The Prophet within, the Wizard, the unconscious... aren't these just
other labels(dare I mention that word?) for what the christians call
God? Isn't this one of the connections between NLP and traditional
religions?
It is also what differentiates NLP from christianity which recognises
the God without, transcendendent and other from humankind.
This may sound like just fishing, but I have a theological background to
support it.
