So is this your way of spamming Mike’s blog? Posting a link advertising your ringtone site with a sort of semi-relevant comment on a two month old article. I can’t believe Mike fell for it. He must be busy battling real enemies. Score one for a spammer.

I’d offer that the dissonance doesn’t act like flypaper; it’s the personal computations we made to make the dissonance “disappear”, figuring out how the hell those words could make any sense in the real world. Tubby’s inability to ever edit or review his writings gave us plenty of practice figuring out alternate wordings that MIGHT make sense. In that, it’s a lot like reading some “Interwebz”correspondents comments; giving them the benefit of the doubt that they DID have something sane to say.

Maybe I’m too ‘giving’, assuming that there’s a world where their ravings might make sense.

Robert King, might I suggest you compose your comments off-line, review them several hours later, then copy-and-paste into a comment form when you’re SURE it makes sense to readers other than yourself. Your pot of 25 August, 9:28 PM read like the stream-of-consciousness of a loon. I’m sure that’s NOT what you intended.

Richard, “cognitive dissonance” is but 1% of the subjects we could study to properly understand the mindfcuk of scientology. Mockingbird’s blog’s discussion of hypnotism, including Tubby’s direct references to it in a few texts & lectures, was a nice summary of THAT few percent of his techniques — part of the core of his REAL ‘tech’, the techniques that subtly drew us in and hid what was happening to us at the time. After ‘only’ 10 years “in, and 39 years “out”, those have been hard to counter; I’m still incomplete in the task of throwing the garbage parts of his assertions into the trash. I’ve got Mockingbird’s site on my favorites bar so I can review more of those thoughtful & thought-provoking articles.

OOps!: YUBBY should of course be TUBBY. Fingers fumble faster than the speed of thought.

” spaceships looking like old DC-8s—and oh yeah…dropped into volcanoes.”

Yeah, volcanoes that did NOT exist at that time or in those places.
