So . . . . .

Now the secret is out!

Blue Spirit . . . . now I know why you reacted as you did when I mentioned the name of John Rafanello . . . .

For the rest of you, Blue was kind enough to pick me up at LAX on my arrival to do my presentation at the FZ Conference in Pasadena. And, obviously, we had lots of time to chat en route and at our dinner together that evening.

In the context of who might be attending the conference and who I might know from the LA area, the most prominent in my mind and the one's I most admired were Raffo and Ellen Jones.

At the mention of Raffo's name Blue sort of froze :D

I didn't press the point, and Blue sort of bounced a little and moved on to other topics:eyeroll:

OK, the secret is out . . . . Blue's ethics went in :happydance:

He owed Raffo a few bucks:p

He got in touch with Raffo . . . and Raffo being the all-forgiving Saint he is . . . well what can I say?

The rest as they say is history.

Blue and Raffo have co-empowered each other as good spirits do . . .

And now what do we have? :D

Much Magic, true magic, is occurring:D

Okay...I'm gonna take the bait

Here is a post I made on Lakey's LRH Thumbnail thread in response to Fisherman's very fine post #62 on that thread. I am posting it here as much of the text is part of where I was heading with my "Readers Digest" treatment. I'm posting it here for those that have an interest. Fisherman is not an ex, however I find his posts to be very quite stimulating and erudite (and a f'n good stuff, too:D) and his contributions to the collective body of work re: El Ron and Scn to be valuable and of note to anyone "working through it".

Face:)

Fisherman,

I think I’m gonna have to work through responding to your post in several installments…there are so many excellent and well stated questions in your post and, due to circumstances beyond my control, I will not be able to spend the time over the next few days.

I think part of your accurately stated paradoxes stem from—perhaps—that you have not studied and “experienced” the subject of Scn to the extent that Lakey and so many others here on this board have. Needless to say, there is a wide variance of opinion amongst all here. That’s partly probably because Scn is, in my view, in actuality not a philosophy at all.

Istitutional Scientology is an ad hoc, helter skelter, well organized chaos, of which the books are just the tip of the iceberg and, surprisingly, not as “slick” as much of the rest of the materials. It’s like a large raggedy net of ideas, concepts and “one-liners” that seeks to somewhere within the mesh have something for everyone. There is probably not a person alive that wouldn’t find a few things in all of El Ron’s materials that they would agree with or hold to be true from their own perspective, and I find that as most remarkable. Once in the net, all points ”filter and flow” towards the center or core concept—Operating Thetan.

The fabric of the net is, in part, intertwined principles of rudimentary and pop psychology, stage hypnosis, philosophy, Spiritualism, Occultism, Eastern Religions, Sci Fi and anything else that has capability to grab, hold or fix the interest and attention of some folks’ mind and spread a patina of credibility.

Majik, I think, was probably the most important fabric of the net for El Ron. However, from my perspective, there is more—and possibly the most— important fabric…metaphysics.

Over a 20 year period, starting in the mid ‘60’s or so, to varying degrees I had the distinct pleasure of getting to personally know and interact with many of the “old timers”; the big names to the small names; the “Tech” Guru’s to the working-class “Techy’s” to the weird wannabees; the Admin Stars that actually new what they were doing to the cotton pickin’ crazies that El Ron was continually posting in high positions of power and letting them run amok, as long as “the stats were up”. Being on Cl IV org staff during the very important “boom” years of the latter ‘60’s and then, in the SO— wherein I was privy to a plethora of information, reports and data that few So and Scns had access to—along with all the chats and experiences I had with Scns of every stripe and color from around the world lead me to realize in the mid-’70’s that there were two distinctly different Scientologies…and the they were in opposition to each other and were being held together by force, deception and greed.

You see, Scientology is also “a state of mind” and “indulgence in illusions and paranormal sensations”, fostered by one mans prodigious gift to entertain and mesmerize. The many contributors and unwitting collaborators were folks born with what some may term as different or having a “loose screw” but what I—being one of them—would term, as Carlos Casteneda said so poetically, "A Separate Reality’.

These are the folks that made Scn in the early days, and what made it tick while El Ron was alive, and what still makes it tick, albeit sickly, today is not the subject itself so much as the nature of the majority of people that were involved during the various eras, especially the first 30 years.

What is this separate reality?

