I love how horribly lo-fi the first it and how it was obviously done in MS Paint with images that are too small a resolution but have been dragged out to fit the page as a background. It looks like the top half of it has been saved and reformatted as a different image type (probably from a bitmap to a jpeg) which has fudged the &#039;WEATHERING THE STORM&#039; text and its glow slightly, then the bad cut/paste at the bottom left and the text in red at the bottom was added last. The lesson here is always save as a png or bitmap until you&#039;re done otherwise it comes out looking like ass.]]></description>

That makes sense to me. When Farrakhan started promoting Dianetics in 2010 he presented it as a scientific or psychology type discovery by Hubbard which would benefit his flock. Current spokespersons promoting mixing scn with NOI may end off on the lower level aspects of the scn Bridge, possibly up to and including Clear, while disregarding the OT cosmology.

As a lower income demographic, few NOI would be able to afford the entire scn bridge. IIRC on an earlier post you made there was a picture of a Clear bracelet with the number 79,000+ imprinted on the back which is supposedly the total number of official Clear Certificates issued over the years. Also from memory the NOI keep their own record of scn Clears and a year or so ago the number was 19.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Over a year ago before the pandemic hit Sister Niyyirah had a Repair of the Black family event on a Saturday afternoon in a nearby town. I drove over to see what was happening. The NOI has a small office in a strip mall and from what I could tell only five or six people were attending so I guess it was a flop. The Survival advertising may be a new approach to stir up interest and replace the Repair of the Black Family events which may have run out of gas.

Sister Nayyirah is an energetic person who does events all around the country and also does one on one Life Coaching. Maybe she could recruit Brother Rizza Islam to headline with her which would draw some interest from the younger crowd but he&#039;s probably too busy doing other things to spend any time on promoting the NOI and/or Scientology.]]></description>

I think maybe that&#039;s what you get when you mash a persons happy future dreams with the prospect endless misery of fundraisers and SecChecks or endless busy work. But ya, the happy part becomes an act eventually, it certainly felt like that for me after a while since you constantly go against your better judgment of knowing something is wrong.

If you looked at if from a tone scale side only then all I think I did was compartmentalize the thoughts into whatever tone they fell into, I did it automatically like Dianetics says you do because it&#039;s your reactive mind and its your mock-up and it&#039;s all automatic. All your misery is on one end and the happy stuff is on the other, and you are trying to break apart mental energy that shouldn&#039;t perhaps be split like that so you get sick or confused, then you go earlier and now you have a chain which makes you sick or confused. You self Audit, which is basically just you thinking and get paranoid about that because only an Self-Auditing is a no-no and now its all one big F&#039;n chain of engrams and overts, which by the way you have just installed in yourself as an implant... You now have something to audit out at OT8, congrats, now how only to uninstall it to go Theta Clear...  LOL. That damn carrot is so big that you don&#039;t even see the stick has turned into a bat.


Throw in some long hours, bad food, financial pressure, or not being able to say anything about what is happening and your brain comes out your nose or you feel like your head is gonna explode. And this abuse is how we retain the data, that&#039;s pain hypnosis. 

I think what I stuffed into Tone 40  was real to some degree, it kind of had to be to go that far even if it was a lie. I wouldn&#039;t kept holding on so long if the motivation wasn&#039;t real and so the happiness is real, but so is the misery. If that makes any sense.]]></description>

I think you would be hard-pressed to find a real psychologist who will agree that religion is &quot;just a stopgap.&quot; A stopgap has to bridge one to another; what are you bridging, exactly?

Religion is inevitable in humans -- whether it&#039;s a deific religion (meaning has a God figure) or another kind, such as humanism.  Fundamentally, as human beings we HAVE to have a way of coping with what we don&#039;t know, such as, well, life and everything in it including death. If someone wants to attribute a perceived miracle to a god, why do YOU have a problem with that as long as they don&#039;t expect you to do the same? And what makes you so certain that the isn&#039;t a god?  Can you really be that arrogant as to think you know everything?

This cultural trend we are currently experiencing, that you are participating in by attempting to reduce the single biggest foundation of human existence to merely an interim step in some undefinable progression, is to denigrate traditional religions as outdated and obsolete. The problem is that it has to be replaced by something, some cause, some philosophy, some sort of &quot;soyburger,&quot; It&#039;s niether healthy nor satisfying, and one has to choke down far more of it that otherwise would be needed to satisfy the need.

This anti-religion is in itself a religion, and it&#039;s far more insidious than even than the Crusades butchering millions of Muslims, Mary I burning protestants for not being Catholic, and Joshua pulling Jericho down.  Just as most Christians believe that sinning brings about punishment from God, &quot;No religion&quot; is on its own militant crusade to remove all religious overtones from all aspects of life. These woke crusaders are not satisfied with having their religion and letting everyone believe according to their own conscience. They will demand that everyone believe the way they do, and enforce this using the law and, when the law fails them, social and physical violence, as is evidenced by the wrath of the LGBQ community against wedding vendors who feel it violates their religious beliefs to participate in a gay wedding, and have their livelihoods and businesses destroyed -- when the couple can easily find someone who WILL take their money instead. 

The heretics who are being stoned these days are those who believe.]]></description>
