Hi all
I have not done any Landmark courses but am trying to understand things as I am concerned for someone whom I believe has been involved for about ten years.
My question is: how does Landmark continue to extract money from people who have done all their courses? Is this where "Vanto" comes in? Do people get moved up to a new level of money-making? Or do they get involved in 'investments" such as real estate, fine art, antiques, old books etc?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Vegiegardener, I don't think we have answered your concern about if landmarkers do invest their money AS WELL as their minds in Landmark and other things. The simple answer is no - Landmark is not after your money after a while...but your friends.
But landmarkers tend to think they can become rich (and famous) if only they use their new landmark thought system. A lot of people that have done landmark will try to associate with other people that have done landmark to set up some coaching company (mostly) or some money making scheme. A lot of people think they can make it in the MLM-business (Herbalife was big when I was involved).
However Landmark Education as such try to keep away from these business ventures that goes on between participants.
So maybe your brother will try to "grab" things (money) that he shouldn't have to use to further his career in landmark. That would be to rise up the leadership ladder.
Landmark uses people's lives (and their money in the process) by making them believe that the landmark way of life is the only way. So it becomes a cult. Any landmarker will deny this and say it is a racket, trying to be right and whatever jargon they can come up with. But in the end landmark uses people to the max.
When I write this I can see that this maybe will make you even more upset. Don't be. Most landmarkers snap out of it eventually. Very few make it to the top. Most end up being a bit disgruntled about landmark when they see that they don't live up to what they promise. Or when you don't make it at the next level of leadership.
