Many different theoretical and practical approaches to NF have been presented. Many practitioners rely on some variation of basic Learning Theory or Operant Conditioning as their fundamental framework. Others consider that a "Coaching" or "Participant Observation" model if more useful and appropriate. Others understand NF to bea form of quasi or actually medical intervention for the direct treatment of various disorders. There are profound limitations and problems with each of these approaches.

An alternative view is to recognize that this cutting edge technology is simply the latest and most comprehensive implementation of ancient approaches to personal transformation. Even here differing theories and preferences abound. Some believe that complex theories of Self and self-transcendence or intricate cartographies of consciousness and expanded states of awareness are essential. However, there are a number of perils that can be found in those path as well.

This presentation takes a different, more fundamental approach: viz, that NF is simply the clearest expression of ancient non-duality practices. This means that the concepts of Engaged Compassion and Absolute Bodhicitta are foundational for the "best practice" of NF. The implication of this view are profound and involve the possibility even necessity of ongoing engagement and personal transformation on the part of the practitioner as well as the "client" as well as an increasing simplification of the actual task(s) in NF, while the technology itself becomes increasingly complex in operation but even simpler in how it is operated.

The setting for this increased elegance of applied NF will be demonstrated in NeuroCare Pro, but the ideas are foundational and inform every form of NF, regardless of the particular system, approach or technology used.
