Intention, Purpose, Actualization, Transformation. His influence lives for those of us whose lives he has touched. I am forever grateful. He puts himself out there for us all. Thanks Werner. Good seeing and hearing from you again.

@ritter89 C'mon man. This is what he does. He doesn't think any of what he is saying is "cutting edge" or "science". He is just talking, man. This guy has impacted lives by doing the thing he does: talking with an intention. It's the Theater of the REAL, and it helps. Just hush.

@jgwphilly1969 from my experience, I would say that people have a tendency to accept, validate and cheer "anecdotal" evidence when it agrees with their point of view and confirms something they are for, and less so when it does not. If you loved something, "anecdotal" would be all you would need. Pretty much the same way people advocate for democracy or a democratic process as long as it steers things in their favour, and much less so when it does not promote their personal needs or survival

@jgwphilly1969 often, life does not provide a person with a shred of evidence nor any empirical research to explain or validate the value of something in our lives but it is still a welcomed and appreciated, and for that person, quiet valid.

Who are the people who sit around pining for and demanding evidence or scientific research demonstrating anything in every day life? Ok so now you have a paper that says x.

I trust myself and do not require an outside study to tell me what is what.

@jgwphilly1969  - it has worked in my life... for over 26 years..

[jgwphilly1969]

is there a shred of evidence any empirical research anywhere which demonstrates that est, or Landmark Education in any way work? Beyond anecdotes?

Very interesting...Alignment with Eli Goldratt's Theory of Constraints is strong ...

This is great. It's all made up. The conversations about Government and etc....When we challange our "Belief System."  Everyone get's upset. Why? Because we question the "Hidden Agenda." Believer there is one. Look and Listen. What do you hear? Do you believe it, and why?

@captainbuttsable, one of the most fundimental things in the Landmark Ed courses is "do NOT believe what we're telling you, we've made it all up". Really. It's not to be taken as "truth" or "right" (or "wrong" for that matter). It is, in general, presented as a way of looking at the world; a point of view for you (for for me) to check out or "try on". Always free to toss it out if it doesn't empower you or give you any access to what you're dealing with or what's really important to you.

I did est/forum in 1983 it made diffence in my life and help hope meet others!

@captainbuttsable And anything using a phenomenological methodology that demands ones own awareness of life as it is actually lived is not only not based on trust, it is the antithesis of trust. You have it backwards my good captain. Go read what is being presented at SSRN, or spend the time to actually watch this video.
