Though I've only listened to recordings of RB, I believe his use of nested loops is a bit more complex than simply C loop within B within A, the basic way it's taught in most NLP and Ericksonian trainings, or described in books. He pops in and out of loops, refers to finished loops in new loops, leaves loops open, etc., creating arabesques where others might just do horseshoe around horseshoe around horseshoe. Does this make his loopiness more effective for passing along strategies? How could one ever know, or whether it's a hundred thousand other things he does or simply the suggestive quality of his presence as signifier creating the alusion/illusion in people that they've learned something when, since the map aint the territory anyway, the illusion may be sound evidence in and of it self of valuable experience/learning? But it's entertaining as hell, isn't it, and if the structure teaches nothing but how to think in the structure, which may be only an appreciation for complexity and the interrelations of systems, then that's something I'd aspire to now, no? best, JS |
