Shooting Stars

[CarmeloOrchards]

Hmmm, NOW I understand WTF went down and why in '82-'83.

Thanks, Face.

I honestly thought it was a few idiot nut-jobs who should never have been given any positions of power. But now we see it was Hisself and his scheming all along!

The greatest prose I have ever read has always tended to leave me speechless.

Yours does that.

Thank you sir.

Always appreciate so much your most kind and thoughtful words about my little missives.

I proof read my posts 5 or 6 times and I still find left out words, typos and clumsy errors after I post them. It is with some embarrassment that you often read them before I have detected and fixed all the inadvertant goofs I am so prone to continuously make.

What I am writing is what makes “sense” out all this to me. That it makes sense to others, like you, is what keeps me going forward to tell all about how I see “It” and “IT”.

Thanks a bunch, mm&I.

Face, what you put into words adds such a clarity to that time period and what was happening.

So many, like I, had feet on the ground and maybe a little skin in the game and were getting slammed this way and that knowing more was afoot than we knew. And it was.

At least now I know why those parts and pieces - if not chunks - got torn out of my ass and for what... and now for who.

Thanks man.

Thanks Toady...that means a lot to me.

I saw a whole bunch of good folks get their asses torn up and, from my perspective, I knew the real reason why...I saw "IT" and "ITS' mini its" coming.

Feels real good to "lay down my burden" after all these years.

Early days, but perhaps these posts will one day have the title:-

" The scriptures as revealed by " Face".

Cheers to you, Terril.

This wonderful series by Face continues to be a revelation and incredibly fun to read!

Wait, I just received a Telegram that was addressed to Face...

Thanks HH.

And thanks for the Telex from El Ron El Rey.

I recently received Tepaphone comm that the Admiral is so pleased with the progress at Target 2 that Hisself has fired Capt. Bill...er, I mean Astar...on an Obs Mission to Target 3.

You have that straight and true.

Thank you, my friend.

I lived this story but folks like you...and all Y'all...are the story.

As usual, Face, you've outdone yourself!
I do hope the cumulative posts are being compiled into an ebook.

Thanks a bunch, Cakemaker.

Paul's gonna do a PDF ebook of some sort when I'm done "venting my spleen".

Face: With the reading of each portion of you "laying down" your burden, I too find a greater freedom from the maze of beguilement which was used to usurp and feed on the good will of so many of us.

Thank you from deep within my heart.

One thing EL Ron feared is that there would be those who saw through his deception of playing invisible dictator, and breaking the hypnotic strangle hold .

You have done it Face ,illustrated beautifully.

I love the caveats.

& The Terms, Jackals and COCs.

Belicimo

Smart cowboy eh , now thats a compliment!!

Perfect, Jachss, absolutely Perfect!

Thank you.

I fooled around with the idea of calling the COC's "Korny Kids" but decided to stick with being satirical as opposed to sarcastic.

I know that some folks might take me to task—and I don’t begrudge them for it—but, I'll forever have a soft spot in my Heart for Mary Sue…she "stood by her man” and the father of her children, come what may.

Once again - thanks, Face.

Awaiting the next installment.

Thanks Scoots.

Always read your "stuff". Love to hoist with you a BV or XXXX or whatever it is y'all drink in your part of Oz.

Hoping for a shortening of time with next installment

Ya, me too...I'm just so f'n slow these days.

 

[me myself & i]

Face, just wondering, did you know David Mayo, or know 'of' David back in the days?

If this isn't the right place/thread or time for that question, please disregard it.

I can't help but feel the two of you are kindred spirits in some (profoundly good) way.

Thanks my friend.

Like I said awhile back, the SO was/is a “Confederacy of Zealots and Dunces”, i.e. “idiot nut-jobs who should never have been given any positions of power.” But, they operated and are operating on, with and through the “Power of Source”.

Cheers to you, Terril.

And damn the torpedos and the typos.

I'm not Face but I'm inclined to the view that many, if not all, of us are to some degree 'kindred spirits'. For some it is what initially drew them to the hope of what scientology could offer. For many it is why they chose then (& perhaps continue to choose now although through disparate means) to promote what they see as the potential for spiritual betterment.

But I take your point with regard to similarities between Face & David.

I am speechless too, Face.
Outstanding - but you always leave us hanging and drooling for MOAR





Ya had me at 'hello' . . .

I luvs youse tooz, L5.

My whole life has been, and continues as, a "to be continued" cliffhanger. I do so wish that I could "lay it all down" in a few days but I just can't churn out words I don't believe like El Ron could.

Yes!!

You'll never know just how much I appreciate your words...'cause I'll never find the words to say it properly.

Thank you.

Peace.

Yes, I knew David back in the days. We were Apollo Crew together and afterwards and, along the way, I had a few "face to Face" chats with David in the "Ivory Tower".

I've made a number of posts on ESMB re: David over the last year. It's so good to know that he is here with all of Us now and that Y'all can get to know the "real" David. David is one of the most remarkably thoughtful, kind and decent human beings I have ever been around, irregardless his past “status” and “position” in Scn.

Here's few of my posts that, IMO, are indicative of David Mayo:

All of Us here are kindred spirits!
