Hi kdag, You are exactly right a boss, colleague, friend, lover, spouse, sibling or parent wouldn’t recruit a loved one into something so insidious, but a brainwashed indoctrinated person - believing they are changing the world would. It is very sad for all involved really. I sincerely hope in time the numbness subsides.

That is interesting. I can certainly vouch for the hypersexuality, no fear not risk moderation. The person I know has become rather predatory and does not seem to think there is anything wrong with his actions.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

It is all so disturbing. My ex lost it at me when I asked a very simple benign question. His response and reaction was irrational and excessive. Yet interestingly, two months later after we had seperated and I eventually saw him he remained extremely cool, calm and collected and sat there with his eyes to the ground barely responding. The hijsck changed everything.

Oh my gosh!!! This is exactly what happened to my ex. I witnessed the entire thing when he came home after one of the courses - the advanced one I think. Honestly he and Meatloaf could have been interchangeable...
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Yes it is very sad and you are right. The fact that he is live bombing my friends is a little disturbing!!

Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Kdag Wow that behaviour is appalling. What an awful experience for you. These people surely can’t feel good about themselves. I could never imagine treating anyone like that. Their actions were clear abuse. Gosh, I am sorry. I can still see the look on his face and the callousness as he walked passed so clearly. If I turn my mind to it I can see flashbacks like it’s occurring again but I
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Oh it wasn’t fun. Thanks for asking. He literally Was able to act like he didn’t know me. There was no acknowledgment on his face at all just very very cold and he put his head down so we had no eye contact. I may have had a rather big cry once I got home. I think it was Anthony Kidman - Nicole’s dad, who said of her split from Tom “it’s not what it should be, it’s not what it could be; it i
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

I literally just ran into him. He put his head down and pretended he didn’t know meX I had to move tjbygd left of the sidewalk to let him and his children passed me. His sin grabbed my hand to say hello but he could t stop. So heart breaking. I guess I have well and truly been made complete.

So manipulative and frankly, quite sick.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

I’m guessing it’s not a subjective exercise! From my understanding you can’t question the forum leader so what ever they say goes anyhow even if it didn’t make sense to you. I guess that is how they dull a persons critical thinking and rational decision making skills in the process.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Thanks Corboy. Not one of those responses you could deem as irrational or non sensicle - as opposed to a Landmarkarian who can’t even give you a rational logical response. I think initially they may act on impulse then to remain “in integrity” follow through. Regardless, no one wants to be in a relationship with someone active in Landmark. It’s crazy making.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Thanks kdag, yes it is exactly what he is doing and I am finding it repulsive. I think your idea of just a benign post is a good one. That article is rather spot on. It is quite exhausting watching it all unfold aftually. I have seen some photos of him recently and it it like watching a train wreck unfold. It is quite sad. He looks predetory and as if he is searching for something. He may
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

And yes kdag, the same thing happened to me with my ex husband. He is a classic type A, narcissist. I think that most definitely contributed to the impact all of this had on me. Some people are born nasty and there are affected either by life events or dangerous self help groups etc
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Yes I think they are well across it. I’m just going to sit back and see what plays out. He seems to be making a bit of a fool of himself on fb and only those working in the same company seem to be paying attention. Hopefully it stays that way.

This is my draft I was thinking remembering these people have no idea what they are dealing with....anyhow just a thought.(and sorry about long post!) Hi there, what I am about to say will sound completely bonkers but please just hear me out. Ok as you can imagine I’ve possibly obtained enough research to write a thesis on landmark over the last six months. As I said, if this wasn’t importa

Yes their methodologies are highly questionable and destructive.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Freda_last I agree with everything you have said. I would try to explain to my ex how I felt about the intimacy encouraged with his fellow participants who also happen to be people he works with. I didn’t think it was healthy for our relationship that he would talk to them about his inner most thoughts and feelings but stopped talking to me about them. His attitude now does seem to be that
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Gosh, if it is taking me this long to decipher and rebuild - it just proves how insidious Landmark is. I was the collateral damage and I didn’t even partake. Huge kudos to those within Landmark who are to break free and begin to recover.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Thank you, that actually makes much more sense to me. It explains how I was exactly treated. As an object/problem to be solved. He has no empathy, compassion or the ability to communicate effectively. He is robotic in his actions and extremely self serving needing the accolades and validations of a rock star. Thank you both. That really really helped.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Thanks Corbin and kdag. Kdag your chocolate and vanilla scenario seems to be what happened to me, but in my case he did not chose me. As you know, no explanation was given for his choice. Not giving people content is extremely destructive. The smiling through dissatisfaction that you alluded to earlier is interesting as well. Actually the entire chocolate/vanilla exercise is not cond
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Kdag in a seperate note, why do Landmark participants seem to have a perpetual state of happiness faciam expressions? It seems a little disconcerting. Or am I being pessimistic and they truly believe they are that happy?
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Thanks kdag for adding context to my post. I forgot it wasn’t following my previous one. Both those articles are very spot on. And yes, if a fellow participant in Landmark is also a work subordinate the relationship is extremely unethical and dangerous for all involved.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Again, I agree completely with kdag. After my ex attended Landmark our sexual relationship changed significantly. Sex seemed to become almost mechanical and/or animalistic as opposed to intimate from a loving base. Since our seperation only 2.5 months ago I know he has slept with fellow Landmark participants who also happen to be his subordinates at work. It is very very wrong.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Yes, and no way man!! Haha Thanks for your insight though. I did think it was the case. At least he hasn’t attempted contact with me. I truly don’t think he will. He can swipe right all he likes..... ;) It’s still all very hard but getting there slowly.
