Well Mims...Meester Clay Pidgeon - if scientology worked - wouldn't the orgs be packed, overflowing even? If word got out that scientology could deliver what it promised you couldn't keep people away. Am I not correct?
The answer is right in the pl Keeping Scientology Working - You can only be upbraided for lack of results.
That's the funny thing about having to M-7 that pl multiple times - it never sunk in that the fatal flaw in all of Scientology can so simply be stated, and what is worse, overlooked by the bulk of Scio. adherents.
Sure, there are wins here and there, I got plenty of them. But the eps that Scientology promised? Tumbleweeds blowing through the orgs reception.
HOWEVER! An original Hubbard idea? I would think perhaps power processing might qualify - or creative processing - or objectives - or listing and nulling. I think he had a bunch of original ideas such as GPMs, R2-12, 3M & other goals listing stuff but I also don't know if they were all that fruitful.
There are some oldtimers who swear by that stuff, and believe Hubbs gave it the deep 6 and then ran with implant GPMs such as found in CC, OT2, OT3 R-6 implant.
I must say, that I was never at Saint Hill in it's haydays and I don't know how many of those processes were the fruit of his students genius minds - perhaps Roger, Veda or some of the others have a better understanding to their genesis. But if they were his or someone else's ideas, workable or not, they are still pretty creative stuff.

It was actually pretty lively when I was in.
The second week I was on staff at FCDC we set a new record with a CGI of $22K breaking the $13K record set in the 50's when Ron ran the place. that record lasted one week and broken for a third straight week going over $40K and it mostly stayed between $40 and $70K all the time I was there. The Academy filled and a second room was added, it filled and a third was added. One Saturday morning I walked into the D of P's office and there were 50, five-oh paid intensives on the scheduling board.
We worked hard and long but by god we had some fun.
And some of that fun involved things apparently of an "OT" nature
A handful of PC's got refunds but no one who bought training asked their money back
But...
"OT" is a peak experience and unpredictable. And people are as fallible as "OT"s as are dull denizens of the mundane world. And what arrived at FCDC from the Apollo often seemed to have a broomstick stuck up it's butt. John Brodie was one of the wondrous success stories of the time but Phil Spickler was Declared so John stopped returning CoS phone calls
and on, and on...
A Teacher can deliver Teaching
Learning must be delivered by the student...
But once upon a time a hiillbilly from the white mountains came upon the jeweled hilt of a sword protruding from a large stone and it yielded to his grasp and he drew it ou and raised it to the sun and for a brief moment...
