I was reading an article recently about the est founder and first training guru, Werner Erhard. I knew several people personally back in the 1970′s that took the weekend seminars in LA at the closed Ambassador Hotel ballroom.

The people I talked to were all turned on to the training and trying to convince me to sign up. Although curious, I never did, but many baby boomers, thousands actually went through the training.

Now if you had a personal experience with est, how has it affected your life path now? Werner’s goal for his subjects going through the training was to “get it” Did you in fact “get it” and have your still “got it?”

60 Minutes did a feature and interview with Erhard, and he apparently has disappeared out of the mainstream. Is he even alive somewhere, out of the US? Donahue had a few shows featuring him and many celebs such as late John Denver and others took the training and discussed the impact it had on their lives.

Anyone care to comment about est?
