how about that supercool purple floating robe?

and what happened to the sequel to "the golden troubadour"? back in the autumn of 1980 you had just finished the section titled "the king's long journey" i liked tgt. a lot.

and you were there when CoS did that big infiltration of CADA. that's HISTORY! please write it up, PLEASE!!!

Oh man, that dude in the floating purple robe was really cool. I seem to have lost it somewhere along the line. If you can find it, let me know. But then, this Flower of Life I presently use is really quite a bit more apropos to where I'm at...at the moment. (Any idea what the "Flower of Life" is?)

Now as to the sequel to The Golden Troubadour, well, there is a very nice story surrounding that. I wrote it, titled it "Ariel". I was shooting for a half-million words, made it to around 400,000. Man o man, was an excellent sequel and an excellent story unto itself. I had a ball writing it. This was in the late 80s, early 90s.

Around that time, well, in August of '91, I had a spiritual experience beyond spiritual experiences...up to that time. I had been meditating in a certain quite specific way for a few months and then, IT HAPPENED! I experienced the opening of the chakras, The Enlightenment (as the Buddhists/Taoists call it), the energization of soul, the Opening to Spirit, finding The Path Within...it has many names, and it just does not exist until one experiences it.

I entered a new world, a new view of life, a new view of existence. I was now in the world of Buddhas and Ascended Masters.

Then, one fine day there in, oh, must have been their year 1992, late, I purged myself of burdens adopted prior to this experience, and threw away darn near everything...threw them all into a dumpster right there in Altadena, Californa. Threw away emeters, all of Hubbard's green and red volumes, all the super-secret moonchild-producing "NOTS", all that scientology/dianetic misleading lies, distortions and immateriality.

And, along with it all, all my writings up to that time, gone, poof, into the trash. No longer a part of me. I had found what I had really been looking for all this incarnation, and all before was no longer of any consequence.

And as for CADA, how totally immaterial. "History"? Sorry, dark, unenlightened "history" no longer of any significance, meaning, worth or relevance, none...get that: No relevance at all. Simply not a part of me any longer.

And as for writing, well, I have very little interest in human word systems, except as we play on the net. I now "read" Divine Light...and man o man, very different world.

well...

it is your own work

it is your right to throw it in the trash

so be it...


i would have liked to have read it but so be it...

and i had also harbored some small hope that when you tossed all the hubbard stuff you had spared that typewritten on scrap paper CLVI cert from saint hill signed by the tulpa himself...

i am a gawdawful sentimentalist wot?

jay-ziss gordon! that fukkin' BPC tech you originated made it possible for me to provide some bigtime relief for my stepfather when he was dying of cancer. i just couldn't have done what i did for him without an understanding of "BPC"

i dunno, i just don't know...

well, i'm not unfamiliar with satori and the opening of the chakras and raising the fire serpent from the kundalini to the chakra of a thousand lotus petals myself...

In that I'm not a political entity, it has nada to do with "rights". I was simply finished, and was traveling into a New Beginning.

And talking about kundalini...I don't use the Hindu terms but I know the terms. The first time I experienced a "kundalini" blowout, I was in a restaurant out in the desert east of LA and WhammoBang! away it went. All this Light energy blowing up the chakra line up and up out of the head. In a public restaurant! I'm sitting there all blown to Nirvana and back and being somewhat successful at maintaining a human demeanor. The Fountain of Hermes! (Hermes was a name Thoth used for a while. Now is most popularly known simply as The Buddha.)

I look back at that carrying on we did following the directions of an artificial entity, and I just giggle with a "How ridiculous." All that mind-illusion blippity blippity blumpity blump. Really carried the illusion of going somewhere and getting something done. Ah the great mindfuck: The Cognition. Really locks one into it, eh?

The "BPC" illusion was actually going on simultaneously with myself and Alan Walter. Alan carried it much, much further and submitted lists for BPC auditing.

doesn't lock me into it

but certainly there is sooooooo much in there to lock one into it

and yet...

there is more than enough in there to get one out of it

and i can't help but wonder if this is by design. for a guru to lock a chela in a jail cell with a hacksaw and the complete instructions for it's use seems perhaps to be a very good teaching tactic...


ahhh...

rights.


now there is a topic for endless essay. just in terms of specifics i would do anything within to stop someone other than gordon bennet bell from tossing out a gordon bennet bell manuscript

the thing in the restaurant had nothing to do with hindu philosophy. you are suffering from bipolar disorder. please make an appointment with a psychiatrist and get a prescription for the necessary psychoactive drugs

one thing you might tell me about the infiltration of CADA...

i was wondering...

van vogt was among those who formed the group back in 1950 and he was still it's president into the 90's. i was curious if the caper was initiated upon his death, CoS possibly by ron's dictate maintaining a respect for a colleague from the campbell era...

There had been several Presidents of CADA during the time from !950 until 1990's. Jack Horner was one. Lawrence West was another. There were others, as well, thru the years.
You can read about the infiltration in detail in the posts by Challenge ( or maybe I was being Ladayla) on ARS or OCMB. I don't think I posted the stories on here.
There was alsoan article about it in the LA Times expose of 1990 entitled " When the Doctrine Leaves the Church".

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
Oh when times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you

I'll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine

Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
