"Making God Swallow His Laughter"
A NEW PERSPECTIVE OF THE GOALS OF
L. RON HUBBARD, THE MAN
by Scott Mayer
Introduction
In the pages of a little-known
interview with an anonymous person, who allegedly read the manuscripts
of the legendary "Excalibur", by Lafayette Ron Hubbard, taken
circa December, 1985, there are revealed some interesting thoughts,
allegedly originated by L. Ron, which I believe are keys to understanding
the true intentions of the person Scientologists throughout the world
consider "Source" for the only technology of the mind they
consider capable of freeing their immortal soul and uplifting them to
the status of superior human beings with god-like spiritually generated
powers.
These viewpoints bear no
relationship whatsoever to the Dorian interviews, or the work on closed
electronic biological circuits and the effects of the e-meter, other
than to set forth a hypothesis as to why these things apparently occurred.
As Hubbard, or Dorian through Hubbard, said in Logic 15. The introduction
of an arbitrary into a problem or solution invites the further introduction
of arbitraries into problems and solutions. I think that lies about
the way things really are can be considered to be arbitraries. They
can be something on the order of: Well, if there is really no god or
creator, and the wondrousness of infinitely unfolding universes are
merely the result of a chaotic cosmic fart. Then we can do or say anything
we want, so long as we're smart enough to get away with it. So we justify
lying, and then we need more and more lies to cover the first one and
since the first snake potion killed a few people, inadvertently, of
course, we add a few things to it to reduce the effects, etc., etc.,
etc, ad adsurdum.
That Scientology claims
that Mr. Hubbard was a brilliant man, and a prolific writer has never,
to my knowledge been actively disputed. Whether he was a brilliant criminal,
or humanitarian is what remains arguendo. As late as 1994, even a critic
with the Washington Post, described him as brilliant. Although, many
attack Mr. Hubbard's character with accusations that he was a psychotic
con-man, such attempts to stereotype him, and literary critic's caustic
remarks as to the quality of his "science fiction" works,
do little to disguise the fact that he was, indeed a brilliant person
and prolific writer and came very close to buffaloing an entire world..
There is, however, little
mention of what drove Hubbard to do the things he did, and to what end
his greatest story ever, the creation of Dianetics and Scientology were
intended. The following excerpts from the above-mentioned interview
regarding the Excalibur Manuscripts, may indeed provide us with insight
into the inner workings of a mind capable of creating so many volumes
of literature regarding the salvation of souls and creation of super-beings
on Planet Earth with, I might add, so little scientifically demonstrable
results.
THE EXCERPTS
Excerpts from an interview
of a person who purportedly actually read the entirety of L. Ron Hubbard's
"EXCALIBUR", in 1984 recently came into my possession. The
excerpts were so startling to me that I agreed to enter this contest
because I felt that some new light could be shed about Mr. Hubbard's
real intentions towards the human race, and serve to take some of the
mystery out of what Hubbard's "Tech" was designed to accomplish
In Actuality, as opposed to the Reality submitted by adherents to the
cult.
The first excerpt that
drew my attention was allegedly a quote by Mr. Hubbard: "FEAR--NO
FEAR, TWO STATES, YOU ARE EITHER IN OR OUT". Interesting, especially
in relation to the "Emotional Tone Scale" One might also wonder
where the missing tone scale item "LOVE" would fall in relation
to fear and no fear. Is love merely an aspect of "Serenity of Beingness?"
Could one experience serenity of beingness without also engaging in
the act of unconditional love? Points to ponder! Hold those thoughts
as we explore such matters in relation to being in fear or out of fear.
Could Diane tics and Scientology have been attempts by Hubbard to conquer
fear? Serenity implies total peace with not only one's self, but with
all that is, which, of course, would be the creator (or "true"
source) of all-that-is. It would seem that "freedom from"
implies an opposite polarity of "freedom to." Would that be
freedom from fear? Accompanied therewith by "Serenity of Beingness
and unconditional love, which would certainly be higher than conditional
love on an arbitrary scale of awareness. Doesn't conditional imply an
exchange? What need for an exchange, unless there is a fear of not receiving
mutual consideration in the giving and receiving of Love? Wait a minute!
isn't there an "Axiom" that relates to this? Let's see, No,
its one of the original "Factors", Factor No. 29, from Scientology
08 "The book of basics. p. 24, on "Havingness". "In
life experience, matter becomes havingness." "Observation"
"To a thetan, ANYTHING is better than nothing." Later, this
early axiom evolved into the Factors and Axioms of Scientology. We hear
in the recording the late Yvonne Gillham produced for Ron Hubbard, the
following:
"In the opinion of
the viewpoint, any beingness, any thing is better than no thing, any
effect is better than no effect, any universe better than no universe,
any particle better than no particle, but the particle of admiration
is best of all."
Yvonne, the actual founder
of Scientology's "Celebrity Center" was one of the most loving,
peaceful, gentle, spiritually aware, person I have ever known in my
life. Her character alone, spoke volumes of what an enlightened mind
was capable of manifesting in the form of unconditional love and compassion
for the human race. Her instant acknowledgment of the beingness of the
person approaching her with a communication seemed to me to be the epitome
of what Hubbard was described in the matters covered in the basic communications
course. A person just knew that if they could duplicate Yvonne's manner
in dealing with people that they would have mastered the art of communication.
Strangely, I never experienced that feeling with Mr. Hubbard. My impression
in both written and personal communication with him was that that all
he was interested in was being acknowledged as "Source'" and
worshipped by you. His personal communications never, ever left me with
that warm, wondrous "feeling" inside that I experienced with
Yvonne. That feeling that here was a being that truly loved all of mankind.
I wonder if Hubbard really knew the value of Yvonne. It was impossible
to stand in Yvonne's aura without knowing that if a person of this character
could support the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard, then you, despite any
nagging questions, knew that you were indeed on the right track toward
spiritual fulfillment. So reader, If Affinity, obviously a component
of "Love", is the most valued particle of all, implying action
and activity exchanged by and between thetans, why is it strangely absent
from the Emotional Tone Scale? Why is it not ever pursued in a discourse
on components of "Serenity of Beingness, or discourses on the 2nd
dynamic, or the importance of loving and the practice of unconditional
love in Third Dynamic Groups, or as part of the Sixth Dynamic, Survival
as a Spirit? Wouldn't it seem that if the MOST VALUED particle in the
physical universe, being "Affinity" would be the part and
parcel subject of the process of enlightening oneself from "Homo
Novis" (ordinary man), to "Homo Superior" wouldn't one's
education include not only the importance of loving, but the technical
balance between superior ability and living an ethical life? Do we just
not possess enough data at this point to explain the strange absence
of these issues from "Standard Tech" as issued by "Source".
