I am a newbie here, and I have been truly jacked with your stories about being in Scientology, particularly staff stories. I blew the HES post at the KC Org in 98, so I can relate, at least on some level, to what many of you have gone through. It was such a unique experience, so intensely self affecting, so truly private, that it was like a close encounter when I read other posts of there likewise personal, intense accounts. Enthralling and cathartic. Thank you.
I have a point to make about DM which I think is well worth making; to perhaps shed a different light on this man who is under such attack. I am perfectly willing to be absolutely off my rocker on even going down this road, but the observations of the man, though undoubtedly true, leave me with wondering why and how he arrived in the state he is in, and how this effects Scientology and Scientologists.
I don't think DM is an SP. He may be a man who has slid down the tone scale who is dramatizing a lot of low toned activity, but I don't think the guy is an SP and I don't think he's happy that Scientology is failing.
I think you have to agree the man is a pretty remarkable being, all in all. After all, by hook or by crook, he has ascended the throne and has by his own cunning and grit taken control of an organization which, for all practical purposes, is impossible to run. Can you imagine trying to grow an organization with its countless "technologies" needing to be duplicated and applied, with people who, in the main, struggle to master even 1 thing in life? I own a service business and I know the frustration in trying to get others to learn and apply correctly the correct technologies. When my people fail to apply, there are really no serious consequences-just wasted time, trouble, and money. But nobody will get sick and nobody will die if things aren't done right.
Scientology, as you know, requires precise application. It requires duplication, understanding, and application. When applied correctly, it works.
I just can't help but think it is just something that basic which has DM acting so depraved. He has tried and tried and tried to get others to "get it" , with genuine sincerity, only for them to not get it and for him to take continual losses-to the point where he is now. I've been there. I know what it's like to teach somebody correctly only to have them slowly squirrel the tech over time. I've watched my tech squirreled, and I've rehatted, and I've gotten ethics in, but I must tell you, after a while I came to the conclusion that only I was able to truly deliver my tech correctly, consistently. As a consequence, I felt less regard for my employees and found my self respecting them less and less. I became less friendly and angry at even slight mistakes. My people feared me. It became me and them. People quit. But the one's that stayed didn't fuck up any less, really.
My salvation came when I started another business with a whole lot easier tech to apply which made gobs more money. Then I quit being so concerned about the first business. I wasn't dependent on whether the tech was appled correctly or not.
DM does not have that priveledge. He has to get this tech in. He doesn't have other options. He only has who he has to get it in with. Can you imagine being in that position? Do you think you could honestly do better? Can you imagine taking on the responsibility he has and then watch people constantly fail and misapply the tech. Could you be anything but pissed? What kind of superman could step into that job and persist with a smiley face?
Its no wonder he and Tom Cruise have hit it off so well. Tom Cruise is a true upstat and he "gets it" and finally DM has somebody he can truly count on, someone who won't let him down. Tom Cruise is an exemplary product of Scientology and I think DM feels he is one as well-perhaps the only one prior to Tom Cruise. I know the power one derives from having just one other person totally in your court. With that, miracles can happen. Don't be surprised if things dramatically change for the better due to this connection.
If it doesn't, I will probably conclude that DM lacks the intelligence to know he should step down and let somebody else take a crack at it.
