====== Questions to Elicit and Develop Worlds ====== ===== Introduction ===== Here is a presentation of a series of questions that may be used to elicit and develop information from the client. ===== Going Into The Secondary World ===== This question takes a client into a [[theory:Secondary Worlds|Secondary World]]: * “What kind of you were you before you were this you?” ===== Developing the Sense of Self ===== These questions begin to develop the you in those [[theory:Secondary Worlds]]: * “What does / could / should / would that you know?” (note use of conditional statements) * “And what else does / could / should / would that you know?” (note use of conditionals) * “How old could that you be?” * “What could that you be wearing?” * “What does that you want to have happen?” * “Does that you have a size or shape?” * “What could that you be feeling?” * “Whereabouts in that body, is that feeling?” ===== Developing Other Elements in the Environment ===== These questions begin to develop the people and their relationships in those [[theory:Secondary Worlds]]: * “Who could be around that you?” * “Who helped that you?” * “Who hindered that you?” * “What does / could / should / would that person know?” (note use of conditional statements) * “And what else does / could / should / would that person know?” (note use of conditionals) * “Does that person have a size or shape?” * “What could that person be feeling?” * “Whereabouts in that body, is that feeling?” These questions begin to develop the objects and their relationships in those [[theory:Secondary Worlds]]. * “What could be around that you?” These questions begin to develop the space and objects in those [[theory:Secondary Worlds]], note the full use of 3-Dimensional space. * “What is ‘in front of’ / ‘behind’ / ‘above’ / ‘below’ / ‘to the left of’ / ‘to the right of’ that you?” * “And what is ‘in front of’ / ‘behind’ / ‘above’ / ‘below’ / ‘to the left of’ / ‘to the right of’ that …?” * “Does that … have a size or shape?” * “What kind of space is the space on the outside / inside of that …?” These questions elicit information pertaining to the client’s ontological heritage. This can also be achieved by dragging the client back to before birth through [[theory:Secondary Worlds]]: * “Where did you come from before you were born?” * “What was the nature of your being-ness prior to birth?”
