Process Model and Content Model

As far as I know, there are two major schools in the field of NLP: the process model and the content model. The more I learn New Code NLP, the more comfortable I feel to live my life pursuing the process-model. It is like the concept of "limit" in calculus. Although my NLP instructor, Mr. Matsushim says that even the concept of process model is a content itself, I have come to realize its fundamental difference between the two. I guess it is more like an idea rather than any concrete definition. Basically, the process model is the way to think in terms of flow that consists of each unique event that may be considered as "content." But since this each event can be theoretically even broken down into much smaller event, if you think of each component of the event, we can say the pure process does consist of infinite number of contents as long as we focus purely on the process itself.

So, if we interprete this concept and apply it into our daily life, we can even say that we don't even need to difine our mission in a static way since the process of pursuing "whatever we think is right in the now moment" will lead to create our dynamic mission after all. It is rather my desire that when I die I want my special people to tell me in the presence of my dead body "so this was her mission in life..." I don't really need to speak out to the world what my mission is. That is uncesessary. People will know and appreciate it by my action. This is about the congruency taught by my husband and John. I want to speak and walk at the same time...
