Scientology is a system of beliefs and practices created by American pulp fiction[1][2] and science fiction [3] author L. Ron Hubbard in 1952 as a self-help philosophy. ...

Impressed by Monk's auditing sessions, Erhard delved further into Scientology literature and lessons. Between August and December of 1968, he purchased several books from the San Francisco Scientology office and enrolled both himself and some of his sales employees in the introductory communications course. In October a local Scientology official wrote to Erhard asking him about his interest in joining the staff. Scientology had a place for enthusiastic new converts like Werner Erhard. Although Erhard did not respond to the offer, he continued to study Scientology over the next several months, gradually rising through the various training levels - "grades" in Scientology jargon - that marked the path toward ultimate enlightenment. When a routine letter was sent in August 1969 letting him known that he had passed "Grade II" in his Scientology studies, Erhard immediately responded with his own letter claiming he had reached Grade IV. ^[24].

Later, Erhard incorporated Scientological practices into Erhard Seminars Training: Erhard Seminars Training, or est (always in lower-case), was a controversial New Age large group awareness training (LGAT) seminar program, widespread during the 1970s. ...

Still enamored of the Scientology practice of auditing, Erhard had incorporated Scientology's confessional practice into est's "consulting services group" that had been patterned after Hubbard's teams of auditors and organized as a separate branch of est. Under the overall supervision of Bob Larzelere, all est consultants had received extensive training in the Scientology practice of confessional auditing sessions in which the consultant (or auditor, in the case of Scientology) asked a series of questions designed to elicit frank responses on topics ranging from personal matters and job satisfaction to loyalty to Erhard. ^[25]

Revelation

Erhard reported having had a revelation while driving on U.S. Route 101 in Marin County, California in 1971. He started to see the world as perfect "the way it is" and reported an insight that his attempts to change or modify either his physical circumstances or his mental outlook had their basis in a conception of the world (that it should differ from "the way it is") that precluded or at least limited one's experiential and creative appreciation of it.

We waited in the lobby and a guy who looked like Richard Gere in a jump suit walks in with a woman. He says: "Hi, I'm Werner Erhard." I had never heard of the guy. I said, "What do you do?" Werner replied: "I make people happy." I thought, "Why am I wasting time with this yo yo?" and, hoping to make a quick exit, said in a sassy Damon Runyon manner, "Oh yeah, I think you must be some kind of an asshole!" Werner's face became positively radiant and he cracked a Mephistophelian smile embraced me saying: "I will give you money when you come to San Francisco." I was taken aback by an unexpected offer I could not refuse...Werner then outlined his plan for me to set up a sort of Ghost Busters team of physicists to research psychic phenomena and in his words "the physics of consciousness".

Erhard formed the opinion that death by starvation occurred not because of lack of food to feed all those who suffered from chronic hunger. Instead he blamed the context in which people viewed and interacted with chronic hunger. That context, he said, consisted of a closely-held belief (or discourse, or conversation) that saw hunger as inevitable, a context of scarcity that governed all the interactions and fixes currently applied by those then attempting to fix the problem.

Abuse allegations

Werner Erhard on Larry King Live, (Transcript)December 20, 1993

In Outrageous Betrayal, Steven Pressman recounts how incest allegations against Werner Erhard made on CBS television's 60 Minutes program in March 1991 came from Deborah Rosenberg, the youngest child from Erhard/Rosenberg's first marriage ^[36] . Deborah Rosenberg's allegations of molestation and rape also appeared in print in an article ^[37] in the San Francisco Chronicle. Another daughter, Celeste Erhard, subsequently stated that third parties tricked her into exaggerating spicy details about her father's alleged behavior (she and another sister had made allegations of domestic violence against her father on 60 Minutes, not about incest or rape). Celeste Erhard said that the media had told her that the articles and her appearance on 60 Minutes aimed to get publicity for a book ^[38].

In the Stephanie Ney court case of 1992 (resulting from Ney's participation in "the Forum") a U.S. court in a default judgment ordered Werner Erhard (in absentia) to pay more than $500,000 in damages for "mental injuries" ^[42] .

However, nobody has ever substantiated Welkos's opinion. On the other hand — and to argue just as negatively — nobody has refuted Welkos's journalistic judgment.

For whatever reason, Erhard sold up and left the United States, resurfacing later in El Salvador, the Soviet Union, Ireland and the Cayman Islands. A subsequent report implied that he feared physical harm in the United States due to Scientology's Fair Game policy.

Landmark Education registered the separate address "werner-erhard.com" at Network Solutions and provided the initial content of the new web-pages from its own site.

