Upon my friend's recommendation, I completed the PSI "Basic" seminar. It was quite expensive and when I first took it I did not feel like I learned anything that new life-changing, however I met some great people formed a couple authentic friendships. As time went on I realized that I did use the Victim / Responsible exercise almost daily until now I rarely view myself as a Victim and instead choose Responsibility. This exercise helped free me from feeling like a Loser and being depressed to feeling like a Winner and being empowered.in that regard, although this could have been done in a number of less expensive or alternative ways, the Basic course to me was worth every single penny. I have even heard a couple of people say that the courses were better than years of therapy.
My problem with the course is the negative pressure PUSHING that is done to coerse people to sign up for the advanced courses. As per the agreement that is made, we are allowed to take the Basic course an unlimited amount of times. There is no reason to guilt anyone into taking a higher level course. When I returned to re-audit / be on the Production team, the director told me she was CONCERNED that I thought the course was too expensive.
Several people who worked there stated that I SHOULD take the course. They did not appear to be happy that I am happy.in fact, they all appeared to be annoyed, irritated, and downright angry. If I am to apply the priciples of the course, then there are Infinite ways to pursue my goal of happiness, not just PSI seminars. We were all asked to make goals of how many people we would bring to the graduation, which was called a presentation, implying that the main focus was to get more people to sign up and not celebrate the graduating class.
I have asked several people about the Advanced courses, which are all thousand of dollars. Everyone says they liked the courses, but when pressed could not say exactly what impact it had to change their life for the better. Specifically, the vast majority of people could not state how they had financially benefitted from the course. As they say in the course, there are Reasons and there are Results. I did not see significant objective Results in these graduates and many of the graduates stated that they did not have objective financial advances. Many of the people who did all the courses and were on the voluntary staff team seemed to be flat out broke.
I spent the money that I would have spent on a vacation and am SO HAPPY that I did! I made the decision that was in my heart and you have the choice to do this too. It is great that opportunities and courses like this are out there and exist. You have every right to choose responsibly.
