I can't believe what I'm reading here. Study tech isn't the problem. The problem is the people "applying" it.
Granted, a $cientology "trained" person, is probably about the last person you would want instructions from, as far as how to learn a subject.
I mean, during word clearing I would be asked what does this or that word mean, and give an answer. Which I would "flunk", simply because I did not give the definition of the context used in whatever text.
Well, I naturally complained that I simply did not recall the word being used at all in the text and, however upon being reminded, understood from context alone, etc..
Now, with some word clearers, this was perfectly ok. With others, it was not. And then again, it had to do with the star ratedness of the material.
I also hated the idea I had to know each definition of the word "the", "and", and such.
I mean, I was 19 years old, and as far as I was concerned, as long as I had a general idea of things, that was sufficient.
Yeah, I wanted to be audited and learn how to audit.
But, these idiots were trying to make me some kind of super expert, in one session or something.
I realized in the end, they were in actual fact, 1.1 on the tone scale!
1.1s,FORCE REALITY!
Why? Well, their reality is all they know and it had better be right, or they're dead. They have nowhere else to go.
Thus, they tell you they are trying to free you and improve you, when the truth is all they want is validation.............LOL.
But, even at 19, I eventually came to see this.
But, it WAS because of the tech, I was able to do this.
Now, I know there are going to be some who say "No, it was in spite of the tech, etc..".
I would say, no. I learned a great deal from the tech. Things I would probably never have learned elsewhere.
The difference is, I did not allow reality to be forced upon me and certainly did not accept things which were not real, or possible.
In other words, I took the idea that "You are responsible for your own condition", very seriously.
LOL
