The Little Thread Which Grew - the Apollo '73 to Everything But

[Leon]

Well done Candy! ! ! ! Whoop-De-Joy (or something like that). I'm getting more queries again for auditing now that the recession is receding. Hopefully I'll be back at it again full time before long.

There's something special about oceanside Christmases too.

Great post Face, quite apropos for our current discussions, especially Judaism. MAB's erudite comments regarding "Thou Shalts" and "Thou Shalt Nots" seem to me to be closely related to your experiences as regards your first session as compared with all you subsequent sessions. It is also apropos as to how a lower trained person such as myself can help a more highly trained person such as Purple Haze.

Your student auditor just listened with complete presence and acknowledged. Undoubtedly he or she really "cared" about you and wanted to help you. The key point is that this student had not yet been indoctrinated into all the "thou shalts" and "thou shalt nots" of auditing procedure.

Perhaps my biggest gain in Scientology was the learning of the theory and procedure of TR 2 while having some semblance of TR0 in. This would be right in line with your student auditor's procedures.

Being there for another person, listening and acknowledging so that the person knows they have been heard (and hopefully duplicated), is the crux of auditing or probably any valid therapy. This is how I am able to give Candy a substantial amount of relief, even though her auditing knowledge and skills are far beyond mine.

It is a magic elixer which anyone can use to help another person. The term "safe space" is often used to describe a person who is a good listener. The thing that sets me apart from the new group of friends which I have made in psychic and para psychology circles is that I go out of my way to be a good listener and I give very high affinity acknowledgements.

In examining my dialogues with these people, they have above average TR's but none of them goes out of their way to really focus on the person they are talking to and then really listen intently to what that person is saying and then give a high affinity type of acknowledgement. Occasionally, if I have had a big win, they will give a large high affinity ack; it really feels good when that occurs.

I can understand that Hubbard would not promote doing this "Listen and Acknowledge" therapy. Doing so would have been counterproductive to the expansion of his empire. Still, most ex Scientologists were trained to be able to do this so if we are smart enough to figure out how powerful it is, then it is ours to use from here on out.

The other day, over the phone, i ran out an automobile accident on someone who was in ICU. With a tube down his throat, his communication was a little mushy. I just figured by tones of voice what he was saying, and carried on using straightforward commands, questions, and acknowledgements. It worked fine. He felt better at the end.

My New Year's resolution re 2011

re: AUDITING AND THETA TRAINING


Open letter to everyone:



When working with L. Ron Hubbard on the ship, he awarded me the top Sea Org Missionnaire status of POWER for my New Era Dianetics Mission to NYC. I then went on to be the Celebrity Auditor for Yvonne Gillham's Celebrity Center here in Hollywood. After this I set up very successful Field Practices, Auditing, C/S-ing and hatting class 8 Auditors.


Then I retired home to Hawai'i. Yawn...


While the thought of retiring was good in theory, in reality, being separated from what I love doing the most, is proving to be cruel and unusual punishment. Upon this basis, I've decided to take on new Auditing clients and train new Auditors, since it does concern me that such skills of excellence are not being passed onto the next generation.


Therefore, if anyone wants Training and/or Auditing in my specialty areas, please contact me with your details by return email.


Merry Christmas and a very prosperous 2011

Dear Darling "Dumb Blonde",
Having often characterized you as this I should
clarify. Its very much a term of endearment, and a recognition of your ability with basics. As you showed me with your div 6 materials on these and some
stories of your accomplishments. And seeing you in action with a random
excessive Christian. [ wasn't me this time ]

I'm a div 6 guy. My job.

I recognise a master in this area. One who is quite supreme in granting beingness.

And I should add one supreme in having fun!

Trey Lotz told me your PCs love you.

I'm jealous.

If people ask in your area I'll refer them to you.

Have to go Crowley on you, You are a star.

A BIG star......Love bb

There was a recipe thread a few moments ago. I copied 2 family standards, then I looked for the thread. I can't find it, so I'm gonna post these here.

