QuotevlindenFor me, one of the greatest "breakthroughs" of my life was when, sitting by a lake and watching a flock of birds wheeling in perfect formation through the sky, I realized that nature has its own intelligence, and humans have NOTHING to do with creating it. I was at the time involved in a great internal struggle about religion, and suddenly it all dropped away as I saw that l

Interesting discussion. I'm not playing devils advocate. But even if you have "adventures" and have been unsheltered as you were growing up and are in touch with the world around you. That doesn't neccesarily keep you from falling victim Landmark. I grew up in the country, the nearest small town was 15 miles away by the highway. I was able to travel over the country side fr

Vlinden, I am very lucky as well to have her in my life. If it hadn't been for her I might still be in Landmark. Landmark has a way of taking all sensabilities from a person. Some people are affected differently than others. I too didn't listen. But not just to my girl friend but to another woman that was in my life before my girl friend. The woman had warned me and told me they w

She's not much on discussing Landmark and hates it when I mention it too her. She wants me to just forget about it, however that isn't possible. She's really hard core when it comes to manipulative people and groups. She's no holds barred and doesn't mind getting even. Basically her approach to making me realize I was getting screwed by Landmark was to call me out on a

Thanks Ellen for finding and posting the article. I'll dissect what I see as "Landmark's influences", as they are encountered when reading the article from the beginning. 1.

While in a waiting room today I was bored and picked up an old Marie Claire magazine from 2006 to read. While thumbing through it I found an article about the Darren Mack murder case, "Murder in Reno". It is written by a local journalist from Reno who was familiar with Darren Mack and his wife. Not surprisingly I found a reference to both of their involvement in Landmark Education. A

As far as a time frame to realize what was going on and get out. It took me several months of

I figured they were using hypnosis after I left Landmark and especially after reading about the stuff in Louis Samway's book. It was only this morning that I was able to identify the exact method and mechanism. One thing for sure it will be hard as hell to unwittingly hypnotise me using those particular techniques again. Plus now that I know how they work I can now interrupt the process.