How indeed, does fear and no fear relate to one's ability to love unconditionally?
Frankly, I'm a three time
loser in the marriage department. I can tell you now, with utmost certainty,
how not to have a marriage work. And I can tell you with total certainty
that nothing I learned in Scientology ever taught me how to be a good
husband and create a wonderful marriage. I place absolutely no blame
on any of my three wives. Were they each as clear about life, livingness
and loving as I was ignorant, they each in their own hearts know where
I went wrong. I, although mistakenly, believed that in listening to
Mr. Hubbard's "greatest challenge" tape, that I could learn
how to unconditionally love others, in spite of reasons not to. It never
occurred to me that such knowledge would not be part and parcel of becoming
an OT. That promise was never realized during my tenure in Scientology.
What I have since learned has been through coming to an understanding
of my personal relationship with the father/creator and the teachings
of his son, Yashua, or Jesus, the Christ, as popular Christianity speaks
of him (Which, of course, is as a subject, in itself, worthy of further
analysis if one is to come to realistic terms with one's own spirituality.
We're it true that Hubbard's teaching's were able to resolve difficulties
with unconditional love, I believe that not only would Yvonne Gillham
be alive today, but the rift between David Miscavige's mother law and
my personal friend, Flo Barnett, would not have resulted in her shooting
herself five times in the chest with a shotgun on the eve of confessing
crimes allegedly committed by David Miscavige and his minions to the
authorities. What discipline she must have had to have been able to
pull the trigger on a shotgun 5 times into her own chest, while obviously
not flat on OT III. (Freedom from overwhelm).
Are we really so sure that
Scientology processing is complete? If the road to clear and OT and
OT VIII demonstrate results that lead to suicides by parishioners in
not just a few, but in cases which exceed hundreds?
Where in Dianetic or Scientology
processing has the concept of unconditional loving gone so far a-field
as to bring the every day parishioner to accept the excuse that nothing
within the boundaries of medical standards of care, were necessary obligations
of the Church to carry out, because it was obviously the fault of the
parishioner that they had pulled in life threatening illnesses and really
wanted an "EOC" (End of Cycle) from responsibility to their
current "meat bodies".
Can the reader even imagine
what would occur in the medical fields practiced by mere "WOGS"
should a doctor turn his back on a patient, shrug his shoulders and
state: "its their own fault, they pulled it in, it's their Karma.
Why should I waste my time trying to help someone who obviously is not
responsible enough to get the proper auditing to take care of this?'
I just cannot see Sally
Chaleff, another jewel of a person, who was allowed to die without treatment
for her cancer, nor Phoebe Mauer, nor Christopher Penny, nor Ed Brewer
or Lisa McPherson, any of these persons deliberately ending cycle by
refusing medical treatment. It is obvious that those who could have
intervened, didn't, because they were numbed by their beliefs in the
efficacy of Scientology treatment, to the suffering of those who were
obviously not in possession of the abilities promised by Ron Hubbard
and his Gradation Chart.
Perhaps I venture too close,
by contest rules to preaching against perceived immorality by Mr. Hubbard
and his adherents, and should that be the case I admit my upset at a
religion claiming to be a savior of mankind, demonstrating such callousness
at the end of a lifetime of exceptionally loving people, under their
care and responsibility. The comments above, of course, must be stimulating
many questions in your own minds regarding what you do or do not know
about the subject of Scientology. Unfortunately, a subject such as the
evaluation of the ethical efficacy of the tenants of the Church of Scientology
cannot be summarized in a 10,000 word essay, much as I would like to
be able to do so, and as much as it would be a wonderful tool for Mr.
Minton in his efforts to bring truth to humanity in general. I sympathize,
but, as enthusiastic as I am in pursuing the goal to bring enlightenment
and a safe passage to the spiritual enlightenment and realm of spirituality
and the realization that personal ethics springs forth from the recognition
of the inseparability of ethics and true spirituality, we are engaged
in at least a lifetime's work and I am unable to bring forth the miraculous
answer to every thing in this simple writing.
For now, perhaps we should
put the such immediate questions aside in our "bull pen" where
LRH says you should put things that are not completely resolved, so
that the file clerk can bring them up later, once there is sufficient
data to make a further determination, in favor of examining additional
data which may have a bearing on determining a solution to all the issues
raised by this rhetoric.
In continuing on with our
anonymous interviewee's observations. It is mentioned that in a 1938
letter to "SKIPPER," the following quote is attributed to
L. Ron Hubbard.
"Foolishly perhaps,
but determined none the less, I have high hopes of SMASHING MY NAME
INTO HISTORY SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT WILL TAKE A LEGENDARY FORM EVEN IF
ALL THE BOOKS ARE DESTROYED. ['My caps' -- emphasis (bold) added]. That
goal is the real goal as far as I'm concerned. Things which stand too
consistently in its way make me nervous. It's a pretty big job (Mission?).
In a hundred years Roosevelt will have been forgotten - which gives
some idea of the magnitude of the attempt."
Fascinating! "SMASHING
MY NAME INTO HISTORY". As if smashing is not enough violence.
As I recall from one of
LRH's early tapes, isn't violence a last resort? Much less,. . . "SO
VIOLENTLY THAT IT WILL TAKE A LEGENDARY FORM EVEN IF ALL THE BOOKS ARE
DESTROYED." Isn't such a statement the result of a fear that it
is the only way that one can be right? Did Hubbard so fear that humanity
would not recognize him and his brilliance that he would "violently"
stamp such recognition into existence, even if all of his books were
destroyed? To paraphrase, I believe Hubbard's own example of that type
of thinking from an early tape I listened to in relation to mankind
was: . . "stamped on every club, rock, knife, sword, bullet, bomb
and rocket" throughout the agonizing history of the human race,
was stamped the phrase "I'M RIGHT?".
Now, aside from the fact
that somehow, the author has to come up with 10,000 words for this contest,
it should be becoming obvious to the reader that the author is looking
at some things that were never examined during the initial examination
of the world according to Hubbard. So this is all extemporaneous in
nature. The intent here is not, as required by contest rules, to lecture
Scientologist, or ex-Scientologists for that matter. In fact, as I write
this, I feel it is indeed impossible to effectively do so. What I am
hoping, is that when Scientologist go into session, they will remember
this discourse. What I am hoping is that my questions and analysis will
encourage them to examine things not ordinarily touched on during the
"rudiments" of a session. I'm hoping, deep down inside, that
they will be willing to forego the electronic bliss of floating a needle
by agreeing with pre-conceived session results and do some deep-seated
agonizing as to their personal desire to control the environment that
the rest of life will come to experience if they are allowed by a quirk
of fate, or process of L. Ron Hubbard to control the destiny of others.
What I am finding most
fascinating in writing this essay, is that after so many years away
from the influence of Hubbard's "Church of Scientology", I
am, in its writing, at last examining issues which were not fully thought
through during my entire 10 years of subservience to the dictates of
the Church, without any thought to the effects of personal gains sought
for myself, in relation to the effects of such gains on the rest of
humanity. In retrospect, my thanks to the creator that Mr. Hubbard seems
to have been more interested in his place in history, than in being
the purveyor of truth with regards to the creation of a new species
of mankind. Were Hubbard's assumptions and technical truths indeed mankind's
way. I know now in total certainty that I was certainly not responsible
enough to have become "AT CAUSE OVER MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE AND
TIME. The rest of you should also be very relieved that neither myself
or others like me succeeded in truthfully attesting to the end phenomena
of any of the OT levels.
It is almost humorous that
Arnaldo Lerma's statement that if there were any OT's, we wouldn't be
here is totally spot on. Certainly anyone who disagreed with L. Ron
Hubbard and his truths would not be here. They would most certainly
have picked up the gun and performed R2-45 on themselves.
With regard to definitions
of the state of OT (Operating Thetan) I want to quote to the reader
passages, which have just come into my possession, which precede the
great book and advertising campaign changes of the late 70's and the
early 80's. My how things must change when one abandon's Hubbard's ideas
of Fabianism in ships at sea, to come ashore and run your operations
from a fixed land base upon which the lawyers can take shots at you.
I rarely speak of how my
ex-wife, Rheva Bittleman and I managed to leave the Apollo just prior
to its entry into Daytona Beach, Florida and the establishment of the
Church of Scientology International in Clearwater Florida, and stay
out on mission for some 18 plus months. I assure you, it was no accident,
but carefully planned on my part. At the time, I was LRH's personal
estates manager, and but for the slip up of a GO Finance staff member,
I would probably have become embroiled with the Miscavige/Starkey takeover
operation of the Church of Scientology and the Hubbard estates. This
certain staff member was so filled with his importance as a GO Finance
staff member, that during our dry-dock refurbishing of the Apollo in
Curacao, he couldn't resist showing off his current project. It was
a room below decks, which even I as Ron's personal estates manager,
knew about. It was a massive invoice changing project preceding the
arrival of the sea org on shore. Mary Sue Hubbard was weary of life
at sea and had used the guardian's office to scuttle the Sea Orgs fleet
of ships financially. I was the last probably the first and last fleet
captain leaving Rigg's Eckleberry to scuttle the Excalibur as the last
U.S. Ship in the Sea Org. There was a problem, however, in bringing
the Apollo into Daytona, Florida, financial records, formerly unavailable
to the United States Internal Revenue Service, could now be easily seized
for them by U.S. Customs officials upon entry into United States coastal
waters. Whoops!
Therefore, every document
from anywhere which could possibly show enurement of funds from any
of the Churches of Scientology, through Operations Transport Corp. or
Operations Transport Services, Ltd. of Panama, to L. Ron Hubbard or
his family. Had to be either destroyed or altered.
To you old timer Sea Org
members, you will remember that it was not until sometime after 1972
that the Guardians Office forced all Sea Org members to sign contracts
with the Church of Scientology organization that they were currently
posted at. Prior to that, all Sea Org Members were actually employees
of either or both Operations Transport Corp., Ltd. or Operations Transport
Services, Ltd.. Panamanian Corporations and personal offshore holding
companies of L. Ron Hubbard. Remember the Flag Order by "Commodore
Hubbard": which was a part of every Sea Org Members "Basic
Hat". Stories Told (emphasis added)? According to this story, the
acceptable truth told all people putting forth queries of the business
of the Sea Org Ships, was that we were an international consulting business,
traveling the world over and servicing the needs of our various clientele.
The story, of course was only true to the extent that our clients were
the various Churches and Missions of Dianetics and Scientology. The
truth was that Ron Hubbard laundered the moneys gathered by Scientology
International and H.A.S.I. ("Hubbard Association of Scientologists,
International") through Operation Transport Corp. and/or Operation
Transport Services to that it would not appear as though he was personally
profiting from the activities of the Religion of Scientology.
When Mary Sue scuttled
the Sea Org's control of Scientology by the "Commodore" through
the use of Operations Transport Corp. She also shot the hell out of
Stories Told, and create an enormous problem in keeping the IRS from
finding out about enurement of funds to Hubbard and his family from
the income of the various Churches of Scientology around the world.
So, there I am, personally
responsible for everything that's going on aboard the Apollo, just married,
and I find out that the largest single fraud against the IRS in history
is underway aboard ship without any prior knowledge on my part.
As will be discussed in
further detail below, I was already aware from my short time aboard,
that Flag itself was not the Great White Canoe in the sky that it was
promoted to be. Compared to my Flagship, the Excalibur, it was a veritable
garbage scow when I arrived at Flag to assist then Director of Maritime
Operations, Commander Robert F. Young, in getting the Apollo cleaned
up, ship-shape (and unknown to me, ready for sale on arrival in the
U.S.). It was soon obvious to me that Commodore Hubbard was not the
superman the rest of the world thought he was viz-a-vie his public relations
departments around the globe.
As I dined with my new
wife Rheva aboard my personal sailboat on the evening of my discovery
of the invoice changing project, I knew I had to get us off that ship,
or it was quite possible that my wife and I would be honeymooning in
jail as a result of an IRS raid on the ship when it hit U.S. Waters.
I knew that Scientology
and the Sea Organization would never be the same again once the Flag
Land base was opened.
It dawned on me that both
my wife and I had a proven track record as successful Sea Org Missionaries
for Mr. Hubbard. I took advantage of my wife's desire to see her parents,
who were pestering us to take a vacation and visit them in Miami, and
suggested that we go see Kerry Gleason, who was then in charge of International
Sea Org Operations and see if there wasn't trouble with income somewhere
in the world which would be serious enough to get him to use LRH Mission
needs to get us pulled off post and fired out to anywhere in the world
but our jobs aboard the Apollo. Rheva was excited at both the opportunity
to combine a mission with a trip to see her parents after we completed
the mission and were successfully debriefed and had earned some time
off and she cooperated with me in handling Kerry.
Our Guardian Angeles were
apparently with us, as Kerry had troubles aplenty with gross income
statistics and was short of experienced staff to fire off on mission.
