Los Angeles April B Training changed everything for my 18 year old life. Julie Peters Lewis

Werner certainly does not need another accolade. His life’s work speaks for itself. In some small way, this is my tribute. The year was 1973 and I was about to begin medical school in Philadelphia. EST was far from main stream and essentially unknown in Philly. Nick, a friend from NYC excitedly called me about this experience he’d had and … Read More

I first met Werner and Gonneke back in the book sales days, then participated in the training and graduate activities.I’m delighted that they are now free to be among those of us who cherish them.I never worshipped Werner–I didn’t even always like him, for what that’s worth–and I can most certainly be described as one of those who did not … Read More

I see that Mr. Erhard has been published in the Capitalism and Society Journal.  It is an interesting read.  I particularly like this quote from their abstract, “Integrity as we define it (or the lack thereof) on the part of individuals or organizations, has enormous economic implications for value, productivity, and quality of life. Indeed, integrity is a factor of … Read More

I saw this post on Facebook and thought I’d share it here.  I agree with Richard.  Werner Erhard should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize! “I believe Werner Erhard deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.This man created programs that transformed, and continues to transform, the lives of a few million people by bringing a new level of peacefulness into their … Read More

I went to hear Werner speak at Stanford in November.  What he talked about was compelling.  It was good to see so many old est graduates in the audience.  My favorite was seeing Gonneke Spits, who had been my Center Manager in the 1970’s.  Gonneke looked great, even better than I remembered.

I changed my life from running on a track to choosing the direction I go in.Anyone remember the original invitation / introductory leaflet to EST (I did the cure in London 1983) it talked about changing the context of your life not the content and that the purpose of establishing was to transform your ability to experience living. I’d love … Read More

Me a kid of 25, I immediately walked out of the est training in June of 1975, after listening to Tony ? our leader, feeling completely free of ANY thought, which gave me the option to newly consider everything about the world, MY WORLD. It was extraordinary and I have never felt so completely void of a thought as I … Read More

Good to see that Landmark is carrying on the work Werner created – yes, it’s still empty and meaningless! (And meaningless that it is empty and meaningless)https://goodmenproject.com/guy-talk/a-mans-life-is-empty-and-meaningless-wcz/

Nella Reed AbbottI graduated from the 2nd est training in San Francisco (I believe it was 1971.) It was at the Jack Tarr Hotel.Langdon Carter was my trainer and Ron Bynum was in the back of the room at guarding the door. We were at the Jack Tarr Hotel.I had to pee so bad toward the end of the first … Read More

I had a huge breakthrough and got a good look at the role I played in my breakup with my ex-husband out of a co parenting class I took recently. It reminded me of some of the distinctions of this work, like “being cause in the matter”. He and I are now both re-committed to being the best parents we … Read More

I “got it” from my Training in the early 80’s. I just “followed the rules and took what I got,” which in the space of my transformational paradigm shift was, “that which I think I’m thinking is that which is thinking me.”In other words, the isness of my life is greater than my thinking,I learned the Power of my Word, … Read More
