PSI Seminars wants you to be out of your minds, by being in touch with your feelings, so that you can happily dip into your wallets and set up their recurring revenue with Principia

If you attend Principia, your marriage is in trouble, you are married and into avoidance, you are out there scamming for singles to take advantage of that remind you of your unhealed relationship with your mother.

And for some reason you like to be patted on the shoulder by Shirley Hunt or Jane Willhite

Seems like you all need a shrink if you fit that mold.

I suppose that sometimes we forget as consumers that we are held to "Buyer Beware" clause. It is unfortunate that not everyone investigates before investing $500, let alone $15, 000. Like most things, a human being should want to move forward with an understanding of what they are investing in.

I have spent the last 3 days further investing time into researching PSI after attending the basic. After the basic, did I want to invest into PSI 7? Absolutely! As a responsible adult did I take the time to think this over, list pros and cons, and consider my other financial responsibilities (such as an upcoming wedding, my partner being a student, and the new house we just moved into)? Absolutely! I decided the train stops here. I decided that I had some new skill sets that I could use in my every day life, such as listening in a new way, giving to those around me (not limited to staffing a basic, and learning to change how I viewed the past to better my current relationships.

I had taken similar workshops through my place of employment without guided meditation and visualizations, and received very similar results.

I attended basic and my first instinct was not to leave my partner. It was to talk about all the things that were under rug swept, listen to how she felt, and work together to find a way that we could both exist without one over compensating for the other. I did not max out my credit cards, buy a Porsche, and take out a mortgage on a mansion. I did not "hook up" with a facilitator or another student. I feel that these are choices that align with my integrity and moral compass.

I would recommend those that did act as described in all the reviews take a long, hard look at yourselves and ask yourselves why you took these actions, in a vulnerable state or not. These were choices that otherwise consenting adults agreed to.

Before attending a seminar, you did not take the time to investigate the company you were investing in before dropping $500, which says quite a bit about your inclinations towards impulsiveness.

This is not meant to be for one another, everyone takes back something different. This is simply encouragement to share responsibility rather than finding a scapegoat to place anger. You made a pretty reckless choice before being "under the influence of PSI, " but of course there's no way you could have made another reckless choice if it weren't for them.

Lastly, I wish everyone would stop quoting the book about cults in our midst. The author has since been involved legally, recanted, issued letters stating otherwise, and removed mention in all future publications.

This was a neutral review from someone that attended and did not buy into marketing, did not lose their spouse or job, and did not act out of her integrity. She used common sense, took what worked for her, and discarded the rest (yes, I did actually have control of my actions). What did the rest of you do? There must be SOME ownership on the consumers part for their err in judgement when not under the influence of the company.
