I would go by my interpretation of HCOBs and HCOPLs that are rational to me. I would reject those interpretation of HCOBs and HCOPLs that appear irrational to me.

Remember, there are always more than one interpretation to almost everything.

See... same bible... how many different christianities!

Don't forget Hubbard's confidential writings, including his confidential HCOPLs. Hubbard certainly didn't forget them, nor does Miscavige.

I would suggest that it's far more efficient, when you're looking for raisins, to go down to the store and buy a box, rather than hunting for them in turds, even though you might find some there too.

Even the most reasonable and rational HCOBs and HCOPLs are tainted by their provenance.

Dear Jim,
you are right with the fact that what is going on is completely off the rails, and I personally might be still able to see some use in some of the basic tech, however, that was not the point of my posting. My point was that in the data series itself LRH states that NOTHING of what is written in an eval can violate HCO PLs or HCOBs. So what does that mean? It means that at the very end, LRH himself put the control in on what is to be a right why, or what is to be done. Does that not mean it is a totally controlled system, that does not allow independant or outside thinking? Anything that would violate a HCOB or HCO PL would not be allowed in an eval. That was my point. What is going on now is so far off the rails that it is evil, really black Scientology at it's best. But even if this would not be the case, there would be no allowance for a real honest look with the data series, I am afraid, as anything that is violating Policy or Tech is just not allowed in such an eval. It is a self controlled system. LRH knew exactly what he was doing.
Petra

Dear Petra,
Sweetheart, you sound like one to me so I hope you don't mind if I use that, but here's the truth of it. In the Data Series, it is very well stated that 'policy' if need be, will be reviewed and set or cancelled. That is also part of the Admin Scale, and make no mistake, LRH realized and wrote that policy by necessity would evolve. Tech on the other hand was made Standard and by sheer experience he found that for whatever goddamn reason others just couldn't consistently get that together. Not that they didn't every now and then and those parts are still there, albeit under his name, but it was inconsistent. So he said that's it on it.

LRH worked non-stop to refine and work this body of work. What is there as Standard Tech is a workable route. It isn't a perfect route, but it works and it will get one to the point where one doesn't need to hold someone's hand or ask for OK to have an idea or do something or create or just go on and be whoever or whatever it is they want. With NO limits on it. You see, the product is a free being and since we are all so different then who can say what we all do or think or whatever. Policy is meant and clearly stated to be a means to co-operative action amongst a group composed of individuals who freely decide to work co-operatively. It is OUR group, not just LRH's. In fact, he isn't even here anymore. What we do with it is our responsibility and blaming Ron is a tired old wrong why is God. And remember, he too was a being, with his own ideas. Can you grant him that beingness and maybe see if it was your own ideal being that you wanted him to be and just because he personally wasn't doesn't mean he threw you a curve with the work.

The fact is, on an eval, policy is meant as an Ideal Scene from which to judge departures, but there is plenty of stuff in the Data Series which covers an 'operating scene' that isn't in policy and if it's working then that's the whole freakin' point. You don't then wreck it because it is 'off policy'. You see what I mean. What works is the senior datum. That's the truth. Not slavish obedience. That, was never LRH's aim or intention. Come on now, you think he wanted us going to him for permission to wipe our backsides or read a book or succeed or, or you get it?

An eval that leads to a wrong why and drops stats is to be cancelled. No matter who did it. Including Ron. He wanted this to succeed, not just be 'right'. And that is in the Data Series and all over the place in the data. Just because we deny ourselves and our own ability to see and have the courage to look and say what we observe doesn't then mean Ron was out to get you. He pleaded, extolled, exhorted, cried, yelled, screamed and did everything a guy could do to get us to stand on our own two damned feet and take responsibility for our own lives and stop asking him for a license to survive. Will you please see that you, you yourself, are a causitive, caring, capable, honest, and vibrant, living, independent being who is all that is positive and right about life and pick up your own bootstraps, get on that horse again and ride it like you know what you are doing and if you don't then for God's sake, read the subject, all of it, and everything you can get your hands on, and find out. It's quite a horse once you get some skill with it. My best to you. Jim

That remark makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Normally, I'd dismiss it, but since you seem like a smart (raisin-filled) cookie - would you care to expand on it?

