One of Neurolinguistic Programming’s daddies, Richard Bandler rewiring a woman’s phobic reaction to flying and small spaces.
Every sentence that comes out of this guy’s mouth is just loaded with suggestion, presupposition and all the other behaviour-modifying lingiuistic patterns. The fast hypnotic induction he does — the hand on her head, she goes under — is especially nice.
Part Two:
The soundtrack and Bandler’s Led Zep t-shirt are pretty rock and roll. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this guy had partied large with Jimmy Page when he owned Boleskine House.
Using that as a rather dubious segue, the first thing I thought when I saw him, before even seeing the awesome and mysterious Egyptian ring, was how Bandler looks a bit like Aleister Crowley:
But maybe that was just my association, formed by thinking of them as neurological mavericks, ringleaders jangling the keys to the black iron prison in front of the faces of inmates. Or something.
A quick submodality test — thinking about each of them, then seeing whereabouts and how big I store my idea of them — has them coded roughly in the same place.
The two men share what I understand to be fairly `direct intervention’ models for helping people change. And the sheer swaggering balls-iness and iconoclasm — especially where religion and other articles of belief are concerned.
