened" and they give you an entirely different
accounting of the event. Now, you were there and you remember the
event, but what you remember is from your own point of view and it was
encoded in your mind through your own particular set of filters,
including your own beliefs, and values. And when you originally were in
the experience, you made a representation to yourself about the meaning
of the event. Someone else saw the event from their own particular
perspective and made up whatever meaning that occurred through their
filters.
We all have some unresourceful programming
that we wish we did not have. For example a man who came to me for
coaching sessions said that he felt as if he was just not assertive
enough and that it was causing problems in his life. When I elicited
his time line, the past was behind him, the future in front, and the
present was about 2 1/2 feet out in front of him. He wasn't living in his present. He was lagging behind and the way he described
his life exactly matched his orientation to his time line. Even his
physical behavior matched. His body posture was laid back. When
speaking to the man, he had a habit of moving his head back away from
the speaker.
I asked him to move up into his present.
The idea caught him by surprise. He cocked his head and he moved back
even further, actually moving his chair back. However, he decided to
try what had been suggested. He physically sat forward in his chair
and imagined being in his present. His face reddened, his eyes widened,
he started taking much deeper breaths and when he spoke his arms and
hands moved emphatically and decisively. Something shifted in that
moment in his experience of who he was. He said that he absolutely
knew that he would have no problem with assertiveness in the future.
Change Your Myth in
Expanding Folded Time(c)
If you can agree that memories are like
myths, what if you could simply change the way you remember things
happening on your Time Line? You can change the event itself so that it
happened differently or you can change what you made it mean to you all
those years ago.
Clients who have had childhood trauma of
one kind or another, often report profound change using Expanding Folded
Time(c) Patterns. I have had clients who changed their personal history
with Expanding Folded Time(c) Patterns so that the negative decisions
they made about themselves earlier in life are changed to more
resourceful programming that allows them to get what they want in
life.
I have had clients make up entirely
different parents or change the traumatic events so that something
different happened. Now, you may be thinking that you learned something
from all the events in your life and you are absolutely right. It is a
matter of preserving the "learnings" from those past events in the place
where all such "learnings" are stored and allowing yourself to
re-represent your past to yourself in a way that gives you more freedom
and choice in you life. The result is profound life change.
