Wow. So if I spent $400 to go to a Landmark forum, I can become enlightened? Could you give me some more meaningless, logically void circular reasoning to entice me to become enlightened?

Or would asking for some kind of description of 'enlightenment' before throwing down money be too weird a concept for ya?

Well, you know what they say about New Age enlightened beings...

Interesting.....

http://people.tribe.net/tribe/servlet/mayavin

and....

Mayavi-rupa (Sanskrit) [from mayavin illusory from maya illusion + rupa form] Illusory body or thought-body, a higher astral-mental form. The projection of thought-consciousness-will power to any distant place while the physical body is left "entranced." It is the whole man except the sthula-sarira (physical body), the linga-sarira (the astral or model-body) and prana. This projection can assume any form at the will of the adept. This body is called illusory because when it has accomplished its purpose, it is withdrawn and thus disappears. Synonymous with protean soul, the medieval German doppelganger, and the Tibetan hpho-wa.

Not to be rude but the objectives of a sock puppet are pretty much one and the same without resorting to using all the mystical mumbo-jumbo to cover one's ass. In any event if you are one of these "Maya" types making statements like this.....

you need to go back and brush up on what it's all about. You've seriously missed something.

Dude, you're seriously funny.

Non-landmark people simply call you another useless hippy. Unfortunately, you think you're Yoda too. Simply professing that you have secret knowledge that makes you a 'superior being' doesn't mean you actually possess said knowledge.

All I'm asking is some form of proof that vindicates the Landmark forums.

If you feel the need to 'show off', then you do not possess the internal reserves found in enlightened beings BTW.

Pulling out my Tarot cards... Yep. Umm Hmm... Just what we expected...

Oops. Can't tell you what I see, tho... if I had to tell you, you wouldn't be deserving of knowing.

Then I'd have to eat you. Just like the character in Bubba Ho-Tep. Bleah.

To quote this biker guy I knew, when told something similar to the above quote a coule decades ago... "Enlighten this." (I'm sure you're enlightened enough to know the appendage he was grabbing when he sayeth this...)

Bayabridgiasusalini, kundalini maharishi of oshkosh, purveyor of secrets of Niemh, brewer of incensed insence, and general troublemaker, sayeth the following...

Вы говорите тарабарщину. Запахи хомяков и полыни. Тракторы, турнепсы, батокс! Смех карточек в ваш общееа руководство.

You just proved it yourself. And it's not a "was" it's an "is".

If it didn't work, you wouldn't even know it existed.

Now returning this keyboard to normal insanity...

BayBridgeSue:

I'm not understanding your thesis.

Are you saying Christianity is a cult even now?

or

Are you saying that because Christianity is an "is" (oh my gosh, NOW I know why Clinton brought up the meaning of "is" LOL) that it is no longer a cult,

which, if the case,

would make Landmark NOT a cult because since we are talking about it as an is (and both happy and disgruntled seminarians of Landmark can attest that it is an "is") and not a "was."

That's because is NOT thesis, is post to silly bulletin board. Am not here to think. Am here to entertain and enlighten.

BTW - what does any of this have to do with Landmark or est or any of similar stuff? Unrelevant thread drift.

Or are you trying to drag Christianity to a totally unrelated thread? Hmmm... thought so.

"obnoxious" is a valid expression of being...and sometimes it takes an alarm clock to get people's attention directed toward waking...

asking why i should get involved in someone else's enlightenment process is a fair question...

if it's for egoic reasons, it's opposed to my own path and practice...a waste of my effort, as well as theirs...

Oops - funky edit there, sorry. Cute, tho...

Nothing that energy is put into is ever a waste. NEVER.

Even if you find no value in it, others may find it extremely valuable. Even entertaining.

Define 'works'.

Landmark Forums make claims of enhancing people's lives. I'm asking about the methodology and its effectiveness. They are asking for quite a bit of money to 'enhance' someone's life.

Christianity does not require a down payment. Also they make no effort to hide how they get new members or what their training or knowledge entails. You can pick up a bible anywhere and get the information you need. Hell, ask any priest- they'll be more than glad to fill you in for free.

Stats and data can be found, of that I'm sure. How many drop out of the fold, how many feel better about their lives after discovering religion X, etc.

Where is this information about the Landmark Forums? More importantly, why are they charging?

my knowledge would only seem secret to those who haven't bothered to find out for themselves

never said i was superior to anyone...we're all made of the same stuff...just configured differently...

traditional enlightment depends on reflection from the guru...

The Truth.

It is manifest in your reaction to external stimulus and tempered by your past experiences. The mesh through which you perceive the universe can be made clearer by changing the effect your past experiences has on your internalization of your external stimulus. To be enlightened, you need only use specific enlightenment techniques that will clear your Mesh and allow you to see Truth.

And I'll sell you the pamphlet for only $1000. Cashier's check only please.

There will always be non-believers and those who question her power. But for those who believe there is no question. No doubts. Nothing but total acceptance and ever expanding awareness.

Whatever she wants she gets. It's just how it is.
