	Human Potential Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Human Potential Movement came out of the social and intellectual milieu of the 1960s and was formed to promote the cultivation of extraordinary potential believed to be largely untapped in most people.
		The movement is premised on the belief that through the development of human potential, humans can experience an exceptional quality of life filled with happiness, creativity, and fulfillment.
		The movement is sometimes considered to be under the broader umbrella of the New Age movement.

	CANA - Human Potential/Motivational Training
		The Human Potential Movement and related teachings are based on human-centered psychology; on beliefs that one is in complete control of one’s destiny and that one deserves worldly success; and on Eastern/New Age/occult teachings about the self and the world.
		One of the archetypes of the human potential business today was est, founded by Werner Erhard (not his real name), who based his concepts on Eastern beliefs and on teachings from the Church of Scientology.
		Some human potential and motivational groups are secretive about their teachings and methods, use humiliation and mind manipulation on attendees, and require attendees to recruit others.

	The Failure of the Human Potential Movement: From Self-Actualization to Experintialism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Furthermore, the movement can not be expected to embrace younger generations of forward thinking individuals, for the canonization of the movement's golden age has already passed, which means its legends and myths are now considered holy, untouchable or impregnable to onslaughts of new ideas or new blood from younger generations.
		The empowerment or potentiality of humanity has gone through several ups and downs over the last few hundred years, with low points found in totalitarian regimes and Behaviorism, where sentient beings are reduced to social machines to be manipulated for the benefit of the masters, all in the name of alleged social science.
		The sad thing about our reverence for movements and institutions is that we exalt their importance far beyond what they deserve, for various reasons, including the fame and popularity of the movement, the air of sacredness surrounding the faith, and a fear of alienation should we question the authority of the faith.

	Mental Help Net - Perspectives - Vol. 1, No. 6 - Language In The Human Potential Movement
		One of the major characteristics of the human potential movement has been a strong tendency to use language in a loose and generous manner.
		It was partially in response to this rather dry road that the human potential movement reacted so strongly against any tendency to precision in language.
		The great stress in the modern feminist movement on changing our use of such terms as 'mankind', 'he', 'his', etc. demonstrates that the proponents of such changes believe that there is such an effect.

	Theology Today - Vol 33, No. 3 - October 1976 - ARTICLE - The Human Potential Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Human Potential Movement with its emphasis on a psychoreligious conversion does not go far enough in confronting the challenge of salvaging human relationships from the shipwreck of contemporary society, and it also runs the risk of providing an answer that is more alarming than the dilemma itself.
		The Human Potential Movement may very well serve as a prod to the established churches to appreciate the greater spiritual needs of their parishioners, just as the Great Awakening of the eighteenth century held up to the face of the American Protestant clergy the mirror of their own feckless orthodoxy.
		Still, instead of exiling the Human Potential Movement from the Kingdom, pastors might be well advised to accept it as a voice of the afflicted and to recognize that it has sought to confirm the inner life in a way which formal worship often has not.

		We had recently done a human potentials workshop at his school, the sort of event that Rogers later characterized by the term "the person-centered approach." The idea was to try to help friars get beyond their friarhood and students their studenthood—to turn them all into persons and all therefore equally available one to the other.
		It was among Anglo-Catholics in a human potentials workshop at Grace Episcopal Cathedral in San Francisco that fall.
		Human potentialism was (and remains) a social trend, a fashion.

		Such weakness is disguised by the apparent success of the public relations exercises by which the reports are launched, the manner in which they are briefly taken up by parliaments, universities and the media, and the implementation of a few of their non-controversial recommendations from what was conceived as an integrated package.
		Such reports, in appealing to those who place great hope in simple answers (eg "cooperation" or "total disarmament"), fail to internalize the significance of other simplistic positions by which their implementation must necessarily be frustrated, as the historical record has repeatedly shown.
		It is for this reason that greater stress has been placed on the potential of metaphors as a largely unexplored resource that appears to offer a more accessible way forward.

		Some in the Human Potential Movement such as R.D. Laing and William Schutz believed that if madness and psychosis was the only way to accomplish this, then it is to be viewed as merely a step in this process.
		The 1973 Humanist Manifesto said that the source of values was human existence, that ethics are autonomous and situational (Values Relativity), that life has meaning because we create and develop our futures, that if there is any significance to life and history it is only due to the significance we give it.
		Humans, as the source and centre of meaning, become a manifestation of deity, when inflated to the cosmic level.

		California's status as the hub of the human potential movement was further enhanced when Carl Rogers moved to La Jolla in 1964, writing and lecturing at the Western Behavioral Science Institute and later at the Center for Studies of the Person.
		Beyond this, the legacy of the human potential movement can be seen in the continuing popularity of self-improvement workshops and books and even in the recent proliferation of 12-step groups, as well as in the many ways its values and principles continue to influence the professional work of therapists with a variety of orientations.

		Since the Religious Movements Homepage seeks to promote religious tolerance and appreciation of the positive benefits of pluralism and religious diversity in human cultures, we encourage the use of alternative concepts that do not carry implicit negative stereotypes.
		It seems the popularity of the human potential movement, which holds high the idea that each person has a spark of the divinity in them, continues unabated.
		It also seems as if a large portion of the population is willing to pay in order to discover their "core potential." Life Spring seminars cost $450 in 1984, further training seminars cost upwards of $750.

	Changing the World (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Recently I was contacted by someone in the "human potential movement" about endorsing or even starting a local version of their organization (they were looking for a "prominent Objectivist" to provide an endorsement, which I found amusing since I feel I'm neither prominent nor an Objectivist).
		While I am a fervent advocate of human potential, I don't want to be involved in any movement to realize it, since that realization is in all cases individual.
		Movements need to a reason for being, which I've found is usually a claim that the world is going to hell in a handbasket and therefore we need to change the world in a hurry or else we'll all be doomed.

		In the terms of certain traditions of human development, it is the dualism of these polarities which has to be transcended in our understanding.

		Mashiyach Ministries has received considerable criticism from secular and Christian religious movement researchers, both for its roots in the New Age human potential group Lifespring, and for its assumptions and practices that critics say are contrary to social and mental health and to sound biblical principles of discipleship and personal growth.
		As noted, the history of Mashiyach Ministries goes back to the human potential group Lifespring, and its founder, John Hanley, Daniel Tocchini explains that he became a Christian in 1979, shortly before he became a Lifespring instructor from 1981 to 1988.

		The goal then becomes to achieve this infinite potential through self-awareness, self-development, etc. In the last 40 years this movement has gone through three distinct phases or waves, of increasing complexity and maturity.
		What sets this third wave apart from the previous waves is a new understanding of what a complete human being is. We now have a much more complete, integrated and all-inclusive Big Picture of the entire spectrum of human consciousness than at any other time in the history of our species.
		This is a spectacular ongoing project, somewhat similar to the 'Human Genome Project', except its purpose is to map all the states, structures, types, levels, stages and waves of human consciousness, change and transformation, available to men and women.
