HAHA! Extra incentive to WIN! :drool:
(or lose, eating... erm...taking as many worthless pieces as possible)

In cookie land, the recipe counts more than rank or position.

As he is to me as well. A word to those on the outside. When we have a get together it's usually a very short time before we stop using degree titles and start using first names.

What I find interesting is that I've never heard someone on the outside who's never been in use the term "cookie" to refer to the degree medallion, of course now that I've said that it'll be used by everyone.

I learned about 'cookie' from the ex-Temple members bashing me for defending the Temple on Usenet. It wasn't until years later, when I saw old copies of the Scroll with photos of Setian gatherings, that I realized how accurate that was. The Google archive will show examples of former members using the term 'cookie' in discussions involving me. :yes:

Aeons ago when I worked for The Man, I was a systems analyst. We found it useful to incorporate bits of our clients' jargon into our programs. Being amusedly retentive about odd uses of common words is just a habit of mine from those days.

That must have given interesting Pictures of the clients... And in the End an interesting Effect in your own picture...

I paint this in my Brain know and it is really intersting to look at how you can understand, define and manipulate people only with using their own jargon...

Thanks for this look into a System of words...

Actually our intent was not to manipulate our clients. We were being well-paid to handle sensitive data to their specifications.

Using their jargon in our programs served as documentation so someone new to the group could relate client needs or questions to the correct portion of a huge pile of code.

It also helped us understand the client by getting inside their heads just a bit.

 

[Ahanit]

Excuse me I didn't want to say that you have manipulated, but the picture Shows an ability for using it in this way

I mean if you have not the same Language there is a distance you must go through may be for doing LBM, But if you take the same Language the distance is much lower, because you seem to be out of the same group of people, I think you seem to be more Trustworthy (Is this the right word? Vertrauenswürdig?) and so an LBM I think would be much easier....

if you take the same Language the distance is much lower, because you seem to be out of the same group of people,

Correct. This is voice magic. Actually, you not only adopt group-specific vocabulary ("slang"), but also the syntax, the complexity, the speed, the intonation, mimic, fill words (like "well" or "you see" or "yo man" or "bro"). You pay attention to what topic can be talked about in the group and what topics should be avoided. And you remember that 90% of the rules in any group are made to ensure the existence of the group. The rest is made to ensure the profit of those running the show, be it in money, social status or otherwise. When everyone jumps, yells "huh" and throws a dollar into a box, it is not the best idea to yell "yeah" and' to keep the dollar. But pay a look at who will be emptying the box.. not necessarily the one who had yelled "huh" loudest.

I think you seem to be more Trustworthy (Is this the right word? Vertrauenswürdig?) and so an LBM I think would be much easier....

Yes, of course, that is the point of mimikry magic. You use the fact that people equate "known" with "good". Simple-minded fellows are simple to take in, arent they?

However in the case of Kori, the benefit is a mutual one. The consulting business will get things done faster because of less friction, and the client will get better results. So we have a win-win situation which looks like a good basis for long-term success.

Back from Vienna with new thoughts

Do you think that this knowledge could also been used in working with the Self in GBM?

If yes how could this look like?

I was thinking about that all parts of my self, all the different fears, Experience, knowledge, all what come up to the front to give their part into behavior can also bee seen as Groups with different language...

Do you think those analyses used in outside can also be used within to create change?
