[Lucifer] The Landmark Forum human potential cult has its origins in
Scientology and est.

Do you know anyone that was recruited?
[Michelle] They tried to get me once, when I had graduated high school
and maintained contacts with a dear mentor and teacher. She brought me
to a forum, paid for it, and wanted to talk about it with me. Luckily
my ex-wife was suspicious and I dropped the whole thing to avoid
conflict before I'd even finished the three-day forum.
The whole thing was well-engineered for an average person to suddenly
find out how brilliant they are and "unlock their inner potential" and,
much like the early stages of Scientology, seemed harmless enough for
all that. But I could see the implications of a money-vacuum and a
cultish ubertogetherness, and by the third day of the forum I thought it
was overly aggressive in the sell and just felt uncomfortable.
But as Erik said, the methods were my first introduction to such
techniques and it was quite interesting. I would rather have been a fly
on the wall than have been there, being stared at, however.