We were off the ship in less than 48 hours. Except for trips back to
Clearwater, Florida, the new Flag Land Base, every few months for de-briefing
and re-briefing, we stayed out on mission as a husband and wife team
for over 18 months, with Power income raising statistics. Ron and the
Sea Org were of course very happy with our work because we made lots
of money, which the land base needed to buy up the City of Clearwater
and take over the community. We were awarded time off after every mission
to go to Miami and see Rheva's mom and dad. It was those very missions,
which gave me the opportunity to see where your fees were really spent
and realize the enormity of the Scientology criminal enterprise. The
trip we made to South Africa was my last mission for the Commodore before
leaving the Sea Org on a personal leave of absence.
I relayed the above, because
it was the shift to land, which was actually responsible for the change
in all of the Scientology promotional materials, and in particular,
changes to the original gradation chart. which we will cover thoroughly
in this essay, but here I want to point out that the changes drastically
altered what the Church sold to new parishioners without disturbing
the old "hidden data line as to what OT's could and couldn't do.
Lawyers couldn't get us at sea if Scientology wasn't producing the results
it said it could. But NOW, on land, they could subpoena us as we walked
off the base.
While we will cover the
other changes in the OT Levels and the gradation chart more fully later,
the biggie, OT VIII, is the definition I want to give you here.
Now-a-days, of course,
with the emphasis on protection of "trade secrets" and copyrighted
"sacred materials", Scientology just tells you on its gradation
chart that your abilities gained will be those attained in completing
the materials of OT VIII. HOGWASH!!!. Here are the end phenomena sold
out of the textbooks in 1975 and earlier:
"OPERATING THETAN
OT Course Section VIII at Advanced Orgs. . . ABILITY TO BE AT CAUSE
KNOWINGLY AND AT WILL OVER THOUGHT. LIFE, FORM, MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE
AND TIME, SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE."
Think about it, ability
to be at cause knowingly, and at will. . . It is my hope that in analyzing
the data found herein, with respect to this definition and other data
which has recently come into my possession, we can, together assist
mankind in discovering the weaknesses in our own character, which, in
the past have drawn us all towards Hubbard's "truths, and others
like him.
I can recall, in reaching
towards Scientology a very strong desire to be able to love unconditionally
always, which, again, seems to go hand-in-hand with the concept of "Serenity
of Beingness". In that same light, doesn't serenity of beingness
imply or pre-suppose a relationship with the creator of all-that-is
that is almost a partnership, or joint venture. I mean to say, doesn't
it strike you that if you operated in a state in which you experienced
the "End Phenomena" of: "Freedom from Overwhelm"
(OT III), or "Total Cause Over Matter, Energy, Space and Time"
(OT VIII) as a natural state of beingness, that you would have demonstrated
that you were responsible enough to be trusted with such powers. Cliches
aside, "My God" where else would you acquire those powers?
Let's examine these concepts
a bit more carefully than usual, for it seems to me that when we look
at the "dictionary" definition of overwhelm, and the term
"Total Cause" over the physical universe, concepts with regard
to ethics, responsibility to all life forms, sentient or otherwise (assuming
that anyone can agree on a usable definition of sentient), and how those
life forms "survive" in the face of beings capable of eradicating
such forms of life with a single thought. I fail to see how a responsible
"GOD", or creator "could bring into being the myriad
complex forms of existence and take the chance on some human jerk, wiping
out all such endeavors with a single thought. I spent some 10 years
as a high level executive in Scientology, and NEVER came across such
a being with either such abilities or responsibility level, including
the founder himself.
I ask the reader to recall
a basic "atheistic" claim, when paraphrased, goes like: If
there were a "god" he would never permit the things that mankind
perpetrates on himself and other life forms in just this universe.
Yet originally L Ron Hubbard,
and now his followers, would have us believe that he, many levels above
the need for physical form, remains "Source" of the highest
truths known to mankind on the physical plane. Wouldn't you say that
if this were indeed true, then regardless of physical body or not, he
too, would have to bear such responsibility for the "...."-ups
of himself and his followers? How, indeed, could he have departed the
"physical plane", berating David Miscavige for having betrayed
him and the Church. Does this sound like the dialogue of a master of
matter, energy, space and time?
It seems that much of the
other research I have done over the last twenty-some years points to
the fact that not only "Source", but the entire Church have
been demonstrating behavior which is akin to those un-flat on Hubbard's
Level 4 of the Gradation Chart. Un-flat "Service Facsimiles, defined
herein for the benefit of the uninitiated as: mental machinery which
us used by a being to "make others wrong, in order to be right!"
It was my understanding from Ron's policies and bulletins that only
20% of mankind was truly suppressive. Of course the number of jerks
observable in the behavior of normal human beings would seem to indicate
that possibly the influence of that 20% of human SP's caused behavior
which is depressing to most people, and possibly if Scientology were
able to eradicate the 2.5% of homosexuals Hubbard called for in his
efforts to cleanse the planet, the job would be easier and of course,
justified by their interference with the goals and purposes of Scientology,
but to state that everyone who is not a Scientologist is an enemy, seems
to indicate that everyone who does not convert to Scientology right
now is an enemy, what does that say for the efficacy of the processing?
Isn't it supposed to be axiomatic? That is, self-evidently true? I'm
sorry, but such thought seems to me to be saying that there are only
a select few that are not degraded to the point that they can grasp
Hubbard's vision, and that the rest are degraded beings, lost souls,
unworthy of existence outside the goals of Scientology, and therefore
doomed to destruction for the good of those who have converted to Scientology,
i.e. the "Greatest Good" for the greatest number of "Scientology's'
dynamics.
Quite frankly, for a being
who is 30-some levels above OT VIII (Again, per the original Gradation
Chart: "Total Cause Over Matter, Energy, Space and Time")
there seems to be some unresolved problem in his monitoring of the behavior
of the Church of Scientology executive structure towards no only life-long
members, but in relation to crimes consistently perpetrated against
those who disagree with Church ecclesiastical practices.
I find it greatly disturbing,
that the current executive structure, including but not limited to,
David Miscavige, Michael Rinder, Norman Starkey (whom for his length
of tenure in the Sea Organization should have been OT XXX5 by now),
find it necessary to resort to VIOLENCE, FRAUD, DECEIT, and abuse of
the United States Judicial System in order to bring peace, tranquillity,
and salvation of the souls of the human race of this planet. Doesn't
it seem strange to anyone that OT VIII's and whatever could possibly
exist above, would have the need to live by a Credo of "Never Fear
to Hurt Another in a Just Cause". I mean, surely David Miscavige
must be at least an OT VIII in order to be qualified to have absolute
command over every executive, staff member, and parishioner in any organization
having anything to do with the Church of Scientology. Really! What could
all of us supposedly un-united WOGS of the planet do against the intentions
of "millions" of tried and true Scientologists around the
planet, united under several thousand OT VIII's, hundreds of true OT
VII's, even more thousands of OT III's. It just doesn't make sense when
one listens to the rhetoric.