Jim, what is your definition of "appropriate tenor"?

I was aware of your history with Annie - I read your posts. I replied perfectly civilly. Are you saying that disagreement with you is not "appropriate"?

You appeared to completely discount the possibility that LRH was on a money-grab, I pointed out accounts that indicate otherwise. If you've read them and discounted them, that is fine by me. Thank you for clarifying that.

I was too long in Scn and even longer out of it to be interested in playing the LRH game of altitude. In my opinion everybody's experience and point of view is valid. You have your experience of Scn, I have mine. Mine is as valid as yours.

That is the "tenor" that I feel is appropriate.

All I did was have the temerity to ask you how you could be sure that LRH was not on a mony-grab. What is "inappropriate" about that? My reply http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthread.php?p=46082#post46082 was perfectly civil and genuine.

I value your replies and input as someone who was close to "Source" for a period of time. That does not imply that I automatically must agree with your interpretation of your experience.

I reserve the right to question any assumptions you make about LRH and Scn.

Thanks Vin. If you are lumping me in with "some critics" I beg to disagree with your analysis of my point of view.

I am perfectly capable of separating Scn theory and application from "Source's" misapplication of it.

In my opinion LRH was one of the worst squirrels and misapplier of Scn tech in the history of Scn. I keep separate the Black Scn that he devised for the GO and such nonsense from the public Scn in the books and lower level courses. I keep separate his SO punishments and controls from the theory of engrams, secondaries and locks and ARC of Scn. I keep separate the relatively non-evaluative lower levels from the rather highly evaluative upper levels.

Basic, public Scn up to Grade 5 contains some fantastic techniques and I am the first to praise the wonderful gains I got from it and produced in others.

In order to clearly unpick the tangled web that LRH wove of Scn, Black Scn, and upper level dramatisation of Ron's interpretation of his own case, I believe it is necessary to see things as clearly as possible. This includes viewing LRH's faults and mistakes as well as we can, in addition to recognising his great attributes.

Criticism of something Ron did is not an A=A with criticism of Scn. It would be a mistake to judge it so.

I will continue to point out any failures on LRH's part to apply Scn basics. This should not be interpreted as a "condemnation" of Scn. It is an A=A to do that.

To steal a phrase from the Gawdfadder, "just when I thought I was out..."

LH,
You have the tenor. I was looking for informed discussion, respect and well presented ideas. The above is all of that. From the above, I see you have seen the stuff work and grant that up to Grade V. That in itself is something we both have seen with our very own eyebones. There it is, the meter is reading, the pc is running and it goes to F/N, wait, wait, there's the cog and the postulate and my isn't that guy happy. Later on he tells you he likes his little brother again. My, it DID work. Then, some failure, some thing didn't turn out. Well, now the invitation to 'well it works some times and he is a dog pc and I can't understand what the hell he's saying on the Laws of L&N anyway, truth be told, and why didn't he write this clearly and he touched his pee-pee and he liked to have sex with MSH and, and, oh my god... I've been decieved!!!!! What about this Aleister Crowley shit too!!!! Is this the devil!!!Holy crap, not only did I not get an F/N, I'm a freakin' Satanist!!! That's not what I signed up for No Sirreee, he's a fargin icehole and I'm fargin pissed!!!!

In any event, keep at it and I hope in the denouement you get all this aligned and hop over the fence. It's pretty cool over here and you are very welcome to come on over. Jimbob

One just have to be rational and/or intuitive on one's own determinism. That is the ultimate one can ask of anybody.

Yes, watching that e-meter do its thing was impressive - especially when one thought of it as a kind of truth detector, and that "it will tell you," etc. But e-meters have severe limitations and can mislead. Particularly at the super-hyped and suggestion-packed "Implant"/"Upper" Levels.

People learn and evolve.

It appears that you're colliding with more information than you can easily examine - that's why you need time.

It's too late to sing a lullaby of "Standard tech" and lull people back to sleep, or to dreamland.

The revelations of the Gerry Armstrong and Omar Garrison LRH Bio materials, the revelations of the Scientology materials collected after the issuing of Search Warrants on LA and Washington DC orgs - and so much more - make the prior state of "innocence" nearly impossible.

And with the Internet - well, the cat's out of the bag.

