Thank you everyone.....

Thank you to everyone whom wished me well with my meet up with my "deceived" friend.
After I did a little working last night and asked my Goddess for help not only for my friend, but for me as well, everything went just as it should. It was interesting and revealed much. She did try very hard to get me to "try" the Forum as she would sponsor me. She also claimed that she didn't know how to answer some of my questions which was a cop out because they were easy and based on her experience. Sadly, she is pretty far gone in certain areas of reality, as I found out she is much more deeply involved than she first told me. I gently proposed subjective outside reality based questions to her and ideas and a couple of times she got real resistant and called me resistant just because of a gentle realistic comment. That told me she is definitely brain-washed.

However, there is a bright side. Even with the facts above I still think there are things I may learn from her as a person. She did get transparent with me (as much as I could expect) and we are going to remain friends. I tested that by mentioning to her that I would want a friendship not based on Landmark. She almost took offense at that and let me know. (I didn't tell her that I was actually glad she almost took offense. It showed that there is still a tiny thread of hope). All is well. :)

For me, I have work to do regarding how I view my "gifts". (I still have trouble calling them that with confidence, but that's precisely the first thing I'm working on). It's time for me to do that as my Goddess told me, "it's time". What ever that means, I'm sure I will find out when I'm supposed to. She showed me a portion of the work (only the bits I am to know for now) which totally satisfied me and all I have to do is my work and just resist analyzing it and just follow her lead, trust it and flow with it. If I do that I will end up helping my friend.
I'm happy to report that the work has already begun and I'm actually enjoying it. I'm finding it very interesting.:)

Again, thank you all for your support.

Best wishes to you and your friend. Maybe all hope hasn't been lost, and I'm sure you'll be there for her if she ever wants it.

Wishing you luck and happiness too. :)

I wish you the belssings of the Goddess, and I am glad that she has you for a frind. I hope she knows that when the lights come on, and her eyes see this orgaanization for what it really is, that she knows she can turn to you to get herself back. I'm sorry if that didn't make any sence.

at least she isnt completely gone yet, just do what you can for her :hugz:

That makes perfect sense. You get it. Thank you.
Yes, the friendship will grow in whatever way it's supposed to and last as long as it's meant to last. A few weeks, a few months, a few years, whatever. Who knows if she will ever wake up or if it will be too late when she does. It doesn't matter, I'll be there if she wants me to be there or unless she just completely goes over the edge or does something unethical.
I think she will be generally ok except for the chance that she will end up constantly setting herself up to get hurt more and more.
