Subj : FOR ANDREAS - Opinions from a Scientologist 

--------------

On May 9, 1997, Andreas Heldal-Lund (heldal@online.no) posted
>  Subject: Invitation to Scientologists (second try)
>  Message-ID: <3372f874.405259091@news.telepost.no>
asking for opinions or rebuttle from Scientologists which
could be put up on his website which is:
>  OPERATION CLAMBAKE -- http://home.sol.no/heldal/CoS/

Although I am a Scientology Reformist rather than a Loyalist,
and my opinions do not reflect those of Scientology Management,
I am, none the less, still in good standing (and will remain so
only until OSA succeeds in cracking my anonymous identity unless
a reform occurs before that happens).  Therefore, it would
seem appropriate for me to contribute to the "pro" section of
this website, especially as the loyalists seem to be afraid to
say anything.

Andreas has asked for e-mail as follows:
>  10.Use "Opinions from a Scientologist" as the subject of 
>     the message when mailing it to me. 

Since I don't use e-mail (I already have one line of potential
exposure injecting into the newfeeds, I don't need a second one,
no matter how secure, because it doubles my opportunities for
making a careless mistake and blowing my cover), I'm putting
this into ARS in the hope that he will see it and pick it up.
If he doesn't get it in a week or so, perhaps some kind soul
could email it to him.

OPINIONS FROM A SCIENTOLOGIST by The Pilot


Yes I am a Scientologist.

I believe that L. Ron Hubbard was a brilliant man who made important
discoveries about the mind and spirit.

I do consider Scientology to be a religion because it treats
the person as an immortal spirit who reincarnates down through
the ages.  This did not come about through some devine revelation
but instead resulted from the simple and practical matter that
the use of Dianetic incident running to relieve traumatic experiences
continually lead to uncovering past life incidents.  This was
contrary to the theories presented in "Dianetics The Modern
Science Of Mental Health" and was the original breakthrough which
changed the subject from a therapy into what might better be
described as an advanced form of metaphysics and practical
philosophy.

Unfortunately, the management of the Church of Scientology has
chosen to persue various policies which I believe to be harmful
and distructive.  The backlash against these harmful acts may
result in their eventual demise and bring about the loss of
what I consider to be the most important of all subjects, namely
the study of man as an immortal spirit rather than as a meat
body wallowing in the mud.

On this basis, I am a reformer rather than a loyalist within
the ranks.  There are many who share my views.  But one of the 
harmful policies that I wish to see changed forbids any attempt 
at reforming the subject.  For this reason, you will see little
talk of reform within Scientology because any member who proposes
it is immediately excommunicated.

This is the reason that I must post this and any other honest
discussion in an anonymous manner.  To identify myself would
result in my being declared a "Suppressive Person" and would
cause friends and family to "disconnect" from me.

If that did happen, the only way I could continue to practice
my religion would be to join the "Freezone" which consists
of disbarred Scientologists who practice without sanction
from the Church.  Unfortunately, Scientology management attacks
these independents with a visciousness that defies description.
This is another point where serious reform is needed.

It has been said that Scientology, which claims a membership
of 8 million world wide, actually only has about 50 thousand
members.  This is incorrect.  The true membership (not counting
the people who only did a beginners course which is where the
inflated figure of 8 million comes from) is probably around
1 or 2 million.  But the critics are right in observing that the
active membership is around 50 thousand.  95 percent of the
Scientologists are currently inactive and standing on the
sidelines thanks to the misguided management that is currently
in effect.

Currently there is a great controversy about material that the Church
has labled "confidential materials".  These are secret scriptures
which management has made a big deal out of and for which they
charge excessively high prices.  Of these, the most secret are
the NOTS materials.  They deal with techniques for the handling
of "entities" (which are referred to as "body thetans" or BTs in
the materials).  These form the tiniest percentage of the
Scientology materials.  When this material was originally researched
in the 1952-3 time period, it was recognized to be a minor factor.
It was not at that time considered to be dangerous or labled
confidential and was only discussed in about two dozen out of 
the 600 or so lectures given by Ron during that period
of early research into what is known as "OT" or Operating Thetan.
"Thetan" is the Scientology word for spirit, meaning the person
himself rather than his body and an OT is a being who has regained 
his ability to operate as a spirit rather than just as a body.

Considering that there are over 3000 hours of taped lectures
by Ron and many tens of thousands of pages of written materials,
this business of handling entities is only a drop in the bucket
and is not truely representative of the subject.  But Scientology
management has made a grave mistake in attaching fantastic
importance to this minor aspect and has gone lawsuit crazy on 
the subject of keeping these materials hidden.

They do this because "confidential levels" are imagined to
be big money makers.  They have followed the same path as did
Christianity in the middle ages, placing money ahead of truth,
but Christianity has mostly overcome this (with a few exceptions)
and so can Scientology.  The presence of greed in the upper ranks
neither validates nor invalidates the religion itself, it is
simply an unfortunate fact of human nature that sometimes gains
the upper hand.

But not only are these money making ideas morally wrong, they
are also quite stupid.  Really big income comes from high volume
and low prices rather than trying to gorge the rich for some
exclusive service.

The backlash to this lawsuit madness has been to make people so
mad at the Church that great efforts and risks are undertaken to
present these confidential materials to the public.  As of this
writing, a copy of the NOTS auditors pack is available at Andreas'
web site.  I personally do not have any objection to your
downloading it (but I am in total disagreement with Scientology
management in this regards).  I don't think it will harm you to
read it and you might even find the techniques useful on some
rare occasion.  But please realize that this is only one out
of many dozens of areas addressed by Scientology.  It would be
far more useful to most people to get copies of the Scientology
materials on handling things like problems or upsets.  I have
run the NOTS materials myself with benifit (and the NOTS pack
I have seen on the internet does match the one used by the 
Church) but it would not have been of great interest to me or
been very useful until after I had worked over the more important
areas (such as communication, problems, guilt, etc.) extensively.

The internet is also carrying a good bit of what Scientoligists
call "whole track" material.  By whole track, we mean the whole
time track of a beings existance rather than the current lifetime.
Again this only represents a small percentage (perhaps a hundred
taped lectures) of a vast body of work.  It is slightly speculative
and is labled "para-Scientology".  These things are primarily
based on data accumlated from running past life incidents that
took place in earlier space travelling civilizations.  As
such, they suffer from the vaguries of individual recall.  A
number of the sessions where these kind of things came up are
recorded among the numerous taped lectures and it is left up to
the membership to judge these things for themselves.  It is
an adventure of exploration rather than an accurate and
confirmed history.  You don't have to believe these things to
practice the subject.  Modern Dianetic practictioners are expected
to let the PC (preclear - the person being helped) run past life
incidents but they are expressly forbidden to suggest or evaluate
what is to be found in these earlier lives.  It is an individual
matter.  

Scientology management currently finds itself in the hypocritical
position of suppressing free speach and open communication while
worshipping a founder who's most famous quote is "When in doubt,
communciate".  And its not just the external critics that they
suppress.  They also suppress the communications of their own
membership.

Isn't it amazing that there isn't an army of enthusiastic
individual Scientologists honestly communicating about the subject 
on the internet?  You many not know it, but most Scientoligists
have a fantastically high communication level.  They have it
on any subject except Scientology itself.  And they have it
there too as long as they are not talking publicly.  But any
public communication requires getting "Issue Authority".  Any
openly critical remark will land them in Ethics.  And
even a lighthearted joke could get them in trouble because of
the "Jokers and Degraders" policy.  They are literally scared
to say anything publicly about Scientology.  And its Scientology
management that enforces this and keeps them afraid.

This is why I am a reformer within Scientology, and will continue
to be one as long as I remain anonymous.  And when I can no longer
remain anonymous, I will continue to be a reformer.  Unfortunately,
at that point I will be a reformer on the outside since attempting
to reform the subject is one of the many acts listed as "High
Crimes" which will cause one to be thrown out and excommunicated.

There are many of us within the subject.  We begin with veiled
remarks to feel each other out.  Gradually, free communication
begins to develope.  Eventually you discover that only a small 
percentage believe in Int (International) Management.  Most dislike 
prices, registrars, ethics, and the various high pressure tactics 
empolyed by the Sea Org.  Most of the membership remains in because they
believe in the tech and in the expressed goals of the subject.
This is why I have stayed in for so long.

My opinions do not reflect those of Scientology management.  They
do, however, reflect the opinions of many Scientologists, most of
whom are afraid or unwilling to speak publicly.

Many of those who do disagree with management will not say so
publicly because they are afraid that the subject will be distroyed
if they give any support to the critics.  Management encourages
this.  They might even be encouraging some of the attacks on
Scientology.  Any attack that does not publish confidential data
(because that is a money maker) works to their benifite because
it supports their contention that there is a war on between
Scientology and the "evil suppressives" (or psychs or squirrels
or wogs or whatever).

