I attended a PSI Basic Seminar "graduation" this month and walked away with a negative feeling, and wonder for a brief moment, if there was something wrong with me as everyone else appeared to overly jubilant. There was a high in at that "sales pitch" that actually brought me back to the days of Life Spring, EST, and every motivation sales training seminar I ever attended. To date,TM, which is a discipline I still find quite useful never, ever, made me feel so pressured. I mean, isn't that the point, to free yourself from all those pressures?
So I'd like to hear from some of you, as I now find myself close friends with two couples who have recently finished "basic" and are now considered "staff" and have even signed up for training up to the one year discipline. And although I've made it quite clear that I gained the same basic knowledge in the self-help motivational courses that I took in the '80s -- courses that they've never expereinced, then why put so much pressure so me to experience the one and only seminar training that they've ever taken?
They deny needing quotas, but I found online a testimonial from a previous PSI person who debunks that myth and, the myth about just how rich is "for profit" organization really is. But these were dated and I'm looking for current comments.
So I welcome any input, suggestions, and facts, as I just
ran into one of these couples last night and one of them
couldn't resist saying, "How much I'd get out of "the training." So as you can imagine, this is really putting a strain on me and I'm afraid of what it will do to a friendship that I really value. But... I have no desire to take part in PSI training so... help... please! |

i agree. i also attended the first seminar and the guest speaker picked up a quarter ( 25 cents) and asked if it was mine and i said it was, knowing it wasnt mine, to a student next to me knowing that it clearly was not my quarter, and he asked me again again knowing it was not mine, if it was truely my quarter of a dollar and i replied NO it was not mine, and he then made an example of people that are negative and take what are not theirs to begin with but, within the same 5 minutes the leader/instructor/scam artist asked another student what changes they wanted to make in his life and he responded that he wants to commit to the next stage of p.s.i being "sy 7" what ever that means, and the instructor was more than fast to make him pull out his wallet and give it to a staff member to prepay this sucker before he reconsiders his 3400 dollar committment. This is an obvious sales tactic, and may i add non- refundable sale. |