Financial ties to Landmark Education

Landmark Education states that its programs have as their basis ideas originally developed by Erhard, but that Erhard has no financial interest, ownership, or management role in Landmark Education. ^[47] . Arthur Schreiber's declaration of 3 May 2005 states: May 3 is the 123rd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (124th in leap years). ...

"Landmark Education has never paid Erhard under the license agreements (he assigned his rights to others). ^[48]

In Stephanie Ney v. Landmark Education Corporation (1994) ^[49] , the courts determined that Landmark Education Corporation did not have successor-liability to Werner Erhard & Associates, the corporation whose assets Landmark Education purchased.

As of 1998, Erhard's financial ties to Landmark Education consisted of a licensing fee, and a license to what Landmark Education refers to as "technology" that would have reverted back to Erhard in 2009: 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ...

On January 31, 1991, Werner Erhard signed a twenty-one-page sales contract that officially turned over the assets of Werner Erhard and Associates to the new owners, who called their company Transnational Education Corporation. Shortly after, the name changed again, this time to Landmark Education Corporation.

The carefully worded contract provided Erhard with a $3 million payment, with the cash provided by a $300,000 deposit and the eventual sale of two pieces of valuable real estate the company owned in California's Sonoma County and upstate New York. Landmark Education further agreed to pay Erhard a long-term licensing fee for the material used in the Forum and other courses.

Cayman Islands

Currently, Gonneke Spits lives ^[56] with Erhard in Georgetown, Cayman Islands: George Town, Grand Cayman is the capital of the Cayman Islands, in the British West Indies. ...

Though his whereabouts have been shrouded in mystery since 1991, it turns out that Erhard has been living at least part of the time in Georgetown, the capital of the Cayman Islands, with Gonneke Spits, his assistant during his encyclopedia-selling days and later a key executive in est. Changing his surname yet again -- he goes by Werner Spits -- Erhard has joined an eating club called Chaîne des Rotisseurs, which holds formal themed dinners several times a year. One eleven-course feast (roasted squab, peaches in chartreuse jelly) re-created the last dinner on the Titanic. ^[57]

On April 6, 2006, Art Schreiber wrote a letter to the Cayman Net News of the Cayman Islands in response to an article about Werner Erhard that claimed Erhard currently lives in Georgetown, Cayman Islands: April 6 is the 96th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (97th in leap years). ... 2006 (MMVI) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Art Schreiber apparently hopes to mislead readers of Cayman Net News by parsing his language carefully. Werner Erhard was last reported to be living in George Town by New York Magazine in 2001. Perhaps Schreiber avoids this fact by saying Erhard isn’t really the “founder of Landmark.” But in fact Erhard sold the company EST in 1992, which eventually would come to be known as Landmark Education. Landmark is run by Harry Rosenberg, the brother of Erhard, formerly known as Jack Rosenberg. Schreiber and Landmark sued me, but ended up dismissing their own lawsuit rather than submit to further open discovery.

Characterizing Rosenberg/Erhard

Given Rosenberg/Erhard's various activities, people characterize him primarily in sharply different ways. Some dismiss him as a "car salesman" or more generically as a "salesman" ^[61] . Others emphasise his continuing commercial success and describe him as a "businessman" ^[62] . Est-advocates in the heyday of that organization came to regard "Werner" as "Source" ^[63] . Some detractors emphasized his background as an ex-Scientologist ^[64] , or labelled him a "guru" ^[65] or a "cult leader" ^[66] . Evaluating Erhard within the context of the self-help movement, Steve Salerno sees him as: A businessman (sometimes businesswoman, female; or businessperson, gender neutral) is a generic term for a wide range of people engaged in profit-oriented enterprises, generally the management of a company. ... A Scientologist is a believer in Scientology. ... Though the term self-help can refer to any case whereby an individual or a group betters themselves economically, intellectually or emotionally, the connotations of the phrase have come to apply particularly to psychological or psychotherapeutic nostrums, often purveyed through the popular genre of the self-help book. ...

too flaky [...] to capture the popular imagination. ^[67]

Attempts such as that of McCarl et al ^[68] to associate the name of Werner Erhard with philosophy have not yet succeeded in making him part of the philosophical mainstream. His small body of written thought, such as the terse Aphorisms booklet (If God Had Meant Man to Fly, He Would Have Given Him Wings; or: Up to Your Ass in Aphorisms), once distributed to est-students, have had resonance mainly in New-Age circles. Some have come to stress his role as an "educator" (see a previous version of this article in Wikipedia).
