I really just can't believe the reports about places where Ron is showing up.

It has been difficult to get information about the new upcoming release of the latest in the Matrix franchise. The Matrix IV: Suppression & Overwhlem finds Neo once again visiting with the Oracle, but this time Neo has enlisted the help of the Biggest Boots in the Digital Sky. Yes, L. Ron Hubbard was called back from Target Two to contribute his genius to crack the Matrix implant code, and to thereby tape the path so that the rest of the trapped can finally become free. :happydance:

We were only able to obtain one single clip from this sequel to humanity's endless battle with robots and machines, and fundamentally, with the limitations of his own mind.

There were so many cool analogies between Matrix and "spiritual awareness & freedom".

From the movie:

Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

Ron has been very busy creating his own universe. Apparently, he got disappointed with the way the things are going in our universe -- the CoS membership is shrinking, DM is altering the Tech, Katie has rejected Scientology, etc.
Poor Ron needs a fresh start and a new army of Ron-droids.

A Ron cowpoke hat has been spotted on the set of the latest in the Austin Powers franchise.

Mini-me, played by Verne Troyer, obviously has the same feelings about Hubbard & Scientology as many of use here on ESMB.

And, not one to be left out, Mike Meyers has decided that Dr. Evil needs one too.

Anyways, who better than Dr. Evil himself to spot another "Dr. Evil" (Hubbard)?

It takes one to know one.

And that is why so many basically good people get suckered by Hubbard. Good and decent people can't often easily spot REAL EVIL in others, because it isn't much in themselves.

the difference between good people and evil people is circumstance, opportunity, error, and trauma.

We are ALL just people. None of us start out good or evil. Those are learned as we go.

Character: Good & Evil

the difference between good people and evil people is circumstance, opportunity, error, and trauma.

We are ALL just people. None of us start out good or evil. Those are learned as we go.

There is a thing called "character". Ever hear of it. Y:yes:es? N:no:o? :confused2:

It is an intangible, yet very real something that is developed over time by a person based on an accumulation of reactions and responses to what you called circumstance, opportunity, error, and trauma.

You make it sound like that is all there is to it. Cute THEORY, but grossly flawed in my opinion.

Oh, yep, you got it all figured out - we are each a blank slate at birth, and EVERYTHING we are is some combination of ONLY circumstance, opportunity, error, and trauma. To me that is dumb as can be.

Have you carefully watched a baby develop right from when it is born? It is obvious to me that the "being" has a "slant on things" right from the start. There are likes and dislikes that exist BEFORE any sort of learning. You are free to disagree.

Now, while it is impossible to duplicate environmental factors entirely, it was obvious to me that different people, in very similar situations, RESPOND differently. Something (consciousness, a being, basic awareness, basic personality) takes in the environmental factors of (what you call) circumstance, opportunity, error, and trauma, and then deals with and responds uniquely based on WHO he or she IS.

You seem to state it all as "nurture" in the "nature versus nurture" debate. You more than imply by your statement that the environmental factor is all that there is, or at least VERY senior.

Now, if one adds in the idea that this "inner personality" may be developing over EONS (past lives, reincarnation), well then what you said is very incomplete and limited in terms of an accurate describing of what is actually going on here.

There is much more going on here than your statement includes.

This sequence underlying character development can easily be observed in people if one pays attention.

Character

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.


A person's character develops over time, based on how any person chooses to deal with and respond to circumstance, opportunity, error, and trauma.

It isn't all "stimulus - response".

Maybe this basic character or innate personality is entirely genetic, and has nothing to do with a "spirit". Maybe it is "passed along" as part of the genetic bundle of information. And, as a person responds over an entire life, this NEW bundle forms, and may get passed on through genetics alone. I don't know about the mechanics or the details of the structure involved, but functionally, there is something THERE that acts as a sort of inner baseball player who fields the environmental forces in a unique way to him or her. How a person does this over time creates what is known as character.

And, your character sets the bounds of your destiny. And maybe, based on WHO any person is at any time, a certain range of futures are thereby attracted to him or her.

This is key now. Over time, and possibly over very LONG periods of time, this collective bundle of responses known as character takes on a quality of goodness or evil, and differing for each person as relates to the many different areas of life. While this basic personality can and will be changed over time, the components of any person's character are much slower at this constant evolution. For at least certain periods of time at least, a person can exist fairly stably somewhere along the spectrum between good and evil, in regards to various areas of life. Any person has various predilections (towards good or evil) based on an accumulation of habits and actions over time. This is also know as Karma in eastern philosophy.

