Hey there Agents of Change!

I hope the video above has been an eye opening experience. It’s fascinating to actually see it in progress. Did you notice how easy it was to spot it in the video above? Let’s recap a couple of things that we have gone over in the video and make some distinctions.

Please make sure you read through to the bottom of the page.

Visual Input System

There are two main ways a person is accessing their experience Visually

Visual Remembered: Where an individual is LOOKING UP and LEFT – (your right) they are triggering Past Visual references.
Visual Construct: Where an individual is LOOKING UP and RIGHT – ( your left) that person is making pictures of a new idea, understanding or something they have never seen before

For our purposes, we can generalize that if they are looking up they are accessing their internal information Visually. If you missed the eye movements, it’s ok… there are a few questions you can ask to see if they are accessing Visually.

Visual Remember Questions

What color is your car?
Which of your friends has the longest hair?
Where did you park your car?
What was the color of the room you grew up in?
How many windows are there on the front of your house?

Visual Construct questions

Can you imagine what a purple elephant with pink dots would look like?
What would your dog look like if it had a giraffe’s head on it?
Imagine a purple triangle inside a red square
Imagine your boss with green and purple hair.

Or you can ask the question: “When you went to get that memory, how did it show up? Was it an image, feeling, or a sound?”

Auditory Input System

The Auditory Accessing system has a added variation to it:

Auditory Remembered: When an individual looks to sideways to their Left (your right) they are listening to auditory sounds, tones or something they have heard in the past.
Auditory Construct: When an individual looks sideways to their right (your left) they are trying to hear the sounds you are describing or imagine what that would sound like
Auditory Variation: Where an individual is panning his/her eyes back and forth on a more or less midline, – they are experiencing an internal auditory argument. *(They could also be making many internal pictures. This happens when an individual is under extreme stress.)

For our purposes, we can generalize that if they are looking to either side of their eyes, they are accessing their internal information with the Auditory system. If you missed the eye movements, it’s ok… there are a few questions you can ask to see if they are accessing via the Auditory system.

Auditory Remembered Questions

What is the sound of your doorbell or knocker?
Can you play your favourite piece of music?
What does the sound of your parent calling your name sound like?
What was the tone of voice of the last person you spoke to on the phone sound like?
What does your car sound like when you start it?

Auditory Construct questions

Can you imagine what your dog would sound like if it spoke?
What would it sound like if a flute sounded like a trumpet?
Imagine what the sound of silence would sound like.
Imagine If dolphins could speak our language… what would it sound like?

Or you can ask the question: “When you went to get that memory, how did it show up? Was it an image, a feeling, or a sound?

Kinesthetic Input System

The Kinesthetic Accessing system has a added variation to it:

Kinesthetic: When an individual looks to DOWN to their Right (your Left) they are accessing or recalling past Kinesthetic “feelings, sensations or emotions”.

Kinesthetic Questions

What does it feel like to walk barefoot on a cool sandy beach?
What does it feel like when you rub your fingers on sandpaper?
Imagine the feelings of snow in your hands.
What does a pine cone feel like?

Kinesthetic Construct questions

Imagine the feelings of stickiness turning into the feelings of sand shifting between your finger?
Imagine the feelings of frustration turning into the feeling of being really motivated to do something?
Imagine the feelings of dog’s fur turning into the feelings of soft butter.
Imagine the feeling of being bored turning into feeling silly about feeling bored.

Or you can ask the question: “When you went to get that memory, how did it show up? Was it an image, feeling, or a sound?

Auditory Digital Input System

The main way a person is accessing Auditory Digital Accessing system is:

Auditory Digital: When an individual looks to DOWN to their Left (your right) they are accessing thier internal Auditory system – in effect having an internal dialogue. Or analyzing something the hear or want to say.

Auditory Digital Questions

Take a moment and listen to the sound of your own inner voice. How do you know it is your voice?
In what types of situations do you talk to yourself the most?
Think of the kinds of things that you say to yourself most often.
What is something you continually tell yourself?
What are your thoughts about this article?

Pattern Variations

The fun part about this with humans is that it’s never an exact science. There is often exceptions to every rule and in this case it is no different. For what we are looking for it isn’t that big of a deal with the variations, but I though it best that we cover them in case you are curious about things that might show up when working with others.

The Auditory Visual Pattern: When an individual seems to be looking right through you. he/she is really auditorializing and making a picture of what he/she is saying.

The individual has in effect literally altered consciousness; is looking in the distance at an imaginary blackboard, talking internally and picturing either the words or the scene that matches the words.

2. The Straight Ahead Visualizer: This is a program where the individual appears to be looking at the listener, but is instead, generating internal visual experiences.

The individual appears nearly oblivious to the people and events happening around them at that moment.
Two clues for spotting this program:

Starring without blinking
Pupillary dilation

There you have it, the world of Input System exposed. It is exciting once you have mastered and made this knowledge unconscious for yourself. It will be exciting to pay attention to the whole new world that having this knowledge will present to you.

EXERCISE:

Write three Aha’s that you have had watching the video or going over this material in the FB Group and bring them to the meeting on Friday.
Write THREE questions that this material has brought up for you in regards to working with others… ask them in the Facebook group and make sure you bring them to the meeting on Friday.

FAQ

WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE EYE MOVEMENT PATTERNS?

Understanding the eye pattern movements will give you a insight into how the brain is accessing the internal experience. This is important in terms of understanding when it comes to re-link or re write the person’s personal metaphor or story.

Knowing this information will also help you to understand how a person might be stuck. When there is an in congruency in the eye movements and the words when a person is describing an issue, it gives you what system might be keeping the person from being able to move forward in the fact that the third system is not being used as frequently.

WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE DIFFERENT EYE MOVEMENTS?

The reason we are learning the eye pattern variation is to ascertain how the mind is retrieving the information that is holds. It will be important to not get to bogged down in the details.

For our purposes we are looking to see if the are accessing the information either Visually, Auditory, or Kinesthetically. If we have missed the eye movements there are a few questions we can ask to determine what the eyes are doing or we can simply ask them, ” When you went to get that memory, how did it show up? Was it a picture, sensation or sounds?”

WHAT IF THEY ARE USING MORE THAN ONE EYE MOVEMENT PATTERN?

If a person is using more than one eye pattern movement, that is perfectly normal as we have said before, we use all systems and just have a preferred system.

If someone is using more than one system, we are looking for the first system they access or the most predominant system used when asking the questions. Noticing which system they access first or more often.

CAN I EMAIL KIM MY QUESTIONS DIRECTLY?

No. You can ask all SOC (Systems of Change) related questions and get feedback from other members in the Facebook group (and Kim is in there regularly). If you have a tech or account problem please email info@kimjewell.com.au
