Quantum linguistics implies a "movement" of thought patterns or exploring multiple dimensions or quadrants of any issue or thought. The four basic dimensions or quadrants to quantum linguistics (or virtually any issue) are the Theorem (AB), the Inverse (A~B), the Converse (~AB), and the Non- Mirror Image Reverse (~A~B). These quadrants are based on Cartesian Quadrants from Calculus. The "~" simply denotes the word "not", or a negation, so the Theorem reads "A, B", the Inverse reads "A, not B", the Converse reads "not A, B", and the Non-Mirror Image Reverse reads "not A, not B". To help translate this to language (the English language in our case), we can use the following sentences as simple examples. For the Theorem, "What would happen if you did?". Notice the two positives in there, "would", and "did" (would = A, and did = B).

Now let's try the Inverse. An example would be: "What would happen if you didn't?". Whoa!..a whole new world of possibilities just opened up, didn't they! Notice the negation in "didn't", and notice how it changed the focus of your thought pattern! In this situation, the "would" = "A", and the "didn't" = "~B". The next quadrant, the Converse, would be "What wouldn't happen if you did? ("wouldn't" = ~A, and "did" = B). Finally, the Non-Mirror Image Reverse."What wouldn't happen if you didn't? ("wouldn't = ~A, and "didn't" = ~B).

So you see, much of this pattern has to do with shifting the point of negation to shift the focus of the thought-form..fun and effective, huh? Does it sound like it has interesting possibilities?..What would happen if it didn't have interesting possibilities? Or, What wouldn't happen if it did have interesting possibilities?.. Wait!. What wouldn't happen if it didn't have interesting possibilities?..made you think!

Now, you may be wondering how you can use this to help you produce the results you desire in your daily life and/or in a light & sound session. In your daily life, pick any action you're contemplating taking that keeps running through your head if you have no thoughts that do that, just pull up something you've thought about recently where you'd like to explore the possibilities of the thought. This can work WONDERS for "worry" issues, so if you have something on your mind that you're worried about, pick that. Got it? Great! Now as you think of that thought or action you are thinking of taking, simply ask yourself "What would happen if I did do it?" Notice the thoughts that this generates. Repeat the question to yourself and notice that your mind comes up with one ( or hopefully more possibilities). Then after you can't think of any more thoughts in that area, ask yourself "What would happen if I didn't do it?" Once again, notice the shift in consciousness. How does this affect your thought and feelings? Notice where and in what location of the mind or body these feelings/ sensations occur. Let your mind give you all the possibilities it can for each question!!! Continue to ask yourself "What wouldn't happen if I did?".once again be conscious of the shifts in your mind. Again, feel free to repeat the question to yourself and spend several minutes (or all the time you have) on it. The more time you play with a question and the more time you allow your mind to explore each quadrant, the better and more satisfying the results usually are.

For the final question, ask yourself "What wouldn't happen if you didn't do it?" You'll probably feel a huge expansion at this point! That's great! Just let your unconscious mind do its job! That's what your unconscious mind does best. Once again, let your mind play with this last question for as long as you are able to.

In light and sound session, the process is almost identical. Pick and issue before you start your session or if you're doing a session and an issue comes up (it happens!), you can use this pattern right then and there. Once you have the issue ask yourself the four questions and notice what happens.

Personally, I've found that asking these questions during a light and the sound session can have profound effects on the user. One of the most interesting variables to play with during a session while asking these questions is to play with the light speed. I've found that when the frequency is in the Alpha to Gamma range, your mind seems to give you answers quite quickly. Remember to explore the slower frequencies too. Some of the best answers that I've come up with came to me when I was using a Delta or Theta frequency. This is probably because when very low frequencies are used, such as Delta, or Theta, the conscious mind's intrusions to the thought process are minimized. The reason I don't give specific numbers is that there seem to be no exact frequencies that produce the same results in everyone, but the general brainwave states do seem to provide fairly consistent results.

Using close eyed glasses versus open-eyed glasses tend to make a difference too. As one would expect, the user tends to get deeper answers when using the closed-eyed glasses, probably because there's less distraction from the outside world. The open-eyed glasses, however, I've found extremely invaluable because I use this linguistic pattern quite often at my desk while I'm working. Both the open-eyed and close eyed glasses seem to be equally valuable in this linguistic process, yet can produce different results.

In conclusion, have as much fun as you will allow yourself to have. Playing with this set of four questions seems to be one of the best ways to approach this pattern because the unconscious mind likes to play, and by utilizing these questions; you're discovering possibilities you may not have been conscious of, till now. Possibilities that can raise your consciousness and possibly solve all your "problems". Have fun, and remember to trust your unconscious mind
