Richard Bandler Interview by Ronald Amsler 1/4

[apolit11]

CRIMINAL PSYCHIC RICHARD BANDLER IS OR WAS (NOT KNOWN IF HE IS STILL ABLE TO HOLD IT) OF AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ENERGY THAT WAS RUNNING THROUGH HIS BODY. IT IS BELIEVED THAT HE DESTROYED THIS ENERGY DUE TO SCHIZOPHRENIC MADNESS HE WAS GOING THROUGH AND WITHOUT THIS ENERGY BANDLER IS USELESS A TOTAL RECK, UNABLE TO FACE THE OUTSIDE WORLD. POSSIBILITY OF DEATH IS REAL DUE TO IT, BOTH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL. IT IS DEFINITE THAT HE HAS CAUSED GREAT HARM TO MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS ENERGY. SO ARE HIS FRDS

[awakenthefelixwithin]

@whicheverwayable ... (cont.) It is FAR less important to understand what's in a cure than it is to 'administer' that cure to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, ensuring that we know it works and works safely. A viewpoint focused on anything but curing the patient as a primary focus is useless; the specific working of these things is useless, since the moment we have a clear causal relationship, we can get to helping people.

[whicheverwayable]

@awakenthefelixwithin I have used NLP for years and still use it to this day, however after ten years I have slowly realised that a lot of what Bandler and Co say is overhyped nonsense and full of factual errors. What i'm saying isn't that the tools of NLP don't have success, but they can be explained far better using other sciences such as neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive psychology etc. Many tools focus on realigning cognitive bias which has been studied since the 30's.......

[whicheverwayable]

@awakenthefelixwithin regarding helping people, there is much more evidence for success with schools such as positive psychology etc, this is because Bandler has stated that we can't measure NLP being that it is the structure of subjective reality. A lot of social science deals with subjective reality with the same issue yet the outcomes are still measured objectively. This should ring the alarm bells of anyone with a vested interest in NLP yet doesn't seem to concern people. NLP is commerical

[awakenthefelixwithin]

@whicheverwayable It's also true that whilst Bandler is highly disdainful of the psychiatric community, it's fair: there IS a massive problem with the mainstream mental health/wellbeing community. Imagine a dry cleaner, gym, or any other business at all that took money for years before delivering a result, if it did at all? Whilst NLP typically doesn't fill in what's between A and Z, talented practitioners make sure that Z is a great result, and are too busy healing people to worry about B - Y..

[awakenthefelixwithin]

@whicheverwayable I'm genuinely curious as to where these things were discovered prior to NLP - can you please provide some sources? I can think of some things that are in a few places, such as basic "map is not the territory" etc, but submodalities? Timeline therapy? Matrix therapy? Deep state repatterning? Systematically-organised, standardised hypnotic language? If science is as important to you as it appears to be, then please be scientific and provide sources.

[whicheverwayable]

Overhyped nonsense. This all existed before NLP was invented. If you listen carefully to what he is saying and understand the terminology it is all gibberish and is full of errors about psychology. He over generalises, he makes good points about motivations, phobias and education but non of this is new, he disdains just to market his 'cure' as being more effective. Don't be fooled, NLP tools do work, but can be explained far better by science than NLP.

[rainwilds]

@whicheverwayable Yeah I totally agree. Nothing new here. My intuition tells me he's a shark.

[cheeseburgerwalrus2]

@rainwilds - "nothing new here?"

he's the guy that invented NLP. I use his techniques with hypnosis clients and I can name at least a dozen ppl who are now long term non-smokers, saving 150-300 dollars per month because I've used some of the techniques he mentioned in one of his videos. Oh yeah, and the ppl who no longer have phobias, that's another God send, too.

Thanks Richard Bandler, I appreciate what I've learned by practicing the suggestions you make. So do my clients.

:)

[rainwilds]

@cheeseburgerwalrus2 Nothing new in the sense that if you do your research you'll find that NLP is just a combination of ancient teachings of occultism. You forget that humans have existed for ages.

[whicheverwayable]

@cheeseburgerwalrus2 Trust me, the techniques you learned aren't NLP. I've seen so much of this from NLP gurus and practitioners, it's just other psychological techniques rehashed to sell. You have my respect for helping people, but people like Richard Bandler don't because they are just in this for the money, it astounds me what he comes out with, like all scientists are stupid etc. Most of what works in NLP is stuff that is already known from the fields of psychology he criticises.

[Yvescorbeil4life]

@whicheverwayable n

Bandler found out how to imitate the skills of amazing people It;'s not for nothing that Milton Erickson disliked him. He knew the personality of Bandler . He is a self-absorbed guru who did achieve some impressive skills but he is not a sincere teacher he is a narcissistic and I was fascinated with him years ago but the more tapes and more seminar and live shows you see the more you get to know what he is about,.Every anecdote is tainted with self absorption.

[JustBeWell]

Excellent video, myself and my colleagues worldwide have been using these principles successfully with clients for many years, they work.

[Bhodisatvas]

Bandler..great teacher, terrible dresser!!

But then again..is he dressing like that to subconciously influence the watcher to go do something? You never know with him lol

[NoelCasumpang]

Richard can Talk!!!

[hypnoramblings]

Great interview with Dr Richard Bandler :-)

Bye bye

The English Sisters

[etrusca777]

some of it is ok, but how come this man looks so ill himself? isnt that according to him, everybody can change as much as they like?...

[JiggaNiggaFigga]

@etrusca777

nlp is another commercial brain washing-money making machine, wherever you go you'll see people in trance, world needs Dehypnosis and more conscious people

[creativebollocks]

To help people, sometimes you have to inspire them. Richard is clearly charismatic and inspiring. He can stand and talk for hours..wow! BUT when you get uninspirational NLPers who have no charisma and are beardy-weirdies, can they do as well as Richard can?? I doubt it.

[DELPHIIII]

Possibly the worst "interviewer" ive ever seen. a child would be better. Why did rb do this lol

[FontanaCinemas]

This interviewer sucks. The first thing you have to learn is to NOT interrupt the interviewee.

[ebaylistentomusic]

While I have some real respect for Richard Bandler I also have to ask: if he really had the answers he claims to would he have ended up a cocaine addict involved in and likely the perpetrator of a homicide?

[Zaleblackwell]

@ebaylistentomusic

I was wondering about that case.

NLP has helped get over emotional problems... but Richard still remains quite the character. While I agree with nearly 95% of what bandler says, the homicide thing was weird. Evidently the woman was killed with his .357, but he didn't do it.

I can't find case files... so it's odd.

[400timesmore]

"... and soon I'll develop - in my endless greatness - a new method called Neuro-Hypnotic Nonsensical-Bullshit Method - NHNBM. Of course, with all the idiots believing in anything I'll do, I'll be selling seminars and books on that also."

[400timesmore]

NLP is about making money with seminars, books, tapes etc. . Get people to believe in it and u got the moneyflow.

[Zaleblackwell]

@400timesmore

I didn't pay for my training. Still worked for me.

[dallasgangsta187]

I Love Rich, but he looks like penguin from the 90's Batman series. lol

[willmackay]

@dallasgangsta187 That's hilarious! Very true... : )

[BananaSandwich1]

lol he does

[MoreChi52]

@dallasgangsta187 Thought i was the only one tht saw tht LOL

[louthewarrior]

I have watched the 4 videos of this interview and I think NLP is the answer to living a more fulfilling and happy life. The only downside I found and I have to overlook is Richard Bandler is overweight and looks really unhealthy. I find this quite ironic to what he is teaching.

[doyle430]

@louthewarrior I used to think that till I met him once.. the truth is that NLP is about giving people choice, not taking choices away from them. Its wrong to say because you can change something then we all have to become the same person with the same likes and dislikes,, If you want to stop smoking then great.. if not then that's a choice also, you can reason that at the end of the day we live and die and not much we do in between can change that.. may as well enjoy life the way we want

[willmackay]

@justinhawkes Yes i read that too a while ago... I don't think he was convicted though- not enough evidence.. Maybe he used his persuasive magic in court!

[TVagogoisGOD]

Richard Bandler MURDERED Corine Christensen with a .357 Magnum revolver ? ? ? WTF!!!

Do the research - Read "THE BANDLER METHOD" by Frank Clancy and Heidi Yorkshire. It's online and free.

[willmackay]

Yes i read that too a while ago... I don't think he was convicted though- not enough evidence.. Maybe he used his persuasive magic in court! He used to be heavily addicted to cocaine too.

[BananaSandwich1]

i through he wasnt found guilty in the end, tere was another suspect, he also did a lot of drugs when he was younger

[alttagil]

Why do they never mention Frank Pucelik in their interviews?

[region1111]

Great interview. By the first 30 or so seconds he spewed out enough logical fallacies and partial truths to make me vomit spastically.

[dreamerboyinnyc]

@region1111

who bandler in 30 sec  or the guy?

can you explain please.thank you.

[region1111]

Bandler. Google "logical fallacy" and read up.

[Zenos2nd]

@region1111 As a counterpoint, arguments that take the form of fallacies are not always false, and may be factual, if not well formed.

The structure of a statement may be logically inaccurate and yet factual.

[ARyttz]

@region1111

Being a bastion of pure, unadulterated logic, you'll have been sure to be quite familiar with the NLP before making such a bombastic claim, and will therefore know that the depth of the field prevents an accurate, eloquent synopsis from being delivered in two minutes.

In other words, because you've got so much purely objective sense going on up in there that you just *have* to spread it around, you'll know that this is an extremely dumbed-down version of rather intricate concepts.

[region1111]

ARyttz:

Your slimy marketing piece isn't fooling anyone. I'm familiar with NLP. Anyone who's experienced with it and honest will admit that it's at least 60% bullshit.

Even if you won't admit it to me, at least admit it to yourself.

[ARyttz]

@region1111:

Your deflection and rationalization is endearingly transparent, I must say.

At any rate, I never said it's 100% non-"bullshit." It definitely is largely "bullshit," depending on your definition.

If you're talking "filler" material and such, then aye. If you're talking "doesn't work," then you clearly learned about it from the wrong person.

[region1111]

@ARyttz . "If you're talking "doesn't work," then you clearly learned about it from the wrong person."

LMAO. That's what they all say, any time some scam system doesn't work for shit, its proponents will give you some variation of "the problem is with you, not with the system". An excellent technique for sucking in gullible, low self-esteem types.

[ARyttz]

@region1111

Hah, a year later and you're on this again.

Whatever floats your boat; if this matters enough for you to respond after a year-long break, I'm sure you're sure you're right.

It works incredibly well for me and for most people I know that got the increasingly-rare benefit of good instruction. For example, from somebody who's realized that NLP is neither a system nor a grab bag of tools.

La fin.

[region1111]

@ARyttz

"from somebody who's realized that NLP is neither a system nor a grab bag of tools."

Right, let me guess, "NLP is everything". Can you say brainwashed?

And everytime you try to NLP someone and they look at you like you're fucked up, just keep telling yourself "the technology works, I just need to practice more!"

[ARyttz]

@region1111

No, NLP isn't "everything." Not even anything like everything.

Good guess, though; A lot of so-called "gurus" do spout that self-serving crap. It's much easier to get butts in seminar seats if you're teaching attendees the seven-step key to Life, the Universe and Everything.

NLP is *essentially* just finding ways to replicate what works in a given field. Usually through experimenting and/or just asking particularly skilled folks questions and trying out their strategy.

[region1111]

@ARyttz

Feh, whenever nlp's bullshit or unethical practices are called into question, you get a stock-response sanitized definition.

When people are trying to re-enact bandler's nlp-hypnotic technique (which is pure fabrication btw) from "persuasion engineering" to get people to go into a trance and sign a contract to give away rights or large amounts of money, I'm sure they're thinking "NLP is essentially just finding ways to replicate what works in a given field!"

[ARyttz]

@region1111

The PE material isn't NLP, it's a technique resulting from the methodology. Saying NLP is unethical as the result of that is like saying all conventional psychology is bullshit because of primal scream therapy, or that an orange tree is bullshit because somebody grafted a branch from an apple tree onto it.

I like my sanitized definition; it helps me cope with the atrocities I'm committing on a daily basis in learning how to draw or, god forbid, write an entertaining speech.

[mikeroephonics]

@region1111 Super cool story!

[region1111]

@mikeroephonics thanks brah glad you liked it

[Djinnmeister]

@region1111 Yes, but which 60%?

[region1111]

@Djinnmeister that's up to you to figure out. And 60% is way too generous, I'd say it's closer to 90% bullshit.

[Djinnmeister]

@region1111 Bullshit when done by who? I find that when someone says NLP is bullshit is usually someone who doesn't have the language skill set. So, elaborate. tell me your 60%.

[region1111]

@Djinnmeister ok, for example, eye accessing cues are completely made up (ie bullshit) - eg. the idea that a person looks down and to the right when making a kinesthetic representation of a concept.

And in fact - the idea that people think in either visual, auditory, or kinesthetic mode - that's completely made up. I could go on and on...

[moonisveri]

i love that guy

[transfixedtornado]

richard bandler is about power, not about helping people - subtle difference

[chessnotchequers]

doesn't rb start to sound like a broken record after a while

[romeosilver100]

haha walley666 our comment is not too popular, but i kinda do know what you mean...bandler does look a bit creepy, im pretty scared of him tbh lol does anyone know why keeps touching his eye, is this some sort of anchoring, i have just started nlp and dont know much, holla back peeps.....p.s. bigturns33 comment could almost be an example of punctuation ambiguity.

[DAH210774]

I've got a book called Messages from the Body $129 from the US by a guy called Michael J Lincoln Phd. I looked up right eye itching and it says a belief of 'I don't wanna know'. 'They have a big fear of seeing too much about the world around them'. Also looked up right eye pressure which means 'Hard Hearted' 'They have developed a rather cold and uncaring approach to the world'. He's got a lot of issues, including either murdering or being a direct witness to a murder in the late 80's. Scary!!!

[moekanz]

@DAH210774

what if someone just has an itch in their eye? lol

[DAH210774]

I like Bandler, I've learnt a lot from him and NLP is amazing but I'm not one of those who see him as a guru and lose all sense of themselves. Another comment in this book says Itching eyes='Ostrich Response'. 'They are engaged in awareness-avoidance and denial-domination, as they become threatened by the propect of fully seeing their life history, current situation and intended destiny on their way to enlightenment. Also there is a deep sense of irration by what they see and want to rub it out

[maxxsee]

Richard Bandler is awesome. He is knows as the best hypnotist in the world. His knowledge about the programming of the mind i incerdible. His techniques has helped me a lot!

[Walley666]

All you need to do with Bandler is look at him and see what you can sense about him, what your instincts and gut tell you...

It then becomes plain that he is a weasel, and rotten to the core.

[Walley666]

(Developing *that* ability is a LOT more valuable and important than intellectually 'learning' NLP (not that he's really teaching you anyway, it's more akin to giving you the crumbs and using the main techniques on you negatively in the process))

[PIRETMIA]

amazing his shirt was found with blood stains on ..police divers found it . his gunned was used to kill her . he hyponitised the jury and was found not guilty

[marynarkw]

go to hell

[marynarkw]

Around 1980 Bandler started use cocaine and alcohol

In 1986 he was accused of killing his student - prostitute and drug user. Corine Christesen. Committed the murder of the drug party with Corine, Bandler and his friend. Bandler was defended by his lawyer, which also was taught NLP. The court failed to determine who the two suspects committed a crime

if you want more info about it jus check on inernet

as I know Nlp helps lose weight ,but when I look at bandler I am not sure about it

[schazam04]

I hear he has great methods for weight loss. Hmm wait maybe I am thinking of someone else.

[Bigturns33]

while bandler is great at his methods, bandler doesnt give it shit sometimes about applying them himself and that comes with obviously not having a problem with who he is and his confidence.

[Bellybeard]

Take a look at RBs pupil:

Paul McKenna - I can make you thin!

4 Episodes.

Ive been working with that method for three weeks now and ive lost over three Kilos (6 Pounds). So yeah it works. And im not specially fat at all.

I added -1hour fast walking a day- to help the fatloss out. Works great! Clothes are looser on my body now.

:)

[nilma99]

Bandler at the best I've ever seen him in 30 years!

[bandleriano]

hi very hi

[bandleriano]

@ cosmic fantastic lol lol lol

[cosmicjazzer]

A man is having psychotherapy... "No one listens to me," he complains to his therapist. "I see" says the therapist...