In peacetime, many citizens consider it their right and duty to
criticize the government.  But if a country is at war, such
criticism can be labled as treason.  The same goes for Scientology.
If they can promote a war zone mentality, they can lable any
internal critic as a suppressive person and toss him out.

I sincerly believe that Scientology is critical to the future
of this planet.  I also believe that the current management is
stearing the religion stright towards distruction.

Their rabid attacks create enemies where there were none.

Their suppression of communications violates every basic principle
of Scientology auditing.

Their exploitation of their own staff members drains the backbone
of the organization and leaves them ever weak and endangered.

And their endless "stops" on the lines prevent the membership from
learning and using the tech of Scientology, which was the purpose
of the whole thing in the first place.  These stops not only
include the super high prices but also endless unnecessary
security checks, ethics stops, confidentiality, and a dread
fear of anybody actually using the subject who is not totally
under the control of the Sea Organization.

Who is "they" you might ask?  Well that's a little hard to 
determine.  There is the "Watchdog Committee" ("Who are these
dogs?" another Scientologist in good standing once said to me),
and there is the RTC, and there is the Board of Directors, and
there is Author Services, and lots of other stuff.  It is very
unclear who is really running things and who is just a figurehead
like Heber.  Rumor has it that Miscavige is calling the shots,
but that is not stated clearly to the membership.

The membership is asked to put their trust in Flag and Int. 
Management and to believe that LRH (L. Ron Hubbard) set things
up to leave the subject in the best of hands.

But I would point out that everybody who Ron ever gave serious
power to was subsequently declared suppressive.  This includes
Reg Sharp, Otto Roos, Ron Shafron, Bill Franks, and David Mayo
just to name a few.  Either he had extrodinarily bad judgement
or something else was going on out of sight.  I will not even
guess at the reason.  All I can say for sure is that whoever
he left in control has long since passed the point where he
would have been declared suppressive if Ron were still around.

This is a call to all Scientologists to actively push for
reform.  I know it is dangerous.  It is also necessary.  I urge
you to study the actual LRH tech, especially the materials of
the 1950s, and to ignore the dictates of management and the
Sea Org.

------

Here are some quotes from LRH tapes of the 1950s.

"We in Scientology could put together a group strong enough
to run over everything it came to.  But then someday, when I
and others are gone, it would have to be overthrown and the
cry will be 'Auditors of the World Unite, you have nothing to 
loose but your certs'".  

- From LRH Tape lecture 15 of the "Anatomy of the Spirit of Man 
Congress" titled "What Scientology is doing" given on June 6, 1955.

"Security is the answer and solution for the fact that nobody
in government can communicate"... "An organization takes on
a life of its own" ... "The head of something shouldn't tell
people what to do, his job is just making sure that the lines
and terminals are in place".  

- from LRH Tape lecture number 18 of the "London Congress on Human 
Problems", titled "Today's Battle of Britain" given on Oct 8, 1956.

-------

For those of you who are reading this who are not Scientologists,
please realize that the organization and the subject are two
different things.  And please recognize that we are currently
going through the equivallent of the Spanish Inquisition in
Christian History.  Just as you would not damn all Christians
for the actions of the Lord High Inquisitor, you should not
damn all Scientologists for the current atrocious behaviour
of their Church.

Subj : Super Scio - Latest CofS Plans


THE LATEST COFS PLANS TO GET THE STATS UP:

Have you heard about it?  Its called:

THE GOLDEN AGE OF TECH

Its based on a brilliant idea.  If you can't get new people to pay 
for courses, then get the old people to pay for doing all their
courses over again.

It will now cost each of the existing class 4 auditors another
15,000 dollars to again become a class 4 auditor.  Of course that's
only for the new "certainty" courses (TRs, study, emeter handling,
and each level from 0 to 4).  There is also a "forgiveness" step
which could easily lead into selling them a few intensives of sec 
checking as well.

Now in all honesty, let me say that it does seem like the courses
have been improved a bit.  I would say that some smart auditors
sat down and tried to make things a bit better.  Theres nothing
wrong with that.  It used to happen all the time when Ron was
still issuing materials, and the field auditors would pick up the
new bulletins and sometimes even pay for a few days of cramming
to catch up on the latest and greatest.

But in this case, somebody in management has cognited that it
would be a good way to make lots of bucks.  

It also gives them an excuse to run a loyalty check on all the
existing auditors.  The auditors are always a bit of a danger.
They read too much of Ron's early stuff (like the quote that I'm
putting at the end of this post) and they get uppity and rebellious.
So in this way, they can filter out all the ones who have stopped
listening to management and cancel their certificates and distroy
their status before they really start making trouble.

Let me quote from Senior C/S International Bulletin No. 168 of
10 May 1996.  Entitled "Auditor Reviatalization".

"The point is, we have auditors who previously trained without
benifit of what the Golden Age of Tech offers, and are consequently
less than perfect.  And following from that failing, they may have
committed some out-tech along the way." ...

"This includes both ex-staff and field auditors, as well as all who
may have trained in the past ..."

"If ethics is out, tech can't go in, and the only way we might fail
to make a perfect auditor is by failing to handle the ethics 
blocks." ...

The bulletin includes an 8 step program that is to be done, which
includes the following:

"5) Auditor Clean-up and Forgiveness step:  This step is done
even if not routing onto course right now.  A. See the Ethics
Officer.  B. Read ..(various O/W HCOBS etc.).  C. Write up
your O/Ws, confessing any and all transgressions including ..."
(and so on and so forth).

The office of Senior C/S International has also issued a "Qual
Summons to ALL previously trained auditors" which includes the
following:

"This is not just a nice idea.  It is a matter of standard tech.  You
MUST report to your org at once and avaial yourself of these
breakthroughs".

Both of the above documents appear in issue 5 of IHELP's magazine
"CAUSE" (undated, but copyright 1997).  They are gradually swinging
into full gear as far as hounding people about this.  I assume that
both of the above were written by "Ray Mithoff" although his name
doesn't actually appear on them (at least in the IHELP version).

Note that the "forgiveness step" ensures that the auditor will blame
himself instead of blaming the org for mis-training him.

One of the big breakthroughs was the discovery that somebody had
added an unnecessary step to the can squeeze which the PC does
at the begining of the session.  Specifically, they were making
the PCs shake their hands out until they were loose and floppy
before squeezing the cans (like is done in the emeter drill).
This was actually introduced by some Sea Org dummies back around
1980 or so (it would be very funny if Ray Mithoff himself were
actually the source of this one).  Occasionally this was annoying.
But it wasn't exactly a key point.  And experienced auditors who
hadn't been browbeaten knew better anyway.

Its actually a matter of judegment.  If the PC is new and doesn't
know how to hold or squeeze the cans, you show him (as in the
emeter drill), if he does know, then you leave him alone.  The
only way they could have trouble with something this simple and
obvious is if they continually kicked the student around until 
he couldn't think for himself but only did things by rote.  And 
that is what happened.

They also have added some nice practical drills, mocking up
situations and having the student figure out what he's going to
do about them.

Back when I was first training, the instructors would push for
this sort of understanding (although they didn't have a specific
set of rote drills).

Then came the Class 8 course and the loss of free thought.  At
that time, if you asked any question of the "What if ..." variety,
you always got the answer "There is an infinity of wrongness and
only one rightness" and they just wanted you to do the steps on
the checksheet and stop "Q&Aing" or worrying about stuff that
wouldn't happen.

This, of course, made rotten auditors, so then somebody got bright
and issed a series of BTBs (Board Technical Bulletins - this 
was how they issued HCOBs that were not written by Ron in the early
1970s) which gave a series of practical drills that were very much 
like the new certainty drills.

Eventually of course, these were cancelled because they were not
by Ron.  But the idea of mocking up and solving the various
difficulties that you could run into while auditing was now back
in vogue and training went well on this basis for a good while.
But of course Sea Org "toughness" and training by force gradually
began to creep back in, distroying free thought and making robots.
I think that the current training is a mixed bag, depending on
who is supervising the course.

When somebody was trying to sell me on these auditor certainty
levels, I mentioned this business about having done similar
drills in the 1970s.  The answer was "But those were BTBs and
these are HCOBs".  And I replied "Whats the difference?  You
do realize that Ron has been dead for over a decade and that
these are not LRH HCOBs, don't you?".

He wouldn't answer.  I really wonder what they're telling these
guys.  I haven't attended any confidential briefings recently,
so I don't know the latest story.  The tale about all the 
stuff Ron left behind that hadn't gotten issued yet is
begining to wear a bit thin.  That only leaves telepathic
channeling (a'la Koos) or an 11 year old reincarnated LRH hidden 
in the underground vaults, neither of which seems very credible to me.
It should be obvious that Mithoff and company are originating
these things, but that might not be acceptible to the membership
because the trust level is not very high (the same people who
brought you "barking" and "six month sec checks" now have a
wonderful new "discovery" to aid you progress up the bridge).

