Doing Landmark Forums and advanced courses has fallout. Members change their lives dramatically, often destructively to those close to them.
Weber says everything is peeled away until there is nothing. Therefore there is no truth but only multiple interpretations, an infinite array of possibilities. Life can be constructed anew. History is bunk.
If this is so and you don't like something, get rid of it. We know anecdotally that members have divorced, quit jobs, left families, and more after doing Landmark courses. They are on a high where anything is possible. We also know that oftentimes they come down and wonder what the hell they've done with their lives.
They've been brainwashed. And they are left bereft.
I have an interest because my wife decided that her possibility was to divorce me because she had not been honest with me in our relationship. I have to live with aftershock. I still am.

An academic study (ironically commissioned by Werner Erhard and Associates for $88,000) concluded that participants in "The Forum" felt short term increases in ego, but there were no significant long-term positive lasting effects. So your post about the short feeling of a "high" is probably pretty accurate in that regard. The psychology study was published in a book: Evaluating a Large Group Awareness Training. -- GuruTruth
I am looking at your site for the same reason. Firstly, let me say my condolences for your loss. I recently lost a girlfriend I really cared about to landmark, and I am accepting the mission to go after them to the death. (sounds extreme, but I'm a scorpio, we don't do subtle) I will do all that I am able to do to warn friends and family, and help bring down this monstrosity they've constructed to suck in our loved ones. Your cause is my own, best of luck to us both.
