One thing that always struck me as interesting, and odd, about the SO and Class V staff was how few of them had received much, if any auditing, and how little progress they had made up the Bridge.
Did anyone ever wonder why, while the COS could tell everyone else it was worth spending their children's college funds, maxing out their credit cards, mortgaging their homes, and entering into funky loans to pay for auditing on the grounds that it would make them more effective, and more than pay for itself in the long run, it wasn't worth it to the COS to give their own personnel sufficient time off, and devote sufficient resources to staff auditing, to make its own staff more effective? If auditing is so effective, and indeed such a force multiplier, wouldn't it make sense to have your own staff receive auditing, and indeed auditing to Clear and the OT levels, first?
If auditing was such a good investment -- and indeed such a good investment that public Scientologists should max out their credit cards, take out loans, and mortgage their homes to pay for it -- then why didn't the COS devote the time and resources necessary to make sure its own staff received the benefits of auditing?
It simply doesn't make sense. Unless, of course, the upper level decision makers in the Church always knew and believed that auditing was, if not completely ineffective, then a poor investment from the standpoint of cost benefit analysis. That delivering auditing to its staff was not worth the time of the auditors (who, during much of my time in, weren't doing shit anyways because there weren't near enough public PCs), or the value of the time of for their staff members. Staff members who were making, what?, 5 cents an our?
Ever hear of the management principle that an organization should eat its own dog food? Apparently the "dog food" of auditing was not worth the time and effort necessary to deliver to the Church of Scientology's own staff.
