Jon is alive and well, he has written a number of articles for Tony Ortega. You can see them here:

I am waiting for my copy to arrive too. I am getting impatient! I keep reading it is a good read.

I can recommend Jon MacLean’s talk from the Toronto Getting Clear conference. Sec-checking traitors in Marocco (I think it was) – whee!

Thanks Mike

And I learned a few new Aussie words. Bravo Mr. Cannane bravo.

I think the love of the sea/adventure idea has been put out in some promotional video or possibly the ‘Ron’ series of magazines – there was one called ‘Master Mariner’ which I seem to recall promoted this idea. As to criminal actions I have no idea, though I expect that a few rumours take on a life of their own and suddenly scientology were seen as an enemy of the state in one or two places, which goes to show how effective their PR tech is.

Deserve “our” pity

Just look at the fruits and do not pay attention to the words of fallacious scientism that trained Scientologists parrot from their heads stuffed with Ron’s imagination.

Can a person learn about the basics of spiritual realities from Ron’s fallacious scientism? Absolutely!

But the are the cheese. And once that tasty cheese has been digested, you are ready for the madness of the OT levels.

And there is where the trained Scientologist divorces him or herself from reality. Now, Ron’s wish for suicide BT electroshock becomes a brave messiahs last effort to save this sector of the universe.

They deserve of pity.

And his auditing everyday slammed him into his subconscious mind filled with the imaginings of

1) psyches are from Farsec
2) Ron’s trip to heaven
3) spooky alien electric mind demons
4) the Van Allen Belt’s temperature
5) volcanoes in Hawaii that don’t exist
6) please Sarge, could you go find that BT hanging around my ranch
7) oh you did’ find him Sarge, he must be in another area.
8) I, Ron, am Lucifer
9) I, Ron, am the Prince of Darkness (says he as he giggles on some tape)
10) I, Ron, am the person Buddha predicted
11) I, Ron, am a nuclear scientists and Doctor who discovered how to kick radiation in the nuts

What brought Ron to his infamous demise is not that he was a jolly old sick man who sacrificed his body health at the alter of OT research.

What brought Ron to the state of having Visteral injected into his butt, long hair and finger nails with a face full of rotten teeth can be summed up simply.

Ron was an immoral human being who bowed to no common standard of decency.

“We are not moralists” L Ron Hubbard
“I am not interested in wog morality” L Ron Hubbard

Because he was immoral, he was ignorant of or in conscious denial of the laws of life which bring an intelligent person in alignment with karmic consequences.

If I do this or that, then this or that happens to me.

But immoral egotists deny the awareness of consequences because they want what they want without the inconvenience of our innate sense of conscience.

To L R H conscience was a theedy weedy Jesus value from tiny iddy biddy thetans.

That is why L R H could toss out his wife as all used up and bad for his PR.

That is why he could write Bolivar, knowing full well he was instructing his disciples to violence against his critics.

Next in Ron’s causative creation that manifested his end of life infamy:

AUDITING

In Scientology, the basics are the ruds. You can’t get auditing without your ruds in.

In every spiritual practice I have studies, their ruds are not ARCxs etc, the ruds are moral living. The dos and don’ts of life. If you don’t have these in, which are simply an attuning ones self to laws of universal order, you have no chance of finding truth if you cannot align your actions to truth.

Ron was a liar, a fabulist, greedy, hungry for cash, caused pain and suffering with families and an egotist.

So there you have an individual who did not align his life to truthful Dharmic living using a mechanical device to tell him what his thoughts were.

L Ron Hubbard’s insanity at the end of his life was not the result of his courageous battle with the SP demons of the whole track.

L Ron Hubbard’s insanity at the end of his life to have Sarge go searching for BTs on his ranch was self induced.

What you see as the end of his life was caused by following blips on the meter into the dark realms of the subconscious mind and labeling these imaginings as reality.

The processes that Ron created, were the very means by which he collapsed his space into the nightmares of his Sci Fi delusions.

To simplify. L Ron Hubbard’s infamous end of life issues were created by

1) an immoral life, acknowledging no higher standard of decency; Dharma

2) introverted into the subconscious regions of his mind and labeling imagination as truth and fact. Very similar if not exactly the very definition of delusional paranoia. Constantly running BTs brought Ron to disassociate himself from reality and wish for body death.