They actually want to get rid of any of the older auditors that
they have lost control of.  Its been too long since they had
a nice clean purge.

The new solo nots certainty course also gives them a chance to
go after the solo nots completions, collect some more bucks,
and force them to overrun some more.  That's deadly.  I have
said this before.  NOTS is not the basic source of human abberation.
If you do run it to completion and then keep blaming stuff on
it, you are going to assign the wrong source to every abberation
remaining on the case, and that's enough to sink anybody.

What's more, this same filtering business will let them kick out
any Solo Nots completions that are not completely toeing the
party line so that they wouldn't set a bad example for the rest
of the membership.

-------

And now a word from Ron:

"People look on this as being 'my science'.  Yeah, I own all of your
postulates.  I bought them one day at a raffle.  Like the devil I
did!  About the only thing, as I told you the other day, that I have
done is organize and put together, and maybe I can look a little bit
better than anybody else has been looking for a long time, and so I
can see it.  But if you can see it, well , so help me Pete, it's
yours.  Got that?"

From LRH tape lecture 1MACC-26 of 25 Nov 59, titled "Individuation".

-------

SOME MORE POINTS ABOUT THE ONGOING BATTLE:


Watch out for dirty tricks at the DM deposition.  Like maybe a
couple of OSA plants pretending to be antis and assaulting DM
when he enters the building.  That would give him an excuse to
run away and stall some more.

Also in the news is earthlink's new anti-spam campaign.  As you
have probably noticed, they don't really give a damn about 
get-rich-quick advertisements.  This is a shore story to build
up their credibility and protect their reputation before they 
launch a massive cancellation campaign against anti-Scientology 
postings.

Has anybody heard anything about earthlink visiting other ISPs
or news servers to install anti-Spam controls or to get help in
tracking down "Spammers" (which really means annonymous ARS 
posters)?

Concerning MSH (Mary Sue Hubbard) or any of her children or
any old timers who are still high up in the command structure:
If you do have access to any of these people (or can simply
put a note in their mailbox), please push them to get on the
internet and explain about ARS and ACT and searching for things on
dejanews.  Although there is much here that they would find
upsetting and hostile, there are also things that they should
know which appear in these newsgroups.  The upper eschelons
have long suffered from heavily filtered communication lines,
false data, and viewpoints that are heavily interiorized into
one side of the conflict.

It is highly unlikely that MSH & family would support any actions
that were dangerous to the CofS.  This is how they were 
browbeaten in the first place, namely that any resistance to
DM, Starkey, etc would endanger the orgs.  But it has reached
a point where it is obvious that the ruling hierarchy have 
themselves placed the CofS in danger and are running it into 
the ground.  On that basis, she might indeed take action.
But the most you could expect from her would be a reformist
position, to eliminate the various abusive and unethical practices
(the kind of things that I have been pushing for).

Actually, I would be pleasantly surprised if she could even
support the amount of reform that I have been proposing.  I can
only hope that there has been enough eveidence to convince her
that there were flagrant mistakes in policy so that she can
honestly consider reforming the operation for the sake of
preserving the tech and the CofS itself.

As most ARS readers already know, I personally consider that
the tech was brilliant but that much of the later policy (except
for a few smart things such as the Data Series) is self
distructive.

Yes, definitely overhasty.  I do post "good theta" about Scientology
and the auditing tech because I have had good results and I believe
in the higher purposes of truth and freedom and spiritual awareness.
But I also post "bad theta" about Scientology management and church
policies because they are screwed up beyond belief and act in a
manner that is 180 degrees in reverse to those very same higher
purposes.

For example, the Scientology tech says "communicate" but the policys
say "disconnect", "don't talk without issue authority", and
never say anything critical of Scientology, LRH, or the organization.
So I follow the technical basics, and find myself at war with
Scientology management.

My primary purpose on this newsgroup is to reach other Scientolgists
who are lurking and encourage them towards reform.  It is not
possible to do this on internal lines because the comm lines are
tightly controlled and any attempt at reforming the subject is
cosidered to be a suppressive act.

Most Scientologists want to see a safe, ethical, honest, and
non-abusive organization.  Ron said "Scientology makes a safe
environment".  But right now it is a police state.  A few can live
with this (because they rightly feel that the tech is important
and use this to justify putting on blinders as to what is really
happening) and a few even enjoy it (those are the real SPs) but most of 
the membership (at least 95 percent) is actually hiding on the sidelines 
and hoping that things will change.

Every public (non-staff) Scientologist that I know has an answering
machine and never ever picks up the phone without hearing who it is.
They are filtering out calls from registrars, pushy FSMs, Sea Org
recruiters, etc.  They are afraid to say anything nasty to the reg
because they might get written up to ethics, so if they do
accidentally pick up the phone, they end up making stupid and innane
excuses as to why they can't pay for their next service right now.

I heard one story of a girl who "accidentally" tossed her checkbook
down the incinerator shute just before a Sea Org missionaire was
supposed to drop by.  The missionaire ran down to the incinerator
room, got the super to turn off the incinerator, and rooted around 
in the unburnt garbage for two hours to find that checkbook and
push her into giving him some money (which she did).  I heard this
from the missionaire himself.  He was presenting this as a "win"
in "how to make it go right" when "the person's bank was resisting
going clear".

These lurking Scientologists don't dare post anonymously even if
they are totally safe in doing so because they are sure that it would
come up in their next sec check.  Just reading, on the other hand,
is passive and most Scientolgists don't really believe that it can
be an overt no matter what the church says.  And almost everybody
in Scientology knows that the meter reacts on mental charge and
on what you really feel is an overt, it does not work well as a
pure lie detector.  It will never react if you really feel good
about what you did.

My secondary purpose is to let ARS know that most Scientologists
are not the fanatical robots that currently guard and control the
organization.  I want to see a bad organization reformed.  I don't
want to see my friends swamped in the tidal wave of hatred that
that bad organization is currently creating in the world.

My tertiary purpose is to get stuff out into the freezone.  I have
a lot of friends there too.  I have never disconnected from anybody
since 1969.  I'm enough of a tech and policy lawyer to talk my
way out of the occasional "knowlege reports" about how I still
talk to "squirrels".  Since I don't believe in religious wars
(church vs freezone) and I don't consider it an overt, it never
comes up on sec checks.  I have never stepped into a freezone
org because there are OSA agents who infiltrate and report on
freezone membership and I don't think that I could
talk my way out of that one.  But I have always worked to 
discourage fair game and anti-squirrel activities ever since I
saw the Sea Org and Class 8 insanities in the late 1960s.

I fully expect to be cast out into the freezone as soon as the
org figures out who I am.  Unless, of course, I can force them
to reform.  But reform movements take time to grow.  So I 
think of myself as planting seeds which might still ripen even
after I am gone.

But the longer I remain on here anonymously, the more Scientologists
I can reach.  And the more posative I can be about the tech
(but I must remain scrupulously honest about it, and it is not
perfect like the org claims), the more likely it is that the
Scientologists will listen to me instead of filtering me out
as another of those evil "Squirrels" who have "betrayed Ron".
In case you don't know, a "Squirrel" is the derogatory name by
which the org refers to freezoners ("Squirrels gather nuts").

My point exactly.  The org doesn't have to be at war with the rest
of the world.  America is certainly built on religious freedom and
is very tolerant of all sorts of "New Age" stuff.

Yes, this is one of our serious problems.  I firmly believe that the
Ron of the 1950s would be one hundred percent in agreement with what
I'm trying to do.  And most of the Scientology tech comes from the
1950s (2200 lectures out of a total of 2900).   But something went 
very wrong in the later days.  If you compare 1950s lectures on
organization (such as LCHP-18 "Todays Battle of Britian") with
modern policy, you will see that they are 180 degrees in opposition
to each other.

Since he himself said that attempting to research the mind is
booby trapped and dangerous, I like to think that he sacrificed
himself in his valient efforts to find a way out of the trap.
And so the kind, gentle, and fun filled Ron of the 1950s 
turned into the raging psychotic of the later days.  Many of those
closest to him in the later times believed this to be the case
and so they covered up and excused his various dramatizations.
Most of the people who were there are not speaking out for this
exact reason.  The people at the top were often extremely bright
and able.  You don't really think that they were so Stupid as
to believe that a super clear and OT like Ron was supposed to
be could actually be bothered by a little dust or smells in
the air (especially if he was a heavy smoker like Ron).  

