it all starts after the first course when landmark wants to get something from you. Evidently there has been some good things happening during the forum as participants get results.
There is an amazing power contained in the ability to communicate openly and honestly. It is so powerful that, if practiced in every area of life, we would not hear so much about wars or murder-suicide. LE uses this phenomenon to cause participants to believe that LE alone designed and controls this great secret to successful living, and can actually impart this 'technology' to the participants of a forum.
LE basically creates the lie of having invented the wheel, the 'wheel' being the positive results experienced when a forum participant practices a bit of open and honest communication or self reflection. A first time experience of the power contained in honesty and openness is liberating and unforgettable, and is probably what gives the impression that this amazing experience is unique to LE's repertoire, because this 'result' was never before experienced, although it was always waiting to be discovered.
The fact that LE intentionally capitalizes on any positive change surfacing in the life of a participant, just proves how vague is its understanding and respect of the virtues that cause people to soar and succeed in life, or about the humility and grace required to maintain the communication and progress inherent with personal growth.
How can such a limited understanding of these virtues give LE the right to claim it invented them or has the power to release them to forum participants?
So, I still cannot see where this "bad tree" has any "good fruit" to offer. Even [b:0fcce6a4f5][i:0fcce6a4f5]I[/i:0fcce6a4f5][/b:0fcce6a4f5] could cause people to be open and get honest about something in their lives, in fact I have, but I can NEVER ever claim that I invented Honesty or any by-product of honesty! No more than I could claim originality in successful manipulation of a person into dissociating from conscience and critical thought, to create an illusion of positive result. This game has been played for a long time, and is consistent in same results.
I can see why it is easy to believe that LE is responsible, in some way, for a positive result but in reality, the positive result was going to emerge sooner or later. Time, age, honesty, and communication would see to that.
LE would like the world to believe it has discovered the source of the phenomenon we call personal growth, communication, and every success that results from practicing these two simple things. It is so unfortunate that the act of honest communication and inner reflection is sometimes not committed [i:0fcce6a4f5]until[/i:0fcce6a4f5] one is either sitting in a room full of strategically ordered rows of chairs, with many others who had also refused to commit this act, or until one is standing in front of a jury of their peers trying to explain how and why life got so out of hand as to lead to a series of tragic and preventable events. There are countless ways in which we can be caused to get honest and choose to make positive life changes, this has been happening since long before werner, or the progromme designers for LE were even born.
LE is opportunistic and expert at riding on the shirt tails of basic realities that we choose to neglect or be blind to. For LE, its all about how to best set-up a person for maximal exploitation, for the participant it really is about personal development. LE gets its way because the participant sought something where it cannot be found but can be replicated long enough to clone another cash cow.
LE sucks through and through!! Sorry for my seemingly narrow minded conclusions of LE but I just cannot see the benefit in what LE causes in a person's life. I have only seen bizarre, out of character behavior with a conviction dangerous enough to want to cause someone to charge hell with an empty bucket of water. I have only seen what LE looks like in practice in the life of a person totally deformed by its 'technologies'.
