PSI seminars rock. It’s one of those things that you don’t want to do, but when you actually do it, you’d be asking yourself why you didn’t do it sooner.
I was done with personal development when my fiance told me to take this seminar. In short, I thought I know all there is to know about me, and nothing else will make much of a difference. Plus, I don’t need fixing or improving, thank you very much. But when I took the Basic seminar, I learned so many things that made me very very thankful to my fiance. If he wasn’t so persistent in promoting PSI, I might have never taken it. At $500 over 4 days, it’s not exactly cheap.
But that’s all in the past. I’m glad I did it, I’m glad he pushed me, I’m glad I was open to it, and honestly, it’s one of those things that now I can’t imagine living without having done it.
I went to PSI-7 and WLS also. And wow those two rocked as well. WLS was my personal favorite. I think I learned much more there than the previous seminars. Personal liberty and responsibility is close to my heart, due to what I’ve gone through in the past few months (or years), but I think somewhere along the line, I wasn’t really taking the responsibility of my own life. As in, I chose the easy way, rather than what I really wanted. I settle for less, because what I want is too far out there.
Perhaps now I’m still like that, but I’m definitely more aware of it. It’s like, once you know how good life can be, you’re reluctant to settle for less than great. Because really, this or that, easy or hard, it’s all about choice. And i can make different choices every time. Every time. Hm, if that’s not a great personal responsibility, i don’t know what is.
PSI stuff definitely are not new. Books and books have kept on talking about choice, living to the fullest, usingall your potentials etc for years and years. But I think what PSI is so good at, is that they brought what were once mere words, into experience. What was theory knowledge, becomes practical knowledge. And it’s so great, because once you learn how to bike or to swim, you’ll never forget it. And the actual knowing with your whole body is much more valuable than just knowing it in your head.
Yeah, cool, I think that’s why I like PSI so much. And it’s just amazing to meet other people, and see what they’ve been through, and how they’ve been helped with what they learned.
Which brought me to something else. There is just so many unnecessary suffering in this world. It’s so easy for me to see it in other people, because obviously I’m not living in their life. But really in the whole scheme of things, none of my baggage or my concerns are really true. I just made all those up, through circumstances , true. But still at any moment I can make a new life. I can change the direction where I’m going.
Which now brings to realization, how beautiful life is. How amazing is that, that every second holds opportunity, and that the opportunity for a different, better, more fun, more relaxed, more adventurous life are always with you, are always with me. That’s just awesome.
Well, if you’re ever come across my writings here, check out PSI seminars at www.psiseminars.com. They have an office in every few states, and you should check them out. Take the basic seminar. See if you think it’s worth it. There are a number of dissenters out there for PSI, and that’s fine as every person has their own opinion about everything. In the end, life goes on. For me, PSI was amazing. I’m so grateful to be introduced to these philosophies in this way, at 28 yrs of age, that I can take what I learned until the rest of my life. And I plan to live until 150, actually. In great health, in abundance, in happiness. I’m curious to see how the world evolve from this day forward.
And look what I found, a video by Bob Proctor (One of The Secret guys) for PSI.

1 X of a PSI Zombie // May 27, 2009 at 1:04 pm
PSI Seminars They made a zombie out of the love of my life!
In Nov 2002, a friend invited my husband of nearly 30 years and me to a mysterious meeting. ‘You’ll find out it’s about when you get you get there.’ We liked this person so much that we went, more as a favor to them because they seemed to be under some kind of pressure to bring people.
I think I’m as smart as most anyone, but I really couldn’t understand what the speaker was selling. When the meeting stretched into a second hour, I was bored and frustrated because there seemed to be no point and no end.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed my husband’s expressionless face. He seemed mesmerized. Several times during the course of the evening, I tapped his hand with mine, attempting to bring him back to reality. Each time hee jerked as if I woke him from a dream.
Relieved when the speaker seemed to be concluding, I was anxious to get out of the room and go outside for some fresh air. It was impossible for me to hide my impatience as the room exploded with the noise of chairs being moved because we were instructed to sit in a circle.
Suddenly my friend’s demeanor changed as they pressured us to join ‘it’ that cost just $500 apeice. With anger welling up inside, I said, ‘I still don’t know what ‘it’ is!’
The people who were sitting in our circle seemed to break into two halves. One half focused on me and the other half on my husband.
What happened next reminded me of the scene in ‘Close Encounters’ when the aliens took the main charecter aboard their space ship.
It was surreal watching them surround my dear, sweet husband and walk him to the back of the room where banquet tables were set up. Through stinging eyes, I saw him hand our credit card to someone who processed our payment!
As the others continued to plead for me to join, I nearly bolted across the room to stop the transaction. For the first time in our marrage, my husband snapped rudely that this was what he wanted to do and I was going to do it, too.
We nearly came to blows!
His good sense returned long enough for him to realize that absolutely no way was I going to be dragged into this what-ever-it-was.
My reluctance to continue to be a spectacle dictated that I allow him to sign up by himself.
The ride home was quiet, but my mind was whirling with thoughts of Christmas coming next month and spending so much money on WHAT?
That night was the beginning of the end of our marrage. 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 bankruptsy!
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 fatefull 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!

PSI unlicensed practice
Respected sir/madam,
I just took the PSI basic last weekend looking for self improvement. Yes, people should learn and grow. Yes, change is hard and you need to come out of your comfort zone. Yes, life isn’t want you expected and you’ve either disappointed yourself or others. Yes, you want to make a difference and awaken the spirit within you. However…don’t get caught like Hansel and Gretel…so hungry that they couldn’t resist. What’s missing in your life? What are you hungry for? Be smart on how you get it. What doesn’t look right, smell right, sound right…(however that saying goes) probably isn’t right.
1. What kind of legitimate education course runs till midnight on Thur and Fri? Then have you come back full day Sat and Sun? Think about it.
2. What kind of course asks you to pay $500 -$700 but won’t tell you what it’s all about. You’re not going to the movies. You won’t find good surprises here, although you’ll be lured into thinking so. Instead, you’ll come back with problems you never knew you had. I don’t call that a surprise…and it’s not the right kind of personal insight either. There are better ways.
3. If there are negative blogs all over the net regarding this seminar doesn’t it ring alarm bells? Keep surfing; get enough info to make an informed decision. I spent over 8hrs finding loads of info, unfortunately only after I went to the basic. Be smart! If you still decide you’d like to go. What price are you willing to pay? Not financially but cognitively. Would you open your mind to someone who isn’t even a licensed practioner? I was there…I don’t care if it’s hypnotism, brainwashing whatever. It’s guided imagery where they take you back in time and conjure some of your deepest feelings as a kid. I think the practice is beneficial but not done in a group setting by some facilitator! Even if you go in there thinking you’re smart with no issues and you’re all happy, they won’t get you…well be very careful. My happy go lucky friends who were satisfied with life came out wanting more. The facilitator will want you to be in the now, be open, listen, get your money’s worth. And everyone else around you is getting so much out of it. Don’t feel that you have to get it. That’s when they’ll get you. The countless exercises will get you. The meditation, the voice of the narrator, the dim lights, the imagery will get you. And most importantly, do not get suckered into signing up for the next course on the last day (Sunday). $6000 is not cheap.
Ever heard of buyer’s remorse? You can get quality education (Universities - continuing education programs), enlightment, and practitioners for that kind of money. Get it from the right people. I don’t know what it’s called or what it is but I notice that my feelings are now somehow attached to that seminar. I can hear the facilitators voice in my head to keep my word, don’t be a victim, be a contributor, it’s not for everyone, it’s my choice, speak from the “I”, “What other people think is none of my business”, don’t be a sand wasp, conditioning/ programs, 100% intention, win-win…oh did they every distort this philosophy.
And the peace of mind model…??? Take a close look at it. Does it make any sense? What does career and financial have anything to do with mental? There are other models out there. Take only what make sense to you. I’m the type of person who reads the stuff online but won’t contribute whether good or bad. However this time, I think it’s really important to not be passive, please please share your thoughts for all to hear. Get the word around…ya, they got me motivated alright…to shut them down![u][/u] Believe what you want. According to them, I’m creating a story and seeing only what I want to see. I’m not asking you to justify my story. What you think it none of my business. However be open, you don’t know what you don’t know…and if you’re having doubts about this program…you know more than you think you do. Think it through…I’m not your obstacle or your negative support group. Just remember the Nightingale fairy tale.
