This is the only book that est / Werner Erhard tried to stop, in US Federal Court! The suit failed, and the title rocketed to the #2 slot on the New York Times bestseller list, selling more than a million copies!

"est" has now changed its name to "The Landmark Forum", but the message is still the same, and you can get it in this revised edition, at a fraction of the cost for the theatrical experience.

Carl Frederick is an "EST Graduate" and participated in the "EST Graduate Seminar Leader Program." He is not now affiliated in any way with "EST", Werner Erhard, or "The Landmark Forum", and no endorsement of this book or the message it contains, by any of the above parties, is intended or implied

What On Earth Is Happening?

The truth is that we are experiencing Mother Earth's reaction to our collective human action. You see, the Earth we live on is a living breathing organism, and not a dead mechanism.  Therefore, what you are witnessing right now (an increasing series of violent hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.) are not 'Acts of God' sent down from above, but rather reactions of Mother Earth, sent up from the planet you are now standing on. 

What is a thinking person to do?  Well, simply stated, we all now have to 'face the music.'  And in order to learn how to do that, each one of us needs to 'turn pro' and pro-ceed to work on developing a character which has the courage to observe what is happening, and come to know in our hearts that "In the long (barrel) run, the inclusive (implosive) power of the free spirit will always over-come (or, over-run) the exclusive (explosive!) power of the gun."

Which means: "Do the next right thing, and carry on!"

"It is the spirit within that lives forever; my body and mind [aka: ego] are doomed."

Carl Frederick
