I was trying to be honest. I actually do have a bit of trouble with comprehension sometimes. And M can be confounding sometimes. However, I have printed out and enjoyed all the trainings so far. Currently am reading the Arundel one. I love the anecdotes and stories and feel that he's quite sincere about what he's trying to achieve. Excellence in team work is absolutely essential for a positive outcome of any chosen project - just ask my band!
Judging the trainings by only seeing what M said is like trying to make sense of a phone call when you can only hear one person talking. Impossible. But that said, yea, he gives them stick. Just seeing his outburts on their own makes them seem, well, dispreportionally one sided.
But being strong, the leader has to be. It's the same as any training situation, the first rule is...be straight talking with the trainees. I would have been saddened and disillusioned if I had seen M being Mr sugar and sweet, pouring false and flattering confidences onto the participants. That would have been a great worry. I have been in circumstances similar to the trainings with him and watched him roast people. Found it highly amusing because he was listening to such utter crap from them and his answers were totally appropriate for that situation. So no, the trainings didn't alter my image of him. I'm sure the people at Deca saw similar behaviour - when your team is working on a jetliner, you don't arse about, one misplaced bolt can mean life or death.
It's important to remember that many complete idiots became pwk, people with serious agendas and ambitions which had nothing in common with enjoying K or helping spread it around. These people are useless for such teams and I believe should be rightly weeded out. That's all a training is about, bringing the right people up to scratch and getting rid of the unsuitable ones.
Some people thought they were attending an inspiring spiritual awareness primer that would leave them high and mighty, perhaps.
They got a shock!
.......
Just saw the news of the shooting of Dimebag Darrel (lead guitarist with Pantera). Bloody hell, some mindless fuck decides Darrel was responsible for breaking up the band so he walks onstage and shoots him dead.
That's the kind of shit I worry about in today's world, not people like M who are trying to focus on the beneficial effects of self awareness in the individual.
