Author Topic: Songs used in Seminars (Read 4603 times)

Anonymous · « **on:** October 24, 2006, 02:38:44 AM »

I sort of had a strange compulsion to listen to some of those seminar songs again. It takes me back there and helps me deal with some of the bullshit in a strange way. Anyone else ever do this? Most of the songs are absolutely atrocious, of course; it's done purely for anti-seminar purposes of trying to get myself back to that place so I can remember things I want to remember and think about all the shit that happened there.

I can only remember five, and I hope people can help me remember what other ones they use.

The ones I remember:

John Denver - Sweet Surrender
Cyndi Lauper - True Colors
Eagles - Desperado
Cher - Believe
Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy.

A funny list already, and I'm sure it'll only get funnier if anyone can help me out.

Also, if you at Spring Creek from Spring 1999 to January 2000 speak up and say hello.

David Lanz - Cristofori's Dream

this one took me a while to find... the first time i heard it tripped me out. this is the song gilcrease (and the others) would play when you had to come in and sit down and you were all supposed to be seated by the time the song ended. :-?

For your information: The Landre Foundation sold a CD with all of the Seminar music on it. The songs supposedly were sung by kids in the program facilities.

I too reminesce when I hear a song from the Seminars. It reminds me how thoroughly duped I was.

I remind myself the music was created for a better purpose than Resource Realization Seminars. The music played repeatedly was all part of the brain wash process. It still works as we can attest to.

Wouldn't it be great if the owners of the rights to those songs could be persuaded to tell Gilcrease to cease and desist and then sue the crap out of him if he didn't?

As it is, RIAA can sue him if he's not paying them royalties, since it amounts to an unauthorized performance. I don't much like RIAA, but wouldn't it be nice?

yeah, the song he used for sitting down was the theme from 2001: a space odyssey.

they do have a bizarre sort of emotional brainwashing. mix a lack of sleep and lack of food with the hope of advancement, some songs, emotional troubles, and a lot of other people ready at hand to pick apart your faults, and you have a gilcrease seminar.

The line that gets me is 'Hey-teacher, leave those kids alone!'. My sister is a teacher-a good one. I wouldn't dignify Gilcrease, Pullan or any of the others with the title, even if they have a certificate from somewhere (I think Manning-is that her name? does.

Of all the musicians listed here, Pink Floyd would be absolutely enraged to see his music misused like that. Is it still being used today?

Would a Pink Floyd fan please step up to the plate and give some good contact info for him or his lawyers, so the person who was subjected to it in some hellhole can tell him about it?

true colors stands out the most in my mind. i don't remember any songs from the wall being used though. during one process when everyone in our group had to pretend to be swans or storks or whatever from jonathan livingston seagull.. oh.. we were supposed to be seagulls so we tore up a bunch of notebook paper to make feathers and then danced around the room to true colors like idiots.. and everyone loved it. by that time in the seminar it was like everyone was three year olds at kindergarten or something... think happy thoughts!

We got it, we got it!!!! Anyway, I don't remember any songs whatsoever. I'm not even sure if we sung any songs or even had any music period? Maybe hypnosis nature sound stuff?

? But, we are talking 89-90!
