An evening with WERNER ERHARD: ON MASTERY


WERNER ERHARD

For nearly 40 years. Werner Erhard has been the creator of innovative ideas and models of individual, organizational, and social transformation. His ideas and models have been the source of new perspectives for thinkers and practitioners in fields as diverse as business, education, philosophy, medicine, psychotherapy, third world development, conflict resolution, and community building. He has created new ways of seeing things in areas where progress has stalled or where breakthroughs would make a significant difference. A majority of the fortune 100 companies and many foundations and governmental entities have used his ideas and models. Fortune magazine’s 40th anniversary issue (May 15, 1985), in examining the major contribution to management thinking, recognized Erhard’s ideas as one of the major innovations of the last few decades.

While he may be best known to the general public for applications derived from his models including The est Training and The Landmark Forum of the 1970s and 1980s, currently Erhard commits his time and intellectual effort almost exclusively to the academic world, lecturing this year at Harvard University Business School, Texas A&M University Mays School of Business, United States Air Force Academy and the Academy of Management.

More than two million people around the world have participated in the public, corporate and academic programs and courses and courses he has created.(The Landmark Forum)

Social scientist Daniel Yankelovich said of a study he conducted of participants of The Landmark forum: “Several of the study’s findings surprised me quite a bit, especially the large number of participants for whom the Forum proved to be one of the most valued experiences of my life’. This is not a sentiment that people, especially successful, well-educated people, express lightly.”

Erhard is largely self-educated, albeit with tutoring from some important thinkers of his time, sir Karl Popper, Hilary Putnam, Michael E. Zimmerman said of Erhard “He had no particular formal training in anything, but he understood things as well as anyone I’d ever seen; and I’ve been around a lot of smart people in academia. This is an extraordinary intellect I saw at work…”

In recognition of his humanitarian work around the world Erhard was awarded was awarded the Mahatma Gandhi Humanitarian Award.

Most of the programmes such as the Landmark forum, Advanced Course, Advanced Course, Communication Courses etc. offered by Landmark Education are based on the original ideas created by Werner Erhard.

Hundreds of thousands of people have participated in these programmes and credit Werner Erhard for the incredible transformation experienced in their lives and acknowledge his ideas as having inspired them to lead more productive, happier and meaningful lives and for their ability to create lives in which making a difference is high on their agenda.

EXCERPTS;

OUR WAY of being that is the way we are is a function of our attitude ,our mental state,
whats going on with you internaly (& Not out side),Situation to situation .

You are not who you know yourself to be.Our way of being is Just the way of being
That we have resigned to ourselves to be.and our freedom to chose who we are.
Who you know yourself to be is not who you are.Human beings are divided
by religions ,sects,nations but the basic structure of human mind is same
throughout.thats the reason the Landmark Technology works for all for all human being
throughout the world.

Now the question arises what decides our way of being.??
Our way of being is Mental state ,Emotional state,bodyly state, Thoughts and thought process.

What are the actions we take.??
Actions are the means through which you creat Impact on the world.
Your impact on world is your actions.The way you act is the way you deal with life.
Its the way of impacting the world.

Now whats the relation between way of being and the way you act.??.
Masters do not decide way of being and way of actions ,
"Masters Dance with Life.".

Neuroscience,your brain patterns has proved that your way of being doesnt cause your actions .Your way of being and your actions arise together as though they are one.
Neuropattern of actions and activated by your brain is already stored networked together,
with the stored Neral pattern of your way of being.

Your front of hand and back of the hand come together they are inseperable
Same way ,your way of being and way you act come together.
Now what is the access to the source of way of being.??Let us see.

What are you dealing with currently in your life??
We are all dealing with circumstance on / In which you are acting,
performing different actions.Who i am myself amongst theses circumstances??.

Now let us get clear about the term what is the occuring world.??
Mastering The way in which you perceive what you are dealing with .
Way in which circumstance register your mind .
Your Occuring world is the way in which circumstances on./in you are dealing with and the way in which they register you .

Your way of being , your occuring world & your actions are all correlated .
Your Actins are correlated with what occurs to you .Way of being ,Way of acting are correlated with how life occurs to you.the way things are perceived by you, registered by you.
So mastery is gaining mastery to dance with the occuring world .
Just as an electron dances around the nucleus of the Atom .
So the source of way of being and our way of acting is What you are dealing with what occurs for you .Way of being and actions are connected to the way in which you are dealing with occuring world and the way in which it shows up for you.
So be present to the occuring world around you and the circumstances you deal with.
Who You are is always in the clearing of the world around you.
The kind of clearing and the space you choose to be will always shows up.
So what thoughts are governing your mind about yourself will always how up.
