QuoteMadshusexImpact...Do you know of any parallels between the upper level Impact Training courses and the upper level Landmark courses? I was wondering if they start to take different directions at the upper levels, or if they remain pretty similiar in basis of the 'teachings' for each.Oops, I didn't see this post Mad. :D I have no idea what the higher level Landmark trainings a

This training can permenantly damage them. Do the right thing and alienate yourself, tell them to NEVER GO BACK, point them to these forums and others, do what you can.The harsh truth is, your relationships with them are worth risking, because when its all said and done, these people very likely won't be the same people they were before they went in.

This is similar to the same process the Impact Trainings in Bluffdale, Utah uses on the Friday of its Quest training, although there its called the "Mom and Pop" process. The night before they go through this, they go through a process called "Feedback Arcs", where trainees/staff/facilitators take turns being "honest" to the trainees, meaning each individual has to e

This is also referenced on the Rick Ross site: I don't think this is deception. The LDS church routinely releases the original statement, with a few tweaks here and there, every year or so. It's always a storm in the training room when it happens, let me assure you. Those rebellious Mormons! :D I'm sure it’s just to keep awareness up. It is their current stance on the traini

QuoteMadshusexImpact...Do you know of any Impact grads who readily convey or express that Impact is such a great influence in their lives? Even among the die-hards, Impact still seems like a hush-hush topic, and not readily mentioned as something to be proud of... For comparison, it's not uncommon to hear someone mention where they graduated from college, memberships in associations in the

I need to make a correction, Hans Berger was not a Landmark graduate, but a Lifespring graduate. It ends up being amounting to the same thing.

Quotedrivingthecar I want to remind folks here that not everyone here is a Christian. Yes, criticize these groups for using manipulative mind control techniques.

I have been reading the many topics and replies associated with Landmark and was blown away by how exactly the experiences expressed in them are precisely analogous with experiences dissenting graduates of Impact could express. It shouldn't have surprised me, being they are nearly identical programs and Hans Berger is a Landmark graduate, but it did. If you want to know more about how Impact

QuotematausiFrom my first day of Impact, "Quest", I noticed many staff members wearing crystal necklaces. Does the "power" of the crystal and the "power" of mother earth become a topic of doctrine in the T.I.T trainings? The crystals the TIT 3 staffmembers wear? Oh, you mean Impact's version of the LDS sacred garments? Why yes Matausi, yes it does. However

QuotematausiexImpact, I have two weekends left until my Lift Off "graduation" and have always been concerned as to the direction that Impact seems to take its "family."

Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Addressing the question of whether the Impact Trainings are, in FACT, a religion or not is one of my greatest concerns. In the Quest-Summit-Lift Off levels, it is only apparent in that the trainings address only the human "spirit" or the eternal part of man. This is reinforced primarily by conditioning the trainees into believing that the cause of all dysfunction and pain in this life i

On a lighter note, I am going to write a testimonial too! Here goes: My life was a horrible place to be, because the world (and I) sucked.

I apologize Madshus, you are absolutely right and justified in wanting to verify if my mind is actually MY mind now. This training can screw you for life, whether you are in TIT or left only after Summit. When I first started un-conditioning myself, I had to focus and say words they won't let you say, such as "help" or "try" and more. They initially begin their mental con
