Landmark Forum advice needed

[ramon]

A very good friend of mine attended Landmark Forum in Cape Town after several months of depression, likely triggered by a divorce from his wife. After he attended this training he began speaking about being open to possibilities, not living inside a box, and making contact with amazing people. He expressed a lot more enthusiasm for life and demonstrated more certainty about living life to the full.

However, I recall another very good friend of mine, that I have know for many more years tell me back in 1999 about how cult like Landmark Forum people are. One of the common outcomes is that the people who attended hard sell the the course to their friends.

My friend has relaxed a little bit on insisting that I go. Once again I am confused because I read both very positive and very negative reviews on the web.

After discovering the work of Dr John Demartini, which dovetails beautifully with Steve Pavlina's very pragmatic approach to personal development, I do not want to move, yet again, to another system or way of thinking. I have found some tried and tested principles in this website. I have already completed Demartini's Breakthrough Experience and the Speed Reading seminar. And this is the path I have chosen to follow.

I need some objective assessment from this forum, excuse the pun, on how to evaluate whether to going on the Landmark Forum training or not. I have no idea of what will be covered or the cost. I only have the dates.

Sincerely
Ramon
