Deeper Structure

On the surface, this technique is simple. One way to think of humans and our desires is like chemical compounds. Certain atoms have certain affinities for other atoms, much like certain people have certain affinities for certain things. There is energy that binds atoms to other atoms, just like there is energy that binds us people to the things we desire. In chemistry, that energy between atoms can be described in term of valence electrons and various chemical laws. In us people, that desire is a bit more vague, metaphorical and perhaps esoteric, but it is certainly there. A strong enough desire, for food for sex or even revenge, will drive to us to behavior we seem incapable of controlling. If you are very hungry, for example, you can scarcely focus on anything else until you get some food in your belly. So even if we agree that speaking of humans, our desire-energy, and those things we desire as objects is a metaphor, it is a very helpful metaphor. It is a very simple metaphor. When you elicit and anchor a very clear description of what somebody desires, you are simultaneously eliciting and anchoring that desire-energy. With care and focus, you can transfer something else in place of that surface level thing that they associate this desire with. In the previous chapter, we looked at transferring the desire from becoming a vet to going on a date to a zucchini restaurant. Despite how goofy this sounds, structurally it is very simple. Create an imaginary picture, out in space, of something they very much want. Then slowly replace that imaginary picture there with something else (a zucchini restaurant, for example), while keeping their desire strong. If all goes well, that desire (or a great deal of it) will be transferred to the zucchini restaurant. We can call this the structure level view of how this process works. But what about the deeper view? Let's consider some ideas.

Desire Is Partially Fungible

Whether something is fungible is usually an economic term. For example, if you go to a restaurant and check your coat, they'll give you a ticket. Your coat is NOT fungible. This means when you give them your ticket, there is only one coat on the entire planet that you will accept in exchange for that ticket. On the other hand, think of a grain farmer. He harvests a few thousand bushels of wheat, but he's a couple weeks early, so he's got to put it in storage until his buyer shows up with all his trucks. Other farmers do the same thing. So, the guy gets a ticket (like your coat ticket) which is good for two thousand bushels of wheat. When he gets his wheat back, is it really HIS wheat? Is he going to check every single grain? Nope. Any wheat, so long as it's acceptable, will do. So, an economist would say that wheat is a fungible commodity. So are things like oil and gold. But what about money? Each individual bill has a serial number.
