=est Training=Lynne Twist on her experiences with
est training :Everybody has milestones and epiphanies. Mine came in the
EST training which I took in1974 withWerner Erhard . It just revolutionized my life. I really came to understand that I could turn my life over to making a difference. That experience led me to be in the right place at the right time whenThe Hunger Project was born. I heardWerner Erhard say for the first time at a big meeting that he was taking a stand to end world hunger. My whole body started to shake, and I knew that that was why I was born, that that was what I came here to do. It was impractical because I was a very busy young mother, but it was a calling so remarkable that I could not deny it, and so I went with it. That's what theEST training did for me...What was almost a split personality, between my spiritual path and my more public path, became one. I became fearless about living authentically after theEST training . ThenThe Hunger Project gave me the platform to express it.
