Numerical order

[Corrie van Wijk]

Phil says in the Clean Language section, the thread "What kind of things ...:

"David Grove did at one time experiment with using something like: 'And here is my first question.'... 'And here is my second question' and so on. Interesting though that they don't look or sound like questions, not as written here anyway. When I try them on myself, I miss the interrogative aspect. Anyone know what actual words he used for this?"

I'd have to go through my notes to find this one.

In our november meeting Lynn (the Elf) played an I-pod recording of David, I guess in Paris, using: "What is the first thing you know?" He explained (lovely to hear his voice again) that this implies a "What is the second thing you know?", etc. Of course it goes to six!

David often said that the client when in state/flow what ever you call it became unaware of the facilitator (F) and this is also the intention of said F.
Because of this state the client knows what the next question is (not all the time) or they have a better idea than the F.

‘and now I’m asking my next question…………’

I’ve only asked it in one 6-7 question sequence, often it only needs to be used once. The client still needs direction and too many of this type of question confuse the client.
It doesn’t work if the client is intent on listening to you (for guidance or leadership) so it is dependant on the F not being part of the psychoactive space.
