Yeah, sounds good to me. I certainly got a great charge out of the last HUNA workshop in Atlanta, and am looking forward to this one. Your job in life is to change yourself, not change others. Why? Cos you don't have jurisdiction over others, that's why.

I have no attraction whatsoever to cults that try to control their membership in various ways, blatant or subtle. I avoid such people. I like my independence and I intend to maintain it.

On the other hand, if I want to learn to play a challenging guitar technique I would seek out the best teacher I could find and learn form him/her. Same goes for spiritual disciplines and techniques like meditation, HUNA, tai chi, and so on. You learn from those who have more experience than you do. That's the way to go. But if they try to take over your life and make your decisions for you, you say, "Hasta la vista, baby!" I've met a few like that... :-) I think such people have a serious ego problem...they have difficulty controlling themselves in some way, so they opt to control others. That's not healthy.
