If you know someone that is or was heavily involved in landmark can you share the marked differences in them? Do some people remain relatively the same while others become completely different? Do they argue constantly? do they spout weird shit like knowledge means nothing then get very twisted when told that is bullshit? I wish this place was a bit busier but I hope some people can give some

I am against Landmark, But what does anyone have to say about the people that are active in it for years and intend to be active in it forever that never seem to suffer negative effects? Are their minds so gone that they never get anything negative from the experience? I ask because my friend who has been active for 5 years and stated one day he would like to be a forum leader has not one sing

Shy, Nothing about Landmark or LGAT is a therapy for severe mental illness, in fact Landmark specifically says it turns people down if they are known to have the history you have suggested you have. All they are doing is opening your mind to be suggestable (meaning it puts you into a state where you believe and absorb things you normally wouldn't or at least would question) Like Gloria

Thanks Rick that was very informative... Ok also they teach you relatioships are important. They urge you to clear your past with past relationships (how I got to be so lucky to learn about landmark an ex needed to clear stuff up) They impart on you the importance of your family and to take people as they are do not try to change them. IN theory this is a nice little fairy tale, in reality i

Have any one of you ever considered that the positivity you feel is because of the mind manipulation? What do we learn in the forum? To keep your word (something my parents taught me), have integrity (something I learned all on my own), create a possibility to achieve something (aka a plan), do not blame others or your past for present failures (duh wow I know many do this but it is easy to f

That seems to be landmarks answer for all things great and small, something is stopping you from being successful, from recruiting more people etc.... The explanation that one has run out of friends and family to accost into joining is merely a racket (?), I know my friend seems to believe I should panhandle or even call president obama (yes calling the president was actually something he SAID I

Anyone that would like to discuss Landmark and things it has done to them or loved ones of theirs please private message me anytime.

Lars, Being close to these forum leaders, what made you believe they were quite miserable? Why would they continue to do it year after year if they are miserable? I believe you have two types of landmarkians, the ones ever searching for the original high, and the ones that have bought it so completely that their whole mode of thinking has changed and these ones will never see what the mind ma

What do you guys think about someone involved in one of these groups who can say yea I was brainwashed but I am happy with my life so I don't care.... Are there any good uses for LGAT's?

Stoic, I know he is using subtle pressure I recognize that and therefore do not actually feel pressured. I do not even like organized religion (christianity, catholicism etc) I do not buy the idea that any one place can help me change, I don't want to change I am happy with who I am, financially I am not good but otherwise I am happy, and the forum will give me nothing I need as far as

An example of the last conversation, I am unable to get any loans, grants scholarships for school, as of now I feel I have exhausted my options, until I can come up with some new ones. Anyway he says this is an example of my past holding me back, (I incurred a ton of debt when my mother died as I had let her use my charge cards, I was never able to get out of the hole and had to claim banktruptc

Too bad he wasted 8 months, my defesnes could never get so low.... Especially since I have thought something was very wrong with his personality since day one of this "reconnection". I have respect for him and I think no less of him due to his involvement in Landmark I wish him happiness and success, I am a little sad as I do think things will one day come crashing in on him, but there
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

And for the record, I see nothing positive about his changes from the forum (he has been involved with Landmark for 5 years, at this moment he is taking the wisdom courses so it's not like he is fresh out of the forum unless he takes it repeatedly), he is more narcissistic and self absorbed than he ever was. You cannot even have a decent conversation with him and this was BEFORE I knew he w

Thank you Martin, I have to digest most of what you said. I will never go to anything from Landmark, he has mentioned a few times me going but I refuse to even consider it. I will post more later. I just had an interesting convo with him.... ohhhh what a waste of my time...
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Stoic, Thank you for replying to me. There is no possible way he can get me to go and to be honest I am mystified as to why he waited nearly 8 months before he even broached his involvement with me. I think that perhaps he knew all along I would disapprove of it from the get go. I grew up in clearwater florida, scientologists all over the place no chance of me getting sucked into a cult. I

This is all so amazing. An ex bf of mine contacted me in January 2010, I was glad to hear from him we went out to eat and I instantly was thinking what is wrong with him.. He seemed so distant and non talkative, I was even wondering why he bothered to contact me as he didn't seem to have too much to say other than to ask me what had happened to our relationship, what he had done etc to the
