Hi Vic-Luc, I remember the first "graduation" / (sales-pitch) session I went to was on the hottest day in the summer; the Lobby of the hotel was air-conditioned and for the first 15 minutes of the meeting the meeting room was fine, but then it started to heat up. When I left the meeting room to get myself a cup of coffee, everywhere else in the hotel was fine, and as soon as

Informed decision is a beautiful thing. hi corboy, the whole point is about power and control; and the LGATs know, and we know, that most people would not attend the course if they knew that they would be MANIPULATED into dis-robing.

Hi Zorro, It IS interesting how the mind works. I remember when I was attending one of the "new age flakey type courses", I would be walking downtown at 7:00 a.m. surrounded by cement buildings, not a garden in sight, but I could smell the strong aroma of roses. I have since discovered that the smell of roses is associated with love/compassion. I also think that I am h

hi Zorro, You are probably right; part of the insistence of having everything uniform all the time IS probably a way the Leaders keep CONTROL of the volunteers. But I also wonder how much is also part of a pathology in the psychy of the Leaders. Perhaps they have become unwitting victims of their own "technology" -- a case of the blind leading the blind, eh?

I read Dr. Roxanne Mountford's essay on Landmark; "Invisible Bodies, the Disinherited, and the Production of Space in the Landmark Forum, which is quite long, but deals how managing the space of the room is actually very integral to part of the "indoctrination"... it is very purposeful, and in fact the "volunteers" have to use tape measures and

I think anyone and everyone could be at risk. The sleep deprivation combined with the primal/hypno therapy may send even the most stable person over the edge. Perhaps people with a pre-disposition towards schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder or any other mental disorder will be affected more quickly or more adversely, but I don't think one can say that they are the only people who can be dista
