Programming and Metaprogramming in the Biocomputer by John C. Lilly, Ph.D. reveals that an outstanding thing about humans is that they are programmable. If you have a group that thinks in terms of "I can't or I won't" the whole world is seen from the viewpoint. Address these models of perception before the event begins. Find out if there is a "I can't" point of view present. Hold the old model in your awareness, but be present in the now without allowing it to effect the interaction.

There are ways to practice this. Sometime, when you're sitting in a restaurant, hold a little awareness of the people behind while you have a conversation with the person/people at your table. You can explain to the person you are with what the people behind you are doing. This is related to energy fields--morphogenics. This works with receiving information, but you have to respond organically. If you try to hold to the model in reacting, you will be too slow, it will be too constricted, and the person you are with will feel manipulated.

You can push your energy outward to other people. Start to observe people in terms of their energy. Observe those things in yourself and others and see that you can use those things as a tool. You do use them now, but unconsciously and undirected.

For example, I was with a group of scientists a few weeks ago, and they could not understand why people were scared of the new possibilities. The scientist were very intellectual but not into the body. The average person is afraid of what the scientists will do because the scientist do not seem interested in the body. A balanced person is aware of both aspects.

Another thing to strip away is the models. Put them into the awareness, the gestalt called you. But that intellectual context will not do anything with people. We rarely present models in the quick dynamic environment. Every word and construct is a model.