Have totally loved your posts Jim. I take a small issue here.

" Very well stated....etc"

I'd say hedged and grudgingly stated.

DATA series 49, which I quoted earlier also says:-

" Any recomendation in this eval for change of policy or tech must be
cleared by the watchdog commitee (WDC) before being placed in an eval as a target and resulting PL or bulletin must be reviewed by the founder personally."

In New vols data series 48, and dated 26 DEC 1979.

I've long suspected that the eval line was corrupted, because the stats declined.

1979 was probably the high point of COS stats. Its not very clear when LRH lost full control and knowledge of management lines. Not sure who comprised the WDC in 1979, or how diligently they would apply this PL. Or
even pass on info to LRH.

I presume it was an eval that led to the cancellation of disconnection?
Way back when? Anyone know the history of cancelled PLs from evals?

LRH had many other problems taking his attention then and went into hiding.

But from here on, there was a decline. Petra's example showed how
" politics" got in the way of purity of evaluation.

Evals of course can no longer " be reviewed"by the founder. I suspect
only DM is allowed to do evals now.

Just as the SP Doctrine was never "cancelled," neither was Disconnection - in practice.

The fake "cancellation of Disconnection" - in some public statement PR-level display "policy" - was sometimes not understood by some staff, etc. to be only display policy - display-only "cancellation."

An earlier instance of this was the phony "Reform Code" of 1968, that "cancelled" (the name of) "Fair Game," and (the name of) "Security Checking," etc. Some people really thought it "cancelled" Fair Game, Security Checking, etc. This created some minor confusion for a while.

Some didn't understand that there is policy and then there is Policy and then there is POLICY and then there is Command Intention.

Senior policy is usually limited issue "non-remimeo" or confidential.

Scientology, as designed by its founder, is patterned after a covert operation. Come on - wake up and smell the coffee.

Just envisioning the Ideal scene would be the make and break point of the evaluation.

Could LRH ever have been objective enough to say "The policies about staff pay, freeloader debts, etc, need to be revised." ?

I doubt it.

I think it would be hard for anyone and LRH did suffer from some measure of hubris.

First, LRH never 'lost control of the lines' he turned over his hats. That's what one has to do when he's going to move off a point of power. It's in Simon Bolivar, and also in there is that you may have to turn them over to someone who ain't as good. It takes guts to do that. Factually, each of us has part of the hat and that's clearly enunciated in KSW. Terril, it is OUR turn. But you've read the point I made and methinks you are going to do jus' fine. If you aren't already. Love to you, Jim

His policy is not what you are currently seeing on Freeloader debts. Sorry, it's all there but if you don't look, you can't see. LOOK.

Pshaww, Fair Game was cancelled, but how the SP case is handled is how it is handled, and that hasn't changed because if it's done it works and the guy is himself, which isn't a case condition and he isn't an SP anymore. You haven't studied or used this material and have a spectator only experience. You are a mere 'critic' having never written a play. How many people have you run through an engram? How many people have you done an L1C on when their dog died? How many have you helped understand their math courses? What do you know about using this data anyway? Nyah, nyah, nyah, like some sort of GAT drill goes the parrot.

Sorry, that wasn't very social. Geez, where are those circuits. Oh, there they are, 'why what a wonderful piece of investigative journalism you have done and presented us to our shock and surprise, he IS a poo poo head. Why didn't I see it earlier before all this 'time' was wasted.'

Wait a sec, that isn't the right circuit... I'll have to let this one go. I'll be back. Maybe.

OK, I'm back, and sorry about any smart alecy stuff. I sometimes let the Highlander that I am loose and I do apologize. I guess the thing is, I know all these arguments. I've done my homework and there comes a time when you move on. They are resolved. Not that what you are saying isn't valid, that there ARE things that have not been done well. YOU are absolutely right. I am choosing a different route to deal with these irrational issues which you see. I have experienced and seen at my own hands, others experience incredible gain with Scientology. I personally don't give a tat about LRH as a man. He did some outrageous stuff in a packed life. I can't claim I haven't fallen from grace. Nonetheless, Scientology works. That's what is important to me.

Again, sorry if I got steppy on toesy there. Good luck to you all. I'll be around for and field stuff as I find time. My love to each. Jim
