My ten minute thought experiment seemed like it was heading in one or the other of two directions, exteriorization or dissociation.

from Webster’s New World College Dictionary:

dissociation – 3 a) (psychology) a split in the conscious process in which a group of mental activities breaks away from the main stream of consciousness and functions as a separate unit, as if belonging to another person – b) the abnormal separation of related ideas, thoughts, or emotion

oops – maybe later – laughter

Great idea for Dave.

A few weeks ago someone posted “Captain Bill Robertson’s OT levels”. DM could repackage them and sell them as Hubbard’s “newly discovered work”.

Richard: “I think the Buddha said something like ‘Just stick with the breathing.'”

I thought it was more like “Shut up and meditate.”

(I’m kidding George. 🙂 )

ROFL

You two wouldn’t have done very well at the school I went to.

Can vouch that two 8s that did that bs in the late 90s are really not doing well at all. Both have developing dementia, one is worse than the other and they put a great strain on the family close to them. They have to continue working as they are financially destitute. My daughter-in-law now runs the business and looks after their interests from behind the scenes but they are ungrateful and continually try to correct her with a very wacky version of “the tech.” What a horrible scene! I’m glad now they disconnected from me as it’s all going to get very messy, very soon. It’s their know all arrogance I detest the most, they truly bite the hand that feeds them now. I’m not saying Scientology caused their dementia, they are old, but what good is Scientology if you can’t remember you did it?

Ammo – Thanks for the scn dictionary reference. I never thought of it before, but in some small sense I’m bilingual, English plus Sciospeak. I’ll “take a win” on that.

In fairness I think it should be noted that even though reworded from King’s English, there are many accurate descriptions of human behavior and mental phenomena. Auditors would be familiar with many concepts in traditional psychology.

I slipped!

Whew!
