Metaprograms are these filters of perception, which decide how we develop specific, individual thinking patterns in our brains.
In his book Introducing NLP, Joseph O'Connor
He uses language compatible with their metaprograms, changing the shape of information in advance and making sure that they will be able to understand it easily.”
