If A then B (Comment on Tone Scale)
I seem to remember that in Science of Survival LRH said that the Tone Scale could be used to determine where other people were at on a survival level, so you could use the Tone Scale to decide whether you wanted to go into business with or marry that person, etc. It seemed quite the useful tool to the early wog initiate such as myself.
I now observe: LRH had close upper Sea Org Staff members with whom he worked for years – including David Mayo for example, LRH’s own auditor -- LRH should have certainly known the “Tone Level” of those people – Right?? And it should have been a high “Tone Level” because they were at the uppermost levels of COS, and LRH certainly would not have been fool enough to work with low “Tone Level” people for years, would he?
I now observe also that COS has had Sea Org Staff members who have been in very elevated positions of responsibility – Mr. Headley at Golden Era Productions, for one – who certainly must have been a high “Tone Level” person because one certainly doesn’t entrust a key portion of one’s business enterprise management to a 1.1? Surely the COS is not fool enough to recruit and promote low “Tone Level” people to key positions. Surely the COS and LRH know how to determine where a person is chronically on the Tone Scale, and promote only the best.
(After all, I can see the glossy photographs in the beautiful high quality Flag publications, the smiling attractive well dressed people on Staff, these people are obviously very high on the Tone Scale.)
Surely the COS and LRH could use the Tone Scale, and the definition of a Suppressive Person to determine whether or not key employees have suppressive characteristics, and prevent those SP’s from rising thru the organization.
(Oh my goodness – I just visited the website that has all the pictures of the SPs!! What horrible looking people! They are dowdy, fat, frowzy, dumpy, stupid looking – obviously very low toned people!! Who would ever believe anything these ugly looking people had to say --?)
But I then observe that all of a sudden Mr. Mayo and Mr. Headley, who obviously at one point in their lives had to possess a high Tone Level to handle the large responsibility entrusted to them -- and thousands of other key Sea Org people on whom the success of the enterprise depends -- are gone from the organization! And are all of a sudden declared to be low on the Tone Scale, Suppressives at 1.1, covertly hostile! How could this be!!? Cannot we use the Tone Scale as a predictor of these people’s performance in the organization? Cannot we use the definition of Suppressive Person to predict their performance in life? What happened???
A number of possible explanations come to my mind.
A. LRH did not know how to use his own Tone Scale.
B. The COS does not know how to use the Tone Scale.
C. I am obviously a complete idiot and cannot grasp the Reality that is presented to me on glossy paper in shiny color photographs, or the Reality seen in out-of-focus stupid awful photographs on a SP mugshot website.
D. The Tone Scale is Bullshit.
E. The Suppressive Person Definition is Bullshit.
F. The entire world is full of covertly hostile Suppressive Persons waiting to surface (which makes COS/LRH a PTS Type III – INSANE).
Let us examine these possible explanations. I know LRH was a bright guy, can’t have been A. B, hmm, B. No, there is a lot of Tone Scale training in COS, can’t be B. C. Hmm, am I a complete idiot? Possibly, possibly – but wait, I went to Flag and GAINED CERTAINTY and HAVINGNESS and took one of the COS’s IQ tests and COS itself said I was a Fucking Genius. . .
So it must be some combination of D, E, and F.
Bullshit and Insanity. Got it.
My goodness, I
am feeling fat, frowzy and dumpy of late. . .
If the Tone Scale is supposed to be a WORKABLE definition of spiritual/emotional states, then how come it does not WORK for LRH who wrote it up, and for the COS which is supposed to use it? If the Suppressive Person definition is supposed to be a WORKABLE model of how to identify bad guys to avoid, then why did said definition not WORK for the guy who wrote it up, and does not WORK for the COS which is supposed to live by it?
Some combination of D, E, and F above.
Bullshit and Insanity. Got it.
Oh wait.
OH My Goodness! I forgot! They could have all been Suppressive Persons in a Past Life!! AHah! . . . .!:wink2:
Let me address that one in another post. . . . I can hardly wait. . .
