About people in landmark being miserable. Well I think the forum leaders must get tired of doing the same thing for years and years. I know of at least one who tried to quit but wasn't allowed to. That person has been doing it for some 20+ years. Really what forum leaders do is play a script. They repeat the show weekend after weekend and I think it would be like an actor playing the sam

Actually the high never came back even though I did take the forum again. During the high I got trapped into taking the leadership course to become an introduction leader. I wanted to become a forum leader myself since I thought they were supermen/women. But when I later came to work close to these superbeings I could see that they were just caught in the trap themselves. They had to "ge

It is quite obvious that this kind of experience may cause unwanted effects for the participants; - Manic-depression - suicidal thoughts - doubts about your identity And more. When having experienced these emotional ups and downs normal life somehow becomes a bit ordinary. You tend to get hooked on the emotional high. Wanting more - thus signing up for more courses. And assisting. And th

Here you can see a bit what a Landmark Forum is. Imagine sitting in a chair listening to this for 3 full days. 9AM - midnight. I did not listen to it all. I skipped to 50 minutes into the talk.

Note that this is only my opinion - not the truth. Landmark Education is an evil cult that enslaves people - like any other cult that tells you that they have the answer. Why evil? Because they know that people suffer mental breakdowns after doing their courses. And they do not care. Lars Bergwik In memory of Hans Linder who killed himself after doing landmark courses.

I think they want to put their efforts in other parts of the world - Asia is a big thing for them. In Stockholm we had about 1000 new recruits doing the forum per year. After the media exposure I think the numbers dropped to a level where they didn't think it worth while to keep the office. Landmark is in it for the money and the powertrip.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

well - if you have come to the course there is an opportunity to leave the first day and get a full refund. Of course you can leave anytime during the course - not show up after a break. I am not sure what good that would do though since your employer probably will find out that you didn't complete the course. I hope everything works out for you - I understand it is not easy just t

Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

the only reason why they close down an office is that it does not produce results. Results = new recruits = registrations to the "intro course" - the Landmark Forum. If that statistic is too low they cannot keep an office even if supporters love to have that office to go to. So now the dutch people have failed to deliver .... :-) ...thus they have no office.

In my ILP there was a mix of people of all ages. I do not think age has anything to do with it. However the older you are the more likely it is that you will be aware of cults....I hope :-) Sidenote: In the morning shortly after waking I had to read the landmark leader charter - then I was supposed to live by the text in that charter.

Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Landmark and its leaders are themselves caught in a mindtrap that make them shy away from reality. They do not believe in an objective reality so they believe in a subjective reality - thus making it a very lonesome reality. I have not met any landmarker that is truly happy. When you do the ILP you train to fake happiness. That is because you have to put a veil over the state you are in - stre

I am very sorry to hear about your troubles. I did the ILP and the pressure to enroll people was endless. I had to write a list of 100 people and start contacting them. That was "the game" in the ILP. Landmark calls everything games. Even when it involves danger that you will suffer a psychosis. Their respons will be that you probably shouldn't have done a landmark course - i

My hope is that young people will do an internet search before entering the landmark cult. For most young people in the world today a natural way of investigating something is to google it before trying it out. Of course some people get intrigued by dangers and they will try it out anyway. If I would have had the same possibility to google "landmark education" in 1994 I might hav

If you read this page BEFORE going to the landmark forum you will get a sense of what will go on in your head after the course. The landmark forum is very mentally exhausting. This is just part of the jargon that they will implant in your head. The insights are not insights - they are just repeated jargon. To live by the standards when you become a true landmarker is impossible. You

I am not sure if I am guessing/hoping.... But I haven't seen many new faces....a lot of them are oldtimers. Let us hope that the stock of "forum leaders" soon will be less than the 51 pcs we have today. It has stayed around 50 since the 1990's. BR Lars

1. they have a history of complaints, mental illnesses caused by their courses. 2. they try to silence their critics - that is a sure sign of someone who has something to hide. 3. they repeatedly try to reorganize their business/courses - isn't that a sign that there is something wrong with what they are doing? 4. they lie - when the center manager in Stockholm was asked the questio
