OMG, yes, and I&#039;m still processing this.   Quite a trick indeed.  Totally amazing actually.    All thought,  all emotion,  all effort - ALL of it curbed and channeled per their programming.  Up and down the tone scale, they Must think, feel, act and react properly at all times.  HUGE enthusiasm for anything Miscavige says is good; TOTAL thought stopping rejection,  verbal disapproval and/or outright avoidance of anything he says is bad.  And anything inbetween?  Not all good nor all bad?  If they&#039;re uncertain as to what  the proper thought, emotion, effort etc., should be?  No problemo  The friendly org Ethics Officer whelps them sort this out.    An LRH  reference or two gives them the  certainty they need so as to properly and correctly think, feel, do, etc, in any given situation.  Total certainly!  And that&#039;s that!  But wait, there&#039;s one more point about that wonderful certainty to wit: it is all THEIR idea, THEIR self determinism...they&#039;ll tell you this - quite adamently they&#039;ll tell you...its all coming from THEM...Man oh man and
Wow X 100!  Like I said, I&#039;m still processing...this was ME back in the day,]]></description>

Quite a trick isn&#039;t it? Aligns with that old saying - &quot;the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled off was getting people to believe he didn&#039;t exist.&quot;
It&#039;s tragic what the sheeple of Scientology will do to run cover for Hubbard and Miscavige believing they are at cause i.e. pan-determined, saving humanity and themselves by protecting Scientology at all costs. Sigh...]]></description>

That&#039;s quite a lesson in languages. Latin, Greek &#038; English, discourses in and comparisons thereof so the essence of the message is discussed at length - 1870s education is another universe in itself, quite something, but well above my pay grade to digest. 
It&#039;s such a travesty of honesty what Hubbard did. He had no integrity and turned out to be quite the intellectual thief. It&#039;s of great shame that he soiled so much sincere devotion, not only concerning his disorientations of truth but his lies as well. He turned so many people away from the works of many great minds he stole from and called it his own, but also those who freely gifted their work to him as well. His legacy is one of distrust and tyranny under the banner of truth for all. It proved out over time that he cared not for the sanity of others, not even his own. He had a choice early on though, imo, and picked the wrong path.]]></description>

Y, Scientology was first used c. 1870 - with roots in the New Thought Movement, like most of Hubbard&#039;s &quot;work.&quot;

see for example:

The Primary Synopsis of Universology and Alwato
The New Scientific Universal Language
Stephen Pearl Andrews, 1871
p. xiii thru 174

Thanks for the update on Regraded Being.  I loved his stuff.  I can understand wanting to retire after so long doing it.  Well the only thing I can hope for is re-runs of his stuff may be once a week or once a month or so.]]></description>

&quot;Auditors are supposed to make people feel better about being themselves by making them self-determined, that&#039;s why the Co$ hasn&#039;t got any, not a single one.&quot;

(Light bulb going on) Yes, of course!  Why would DM want self-determined people?  Perish the thought!  He wants the opposite!  He wants robots!  So of course he doesn&#039;t want auditors furthering anyone&#039;s self determinism!

But DM goes a step further: Yes,  he wants robots who at all times operate as robots,  while at the same time laboring under the delusion that they are self determined beings.  

In other words, they obey every order, channel every thought, customize every action, etc., as they are being ordered to do,  while at the same time  believing that everything they are being, doing and having springs from their own  independent thought, their own self -determinism!

Thank you, Yawn!]]></description>
