The Curriculum for Life and World Transformation

The Radical Honesty workshops were created by Dr. Brad Blanton, Ph.D.. The course curriculum for life and world transformation follows a natural pattern of progression and training. The workshops teach you to rely on noticing, rather than thinking, as the basis for getting grounded in your experience and creating real intimacy. The Curse in Honesty training provides for you the experience and the tools to go out into the world and sustain ongoing transformation. It also includes training in how to utilize your mind in a new capacity, by designing your life consciously from your vision. The Trainer's Training gives you concrete experience in actively coaching others, and developing more distinctions as a noticer, while consciously creating your life.

The New Radical Honesty 3 Day-Intensive Workshop

You are, unfortunately, probably a civilized neurotic person, which means you are crazy and participating in a form of insanity that is killing the earth, making yourself unnecessarily unhappy and others miserable. For the sake of your happiness and the salvation of the world we have created this, 3-day, pain in the ass but funny, intensive training program, to screw up your, & everyone else's hypocritical deadly misery-making lifestyle with another, lighter, more fun, less murderous but still less than perfect lifestyle.

Even though, as these things go, this workshop is a hell of a good bargain, you should probably still avoid this discomfort because it is unpleasant, and you will still end up having paid good money to have us upset you, mess up your life and bother the hell out of your friends and family. Here is how we do that. We invite you to spend a long week end (3 days) with us where we focus on embarrassingly and publicly identifying, using you as an example, the specific ways you create your own unhappiness and disappointments by lying through your teeth all the God damned time just the way you have been taught by the sick family and culture you grew up in. You have been in the conspiracy a long time so you don’t even know when you’re lying anymore. Having these interruptions of your lying bullshit done to you and seeing the same thing done with others, your perspective starts to change, and you start to resent what you used to appreciate and appreciate what you used to resent. That screws you up pretty good. But then we teach you not only to not clean up your act the way you thought you needed to, but to clutter it up more instead and to admit to others it is an act, therefore voluntarily screwing up your act! Keep that up and you will definitely lose a few aquaintances. But, what the hell? You might gain some deeper relationships with the few measly friends you have left.

In fact, this whole trip, which we call radical honesty, is the prerequisite for intimacy. Before you can even begin to stumble your way into loving someone and being open and vulnerable with them for a while (and later suffer more because of it), you have to unload or override the cesspool of cultural learning that was the fertilizer of your current way of surviving. You grew up in a God damned kill-for-profit slaughterhouse and you are surrounded by agents who work to maintain the illusion that it’s heaven on earth, and you have suckered for it pathetically. They are just playing like they are your friends, so fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke. Start telling them the truth. Like I said, a few friends worth knowing and loving might tumble out of the pile.

In spite of all that trouble you are in for, if you come to this seminar, we must grudgingly admit, there are a few benefits. This workshop is designed for you to learn how to pay attention to your sensate experiences in the moment, bringing your presence to your present, in order to experience literal sensations in your body with full attention, and let them come and go. When you get good at that you get over things more quickly and efficiently. You lose your mind and come to your senses and then get your mind back and try to make sense out of it. This is valuable because your mind, uninterrupted by that shift of attention to the body, has these habits of holding on to the past, holding grudges, holding out hope, holding yourself up, holding on to other people and other holding patterns of various kinds. These are simply ways you have of hassling yourself and making yourself miserable. This workshop transfers you from the holding cell to the prison yard. Once there you can uncover the roadblocks that are in the way of your personal and professional success, and you might have a half way decent chance for a more exciting, loving, happy and troublesome rather than troubled life.

There is a possibility that your life, 30 days after taking this seminar, will be filled with deep intimacy, full self expression, passionate connections, fewer aquaintances and a whole new set of problems. And, believe it or not, you may discover that honesty is almost always the most potent and compassionate answer to a whole host of questions. After that, when you start believing in honesty, and think you have discovered that, as it turns out, honesty actually is the best policy, and you start acting like you are honest all the time again, just like all those former hypocrites in your world taught you to do in the first place, we will have another workshop to get you over that, and charge you a higher fee for that one!

And you’ll probably pay it! Many people do! Why??? Because they are in love, they laugh, they are more alive and they are happy! They figure if they step outside their mind and say what’s on their mind, that once that happens, maybe if they do it again liberation and contribution and reformation will happen again. They’re right!

It costs you $575.00 for this step by step program, and the descent is difficult. There are lots of other things you could spend that money for. So think about it. Yours truly, Brad Blanton