But they maintain a wall of silence to protect the membership
from the terrible truth because they really do believe in the
tech and they really do believe that it was research errors
which eventually pushed him over the edge rather than any 
inherent evil purposes.  For this reason they will not speak
up even if they are out of the Sea Org and hiding on the
sidelines.  They just sit there and feel sad about the whole
thing, hanging paralized between the dream and the nightmare
it became.

Yes, he began to go bad in the 1960s.  We see the begining signs of
it in these mid 60s policies.  The endlessly screwed up goals listing
of 1962 to 1964 may have played a part in this.  But its only little
hints along with lots of good tech until the OT 3 research and the
formation of the Sea Org.  Then its nightmare on elm street.  But
the impact didn't hit the outer orgs until 1968-1969 so I really
did have a few good years in that "kinder, gentler Scientology"
which really did once exist and which might someday exist again.

In the sane early days, it was always promoted as a research line and
he didn't pretend to be perfect.  He even told the students to make
a careful distintion between his own personal foibles such as his
dislike of psychiatry and the actual subject of Scientology which
was an attempt to figure out the mechanics of the mind and spirit.

The clam and all that stuff were accurate records of things that
some PCs were finding in past life engrams.  But the research
continued and it was all later found to be implanted pictures
used to convince thetans that they really had evolved from meat
bodies.  But Hubbard never revised things after they were issued,
feeling instead that he should leave it all there as his trail
of research because he did originally think that other researchers
would have to follow him.

Now we have a fanatical membership who do not actually know the
technology.  They read the History of Man book and really do 
believe all that clam stuff and don't even know that its all
invalidated by later research.  By all means make clam jokes
and snap away.  Maybe somebody will wake up and smell the coffee.
Its not going to bother anybody who actually understands the
tech (but they are so very very few).

As far as that later Sea Org Commodore goes, maybe not.

But if you're talking about Ron at his peak in the 1950s, then
my answer is yes, absolutely.

 
>I am also curious on your reasons on believing my some of the more unusual

It was always the wildest stuff that was true.  We almost always failed on
the mundane and consistant things.

DMSMH (Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health) is totally
accurate and demonstrable as to the wild phenomena that you can
get into.  After a quick scan of the book, you can put somebody
on the couch and within 5 minutes have them screaming as you toss
them into the middle of the worst incident that they have experienced
in this lifetime.  I know because I did that to my mother before 
I ever walked into a Scientology organization.  It sold both of
us on the reality of engrams, but we weren't about to try it
again without a lot more study and understanding.

But as to all the theories and claims, its a mess.  If you have
studied modern Dianetics, you know that there is no way in hell
that you could ever make a clear by running prenatal incidents
in the current lifetime according to the theories in DMSMH.

The whole subject is like that.  Wild phenomena.  Unbelievable things
happening.  But its like walking blindfolded through a swamp.
A stable footing here, a quicksand pit there, and so on.

I look on the whole thing as a research effort, attempting to
map out the uncharted regions of the mind and spirit.  Some of
it might be wrong or only half true, like that business about
the clams.  I think that the research is far from complete.
One of my big objections to the current organization is that
research is forbidden and they pretend to have all the answers.

I did want to address one of the questions from your earlier
("overly hasty") post.  The double >> are from my post that
you were querying (the whole thing is too long to repeate here).

Actually I doubt that most people ever figure this one out
without some help.  We're talking here about a sort of defense
mechanism by which somebody "proves" their superiority and 
justifies their overts.  In other words, being smart, they
blame everything on other's stupidity, or being good, they
blame things on the evilness of others.

Whats wrong is not the posative ability but the negative attack
on other people, and because this is used to justify one's
actions, the idea gets fixed in place.  Because the person uses
it to explain why he's kicking other people around (saying that
they're nerds or they're worthless or whatever), it becomes impossible
to talk to them about this because they will defend the idea very
heavily (proving how "right" the idea is).

So its generally a wast of time to tell somebody what they're doing
in this regards.  All you can do is hold up a mirror, so to speak,
and let them look for themselves.  

The auditing question used is:

"In this lifetime, what do you use to make others wrong".

Unfortunately, the real answer is often too heavy to come up 
right off the bat, so the preclear needs to list various answers
until they get down to the basic one.  The whole thing might
just fall apart when they finally confront it, or you might have
to find out how they have been using it to make others wrong 
and to dominate other people.

In Scientology, this is called a "service computation" or a
"service facsimile" (a facsimile is a picture) because the person
considers it to be of service to them in surviving.  It is 
usually abbreviated as "service fac".

Just think of an evangalist who has got everything he has ever
done justified by saying that "They're Sinners" (or "they're
suckers" depending on the evangalist in question).  You'd have
a terrible time getting them to face this mechanism.

The person's basic service fac is hard to get because it goes
all the way back to childhood.  By first grade I had firmly
concluded that all teachers were stupid and never doubted that
fact until I ran the above process.

But there will be lighter, easier computations locked up on top
of the basic ones.  Something formulated in late life might
be easy to spot, especially the shallow justifications that
might be encouraged by a group.

Obviously, the idea that "they're wogs" is used as a service
fac by Scientology as a group.

So here is a question for any Scientologists who might be
lurking here and reading this post:

"How does the idea that 'they're wogs' justify lying to
people?"

I can imagine the answers going on and on about how its
"for their own good" and "they wouldn't understand" and
about how important it is to clear the planet etc.  But
in the end, I would expect this one to wind down to the
correct conclusion which is that this really doesn't justify
anything at all.

I may be tilting at windmills.  Perhaps I'll end up soured and
disillusioned.  But the attempt has to be made.  And if I don't
succeed, maybe I will at least have laid a foundation upon which 
some future reformer can build.

One of my nightmares is a far future in which the CofS rules the
world and its followers chant the axioms ritualistically but
the language has changed and they don't know what the words mean.
And they burn any real OTs or spiritually aware people at the
stake because they are committing sacralige against a tech that
the CofS no longer understands.

This may seem impossible, but I think that it has happened
before.  Consider the following, which might just be my own
wierd idea, but which could possibly be true:

Lets just say, for a second, that NOTS is real and that the
events described in the Gospel are true.

Doesn't that mean that Christ must have figured out and
mastered the basic Solo Nots technique and taught it to
his desciples?  Its not really all that difficult, and
if you had faith and strong intention, you could probably
just ask "who are you" until you got rid of the "demon".
If you look at books like "The Acts of The Apostiles",
you will see that "there was much casting out of demons"
and it seemed like all the more advanced Christians could
do it quite easily.

Then comes the persecution by Nero and the counter strike of
the Christians going underground and taking over the Roman 
government.  And in the process, the technology was lost.  
And the books of the Bible were heavily edited to make them
acceptible as the state religion.  They got rid of the
reincarnation business because it makes the people too
difficult to control - so the Nestorian Christians and
the Gnostic Christians and various other sects that wouldn't
give up the older ideas were stamped out.  And Christ's
story of the child being born blind because of his sins in
his past lives is alter into that business about original
sin.

Now the priests wave crosses and sprinkle holy water and
chant in Latin.  But no demons are ever exorcised.
And Christ certainly didn't carry a cross (except at the
end) nor did he have holy water, and he didn't even
speak Latin.  But he sure had something.  And whatever
it was that he had, it worked.  And what they have now
doesn't work.

This loss of technology was the price that Christianity
paid in exchange for taking over the Roman empire.  And
after that, they took anybody who tried to really figure
things out and called them witches and burnt them at the
stake.

Eventually the Catholic Church even banned white magic
(about 1000 years ago) and eventually even saw to the 
distruction of Constantinople and its vast library of
source materials.  And with that, they lost any remaining
OT drills that might have survived from Christ's time.

There are lots of legends of early saints walking on
water or talking to the birds.  I don't think that it
was because they were such good people (we have lots of
good and self-sacrificing people now), I think its 
because they drilled things.  But the drills have been
lost and we ain't seen any walking on water for a long
time now.

Although most Christians would probably consider me some
sort of heritic, and despite the fact that Hubbard 
himself didn't care much for Christ, I do still consider
myself a follower of Christ as well as Hubbard (and a
follower of Buddah too, for that matter), and I accept
all of them as my personal saviors in the sense of
teachers that gide me towards the wisdom that might
save me and others from the trap into which we are sinking.

PS.  If the early Christians had thought that Christ was the
Son of God, they wouldn't have needed to hold an ecumenical
concil centuries after his death to decide that fact.

If we don't reform Scientolgy now, in a few generations they
will hold a similar council and deify Hubbard, and with
that the last of the tech will dissapear and they will simply
pray for the Hubbard's Second Comming.

Subj : Super Scio - reply to David Gerard


(much snipping of my stuff and David's reply)

On Apr 19, 1997, David Gerard (fun2@SPAMBLOCK.arscc.com)
responded to my earlier posting (SUPER SCIO Asking Ars For Help)
as follows:

> You'd know better than me, but I suspect even the knowledge of
> the existence of an operating Free Zone would be utterly mind-blowing
> for many people in the CoS. Particularly the ones who are into the
> tech but not the control methods of the CoS ...

