> I've done the whole curriculum for living: The landmark Forum, the Advanced Course, and The Self Expression and Leadership Course. I don't know exactly how I ended on this site, but I found it and I would like to clear up a few things. The curriculum is the study of what it is to be human. They do make you sign some paperwork where you are asked if you have any mental illness and the purpose of it is because the curriculum is not a substitute for theraphy and it should not be considered theraphy. During the forum you look at things about yourself such as fixed ways of being and it can be very unconfortable for some people and therefore if you have mental problems, it's recommended that you don't do it if you don't think that you can handle looking at parts of your past and completing with them once and for all so that they don't impact and affect who you are now and what you do or don't do in the future. The whole curriculum is extremely difficult to explain but It's worth more than any college education. Most of it is in the form of distinctions. for example, in the forum I learned the distiction "Strong Suit" mine are, being adaptable, Keeping people at a distance as in not letting myself fully love them, and always trying to be the best and have everyone know it. All three are a result of events in my past. the forum gives you access to such information in which your view of life transforms because you get to see things from a different perspective where there is total clarity. In the advance course, I learned that my "act" or who I really thought I was was a victim and that I held that in place to avoid being cause in the matter of my life. In the Self expression and leadership course, I learned where I'm stopped. In the advance course you get to give up your act and you learn to invent new possibilites for yourself and your life which can be described as stopping your journey, taking a look at all the luggage that you've accumulated during your life, you get to empty the luggage and you replace what was there with possibilites. You also do a community project which calls you to play a big game in your life and really see where you are not being you possibility. I'm a coach in my second SELP right now and to be completely honest, I would not be here writting if it wasn't for this education. I would not have survived my bankruptcy, divorce, loosing my business, and my home. All those things happened less than two years ago and I can honestly say that I love my life more now than ever. I'm clear. I know what matters and what's important. I'm here in this world to make a difference. I hope this helps to clarify some past posts.
