That's because I don't say it's an Scn belief. All I say is, "This may—or may not—help you." And again, it's not like I'm heavy on it, I just give a mild tap in the right direction to my friends and colleagues, that's all.
http://www.upguitarhill.com/helpme/hp/hp.htm summarises my beliefs quite nicely, especially this: "Note also that I draw some of the information below, from a Philosophy called Scientology. This does not mean that I am a Scientologist which I am not. All that it means is that I have an enquiring mind and as such I am interested in different ideas i.e. from psychology, philosophy, literature, science, religion and etc., especially if these ideas contain value and can get limp sails fluttering again! I have found some neat solutions within the Scientology body of knowledge and as such give it credence simply for this."
The site has somewhat heavier beliefs than I do (such as the Reactive Mind, hearing about which didn't help me in the slightest, and the bunk about the Thetan Game)...and it draws from systems of belief other than Scn as well. I say I'm a bit of a FZer just because it's more convenient to say that than "Oh, I draw on every philosophy that's been invented, and even a few that haven't been invented yet."
I am not a shill, and I am not an addict. Least of all to amphetamine. I was responding to a JOKE posting, with... guess what... a JOKE.
I assumed this was a forum for philosophical discussion, with the only real "philosophy" espoused being "live and let die". Now I see that the only thing I'm liable to get out of it is ridicule and ad-homs.
I'm a Blanchardist as well (Ken Blanchard's One Minute Manager), a Christian (obvious, but see list of EIGHT—not 7—deadly sins), and a Johnsonist (Spencer Johnson's Who Moved My Cheese) if you wish to mock me in those areas too. I find philosophy helps me with my life. It doesn't have to help you with yours, but if you're a hard science freak and don't believe in philosophy, don't kill the moment for others, like me, that happen to enjoy eclectic ideas.
I'm a junkie for change, but there are others who are not, and it is a character flaw of mine that I tend to get impatient with those who are slow to change. And, unfortunately, I have a problem thinking on Universe (6th Dynamic) terms, especially the more "oogie-boogie"/metaphysical stuff (parallel universes and such), because honestly I think there's some stuff that's a little TOO advanced. Oh, yeah, and I'm bubbly as hell; I prefer to not think of myself as naive, because I know life is nothing but dog turd, but I say is it better to allow yourself to grow cynical, or is it better to let the shit bounce off you?
So there's my feelings about the matter.