It takes a long time to change ones character, because it grows and evolves slowly.

So, watch what you think. Watch what you say. Watch want you do. Especially on a chronic basis, and be attentive to what sort of habits you are developing, because you are in this way creating a mold and setting a pattern for how you will next appear down along the chain of cycles.

And, whether it is a case of some sort of reincarnation, genetic accumulation and transference, some combination of both, or something else entirely, some inner something is there and it gets transferred along through the species.

While what is considered good or evil is entirely relative and often culturally-defined, in addition to that, each person possesses his or her own unique predisposition to think and act along lines that are at different times called good or evil.

More of Ron's amazing new updated biography has leaked again.

Back when the Blues Brothers were looking to make their second movie, Dan and John met with LRH! Yes, because they had heard that Ron had figured out the "exact Tech" for movies and media success.

Also, since Ron had taken the subject of art right down to its very basics in the Art Series, Jake and Elwood were hoping that Ron could wave his magic wand on a sequel. They were fully briefed on how "the Tech can take any venture into Affluence". :yes:

This shot shows the boys meeting with Ron, chatting it up, and getting along royally after Ron picked up a harmonica and showed them how "in Tech" blues was REALLY played. The CMO staff present were besides themselves and all wrote Success Stories stating that they each had what seemed like a "religious experience".

They agreed that Ron had discovered new scales and possibilities for the harmonica that never had before appeared here on Earth. As always, Ron was pushing forth and breaking new ground in the arts. The youngest CMO missionaire fainted after exclaiming, "My God, Ron is so THETA"!!!!!! :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:

The Blues Brothers wanted LRH to be in the next movie. The studio, the investors, the producer, the director - EVERYBODY begged Ron. They even gave him a pair of official Blue Bothers sunglasses in the hope that Ron would jump onboard shoulder-to-shoulder with the rest of the Blues Brothers team.

blues-brothers-6.jpg


Ron explained to them that he himself was on a "mission from God", and that saving this sector had to take a top priority now. Ron used his superior knoweldge of ARC and TRs to let them down easy, and to control their upsets to a Major Stable Win. :omg:

A new biographical magazine special edition will be released called, "Ron the Bluesman". This new piece of important LRH history will now be out there for all to read about. We suggest, no, we demand, that every Scientologist pre-purchase your own copy NOW. Buy Now! Buy Now! Buy Now!

Hip-Hip-Hooray!!!! :happydance: :clap: :happydance: :clap:

Note: They LOVED the cowpoke hat and were thinking of replacing their fedora hats with his for the next movie! Ron explained that the Marcabs wore fedora hats, and that it might prove too restimulative. Images of Jake and Elwood trying on the cowpoke hats are still being kept hidden in secure undergroun vaults where LRH's life history is being kept intact for all eternity. This sort of extremely high-toned data must be let out only little bits at a time, otherwise people may succumb to "theta-overload".

That lazy son-of-a-bitch isn’t even trying anymore.

:lol:

You would think I might have learned my lesson with this thread - the small "ice cream all over the show" incident earlier in the week. But no, I opened the thread with a mouthful of dinner and read this.

I'm gonna Chinese school:

Do not read "Where's Ron?" thread when eating or drinking.

And again:

Do not read "Where's Ron?" thread when eating or drinking.

Magoo, just right click on any image, and select "save picture as . . . ". In that way you can choose where to save any image to your computer's hard drive. You can also remane the image file if you want to at the same time.

Here's an avatar-sized version of a "fully-hatted Magoo".!

I was down visiting my local chapter of the O.T.O. (Ordo Templi Orientis) today, and it seems that a NEW leader has replaced Mr. Aleister Crowley as the spiritual head of this world-renowned organization.

Interestingly, I saw the same exact image during a vision while doing my morning meditation.

Concentrate and behold the TRUTH:

Wait a darned minute!! How did you get those diminishing-diameter decals? You didn't......do it.....individually, did you?!! OMG.

By the way, that one is a Hall of Fame candidate!!!! All that someone needs to do is spin it and hypnotically repeat: "You're getting anaten, you're getting anaten....."

Well, while I did do each one individually, I started with a pattern that I stole off of the Internet.

I have this saved in a folder:

It was easy to keep resizing the image, and then pasting right over the existing circle. It took less than 15 minutes. Once an image was somewhat in place, if I hold the CNTL key down, the arrows move it ONE pixel at a time in any direction - so centering each image was fast and easy. :confused2:
