I'd go more for the penchant for comedy and showmanship. And he picked the one night he'd get it wrong?
No one told him he got it wrong? Not saying I would have had the balls to do so.
Its an interesting illustration of his personal charisma etc.
And maybe our collective failure.

I doubt if anyone can really grasp how utterly dangerous and psychotic the environment was during the 1968-69 period........the Original Class VIII course was right smack in the middle of that time.
I lived in London during the "blitz" - it was no where near as dangerous as those times......the force, charge, betrayal and psychic violence was horrendous.
LRH was screaming at people day in day out, your friends were betraying you, people you trusted became your enemy. People were being thrown overboard for the slightest infraction.
It was a brutal course delivered in the mood level of fury.....it set the standard for today.
That course broke so many, many people.
It violated ALL Codes.
It set Domination and Subjugation in place.
It made the darkside right.
It empowered the darkside.
Now that was some great PT force, charge and mass to confront!!!![]()
Great 3rd dynamic bull-baiting.![]()
Also a great course on how to survive with thousands of wrong items and wrong answers.![]()

Through it all -the motto was: "Thou shalt not be a victim!"

You'll never be able to sort out the "good stuff" from the "trap," because you are like children.
And if you weren't doing harm to good people with your bad advice and toxic silliness, I wouldn't even mention it.
You, and the other L. Ron-worshipping Freezoners, are not taking the subject forward, you are standing still in a puddle of Hubbard's drool, watching the needle float on your e-meters, and going "Wheee."
Thank goodness, not everyone who wishes to salvage the good bits and pieces of the subject is on the "short bus" to "total Wheedom."
You gotta love the internet in this 1st century. The Bloopers don't lie!LRH does not turn his head but stares straight us and proceeds to give us how he is exterior with full perceptics - and describes the ferry, etc. He was really puffed up with his ability to demonstrate his exterior with full perceptics.
The only problem was that night a tug boat towing a garbage scow was went past the windows.
We all witnessed it - the emperor was naked!!!
You need to run out being the effect of charisma!No one told him he got it wrong? Not saying I would have had the balls to do so.

To help you out with this, first answer the following question before you attempt to run the process;You need to run out being the effect of charisma!![]()
Where does this "charisma" manifest on your hubbo tone scale?![]()
It doesn't. I remember reading something by the man saying charisma was simply the rare quality of having all your attention right there in present time.
Hubbard was famous for it, with people who met him saying he made them feel like they were the only person in the whole world, giving them his undivided attention, etc.

Alan, This is publicly asked so it can be of historical value. You were there, and I have seen that you tell accounts accurately. A source told me some events relayed to her by Peaches Arave, later Pook, Ron Pook, Allen Kapuler, and Virginia Kapuler(former Virginia Arave), Rex Arave, their daughter Deanna Arave. They were all on the Apollo during the original Class VIII course period, all in the SO.
Can you detail what was the scene with overboarding, the chain locker, and was there in fact any keel hauling?
I'd like to clear up the keelhauling bit, as it was raised on XSO and is now up to the survivors to straighten out.
Yes.Allen Kapuler was in the SO a short time and then back to Missions. Did you know he and Virginia well?

There was deathly silence in the room - the room went very solid. No one looked at another.

I have never seen this portrayed as such a desparate time before. Don't think I've heard an eyewitness account in fact. Of course I heard of the overboardings.
It comes across as a sort of very tough boot camp.
You have posted years ago elsewhere that a high proportion of class VIIIs
came through your missions, and with what seemed well deserved pride.
True - but much evolution has occured since then.As far as I know, and correct me if I'm wrong, the great missions were built up largely by the people on this course. You yourself were instrumental in
that great movement, until the time of the takeover around 14 years after this course.
Not really, I would not have missed it - it triggered so much to confront - so much case - so much charge, force and mass - I had to find the correct answers and items to.If you could do it all over again would you miss this out?
No, most were broken and went into hiding.Were the people who were broken fixed up?
