This deserves its own thread.

One wonders if the "coach's" first obligation is to the "client" or to
Landmark. And how do they come to terms with that conflict in their
own mind.

Wat do they charge for this "service," Bruno?

Ackkkk!!!

They're reverting to their roots. Scientological roots, that is.
Someone went back to ~Source.~ They realized there was lots of money
left in the wallets of their dupes so, rather that a one-time,
quickie, week-end ~enlightenment~ course, they should be offering
ongoing "auditing" (just re-name it "coaching" and hope no one catches
on). Rather than a onetime fee, they could tap into the "revolving"
fee thingie and get people on the treadmill, just the way ol' ElRon
envisioned it. Lots and lots of people are willing to pay to keep
their Landmark going. Some scientologists have paid for a lifetime.

One wonders if they'll bring back the E-meter. (Or some Landmark-
branded facsimile.)

Hey Bruno,

Do they still call their hogwash (brainwashing) ~technology?~

You liked the coaching bit . Yes!!!!!
I bet you would like to try some but you just can't get yourself to
accept it may
work for you. The genteel baroness is probably frothing at the mouth
in excitement also.

Caligari told you what they charge for the service. I think its a bit
steep but just like any
product , the market will sort it out whether it survives or not.

I don't know whether the coach would be having any conflict, he or she
most probably
believes that the service they are providing works.
Caligari may better answer that question because he was in the inner
sanctum of the
organisation and most probably knew the coaches at a more personal
level.

However I think coaching in any situation is beneficial as it helps to
direct you to your
blind spots that you are not aware of. This information could be
valuable if you decide
to use it.

In a way we are all coaches here in this newsgroup, some better than
others. Lots of
anguish though which I find not very helpful.

But yes Ellen you and Baroness Nordstrup are coaches. The inspiring
Patty in the corner
with his arms out ooozing love to all in the group is our resident
spiritual Coach.

Rick Ross is also a coach only he charges exorbitant fees to do his
type of Coaching.

Is his coaching obligation to the client or is it to the so called
Institute on the Net?????

Why don't you ask him, he is a pal of yours?????

Are you coming to the Party with Ben and the gang???????
Maybe we could discuss it over a few drinks??

It appears that the critics in alt.fan.landmark have some $ issues. It
is ok to spend $2,000,000 on a luxury yacht, or $75,000 on lap dances
or $15,000 on some high end home entertainment centre but not on
training and development or education of any kind. The locals want to
dictate what choices people can make for themselves and vilify the
choices 2 or 3 internet individuals do not approve of.

How should people freely choose for themselves to invest and spend
their $? Must they consult Rick Ross and his devotees first? Please
advise the world so they can no what the right choices are please.
Thank-you.

You wish. It's actually thousands.

I would start with something legitimate. Perhaps, in your case,
remedial reading, English and a second language, or "Bonehead." Maybe
Philosophy 101 at some community college.

If you wanted something in the same realm as the one Landmark pretends
to offer, some basic counselling from a licensed, educated
professional if you think of yourself as "troubled," or "stuck." Or
Psychology 101 at the same community college. Perhaps a comparative
religion course for beginners would suffice. Then, maybe, a sales
training course like Dale Carnegie. For communication (public
speaking), Toastmasters offers a terrific program for a few dollars
without the hidden "agenda." You could always go back and read
"Think and Grow Rich," "Psychocybernetics," and "This is Scientology,"
if you wanted to deconstruct Landmark and discover for yourself the
roots of Werner Erhard's est. Oh, and Mind Dynamics and its
derivations, of course. (Hint, hint: pyramid scheme)

For the ~wisdom~ and ~special powers~ seekers, I'd recommend reading
Carlos Casteneda's books and then the "deconstruction" of his "outing"
as a charlatan.

Thats just you saying that because you are modest.
I know you love frothing at the mouth when these matters are raised
and so I urge you to take a bite.
It won't harm you and you may find out that you actually enjoy it.

Does that really matter. We can all resort to bartering if need be.
The technology and the products won't disappear.

No it's not.

It's more like the "Free Personality Test" that scientologists offer
on street corners that, of course, indicate you are in dire need of
scientology ~technology~ to fix the many aberrations they "discover."
And even more elite than "the Harvard Study," L. Ron used "the Oxford
Capacity Analysis" to recruit the gullible.

You know this is the first "cull." Don't pretend not to. The
doubtful, skeptical, cynical, or merely curious will be eliminated
early on. This serves to preserve resources and concentrate the
cult's focus on those more easily influenced.

That "more like" is only in your world Ellen. Everything you write is
about yourself.



>And even more elite than "the Harvard Study," L. Ron used "the Oxford Capacity Analysis" to recruit the gullible.

Only in your world Ellen. You position yourself as superior to other
people and call millions of people "gullible" as if that carries any
weight with anyone besides you and a few other Rick Ross devotees.


> You know this is the first "cull."

You know this because it is part of your world view Ellen. You and a
handful or Rick Ross devotees are alone in that view.



> Don't pretend not to.  The doubtful, skeptical, cynical, or merely curious will be eliminated early on.  This serves to preserve resources and concentrate the cult's focus on those more easily influenced.

Clearly you view yourself as being superior and not gullible and
better than the millions of people you dismiss as dupes.

"work"? I am not educated on all of yours and Rick's pet "cults"

people in landmark are getting their minds trained to be and do
what landmark wants.

its so mainstream that people are willigly or so it seems giving
their money to a for profit organization to get their thoughts
rearanged.

people should never ever pay to have themselves ade to feel better
from a for profit organization.

i know u u dont see it but that is dangerous no matter what group
u do it with.

u dont know the right choices, if u knew the right choices u wouldnt
be here doing that.

if a landmark grad was to run for public office, would u automatically
support them ? if u do the u live paralelling the way the right

Why do you suspect direction to blind spots in any situation might

Before Rick Ross existed, no "first culls" operated in rosenbergist
practice ?

What in the quoted text clearly demonstrates Ellen's view of herself?

Perhaps in regards to who you really are.

Whether you Baroness have any experience
or first hand knowledge about Landmark is also debatable.

Really.
May I ask for more clarification how you come to that viewpoint???

Because I know Muses are a capricious lot and with the aristocratic
image you have to uphold
and your genteel preference to playing to the crowd, namely Patty and
the passionate Ellen.
I thought a choice for you would have been lets say democratic??

Ah that' s where we can rely on Patty for his interpretation of what
the Bible
really says.

Sleep well my fair Baroness

So why did you post your gem to someone else, Bruno?

I find the implication that something ~is~ really me weird if not
offensive.

Take a step backwards. How do you know that I "love frothing at the
mouth"?

... and not worth debating, because of its irrelevance to discussions
on alt.fan.landmark

No. Many bodies have rules for declaring/avoiding conflict of
interest. Think lawyers. Think pharmaceutical researchers...

Distractions can militate against single-mindedness.

You wrote the phrases "direction to blind spots" and "in any
situation" yourself. What needs clarification to you?

You didn't write the "if you decide to use it" tag to me. Your
explanation doesn't hold water.
