. . . I get in comm with them and I am astounded at the number of Dianetic Clears that are stalled and off of the bridge and unable to move in any direction. Some of these people are in trouble and some are in real big trouble. Some don’t even realize what a mess they are in. But ALL of them need help . . . Make no mistake, if you are a Dianetic Clear and have been for years, you are in trouble - and you know it . . .
EVALUATION, 1. telling the pc what to think about his case. (HCOB 4 Aug 60)
When I first got involved (1986), I only read dianetics and wanted to go "clear". And then I was introduced to the Bridge to Total Freedom, by the org I was getting dianetic auditing. And I resisted at first, but then was sold some scientology books and I read them, they were POW & New Slant on Life. In reading those books, why I was convinced (sold on the idea's), I became a scientologist you might say. And I now wanted to do the steps in the "Bridge to total Freedom.
In reading that Bridge to Total Freedom (all the EP's on each Grade level), and coupled with the idea that engrams are the source of my problems,
why I actually reduced my abilities in life you might say, now that I now look back and recall.
why, because I wasn't a ARC SW release, why I knew then I might get worse, so I had to get that auditing. And so up the bridge, Grade 0, not being a Grade 0 auditing realease, why I figured I couldn't communicate to anybody about anything, thus I felt at the time, as was not able in that department.
And so on in reading the levels and grades of the bridge, problems, fixed conditions, clear, OT.
I thought because I had not done these levels, I did not have those abilities,
and I thought because others had done those levels and auditing rundowns, they were more able than me.
So, when I look back, the Bridge to Total freedom actually evaluated for me and made me less able
because I hadn't done those levels or auditing actions.
