책임을 철저히 수용함으로써 회복과 삶의 개선에 헌신하는 영적이진 않아도 강력한 또 다른 프로그램을 입증해준 것은 측정 수준400의 EST(Erhard Seminars Training)였다. EST기법은 무책임과 끊임없이 직면시키거나 혹은 모든 구실과 합리화, 책임회피를 무효로 만드는 것이었다.

Erhard Seminars Training (est), an organization founded by Werner H. Erhard, offered a two-weekend (60-hour) course known officially as "The est Standard Training". The purpose of est  was "to transform one's ability  to experience living so that the situations one had been trying to change or had been putting up with, clear up just in the process of life itself."^[2][3] The est  training was offered from late 1971 to late 1984.

- 에르하트 세미나 트레이닝은 2주 60시간 프로그램

- EST 트레이닝의 목적은  사람의 삶의 경험에 대한 능력을 바꾸는데 있음. 그래서 변화를 시도하는 상화이나 삶 자체의 과정에서 정화하고 끌어 올리게 함. 

Training[edit]

The est Standard Training program consisted of two weekend-long workshops with evening sessions on the   

intervening weekdays, as well as each Wednesday night. Workshops generally involved about two hundred 

participants and were led by a trainer designated by Erhard and several assistants. Over the course of nine days, participants were cajoled, shouted at, and emotionally battered, until they agreed they had finally "got it" - a state akin to a religious conversion. Participants were instructed not to wear watches, not to talk unless permitted by the trainer, not to leave their seats, not to eat, and not to go to the bathroom except during breaks separated by many hours.^[4]

- 워크샵은 200여명 참가자가 에르하트와 그의 보조자들에 의해 고안된 트레이너에 의해서 진행됨. 

- 9일의 코스를 넘어서면서 참가자들은 그들이 완전히 포기하고 받아들일때까지(got it), 유도되고, 소리치고 감정적으로 혼남. 종교적 혼란...

- 참가자들은 시계를 차지 않음. 앉는 것이 허용되지 않음. 

The seminar aimed to enable participants to shift their contextual state of mind around which their life was organized from the attempt to get satisfaction or to survive, to an experience of actually being satisfied and experiencing oneself as whole and complete in the present moment. The est training offered people the opportunity to free themselves from the past, rather than living a life enmeshed by their past.^[5]In her book, I, Rhoda, the Emmy-winning actress Valerie Harper reported, "Est was a wonderfully empowering experience for me. It took a lot of struggle and conflict out of my day-to-day decision-making and helped me imbue my life with more focus and intention. ... I was happier, more alive, and everything seemed lighter."^[6]

The first est course was held at the Jack Tar Hotel in San Francisco, California, in October 1971. Within a year, trainings were being held inNew York City and other major cities in the United States followed soon after.

Beginning in July 1974 the est training was delivered at the U.S. Penitentiary at Lompoc, California, with the approval of Federal Bureau of Prisons.^[7][8][9] Initial est training in Lompoc involved participation of 12-15 federal prisoners and outside community members within the walls of the maximum security prison and was personally conducted by Werner Erhard. Among the participants were the mayor of the city ofLompoc and imprisoned political activist Matthew Steen, a Weatherman convicted of federal conspiracy.^[9]

By 1979 est had expanded to Europe and other parts of the world. In 1980 the first est training in Israel was offered in Tel Aviv.^[10]

The last est training was held in December 1984 in San Francisco; in its place came a newly developed course called "The Forum", which began in January 1985. The est training presented several concepts, most notably the concept of transformation and taking responsibility for one's life. The actual teaching, called "the technology of transformation", emphasizes the value of integrity.^[11] "est, Inc." evolved into "est, an Educational Corporation", and eventually into "Werner Erhard & Associates". In 1991 the business was sold to the employees who formed a new company called Landmark Education with Erhard's brother, Harry Rosenberg, becoming the CEO.^[12] Landmark Education was structured as a for-profit, employee-owned company; it operates with a consulting division called Vanto Group.^[13]

Early influences[edit]

In William Bartley's biography of Werner Erhard, Werner Erhard: The Transformation of a Man, the Founding of est (1978), Erhard describes his explorations of Zen Buddhism. Bartley quotes Erhard as acknowledging Zen as the essential contribution that "created the space [for est]".^[1]

Bartley details Erhard's connections with Zen beginning with his extensive studies with Alan Watts in the mid 1960s.^[14] Bartley quotes Erhard as acknowledging:

Of all the disciplines that I studied, practiced, learned, Zen was the essential one. It was not so much an influence on me, rather it created space. It allowed those things that were there to be there. It gave some form to my experience. And it built up in me the critical mass from which was kindled the experience that produced est.^[15]
