Four pickets with a Xenu sign and the LA complex was locked up tighter than a drum. Of course many more pickets showed up later, but the first 4 were enough to close down the entire operation. It truely pissed me off. Not at the pickets, but at management. LRH Way was dead and deserted (except for a few pickets). Those big doors at ASHO shut and black in the sunlight. In case you don't know the complex, it never looks like that in daylight. There are always lots of public and staff wandering the streets. What I truely expected was that the pickets would show up and the org would respond by hustling all the lower level public into the inner courtyard at ASHO. It's silly, but the org does have this fear of exposing people to Xenu, even though Ron once wanted to make a popular movie about the guy. But I expected them to fill LRH Way with every OT 3 or above that they could lay their hands on. They would have been able to field hundreds of them immediately, and they could have gotten on the phones and called up every OT in Central Files (lower level people could have done the phoning from inside) and urged them to rush down and defend their church. They could easily have mustered a thousand OTs and filled LRH Way with them, not to fight the pickets but simply to put on a big show of "Hip Hip Hurrays" and florishing and prospering like it says in policy. And some old timers could have gone over to the pickets and at least won some respect, as did happen briefly (until the SO dragged the one brave old Dianeticist away) and as was demonstrated by the DC org in handling its pickets. Even today, with the CofS a shadow of its former self and most of the old timers driven away, there are still enough loyal old timers in LA to have put about fifty of them on the street to talk to these pickets. That's about how many showed up at ASHO last fall for the last old timer's reunion there. Just ask Artie Maren, he is head of the Old Timer's Network. Instead management choose to hide their head in the sand, like an ostrich. This is a sign of death. In fact it is below death per the expanded tone scale. They have finally dropped below punishing bodies and gone into Hiding. What The Hell Was Going On In Management's Head? This was the stupidist possible action. It is contrary to all tech and policy. You either attack (which I usually disagree with, it is low toned and rebounds) or you florish and prospher (and use high toned Akido and Gandi style techniques, which is what I like) but the one thing you never ever do is to back off and HIDE. THEY HAVE GIVEN THE CRITICS THE KEYS TO THE COMPLEX. Up until now, the critics were a bit leary of picketing the complex directly. After all, it is the heart of Scientology strength, with more public in the surrounding area than anywhere else in the world. There are tens of thousands of public who might not be on lines but who are only a phone call and a few minutes drive away in times of dire necessity. Now the critics know that any 4 of them with a Xenu sign can shut the whole place down any time that they feel like it. And there are lots of resident critics in LA. How long before there is a regular picket around lunchtime every Saturday (which is one of the complex's busiest days) that crashes stats and disrupts everything? So I was very pissed at management. And I'll bet that others in the ranks are pissed at management. In fact, I'll even bet that many in management are pissed at the people who issued these orders. Of course I think that they have to get their confront up on Xenu and laugh it off as a minor incident (which is it according to the Hubbard College Lectures of 1952), but even a fanatical loyalist would feel that at least the OTs should be out there confronting this Xenu business and handling it. I previously mentioned March 21 as my guess at when the CofS would fall or reform. Obviously I was wrong and I don't mind passing my ticket in the pool on to the next man who predicted a later date. But I still have my gut feeling about that weekend (the weekend after the picket) even though nothing is visible on the outside. I think that their response to the picket was the handwriting on the wall. I think that the following weekend was the turning point within the high command itself (the council of 12 under Miscavige). Somebody's head will have to go on a pike. It could even be Davey's if a majority of the council vote to remove him for incompetance before he can invoke their pre-signed resignations. The guys at the top can't trust each other anymore. Who is going to be RPFed? Who is going to bail out with a pocket full of money? Who is conspiring to reform the church? Who is simply conspiring to take power? Its better than a soap opera and we should all stay tuned for the next episode. Indeed we live in interesting times. Best, The Pilot ========================================== Subj : Super Scio - SAVE THE TECH BEFORE ITS TOO LATE SAVE THE TECH BEFORE ITS TOO LATE This is for all Scientologists, whether orthodox or reformers or freezone. CofS Management is SINKING, as evidenced by their response to the recent LA Picket. The handling of this picket was down at HIDING, which is way below death. I don't know whether these are good guys who have simply gotten overwhelmed or bad hats who are secretly delighted, or (most likely), some mixture of the two. But one thing is certain, and that is that the observable operating basis is at Minus 8 on the Expanded Tone Scale. That means that they are not only dead and in the grave but also begging for the dirt to be thrown down upon them so as to help them hide better. THEY MUST NOT DRAG THE TECH INTO THE GRAVE WITH THEM. One of my nightmares is of a sue happy organization that does not audit but does sue and successfully erradicates the tech from any locations outside of their secret vaults. --- Now some of you might think that I am a squirrel (I am not by the older definitions), but I am certainly unorthodox and seek to extend the tech as well as bringing the 1950s tech back into use. But these things are in addition to my support of the original LRH materials and my desire to see them made easily available to everyone forever. Just because I write a book doesn't mean that the LRH books should be burned. I want everything on my reference shelf, all of LRH as well as any useful freezone writings. Just imagine what would happen to Christianity if the entire old testament were burried under a flurry of copyright suits and locked up out of sight forever. So it is important for everyone, on every side of the fence, to ensure that the original LRH materials are broadly available to everyone. --- The only safe course is to make it all public domain. I