References have been made to David Mayo, citing statements by him from 1978, and from the early 1980s. In fairness to Mayo, and for the sake of accuracy, it should be noted that Mayo's views changed, as the Scientology programming/Hubbardian "spell" wore off.
I am well aware of this too. Just tonight I was on a site
http://wiseoldgoat.com/papers-scientology/popup-windows/scn_source30_mayo_solo-nots.html and I saw all the promo with David Mayo praising Ron's new discoveries in Advance magazine and at Flag. Later I saw he went the other way. Extremely. He told us the new OT VIII was nothing fully researched. That we did not need Ls. That there were actually no OTs who could walk through walls. He began instructing on how to not
need a meter and to drill active listening with ARC... twinning with another.
In David's earlier enthrall with the great new solutions one found on NED for OTs
up the line, he was using teasers unabashedly to promote Ron's genius. We'd have to
wait to find out ....and ....what the big mistake a thetan can make is....and what our factor of responsibility is. What the stuff of the living lightning of life was....(big smile) Tease, tease, tease.
BIG turnaround later! This is a fantastic link by the way. I spent a couple hours on the site.
From David Mayo's Talk on Solo Nots: Delivered at Flag Oct 11, 1980
You may have seen HCOB 30 July 80, by Ron, called the “Nature of a Being”. In this bulletin he points out that man is a very complex composite of factors along the lines of various identities or valences* (*Valence: a valence is a false or true identity. The preclear has his own valence. Then there are available to him the valences of all persons who appear in his engrams.) which have been built up; and which have existed for a very long time. Also that one has to be able to take responsibility for and become cause over and handle these factors.
I could let you in on a little secret here. It's because of that, that the End Phenomena of NOTs is described in Ron's Journal in 1978 as the very “living lightning of life itself”. It is stuff to do with Theta, life units and so on. It's the thing which determines the state or condition of any being or entity. On Solo NOTs, one is dealing with some pretty high powered stuff. He is taking responsibility not only for his own condition and his own state of being, but also that of others, both now and long ago.
Another great
link here at Christmas. David addresses Flag and its FCCIs
with Love from RON and tells of the
breakthrough. Of course while I was at the AAC I knew he was over all the hype. During his fantastic talk on disillusionment I knew it was his own understanding of this subject that made him the perfect person to discuss it.
