世代之變: 有形中看到無形，沒有中產生所有
Hi,
數月前，小弟寫了一篇有關知識型經濟的文章，皆在澄清不少人對知識型經濟的誤解－知識型經濟並非售賣知識來營利，而是以知識作為經營的槓桿，生存發展。
隨即有朋友查詢：是否因此大數據 Big Data 就成為知識型經濟的最大武器？
非也，非也。
大數據只能給人更準確及時的資訊，距離知識還差一大步。
絕大部份人正面臨慢性淘汰，皆因他們仍活在過去的經濟模式，也就是生產型經濟；可能你不知，資訊科技是生產型經濟掙扎求存的最後一步，她企圖以更快速準確的資訊，讓生產更有效益，可惜世代已變，能掌握生產什麼才是王道，而非更能生產！
老是仍想著什麼資訊科技，你早已落伍過時，你還在過去的經濟模式，及時醒覺吧！
要在現今知識型社會生存成長，資訊仍有價值，只是更需要由資訊不斷產生知識，以知識創造意念，以意念引導生產。
生產的，並不一定是產品，更可以是產生資訊，又或產生更多更重要的意念。
意念才是關鍵，絕非資訊；那管你知多少，沒有什麼意念，還只是走在產生資訊意念的人後面而矣。
可惜人多年來只重視收集資訊，缺乏了轉化資訊為意念的概念思維能力，結果我們還是停留在舊經濟社會模式的末段，還差一線，才真正踏上新時代。
資訊是具體的，但知識意念卻是抽象，由具體轉換抽象，再由抽象化成具體，中間需要概念思維，也就是現今必需首要掌握的能力。
概念思維，即是能從有形中看到無形，沒有中產生所有。

心智符號學: 心智符號學的真正來源
Hi,
I can feel and I can also feel a scare, and Bob where are you in relation to what Betty hopes for?
Outside of this, was there something else that you would like to have happen for you?
What do you hear in that bottom line with him?
You also want to give me a boundary.
You are two adults who have lots of stuff from behind.
I'm going to use all my energy to see that this holds together.
以上的說話，全來自一位當代至為出色的家庭治療大師，她就是 Virginia Satir 沙維雅女士。
上面她與客戶的對話，有什麼特別呢？
全都用上符號，思維的符號。
熟悉心理治療，又或催眠治療的朋友，大多只知道艾克森醫生 Dr. Milton Erickson 善用故事與隱喻，卻不知 Satir 更是箇中能手；雖然她並不常說故事，但差不多每三兩句說話，便隱藏了一個，甚或多個符號於其間，令其病人不知不覺中，已被她影響說服了！
不管是艾克森，還是 Satir，也不管是故事，或是隱喻，其核心本質，就是思維符號。
他倆經常不直接說出要對方採納的想法，反而間接地通過其他事物，灌輸概念，這個『其他事物』，便是思維符號。
Satir 的治療，素以快速見稱，但她運用的治療方法，卻不見怎麼石破天驚，不少心理治療師也在使用，又不見他們能快速治愈病人，這正是 Satir 令人迷惑之處。
抽離地看，自能明白，她的效率，來自精確地引進符號，免卻對方既緩慢，又歪曲的認知思維，快速直接地進入更高階的概念思維層面。
在運用符號方面，Satir 比艾克森醫生更為優勝，因為你還能察知後者在說故事或講隱喻，但前者不斷在用，卻鮮為人知，你只要 Google 一下，便知根本沒有多少人知道其中奧妙。
你說那位才更是為高手呢？
小弟的心智符號學，表面上是模擬艾克森醫生，實在是從沙維雅女士身上學習。

P.S. 不明白為何上述的例句是在使用符號？不察覺也屬正常，否則小弟就不會說她是真正的高手；就以第一句為例，如果說的只是『希望 Hope』，那能會有『那裡 Where』的道理？