I honestly don’t know precisely, but I can tell you about what it is for me, and I am confident that some of my words below will “resonate” far better descriptions from many of the folks on this board.

Who am I? I know that there are parts of me that aren’t, in essence “me”. Sometimes I know more of “me” than at other times. When I’m more “me”, it “feels” better, natural… things make more sense…however, it’s transient, random. How can I be more “me” stably, confidently, permanently.

What am I? I sense, feel, experience…I know…that my essence is more than that of mere flesh and bone. I transiently feel bound by some mysterious force, by ropes or chains that chafe and frustrate me. I know I am perceive and am capable of so much more but I just can’t “figure “It” out. I sense, feel, experience…I know…that there is so much more to all of “This”. Somewhere there must be answers…the answer…I want to, I need to, I must, find that “somewhere”. What do I do to find the answers? What are the right questions to ask?

When did “It” all begin? When did all “This” start? When did I begin to be me? When did I start? Is there and end? If there is an end, when will that be? When will I know the answers? Will I ever know the answers?

Where am I? Where is “This”? Where is “It”? Where did I come from? Where am I going? How do I know where to go? How will I know when I get there? Will I know when I get there? Where is “This” going? Where is “It” going? Where do I start? Have a already started and just don’t realize it and, if so,

Why don’t I realize it? Why am I? Why am I here? Why is “This” here? Why is “It” the way it is? Why do I have these questions? Why can’t I find the answers? Why can’t I “see” “It”…Why can’t others “see” ”It”? Why do I “see” and “feel” what I “see” and “Feel”? Why am I different? Why? Why? Why???

In all five of the “W” questions above you can also supplant “I” with ‘We”.

Many of these folks—including Ole Face here—had had “experiences, perceptions, feelings, whatever, that were out of the “ordinary” before ever contacting Scn. In ‘50’s, ‘60’s and ‘70’s—especially the ‘50’s to mid ‘60’s—they had in effect, few “places to go”. There was no internet, there was no “Information Age”, there was no “Star Wars generation”, “Harry Potter generation. Following on the heels of a global war marked by the most graven savagery, the world was day-in, day-out on the brink of nuclear holocaust.

Scn became a “Community” for these folks, these “back yard", "shade tree", amateur and very bright born meta physicists. Within that community, “Neighborhoods” were established and they had folks that they could interact with, “cross pollinate”, commune and have fellowship with and were no longer isolated and alone. They went from being “outsiders” to “insiders”. Out of these Neighborhoods and Community came White Scientology. It was loose, open and relatively free. However, during this same era, El Ron was conjuring and concocting, unchecked, knitting together the fabric of Black Scientology.

I never…and I doubt most of these folks ever…bought into El Ron The Galactic Guru; El Ron The Genius of All Geniuses; El Ron The Never Wrong.

So, what did I buy into and why?:confused2:

You’re quite the angler, Fisherman. I was gonna conclude my Readers Digest” treatment on the Apollo ’73 thread with why I got “in” and why I went to Flag to work with El Ron but, alas, your lure is too enticing and I’m gonna snap it up. Set your drag and harness ‘cause I’m gonna “run with it.”:coolwink:

I’ll break surface in a few days.:yes:

Answering Rog's questions

This I address to TMT . . .

A lot of folks on ESMB have only second-hand information as to who was on post where doing what . . . for example, our info is that only SO members could be Class XII Auditors, etc.

OT-VIII was not released till rather later than, after, it appears you were declared.

Thus there appears to be incongruity. And the naysayers attempt to use this to discredit you.

Can you fill us in on the where/when of these events.

I know DartSmohen states here that he saw the OT8 materials on the Scotsman/Apollo. When/where did you have access to them?

:happydance: 31 July 2010 in response to Roger’s “Aboard the Apollo” Pose Number - 4180

I wrote a really neat reply and I lost it. It either didn't get submitted, or I lost where it is. So here goes again.

:happydance: In 1967 while on the Briefing course in England, I wrote Ron telling him of my car shrinking and car teleporting experiences. As a result of that, he asked me to test some OT processes, and periodically he would send me in to an org to trouble shoot some mess. I promised him that I would not reveal that these directions came from him.

:omg: Periodically as the years went on, I was either called in by org officials to "Clean up a Mess' or Ron asked me to clean up something especially when there was a danger of legal actions against the Church by some disgruntled PC.

