I think Rat'n Rind are preferable to DM and if DM were pushed out and replaced by Rat'n Rind then there would be a revival of fortunes of the Church of Scientology. But this is saying a lot when you consider the nature of Rinder and Rathbun. Rinder, as head of OSA, did nastier things than DM is being criticised for now. OK, he isn't slapping people and making them play musical chairs but he has broken up many families. That people feel sorry for the treatment he is getting now is to me laughable. He deserves what he is getting plus a lot, lot more. It speaks volumes about DM that Rinder is prefered to DM. And as for Rathbun, then with his technical knowledge and experience with Scientology then he must know that although the "tech" might help some people then overall it was never what it was claimed to be. A Clear is no better than a wog and worse still, he is "at risk" and must move on the OT3. And an OT3 is no better than a wog because they too are "at risk" and must move on up to OT5. And I am sure that Rathbun has worked out that telepathically auditing your space cooties is of no real benefit. And as for the cognition on OT8 that "now I know who I am not and am interested to find out who I am" then any fool can see that the reason they thought of themselves as a different person was the absurdity of accepting what they were told in that they were full of space cooties "body thetans" so this is a negative gain. Most wogs do not think they are somebody else and get on with their lives so by that argument they are better off than OT8s. Add to this the Introspection Rundown (better known as the Lisa McPherson Rundown) which must be obvious to anyone is there to threaten and silence those who start to doubt about the usefulness of paying vast sums of money for "auditing" and dare to voice their opinion. Any fool can see that the tech is overall dangerous, false and harmful. Marty Rathbun must see this from his perspective and yet there he is pretending everything is rosy with Scientology apart from DM.
I hope both of those scumbags meet up with an accident. I'd rather DM stayed there and finished destroying Scientology. If he can stay until the end of 2010 then I think the job is as good as done.
The technology of Scientology is something else. It came out as an effort by Hubbard to handle his own case. He used the world as a laboratory for no one else. He used it for himself.
Hubbard went to all the best sources that he could find. He got a lot out of them, but he could never handle the core of his case. Ultimately, he went to Buddhism, which could have handled the core of his case, but he denied that knowledge to himself. He disagreed with the key point of Buddhism – Nirvana, because that meant giving up his lust, his cravings, his individuality. Instead, he turned around and made individuality the cornerstone of his philosophy and developed OT levels. This was 180 degree turn around from Buddhism.
Basically, when Hubbard came face to face with his core aberration, his attachment to it was just too much. He could not give it up. And to make himself right he had to experiment with others to prove himself right. But what he ended up producing were bloated and status happy egos in himself and others.
Between heaven and hell, good and evil, sanity and insanity, there is only a hair’s breadth separation.
I never did OT levels, but I studied them until I satisfied myself of what they really are. There is nothing new in OT levels. One is running the same lower level processes again but not on himself. He is running them again and again on an endless number of BTs.
But where is any sense in all this? It starts to make sense when you see that one is now running one’s own case but on a via. One is running one’s own case thinking that it is not one’s own case that one is running. Xenu’s incident is nothing but an attempt to run Dianetics on a via. Basic-basic was conceived to be some sort of an explosion.
Why is this deception there? For Hubbard, this was not deception. It was simply an effort to approximate Buddha’s technique of “look without thinking, experience without resisting,” while maintaining one’s individuality. Hubbard was terrified of losing his individuality. To him, losing his individuality meant the alternative of becoming one with the universe, which he hated. He didn’t realize that the universe was also extinguished in Nirvana, as it was simply a dichotomy of individuality. He missed that one… “individuality –universe” is a dichotomy.
The Bridge should have ended with OT III, but it didn’t because the results were not there, and so we see just a confused effort beyond OT III by a confused Hubbard. NOTs is simply an expansion of running Dianetics on a via. The results available from NOTs are no different from the results available on lower-level Dianetics when run with “look without thinking, experience without resisting” approach. That is what I did without knowing I was doing that having brought up with an eastern upbringing.
OT levels served Hubbard in other ways too. It provided an explanation for his almost defunct theory of “Clear.” (It didn’t really.) It provided him another way to keep on making money to boost up his individuality further. (He must have been amazed at the gullibility of others.) But the little that worked under this big long and drawn out show was Buddha’s principles of “look without thinking, experience without resisting.”
Marty’s job in keeping Scientology going won’t be that easy as there is a lot more competition to Scientology now. Mental technology has been advancing rapidly. We now have idenics, Metapychology, Knowledgism, etc., out there. Besides all of Scientology technology is available outside the Church. Now that the failures of tech cannot be protected through the suppression of criticism, the bubble of the invincibility of “LRH Tech” will burst with big fanfare.
That is how it should be.

Just fyi tho, someone already posted the info a few posts ago!
