The Journey: Landmark Part 2

[squigglequill]

...as continued from part 1...But now we come to the dark side of it all. Many people kept wondering whether Landmark was another business scheme like...Amway? I had never heard of Amway but that name got brought up several times. And Scientology got brought up a few times too

Very interesting stories. I've had experiences like that with Tarot, where a seemingly negative reading will prime me before a potentially bad situation develops and I am better able to see it for what it is and simply walk away from it. I always record my readings but seldom review them against events of the day.

Yeah, I'm particularly fascinated by the fact that my reading for THAT week was Chariot, Death and 7 of Disks (Failure). Certain cards, like Failure, or Defeat, or Futility have such an emotional impact on my psyche, I imagine that this is "bad". In this particular case, the card simply referred to the fact that I didn't sit through the entire course, but left early and didn't...technically...complete it

Fuuuuuuuuucking hell... You've been through some FUCK.ED. UP. SHIT.

Did Roscoe make you pay the three hundred whatever dollars in the end?

[squigglequill]

I can't remember. I think I paid him half. Either half or I didn't pay him back at all. I don't mind paying for it though. I need to write an addendum to this post so be on the lookout. There are important things I forgot to write about that substantiate why I consider this, overall, a challenging but good experience.

You didn't comment on part 1 of this so I'm wondering...did you see it and read it?

[zephret]

I did, yes. I went up and looked this group and found various classifications as some sort of cult.

[squigglequill]

Yeppers! I would agree that it is a cult. I am fascinated that they worked the "education" angle instead of the "religion" angle. Very clever!