As the greatest source
in the history of mankind, would L. Ron Hubbard, relinquished his peacetime
post of "Commodore" to any being who wasn't at least "Just
below" himself on the Know to Mystery Scale. After all, in the
Organizational Executive Course and Flag Executive Briefing Course didn't
Ron specifically state the importance of tone scale position in hiring?
Isn't it true that he said that it was important that recruiters and
personnel directors be very highly trained and up the bridge (paraphrase)
because no personnel director or recruiter would ever hire anyone higher
on the Tone Scale than him or herself???? How could the current Supreme
Commander of the Sea Organization David Miscavige, and the entirety
of Scientology, be an asthmatic, forced to live in a desert environment,
and yet be in possession of the ability to be in TOTAL CONTROL OVER
MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE AND TIME.
Now I have spent quite
some time around and about Michael P. Pattinson, and while I am quite
disinterested in his current sexual persuasion, he has obviously not
been cured of his "ruin" while an attested OT III, and is
obviously not "Free from Overwhelm" as can be witnessed in
his depression over losing his court hearings against the "Church",
and, additionally, he is obviously not an OT VIII, even though for years
he was billed as Scientology's highest trained and processed ambassador
to the world. Nor, is there any evidence whatsoever, in terms of the
original Gradation Charts "Abilities Gained" Section and "End
Phenomena" Sections, that anyone in any universe has been produced
by such levels of Scientology Technical Processing. In fact, current
NOTS "confidential materials" are in direct contradiction
with LRH "Philadelphia Doctorate Course" materials, which
to my knowledge have never been revised by LRH or anyone else. In one
of the PDC tapes, LRH specifically states that OT's are not audited
to the state of OT (Because of course, there is no reactive mind to
audit), but they are "Trained" to the state of OT. This would,
of course, pre-suppose that the basic mind given us by the true source
of mankind, which not even LRH has claimed to have created as "Source",
despite Gods screw-up in not realizing he had also created a "reactive"
mind, (caught, thank "God" by Hubbard's brilliance) is capable,
after clearing, of being "Trained" to the state of "Operating
Thetan", including but not limited to, "Freedom from Overwhelm",
"Intentional Alteration of the "MEST" universe (OT VII)
and, while levels below what Scientology can really produce, "TOTAL
CONTROL OVER MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE AND TIME".
Naturally, we would have
to forgive the "WOGS" (Worthy Oriental Gentlemen, or Meat
Bodies to the initiates) because they know not what they do and god
has accepted no responsibility for their actions. Excuse me, but what
I don't follow here is how God or the creator of all that is, or Yahweh,
or any of dozens of names for the creator, could pass on the knowledge
of the secrets of the universe and the technology of dispensing them
to humankind through L. Ron Hubbard, without L. Ron Hubbard accepting
some sort of responsibility for the effects that he is creating on the
rest of life.
Regardless of this contest
I would seriously like to hear from the readers with regard to the points
covered above. No one has ever done even a partial analysis of the "Q's",
the logics, the Dianetic axioms, the Scientology axioms in relation
to the definitions contained within the Scientology Dictionary of terms,
and especially, in light of the original gradation chart, copies of
which seem to be extremely difficult to locate. I would be happy to
respond to reader's comments and suggestions and even to embark on further
analysis of the above-referenced subjects. Contact can be made through

Let's now put aside the
concepts set forth above and delve a little deeper into the anonymous
interviewee's coverage of the Excalibur Manuscripts, with an eye to
bridging the materials together in a new perspective of the true intentions
of L. Ron Hubbard and his Church of Scientology.
What exactly, was the Excalibur
manuscript(s) about? Our interviewee states that essentially the theme
is to "Survive". The manuscript describes how every aspect
of live can be traced back to survival. For example:
Cells = survival. Family
= survival Groups = survival,
Etc., Etc. Since the manuscript
was written circa 1938, it appears that Survival was the precursor for
the origin of the eight dynamics.
It now seems, however,
that the development of the eight dynamics were based more on an escape
from not only the fear of being unable to survive in a universe created
by a fickle "God", but in an effort to personally prove that
such a god, had screwed up and was in need of being informed that he
had indeed, with the creation of Mankind's physical universe, and that
Hubbard was just the sort of person to call it to his attention.
What is the basis for the
above commentary? Consider seriously the following allegations of our
anonymous interviewee allegedly quoting Mr. Hubbard.
"it's a big joke,
this living. God was feeling sardonic the day he create the universe.
So its rather up to at least one man ever few centuries to pop up and
come just as close TO MAKING HIM SWALLOW HIS LAUGHTER AS POSSIBLE."
Followed thereafter, by
what is seemingly an out of sequence comment:
"I'M THIRTY PERCENT
SHOWMAN AFTER ALL BECAUSE I INSTINCTIVELY DIVE TOWARD POPULAR HUZZAHS."
From the standpoint of
the punctuation alone, it would seem to be something that LRH would
say.
What concerns me the most,
however, is the implication that the creation of the universe flew in
the face of Hubbard's personal opinion as to the way things should have
been; and, that it was his job to make the creator wrong, without any
indication of what, indeed, was in Hubbard's opinion, actually wrong.
In fact so wrong, in fact, that humanity itself needed to give the creator
a poke in the right place to get him into the right mindset. That mindset,
I suspect, would probably mimic the argument between God and Lucifer,
which according to most humankind lore, resulted in the situation in
which we find ourselves today. A world run by evil, incompetent to serve
the needs of a free mankind, an in need of a modern day Messiah, to
save it, as if Yashua was insufficient, to miraculously undo god's mistakes
and glow things right. If Scientology is here to save you, hat, I ask,
is it here to save you from? If the creator of all that is has been
mistaken in his creative endeavors, and his actions somehow failed to
give mankind the very real freedom of choosing between right and wrong,
good and evil, love or hate, as his means of leading us back to supporting
a personal lifestyle that brings a joy to living, regardless of perceived
obstacles towards known goals, then what alternative does Hubbard and
his Church of Scientology offer us? My tenure in Scientology never demonstrated
that Hubbard's perceptions gave us any more perceived or unperceived
happiness than those suggested by Buddha, Mohammed, Richard Bach, or
Jesus, the Christ, or any other prophet down through the ages. Am I
just misperceiving things, or is all of the suffering that has occurred
through the ages not been the result of mankind itself refusing to live
the lifestyles taught by such personages, regardless of their deified
personalities?
Are not the Ten Commandments
ten ways in which to live a better life, does anyone who possesses anything
but a criminally oriented mind seriously believe that they are only
the Ten Suggestions! ! ! ???? Do Buddha's rules for right living suggest
that they are only correct until you feel the need to screw someone
out of something that you covet for yourself, because you are too lazy
to exercise the discipline necessary to acquire that thing for yourself.
What rules for happy living
has Hubbard's Scientology philosophy laid out that are in any way more
workable than exercising all of the rules for happy living that have
been handed down throughout the ages.
A Japanese girl I know,
who is a very intelligent, competent and loving individual (and potential
woman's nine-ball pool champ) and I were discussing the subject of ethics
and billiards one day. She asked me why I insist on calling all of my
shots, rather than just the pocket the object ball is to fall in. I
told her that it was because I wanted no doubt about whether it was
me or "luck" or "chance" or the "fates"
that caused the ball to go where I indicated. I told her that I loved
pool because it allowed me the opportunity to develop and demonstrate
the abilities my creator had given me. I told her that I did not consider
any form of cheating at pool to be beneficial to me and my personal
relationship with the creator. She acknowledged my reasoning, but then
said: "I don't understand you Westerners. Why is it that you have
to be religious and believe in a god to be ethical"? To paraphrase,
she said that it seemed that in America, if you are not religious, you
are not considered to be an ethical person. She said that in Japan,
ethics are part and parcel of one's educational courses while growing
up.
Her statements stopped
me short and I commented that it was quite something for a person to
see the benefits of being ethical without having any personal communion
with one's creator. It had never occurred to me that this was possible.
In fact, I had never thought about it at all.
Could that be what is wrong
with American society? Being brought up to be ethical as a result of
fear of reprisals from one's God? Didn't Yashua preach the gospel (God's
Truth) to teach us right living, and that such living would bring us
closer to our creator. Imagine your children growing up being able to
personal discern rightness from wrongness without need of fear of punishment
from any particular type of god or gods if they somehow did not meet
the often arbitrary and confusing requirements of denominational sects.
I had no idea that Japanese children were brought up that way. It also
explains why in 1972, as then Executive Director of the first Japanese
Org, I had to make the unilateral decision to close down that first
mission into Japan. We were simply unprepared to integrate Scientology
principles into a culture we were totally ignorant of. Years later,
in 1984 surveys conducted by Scientology still agonized over whether
to drop the religious curtain veiling Scientology operations to be conducted
in Japan and instead concentrate on the business techniques and philosophical
approach.
Tying ethics into the subject
of in fear or out of fear makes for a fascinating investigation. Didn't
Hubbard use fear of ethics handling to drive adherents into total compliance
with his edicts? Are not those same tactics used today to accomplish
similar thought control?
Personally, I worked for
10 years on Scientology's behalf. During that time I broke a number
of laws, lied for Scientology, offered to kill for it, withheld knowledge
from lawful governmental agencies that Scientology was not in compliance
with rules and regulations binding on all other citizens, caused parishioners
to be blackmailed into compliance with the dictates of Hubbard's Guardian's
office, in order to increase the gross income of Scientology organizations
around the world, smuggled incredibly large sums of money(in excess
of $500,000 per week out of the City of Los Angeles, California alone)
to countries of convenience, witnessed gross fraud against the Internal
Revenue Service of the United States, and suffered the loss of loved
ones, eliminated by the needs of the Church in accomplishing its goals
to take over of world governments in order to save us from ourselves,
etc., etc., ad adsurdum.
I realize now that during
that entire time period I was operating out of a fear that:
a. If I didn't make things
go right for Hubbard, world governments might collapse before I could
become clear and reach the coveted OT Levels.
b. As a senior executive
I would bear a huge percentage of contributory negligence for the failure
of our mission to save the planet and all of its souls. and;
c. I would never be forgiven
by the creator for all of my childhood and early adulthood sins and
thus be consumed by the wall of fire, whatever form of hell that was?
(Remember, the OT Levels were not at that time available on the Internet,
so none of us knew that they were amalgamated science fiction stories
garnered from thousands of years of religious myths.)
The above considerations
alone readily demonstrate the extent to which a person can be controlled
through fear to work endlessly to accomplish an end that will keep the
person from an agonizing freefall through the rest of eternity. But
how one then asks does this relate to Hubbard's flight from fear? Just
what do we know so far from the data observed herein?
Well first of all we can
decipher that Hubbard held God and life in apparent contempt.
Why else would people like
him be deemed necessary to come along every hundred years or so and
make God swallow his own joke. If indeed, Hubbard believed that God
was a screw up, that would explain his proven close association with
the late Satanist, Alexander Crowley, who like Hubbard was apparently
denied immortality on earth by one of the two primary forces God, or
his alter ego, the Devil. Did Hubbard believe that evil was more powerful
than good? If not, why would one practice Witchcraft and Satanism? I
would also point out that isn't the practice of satanic ritual a form
of Propitiation? Kind of low on the emotional tone scale isn't it? Crowley,
aptly titled "the Beast", expounded "Do what though whilst!
Thus, inferring mankind as separate and above any universal morality
or spiritual ethic. If we scan closer can't we see under the veil of
so-called justice, the gleam of something evil peeking through the phrase
"Never Fear to Hurt Another in a Just Cause [emphasis added] whose
cause? A being who believes "Do what though Whilst!" to be
the only immutable law of universes.
And what need for such
power as the states of OT described to be possessed on earth by mere
humankind. Was Hubbard in truth at war with the Gods. Did he come to
loath not only God, but Satan as well, as the most adored being in the
universe (. . ."but the most valued particle of all is admiration")
and in his fear that his greatness would go unrecognized by anyone,
seek the power to unseat both deities?
I wonder, were Hubbard
to have in fact uncovered secrets of the universe(s) which would place
him on a combat level with the gods, why indeed would he need the rest
of the human race as an army against the forces of evil afoot in the
universe. If the concepts of good and evil are actually polarities of
an arguable supreme beingness, what the hell difference would the rest
of us make to forces of that magnitude.
One would think that were
the OT Levels anywhere near those advertised in the original gradation
chart (Yes we will examine that issue), there would be major preparation
of an initiate prior to the granting of such super-human powers. For
what if his minions, like Hubbard himself, turned against even the supreme
arrogance of Lucifer.? Its almost as if Hubbard had assumed the role
of cosmic fence. Hey buddy, I've got a way to sell that bridge over
there in Brooklyn. You steal it for me and when I sell it, I'll give
you more money than you could ever work for in your life.
It just boggles the mind
that someone with such acclaimed spiritual power wouldn't just call
in his generals, tell them flat out that he had other things to do,
that Right Hand was in charge, and that the left hand better support
him or he would come back and make them both wish they had learned to
get along with each other. Then stand up, step out of his body, like
old clothes left on the seashore and walk off into infinity. Instead,
"Source" whined that David Miscavige had betrayed him and
the rest of Scientology and stolen his power, not to mention that filthy
lucre stuff (uggh!!, money).
For god's sake, the last
time I talked to Hubbard was in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles in 1974,
on the quarter-deck of the Apollo, he was shaking so bad it looked like
he was going to have an epileptic seizure, his speech was slurred and
practically unintelligible. I know he was trying to tell me something
about the clouds and the day's photo-shoot, but he just couldn't manage
to get it out. He was just recovering from having a golf-ball sized
cyst removed from the middle of his forehead, which he hid from everyone
with his hats. Kima Douglas told me later that she and Mary Sue forced
him to get rid of it. Have you ever read Andre Tabayoyan's Deflation
in the Church of Scientology v. Fishman/Geertz case? I mean I knew the
old man was bad off, but Andre was his butler, and between what he and
Kima say about Ron's medication, he was practically popping pills like
M & M's every day. I just can't imagine what he must have been like
six years later. I imagine pathetic, for the founder of the greatest
techniques in the entire agonizing history of mankind for physical and
spiritual well being, the Sciences of Dianetics and Scientology! Yet
to this day Miscavige and his boys maintain that they're cranking out
OT's just like Ron wanted them to, and continue to be sued by people
like Michael P. Pattinson, who paid them some $500,000 over the course
of a quarter of a century because he just wanted to stop doing men.
Miscavige, knowing full well that Michael was un-flat on OT III, still
gay, and obviously a false attest on every OT Level above that, through
and including OT VIII and NOTS 34 (Which I laughingly refer to as Not
OT I through 34), and fraudulently billed Michael to staff, parishioners
and the general public as the highest trained and processed Scientologist
on the planet.
Puleeze! Don't you have
to start taking this OT stuff with a saltshaker and lots of water?
THE GRADATION CHART
I think we are at the point
where the "Original" Gradation Chart becomes pertinent to
a look at the development of Dianetics and Scientology through the eyes
of a man I personally believe was driven by fears for not only his personal
survival, but also the survival of his image in the eyes of the rest
of mankind to come. While the "original" definition of OT
VIII was given earlier in order that you come to see that Scientology
and its vast number of processes to handle every problem in getting
non-suppressive and PTS (Potential Trouble Source) persons up the bridge,
in all likelihood has never produced a being capable of demonstrating
the abilities gained and end phenomena set forth above in the Clear
and OT levels, and even more likely, since recent data from the possibly
fictional character "Dorian, with regard to the effects of auditing
procedures, and recent discoveries with regard to the phenomena manifested
by submission of induced electronic current through a persons body and
its closed electrical biological circuits suggests that the states of
clear and above are merely states induced by both auditing techniques
and the brainwashing and mind control influences induced by excessive
current flow through the body by use of the e-meter. . Research, as
described by papers written by Arnaldo Lerma, suggest that clearing
of subjective whole-track difficulties experienced by a person undergoing
Dianetics and Scientology processing are induced by the very processing
the person is doing to rid himself of problems, in order to attain the
end phenomena which Scientology apparently falsely proclaimed possible
under the "abilities gained" and "end phenomena sections
of the Gradation Chart itself. When Scientology exposed itself to the
law by coming ashore, in the mid-seventies, it wasted little time in
eradicating the old gradation chart, yet it never instructed it staff
and parishioners that the old gradation chart was misrepresentative
and allowed old-timers to maintain the supposition that the levels promoted
by the old gradation chart were in fact true and new initiates could
expect too, to attain such states of spiritual enhancement and personal
power.,
The original definitions
of OT Levels 1 through VII are stated below first, because it is important
to note that after the relatively inexpensive states of Level O through
Clear have been attained, the being is allegedly at a state which has
previously been unattained by mankind, and apparently, deliberately
withheld from mankind due to a screw up by god himself in the design
of human beings, I mean really, who else could you blame? More on this
precept at the end.
OT I: Extroverts a being
and brings about an awareness of himself as a thetan in relation to
others and the physical universe.
OT II : Ability to confront
the whole track (Whose whole track and Which Whole Track apparently
deliberately omitted)
OT III: Return of full
self determination; freedom from overwhelm (Said to handle the problems
of homosexuality).
OT IV: Certainty of self
as a being
OT V: Refamiliarizes a
thetan exterior with the physical universe (Freedom from introversion
into MEST (matter, energy, space & time).
OT VI: Ability to operate
freely as a thetan exterior (In what universe apparently deliberately
omitted); and to act pan-determinately extends the influence of the
thetan to the universe of others. (Mind Control at a distance?)
OT VII: Rehabilitation
of intention, ability to project intention (Lots of unanswered questions
on this one).
WOW!! Has anyone ever seen
anyone who could do these things, I mean really, Hubbard himself, supposedly
thirty-some levels of OT above these abilities never demonstrated anything
close to such abilities. Why the old gradation chart and the abilities
gained up to the state of clear alone could be the subject of another
10,000 word essay.
Following, are some comments
with regard to my perception as to they way that potential new members
of the Church are induced to continue up through the levels before the
final hook and reel-n are accomplished on the allegedly upper levels
and the parishioner says a final farewell to his hard earned life-time
savings.
In Scientology, programming
begins with the introduction of ARC, or affinity, reality and communications.
catchy words. They are, in my opinion the first cast of the fly rod
to the fish in the sea of potential new Scientologists.
Hubbard uses the affinity
he is able to generate through his almost hypnotic story telling, viz-a
viz his taped lectures and communications courses to get people into
agreement with trying out Scientology courses and auditing. The communications
course is the first step in creating a psychological addition to Scientology
programming.
There is a difference between
"Reality" and "Actuality". Actuality is what is.
If, as Hubbard claims, reality is agreement, then as a former student
of Black Magic, reality becomes whatever he can convince people it is.
Once they have gone for the con, they simply do not see anything outside
the agreed upon parameters of the con. So the con becomes totally real
to the mark, but quite probably has no relationship to the actuality
of the rest of life. Separation, divide and conquer. Ring a bell????
It is no accident that
defining words is stressed so highly in Scientology. The Scientology
Dictionary as an example (in which yours truly may be seen pictured
within the definition of "Third Dynamic"), of the creation
of a language which once learned, defines the reality of the reader
and practitioner, the world according to Hubbard. The beauty of the
con (from Hubbard and his heirs viewpoint) is that once you have agreed
to maintain the purity of the tech, you must also continuously open
your wallet and shell out to obtain the benefits of the "Tech".
THE PROGRESSION OF THE CON
The con, of course, begins
with the concept of a "Bridge" itself. One has to first create
the need to go over one, and this is accomplished by the "Dissemination
Drill" A "ruin" is found on the mark. The ruin can be
anything at all, anything that the individual is willing to agree has
been ruining his life in some fashion. Once he agrees that that something
is ruining his life, it is but a simple task to indicate to him that
Scientology can handle that and is hear to save him from his ruination.
