The Landmark Forum teaches you to let go of the ego
1. The Landmark Forum teaches you to let go of the ego
Winston Churchill had once said these words during the II World War. “England expects every
man to do his duty.” Similarly, our creator, the Almighty also expects each one of us to do our
duty. God does not want us to worry about the results of our actions. However, the man in his
infinite wisdom tries to influence the outcome of his actions not knowing that he does not have
any control over the results of his actions. Many religious scriptures preach this. The Landmark
Forum emphasizes this point in detail, but in a different way. They do not use the word God, etc
lest they sound as belonging to a religious organization. Their teachings have nothing to do with
any religion. Any similarities are a pure coincidence.
The ego factor:
The human being has an inflatable ego. This ego is the reason for the downfall of many an
empire in the world. The Landmark Education teaches you to get rid of the ego. This ego makes
him or her think that they can influence the results of the actions of the individual. This would
be a futile thought. When you find that the results are opposite from what you had expected,
the feeling of dejectedness is natural. At the same time, if you were able to detach from the
results, you would not feel much pain. The Landmark Education teaches you these aspects.
Therefore, one should concentrate on doing his or her duty to the best of one’s ability and
leave the rest to Nature. You get what you deserve. The sooner you realize this aspect of life,
the better it would be you. Landmark Worldwide incorporates these aspects into their training
schedules.
The vicious circle:
This forum teaches you to detach yourself from the problem on hand. The moment you identify
with the problem, you are inviting trouble for yourself. If you view the problem as separate
from you, the chances of finding a proper solution improves a lot. It would be very easy to say
these things but difficult to implement the same into practice. The Landmark Forum educates
you about this detachment procedure as well. In case you learn the same, it would be beneficial
to you. Otherwise, you get into the vicious circle of getting involved with the problem and
2. thereby causing you lot of discomfort.
When you learn the art of detachment, you feel a great sense of liberation as well. You become
free to express your ideas towards finding an amicable solution. Without the baggage of
attachment, you would find that the solution would be easy to find. You would get a range of
options to play with before arriving at the perfect solution.
Final words:
These teachings may border on the spiritual aspect of life. However, there is no connection
between the Landmark Forum and spirituality. Many a Landmark Forum review reiterates this
fact. These are great ideas worth implementing by anybody at any stage in life. It is bound to
give the perfect results.