Both of these recipes can add ten pounds to your frame just by reading them. They are to die for delicious. We, our family, that is, have been making them for ages.

WINTER SOLSTICE IN THREE DAYS.

Tyranny and shackles of any form does not the bird fly free.

With all her sweetness, a wonderful woman from Oz sugar coated the poisonous stinger which left even the best of us numb to the experience of our own truth being laid asunder.

The group was everything, the individual only as valuable as one could contribute to the group. Money was/is king, and, if you weren’t a money generator or receiver, you had to enslave yourself and your next billion years to mindless unquestioning emptiness of duty.

With all my heart and golden rays, I subtly shone the open doorway for many to walk through and question the enclosing encapsulating claustrophobic walls of brainwashing and Godless beauty. Hollow promises were being made for millions of dollars, never to be fulfilled, at every level of the operation: keep your eye on the bouncing ball and the chain becomes invisible. Keep your eyes on the carrot in the skies as you drift slowly into the bottomless abyss.

Did you ever notice the prize did not exist: that there was no end to the endless bridge to total freedom? Did you even care to pay attention to your reality’s subtle shift or was your reach and determination too great, the river’s momentum too strong to resist, as you floated effortlessly along in incubation…hibernation, subjugation, separation from all you once held dear?

Waking up is the hard part. Seeing how you’ve been played for a fool is not fun. And those of you who joined in with the feeding frenzy of innocence and bliss, now have a karmic debt your are unable to pay, being morally bankrupt by association. You lash out helplessly at the very target you once were beholden, and, if gagged, your futile gasps at breath and freedom paralyze you further, as you struggle to ex-hale their exhaust of deadly poisonous gases.

It is done.

Coming home to rest, the pigeon brings a message from the dove of peace:

WINTER SOLSTICE IN THREE DAYS.

GATHERING UP OF FORCES:

The blessed times approach: a window of opportunity ahead.

Transcending time, all is forgiven once again.

The New Year will begin with new promises and hope;

The past transgressing, forgiven:

Happyness and Peace

To ALL, and to all

a good night.

Absolutely brilliant prose Candy!!! That is a real display of writing abilitiy. What a poetic statement of the viscious rip off which so many of us participated in, fought to further, and deposited our life savings into. QUESTION: Does Candy or anyone else feel that Yvonne would have awoken to the evils of C of S, had she lived longer (she died in 1978 when she was about 46 or 47)?

Beautiful, concise and poetic. Just as many "notes" as are required to get a concept across on a very high and aesthetic wavelength.

Incredible achievement in helping this person, Carmelo. Just getting a major cycle of action complete by thinking on your feet and improvising a little. Very impressive!

Well done Candy! ! ! ! Whoop-De-Joy (or something like that). I'm getting more queries again for auditing now that the recession is receding. Hopefully I'll be back at it again full time before long.

Leo,

Wonderful news down under!

The recession has dug in up over here, seems to me. I go by stats, not all the pretty political promises.

Very very GOOD LUCK with that!

Need a C/S? I'm brilliant, up here in my ivory tower.

Aloha,

Did you ever notice the prize did not exist: that there was no end to the endless bridge to total freedom?

I laughed out loud on reading this. Back in 1981, as I was in the process of disconnecting from CoS (it always feels good to be the causative agent) and getting quite a bit of my money back (I had just asked for the prepay back, but then they pissed me off), I got a call from some woman down at AOLA who tried everything to get me to stop.

I finally got fed up with the call and told her I had EP'ed on Scientology. She sounded genuinely shocked that anyone could say this. She kept insisting over and over (and over and over) again that Scientology had no EP. I replied that what was true for her was true for her ... and hung up.

Yep, the Kool-Aide tastes a lot worse coming up, than it did going down.

That, dear Mark, is a whole different system. Like saying 'cure your brain aneurism by popping a pimple'.

Do you ever actually *think* about the implications of what you write?

Zinj

 

[shadow]

I believe Mark's way of eliminating the kool-aid includes complete processing before eliminating the waste. This would entail a higher risk of poisoning, as the body digests and metabolizes the toxic substances.

