Brian Lambert sent in another of his thought-provoking pieces about the writings of L. Ron Hubbard. Enjoy. SCIENTOLOGY “KNOWINGNESS”: LONG LIVE THE TOOTH FAIRY AND HER FRIEND THE TEDDY BEAR!! I want to preface this essay with the thought that not everything in Scientology is delusional. Nothing can always be absolutely one way or another in a relative universe. Seeking to communicate when there is an upset, seeking the root cause of a problem in one’s mind, listening to people when they are having issues, looking up words in a dictionary, being a good student and occasionally … [Read more...]
The Doctrine of the SP
Another thought-provoking essay from our old friend Brian Lambert THE DOCTRINE OF THE SP: A MAJOR MILESTONE ON THE WAY TO MENTAL DERANGEMENT AND DESTROYED RELATIONSHIPS It seems every time I write an essay I think “wow, this one is a big deal.” My sentiment speaks to the many mind distorting doctrines that have had devastating effects on all of us. Each deranged doctrine is singularly significant in the deprogramming process. I am not affected by scientology any more I know an ex-Scientologist who feels there are no left over subconscious effects in their minds. … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard Redefines Ethics
Another thought-provoking essay from Brian Lambert. INTRODUCTION TO SCIENTOLOGY ETHICS: L. RON HUBBARD’S ROAD TO SUICIDE “We are not moralists” “I am not interested in wog morality” L. Ron Hubbard (Remember these quotes when reading the dictionary definitions of ethics below) It’s possible, through this essay, that dictionaries may be considered, by the Scientologist, a suppressive source of anti-religious bigotry. These definitions prove that Hubbard altered the meaning of the word ethics. Hubbard changed the “meaning and melodies” of the word ethics, and by so doing he distorted … [Read more...]
Body Death
From our friend Brian Lambert, another in his series of essays about the Tone Scale. These affirmations are the true representation of L Ron Hubbard. These affirmations are who he was - hidden behind the hypno-manipulation of his marketed messiahship. Wrapping up my analysis of the Tone Scale I cannot get past the thought that L. Ron Hubbard’s tone scale is his delivery system for manipulating “meanings and melodies” of words. He states it in the affirmations as a goal. And what is the tone scale in essence? It’s all simple words given a value, by numbers, which alter their “melodies” … [Read more...]
Accountable
Another in the series of essays about the Tone Scale from our old friend Brian Lambert. “Your authority over words is absolute. You are grandmaster of words and can do with them as you will. You know what they mean to others. You know how their meanings and melodies affect others” “You use the minds of men” - from L Ron Hubbard’s Affirmations. Making an affirmation is an unquestionable revealing of personal values. It’s a statement of affirming to attain a desired state or increase it. Please keep these affirmations in mind when reading this article or my other essays on the … [Read more...]
Grief
Another essay from our old friend Brian Lambert about the writings of L. Ron Hubbard. “You are grandmaster of words and can do with them as you will. You know what they mean to others. You know how their meanings and melodies affect others” - from L Ron Hubbard’s Affirmations. Grief In my past experience with studying Scientology, I noticed some sane human traits being definitionally degraded by some of Ron’s doctrines. And as these redefinitions became part of my personality, I found one of the casualties to be.................grief. It’s hard enough sometimes for us … [Read more...]
Thoughts on the Tone Scale
Frequent commenter Brian Thomas Lambert put together some thoughts about the Tone Scale and forwarded them to me. I asked him to write an introduction to himself: I’ve been blogging for a few years now. I started Scientology in 1971. The Incredible Stringband, an all Scientology music group, influenced my joining as I was a fan. I ended up marrying one of the ladies in the group named Likky. How the church treated her with callous abuse while she was going crazy on OT3x was instrumental in my leaving in 82. I was a Sea Org member at FOLOEUS, started at the Geltman mission in NYC with Chick … [Read more...]
