Much of his [Hubbard's] adult behavior conforms to at least one DSM IV described personality disorder at the least. I can pin at least three and probably four on him. Oppositional/Defiant, Narcissistic, Borderline Personality, Histrionic Personality Disorder, take your pick. All apply to his recorded behavior over time. I personally think he was, above all, a textbook sociopath. They are often very charming, charismatic and have forceful, persuasive personalities, and can be quite materially successful in life. They live by their own rules, and don't conform to societies' rules unless compelled to.

Ted, I don't know if this helps you (I'm also one of those eager helper/do gooder types) to find more peace and handle those feelings about "He lied, I missed it", but countless people have been taken in by sociopaths. They can be utterly charming and persuasive, very attractive in many ways, until they turn on you and you finally get to see their dark side at last. That is what happened to so many who went in to service in the "church", only to be bitterly betrayed, disillusioned and actively harmed by someone they revered as a Spiritual leader.
I am okay, really I am.
Pick one disorder. Learn about it. See if it fits LRH. If the disorder fits, 8C him off that pedestal of OT worship that has been built for him. I believe it will do a person some good to do that.
As for George, Rathbun, Rinder, any or all the others, I like to believe any one of them could show up on my doorstep looking for some good counsel so I stay away from commenting on them. DM is another story. He belongs in jail.



That's pretty funny. Knowledge Reports written on me were actually the originator's BPC report. Most contained little actual knowledge. Imagine what that does to the R and C corners of the triangle.

To my way of thinking, we are all in various states and stages of handling and resolving our "case" at any given point in time. Some are greatly more advanced that others, but as long as we're still in a physical world with a corporeal body and mind, we are subject to the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, as it were.
How do we know WHAT the timeframe is that we have left on this planet? We're not talking 2012 apocalypse here, are we?
And by recovered, I mean their Life-Force fully re-empowered and restored under their full knowing control and being applied with full volition toward their own chosen and envisioned positive wants, dreams, aspirations.
