Where you are, you're going, how to get there.

by TheITSystem

I waited a full week to write this review so I could be over the influence of my koolaid.

59 other people took the basic seminar in January of 2009. I observed that there were between 30 and 60 different results achieved. I can only speak for myself. I'm not robbing anyone's joint accounts, I'm not spending my 401K to go to these seminars, I am working on a reasonable plan to get me from Basic to Psi 7.

Hearing Psi seminars called a cult is so funny to me right now. Psi doesn't offer anything that I can't get out of life on my own. For that matter it doesn't offer or suggest anything that I didn't want out of (or in to) my life.

I can read books, watch movies, ask successful people questions, observe people who have what I want, there are a million ways for me to get the same results. I Just happened to get introduced to a formula that was put together 36 years ago. I invested $495 dollars to learn it so I may apply it to my life.

Unlike reading a book I went through this with several expeianced coaches standing behind me and 59 peers standing next to me that experianced this with me.

On Thursday night we did one exercise in the realm of finding out where you are starting from. In that exercise we all put ourselves into 1 of 4 groups. This instruction was given 10 times maybe more: "if at any time you feel you are in the wrong group to get up and move to the correct group." I never did stand up and move to my group. I beat myself up for the rest of the night and the next day thinking I was alone.

Friday night we all came back together in 1 group instead of the 4. Many people expressed that they too were in the wrong group, but didn't get up and move. Finding out that I was not alone in that habit of sitting still, not disrupting my surroundings to correct myself when I'm wrong. That experiance alone was worth the cost of the entire seminar for me. That was not the best experiance I had in the four days either.

• Pros: Money back gurantee on Basic, opportunity of a lifetime.
• Cons: Sales staff is pushy. Don't forget it is a business too.

PSI made a zombie out of my Husband

by XofPSIZombie

PSI was the beginning of the end of our marriage. There was nothing I could do or say to stop him from taking PSI's Basic and all the levels ending with Principia. Since 2003 he went to Principia twice, the 'Ranch' three times, volunteered for so many seminars that I quit counting, charged well over $30, 000 on our credit cards not including the transportation and meals. Like a converted fanatic, he badgered all our friends, relatives and his coworkers to join PSI. He took off work so many times that he lost his job! And, when we could no longer make the minimum payments on my salary to the credit card companies, he began the downward spiral that resulted in his drawing out all our equity in our home, his cashing in his 401K, asking me to cash in my IRAs ... Today our house is being threatened with foreclosure and he's talking about bankruptcy! I'm nearly 60 years old and he's retirement age and he gave everything we own to PSI Seminars. Just when I thought things could not possibly get any worse, he announced proudly, 'I'm sending our grandson to the ranch in July.' My ears were ringing and my mouth became too dry to ask how he is going to pay for it. I can only guess he was able to get yet another credit card. This will be at least the fifth or maybe sixth one he's opened and maxed out since this nightmare began. During sleepless nights, I worry about our finances and uncertain future. I blame myself because it was actually my friend who took us to that meeting that fateful night. But most of all, I blame PSI because they tapped into some weakness they found in the love of my life ... they twisted him into some kind of monster who destroyed all of our tomorrows together. As we signed our divorce papers in Mar 2008, I found the only good thing in this mess: We have nothing left of value to fight over. PSI owns it all!

• Pros: good if you want a divorce
• Cons: brainwashing

PSI is not a Cult !

by shalinda

I"'m writing about PSI ..at first yes they do push a lot however i did go forth and created a business .

I was stuck in my life and ended up doing things i never did before .I did a lot of voluntering for them i did PSI seven and yes i barrowed money .It was THE BEST experinence i ever had .We did go to the ranch and the cool aid was quite good .I'm still here and the clut didn't get me .I didn't look at it that way ,

I'm sorry to read such negative stuff and I call it stuff .It allowed me to grow as a person and not be afaird that if you try at what you do hard enough with all your heart and soul you can be what yo want .

I met people form all over the world with the very same problems as we all have .It is just in a different language .I became not afraid of seeking another way of life . My husband was not Happy that i pushed him to go to PSI but i left it up to him to choose . We are still married and our marriage is better . Will the feeling of the high you get from being pumped up disappear ? You bet ,however yu take the tools you learned and use them for thE rest of your life . IF YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF A RUT THEN THIS IS FOR YOU ! TAKE WHAT YOU NEED AND MOVE ON YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE CONSUMED YOU ARE THE DESTINY THE DRIVER OF YOUR LIFE NO ONE CAN FORCE ANYHITNG ON YOU UNLESS YOU LET THEM..................
