Cause  and  Effect  
 
 

 
 
 
Think  of  putting  together  a  jigsaw  puzzle.    
 
The  edges  of  the  puzzle  are  shown  by  Modal  Operators.    
 
The  structure  is  shown  through  Cause  and  Effect.    
 
The  structure  of  what  you  might  ask.  Well,  the  structure  of  whatever  you  are  talking  
about  with  the  person.    The  way  they  structure  their  beliefs.  The  way  they  structure  
who  they  are  as  a  person.  
 
Hmmm,  starting  to  get  ideas  running  around  in  your  head?    
 
If  the  belief  or  structure  is  not  supportive  of  what  you  want,  you  can  direct  their  
attention  in  ways  that  allow  them  to  change.  
 
And  we  have  similar  ways  of  doing  it  as  we  did  with  Modal  Operators…  namely,  
going  back  and  using  the  other  meta  model  patterns.  
 
 

  1  
Example:  
 
The  truth  hurts.  (Truth  causes  pain.0  
 
• Mind  Reading:  How  do  you  know  truth  causes  pain?  
• Lost  Performative:  Who  says  it  truth  hurts?  
• Universal  Quantitifier:  Does  truth  always  hurt?  
• Modal  Operator:  Can  truth  ever  feel  good?  
o Can’t  truth  set  someone  free?  
 
And  of  course,  we  have  ALL  the  patterns  of  reframing,  as  teach  in  Magical  Objection  
Mastery  that  are  specifically  designed  to  deal  with  Cause  and  Effect.  
 
Practice  Sentences:  
 
In  the  sentences  below,  if  the  cause  and  effect  is  not  clearly  written,  you  write  it  
more  clearly  so  you  can  better  see  what  you  are  working  with.  
 
In  addition  to  the  sentences  I’m  giving  you  below,  write  out  your  3  biggest  
objections  in  the  form  of  Cause  and  Effect  and  practice  with  them  too.  
 
1. The  more  confused  I  am  the  more  upset  I  get.  
2. Rushing  into  things  creates  problems.  
3. Love  causes  desire.  
4. Discipline  or  pain  –  which  do  you  want?  (hint:  X  =  Y)  
5. If  I  save  enough  money,  I  will  get  ahead.  
6. I’m  not  working.  Life  sucks.  
7. I’m  afraid  what  might  happen  to  me  financially  if  I  don’t  turn  things  around  
quickly.  
8. The  more  I  spend  the  further  in  debt  I  become.  
9. If  I  make  my  own  decisions,  I  don’t  have  to  pay  commissions.    
10. As  I  listen  to  what  you  say,  I  can’t  help  recalling  a  time  in  my  life  when  this  
didn’t  work.
