You’re a little slow to respond here my friend.

And perhaps you should check for MU’s right at the top of the article. This was not written by me, but by our old friend Terra Cognita.

Mike, I’ve recently watched your series with Leah. But now to read that you regularly went past misunderstanding words, gosh I just lost so much respect. Lol not that that matters to you. I am curious though, was there actually physical violence used against you? I think that is wrong regardless of whether you cleared your words or not. But frankly I’m glad you’re no longer in management after reading that confession of blatant misunderstanding. Have a good day, god bless, namaste. – past BSO

From the little I’ve read about Hubbard he sounds very, very sick. I would guess either a psychopath or a narcissist. Psychopaths love weaponised language, love power and control, have no principles, have no remorse and are lying and manipulative. They have no conscience, none at all. Some psychopaths are charming and likeable (charismatic psychopaths) and some are abrasive and bullying (bullying psychopaths). They all pretend to have emotions, a conscience, empathy and remorse and to do this they wear ‘masks’ or false personas. They also wear ‘ideological masks’, pretending to believe in an ideology or belief in order to manipulate and control others.

If I wanted to deprogramme myself from this F—er I would probably be learning everything I could about his private life (this is where narcissists and psychopaths typically let their masks slip), reading books like ‘Snakes in Suits’ and ‘Without Conscience’ (about psychopaths), and researching Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (which results after prolonged emotional abuse). ‘Trauma and Recovery’, Judith Hermann, is an excellent starting point for more about CPTSD.

Emotional abuse at its simplest is picking someone up and dropping them down randomly again and again e.g. praise followed by criticism. It creates a ‘trauma bond’, a magnetic hypnotic yearning to stay with the abuser. CPTSD affects decision-making abilities (e.g. not being able to make the decision to escape), sense of identity and self-confidence, and can lead to physical and mental illnesses (e.g. gastric upsets, anxiety, sleeplessness, high blood pressure). It also causes obsessive thinking (‘ruminations’), characteristic of all those in a ‘relationship’ with a psychopath.

‘Love-bombing’ is the second stage of a ‘relationship’ with a psychopath (the first stage is assessment). Most cults love-bomb. Then comes ‘devaluation’ (emotional abuse). Most cults emotionally abuse. However, that doesn’t mean that all cults are run by psychopaths because a variety of other low-conscience individuals use the same tactics. But it does indicate that Hubbard was almost certainly pathological.

Anyone who escapes from a psychopath can be expected to be ‘hoovered’ (sucked back into the so-called ‘relationship’). I’ve read that Scientologists are big on ‘hoovering’, not allowing those that escaped from escaping if they can help it.

An excellent blog about what it’s like to be with a psychopath is PsychopathsAndLove (dot) com. You might find that some of her experiences ring a bell (or not).

Word clearing is a bit like being so focused on the bricks that you don’t see the whole building. Maybe that’s the point. If, in the beginning, you really took in what “Keep Scientology working” is saying, you’d be horrified.

“The world we see merely reflects our own internal frame of reference—the dominant ideas, wishes and emotions in our minds. “Projection makes perception”. We look inside first, decide the kind of world we want to see and then project that world outside, making it the truth AS WE SEE IT. We make it true by our interpretations of what it is we are seeing. If we are using perception to justify our own mistakes—our anger, our impulses to attack, our lack of love in WHATEVER FORM it may take—we will see a world of evil, destruction, malice, envy and despair. All this we must learn to forgive, not because we are being “good” and “charitable”, but because what we are seeing is not true. We have distorted the world by our twisted defences, and are therefore seeing what is not there. As we learn to recognise our perceptual errors, we also learn to look past them or “forgive”. At the same time we are forgiving ourselves, looking past our distorted self-concepts to the Self that God created in us and as us.”

Jeez , grammar and spelling are not important but clearing words such as ‘the’ are? For $100 an hour if want to learn every complicated word in the English language and other languages to boot.

i’d say how smart you are, Mr. W, but it would be rather pointless.

Yes
Again, the tech is toxic.
Word clearing rivets that jargon into your head, literally re-wiring the malleable mind in order to make the tech be perceived as something real and to keep the perceiver in that rut.
The tech is proven toxic.
Hubbard learned the ease of hypnotizing and controlling people todo his bidding and became obsessed with it.
You have the weapon.
You have the motive.
You have the body
of lost souls and broken families.
Look at you, using words like “somantic” and references like “misapplication of tech” as if there were something there.
That is NOT the way to educate our children
Period.
