So I went along to the Landmark Forum this past weekend. They were long days (9am to about 10:30pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday), but it was good fun. I'm far from a Landmark "convert".. and I have to admit I was a little skeptical going in to it.. but I did get a hell of a lot out of it. OK, so what is Landmark? Landmark is basicly a whole new way of looking at things which gives you the opportunity to create pretty much "anything you want for yourself in life". The Forum is about getting rid of baggage from your past so you have the potential for a clean slate future which you can put anything on. I went in there thinking there was nothing wrong with me. I still think there's nothing wrong with me, but I still got something out of it. I phoned both my parents and told them about Silver Fox.. yeah I'm dating a guy and he's way older than me (double wammy for my parents). I now have the potential for a completely honest relationship with my parents. I also have been completely inspired Re: work and have gotten over some major blockages I had (e.g. not asking for things, etc.).. well at least that's how it's been today. And I think that's enough for now. Heaps of people in the Forum had complete transformations.. there were tears, there were people bringing together their family who hadn't spoken in 30years, there were people gaining the confidence to start their own business, there were people who finally stopped resenting their ex for the horrible things they'd done... yeah, so I had quite a few *tear* moments for them all.
Right now I'm just relaxing back into life, achieving heaps at work today. I also told my housemate about SF today. There's a Landmark evening tomorrow evening where friends come along. So far SF, my dad and my housemate are going to come along and check out what it's about. If they like it, they can sign up. Woot! I know a lot more people than that though who would really get something out of it. But hey, $500 seems a lot to people for the possibility of creating a great future and getting into a fantastic mindspace.. well at least it did for me.
OK.. I'm starting to sound a little freaky now, aren't I?
I do feel pretty clean-slate-like now. I'm excited about my PhD again, and I'm constantly excited by starting teaching again soon. But I'm also looking forward to sleeping in this coming weekend.
