Landmark Forum

Dear Kavitha,

I am happy that you are a transformed person and are now living a more meaningful/purposeful life. Congratulations.

I first heard about Landmark forum from a colleague of mine. He was insistent that I undergo the course. At that time I was of the opinion that it was just another Personality Development kind of course where one gets to hear about various people's experiences, and how the course changed them. I felt that I had no need for such a course, I believed that what I required was a little bit of discipline, perseverance and hard work to reach where I wanted to go. I sat through the introductory session with this prejudice and gave the course a skip. Now, almost a decade later I find that I am very much in the same place where I was earlier; I still only need "a little bit of discipline, perseverance and hard work to reach where I want to go". But why has it happened, or rather, not happened?

To me it seems that my life is almost over and what have I achieved? What happened to all my aspirations? ZILCH! Nothing. It betrays a certain flaw / weakness in my nature or is it to do with my perceptions. If that is so, then why not take support when it is available? My mind was now open to explore new possibilities for making my life meaningful, just as a drowning man would clutch at a straw to stay afloat. It was at this point in time that I was invited to the introductory session again from a totally unexpected person. This must be Divine Intervention I thought, my mind was now fertile ground for new ideas to be sown and I jumped at the offer.

I am slated to attend the forum starting August 22, 2008, just 3 days away. I am going with a positive frame of mind, I've done a lot of introspection and am rearing to get started. I promise to give you feedback as soon as the course is over.

This comment has grown in length, much longer than the original post, and much of it has all the lingo that is typically associated with missionary talk; but whatever I've written is the truth as I perceive it now. Even if it happens that I become a hypnotized zombie after the course, I don't mind, for atleast I would be a happy zombie. :) Much of what we are are just perceptions, so it really doesn't matter.

Thanks for posting your experience, and wishing you the very best.

Selva