They all "know" about the Freezone.  But that's not what they call it.
They call it "Squirreldom".  They hang posters around the org
showing the cute little beasties gathering nuts with a big red slash
and circle over them.

The party line is that the Squirrels (Freezoners) are worse than
psychs.  The psychs are only evil enemies whereas the Squirrels
are TRAITORS.

Now lets say that somebody in the Freezone should die.  Now you and
I know that this even happens in stamp collecting clubs.  People
do die occasionally.  But if they should die in the freezone, its
because of the Squirrel Processes that the Freezoners ran on them.
And heaven forbid if it was a person who did not do their OT levels
at the org because then the org will say that the person got sick
and died because the Freezone showed them Confidential Materials
which will "KILL YOU IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THEM".

They will pull this trick even if the person was already dying and
was therefore offloaded by the org as an illegal PC.  If they then
go to the Freezone for help but die anyway, its all the Freezoners
fault.  When Miscavige's mother-in-law comitted suicide, the rumor that 
was intentionally spread (but not put in writing, just told verbally 
at briefings) was that David Mayo had killed her by running Squirrel 
OT3 processes on her.
  
A lot of the early NOTS PCs had trouble.  They were all told later that
it was because they had the "Bad Mayo Nots" instead of the Good
LRH Nots which is now being delivered.

Quite a few of the people in the Freezone ended up there because they
were used as scapegots for various screw-ups.  The membership sees
them out there and believes that those are the guys responsible
for the failures in the subject.

Many of the membership are unhappy with the orgs and the way things
are run.  They sit off on the sidelines and wait for things to
get better.  They all know about the freezone, or rather, they
think that they do and are full of false data about what is going
on there.

Some are afraid of the Freezone and believe all the orgs horror
stories.  Some are simply afraid of losing their friends and
possibly even their family or job or business.  Some are scared that 
OSA will come after them, especially the ones who themselves practiced
Fair Game in the past and now realize that it could be used on
them if they leave.

Many who would support reforms in policy and management are
horrified at the idea of technical reforms and look at Mayo as
some kind of Lucifer.

There are still a few old timers around in key postions.  And there
are many auditors who can think for themselves even if they
have not been in for very many years.  These people see all the
flaws but hang on as I have.  They stay for the sake of their
friends and for the sake of a dream that is more important to
them than the nightmare reality.

The only chance for reform lies with these people.  And it is
a slim chance.  But if it should happen, it would turn everything
around.


> You really should get a Web page yourself, you know.

Of course.  And I even have the skill and the resourses to put
one up quite easily (I work as a computer guru).

But the second I do that, the org is going to find out who I am.

Within a week I will be declared suppressive, be sued, be dead 
agented, lose half my friends, either lose my family or put them
in an impossible position, and possibly even get raided.  

Now maybe I'm jumping at shadows.  Maybe I'm not number one on 
their hit list.  Maybe they'll just come to me and say that
they'll leave me along if I just shut up about all this reform
stuff.  Maybe I could just quietly drift off into the Freezone
without a lot of trouble, but then I'd have to take down the
webpage, so it wouldn't have done much good.

Or maybe I'd go to war and really start blasting.  But then
I'd obviously be a suppresive squirrel and the membership
wouldn't listen to me.

Even now I'm treading on the edge.  I say a lot of nice things
about Ron and Scientology and the Tech.  Without that, the
average member would decide that I'm just another SP who
hasn't been found out yet and they would blindly tune out
everything I'm saying as being Entheta.


> All that will be left of the CoS in ten years will be the free zone.

I certainly hope not, for two reasons.

First of all, I personally believe that a reformed CofS would be
a good and valuable thing to have.  Of course many on this 
newsgroup would disagree, so just chalk this one up as my
own pet foible.

But there is another more frightening reason.  There is a hard
core of fanatics who will defend the subject no matter what
happens.  Depending on how it is done, there might also be
an enourmous number of fence sitters who do not really like
current management or policy but who will go ape-shit if they
think that their religion is persecuted and banned.  They will
suddenly realize that all this crap about the evil suppressives
and the world conspiracy is REALLY TRUE.

Right now we have a Scientology which is analagous to the
corrupt and abusive Catholic church at the time of the Protestant
Reformation.  The hope is that under pressure both from within
and from without, it will either reform or splinter.

It could even be forced to unbundle much as AT&T was dismembered.
It would not be bad to force the top command structure to
divest itself of all control and authority and leave each
organization totally autonimous (with full delivery of all
of the "formerly secret" levels) since that would end its
ability to launch heavy attacks.  The members would go to the
orgs that treated them better and offered lower prices and
better service (org A insists on sec checks but org B doesn't
so you go to org B).  The free competition (with the Freezone
competing equally) would soon force them to clean up their
act.  This might be done by means of monopoly and anti-trust
laws.  And this would actually be good for the CofS because they
would no longer have all their chickens in one basket (no single
point of failure).

But a truely devistating blow (and I agree that it could happen)
would change the senario to that of the Christians under Nero.
The early Christians were not heavily persecuted by Rome.  And
they remained a small sect until Nero blamed them for burning
down the city and started persecuting them.  Then they went
underground (literally - see "The Church in the Catacombs").
It was not long before Christianity was the Roman state 
religion.

You don't smash a large and powerful group of fanatics.
It doesn't really work.  Instead you reform or enlighten
or curb their fanaticism in some manner.

Right now most of the membership will not do anything really
viscious or illegal (Sea Org members under threat of being
RPFed are an exception).  But members of a persecuted
religion will.  

The various clandestine operations were conducted by small 
numbers of Sea Org and GO people.  Can you imagine how bad
it would be if a whole damn army of them went underground?

Now don't get me wrong here.  I am horrified by this idea.
In such a conflict I would side with the Freezone and
attempt to preserve as much of Ron's tech there as possible.
But the fanatics would be planting bombs in Freezone centers
instead of just sueing them.

Furthermore, this kind of stuff would pervert the religion
beyond belief.  I think that most of the good tech would
be lost and only the insanities would remain.

Therefore, I'd much rather see a reform or a splintering
or an unbundling rather than a crushing blow which might
rebound to everyone's detriment.

Sorry if I got carried away here.  This is a hot topic for
me.

Sincerly,

The Pilot

Subj : Super Scio - THE COSMOLOGY OF SCIENTOLOGY


On 1 May 97, Karin Spaink (kspaink@xenu.org) posted a message about
Richard Pepin's movie 'The Silencers'.  She correctly realized
that it was Scientology inspired (its full of Marcabians) and
then mistakenly labled her post "OT3 plot in recent SF movie".

This is as bad as confusing modern Italy with the anchient Roman
Empire and wondering why Julius Caesar was not one of the characters
in "Arivaderchi Roma".

Obviously the ARSCC has fallen down on its job.  They focused in
on just one tree (albiet an excessively priced one) and missed
the forrest.  For this I expect that at least a few of them will
end up in the ARSCCer's RPF making liscence plates for unregistered
UFOs.

Except for the above, this is not a joke and I'm gonna keep my
own wild ideas out of it too.  The following is the straight stuff
on Scientology's sci fi belief system with only a little
bit of interpretation on my part.


THE COSMOLOGY OF SCIENTOLOGY


L. Ron Hubbard gave over 3000 lectures and less than a hundred of
these have any mention of space opera and whole track information.
And in most cases its only a few sentances tossed in to illustrate
a point or to generate a bit of excitement.

Only a small number of lectures have long discussions about
whole track.  These include the following:

HCL-19    10 Mar 52  History of Man series I & II (in new R&D 10)
HCL-20    10 Mar 52  History of Man series III & IV (in new R&D 10)
T88-12    25 Jun 52  Tech 88 & the Whole Track  (in R&D 11)
T88-13    25 Jun 52  Tech 88 & the Whole Track cont. (in R&D 11)
T88-16    26 Jun 52  Theta & Genetic Lines
T88-17    27 Jun 52  Confusion, Action of Track as a result of energy behavior
SOP-8A    30 Oct 52  The Role of Earth
2ACC-26A  17 Dec 53  Space Opera
1MACC-30  27 Nov 59  Principal Incidents on the Whole Track
SHSBC-105 25 Jan 62  Whole Track
SHSBC-265 16 May 63  The Time Track
SHSBC-266 21 May 63  The Helatrobus Implants
SHSBC-268 23 May 63  State of OT
SHSBC-281  9 Jul 63  The Free Being
SHSBC-287 18 Jul 63  Errors in Time
SHSBC-288 23 Jul 63  Between Lives Implants
SHSBC-291  6 Aug 63  Auditing Comm Cycles 

Note that I have used the original lecture series numbers (as given
in all old references such as the complete tape list in Flag Info
Letter 148 of 18 Apr 78).  They have been renumbering stuff in
recent times, mostly to simplify and straighten out the numbering,
but also to cover the holes left by dropping out an occasional
lecture.  

