THINK ABOUT IT
The Landmark Forum
Why not?
Before I start to expand on the matter, I�d just like to say I do not intend to slander any of these companies (they�d like to be called institutes, perhaps). I don�t think the Landmark Forum is a cult or a religion, although there are some common features. I don�t think they actually intend harm. But they certainly don�t do it just (if at all) for the benefit of mankind. They are a slick business which thrives on a lot of people who come to try. Some of them stay and pay for more. I am also not writing all of this to make the people who attended it regret. I believe one should consider such a so-called "opportunity in life" as a business proposition with some benefits perhaps, but with some risks as well.
Well, why not? I�ll tell you why. Because you�ve been persuaded to actually buy something you know nothing about! This is not some laundry powder you�ve never heard of. This is your life being dealt with, and you mind. If the powder fails, the stains won�t come off. Get yourself another detergent. If tempering with your personal life fails, then what? Basically notice one thing. Of what I�ve told you so far, nothing at all describes the nature of the product you�re supposed to purchase. This is very important, as many other factors one must notice when dealing with such things. Obscurity and vagueness are key words needed to get you inside. A lot of the times they will, since it is very human to be curious and inquisitive.
Let�s strip the veil off things and call the child by name: LGAT (Large Group Awareness Training). It may be the "Landmark Forum" (formerly know as EST), which I�ll discuss here, or something similar.
