It appears all but one of her/his/their posts have been deleted from the Yahoo FFL archive. There's another, independent archive of FFL posts if you ever need to track down one you can't find here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ <snip> > You see Werner employs a totalitarian metaphysical > technique (est, The Forum, now Landmark Education), which > dislocates the person's real personality such that the > Landmark graduate IS UNABLE TO REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKE > TO BE WHO THEY WERE BEFORE THE TRAINING. I have to put in my two cents here. I never took est, but my best friend did. We've been close since college (class of '63), so I'm pretty well attuned to her personality. She talked about est nonstop for a few weeks and appeared to have found it helpful and enjoyable, but she eventually wound down. I never detected even the slightest difference in her; she was the same person she'd always been, same positives, same negatives.
