Later, sometimes much later, this is followed up by an exploration of the internal reality or environment of the magician. I must admit that I think the order should be reversed. Focus first on understanding with the internal environment and then focus on interacting with the external environment (Though as we’ll find the two are inextricably connected). Briefly, though, I want to consider why people focus initially on working with the external reality, instead of the internal reality.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/50D20540-676B-4C42-964C-7DE4EBE4E7E8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
