Dear Nostradamus, could you please give me the link or send me the scan where LRH said that. I will appreciate that very much! Tylevichd@gmail.com

Thank you RB! LIfe is precious, and so are you. 🙂

Seems like he’s closer to the rear end of eternity.

Yeah, I remember that about “collapsing terminals” ; it is just a wrong interpretation from LRH, though. Actually, w/out the human attribute of “collapsing” with others , our humanity would be lost. Nothing wrong with collapting if we can come out of it ; we usually do, collapsing is a temporary affair most of the time. A needed event to understand misery and suffering.

I believe Hubbard made a distinction between empathy and sympathy. Sympathy was bad and thus was “low tone” because if you felt sympathy, you were “collapsing terminals.” Under Hubbardian theory, collapsing terminals meant you were not holding your position, and if you cannot hold your position, you surrender power, and with no power, you cannot help anyone. Hence, sympathy is multo male.

I’m thinking the closest Hubbard got to empathy was perhaps with the ARC triangle (affinity, reality, communication –> understanding) where in high ARC I suppose you would have empathy as an offshoot.

I rather like to think Hubbard would come back as either Howdy Doody or Pinocchio. Of course he might need a hall pass to get out of the inner circles of hell to come back at all.

And…common folk are good folk.

I believe, at some point, you’re on the cans until you cog that YOU ARE A SCIENTOLOGIST. And, ONLY a scientologist. Otherwise you’d be “mixing practices.” And that is Verboten!

I don’t have the HCOPL OR HCOO.

Maybe we should forward this to Dave Colbert for when he goes back to stand up.

Putting the sheeple to sleepl. I like that.
