just because something reads on a meter doesn't mean anything. All Hubbard did was to assign significance to it, and we fell for the significance.
Remember when hubbard said auditing removes significance, but what hubbard did do is but add significance thru his endless books and lectures which he sold for a penny a word. LOL
Oh yah, looking up every word for precise definition adds significance.
Captive audience gleaming significance. Everybody and anybody who had ever listened to hubbard's tapes and lectures were gleaming for significance.
ROFLMAO, I got it figured out. How to explain?
Great post! I just love this - perfect!
The human drive to find significance for the unexplained. The human belief that every reaction has a significance and life would be solved if we could only find the right answers, so search, search, search ... the answers are out there!
Oh we are so addicted to solving puzzles with rational answers!
Most things that happen have no real significance to us, personally. Half the things that happen to the human body have no significance, but we assign a reason it is happening or has happened, anyway. Worse, we think we CAUSED the event.
Wet roads, car accident. Must have been PTS.
Robbed at gunpoint. Should have followed my horoscope.
Caught a virus. Must have fallen out of the Lord's good grace.
I gave an example before of the one time I had actually hypnotized someone. It's a great example of how we, as humans, automatically find rational explanations for the irrational. I was 12 years old and goofing off with my girlfriends at an overnight when one of the girls said if you had someone lay down and rub their temples and tell a story, you can hypnotize a person. We all tried it on her brothers and sisters and their friends and went into gales of laughter when friends pretended to be hypnotized. Then, ohmygoodness, one of the brother's friends just happened to be one of those highly suggestible types and I told him a story and he went into a light trance and I gave him a posthypnotic suggestion (like I'd seen on TV) that when he woke up, he'd kick a certain girl that had always been mean to me. So he woke up, claimed he wasn't hypnotized at all, then she walked in the room and he kicked her! Hard!
He apologized, told her he was sorry, it was an accident, his foot had slipped out from under him. His mind AUTOMATICALLY FOUND AN ACCEPTABLE, RATIONAL EXPLANATION for what his body had done without his conscious knowledge.
