On July 1st a great man passed. His name was Raymond Peace. He was on this earth for 90 years. He was a great man because he understood the secret to life was love. He loved everyone and everyone who came into contact with him couldn't help but love him back.
He got into Scientology in Austin Texas and came to LA about 10 years ago. During his stay in LA he was always available to help anyone who needed it. He volunteered for more things than anyone I've ever seen. He was a volunteer minister because he loved people and knew he could help them just with his admiration and appreciation for the person, together with a big dose of enthusiasm.
Everyone knew you could depend on Raymond to get things done. His friends started referring to him as an OT, meaning "Operating Texan". He liked that title so much that he put it at the top of his business card. The Church did not get the joke and raised a big stink over this!
About a year ago he moved back to Texas to be with his family, so he hasn't been around to see the Anonymous protests. But if he had been here I can imagine what he would have done. He was never afraid of committing the "only crime in the universe", that of being there and communicating. I could just envision him walking out to greet each and everyone of us with a warm smile and a firm handshake and telling us the story about how he became known as an Operating Texan. And he would have danced with all the ladies.
He loved dancing with the ladies! He would have loved us all and we would have loved him back.
And we would have seen that Scientology in the hands of someone with love in his heart and soul would do no harm. There would be no reason to protest if Scientology were run by men such as Raymond. Love does not fair game. Love does not RPF. Love does not disconnect families. Love does not send goons out to harass those who disagree with it. Love has no secrets or crimes. Love simply admires and appreciates and spreads it's love far and wide.
Godspeed Raymond, thanks for being here and sharing your love.
