Have you ever wondered about the reasoning behind the intro steps of the Purification Rundown, The Happiness Rundown and the False Purpose Rundown. At the end of this last step you have a member who is totally committed, enslaved, in fact.
Let us start with the Purification Rundown.
This is a very laudable step. What a great idea to cleanse the impurities out of your body so that you are no longer the effect of them. I am sure many people will affirm that they got great results out of this and I am sure they did. After all, there would seem to be no down-side to this action.:confused2:
Well, let us look more closely. First of all, normal exercise will and soes achieve exactly what the Purif sets out to deliver, but without the expensive procedures and the enormous amounts of vitamins, niacin and minerals that you ingest.
I do not know where Hubbard picked up on the emotive datum that LSD and other drugs get stored in the fatty tissues of the body, maybe it it true, maybe it is a fabrication. You decide for yourself
My brother-in law was head of biochemistry at a leading North East hospital. When he heard my wife has tried the purif out he laughed and said "Hullo Zombie":confused2:
What did he mean? Was he simply having a dig at the philosophy behind the purif, or was he making a professional observation?
I asked him to explain his comment. He told me that when you take such large amounts of vitamins and minerals, the body simply expels what it cannot process, but the remaining stuff needs to be assimilated. In order to do so, the body draws on essential amino acide stored in the fatty tissues of the brain.
What is wrong with that, I asked. Nothing at all, except that as a result of the sudden drop in levels of amino acids, the person becomes more compliant, more obedient and responsive to commands.
Having attested complate, the person willingly signs up for the Way to Happiness Rundown. Here they study and take on board the rules for happiness that Hubbard sets out for them. It doesn't matter if they have their own cultural or personal rules, these are the rules you live by. The end product is that the person has a valence shift.
Are you following this?
The person has started off as a fully self- determined person and has moved on down to become other -determined, heading toward robotic.
Now we come to the False Purpose Rundown. Here the person is persuaded that any critical thoughts they may have had about any aspect of Scn, Hubbard or any of the other elements of the cult, were not their thoughts, but something said by another person, a SP or such.
The end result is a person who is totally on-board, a committed Scientologist who simply follows the party line, who is programmed to yap and snarl at the merest hint of criticism against the cult.
If you want to see some very good examples of this product, have a close look at the behaviour of the OSA and security goons. They have been completely programmed. This is repeated conditioning with rewards for compliance and penalties for failure to obey.
A downward spiral from self-determinism down to fully robotic.
Is there an underlaying evil purpose being carried out here by the cult?
Or is this just a wierd coincidence?
Each of us has our own point of view on this.