:eyeroll: I always came in as a field auditor, a Class-VI, VII or VIII, whatever I official was. Ron made me promise that I would not reveal to anyone that I was testing OT processes for him, and that he had asked me to go in to help with one situation or another. He felt that if people knew that I was working at his request, it would create a mess, and I agreed with him.

:coolwink: My posting on ESMB was and is the first time that I have ever said anything to anyone about this personal relationship with Ron. Because of varies things that have happened just recently, I felt it was now time, and now OK with Ron, for me to tell the whole story. Given the reaction of some people to my first post, I am not entirely sur if this was a good decision, but I have done it, and I will need to deal with what ever happens.

:unsure: I was never really on post at any org. I did supervise the Solo and Briefing course for a time at the American Saint Hill organization, but I refused to join staff, and a refused to join the Sea Org. My intellect could not even begin to wrap it’s wits around the idea of a billion year contact, and I have never wanted to commit myself to any organization, although I have always been willing to help when I can.

:coolwink: As time when on, Ron gave me the honorary title of Class-XII Qual Corrections Auditor, because he wanted me to clear up some Class-XII auditing messes, which I successfully did. I guess I still have some ego left to

:thumbsup: I would write my own CS, which was, “Fly a Rud and handle”, which I did. Then I would write up a session report that would be acceptable to org people. In many cases it was a total lie, for what I really did to clean up the mess would have been completely unacceptable to tech people. I would have been considered to be a complete squirrel. What I did in my estimation was totally standard tech by the Class-VIII definition of standard. “A definite level and degree of quality that is proper and adequate for a specific purpose,” What I did adequately cleaned up the mess, but I would have been declared and Out-Tech SP if I told the truth to org personnel.

:melodramatic: After I finished my work, I was again relegated to be one of those “Un-dedicated, difficult to control, irresponsible” field auditors, who was useful at times. Due to that, and my refusal to join staff and the Sea Org, many org people would continue their attacks of me, until they needed me again.

:yes: I did several versions of OT-VIII on myself and others, under Ron’s personal tutelage. A number of these were done after I was declared to be an SP.

:angry: Ron also pulled a number of sneaky tricks on me, all of which I will delineate in detail as my Chronicles get written and submitted. At times, I felt he completely betrayed me, and he was, at times, the biggest son-of-a-bitch I have ever encountered. However, at times, he was also one of the most wonderful beings I have ever encountered. This dichotomy has often spun me around spiritually, mentally and physically.

Hopefully this cleans up the apparent discrepancies.

:) I most appreciate your help, and the help of others, for it enables me to got back and see where my writings are inconsistent. I am basically a lazy person who does not like to do all the re-writing work I often need to do. For most of my life I have subscribed to Mark Twain’s philosophy on exercise, “Whenever I think of exercising, I lay down until the thought goes away”

:p Also for ME, time has been an awareness of things that happen, not a linear stream plotted against an arbitrary time and calendar system, so any help you can give me to align things us so that they harmonize with our “normal” way of plotting time, would be most appreciated,

:coolwink: I was once giving some org board tech to a CEO of a major corporation, and I was in really good form. The data, and the answer to his many questions were flowing out of me like a machine gun. Then at one point, he cocked his head and curiously looked at me with a, “How an this young kid know all this stuff” attitude. At the point the asked, “How old are you?”

Well the question stopped me cold. All of my brilliance disappeared, for I couldn’t remember how old I was, and it took a while for me to figure it out.

He must of thought I was kidding, but I was not. That kind of time means nothings to me, so your assistance in making sure I keep things straight from the viewpoint of other will be a great service.

I love you Rog, I always have and I always will.

PS: Do your know that “Ability Consultants” was the name of my company way back in the seventies?

Don't let it worry you too much, TMT. It's an "eclectic" crowd and there are some regular members of the board who, were you to post that you had oatmeal for breakfast, would spend the next three days berating you as an sp for not having had wheaties. :eyeroll:

I think many of us on this thread have done that exact set of actions. Back at ASHO, in Los Gatos, in Palo Alto, and other places, where mafia people were audited, not everything got written down.

John,

Got your reply on the "incongruity." It should settle the wonderings that might have occurred based on these missing bits and pieces from your first post.

The response to your first post on this and other threads reminded me of an important piece of tech written by Alan that I will post here now.

