He doesn't phone or email anymore, but interestingly enough, once in a while, he shows up out of the blue - always on a Monday or Tuesday - almost his old self. He acts like there's something he wants to talk about ,,,,
My friend's weekly Landmark meetings happened on Wednesday nights. If your friends' schedule is the same, it's possible he's sort of "coming around" by Monday or Tuesday -- the hypnotic effects are wearing off a bit after 5 or 6 days -- and he's feeling the need to connect with people from his pre-Landmark past.
I've heard that talking about happy times before the Landmark involvement helps bring out the "real" personality, and that you can sometimes talk about groups other than Landmark -- but similar -- without getting shut down by the person.
I've tried talking to my friend a little about Scientology, but he's already connected the dots. He heard Tom Cruise speak about CO$ once and was pleasantly surprised how much it sounded like Landmark.
