QuoteHopeful Soul"There is no hope." This is an axiom of at least Quest. It ranks with "Understand" being the booby prize of the universe, quoting Werner Erhard of course.

QuoteMadshusI'm curious - is there something specifically taught in Impact Trainings that downplays hope? If so, how is explained, conveyed, etc? Semantics. As formerimpG stated, in Quest, the trainer will cue up a lecture that illustrates that no one in the training room has what they are hoping for in life, so hope doesn’t get you what you want, but it is also another way they coach lang

QuoteseawanThe Secret makes use of some "ancient" theories and although it far from "accurate", but I see the "positive" side of it. But, logic is built upon a premise and conclusion format.

QuoteexImpact...As always, you ruthlessly go for the tender bits of the problem and, as always, it’s a fun read. I did not mean the term "fun" to make light of the serious trauma you have witnessed, but rather to your brutal sticking of your thumb into the Impact eye. I apologize if it was inappropriate.

Hey, vent away, god knows I do. The nice thing is that you don't have to be careful about what you say on these boards (as long as you follow the guidelines).

Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Impact carbon copies it to a tee. Every time someone has an issue with the trainers, they always feed the trainee the disclaimer that they always "take a look" as to how they have co-created the problem (giving the appearance that they are following their own rules to uphold consistency), but in the end the buck is always passed to the trainee, no matter at what level. If it wasn't

Most LGATs are of a similar format, but staffing is working for the LGAT for free, doing the busywork so the training can go smoothly. This allows the LGAT to keep more of the money while further entrenching the loyal and dutiful staffer, inducting them into being the brainwasher while remaining the brainwashee. Out of curiosity, what training are they involved with?

Forum: Destructive Churches

This thread stroke a chord with me. I was LDS until I joined a cult that is organized by, and whose members are in the large majority, Mormon. Hans Berger of the Impact Trainings in Bluffdale gives mormons the charismatic, prophet-leader they hunger for, and it is my thought that the LDS pre-disposition and pre-conditioning for cultish behavior is what makes them such easy rubes for recruitment.
