Thanks Corbin and kdag.
Kdag your chocolate and vanilla scenario seems to be what happened to me, but in my case he did not chose me. As you know, no explanation was given for his choice.
Not giving people content is extremely destructive.
The smiling through dissatisfaction that you alluded to earlier is interesting as well. Actually the entire chocolate/vanilla exercise is not conducive to effective communication at all. A person should not be smiling when they are doing something they don’t like or are causing people pain, and being forced to do so is awful. It would induce sociopathic traits.
I think Corboy posted earlier about how the Landmark participant is taught to smile or laugh if someone else is crying/upset. All these concepts must be tied in together someway to contribute to the change in someone’s outward demeanour and their behaviours. It must be something to do with altering the Limbic system which also happens during the sleep/sensory deprevation and fear based meditation - again when you are meant to laugh after it’s finished.
Even summising the information from you both and from what I observed, the landmark participant seems to be encouraged to only project happiness no matter the consequences. This denies true feelings to surface for themselves and those around them, as no ones true feelings are even acknowledged - or allowed to be displayed for that matter.
Wow....
