Landmark robot/fan/apologist “pragmatist” enters the “conversation”.
Here is an excerpt of his views on how I should handle the fact that I enrolled a person that later killed himself. This way of thinking is “standard” in a landmark mind controlled person’s mind set. I have nothing against “pragmatist”. I salute him/her for coming here (this anti-LGAT environment) – it is courageous!
First I asked pragmatist if he had read the whole thread – about how I try to sort out my life “post landmark” – did he read that I enrolled a person that killed himself?
His response “I got that. What's your reason for being here then?”
Huh! – shouldn’t that be pretty obvious?
“I got that” is a standard Forum leader response that proves that this “pragmatist” tries to imitate a forum leader without knowing it – I’ve been there myself – I remember that I did the same thing – imitating forum leader Grace Pampus. She was using the phrase “I will kill you” when a person during the forum didn’t comply with the rules. The meaning of it was that she would coach the person into submission in a one-to-one talk where she would break the person down. During a dinner at my summer house I said to my brother (when he said something I didn’t agree with) that “I will kill you!” . His 4 years old son thought that it was real and was really scared. I imitated a forum leader without knowing what I was doing – that’s how it works – people become landmark “robots” without knowing it!
WELL: here’s his view on what I should do: (more landmark jargon….)Hi Nettie -
what I got is your thread. You requested I read your earlier posts - and I did. So here's what I really got - is that you think you somehow was a cause in the choice of your 10th enrollee to commit suicide (the guy with the 2 kids).
It seems to me is what causes you the most trouble is the unanswered question you posted in the thread - "Who/what caused his depression?"
I posit, based on what I've read from you so far, and this is strictly my opinion, that you are bothered by the lack of answer to this question. You are, as they say in psychology/communication schools of thought, in a self-induced state of 'cognitive dissonance' (I don't like this term, but I need some words to describe where you are at).
The way you get out of "it" (whatever "it" is that may be bothering you) is to make a choice - an internal choice - accept the blame for causing the suicide of your friend and move on with life. Or reject the blame, and move on with life.
If you choose to remain "stuck" with the question of who caused it - then that too is a valid choice, but that choice lead you to here, a place where you can 'vent' against Landmark Education - which is fine as well, I doubt anyone from LE cares, however you seem to be the one most affected by your predicament....
So how do you intend on resolving it?
I am not _faking_ anything here - and I do UNDERSTAND how you must feel. But are we going to dwell on that forever or ... what?
Peace out.
END OF HIS SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM....Huh!? So the solution is to make a choice - then it is all over. CHOICE is a landmark "distinction". They think that making a choice is all it takes to solve big problems...people choose a lot after doing the Forum. Some choices are good - a lot of them are made too quickly and it causes a lot of harm.