It speaks for itself, though I must say, in the inimitable Alan Walter way :D Be prepared for some complex sentences :p

But it does speak elegantly to the issue of the two broad responses we see on ESMB to posts and in particular to posts conveying "certain" ideas.

This taken from Alan's Kn website.

Good Processes versus Evil Processes
ALL BEINGS are SUPER BEINGS all the time. It is just that some Beings concentrate on positive empowerment and mastery of self and the positive empowerment and mastery for others to play huge winning constructive games; and some Beings concentrate on the negative and the use of their deterrent powers to restrain themselves and the use of deterrent powers to restrain others in order to play small, losing, destructive games.

The Beings that concentrate on positive empowerment and mastery of self and the positive empowerment and mastery for others to play huge winning, constructive games, are directing their attention, power, force and action to enhance their and other's goodness from now into the future.

One of the basic laws of ethical behavior is that one's goals, visions, plans and actions result in doing the greatest good for the greatest number. When a Being is involved with doing the greatest good for self and others, the Being likes self and others.

A good technology enhances the now and future goodness of, and aligns, the Being's goals, visions, plans, actions, products and outcomes. outcomes to doing the greatest good for self and others throughout the events of life.

A good technology never loses the focus of enhancing the now and futures of its clients.

EVIL
The Beings who concentrate on the negative and the use of their deterrent powers to restrain themselves and the use of deterrent powers to restrain others in order to play small, losing, destructive games, are focused on preventing past bad, wrong, painful, destructive or evil things or events from re-occurring.

Definition:
EVIL: adjective, Pronunciation: 'E-vel, British often & US also 'E-vil
[Middle English, from Old English yfel; akin to Old High German ubil evil]
Date: before 12th century
1a. morally reprehensible, sinful, wicked; b. arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct; 2a. archaic, inferior; b. causing discomfort or repulsion, offensive; c. disagreeable; 3a. causing harm, pernicious; b. marked by misfortune, unlucky

Concentrating on others' wrongness, badness and evil is in itself a form of domination and subjugation of others, for it is an attempt to exert superiority of self over others. It is also a way to make less of or nothing of and thus subjugate others.

In the Spiritual realm of a Being, Domination and Subjugation are the ultimate evil acts.

The concentrating on others' wrongness, badness and evil enables a practitioner to perform domination and subjugation of his or her clients. It further pushes the client out of present time and sticks him or her into the past, which in turn weakens the client's ability to hold a position and resist domination, subjugation and other determined control.

The prime location that a Being can be a Super Being is right here right now. -- Even though a Super Being's here and now extends well into the future and past.

It takes an equal amount of power, strength, intelligence, cleverness, skill and ability to restrain self as it does to empower self, or to create a degrading disguise or an enhancing disguise.

In order to restrain and deter the powers of self, and still be a small, inconsequential, insignificant player in a small, inconsequential, insignificant game, the Being must choose destructive, mediocre, small, inconsequential, insignificant games. The Being must also choose destructive, mediocre, small, inconsequential, insignificant people who have the same restraints and handicaps and who are applying these restraints and handicaps using an equal amount of restraints to deter power, to deter strength, to deter intelligence, to deter cleverness, to deter skill, to deter ability.

This deterrent power is used to create the upsets and problems that result from the inhibiting of the Being's power and effectiveness to create mutually agreed-upon conditions of no knowledge, no presence, no responsibility, no intention, no visions, no control, no space, no time, no money, no energy, no interest.

That they are knowingly or unknowingly using these deterrents of their powers to hold themselves in a small, inconsequential, insignificant place to keep themselves impoverished, illiterate, ineffective, unable, unsuccessful, unhappy and in chronic low mood levels in order to maintain the constant justifications and excuses for being weak and powerless.

The above paragraphs bring to view the incredible error of today's technology and the incredible major errors ALL practitioners are making with human potential processes and training.
________________________________________

Major Errors!
A major error of many of today's technologies and a major error most practitioners have made and are making with human potential processes and training are:

The Technology is being applied backwards!

Processing is being applied from the incorrect direction!

Practitioners are being trained wrongly!

Case Advisors are advising wrongly!

The statements:

"The prime location that a Being can be a Super Being, and that is right here right now. Even though a Super Being's here and now extends well into the future and past", are a vital piece of technology.

Almost ALL processes have been designed to handle the NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF A CASE.

Almost ALL training procedures have been designed to handle the NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF A CASE.

