The Dalai Lama Says:
"A compassionate attitude opens our inner door, and as a result it is much easier to communicate with others. If there is too much self-centered attitude, then fear, doubt and suspicion come and as a result our inner door closes. Then it is very difficult to communicate with others."
Compassion, yet another thing that gets audited only if its an item for a particular pc. What everyone gets is the self-centered attitude of "my Bridge," "my case," "my gains," "my account." It is no wonder scientologists go out of communication rather than in as they progress up the Bridge.
A compassionate attitude was one of the key things I looked for inside of Scientology when I was deeply involved. Just being simplistically compassionate was considered being "theetie weedie". Its characteristics were being sympathetic to another's misfortunes, helping downstats, caring sort of like a dog cares for its master. This was frowned upon. If a person was simply kind hearted, without their dedicated purposeful glare, they were allowed on staff but would not get very far.
To really be compassionate on Staff, you had to have a dedicated, purposeful glare, then something called Ethics presence, you had to act directly A to B, and then you had to have compassion for others. I saw nothing wrong with this approach. I felt it was valid at the time I was in and still do. Not too many people could measure up to being compassionate in this manner.
At CCLA Yvonne Jentzsch had it as did Heber. Heber is being talked about a lot currently on other threads and though he had compassion in his early days, his later activities in the Church have tarnished his reputation in the eyes of many. Others at CC who had it might have been Sam Loria, Iris Reaves. Irene Derman plus many of the auditors and C/Ses.
Further down on the Org board there were many compassionate people who were very kind hearted but were usually either lacking on going A to B but took detours instead, or they were lacking in Ethics presence. Two rank and file who I found compassionate were Carole Ferguson and Kenny Lipton.
On the Apollo, I found only Stuart Moreau the MAA, Dave the course supervisor and Al Boughton, the Estates Program Chief to have compassion.
ETHICS PRESENCE There were some very kind hearted people at CCLA who really cared about others but came up short on ethics presence. This would qualify them to be considered compassionate out in the outside world but not strictly compassionate the way it was defined on staff. A few examples of these people at CCLA would be Betty Murakami, Julie Goetz, Frances Pavlides, Adelle Vonnie, Gary Hart, Bob Mithoff, Hector Carmona, Henry Baumgard, etc., kind hearted souls all, but lacking only in the Ethics Presence which was required to really be considered compassionate. This list constitutes all the people who I liked the most and hung out with.
Ethics Presence was an aura a person had about them which said, "I know what I am talking about and I mean business!" Don't mess around with me, if you do well you will be rewarded and enhanced, if you do not, I am going to be in your face and believe me you do not want that to happen. "There's them thats got it and there's them that don't"
I won't say that ethics presence is totally an inborn trait, it can be developed but for the most part, people who have it are endowed with it and did not study and learn how to develop it. Somebody such as Kenny Lipton or Ray Mithof were ones who did not have it initially and developed it later. When someone does that, they do not seem to achieve the level of Ethics Presence which a "natural" has. What Ted says about auditing one's compassion is very interesting. In all the auditing I had, it never once came up on a list of my own creating and was not on any prepared list that I remember doing. The subject was not taken up on any of the grades or actions which I audited. Maybe LRH felt one had it or did not or it was not a skill to be honed but was just a part of a being's dynamics. I believe myself, just a gut feeling, that compassion and also Ethics Presence would respond well to auditing and of course training as well. LRH did not push it as far as I know. Did Alan take up these subjects in Knowledgism?
