A spoof of the cult-like "Landmark Forum". Here's Landmark Forum for Cats!

Many have heard of "Landmark Forum". In this video, Bradbavarde spoofs Landmark, creating a fictitional course for cats!

Landmark, formerly known as EST, is another "self improvement" scam, not unlike Scientology , which it is an offshoot of.

In this video, GuruTruth spoofs this "Large Group Awareness Training" bunk, and demonstrates it to his cat.

"When I asked Werner to sum up the differences between est and Scientology, he reflected for a moment. '...The essential difference between est and Scientology is two-fold. The first has to do with Scientologys emphasis on survival and its idea that the purpose of life is survival. est sees the purpose of life as wholeness or completion truth not survival.."

The fruit never falls far from a rotten tree.

Dude ... what in the world are you using your time for? ... I like good debates but there is nothing to say other than ... what are you doing? You are on YouTube talking like a crazy person to a cat ...

@brurgito I'm just mirroring the video. If you research The Landmark Forum, this is exactly the kind of stuff they would have you do when you pay them for "training". Smacks a lot of $cientology.

you are the only Landmark hater on all of you tube that seems to have even a spark of joy or original intelligence. so I salute you, for that spark. and I love Landmark just for the record. Hope you find something that really lights your fire.

@Sophios Thank you. I wish I could take the creative credit but this funny video was created by Brad Bavarde . I found it humorous and often serious topics sometimes need a bit of tomfoolery to relieve the stress of serious discourse.

I'm glad you found the Landmark Forum useful, and cannot argue with that. I am still skeptical of their methods and claims, but am willing to learn more.

@Sophios Oh, and I'm not a hater. Just a skeptic.

Whats the connection between landmark and scientology? A friend of a friend is going to landmark and being able to prove a connection between the two may be of use to us.

@Fernt The Church of Scientology included "ERHARD, WERNER", "EST (ERHARD SEMINAR TRAINING)", a series of est offices, "FORUM, THE" and "WERNER ERHART AND ASSOCIATES" on (for example) a 1992 edition of its list of "Suppressive Persons and Groups".

Snider described Erhard's classification as a "Suppressive Person" as part of a Scientological "Fair Game" policy against him, which she referred to as "a sort of Scientologic fatwah"

Do a LOT more research and confront your bro with what you find...

@NomenNescioNY These Landmark morons are about taking your money, and nothing else. Psycho-babble boneheads that lure in "fools" and separate them from their money.

@NomenNescioNY I appreciate it.

@Fernt How does all this tie into Landmark? "In 1991 the group that would shortly form Landmark Education purchased the intellectual property of Werner Erhard. In 1998, Time Magazine published an article about Landmark Education and its historical connection to Werner Erhard and Scientology. The article stated that: "In 1991, before he left the U.S., Erhard sold the 'technology' behind his seminars to his employees, who formed a new company called the Landmark Education Corp -cont-