Almost ALL Case Advices have been directed to handle the NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF A CASE.

These actions EMPOWERS NEGATIVITY and makes the case BIGGER THAN THE BEING!

Going earlier and choosing only selected pieces of case, i.e. Upsets, Problems, Harmful Acts, Incidents, etc., without returning to the WHOLENESS OF THE PRESENT TIME THREE DIMENSIONAL HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGERY AND WITHOUT INSPECTING THE FUTURE CONSEQUENCES OF THE WHOLENESS OF THE THREE DIMENSIONAL HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGERY DRIVES THE BEING OUT OF PRESENT TIME, CUTTING THE BEING'S REACH INTO THE FUTURE and TRAPS THEM IN THE PAST!

This action alone causes the PRESENT TIME and the FUTURE to become more charged, more resistive, more painful than the PAST. It does this by failing to get the Being to inspect and maintain the INTEGRITY and HONOR of their PRESENT TIME THREE DIMENSIONAL HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGERY and the EFFECTS and CONSEQUENCES the THREE DIMENSIONAL HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGERY will have on their PRESENT TIME and FUTURE LINES and TERMINALS.

The SET UP/UPSET research has uncovered an incredible amount of hidden case booby-traps and unhandled vital areas and subjects.

By NOT FOCUSING on the MAINTAINING of the INTEGRITY and HONOR of the PRESENT TIME and the FUTURE THREE DIMENSIONAL HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGERY of the CLIENT, THE PRACTITIONER IS VIOLATING THE INTEGRITY and HONOR of the SESSION, THE INTEGRITY and HONOR of the CLIENT, THE INTEGRITY and HONOR of the PRACTITIONER and THE INTEGRITY and HONOR of the TECHNOLOGY.
________________________________________

THE USE OF "EARLIER SIMILAR" CREATES A BOOBY-TRAP

How many times has a client entered a session with this type of problem?

Practitioner: "How are you doing?"

Client: "OK, but I have this problem. I need $150,000 to expand my business and handle my immediate debts."

Practitioner: "Thank you!"

Practitioner: "Is there an earlier similar problem?"

Client: "Well yes, when I wanted to go to college, I need several thousand dollars.

Practitioner: "Thank you!"

Practitioner: "Is there an earlier similar problem?"

Client: "Er, yes I needed $1,200 to buy a car."

Practitioner: "Thank you!"

Practitioner: "Is there an earlier similar problem?"

Client: "Mmm, yes, I needed 10 cents to buy an ice cream so I stole it from my mothers purse. God! I felt guilty about that!"

Practitioner: "Thank you!"

Practitioner: "Your needle is floating."

What the hell happened to helping the client handle getting the $150,000 to expand his business?
The existing problem was ignored. The client was pushed into the past.

How could it have been handled?

The practitioner now uses a creative process and says: "How could you handle needing to get $150,000?"

Client: "I could rob a bank."

Client: "I could sell some shares."

Client: (Suddenly brightening up.) "Hell, all I've got to do is concentrate on selling my main products and I will earn that in two months."

Dial wide floating needle and floating Resistance Value.

This result will set the client free of the practitioner. The client will be beyond the practitioner's control. This is not bad if the practitioner doesn't have a scarcity of clients.
________________________________________
The problem with ignoring present time and the future in processing is that present time and the future will become unconfrontable. There will be so much pain, charge and force between the Being, present time and the future, the Being will end up being detached from their present time and the future life.

The Life Animation objective processes are great present time processes.
________________________________________

HANDLING THE PROCESSES OF PRESENT TIME
The processes of present time follow the process basics:

What you must make sure of is that the client follows and has these realizations on their present time existence and what they want handled.

Phase 1. The introduction phase.

Phase 2. The definition phase.

Phase 3. The beginning of running the process phase.

Phase 4. The sorting out phase.

Phase 5. The significance to self phase.

Phase 6. The significance to self mocked-up others phase.

Phase 7. The collision into force, charge and mass contained in the client's mock-ups of self, others and environment phase.

Phase 8. The three dimensional holographic phase.

Phase 9. The actual contact by telepathic projection with present time self, others and environment phase.

Phase 10. The handling and permeating of the force, charge and masses contacted that are contained or attached to the present time self, others and environment phase.

Phase 11. The expanded present time phase.

Phase 12. The webbing phase. This is the creating of three dimensional holographic future images and telepathic projection of those images to cause fusion with images of others that want to create similar optimum scenarios.

