Exploring Inner Landscapes

Abstract

John Grinder recounts how, in the mid 1970s, after he and Bandler completed The Structure of Magic and while still in the creative, playful and experimental phase of their collaboration, they were driving together to the first meeting of a new group. Bandler stopped and went into a shop to buy something. When he came out, ‘he was laughing. I asked what was so funny. He said (more or less), “You know John, people say the weirdest things, the woman I was talking to at the counter. She said T see what you’re saying’.” He then relapsed into convulsive laughter’ (Bostic St. Clair & Grinder 2001:165).