Coaching: 看而明白
Hi,
自從小弟水的形狀一文刊出後，不少同學電郵小弟，說看了很多遍，還未能領略當中含意，請小弟明示。
小弟標準回覆：大佬/姐呀，明白，需要看到，然後才能想到呀，否則再多看多少遍也沒用！
教練，就是讓對方看到更多之後，想到更多。
既然看了很多遍，那為什麼未能想到呢？
因為還未看到要看到的。
沒有提示下，惘無頭緒，以致看不到關鍵，那就只有胡亂猜測，當然不會明白，當然不會有所得著。
這八幅圖，是經小弟詳加挑選，並非隨意亂擇，當中隱含著十種教練助人的方向概念，明白之後，自然掌握。
八幅圖，為何是十種概念？
誰告訴你是一幅圖，一個概念呢？

Mental Symbology: 有關死亡
Hi,
有一位同學修讀 Mental Symbology Level 2 中的個體化 Individuation 之後，問了小弟數條問題，蠻有趣味，分享如下：
請問「未知死，焉知生」中的「知死」是什麼？
「知死」就是知道死亡是什麼一回事；但大部份中國人的信念卻是「未知生，焉知死」，結果我們對死亡存在很多疑問，所以中國人特別怕死，又特別對死感覺傷痛、無奈、擔憂。
如何「知」？
那就是哲學與宗教的範疇了，容格的個體化，就是一個在哲學與宗教以外的另一方法。
如除去宗教，死後的目的地在哪兒？
就是要自己去發現，容格的個體化，也是找尋死後目的地的方法，相當哲學吧！
我們研究的個體化是認識自己嗎？
研究的個體化是認識自己－Ego，以及更大的自己－Persona、Shadow、Anima/Animus，以及更更大的自己－Self，以及更更更大的自己－Ego與Self 的和解！
據書所說，容格都有研究「死亡」的問題，Keith 你知不知他有什麼心得呢？
瞭解容格的心得不易呀！他的學問已經夠難，他的心得更難掌握；以小弟的愚見，最簡單的來說，容格極受東方思想影響，他相信死亡是一個句號，但句號後是另一句的開始。

Hypnosis: 具體與抽象
Hi,
有同學電郵詢問小弟：如何分辨具體與抽象？
何出此問？皆因在『轉化催眠治療學』程序中，內在指導的意見必須具體。
為什麼必須具體呢？抽象，概念世界的事物，是心智符號，並非存在現實世界之中；既不屬於現實，卻要求受者於現實世界中執行，那焉能做到？這樣等於進一步削弱受者的信心，改進之路雪上加霜，又豈是我等二、三流催眠治療師所為，那是自動跌呢，直插九流。
查不止是內在指導的意見必須具體，凡從受者潛意識取得的正面訊息也需具體，否則也是無從實施。那如何分辨呢？
具體者，能接觸、能量度、能執行之謂也。
舉例來說，『你會努力練習英文』這句暗示，『努力』，難於量度；『練習』，如何練習呢？暗示中並沒有說明如何練習，那就難於執行，因此不是具體。
再舉一例，『你會打電話給 Peter，跟他說英文』又如何呢？『打電話』，電話既能接觸，打電話又能執行；『說英文』，說或不說，肯定能夠量度，這句暗示當然不是抽象！
不是叫大家說話不要抽象，因為根本無法做到，只是要大家在暗示時必須傾向具體而矣；日常生活，絕大部份說話也是抽象，因為概念以『抽象符號』代表，一個概念，就能包含大量資訊，溝通效率由此而生；再者，創意的產生，源自概念世界，創意者，現實世界尚未存在的事物，不具體者也！不能有效以抽象符號思維，創意就跟你絕緣。
學懂使用抽象、學懂使用概念、學懂使用符號，非但沒有問題，更是提升思維水平的捷徑呢。

