Submodalities
Back to the Table of Contents
Adapted from Ross Jeffries' public seminar tanscript.
Ross Jeffries: "How many people know what submodalities are? The basic idea behind submodalities, is that people
have locations for
their internal mental imagery. That's when people make images on the
inside of their mind, subjectively speaking, those images are located
in different places. Let me give you an example. I'll give you an example.
Come here, come on up here. Come up. What's your name?"
Audience: "Rod"
Ross: "Have a seat here. Let me show you what I mean. Can you stop and think about someone who you really, really
like. Is there someone that you really like alot?"
Rod: "Yes I can"
Ross: "As you think about that person and you see their image in your mind
don't you?"
Rod: "Yes"
Ross: "Imagine your mind is a movie screen. And if you were to take
your finger and point to where on the movie screen you see their image
where might you point right now. Right there. Very nice. Now can you
think of someone who you can't stand at all? I mean, if you saw a car
coming at this person, you might go "hey!" but you wouldn't be in too big
of a hurry to get them out of the way. Where you see the picture?
Where? And where is the picture of the person that you really like?
Now take this picture of the person who you don't like much and try to
move it over here and see what happens. Looks like it doesn't want to
stay there, does it?"
Rod: "It's heavy"
Ross: "By the way, notice
how the more you listen to me the more my picture goes right here. And
the bigger and brighter it gets. And you just lock it there. Keep it
there. That's a neat thing. The number one submodality is location, where people put
their pictures.
There's alot of other ones but for our purpose the one that we are going
to be using is location. Yes, question."
Audience: "In many of the experiments that I've gone through with,
I find that alot of the pictures are very spacial. They don't have
a position, I can't put them in a position."
Ross: "Then what you do is suggest one. If they don't have one,
suggest it. See, notice what it's like if that picture just pops itself
out of your head and locks in right in front of your face. If they
don't have one, suggest it. So you can put yourself there."
An exercise of removing doubts and hesitation via the use of submodalities
Ross Jeffries:
"So here's
the exercise that we're going to do. Close your eyes, this means eyes
close. Close your eyes. What I want you to do is,
I want you to think about something that you use to want to be when you
were a little kid. But then as you grew up you just forgot all about
it. So think of that thing that you used to want to be when you were
a little kid and then maybe you just forgot all about it. If some of
you haven't done that, then think of something you use to do when you
were a kid but you no longer do. I prefer you pick something you used to want to do as a
kid but then you have forgotten about it. Ok, and take a minute to do
that. And this is going to become a very important tool so I want you
to notice as you think about this where in your mental movie screen
you see that picture. And actually take your finger, I want to see
everyone doing this, and take your finger and point to where you seem
to see that picture. And notice that location and draw a white
square there. But make it red. Make it a red square if you can do that.
If you can see the color red, ok. Now, I want you to think, do you
believe the sun is going to come up tomorrow? Put your hand down, just
remember that location, do you believe that the sun is going to come
up tomorrow, yes or not?"
Audience: "Yes"
Ross: "As you are believing that I want you to make a picture of that
in your mind, of your belief that the sun will come up tomorrow. No it's not a belief, it's a fact.
Ok, your belief that the sun will come up tomorrow. You got it. And
point to where you see that. Point to where you see that and draw
a square around that one but make it green. Make it a green square.
Alright, if you're having trouble with the color, don't worry about it.
Just make it whatever color you want. Alright, now here's what I want
you to do. I want you to see the image of yourself that doesn't believe
that you can do this [speed seduciton] stuff. I know some of you have doubts, now is the
time to let any doubt you want come into your mind. Your doubts that
you can do this material, you know, you feel that you are going to get
caught, your doubts that I'm not the best teacher in the world, whatever
your doubts are that you are going to get rid of them completely, just
whatever they are, I'm going to get caught, I'm not confident enough,
women don't like me, whatever it is, right, I want you to allow an image
or images that represent those thoughts to pop into your mind. And
very quickly stick those into the red square. Shove those images and
pictures right into the red square and lock it in there. And some of
you may be thinking but I don't want to let the thoughts go. But notice
this, the more you think that the more it pushes them away anyway. So
they have no choice. Now I want you to create a new self image. I want
you to see the you that has the spirit that I've been putting into, the
idea, that hey, challenge is fun. If I don't get it the first time
I'll keep tap dancing around this person until I get it. I want you to
hear me, going "go for it fuckweed!". In the back of your head."
Audience: "Laughs"
Ross: "Just do it. I'm serious. I want you to hear my voice in the
back of your head saying "go for it fuckweed". Don't be a dick, go for it.
I want you to do that in the back of your head. Ok, I want you to see
that image of you that sort of has my ideas in your head, the ideas of
being flexible and ferocious and having fun with it. Ok. Now you
want to check push limits and see how blatant you can be, try to
get caught with this. Ok. Notice as that image of yourself goes into
the green square. And fill the green square up with that image. And
notice that the bigger and brighter that green square image gets, the
smaller and darker the red square image gets. To the point where the
red square just disappears completely. And lock in that image. And
now that you see that image of yourself in that green square, here's
what I want you to do as the next step. Keep your eyes closed, I know
you love to look at me dear but keep your eyes closed. Just look at
me on the inside, deep inside your mind. Aren't you. Ok, here's what
I want you to do, look, see that image of you in the green square, I
want you to make it forty feet tall. And what I want you to do, you
make it forty feet tall, is turn it around so you only see it from
behind. So you'll see the back of yourself. And as you allow that to
continue, raise it up above your head, and when I snap my fingers, drop
it down on top of your so you'll look into those forty foot tall eyes.
Are you ready? (Ross snaps his fingers) Do it. And now looking out
through those forty foot tall eyes add in a few snarls. A voice in
your head that says your ass is mine. I want you to imagine there's
a woman in front of you. And now what I want you to do is just
zoom on the part of that person that you find the most attractive. Just
zoom in on it. Zoom in on it, ok and over her shoulder I want you to
see that forty foot tall you again. In fact, I want you to see an
entire army of forty foot tall yous lined up. Now look at and zoom
on the body part, hear that voice that goes (snarl) you know that
sexy tonality, that ooh ahh. And over her other shoulder I want you to
see you and her getting it on. And now notice how any attempt of
hesitation just flies into that red square and shrinks away and smalls
itself. To the point where you can't even imagine ever trying to be
that way, it just gets wiped out completely. As if a giant hand were wiping
out that tiny little red square of doubt. The hand attached
to the body that has the voice that says "do it fuckface". "Do it now!".
Now stop a minute and try to doubt, try in vain to doubt
your ability to master these skills and use them. Tell me what happens.
What happens when you try and doubt. It's unnatural, that's right.
That's right. Good, I want you to carry that with you."