Phase 13. The continuation of the process as a three dimensional holographic action in a real three dimensional holographic expanded present time phase.

Phase 14. The upscaling of lines, terminals and games of life phase.

Phase 15. The continuous attainments of optimum wants phase.

Phase 16. The living of your life with a continuous floating resistance value and full Green Zone Truth Phenomena phase.
________________________________________
The area you and your client will have the greatest difficulty with are these phases:

Phase 6. The significance to self mocked-up others phase.

This phase contains incredibly false perceptions about others and the job in hand. This area is full of opinions, precepts, unreality, labels and generally substituted confront mechanisms. The client is attempting to withhold itself from phase 7 phenomena.

Phase 7. The collision into force, charge and mass contained in the client's mock-ups of self, others and environment phase.

This area also contains false perceptions, false ideas about others, subjects and intentions and false environments. Often this material is put there to make self right and others wrong, or as an excuse to not go into action.

Phase 8. The three dimensional holographic phase.

Because of the charge force and mass, the Being's space will be collapsed and they cannot envision in a three dimensional holographic manner.

Phase 9. The actual contact by telepathic projection with present time self, others and environment phase.

To be able to do this there cannot be any charge, force or mass on others.

Phase 10. The handling and permeating of the force, charge and masses contacted that are contained or attached to the present time self, others and environment phase.

This requires the willingness to know, be known and act in present time.

Phase 11. The expanded present time phase.

The Being is fully present in present time and can extend themselves and their three dimensional holographic creations into the future.

It takes a practitioner who has mastered the basics and applications of those basics of their craft to get a client through these process phases. It requires superb presence, a powerful, certain communication cycle, attention to detail, strong ability to direct attention, and of course the practitioner needs to be in present time.
________________________________________
A common series of realizations occur when the client arrives in present time:

They find their car is old.

Their clothes are out of style.

Their communication lines are out of the main stream.

Their living quarters need lots of repair or upgrading.

They are wrongly positioned and thus are not set up to succeed at what they want to accomplish.

It is vital therefore to have present time fully discharged and set up to succeed.

I guess I'm just one of those negative beings Alan talks about, but I find much of what he writes very pompous and long-winded, and unnecessarily complex.

Also, that PTP example is misleading. I'll paraphrase Hubbard here: flying ruds is a little whisk-broom flick-flick action you do to get something out of the way so you can handle the main action of the session with the heavy earth-moving equipment. You don't try and handle something major by flying a rud on it. But in Alan's example he is pretending that that is the way it is done in Scn.

You can say it's just an example, but it comes across to me as disingenuous.

Correction

Can you fill us in on the where/when of these events.

I know DartSmohen states here that he saw the OT8 materials on the Scotsman/Apollo.

RogerB

Just to put matters in perspective, I NEVER said I saw OT 8 on the Scotsman. There was never an OT 8.

We had up to OT 6.

What I saw was handwritten details of "THE FINAL RUNDOWN".

This was never released and the materials destroyed.

As an aside, the concepts of this procedure are well covered by Alan in his book, "Gods in Disguise".

In about 1970 Hubbard released "OT 7", a remedy to assist in the running of OT 3. This was followed by OT3X.

As for the rest of the "levels", that is whatever Hubbard, in his final tortured state, dreamed up.

Trust this clarifies this point.

The issue is not that the client needs a 150,000 dollars; the issue is that he has a problem about it.

What Alan is advising is that the auditor help the preclear to solve the problem - which will only reinforce it in the long run - rather than as-is the problem (or in the case of ruds, key it out) - which will vanish it.

In the example you gave the client "realises" that he should use the mest of the physical universe to handle the mest of his mind. That is not the direction in which auditing is supposed to be going.

It Is Good To Be Duplicated

So . . . . .

Blue and Raffo have co-empowered each other as good spirits do . . .

And now what do we have? :D

Much Magic, true magic, is occurring:D

RogerB

Roger, thank you for the Big Ack. You are right, as usual.

We are having continuing Magic happen, which is ONE HELL OF A LOT OF FUN.

He is also an exceptionally Validative being which has helped me get to the real me.

Also our purposes line up like two synchromeshed gears. MORE FUN.


Your earlier help is also acknowledged and much appreciated too.

