CONTINUING WHERE WE LEFT OFF, NEXT LESSON

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE VERB TENSES

Time distinctions of actions are primarily expressed in our language by verb tenses. Tense may denote time as present, time as completed actions, time as continuous action. Just as there are divisions of time; past, present, and future, there is verb tenses of past, present and future. Verb tenses change our subjective experience.

Notice how your subjective experience changes with the following verb tense changes.

1. I talked to him. (past)
2. I talk to him. (present)
3. I will talk to him. (future)

Notice how your experience changes with the present participle "talking", in each of the three verb forms.

4. I was talking to him.
5. I am talking to him.
6. I will be talking to him.

Notice how your experience changes with the following three perfect verb forms:

7. I had talked to him. (past perfect)

The past perfect tense indicates action or condition as perfected or completed at some definite past time, usually in relation to some past act. Two past acts are, therefore, indicated, one being "past past" or more past than the other.

8. I have talked to him. (present perfect)

The present perfect tense indicates action of condition as completed or perfected in the present or having started in the past and continuing only to the present.

9. I will have talked to him. (future perfect)

The future perfect tense indicates action or condition as perfected or completed at some specified future time or as taking place before some other future action. Two future acts are therefore indicated, one being further into the future than the other.

USING VERB TENSES

1.verb tense can be used for putting a present problem into the past by using the past tense and a tag question.

"That has been a problem, hasn't it?"
"That was something you did, wasn't it?"

2.Verb tense can be used for putting a present problem into the completed past by starting a sentence with a present tense and moving to a past tense with a tag question.

"That is a problem, wasn't it?"
"You want to solve this problem, didn't you?"

3.Verb tense can be used to reorient a new behavior into the future, transform it into the present, and then look back on the problem behavior, or look back at yourself having made the change.

"What would it be like when you have made those changes now, in the future, as you look back and see what it was like to have had that problem.... as you think about that now?"

4.Use verb tenses to put problems in the past and to bring forward resources from the past, present or future.

"So, up until now, you have lost your temper and now you know that you can control it and will do just that, if some little thing bothers you in the future, isn't that right."

I hope you're not confused and start to see how this is coming together, and will be able to change the words to spirit connecting.

For example this sentence: what it was like to have had that problem.... as you think about that now?
Modified Version for us: what is was like to have had a spirit touch me... as you think about that now?

STAY TUNED, if it doesn't make sense now, give it time, it will in the end... :thumbup: :cloud9: :ghost4:

Awesome! keep checking back. i'm constantly working on this and updating... :thumbup:

CONTINUING WITH LESSON 3: Presuppositions:

Presuppositions are the linguistic equivalent of what most people call assumptions. They are what must already be assumed to be true for the statement being made to be true or make sense. Presuppositions are what must be assumed rather than what is directly stated.

Whenever we are communicating we use presuppositions that assume something is already true; every sentence we speak in our everyday life has presuppositions in it. In the majority of cases we tend not to consciously recognize what we have presupposed, and concentrate on what is directly stated. Thus, the presuppositions are unconsciously accepted as being true and the listener will act as if they were true. Sometimes we presuppose what we want but a large part of the time we presuppose what we do not want. We can greatly increase the results we get by consciously presupposing what we want and avoiding presupposing what we do not want.

For example, we can presuppose that changes can be made quickly and automatically or that changes will be slow and painful. In NLP we always prefer to presuppose the former change process.

The following words and phrases presuppose that something happens automatically or unconsciously:

automatically second nature constantly
continuously steadily involuntarily
spontaneously instinctively unconsciously
even without thinking almost magically

We can also presuppose that something is true, actual or factual.

actual, actually real, really factual
absolute true, truly proven
genuine obviously authentic
self evident fact, factual unquestionable
unimpeachable certified verified

valid substantiated positively
clearly certainly definite
sure thing undeniably irrefutable

We can apply the above for our spirit keeping/bonding...

For example: Many people who have spirits believe that they will have made a pervasive change in their lives.

Off until the next future lesson, hope you enjoy! :meme:
