RE-PACKAGING BANDLER TO MAKE HIM CUDDLY

I have just recently seen a new video which has been made about Richard Bandler, it is called Altered States: The Richard Bandler Story. It was produced by people in Bandler’s group and it is obviously a promotional film. This becomes especially noticeable in the last 20 minutes of the film as the focus goes to a new book that has been produced. My guess is that someone (namely John LaValle) decided that they needed to humanize Richard and re-package him in order to deal with all of the bad press, the negative stories, and a lot of the facts about Bandler. And why would LaValle be interested in doing that? Because he is the heir apparent. He will take over when Richard is gone. Now overall the video presents Bandler in a positive light and reframes the negative facts. You can see a lot of use of NLP in how the video was produced.