Note that running whole track engrams with Dianetics was only
done in 1952, 1958, and 1963.  Since the data is supposed to be
based on what was coming up in PC's sessions, most of the longer
whole track discussions were given around these time periods.

Intensive use of modern Dianetics only began in 1969, and he
had pretty much stopped talking by then.  One would think that
vast amounts of data would have been dug up, but if so, its
burried in research notes that have never been made public.

----------------------------


ALL WHOLE TRACK MATERIAL WAS LABLED AS "PARA-SCIENTOLOGY".

Scientologists are NOT required to believe it.  It was given out
with a "this is what I found, lets see what you can find" type
of attitude.

The only thing expected of a modern Dianetic auditor or PC is
that whole track incidents need to be run to get good results
with Dianetics.  There is no requirement as to what the PC is
expected to find in those incidents.  The auditor is supposed
to run whatever the PC comes up with, and NO repairs or corrections
are done based on the contents of the incidents that are run.

The ONLY exception is OT 3.  This is the one and only case where
Ron pushed a specific incident that was to be run.

With this in mind, I will present what is suggested (NOT insisted
upon) in the various tapes.

Note that there are two different areas.  "Current" Events (dealing
with groups that are still active such as Marcab) and Anchient
History (dealing with empires long gone such as the one discussed
in OT3).

---------------------------

"CURRENT" EVENTS:

This is just my label for his talks about groups that are still
active.  Some of this stuff goes back tens of thousands of years.

Supposedly there are two space empires in the area.  These are
Marcab and Espinol.  Supposedly this solar system is claimed
by Espinol but Marcab initiated its recent use as a prison planet.
Once the prison machinery was set up, both empires and occasionally
some other empires further away have all started dumping people
here as a convienient place to get rid of undesirables.

Note that Marcab itself is a star in the constellation of Pegasus.
This is in the astronomy books.  That recent scifi movie 
called "The Silencers" had Marcab located somewhere in Orion, 
so it must have come from some half trained Scientologist 
who has no knowlege of astronomy (and he also has the Pliades 
as a system of 7 suns instead of the gigantic star cluster 
described in the astronomy books).

Espinol supposedly has its capital circling one of the tail stars
of the big dipper.

According to a talk given by Quintin Hubbard back in the 1970s,
the whole thing began with a crazy religious group called "The
Cult of the Snake" which was active in the Marcabian empire.
Ron talks about this cult a few times, but never gives a lot of
details.  Marcab was persecuting the cult, and so they decided
to pull a mass exodus (much like the Mormons did).  Although
this solar system was claimed as part of Espinol's territory, its 
use was banned because of the OT3 incident which had happened
here long ago.  So it was unoccupied, and Mars was at that time
inhabitable.  So the cult settled on Mars.  Eventually Marcab
followed the cult here and Mars was burnt off and became a dead world.  

According to Ron, Earth was "colonized" about 10,000 years ago.
This is the time period of Atlantis, which Ron sais had space
opera level technology.  There is no clear desciption in the
tapes that I am familiar with, but apparently there is some
sort of war between Marcab and Espinol.  Eventually it seems
like Marcab has hidden bases on Mars and Espinol is hiding in
the asteroid belt.  Atlantis is distroyed and the cult of the 
snake ends up hiding out in Egypt.  And, since Marcab has to
setup between lives implant equipment here anyway (to keep the cult
from reincarnating back in their empire), they start using this
as a good place to dump all their undesirables.

Besides the empires, there are also invader forces which are
sweeping in from another universe (possibly coming in through
the horsehead nebula and trying to grab territory of their own).

The 4th invader force sends a task force here because it seems
like a nice undefended system to establish a beach head in this
sector.  They don't count on the Marcabian and Espinolish forces
which are hidding from each other in this system and they get
shot at and go to ground on Mars where they also establish 
hidden bases.

In recent (a few thousand years ago) times, the 5th invader
comes here for the same reason.  They go into Earth orbit
and land a battalion in the Himalayas to set up a base.
Then the various other space fleets start shooting at them
and the 5th invader goes to ground on Venus.  The 5th invader
have insect like bodies and enjoy super high tempratures.  But even
they need to keep their domes air conditioned in the extreme
heat of Venus.  Interestingly enough, there is a 1952 auditing
demo tape where Ron asks a PC (who is running some of this
stuff) how hot it is outside of the domes, and he gets an
answer in the thousands of degrees.  It is much hotter than
the normal scientific estimates of that time and closer to
the modern measurements that suprised scientists when we
finally got a probe to Venus.

This leaves us with 4 different mutually hostile groups in the 
solar system, none of them daring to show themselves for fear that
the others will blast their asses off.

According to Ron, some of the suff in the Bible is due to
skirmishes being fought between these groups in Biblical
times.

As for the 5th Invader Force batallion that landed in the
Himalayas, they were wiped out to the last man.  Ron was
the commanding officer.  He sais that when he first woke
up in the between lives area, he really raised some hell
before they managed to subdue him.

Supposedly there are many members of 4th and 5th invader
force units reincarnating here on Earth caught up in the
prison planet machinery along with the "criminals" (usually 
just non-conformists and protesters) of Marcab and (to a lesser
degree) Espinol.

I think that the Marcabians are supposed to be human (fedora
hats etc).  He doesn't describe anything like the current
UFO space aliens, maybe these are supposed to be from Espinol
(which he doesn't say much about).

Note that there is some occasional confusion about which group
is which, especially as this was coming from PC session data
which is often vague.  Early on (before I'd heard so many
tapes) I used to wonder if he was renaming things (Marcab and
Espinol being new names for the 4th and 5th invader, or Espinol
being a new name for Marcab etc.), but he talks often enought
about there being two active empires working in this solar
system, and there is at least one tape (1MACC-30) where he
talks about the 4th & 5th invader and also about Marcab and
also about a Space Command (which might be Espinol's star fleet)
in the asteroid belt.

Note that he mentions that the asteroid belt is the most
important area stategicly because you can launch ships from
asteroid bases without having to climb out of a gravity well.


----------------------------

ANCHIENT HISTORY

The Galactic Confederacy discussed in OT3 is the only small
and relatively recent (only 75 million years ago) empire that
he bothers to give any details about.

Aside from that, he just says that there have been lots of
"recent" empires and that they collapse relatively quickly
because they implant their citizens.

But he does talk about some extrememly large, old, long lasting
civilizations that were big enough and/or around long enough
and were noteworthy enough to show up on many people's cases.

The Galactic Empire was huge and extrememly long lasting.
Supposedly it was a nice place until the very end when they
began implanting their citizens (which is what brought about
their collapse).

Arslycus was an extrememly large city in space which made
slaves of everyone.  When it shattered, everyone "Fell through
the sky".

Helatrobus tried to dominate the galaxy by the use of 
"religious implants".

------------------------------

OTHER THINGS

He mentions that there are at least 3 universes above us,
including "Home Universe".  He mentions "Magic Track".  He
even mentions a "Mud" universe that is below us in the sequence
of universes.  But he doesn't say much about other universes.

He also describes lots of little incidents like the ones in
History of Man and he issued quite a few implant platens.

He also discusses "Cat People", "Snake People" etc.  I'm not
sure if these are anchient or current.  Possibly they represent
the other more distant empires that dump people here occasionally
to get rid of them.  Cat people are humanoid with a cat like
appearance (fur etc.) and you can tell that you have a real
cat people incident because it will contain "Flying Cats"
(this was from one of the 2nd ACC lectures, but I don't remember
which one).

There are also the various ideas about between lives implants, etc.

All in all, its still less than ten percent of the materials
of Scientology.


------------------------------

Note that all of the above is pretty much based on Ron's
opinion (or in one case, Quintins) rather than mine, but might
be slightly colored by my attempts to pull together all of the
various stories into a cohesive whole.

Note that Captain Bill, after he was declared suppressive, also 
issued various whole track and galactic politics type stuff,
both under his own name and as "Elron Elray" aka L. Ron Hubbard,
who he was supposedly channelling.  Some of this stuff can be 
found in the CAPTBILL section of Homer's archives at lightlink.com.  
The possibly bogus OT8 reads like it probably belongs amoung these 
galactic patrol materials.

As far as I know, Ron never mentioned the Galactic Patrol in
any of his tapes or bulletins.  It was pretty much a Captain Bill
exclusive.  However there is a novel of that title in Doc Smith's 
Lensman series.

