In the middle ages the majority of people believed the world was flat. Anyone who challenged that belief was considered either a lunatic or a heretic. At that time, the majority of academics and astronomers had quietly worked out that the world was not flat; however they were unsure of the bigger picture of the universe.

A key factor that differentiates the New Code to the Classic Code is the utilisation of the unconscious in selecting the resources to bring about the change. Whereby in the Classic Code of NLP, the client consciously selects the resource, in the New Code a context is created where unconscious processes are utilised (with minimal conscious interference) to bring about the change. The pattern that bridged the way for the New Code to emerge was the old six step reframe, the first NLP pattern to explicitly use an involuntary signal.
