Yes, that's fair comment, Mate. Not to be argued with, but respected as it is from an old pro.
I can only say that up till I got a look at an alternative way of addressing and progressing an individual's case, I viewed it exactly as you do
My sweet Virginia was never in Scn . . . I introduced her to Kn as a total newbie, and coached and case advised her all the way. She's been to the old Dallas Center and the ranch many times on courses, and co-processed with students (and another business person client I twinned her up with in her early days for objectives) . . . but other than that, I coached her to solo everything.
I have given her one or two sessions to help her handle a tricky thing or two or to do one corrective action for her. This over a period of 12 years.
It has been interesting for me to be closely watching her progress . . . and that with a very keen eye to be sure things go right with nothing missed or avoided. (that's where the coaching bit comes in.)
She is aware that the OT Levels exist, and generally the nature of their content. It is an issue of no interest and no reaction on her part, not avoidance, but simply something she does not have to deal with, it seems (so far . . . and I suspect probably not at all).
It's time I revealed a little truth I've not revealed on ESMB. It's a true story to do with Virginia and a client who now is well advanced in Kn (he's an MD Specialist who also teaches at a leading teaching hospital).
It's a story about an example and the level of abilities being recovered by the Kn way of handling case.
It was the day of 9/11. The day NYC lost its twin towers to the terrorist takeover of the two jetliners.
I had a doctor’s appointment that day. I was seeing about my old injured spine, and what to do about it.
I was aware that the first plane had hit the towers as I left my office to keep my doctor appointment. More than that was not known. I thought from the TV long distance shot that some idiot private pilot had flown into the building. I was forgetting how enormous those buildings were . . . . they were over 100 yards long on each side of the square that was their base shape.
By the time I came out of the hospital after the appointment, the whole city was on alert: traffic frozen, the hospital as active as a disturbed beehive, folks listening to reports on strangers’ car radios or crowding shops to get what was on TV.
I looked south about 8 miles from where I’d come out of the hospital, and all I saw was an enormous white cloud hanging over the bottom of Manhattan occluding the skyscrapers there.
When I got back to my office I had messages from Virginia. She had witnessed the second plane hit live. After the first plan hit, she and her co-workers up at Columbia University had a clear view down the Hudson River to the tip of Manhattan, and watched the whole parade unfold live.
The first question she had of me, even before ascertaining how we were going to get home that evening with all the city’s transportation shut down, was what could we do for the people who were involved/killed in the catastrophe.
Frankly, I hadn’t given that much, if any, thought. I had been more interested in my own affairs and of keeping my case unperturbed and not stirred up. There was a lot of upset going on that day among my acquaintances.
My instant reaction, after Virginia asked me what we could do for the victims was to say, “They’ll be in shock. Make contact with them and run a shock handling for each of them.”
My client the doctor was also in touch (no OT levels, just Kn) and I gave him the info given to Virginia,
And the three of us began contacting the victims, the spiritual Beings who had been killed in the 9/11 event.
At a spiritual level, it’s a simple R/D to do a shock handle. Contact, get into comm., check if in a shock, indicate if so, ask as to whether the shock caused them to disperse or implode, ack the answer, ask if attention is stuck on anything—inspection generally blows it, if not have them locate where it is and that unfixes them, then ask “what were your dreams and aspirations prior to the shock?” And have them look at continuing on to pursue that if they choose. (Most had dreams and aspirations related to their families.)
Virginia, who’s only had Kn and no Scn, but is familiar with spiritual teammates performed wonderfully, as did my doctor client/friend.
She processed more than several dozen Beings over the next day or two. One of the shocks she had while doing this was to discover when processing one of the individuals who had jumped from something like ninety stories up to avoid being slowly roasted to death that, a) how utterly painful it was when the individual hit the street below the building and, b) the guy bounced!
It is also interesting to note that she developed a temperature of 102 degrees while processing these folks (some of whom burned to death). I developed a diarrhea and vomiting fit while dealing with the traffic, and my doctor friend found himself feeling like he was choking on dust. In his case he did process an individual who suffocated on/under dust.
I let the Kn fraternity at the time know about this, and many others also chipped in to process spirit to spirit the victims.
But I tell you this in order to render an example of the abilities that are being recovered by the folks applying the tech in the way we do in Kn.
We are recovering our abilities and powers in the way all scientologists I know had always hoped to.
PS: and this is another issue of why S/NOTs is a bum steer. Senior to the physical universe, the only game left in town is a game with other spiritual Beings . . . . so we may as well get into some practice of it now.