This is a snippet from John's post:

After my Suppressive person declare in Los Angeles, it took me quite a while to fully recover from the apparent loss of hundreds of loving friends who arbitrarily turned their backs on me. For years I suffered from horrible nightmares in which I was being labeled and attacked by the people and fellow Scientologists that I had helped and loved.

One only needs to contrast that with centers and missions to know where the independent people hung out.

When Peter Rundberg was declared for something, he didn't show up for work at the Santa Clara center. He was a class Vl auditor with a full line up of PCs. Phil Spickler called him and chewed him out for not showing up to audit his clients. He was back at work by noon. Declares didn't quite have as much weight to the people in the missions.

When Alan Walter was declared, one time, he stayed with friends, who had a busy center and destimulated.

When Clay Primrose was declared, I gave him a job.

When Al Ribisi blew the Sea Org, I loaned him a house.

Orgs were a lot more "on policy" Missions flew by the seat of their pants.

I remember Bill Franks after he was busted and declared, was C/Sing for the Fifth Avenue New York mission. Howard Rower was the mission holder. Rower got declared for it.
 
Let's all make more magic happen!

So glad, dear Blue Spirit, to hear this, especially after your prior bad experience. Hope all is healed and made whole again, sounds like you are well on your way!

We all need validation and helpful friends! :yes: Thank you, John and Roger! :happydance:

Oooh, Dart! If you have not yet written up this part of your story, please do so and share it with us here? Pretty please? Or, if you have already done so, please point us to it. Thank you!

Just to make sure that I understand you clearly, you are referring to the Hubbard handwritten details of "The Final Rundown", which were never released and were destroyed, as the concepts being "well covered by Alan in his book, 'God's in Disguise', and you were not referring to the earlier posting by Roger of Alan's "The Evolution of a Power Technology".

No need to comment if I am correct, but please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you! :D

It's o.k. to think differently!

Paul, you are not a negative being! Your brain just works differently and you have devised different, efficient and effective processes for people to work with. Bravo for doing it!

Other practitioners have developed other methods and modalities to work with their clients, and that's all to the good. The same is true of teaching as well as counselling. :thumbsup: What really works great and runs smoothly for one, will go ka-put for another. Isn't individuality lovely? :)

Alan's process may work better for some people. Yours for others. There is NO one right way to counsel people or ONLY one right process to run with people. Period! The diversity of life experiences, and our consciousness, and our being cannot be simplified to that degree. Too many variables in individual pc needs and personalities, abilities to perceive and communicate well on the auditor's part, etc. When there is a true meeting of the minds and blending of energies, healing and growth happens, and it is really like making "Magic".

Scientology's big whoops is in trying to turn out auditors via a cookie cutter approach.
 
I love you guys!!!

Ted, I love your post quoting the Dalai Lama. Lovely insight there.

That it follows Carmelo's homage to Hef...well...this thread's got everything! :p

I guess we can find commonality in wanting to see more, experience more freedom, etc.?

Lakey, help me out here, before I dig myself into a hole! :blush:

Roger, thanks for posting Alan's process. I have used something similar on myself with great success! Leon, I appreciate your clarification. It made me go back and re-read with more understanding, thank you!

Facey, excellent reply to Fisherman's querys. I loved what you had to say about identities. We all are so much more than what we identify ourselves with, or as (roles, possessions, children, artwork, legacys, likes and dislikes, love affairs, causes, religions, etc!) Every intelligent person I have ever spoken with has found this to be true. Such a good reason for us all to wake up more fully, in the Gurdjieff-forth way sense. To be more aware, and limit ourselves less.

That's what I am workin' on! :D

John, I'm glad you are continuing with your story. I for one want to hear it all, because I can confront anything on this subject, and am willing to explore it fully with you guys who were in for so long, and in since the beginning, for the sake of history and our collective understanding of the whole subject. I do think it's for the greater good that the entire whole truth about Scientology comes out in the open, and everyone involved has their own little piece of that truth...don't die with your stories untold, folks! Leave a trail of breadcrumbs for the rest of us to follow...so to speak! :thumbsup:

I think you will find that many other people experienced the same betrayal and nightmares, etc... as well as the good times and magical moments with Ron, the man.

The haters here have reason to be so angry and dismissive. Don't take it personally. We are each on our own individual path with understanding what Scientology means to us, if anything.

I am very glad that you are going to continue to share your own personal story, insights and recollections with us here.
