...as I was saying... WHAT A HOOT! -- If anyone really believes the Dalai Lama could possibly learn anything from Landmark/EST, then he/she is certainly existing in an altered reality! from now on I am going to refer to the Landmark "Education" Corporation as Landmark/EST, because, in spite of the fact that Leaders keep saying Landmark has nothing to do with EST.

tonetronic - do you have to swallow arsenic to know if it is poison? I went to three "graduation" ceremonies; all three times I learned not a thing, no info on the ciriculum, just my "friend" forcing me to look into her eyes while she attempted to hypnotise me (as she was instructed to to by the Landmark Trainers) - fortunately for me, and unfortunately for

I am so glad that we have this forum. I only hope that people who have got sucked into the Landmark/EST vortex of brainwashing and unethical, damaging, unlicensed group-therapy will come to their senses. Let's call it as it is - a racket, a swindle, a bunch of self-interested individuals preying on people when they are at their most vulnerable.

Vic-Luc I'm sorry you had to loose your fiancee to Landmark. And that you were used so Badly...but I am glad you did not accept the FREE course, because by now you would be just another Brain washed Landmark Junkie - and there are already too many out there. It kind of reminds me of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers, only insert Mind-Snatchers. *sigh* it IS very disturbing, and I am

Celina, I would like to know where you are, the US or Canada? I know that Lululemon forced its staff to attend Landmark. There is also addresses to write to in British Columbia where I am encouraging people to voice their complaints. Landmark cohersive tactics and brainwashing have no place in a supposedely "free" society. They have to be held accountable. So if you are in

UPDATE; I just spoke to another friend of mine. She said one of her friend's got sucked in by Landmark and is now initiating a complaint process; she suggested that as many people as possible write to : The Attorney General of British Columbia (Canada) The Honourable Wally Oppal Room 232 Parliament Buildings P.O.

Landmark (aka EST) is technically not a cult. However it IS cultish in the techniques it uses. It does not have one "guru" or leader that people follow, rather it has several. In my opinion Landmark Education Corporation (keep in mind that a business Incorporates to protect itself from liable) is WORSE than a cult, because people are lulled into a false sense of security.

right on! , exImpact. Mauxi - i don't believe you. Either you work for Quest/Landmark, or you are living in an alternate reality. But what is more likely is that you realize that you have been duped, but you need to save face. As I will tell my friend when she finally "sees the light" (gets her brain back!) is this. We all feel vulnerable or worthless at some tim

Hi "Sane Again"; i think that Quest might just be another name for Landmark Education Corporation, or perhaps they are a new type of franchise who bought their "technology" from Landmark? In any event, i am curious to know if you signed a concent form, and if you have Quest permission to hypnotise you? Landmark states that people are required to sign a d

What i find most disturbing about "the Landmark Experience", and subsequent stories i have read about on the Internet, while people feel very strongly that Landmark IS "cultish", and that they are a just a big money grabbing company, no one has yet identified that The Landmark Education Corporation IS using group-hypnosis during the sales-pitches to family and
