I don't believe homeless people are any kind of "terror". I apologize for not putting "terror" in quotes or something.
I was always vaguely aware of the Scientology motto of making the able more able, but never really thought all that much about it. In the books, generally, there is no restriction against "heroic" auditing of the generally down and out, but quite a bit of talk about being able to empty the psychiatric wards and hospitals and rid the streets of crime with Dianetics and Scientology technology.
I related earlier my own experience with auditing a homeless woman with what seemed to me to be remarkable results.
I had thought that Scientology opening an "Ideal Org" in the inner city slum (Harlem) was a sign that Scientology was finally putting its money where its mouth was as far as being able to transform or improve social conditions and solve social problems and tackle the really difficult challenges and "get its fingers dirty" by showing what Scientology tech could actually do if applied in that kind of environment.
I ended up disillusioned.
Instead of doing anything to help the local population, a large percentage of which are homeless, living on the streets, whenever I attempted to help any of these people or dared even bring them into the Church, I was met with resistance.
Finally, I was shown a reference, as ITYIWT pointed out, about "degraded beings".
I wondered how anyone could automatically judge anyone who happened to be homeless at any one point in their life as being a "degraded being". ANYONE, any one of us, I dare say, any Scientologist could become temporarily homeless for one reason or another.
I also pointed out the the reference I was shown said to use very gentle low level processing on such "degraded beings" not to reject them. As if a "homeless" is automatically "degraded" which I certainly could not agree with.
It was finally explained to me how homeless people were picked up by the "psyches" and god only knows what done to them, but my distinct impression was that not only were the homeless in general discriminated against but that at least some of my fellow staffers (Some Sea Org missioners in particular) were actually
afraid of the homeless. They seemed to express a kind of deep seated terror, a real fear of homeless people, the general idea being that they had all been picked up by the "Psyches" at one time or another, drugged, brainwashed, implanted or whatever and released back out on to the streets as agents of the "Psyches" who's sole purpose in life was now to infiltrate and bring down Scientology. They could therefore not be allowed into the Church under any circumstances.
Sitting and listening to all this I was just plain flabbergasted and came to the realization that the Church's neglect of the local homeless population was not just a problem of the local ED having a bad attitude but that it went much much deeper.
Anyway, I apologize for the title. I thought it would be obvious that
I do not personally view any homeless person as a "terror". I've been effectively homeless myself from time to time. I have many homeless friends who drop by every so often and have lived here on my land for weeks or months before moving on.
Here is a video of a very talented "homeless" artist/musician/songwriter. The video was made in the back of my old Dead Head converted SchoolBus / Camper here on the land where I'm back living now:
