wow... its been like 10 years... but let me see if i can shed some light.... lol... day one was beginning or contracts and who you really represented, as well as your dirt list... etc... then at night you had writing assignments (this was every night)... day 2 was partner day trust crap.hiking throught the woods.. and then epitaphs (or what people would say bout you if you were to die) and then laying in a coffin, day 3 was partnering up with the person you hated most, and seeing through other people's eyes how they saw you.... the night time was the raft and other excersises... day 4 was same partners and finding things for a party... and then the party which was a charactor that was suppose to be the most like our actions.... which is where whinnie the pooh, and leah, and skywalker and everything comes from... for me it was oz... and when you hit your charactor, perfectly, then they would lift you through the room as they did after contracts.  Day 5 was graduating the summit, where you were given your contract, and then the key to your life... etc.... "




oh... and i wrote this... joe keuter pg-56 rma, 9june 96 graduation cedu."


Thanks, Joe.  It's Adam Best (PG 61, RMA).  I don't know if you remember me or not.  We got along well at times and butted heads at times also.  Hope all is well with you.

Yeah, I'm writing a play based on RMA in the form of a Summit-like final experience, but I never went through the Summit,  because I was pulled after the Values.  Just trying to dig up as much info as possible.  Any info you or anybody else could give me would be great, but only what you are comfortable giving.  Thanks, I really appreciate your help as well as everyone elses.  Hopefully this will be a faithful and eye-opening piece...

The Summit Tools were as follows:
-They may be Giants
-Peace of mind is my single goal
-love is letting go of fear
-forgiveness is my single function
-This workshop is a true and accurate representation of how you live your life -total and complete acceptance within agreement -All that I give, I give myself -Stop! Look! Choose!
-Get out of your square
-No magic pills
-Do your knowledge
-You are totally responsible
-End results equal original intentions
-The seeds of your future are being planted now -Direct, Hones communication- No rip offs -Be careful! You may just get what you want.
-Surrender!
-"To win... is to be right.  To be right is to have power. To have power is to have control.
To have control is to be safe....->Doesn't even work -I am never upset for the reason I think.
-today I will judge nothing that occurs... judgment = fear -All pain-mental and physical = resistance -feel the feelings and let them pass -get a new idea! Getting a new idea enables growth.
-I am determined to see things (myself) differently -Neighborhoods........  love------ anger ...... weakness------ strength -All resistance must go!
-They are Giants (sign changed from they may be giants) -Teach only love for that is who you are.

Fuckin' a that shit is sick. Thanks for posting that Joe. I was already glad I got pulled right before my Summit, but now I'm thanking God that I was pulled. I seriously can't imagine having been sent back into the world trying to juggle all that bullshit on my mind. Trying to forget about my 'fantastic voyage' was bad enough.

What was the red and green game? That's the one I heard the most stories about.

the red green game was when we broke into 2 groups, and had to basically argue with each other, to win points..the 2 groups were suppose to represent our positive and negative statments.. they told us that to win we basically had to argue until we were able to see each other's points.... but the purpose of the game was to get both groups working together.. which was the point of the 2 groups... to show that you can get your negative and positive statements to work together and work for you... kind of like they did in the I and Me

The Summit! What a damn joke. Your contract. Fuck that. I used to carry around my key whatnot for like 2 years after, but then it dawned on me how much of a crock of shit that was.
