It's rilly nice to get appreciation for old stories.
For every "bad" story that I post, there is a "good" one that goes untold.
L. Ron Hubbard is dead.
Discussion about his 'foibles', the skeletons in his closet, his secret 'doings', serves little purpose other than to discredit a dead man.
I personally think that, despite the revealing stories by Nibs, myself, Veda, and a few others, L.Ron Hubbard deserves some respect for the codifying and publication of some very workable methods for self improvement.
I do not think that it is available in today's world unless one has a tremendous "reach" for it. Too many agendas block the way.
I believe that a person will come to find, or to realize thru whatever means, the level of "enlightenment" that he is capable of having.
I have been told, in very forceful terms, that I can't have it both ways.
I feel some sadness for people who think that Scn, Hubbard, et al has to be only one way. The truth is that there are (at least) two sides to every coin. The coins of Dn/Scn/L ron Hubbard are not exceptions.
Yeah. I 'have' it both ways.
Your mileage may vary.
