I keep thinking about the course I took in my life and how I destroyed my relationships with family and friends and wonder if anyone really created something better by taking this crap. I know some people are claiming they have found what they are looking for; but those are the ones who are still involved in PSI and can't see passed their collective noses.

Steve, I remember someone named Paul infiltrating one of the PSI yahoo groups and claiming his wife committed suicide after her return from PSI7. This went thru the groups like wildfire. Everyone said “No one would ever commit suicide after attending PSI.” The PSI office issued a statement that this was a hoax; that this man blamed PSI because his wife left him. Now I’m not so sure.