Of all the things mentioned above, only Marcab is well known
among the membership.  This is because the Auditing Comm Cycles
tape, which is mostly about Marcab and Earth the prision planet,
is part of the Level 0 Academy Training.  There is also some slight
knowlege of the invader force stuff because it is mentioned in
History of Man.  Whereas the OT3 stuff is only known to OTs, and the 
remaining SHSBC tapes (between lives implants, etc.) are generally
only known to Briefing Course students (Miscavige might really
have never heard that tape).

----------------------------

I gave my own slant on some of these things in the large
series of SUPER SCIO postings that I put out earlier this
year.

So now you've got Ron's opinion (above) and my opinion and
you know where to find Captain Bill's opinion if you're interested.
But I wouldn't bet money on any of it.  Its all built on very
vague and tenuous session data from people who usually
have trouble remembering what they had for breakfast last
week.

Ron compared this stuff to having a navigation chart where
there is a big shaded area indicating where the coastline
might be if you're lucky.

Its not quite right to call Scientology a UFO cult.  Its more
of an anti-UFO cult because they think that the UFOs (especially
Marcab and 4th invader) are the bad guys.  And Ron is probably
AWOL from the 5th invader and says that he is on the "most wanted"
lists of the police forces in many different space empires.

Subj : To Martin Hunt and Other Critics (Super Scio)


TO MARTIN HUNT AND OTHER EXTREMIST CRITICS

Yo Martin,

I'm addressing this to you because you played innocent when
"anonymous" accused you of attacking potential allies.

But its also meant for Anti-Clam and a couple of others who
just can't resist chewing up some of the stuff I've been
posting and making lots of nasty remarks.

I do not, by the way, object to those critics who make remarks
like "I think its rubbish but each to his own".  I think that
that's a fair statement of live and let live and I can get along
quite nicely with such people.

I have also found that most of ARS is quite hospitable and
friendly to an honest Scientologist who believes that extensive
reforms are needed within the Church of Scientology.

Please realize that there are 4 groups involved in this
struggle.

They are:

1. The real antis

2. The Freezone 

3. Scientology Reformers

4. Scientology Loyalists


I represent the third group.  I very much want the organization
to clean up its act.  On this basis, we are allies although it
is a bit like the US and Russia joining forces against the Nazis.

I have said and I will continue to say that Scientology tech
is important and workable.  I do not say it out of any intention
or desire to convert you or anyone else on ARS into Scientologists.
That would be a bit foolish considering the current situation.
I say these things for the benifit of the numerous Scientologists
who are lurking on this newsgroup and to maintain my own integrety
while criticising the behaviour of an organization which really
IS my religion.

If you were a Catholic criticizing the Pope, you would have to
say something good about Jesus with every other breath.

I'm not posting endless sweetness and light about Scientology.
I am trying for what I consider to be a sane balance.

When you attack savagely and mindlessly, you play into the hands
of Scientology Management who continually tells the membership
about the crazy evil suppressives who are gonna get them unless
they toe the line and send big bucks to Flag and CCHR.

Of course some of the critics could be OSA plants or even
CIA agents who are having great fun playing both sides against
each other.  In that case they'll want to shoot at me every
chance they get because management has a strong desire to 
shut me up.

The kind of stuff I've been saying drives management crazy.  I'm
sure that they'd much rather have my ass than yours.  An internal
revolution is much more dangerous than an outside enemy.

I know we don't see eye to eye.  That's alright.  I'm an American
and this country was founded on Religious Freedom.

Once the dust clears we can have fun arguing with each other.
But for now I would suggest an armed truce.


Sincerly,

The Pilot

I agree completely.  

In Scientology we have a concept of something called a "Missed
Withhold" which is a situation where somebody misses (nearly finds
out about) something that the preclear is withholding.  This causes
the preclear to worry and wonder whether the other person knows
about them and often causes the preclear's attention to fixate.
This can in turn lead to the preclear becoming critical towards and
attacking the person who missed their withhold.  In other words, they
can become "rabid".

In the early days of the Sea Org, all Sea Org members and all public
and outer org staff who went to the ships for training and OT levels
were continually pretending not to be Scientologists and were
afraid of being found out because of Hubbard's fears that the
world conspiritors were after him.  Here are the various shore
stories and the pretense of being "Operating Transport Ldt".  And
therefore these people continually had their withholds missed
whenever they went ashore or travelled.  And there was just enough
trouble and danger in those sea going days to confirm to the
membership that their fears were real.  And so they became loaded
with these missed withholds.

And there was so little real use of the tech on Sea Org members
and so much agreement between them that everybody else was out
to get them that these things festered and many did indeed become
rabid.

Of course there were other factors at work as well, I'm just
pointing out one of the many things that contributed to the
viscious tone of the Sea Org and trying to show one of the ways
in which people who were originally good, clean, and honest began
to turn into something else.

Its very funny that the very person who taught so extensively
about the missed withhold phenomena should then go and set things
up in such a manner as to ensure that his loyal followers would
experience the maximum number of missed withhold (with the
outside world) per unit of time.  It almost seems like a 
program designed to alienate the Sea Org from society.  But
I must be imagining things, he probably just forgot about the
existance and effect of missed withholds (he only gave about
fifty lectures on the subject in the 1960s).

By the way, although I have observed this action of becoming
critical and hostile due to missed withholds, I believe that
we were gravely mistaken in thinking that this was the only reason
that people became critical.  Just because some houses are built
of wood doesn't mean that all houses are built of wood.  To
think otherwise is a basic flaw in logic and actually represents
the A = A thought (as in Houses = Wood) that Hubbard was
originally trying to cure.

I think that you can have both orthodox and liberal sects.  Both
freezone and strictly standard orgs with useful feedback between
the two.  There might be different stages in somebody's personal
evolution where they need one or the other.  And we might learn
where the standards are critical and where they are simply 
unnecessary arbitraries.

I personally like to discuss tech and think that its part of the
learning experience.  But this gives some people a lot of trouble.
So you need both environments.

It should be obvious that making people afraid to think and making
it dangerous for people to have their own opinions and evaluations
would decrease intelligence.  In fact Ron used to criticise the
school system for this very thing.  During my early training (1966
to 1968) I found the course environment to be conducive to learning
the subject.  Although tech and policy contrary to this had already
started coming out, my supervisors were generally old timers who
were not so ridgid in their approach.  Later I found the course
environment more and more difficult to study in and shifted more
and more to studying on my own, only putting up with the course
environment when I absolutely had to.

Again one has to wonder.  Ron knew so much about the right ways to
encourage intelligence and understanding.  The old timers were
exceptionally bright, fast to think on their feet and deep in
understanding.  The modern training is obviously tailored to 
discourage free thought.  Ron certainly knew enough to design his
courses to create the effect he wanted.  In the early days he
wanted bright thinkers and in the later days he wanted robots.

Unfortunately true.  This is one of the many reasons why I'm 
pushing so heavily for reform.


>The concerns I have lie not with the ordinary individuals, but with the 
>Co$ and the actions which have been brought to light on a.r.s.

Yes indeed.

I am very concerned about the ordinary individuals involved in the
subject.  They are my friends.  They generally became involved for
the same reasons that I did, namely to discover truth and to become
more able.  

In the old days I saw people learning skills and new
ways of thinking which expanded their abilities and awareness.
The more strength and intention these people developed, the
gentler and more helpful they became.  They could be tough and
fearless in a pinch, and yet they had no desire to prove it and
saw no value in the use of force.

Now the Sea Org members learn to be tough.  They scream and yell
at each other all the time.  Its "Make it go right" and "What
does your materials state" and not an ounce of free thought in 
the place.  They think that they've been trained to act like OTs
and actually they have been trained to act like SPs.

If you train somebody to act like a suppressive, he can make
people go PTS to him even if his intentions are not evil.

I want to see the CofS reformed for the sake of all those people
who have seen their dreams betrayed.  The dream was good, I don't
want to see it shattered.  Instead I want to see the broken
promises made good.


Sincerely,

The Pilot


========================


Subj : Super Scio - AE VanVogt and CADA


A. E. VAN VOGT And CADA

Van Vogt was one of the early big names in Dianetics and Scientology.
In 1950 he was one of the top 10 Science Fition authors (overshadowed
only by Heinline, Asimov, and a few others) having already made
his reputation with classics such as "Slan" and "The World of Null A".

Many Scientologists think that his Null A stories are refelctive of
his involvement in Scientology, but they have it backwards.  The
Null A stories (Non Aristotilian Logic or what is called inifnity 
valued logic in Dianetics) are from the 1940s and are based on
Korsibsky's General Semantics.  It was Van Vogt who inspired LRH
to adopt the infinity valued logic which is discribed in DMSMH
(Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health - written in 1950).

