Your closing paragraph and ack to me is one of the biggest wins I have ever had too. For you who achieved OT VIII to receive such a great lift from my acknowledgement just blows me out as well. It just sends me a signal that the large amount of time I am spending on ESMB is time well spent. Just in case you are wondering, I got as far as finishing the "old OT Levels, pre NOTs" and also completed audited NOTs and in training I am Interned on NED and did my Academy levels but never interned on them.
How am I able to read you so well? You are an open book, you are not in someone else's valence but you go through life being yourself. I have been that way myself but too much so to a degree where my openness and forthrightness was hurting my dynamics and impacting on my loved ones. I just got this area sorted out here on ESMB over perhaps the last two or three weeks.
Anyway, what I am saying is that I share some of the traits which you have and after reading just a few paragraphs in your very finely written first post on this thread, I pretty much knew who you are and what you were all about. It boils down pretty much to you being an open book type of being, "what you see is what you get" and I am the same way. For an honest person who is going through life being themselves, it is easy for me to read you without any effort and I figure you have that same ability vis a vis reading me. I believe in keeping a childlike happy, spirit of play type of approach to life and this enables me to pick up rather effortlessly on other open beings who share some of these traits with me.
Please read my personal story thread, "The Old Days - Aboard the Apollo - 1973" The first 11 pages cover my personal stories onboard the Apollo and my prequel having to do with my initial days at CCLA. That took up only 11 pages and we are not up to Page 167 on the thread. The story of why and how that happened is told on the thread. We, two other people are working with me on this, are trying to create a high level internet type of newspaper or magazine site here on ESMB. I love writing and this is the first time I have ever really tried to use and develop my writing skills and my Apollo thread has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. Please check it out. It is very informative and we have some of the best minds on ESMB posting there on a regular basis on many different topics. For example, Blue Spirit is one of my regular posters. I am recruiting you to come over and read up a little of my thread and then start posting there.
NEWLY ADDED PARAGRAPH ON TR2 - ADDED ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER WRITING THIS POST
Way back in 1970 when I took my first comm course, TR 2, was perhaps the most important tool WHICH I learned. I have used it more than any other piece of Scio tech over the decades. It is amazing what proper usage of TR 2 can do for one's life. A lot of the detractors of Hubbard and the tech bemoan the lack of OT abilities such as remote viewing because they want to spy on beautiful women bathing and dressing or some such activity. They also want to read minds and move matter by will alone. They claim that no one can do any of these things so that the tech is all a con game. To me, knowledge of TR 2 and learning how to use and apply it is vastly more important in improving conditions in real life than all those parlor trick type OT abilities combined. Good TR 2 alone can open an unbelievable number of doors in life. I urge anyone to just go out into your normal daily routine but emphasize excellent acknowledgements to all people whom you encounter and see what happens. For young people trying to get a 2D going, it is a very powerful tool you can use to win somebody over. You can use TR 2 and get a spiritual being to give you affinity and also partake of pleasures of the flesh rather than just using remote viewing to spy on just the flesh part of a being. Think about it, which is the morre "OT" ability?
Thank you IMMORTAL so much for your kind words to me - Lakey
Lakey! Thank you again! I see you've added more to this about TR2-acknowledgment. What you say is sooooo true. Really, it is
amazing what a proper acknowledgment will do for one's life. It's an amazing ability to have.
I have to add more to this. It's not just saying fine, or ok, or allright, or nodding, or something like this. For me (and maybe others) it's more. I appreciate it when people actually understand what I'm saying and duplicate it. Then, when they acknowledge me, I feel I have actually been heard and duplicated.
I'll use what you did with me to hopefully explain myself more fully. You went a step beyond acknowledging a simple communication cycle. You looked at the overall cycle including many communication cycles I've had on this thread with many people and made observations about me, who I am and what my motives are. You duplicated me by evaluating the content of my communication, the level of affinity and reality I revealed in my words, and how I handled communication given to me. Then, based on all of your observations, you made some succinct statements about me that I found to be
true. This truth resulted in a great feeling of relief that I had, in actual fact, made myself duplicatable and had been heard and duplicated. Not just my words, but who I am and what my intentions are. Then, you gave me a very, very theta acknowledgment. This is a step beyond what is normally called an acknowledgment in a comm cycle. And I so appreciated knowing that I had actually achieved presenting myself honestly and with reality.
This all leads back to why I am here. I am on a quest for the
truth. I feel the truth has been obscured from me for all these years and I was not allowed to look for it either for reasons I felt would inhibit my survival. I so appreciate everyone's references and links. It will take some time for me to get through them, but I will get through them. Along the way, I will discover the truth and will feel much relief as a result of it. And hopefully anyone else reading and/or participating in this thread will also gain more truth as a result of all the discussion and varying viewpoints.
Already, on this thread, I've confirmed my original inkling of a suspicion that the PTS tech (mostly labeling and disconnection) was/is used by the church to control. I believe that the PTS tech can be used by the individual to aid their dynamics and that there are natural laws about this. People will leave behind some jerk who is giving them a hard time and trying to stop them from achieving their goals. Natural.
And, you're right. Not only is it a courageous move to stick one's neck out anywhere in opposition to Scientology and/or the church, whether anonymously or not, but to stick one's neck out as an OTVIII on a board comprised of people from all viewpoints. I have been made to feel very, very welcome and have learned so much already.
Everyone, thank you for your love and support. Lakey, thank you for such a beautiful acknowledgment!
