The land mark forum

A friend of mine suggested I attend The land mark forum which seems to have completely transformed him into a happy bubbly less self analytical guy. I obliged and went to experience and explore with an open mind and heart and possibly become enlightened. I tried my best not to be skeptical until I started to feel like it was one big huge marketing plan… it almost sounded like they were saying “sign up and forget drugs sex and alcohol.. what you want is happiness… and we have it but question is… how much are you willing to pay for it?” And well as soon as I made that connection there was no hope. It was like the American Embargo against Cuba had positioned itself right between what was being presented and my brain. I couldn’t take what they were saying seriously but alas before fort Knox became secure I took, two things with me and arrived at another two pretty big revelations:

1) There are things you know and there are things you don’t know.
There are things you know that you don’t know but there are also things you don’t know you don’t know.

2) Think of all the things you want to accomplish. Lets say… Career fulfillment. And think of how that would make you feel if you got it. Lets say it would make you feel accomplished.. now think of what would happen if in your mind you threw out the necessity of having a good job in order to feel that way and went straight to the feeling accomplished… wouldn’t that in turn make finding a good job a more pleasant experience and also be a great source of motivation and energy?

3) What if someone told you that you are the shackles on your mind. You are what allows your mind to see more experience more and feel more. What if you became conscious of the fact that you’re constantly trying to mould and fit your mentality into a predefined box and then made a consciencious effort to break free of that mentality. What would you be able to accomplish? The answer would be anything. Impossible is nothing and everything is possible.

4)Be open minded and open to all but be weary that too much open mindedness can have your brains fall out. i.e a search for truth means no boundaries but no boundaries mean you can reach any conclusion… what if you are unable to process that truth?