His Scientology inspired novel is actually "The Universe Maker" of
1952 where he talks about "OTs" calling them "Shadows" because
they have learned to dissolve their physical bodies into energy at
will.  After that he dedicates himself to Scientology and Dianetics
and abandons science fiction writing until 1960 when he returns
to the field with "The Silkie" (which also includes some Scientology
ideas such as "Havingness" and "exteriorization from the physical
universe").

Because of his later involvement with CADA, some Scientologists
believe that Van Vogt was an early Dianeticist who never accepted
the ideas of Scientology, but this is incorrect, as evidenced
by the fact that Van Vogt was taking Scientology courses as late
as 1954 and by his use of Scientology concepts in various books.

In 1966, when I asked about the break between Ron and Van Vogt, I
was told that Van Vogt believed that man was evolving and disagreed
with Ron's idea that we had decayed from a godlike state, but this
is pure rumor that I have never seen in writing.

CADA is the California Association of Dianetic Auditors.  It was
established in 1951 and is the last surviving Dianetics organization
from the old days.  As such, it was never under Ron's control and
the org thinks of it as a "nest of Squirrels" (it had members
like Jack Horner who was one of the most famous of the early
"Squirrels") but it has never dared to attack them directly because
of CADA's unique legal position.

Van Vogt was, off and on, president of CADA from 1958 until 1982 (I'm
not sure if this is the correct date, see the article mentioned
below).

Van Vogt remained popular with Scientologists.  Despite his break
with Ron and his involvement with CADA, I don't believe that he was
ever declared as a "Suppressive Person" or "Squirrel".  I heard
a rumor that he was even invited over to ASHO and gave a talk
there about the early days of Dianetics at sometime in the 1970s.
This is almost unique in the history of Dianetics and Scientology.

The "rumor line" (covertly spread party line) that I always heard
about him in later days was that he was a good guy who couldn't
accept Ron's later discoveries.  He was branded with the usual
tar brush that the org applied to all old Dianeticists who were
not in Scientology which was that they were "a bunch of old ladies
who didn't want to confront overts or past lives and therefore
ignored Ron's later discoveries and kept fooling around with
prenatal incidents".  This was actually untrue and was nothing
more than "dead agenting" to keep Scientolgists from getting
interested in CADA.  It is quite obviously a strong freezone
association that has kept up with the times.

There is an article entitled "The Short History of the CADA" by
AE Van Vogt which originally appeared in CADA's Dianetic Journal
Notes Vol 17 number 2 of 1982 and was reprinted in Vol 34 number
2 of 1984 (I only have the reprint, either the original volume number
or the original date might be wrong because of the large jump from
volume 17 to 34).

Here is an excerpt from that article which might be of use:

"... elected officials of the CADA had suggested to Ron that the
Foundation auditor's certificate have on it the words 'Certified
Dianetic Auditor'.  Ron refused.  The Foundation certificate was
finally sent to graduates of all classes in Los Angeles with the
words: 'Hubbard Dianetic Auditor'.

"It is fairly clear now, in view of a number of subsequent actions
taken by Ron and his various local aides, that at this stage he had
not taken the time to think through the implications of these various
pre-emptive actions.

"Example one: There were eventually at least a thousand auditors who
were given the certificates with Hubbard's name as part of the
certification - and nothing in the certificate required that they
must later obtain a franchise from Ron to audit - and pay him a
percentage of their earnings for the use of the word dianetics and/or
the word 'Hubbard'.

"Example two: Ron's insistence that the certificate designation be
Hubbard Dianetic Auditor was obviously an attempt to keep his name
forever commected to the auditing situation, but showed no awareness
that he would later object to anyone using his name unless they also
paid him a percentage of their earnings.

"Insofar as the CADA is concerned, I attended a few early meetings. 
But I was not a member during the first few years and so had very
little awareness of the fight that was going on - of the consequence
of LRH's determination that, even though they had certificates as
auditors, other persons had no rights if what they did seemed in his
judgment to conflict with what he wanted to do.

"All this time, on the technique and theory level, the system was
growing.  And it was evident that as a researcher LRH continued to be
one of the major geniuses of our period of history.

"In Los Angeles, at the end of 1951, I opened the Hubbard Dianetic
Center in a large eleven room house, and began auditing and
lecturing.  And when the Hubbard Dianetic Foundation's Don Purcell
suggested (from Witchita) that it would be to everyone's benefit if I
paid the 10 percent tithe, it was also innocuously worded, that I
wrote him 10 percent was too high for the benefits promised.  So I
sent 5 percent but I signed no agreements."

I hope that CADA wouldn't object to my presenting such a long
excerpt, but I didn't want to leave out pieces and only present 
scraps.  The entire article is well worth reading and I suspect
that CADA also has many other things in their archives which
might be of general interest.  Perhaps they can be encouraged to
post.

----------------

HEINLEIN AND NORDENHOLZ (speculation)

As long as we're on the subject of sci fi authors, there was an
interesting old rumor around in the 1960s about Bob Heinlein having
been Ron's roommate at college.  Ron might have said this, but if
so, I don't remember the reference.  Or maybe it was just another
of those wild rumors that people would start (one upper level
student at a crowded lunch table announced that he was sure that
Ron was a reincarnation of Mary Baker Eddie, I'm sure that Ron
would have rolled over in his grave at that one).

Based on things in his stories, Heinlein must have studied metaphysics 
at one time.   Among other things, he talks about Gurdieff and
Ouspennsky in "Assignment in Eturnity".  There is a story in
this book where some college professors develope OT abilities
by studying this stuff and then the world conspiracy attacks
them to shut them up.

Being exceptionally bright and into metaphysics, it would not
be surprising to find out that Heinlein was literate in German
and was familiar with Nordenholz's Scientologie book.

Even if Heinlein (who was also a Navy man) did not room with Ron 
at Geo. Wash. U., they certainly had a professional relationship
by 1940 since they were both part of Campbell's stable of writers
at that time.

Although this is all speculation, I consider it to be a likely
chain of events which might connect LRH and Nordenholz's 
Scientologie axioms.

IN REPLY TO "THE PILOT HIDING IN THE 4TH DIMENSION"


The following was sent to me by the Loyalist Officers who are
hiding in the 4th dimension.  They asked me to post it for
Koos' benifit.  I take no responsibility for the contents.

For those who are unfamiliar with Koos, he is famous for his
telepathic sec checks that he performs on various people such
as L. Ron Hubbard, David Miscavige, and Diana Ross.  He posts
the results of these sec checks (and invoices billing for this
service) to the internet.

We see that Koos is upset.  He objects to The Pilot being anonymous
and hiding in the 4th dimension.  He ignores the fact that the
Pilot must hide or else the Marcabian agents who are currently
running the CofS into the ground will capture him and toss him
into the nearest volcano.

Now we use our OT powers and our 4th dimensional super vision to 
determine the real cause of the Koosical upset.

It is that Koos was planning to covertly sec check The Pilot
telepathically and bill him LOTS OF MONEY for the auditing.
But Koos cannot find the Pilot in the 4th dimension, therefore
he rages.

But if you told a man, "we have already advised your wife of
your unfaithfullness, now pay us money for this favor", there
would be little likelyhood of ever receiveing payment.  From
this we conclude that the Pilot would not pay.

So why does Koos continue if nobody ever pays?

It is TO GET THE STATS UP.  The auditing is Koos' hat and
his stats are always up.  It is for others, such as Freya,
to collect the payments.  If their stats are down, it is they
who will go into LIABILITY and have to CLEAN THE TOILETS, not Koos.

But we truely appreciate the humor of the very fine joke that
The Koos has played on The CofS.  The CofS forces its members
to pay high prices for unnecessary and undesired sec checks and
then uses the withholds revealed to the PC's detriment.  Koos
turns the tables on them and performs the same kindly service
and sends them the bill.  This is indeed priceless.

Therefore we will do The Koos a favor and tell him that he is
measuring the wrong statistic.

THE CORRECT STATISTIC IS: THE NUMBER OF TRUE OBSERVATIONS OF
THE REAL WORLD COMMUNICATED TO OTHERS IN A COMPREHENSIBLE MANNER.

We wish you luck with this new statistic.


Best Wishes,

The Loyalist Officers Hiding In The 4th Dimension.

From "Secret Teachings of the Loyalist Officers":

"If you should be so blessed as to aquire a fragment of the
True Underwear of the Beloved Hubbard, then let ye soak this
in vinegar for the space of a night.  Then in the morning
doth ye consume it and quafe it down with a tumber of the
finest Scotch Whiskey, saying in HIS Name 'rude Rudy rode the 
ruddy rods'.  With this ye shall be purged of all body thetans
and furthermore protected against all telepathic sec checking
forever. 

"But Beware.  If thou should'st mispronounce one word of the sacred
process or make a bad face upon experiencing the Holy Taste,
then ye shall be sentenced to the RPFer's RPFer's Toilet Bowl
and dwell therein for the space of a billion years".
