Day 3, Friday, about his spontaneous and red-black At about 16:00 the doors to the room open with the now famous "Sprach" -ritueel. The question-answer game between trainer and group on the objectives of the Essence organization and purpose of the exercise follows. Further, there are shared successes. Then the "conflict chart" treated by the trainer. That there and close

Day 2, Thursday, the day of the grungies Around 17:00 start training with 'Sprach' and the corresponding entry ritual (hands up etc.). The trainees sit together in their TC groups. There then follows a question and answer games. Who knows still remember the best thing was the motto of the organization and what the purpose of the training is. So the trainer asks the questions, and the

For those who will at some point be researching Sagiv's enterprise... Here is a description of Essence training from a Dutch website, from 2009. It is Google translated (but understandable), and quite a lot of text, I hope this is OK. Humanication Holding did sue this website, and lost in a Dutch court.

OMG, this is hilarious! The first three spreads are so preposterous I was laughing like crazy, but then the fascinating thing begins... The deception is so subtle, I had no idea they were THAT good

Wow, I should read up on that... I came across something once, fact or fiction, about how Scientology was once deemed very interesting by the military intelligence department, because of their own research into mind control and telepathy and what not. Here is where my Israeli connection comes in, too, I think this type of mind games attracts the curiosity of those who have "worked" wit

The "Golden Book" and the plantation of trees is a misinterpretation of the truth... I am guessing he had trees planted in his name, which you can pay for to the Jewish National Fund. "An entry in the Golden Book is a mark of esteem and gratitude to the donors who with their contribution, enable a variety of projects to be carried out." It's about money.

The 2011 report is available here in PDF version: Report It has been criticised in the academia and some of the press for being too harsh and promoting the Orthodox agenda (I would compare the Israeli attitude somehwat to that of the Russian church and government use of the word "cult" - in the sense that it is a less liberal, spiritual lasseiz-faire, view). But in any case, informa

Thank you! I'm terrified this will end in a ruined life... This Humanication thing is actually considered a cult by the Israeli Ministry of Welfare and Social Services. :(

In some bizarre twist, which reminds me of a Greek tragedy where you can't escape your fate, I just learned that my former roommate in Israel attended two of Humanication seminars. When my friend asked me if I had heard of these seminars, I didn't even think to ask her, although I was in Israel at the time. She said it was good, but not for everyone. When I pressed for more, she conf

I have a dear friend whom I think I lost to the Israeli version of LGAT. The trainings are organized by Humanication Holding run by Yiftach Sagiv. The company operates in Israel and Holland: (http://www.essence-trainings.com) I understand Sagiv was a student of Pat Grove. I'm just researching this now after I've had some very disturbing conversations with my friend, and I am in a

Well, they definitely follow the same time schedule for the courses, AND there is a secrecy agreement. Based on what I've been reading here, this sounds very much like it, and the results may be devastating... I'll start a new thread... I've never even heard of such thing, and no one I know except this one person went to those seminars. I don't understand how could this nig

I am reading this in utter horror, because I think the same happened to me, losing my friend to one of the LGATs... In my case it's an Israeli version, Humanication. Does anyone know anything about it? Apparently, they teach them how to see auras, as well? Did some other training involve this? Anyway, it's a very recent thing, and I am completely devastated. We had all those spiritua