Personal Development: Jungian Individuation Process
Hi,
This article is specially written for the participants of the Mental Symbology Program. I really thank them for having so much toleration to my presenting of these difficult to understand, but not really immediately useful material!
Thanks!!!
What is Jung's Individuation? Different people studying Jung can have different explanations. Jung provided us his theory which can be one of the best Personal Development Process.
We always talk about Personal Development, but do we have a way to do so? If yes, what is your way?
Many of our so-called Personal Development is just Personal Improvement. We figured out what is not working or not good enough and try to make it works or better. This is just Improvement. Development is going into another stage.
I do not have my own way, and I am using Jung's way.
Below is my simplified version of Jung's Individuation:
1. There are different kinds of Archetypal Complexes in our psyche.
2. Archetypal Complexes are the Concepts about ourselves, some are conscious, some are unconscious.
3. There can be more than one Archetype Complexes in each of the 5 (or 6) Major Archetypes.
4. Conscious Major Archetypes include Persona, our masks we used to face the outer world (e.g. one of the archetypes I use is a Trickster figure which is very flexible).
5. Another Conscious Major Archetype is the Ego, who do we think we are (e.g. one of my Ego archetypes is Wise Old Man figure).
6. Unconscious Major Archetypes include Personal Shadow, the dark side of our Ego, which compose of qualities we unconsciously repressed and do not want ourselves and others to know. In the past, there is a Puer figure in my Personal Shadow. Puer is an never grow-up child. I just don't want to be old!
6. Another Unconscious Major Archetype is the Archetypal Shadow, which is the dark side of the Self, or the dark side of human nature.
7. Anima/Animus is another Unconscious Major Archetype. Anima is the inside female qualities of a man, and the Animus is the inside male qualities of a woman. You can also see Anima being the Feeling Part of a man and Animus being the Thinking Part of a woman. According to Jung, they are the Soul of human being.
8. The last Unconscious Major Archetype is the Self, our true nature. This is the Spirit of human being.
9. One of the reasons why people suffers, being unhappy, and stuck in their development is that we do not know who we really are. We cannot understanding our true Self because the Self is being "blinded" from us by all those other Major Archetypes. You can imagine that the Self is situated in the centre of a circle, with layers of other Major Archetypes at the outside.
10. We do not know who we really are, so we think we are something else -the Ego and/or the Persona, and at the same time, we are affected by all other Archetypes in the Shadow, Anima/Animus and other parts of our Unconscious Mind (some Positive Archetypal Complexes).
11. Jung's Individuation is the process that we identify, inspect and understand each of the Archetypal Complexes from Persona, to Ego, Shadow, Anima/Animus and finally we meet our true Self. We understand that each of those are not our true Self. Once understood, they lost their power on us. The process of understanding is done by realizing these are either good or bad, and neither good nor bad. (This is a paradox, it is difficult!) This process is Transcendance.
12. This idea was created by Jung's modeling of the processes of practice in several religions including Buddhism and Taoism, etc. Don't you see those masters are full of wisdom?
13. So, Individuation is a process of Self Development without any religious boundaries.
14. Why facing the Self is so important in this Self Development Process? From my point of view, it is not important. It is the final step of the process but the importance doesn't lie there. It is the whole process of understanding what is not our true Self matters. With each misunderstanding being clarified, we transcend from one stage to another.
15. Furthermore, I believe that there is actually "Nothing" in the Self. If there is still something there, we are still blocked. In Buddhism, the stage of 非想非非想處地(定) is something similar to Jung's final step of meeting the Self. This stage is also named as 天人合一, 人神合一, 成道 in many other religions (Though Buddism considers this just as a starting point toward 證得佛果!). In this stage, we are not thinking and we are not "not thinking". The only way to achieve such paradox is that there is "nothing" there. There is only Emptiness (shunyata 空性) there.
16. If we are just considering Personal Development, we do not need to go all the way to the Self. When we start the process, each step of identifying, inspecting and understanding of each archetype makes us going into another stage of development. We understand that we are not "someone" or "something", we are "another one", which is nearer to our true Self.
This 16-Points description is just my own understanding. I might not be right about this. I am just sharing what I am practicing. I have practiced this for years and I am still very, very, very far away from the Self!
