This is Part II of Drexel Scott’s series
on sexuality game. You can read Part I here:
“Sexuality Game:
Making Her Wet with Words”
Before I begin this article, I want to tell you guys about something
absolutely fascinating I heard the other day. I was speaking with my
coworker Brian, and he told me about this amazing book he was reading
online. He was telling me that in the first paragraph, the author of
the book wrote,
“As you continue to read, focus on the message and pay close attention
to what I'm saying, you may… become aware of the stark contrast
between
the black letters and the white screen. As this contrast becomes more
and more interesting, you may find yourself suddenly able to place your
attention on your breathing. When you begin to pay attention to how
you're breathing, notice the rise and fall of your chest as you
continue to inhale and exhale. And as you notice your breath, you may
begin to… feel a slight movement of your head.”
Whether you were able to notice what just happened and think about how
I led you through that process, I want to make you aware of how
Ericksonian language patterns work. There's a lot to them, and it can
often be confusing at first. But if I were to ask you to… imagine
yourself, a week from now, suddenly able to understand how they work,
and looking back on this article as the beginning of that new
understanding, how would it make you feel to know you had learned so
much that you could begin to incorporate
such patterns into the way you
communicate?

Let's take this chunk-by-chunk. It's the only way to begin to make
sense of what can seem like a brand-new way to think about language.
The basic idea is this: you want to capture
and lead the imagination of
your audience.
In order to do so, as I mentioned in my article on NLP basics, you need
to have a goal in mind. You need to know where you want to lead, and
want to end up, so that you can take the other person there with you.
Since the goal of being able to capture and lead a person's
imagination
is to elicit an emotional state, you need to first choose the state
you'd like them to be in.
