Friends, have a look at the first three citations in this series. They were written by me but contain links to posted material given by "Guy" who was once a Landmark Forum Leader 'FL" and then chose to describe the mechanics of it all. A very big part of it is sleep deprivation and, believe it or not, setting the room up in a particular way.

Again, to make things clear, all the material provided above is from an early correspondant to this message board who chose the handle, 'Guy' and who corresponded on the old Google listserve alt.fan.landmark under the handle 'Guy Fawkes'. Guy reported having been an employee of LEC, giving a remarkable perspective. Because this message board is nine years old, earlier po

Good mooorning members! For all those interested for whatever reasons in this topic, lets celebrate the ninth year of this message board with a peep at the Golden Oldies--a member named Guy, who corresponded on the old Google listserve as 'Guy Fawkes'. Guy was a former operator in Landmark, got out and made quite a stir when arriving here and providing inside knowledge. Guy al

These tree huggers need to get up off their arse and get a job instead of sponging off the tax payer. It is we who fund this lifestyle. It appears they've just gone from one live-in 'community' to another, poor Dan. It looks like the poor kid has been dragged out of school to support the 'community'....

Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Corboy, I am new to the meme theory of mind, or the concept of mind viruses. I am reading with interest all the links. It seems to explain a lot , but is it a legitimate psychological phenomenon? Does the meme theory really propose that there is no such thing as free will or is this the humanist strand of meme-ness? From watching a video about the Brethren cult I was struck by the fact t

I just got back from a 7 day Zen retreat, and am rather punchy from lack of sleep. It was great. Your posts look fascinating. I want to read them after I get some sleep so I can give it my quality attention. Guy, you said my posts can be difficult to read because your old memes get re-triggered and it affects your ability to read and remember certain information. You said my posts were diff

>That was clever. I love that combining of the name and the burning down part. You confused me for a bit before I got the Guy Fawkes reference. Actually when I wrote it I was thinking about William S.

Quotegc4062 Hi SS, I look forward to the balance of the 16 points. What I posted for you is just a launching point for discussion. With the other folks who are regular posters here, we can flesh it out even further. Methinks we are about to open up the book of dirty tricks for all to see ;) I too am very curious to see what insights and experiences Guy, Hope, and others have to share.

Hi gc4062!, Holy smokes! That is some fascinating stuff! I'll post a more lengthy reply once I've had a chance to reread your post a couple of time and mull it over. You've given me much food for thought. I don't feel I can do it justice just right now so I'll take a rain check. In the future I will share the subsequent 16 points of seduction as per the "

Hello: I've been doing some research since my last post. I've since read both Outrageous Betrayal and also the '95 edition of Cults in Our Midst. I too highly recommend them.

For a provocative paper that describes the theory behind what Guy Fawkes has been telling us, go to 'Welcome to the Meme Lab' and read the paper 'A Beginner's Guide to Memes' by Dr Susan Blackmore. It is best to read the paper before responding to the material on this post. Blackmore's paper is well written and can be understood by anyone who is interested i

I've been studying up on the message boards and Landmark survivor testimonials ever since a friend got involved and I personally witnessed an "introduction meeting".

I had a correspondance with a woman who had been friends with a professor in the psychology department at a prestigious state university. Her pal was recruited by an LGAT and when my informant refused to get involve with the LGAT, her friend dumped her. I appreciate your kind words. I'm not very good as a public speaker.

Hi Corboy & Guy: I didn't know how to directly reply to Guy, so I apologize for the inconvenience. First off: Great site. I lost a friend a few years ago to Landmark. I'd never heard of them, and so at her urging I attended the introductory meeting. The speakers were very effective, and I have to admit that there were some intriguing points I ultimately declined.
