I attended the Landmark Forum for all 36 hours of this weekend, and am still reeling from the experience. Wow, is all I can say.Google Landmark and you'll find endless pages of skepticism and cult accusers. But that's not what this is at all. I'm gonna write a massive blog post about it ASAP (I have 11 pages of notes), but the fundamental truths Landmark teaches you are the following:Life is empty and meaningless. You don't experience what happened, only your meaning-making story of what happened.Therefore, any possibility is possible if you truly commit to it, and separate the story from the truth, and your past from the present.And that's what the Forum does - separate you from your stories. The concrete outcome from that is you calling the most important people in your life and ridding your stories from the relationship, and inviting them into the future possibility you'd like to create. Which is just about the highest possible lever for life satisfaction, when you think about it.That's why everyone thinks its a scam - everyone calls all their friends and tries to get them to do it too as soon as they finish. But it's not to sell - it's to enroll them in the powerful new possibility they just created for themselves! It's hard to do that to someone set in their ways - so the easiest thing to do is have them experience it firsthand, too. That's what I'm doing with my dad, with whom I experienced an incredible breakthrough on Saturday that had me bawling body-wrenching tears for a half hour straight, and telling him I loved him for the first time in a long while. We'll see if he responds to my invitation for Tuesday...
