It was not about information spoken or heard. Unless you don't like to hear the truth, there was only love and support, nothing abrasive. Doesn't sound like you know much about it and are just spouting off from who knows what ideological stance. The transformation that was delivered by the est training was totally experiential.

Who WOULDN'T want to hear such comforts, however abrasively delivered? Erhard, 1978: "I have a lot of feeling for Ron Hubbard. His genius has not been sufficiently acknowledged." Indeed. The transformation of one’s self and worldview through the sham of est? Who WOULDN’T want to hear such comforts, however abrasively delivered?

Erhard, 1978: “I have a lot of feeling for Ron Hubbard. His genius has not been sufficiently acknowledged.”

Indeed.

Do you know anything at all about the man and what he stood for? IDid you just pick out a name that you heard bandied about? Werner Erhard was never an individual who told people what they wanted to hear nor was he one who pronounced obvious maxims that comforted people. Werner's purpose in life was to challenge others to be great and he was never comfortable to be around. I know because I worked with him for seven years, the most challenging time of my life.

Spontaneous planning? Isn't that a wee contradictory? * Ted Murphy of IZEA defending taking money for tweets as long as you're "authentic." Apparently, he's never heard of Caesar's wife, suspicion, above (wiki it up, man). Notice how none of these people discuss actually selling a product, as if the quality of the product, the desirability or the product itself matters. Reminds me of the crop of MBAs in the 1980s who believed they could run any company, no matter what, because they have an EMMBEEAEE. And run them they did, right into the ground.