Whereas Jack's method refers to rejecting the kool-aid much quicker and reducing the extent of potential poisoning (so to speak).

Candy . . .

This is THE BEST rant I've read anywhere, at any time, everrrrr!

A magnificent rant . . . and the son's of bitches deserve being lampooned and ranted about!

I just got back from some days off from ESMB, traveling on business etc., and I have returned to the BEST rant everrrr.

I thank you.

Strikes me the SOB who did the nasty deal with your coffee shop might have committed fraud in that he sold the shop under false pretenses to the new "owners" ?

You're too nice a person to have this shit put on you . . . but then nice folks tend to trust

I'm pondering on all this.

Rog

Sorry about being such a train-wreck lately, world.

Had a couple of run-ins with supposedly good friends of mine in the past week, along with a head-on crash from a psychotic trail house person, which has left my body in a lot of pain since Friday.

Why these good ole men think they have the right to put and keep us real women down, after all the oppression and threat by the macho feminists, is beyond my ken.

I gotta go buy you some food and water, dear? You fucking ass-twerp! Get a fucking job and stop trying to live off this woman’s kindness and generous spirit, for naught in return. Get your gigolo ass in gear and pull yourself outta yer own hole by yer boot straps and get me some money, honey. Charging me rent {...} is beginning to get under my skin…and you have the audacity to want me to pay half of your property tax on top of that!?#&!

Where do men get off thinking that us women owe them the world?

I got a friend I just took to a lovely party last night, who I’ve known for forty years…:dance2:

I made the mistake, apparently [he told me after, like a nagging housewife, on our way to my car for me to drive his sorry ass all the way back to the place he freely resides] of telling his new love interest that I had bought him his first guitar. He still owes me for it, as promised [including a promissory note for $6000 he wrote and brought to me at my home in Hawaii ten years prior to now] but can or will he ever pay even a penny for it? What kind of dishonesty is this? Pot head kind. Wonder if I started charging him back interest with penalties set from now on, say, a measly 4%, doubling every year from this day forward until paid in full: maybe that would get his sorry ass in gear and be good for his music career… maybe I’m the bad guy in this, allowing him to whine his way along the garden path, never getting off his duff..

This brings me to the other dude, his royal highness introduced me to, who scalped me and totally betrayed my trust…stealing my café right out from under me: the first weekly check for $200 cleared, the next bounced…by the time I was able to get together the money to pay for my airfare, get out of my new living situation and intimate relationship, and get meself back to LA and walk into the door of my little ole café, to see how it had been raped and pillaged and laid bare…too late! Fuck wad had flown the coop  I couldn’t even ever get back my beautyful French grain grinder still sitting in the kitchen, because the folks he had sold it to, who changed the name so they didn’t owe the $15,000 in bad credit he had rung up in 2 months’ time, had resold it and the people now owning it had turned it into a bakery, etc, etc.

It sickens me to think of it, all purty, with all my personal stuff still in it, ransacked and taken down to the pit of desperation… how my customers must have suffered my disappearance, helpless at the hands of a maniac macho man supposed business manager, ex tow truck driver, con artist, I later found out…

So, did Frankie ever take any responsibility for turning me over to this kingpin of intimidation and hidden mental filth? And now I’m in touch with him through Facebook, 33 years later… Mr. David Aaron Seville, once Riley, a Jewish bastard very much like the NYC punk that took over and terrorized the North Shore, Fast Eddie, head of the black trunk mafia, now smelling like a rose since he got off scott-free from the master coke distributor charges…don't get me wrong. I love Jews up close in personal. As a culture, they're quite amazing, over time. And remember, I was married to a wonderful Jewish man, Ira.

No wonder the feminists got crazy. All these bad apples spoiled the vat of wonderful men who slave away every day for their women and children: the family man who doesn’t screw around, has a true-blue heart of gold…not forced on him by some cult who threatens and destroys everyone’s lives by mental stress and physical intimidation and outright domination:nailbiting::shock:, but excels by his own good nature.

The rant is done. What do I do with this stuff?

Post it here!
