TL;DR: If a friend or loved one invites you to a graduation ceremony at PSI Seminars (or other LGAT), you may want to decline. It's a carefully staged hour-long session based on artificial shame, guilt, and commitment. PSI's aim is for you to make a substantial financial and time obligation based only on the emotions they want you to feel, without critical assessment. Details: I atte

Since then, I've researched the groups and their techniques and I've developed a fascination with how the process works. I fe

I'm currently working on a video about LGATs, and while I can find reasonable detail about the content of Lifespring-related groups and Landmark class content, I'm having trouble finding anything about the original Mind Dynamics classes. Leadership Dynamics are described in "The Pit", but from what I understand, Mind Dynamics was softer and even dipped its toes into some ne
