Quote Quote: Changing subconscious beliefs that may be sabotaging well-intentioned actions is similar to reprogramming a personal computer. Using PSYCH-K techniques, a kind of "mental keyboard" to your own brain, you can increase "cross talk" between the two brain hemispheres, thereby achieving a more "whole-brained" state, which is ideal for changing subconscious

QuoteJust 'cause they put "science" in the name don't make it scientific. There's nothing scientific about scientology, there's no technology in the Landmark schtick, and Christian Science is neither Christian nor science. Probably the best kept secrets of the above cults!

QuoteI have spent quite a lot of time looking at Landmark and I am now very concerned indeed. I went back to her with some of my concerns and she hasn't replied to them at all. I think she does not want to hear it because in the past if I said something she did not want to hear then she would simply not reply. Because I said that our friendship was conditional on her not trying to co

corboy, thank you for so candidly expressing the nature and true picture of LGAT's and what they lack in terms of protective or beneficial human qualities.

QuoteBut in LGATs people get this feeling of early childhood omipotence, but are turned loose in adult bodies, with adult relationships and adult access to credit cards, flying high and heedless like tiny kids, but with no awareness that they are vulnerable in this state. Saddest of all, in the LGAT world, vulnerability is despised, (though vulnerablity is actually well understood as a motiva

speaking of the lost in landmark and zero empathy.... it seems that there will be a viewing of the film about landmarkia's leader in NYC on July 27th-August 2nd.

QuoteThis ability to feel shock, pain, dismay at the mere order to hurt another person is what kept our friend from brutalizing that man. What our friend had functioning in him is apparently something that is disrupted by the training process and belief system employed by many LGATs-empathy.

QuoteNettie, what's interesting is that you seem to think that Landmark's teachings are very much different than what you experience in life. Does Landmark push personal responsibility (including 'creating your own experience/reality') to the max? Yes. They do. If they were not doing that, then they'd be depriving you of the value they provide - which is making people awa

Kitty, If you're hoping to influence a person already brainwashed into landmarkia by attending an introduction, you will still have the same fight on your hands afterward. The programming doesn't allow for reason or logic to penetrate the landmarkian mind and certainly will not 'hear' the concerns of someone who cares about a person already manipulated. I attended an introduc
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

I wonder how many promotional speeches by landmark will be based on this judgement... At the end of the day, no matter how many lawsuits are judged in favor of the bad guys, they are still a destructive, self-interested, and inherently vicious organization. It seems that it remains up to the good sense of the consumer not to get sucked in and not to be deceived by what appears to be a positi

QuoteThese examples illustrate, to me, what is so tricky about Landmark. Many of its ideas ("distinctions") are reasonable in and of themselves. We should strive to be responsible for our actions, true to ourselves ("authentic"), true to our word ("integrity"), game-free, and the like.
