1000 Basics Completions... 10 years later and they still don't have 1,000 people done on the Basics? There are more than 1,000 staff in LA?? And NOW she is equipped for eternity? Guess those OT levels were sort of a waste of money if you can get this from reading books. Don't miss the mega announcement Don't spill the beans -- it's all about getting your money. We have an army fighting the battle Sounds inspiring, until you realize the "army" is 5 people and the battle is against every reactive mind on earth. Wow, 13 people started a … [Read more...]
More Words of Wisdom from Ron
Here is another astonishing statement from L. Ron. It's accepted as true by the bubble-dwellers, but in fact, it is evident that studying scientology in fact makes you dumber. The more you study, the less you believe you need to think for yourself and the more you are convinced that all you need do to have the answers to every question in life -- from why am I crazy to how do I wash windows properly -- is to "do what Ron says." That does NOT make a more intelligent person. You can bet there was no "actual testing" at all. But Ron said it, so it must be true. This is taken … [Read more...]
“Planetary Dissemination”?
Apparently this is what passes for "dissemination" these days. You know, if Planetary Clearing was really a thing, you would think they would spend some of their money to open some missions and orgs in India. Scientology is not banned there like it is in China. It's a MASSIVE population and there has never been a single org in the entire country. Instead, they ask people for money to buy books to hand to "opinion leaders" and call this "planetary Dissemination at the correct order of magnitude." And just as a note, the crazy stats about India you include only prove your complete … [Read more...]
Scientology, Confront, and Fear
Our old friend, Terra Cognita has returned with another thought provoking essay. Scientology, Confront, and Fear One of the more celebrated concepts in Scientology has to do with “confront.” From Training Routine 0 on the beginning Communications Course, to ferreting out demons on the OT Levels, the ability to confront is paramount in achieving spiritual freedom. A Scientologist is nothing without excellent confront. The old Scientology tech dictionary lists four definitions for the word. 1. An action of being able to face. 2. The ability to be there comfortably and perceive. 3. Confront i … [Read more...]
OT VIII Damned With Faint Praise
This is supposedly a rousing success story from a new OT VIII completion. They published this as something to be proud of. Explaining the massive wins available from the pinnacle of The Bridge. And this is all “E.T.” could come up with — it was remarkable (apparently not as not much in the way of remarks) and gave “more attention for the present” (not even “I’m in PT” which is the supposed result of Objectives) and “felt” the ability to “know and understand” was increased and and enlarged. And a raise in Reality and Affinity can, according to LRH, be increased by talking to someone. Just ta … [Read more...]
Humanitarian Organization?
Scientology touts itself as a champion of Human Rights. They claim this all over their websites, throughout their CSN TV shows and at the Miscavige propaganda events. In fact, they are so enamored with the concept that they call their most sacred members -- the ones that give the most money -- "humanitarians." L. Ron Hubbard laid out his thoughts on this in a POLICY LETTER OF 3 FEBRUARY 1969 entitled PUBLIC IMAGE: For a long while we have not had an exactly stated policy on building a public image. ... But the time has come to also build a public image as an outflow publicity action. … [Read more...]
Tampa Bay Charity Coalition
Another front group trying to gain acceptance, the “Tampa Bay Charity Coalition" -- somehow they leave out the word scientology from their title. Their Facebook page features one of their events in the Ft Harrison ballroom -- though it looks like they photoshopped the "Flag" logo on the backdrop so it's not readable. This "Film Festival" is a thinly disguised excuse to show their "human rights" infomercials. You can see there is massive interest in this event... You have to wonder what an "Official Selection" means? No doubt they “selected” the infomercials produc … [Read more...]
Ebony Awakening
This should be fun. Alfraudie is being brought in from his IAS world Regging Tour -- hanging with his NOI buddies and only $500 a head? How exciting could a weekend be. Hard to top this. But don't forget to bring ALL your checkbooks and credit cards. There are a LOT of regges at Flag in addition to Alfraudie. Here is the full line up. The only scientologists they could get were 3 white businessmen. Two NOI people -- one doing Group Processing (that's NOT Dianetics...) and then a non-scientology Minister from LA who is involved in CCHR. I guess scientology … [Read more...]
Exchange…or Scientology: Must Be Contributed To
Terra Cognita is back with another thought provoker... Exchange...or Scientology: Must Be Contributed To L. Ron Hubbard wrote that there were four types of exchange. The lowest and most undesirable of these was criminal exchange in which people take without giving anything in return. A classic example is the thief. The second type is partial exchange, where you order the world's strongest widget and it breaks the first time you try to use it. The third form is equal exchange. I give you a loaf of bread; you give me three dollars. I work at Jabberworks Computers; they pay me a monthly … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard Hagiography
Though there has been an "official L. Ron Hubbard biographer" since I first hired him in 1991, there is still no L. Ron Hubbard biography. "LRH biographer" or more often now "The Biographer", Dan Sherman spends his days penning prolix fluffery for David Miscavige to read from a teleprompter at his "international events" and Ideal Org ribbon yankings. Over the span of 25 years, the silver mullet and his team of biographical "researchers", headed by Andy Lenarcic, have gathered an enormous amount of information, photographs and artifacts about the life of L. Ron Hubbard. They have … [Read more...]
