THE FIRST META-QUESTION

In Meta-Coaching, we ask meta-questions. Recently someone asked me a very strange question. “What was the first meta-question?” What the person meant was: What was the first meta- question in the field of NLP? That got me thinking. Wondering. What was it?

Then I remembered something. So I pulled out the book, Meta-States: Mastering the Higher Levels of Your Mind (2008, p. 237) and there it was. What I wrote there was about when Richard Bandler and John Grinder heard a meta-question from Virginia Satir. They even called it a meta- question, but they did not understand it.
