I guess I won't say that The Mankind project doesn't work for anyone. I'm sure there are plenty of men who find value in it. I'm just saying that those who do are hopelessly gullible suckers. I went to the training 12 years ago at my wife's insistence. Her new age hypnosis therapist suggested it to her when I was out of work and feeling down about failing in my role as t

Quotej845and now you really got me thinking...this forum..your's is wonderful...and really it's MKP light. we talk about things..we say what we feel with minimal fear of reprisal...seriously rr...imagine doing that in real life with all these people, just sitting around and talking the same way...wouldn't you feel good? I know I feel good when i can see who the hell is talking to

Wow. I stumbled across my bookmark to this forum that I have not seen in a year. I can't believe these charlatans are still fooling people. If anyone approaches you to go.....don't go. Its not on the level. It is utter foolishness and if something really bad happens at one of these "weekends" its not going to be something you ever want to have your name associated with.

Well, I was just really confounded by the fact that my counselor didn'ttell me what he was getting me into at all. I trusted him and he put me in a situation where I felt very physically and mentally uncomfortable, with no simple way to get out without setting off more discomfort and confrontation. That was not cool. Then, after a weekend of abuse and manipulation, they try to tell me it

Perhaps you are right, but I don't see how a good, healthy relationship with any person or institution can be built on lies, half truths and manipulation of emotional and physical well being. I find it interesting that although I got to know some of the initiates, I cannot tell you the first bit of information regarding my "brothers" lives or personalties and they never asked a

MKP hides behind the secrecy of tribal initation rituals, to try to keep what they do secret. Stripping people bare physically, is a common technique used in these wilderness LGAT's as part of the process of breaking people down. I don't doubt this is the main purpose, but when people drive from miles around to watch and participate so enthusiastically in the "midnight advent

Another observation: This "training" had a strange propensity to repeat some of the "processes". When time is short, that cannot be an accident. The first night they lined us up and blindfolded us and made us hold hands to march into the big lodge to come face the members. They did the exact same thing the next night.....except this time they had us take off our clothes

If anyone thinks Seeking Truth's account is the least bit exaggerated, I am here to tell you that I swear before God and all I consider holy that what happened to me is not just "alot" like his account.....it was damn near EXACTLY like this. The only difference is that we didn't have anyone go completely bonkers. We did have a few guys really start wailing like wounded animal

Regarding the money: Apparently the MKP leaders don't experience any cognitive dissonance over the fact that while the Indians from whom they draw their "sacred" MKP rituals felt that no man was entitled to sell the vast land underneath them that belonged to God, The Mankind Project is perfectly justified to charge $600 smackers for a BAG OF GRANOLA and somemagic beans the call
