Thanks for that, Graduated. I sent it on to my friend, the recent Ron basher.

Thank you, Hallie, and those who have acknowledged my comment. I think the real assholes are not the trolls or never-ins with hidden agendas, but those veterans who stand on LRH’s shoulders with muddy boots and rationalize doing so at length.

I’ve had a million cool wins in auditing and a couple million more auditing others. My wins are mine and my business. If I choose to do more auditing, because I want to gain more peace and understanding of myself, that’s my business also. I know Catholics who pray, confess, Hindus who chant, Buddhists who meditate etc. and I don’t think it’s my place or right, to question the merits of the spiritual path they’ve chosen. It’s their business. I hope their path is right for them and that they are achieving what they’ve hoped. I would ask those with no skin in the game, “what tenets do you live by and why do you care?”. For those badly burnt by the malpractice of scn, I wish you recovery and peace.

+1 Totally suppressive. A complete unmock of what LRH created.

Brilliant Graduated, well articulated. I find it odd when people say they spent 30, 20 or whatever years in and now they say it’s all shit and they’re disavowed completely. I understand betrayal very well, and I understand the lying that’s occurred. But I want to say is have faith. Have faith in yourselves, in your theta goals that you had for participating in Scn, have faith in your own mind and ability to discern, and in every good thing that you did or tried to do! Religious manipulation and betrayal is not new and probably will occur again. Your life has always had value and power, still does and still will. Don’t give it away to assholes.

Graduated: Awesome.

Genius often sees things in the future that others do not. This makes them look weird and somewhat dodgy. In truth, they’re just trailblazing. Their “night vision” enables them to see composites — things joined together into whole concept, that many others just see as random thoughts. Yup – he could see for miles and miles. 🙂

+1 Now that’s saying, what I’ve been feeling :o)

I had a friend like your DR. His name was Bill. He was a gentle soul, with a sharp wit, an unbending belief in the tech, and an uncanny ability to see through bullshit. He taught me how to be a good person ‘within the Tech.’ He couldn’t or didn’t materialize $50 bills at will. He didn’t levitate like a deity shrouded in mist. He went to work every day as an engineer. Then he showed up every night as staff during Foundation hours. He ate his same cheeseburger at the same restaurant, every day for over a decade. He was a simple man, who just loved the technology — he played with it. He didn’t die, a ‘Great Man.’ He wasn’t rich or celebrated – at least not beyond the few that knew him. But I loved him as a friend and mentor. Bill was what Scientology was all about. An understated, but heartfelt belief in helping others.

I understand your story Gatchild

+1 So true, Mr. Bell…
