This is the final posting of an introduction to the internal filters, with the Meta Programs.

The Meta Programs are so important that every recruitment agency and anyone who is hiring staff, paid or volunteer, should do an analysis of the Meta Programs of the prospective candidate.

I just love them I find them so revealing and consequently empowering.

Please enjoy the 5.34 minutes AUDIO if you prefer.

I get very excited when information opens up a person’s mind on a permanent basis with solid, concrete strategies and feedback, and not just hype, and this is what discovering your Meta Programs does.

The Meta Programs are a loose link with the branch of applied psychology in that there is a link with psychometric testing, including some Jungian traits in these language patterns.

Meta Programs are largely unconscious patterns for sorting information, affecting what you notice, how you create your internal representations (IRs), and how you organize these experiences and makes sense of them.

Although all of the internal filters do that, filtering information from outside of you before you internalize it, the Meta Programs do so, on a much larger scale.

As this is the last posting of the Internal Filters, I’ll include the graphic of the internal filters again.

NLP Internal Filters

There will be a few postings on Meta Programs in the future; they are so significant.

Although you may have some of the same Meta Programs as other people, the combination of your Meta Programs will be completely different from anyone else’s.

There are no right or wrong Meta Programs, nor are any combinations right or wrong.

Just to give you an example of how you use your Meta Programs in everyday life, you use them:

• For staff selection

• When choosing a career

• Being able to organize your time and effectively

• To understand people

Here are two examples of Meta Programs.

Do you

1. Use your thoughts, which manifest into your language, to move away from something you do not want or move towards something you want?

For example:

Do you go to work because you do not want to be poor or broke? (away from a situation)

 Or

Do you go to work, because it stimulates you, you feel great mixing with wonderful people? (towards a situation)

2. Do you operate from a position of necessity or possibility

For example:

Do you go to work because you have to? (necessity)

Or

 Do you go to work because you see a bright future with more skills? (possibility)

 These were just two Meta Program examples to whet your appetite.

I know, that when we move deeper into approximately 14 common Meta Programs, you will love them as much as I do.
