For friends and family of the past weekends "graduates" of New Era Trainings second level "Realize", who said yes to the third level of training "ACT" this weekend.
Please be there for you friend, loved one, significant other. Do this by firmly saying NO to enrolling in New Era Trainings. But also please be understanding and patient with them and understand where your friend or family member is coming from.
Some of you must be prepared. This weekend you may receive a call from your friend or loved one in ACT wanting to have a last minute meeting to "catch up" or talk about life. You might get a "heart to heart" talk. You might have dinner or breakfast. But no matter what, you will get the hard sell about taking New Era. Be kind but firm in your NO.
Please read previous posts ^ ^ ^ ^. Your friend or loved one are on a false high right now from manipulative mind games from New Era Trainings, more or less like any other Large Group Awareness Training "LGAT" Group discussed in this forum and all over the intenet. Your friend or loved one have gone through very stressful situations, bad memories revived, and subjected to a "good cop bad cop" situations in which the same people who give praise to them also gives them severe verbal beatings (like an abusive relationship). This program can break even the strongest person, who have been deceived into thinking that the "coaching" of New Era Trainings can make them "change the world".
You might even have seen a positive change in attitude from your friend or family member. But do not be fooled, read previous posts ^^^^ this positive change is built on a shaky foundation and all New Era wants is for your friend or loved one to bring in more money to New Era.
Your friend or family member will be chasing you around the clock to go to an "guest event", or enroll for the first level Explore trianing. Please kindly, but firmly say NO. Why wont they say whats in the training? They will say its for your own good that you dont know. Click the link for a preview if your curious

Thats a description from a random LGAT training 20 years ago. That is close to the Explore training. LGAT programs are cookiecutter, they do not really change, no matter how much they say they try to "improve" the product.
Your friend or family member will continue to learn sales tactics in ACT to get trusted people to enroll in New Era like learning to adapt to your personality type so you say yes, like "being different" and "doing what it takes" until you say yes. Above all, they have told to make it a matter of trust. Your friend or family member has been "trained" by the New Era "coaching" to believe that they know what is best for you and if you trust them, you will say yes to New Era Trainings. You know this is BS, but your friend or family member does not realize at this time. You have known your friend or family member for much longer than New Era, so what do those New Era "coaches" know about the trust in the relationship with your friend and family member?
Some friends and family might even go so far as to make it an ultimatum - if you do not go to New Era Trainings, you do not trust me, so our relationship is over unless you go to training. New Era says they do not break relationship - but thats not honest for them to say that.
New Era is dishonest when they say they are not a cult. Maybe they technically are not a cult, but New Era Trainings can be very cult-like. New Era say they have no "guru", but what do the owner Lynn or other "trainers" to act like? Their "followers" do all they are commmanded to. New Era say they do not isolate from your friends and family members, but this is only true because New Era does not physically isolate people like some cults do. But there is lots of alienation from friends and family members when New Era instills an "us against them" attitude.
Please, please, be there for your friend or family member when ACT breaks them down. That high they feel now will quickly be replaced by a big low when they are lashed out by their New Era "coaches" for failing to meet enrollment "goals" - their sales goals. You see, to continue the training, to get more New Era "love", to "continue your journey" with the New Era "team" you are told to do everything possible to enroll more people in New Era. Including taking advantage your trustful relationships with friends and family. But be kind to your friend or family member - their mind is clouded by New Era right now, so they think they are doing whats best for you.
also be patient with your friend or family member if they meet their sales goals and are filled with pride from New Era. They will continue to pressure you and use a variety of tactics to get you to sign up. They have been programmed to think they know whats best for you. Eventually some of the people they enroll will fail their New Era goals because they think for themselves, fail at enrollment, etc. Remind your friend or family member does a true friend or family look down on their loved ones because they "failed"? Does a true friend or family member respect the decisions of their friends and family members?
Your friend or family member may be expelled from ACT when they do not meet sales goals. Please be there for them, their New Era "trainer", "leaders" and "teammates" have cast them down mentally and emotionally. New Era say you are "responsible" for your "results" and your friend or family "choose" to leave because they failed their objectives in ACT. That is how New Era can say that no one is kicked out of ACT. The good feeling your friend or family member felt when they graduated, that is gone, and they might be sad, angry, or emotional. They may not know what happened. They may feel embarrassed to say what really happened. As a friend or loved one, please be there to comfort them and forgive them and talk with them. They did not know what they were doing, but New Age clouded their mind and they think they are "responsible" for their failed "result". If this happens, just be their for your friend or loved one and remind them about their true trustful, loving relationship. Accept their apolgies for being obnoxious on enrollment. They never needed New Era to have a positive change in life. You are there for them, and have a lot of non-New Era people to talk to. Above all, they are strong and can think for themselves and can learn from their New Era Trainings mistake. We're only human, we make mistakes.