There is no denial that Hubbard was indeed a brilliant individual, his
character, however, left all of us something to be desired, and his
intelligence was distorted by criminally distorted intentions to violently
leave his mark upon the world and his willingness to harm others in
his just cause.
I'm convinced that as a
student of the late PT Barnum, he was consciously aware that he couldn't
just begin with ripping people off for their money. That would, of course,
spoil any further opportunity to hit them up again.
Now in light of the recent
"Dorian" interviews, Hubbard may have indeed been duped into
creating Scientology by Dorian and his cohorts, but whether this is
just Dorian's own attempt at literary immortality or Hubbard was part
of the gang seems redundant in view of the great harm such activities
have done to those engaged in a serious attempt to live a more spiritual
existence.
What better way to keep
the marks coming back than to hint that his "Bridge" would
restore the abilities lost by the human race as a result of the activities
of a long-dead federation of planets. How brilliant to dangle the carrot
in front of the rabbit, with the rabbit constantly pushing the carrot
away from itself, through its agreement with Hubbard's reality and a
corresponding misunderstanding of actuality?
The first three levels
of the "Bridge" actually create a self-imposed ARC with Scientology.
The levels are designed to create affinity through agreement and communication.
There is absolutely no doubt that the Communication Course increases
a person's ability to communicate. As a Sea Organization Missionaire,
I always made a ton of money for Hubbard by running a really tough communications
course. People would come away from those courses feeling as though
they were on top of the world. Their ability to communicate was greatly
enhanced. However, what they didn't realize was that their ability to
communicate with Scientologists was what was enhanced. They came out
of that course with dozens, hundreds, and perhaps even thousands of
new potential new "terminals" to communicate with if the continued
their involvement with Scientology and proceeded up its "Bridge".
Huge meetings, called "Congresses", were held for the express
purpose of brining these new converts together in a "carnival"
atmosphere in order to cement the new reality promised those traveling
up the bridge of Scientology.
Conversely, initiates were
being very subliminally led to drop communications attempts with that
not associated with Scientology. Actuality was subliminally replaced
by the reality of Scientology's "Bridge to Total Freedom".
LEVEL FOUR - SERVICE FACSIMILES
Making others wrong in
order to be right! This level stuck you right in the middle of your
real or imagined past life guilt. Of course you had to be guilty of
something, or you couldn't possibly have degenerated as a spirit to
the lowly level of being stuck in a mere meat body. Guilt, as a programming
tool, works. There's not a mother on this planet that doesn't instinctively
know that. Of course it doesn't work until a person has bonded with
another through, guess what? Affinity, reality and communications. It
is the fear of loss of those things that allows guilt to be effectively
used in controlling the mindset of another human being.
Hubbard apparently never
actually completed Level Four himself. I believe it is safe to assume
this is so, as his organizations to this day continuously make others
wrong in order to create the appearance of Scientology being right.
If this behavior originated from "Source", then "Source
couldn't have been flat on level four. You should be getting the hint
as to where the rest of the "Bridge is going. I sincerely hope
to cover more of such territory in subsequent writings
This is straight from the
hip to all of you former staff and parishioners. If the OT levels were
really genuine and attainable. Why would L. Ron Hubbard have used a
barely audited, quickie grade, level five person such as myself, Fleet
Captain material or not on over twenty missions to create massive amounts
of income for Scientology and the Sea Org. Surely were OT's real, there
would have been one or two out of millions of Scientology adherents
Scientology had helped out of ruin, that could have done the job better,
faster, and with lasting results. That Hubbard and his OT Flag aides
had to use a non-clear and an admitted un-flat OT III husband and wife
team is a direct conflict with the stated accomplishments of Dianetic
and Scientology processing.
Given the above information
and the real definition of states of clear and OT, it is important that
you ask the question that if there really were thousands of persons
clear and above, who possessed such abilities? Do you really think that
Scientology would have to spend millions and millions of dollars of
your hard earned money annually, defending themselves from legal actions
by people who are really pissed off that they either didn't get their
ruin handled, or got nowhere near the abilities gained that the old
hidden data line still projects by virtue of all of the old-timers continuing
to falsely attest to the attainment of the OT levels. Wouldn't it be
more likely that if such levels were attainable that the fees for such
services would be spent making Scientology more readily affordable for
the masses. How do you clear a planet and save its souls by making the
means to do it beyond the means of 80% of the planets inhabitants. Perhaps
you put them to work for you in exchange for services.
Matter, Energy, Space and
Time (MEST) you know, the non-theta stuff, non-spiritual? The stuff
that all you thetans are supposed to be outside? I cannot believe people
miss doing the upper levels treat BT's as building blocks for the body.
If you just remember Hubbard's definition of Thetan you would realize
that the body cannot be made out of something non-physical. On OT III
we're auditing out body thetans? Degraded beings? I think not!. Hubbard
had you attacking your own DNA, your very cells, or cells so distorted
with induced electrical current from the e-meter that they produced
the effect of an out-of-control "BT". You were, or have been
trying to audit away your own genetic entity line if you will. Is it
any wonder so many people spin out?
Infinitely expanding universes
exist, and they are observable phenomena with available technology.
Such phenomena presuppose the ability of all component parts to experience
the Is-ness of themselves. I have it on good authority, from one of
Hubbard's former Class XII research auditors that Hubbard was fully
aware that there wasn't anything that wasn't alive, regardless of the
state of consciousness of its present form. Think about that for a moment.
Every cell of your body, billions of them, have a consciousness of the
role that they play in being contained by the overall body in which
you believe that you dwell.
The most dangerous aspect
of the Scientology programming is I believe, the attack on your own
actuality. You are convinced that an integral part of your own beingness,
your link to the rest of life, DNA, are degraded beings impinged on
you, and in fact make up your body. Without realizing it, you are attempting
to blow off your own body, and to add insult to injury you are paying
Scientology and the Hubbard-heads to do it. The fact of the matter is
that it is a form of suicide and they've convinced you that it leads
to total freedom. Get it, everything thing that you as a synergetic
physical entity possess is supposed to be there. Your job, as a so-called
thetan, is to learn how to use it in a loving, synergetic manner to
create more joy in life between yourself and the rest of all-that-is.
I don't believe that the creator was wrong, I just think that L. Ron
Hubbard was a person who could never be right unless he made every other
living human being wrong.
Thank you for your attention.
I look forward to future essays such as this being produced not only
by myself, but many others, as awareness of true spiritual enlightenment
unfolds through sharing of our individual truths.
