					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/more-scientology-crazy-on-amazon/#comment-496820&quot;&gt;Geoff Levin&lt;/a&gt;.

Geoff - I agree. These steady antics are “off” from one or more LRH policy(ies). Surely the C of S team is doing Mike&#039;s book and his global brand a great service right now. 

For fellow Former-Ins, do you recall the LRH policy around &quot;Do not respond to an entheta comm,” for you only succeed in making it larger? The rationale from Ron himself is that &quot;entheta communication lines&quot; [as Scientology deems such] do not—on their own—have much power. If Scientology takes that source seriously and responds, Scientologists are then adding their own energy, which according to Ron is very powerful. The entheta source, as a result, becomes much bigger than it would be on its own.

The example Ron gives is Founding Church staff fueling an entheta comm arriving from a U.S. federal agency (like Food and Drug Administration) to them in Washington DC. By taking up the “entheta” (responding to it), as Ron explains, the staff rendered larger this entheta. Had they done nothing, LRH posits, the attacker slunks away in defeat.  This might be the same policy letter where Ron introduces org policy around not accepting any “certified letters” arriving, that such is a clear signal someone is trying to lob entheta at the org or a staff member.

Of course, it is an egotistical view, as Hubbard is known for. He provides the idea that, on their own, an operation such as the FDA has no power. It is only when Scientologists unwittingly add their own POWER that an agency such as the FDA has any useful degree of force.

All these years, according to this wisdom laid out in an official policy letter by Hubbard, C of S should have directed zero energy toward Marty Rathbun, Karen de la Carriere, Tampa Bay Times, Mike, Ron Miscavige Sr., Leah, etc.  I mean, that is ONE valid policy interpretation. 

I consider this directive to not fuel an entheta comm line an example of a Hubbard technique that often is workable. Didn&#039;t your mom or dad tell you to not engage with a bully as that only incentivizes them to keep after you? I find this to be true: in many situations, the choice to not engage works beautifully and, just as Ron describes, that source slunks away, having seen you are not a target.

Back to the matter at hand: If C of S was not so functionally bi-polar, they would stick to their knitting. Stick to doing their purported useful deeds of helping individuals improve mental health, increasing IQs and sanity, bringing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights into awareness and full operation around the world, etc. Do this, instead of investing in &quot;adding their own energy&quot; to each thing they perceive as an “attack” coming at them.

The Greek tragedy continues to play out: C of S in Self-Destruct mode. 

And Mike moves steadily forward in Triumph Mode. Mike will continue to do this with or without any C of S responses, wacky social media posts, bizarre rush-to-the-press counter-attack trashy booklets, etc.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ain&#039;t &quot;Group Think&quot; wonderful?

The pressure is on to come up with a good idea.  
No one has any.
The pressure is getting ratchetted up.
&quot;Clutching at straws&quot; ideas can now be offered.
No one has any.
The pressure is like being at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
Finally someone offers a wisenheimer (smart alec) idea.
Everyone gets a little chuckle, but wait . . .
HUZZAH!!!
We have an idea.
That&#039;s what we&#039;ll do.
The pressure is off and all of our problems are solved.
After repeating the idea back and forth a while, they&#039;ve convinced themselves this is the greatest idea anyone has ever had. (Echo, echo, echo)
Now let&#039;s implement this grand slam of an idea.
A lot of time, energy and money is expended.
Anticipation of great results, endless praise and honor grows.
THE BIG REVEAL


Why are people mocking our idea and calling us stupid?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My favorite part of the Preview for the &quot;Analysis and Study guide&quot; (which is supposedly only 17 pages long on a Kindle), is this:

***
Nonetheless, Rinder couldn&#039;t shake the pestering inclination that something wasn&#039;t exactly correct -- Hubbard&#039;s responsibilities stayed unfulfilled after his demise, and his substitution, David Miscavige, was a wanton and malignant man who condemned many top Scientologists, including Mike, to a temporary prison known as the Hole.
***

That is some ridiculously flowery language, but it does not sound like a Scientologist wrote it.  Too venomous toward Davey.  Is it an Indie joke?  Is that actually existing text somewhere else being stolen for this?

EDIT TO ADD: Looks like the Quick Review&#039;s preview contains the same text.  They be lazy.]]></description>
