Antano traveled to London to study with Richard Bandler. He had a headache. He sat in the front row desperately trying to absorb everything. Bandler had him sit next to him and began narrating a story to someone else about an Indian guru who could enter profound altered states. Antano did not hear the end consciously. He absorbed the state directly. His headache was gone. Something had shifted. Superior states of mind are not produced through instruction or intention. They are absorbed through precise mirroring of someone who is already in that state. The art of mirroring short-circuits years of practice because it transfers the embodied configuration, not just the concept. From a superior state, every other capability develops faster.