do not mean here to invalidate the good efforts of Gold or Bridge in publishing the tech. I still buy from them and will continue to do so (as long as they let me), and it is, in fact, the only money that I am willing to give to the CofS at this time. This would be true even if the copyrights were public domain. A sane and honest CofS could function well with copyrights in the public domain because their official printings of the materials would be supported by all their members who would certainly prefer to have good quality authorized editions. On the other hand, a messed up CofS which had either been infiltrated or simply gotten stupid would be incapable of destroying the tech by means of copyright terrorism. --- The tech must be gotten outside of the walls. It must be broadly published outside of the control of the CofS. Not just the upper levels or Nots, not just the tech volumes, but all of it. I do not usually condone copyright violations, but in this case it must be done for the sake of RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. Get it out on the net. Get it all out on the net. There are hundreds of megabytes of stuff. Get busy with your scanners. Post it to ARS and ACT annonymously through remailer chains. It will take a lot of work, but it must be done before too much dirt gets shoveled into that grave. There is no telling what will happen during Int Mangagement's death throes. And you can't count on the critics to preserve the tech for you. If you are an orthodox standard tech adherent, realize that you may someday have no choice but to be part of a standard tech splinter group that is separated from a caved in and psychotic CofS which no longer practices tech but does attack anyone who does. In that case, you will only have whatever tech that can successfully be exported into the public domain. I am not asking this for myself. I have one of the most comprehensive Scientology technical libraries on the planet. Just read my recent post giving a history of the GPM research line and check out some of the LRH quotes, or check the ones on the Scientology Reformer's Homepage. I am asking this for your sake, and for the sake of future generations who should have their chance to walk the road to truth. Affinity, The Pilot ========================================== Subj : Super Scio - Auditor 257 Clear Count AUDITOR 257 CLEAR COUNT I haven't been paying attention, so this might have been reported before. I just stumbled on a copy of The Auditor while moving some books around. It is number 257 and appears to be from around December 1995 (copyright 1995 and it has ads for the 1996 calendar). The clear count is 49,656. ========================================== Subj : Super Scio - S/Nots Stats (Attn Martin Ottmann) SOLO NOTS STATS (Attn Martin Ottmann) On 24 Mar 98, "Martin Ottmann" posted on subject "More Internal Co$-Statistics!

But you misinterpreted them and they are lower. I've posted these from Solo Nots newsletters twice. See - In post14.txt in the pilot archives # SOLO NOTS CERTAINTY COURSE STATS # # You might be interested in the numbers. This is from Solo # Nots newsletter volume 1 issue 5. # # .... (see the archives for the full post) And post21.txt in the pilot archives # MORE SOLO NOTS STATS # # I was looking over the latest Solo Nots Newsletter and # comparing the current stats to the one that I posted a month # or two ago (which was already a bit old). I wouldn't repeat the # whole thing here, but I noticed some interesting numbers. # # Solo Nots Newsletter Vol 1 issue 10 # titled "Merry Christmas and an OT New Year". # Recieved sometime in December # # This gives a detailed statistical breakdown of the effort # to get Solo Nots people to do the Solo Nots Certainty # course. # # "Target: To have every person in every country finished # by Mar 13, 1998". # # The old target was to start everyone by Nov 1. # # These newsletters are undated. The difference in target # dates is 4 1/2 months, so that is probably the time # difference between the issues. # # AREA TOTAL COMPS STARTS LEFT % LEFT # # OLD TOTAL 3280 768 1527 1753 (53%) # -32 +157 +102 -134 (49%) # ===== === ==== ==== # NEW TOTAL 3248 925 1629 1619 # # The TOTAL represents the total number of people who # started Solo Nots prior to the release of the SNOTS certainty # course (new people get the Golden Era version to begin # with). This includes everyone who completed and all the # new OT 8s and so forth. # # The stat is showing how many of the TOTAL who needed # to do the Solo Nots Certainty course have actually # started or completed it. # # Of course the TOTAL should not go down unless people # traved back in time and fix it so that they never got # on Solo Nots in the first place. Or it could go down # if they became declared SPs and stopped being counted # as OT 7s and 8s. # # So in the last 1/3 year, they managed to get another # 102 to start the certainty course (6% of those who # hadn't yet started) and managed to declare or otherwise # lose 32 SNOTS completions. # # Note that the Starts column includes the people who # have already completed (TOTAL = STARTS + LEFT). # # .... (see the archives for the full post) When they total these up, the total who have started includes the ones that completed. So your number for Africa, for example, is totalled incorrectly. Instead of - > Africa: NS: 23, S:25, C:19, T:67 It should be - > Africa: NS: 23, S:25, C:19, T:48 This is obvious if you have the actual newsletter in front of you and start checking the addition. Note that the most recent issue that I just recieved does specifically list the grand total for Africa as 48, and it still shows 23 as not having started. The other odd thing that they did in the calculations was to omit Sea Org members from the entries, so that if you add up all the detail entries, the total for the column is greater (because they don't list an entry for sea org members but do add them into the final total at the bottom). So you would first have to subtract all the completions out of your total of about 3600, which would take you down to about 2700, and then you would have to add in the missing sea org members to get to the actual grand total reported in the newsletter, which is a bit under 3300. The latest one that I have lists East US as having 122 not started instead of the 127 that you list, so I assume that the numbers you posted are from one of the issues that are in between the latest one I've got and the previous ones that I posted. This is reasonable because I don't save all of these and you said that your stats are from February. So it fits in between the numbers I gave previously and the numbers I'm going to put here. My newest copy is Volume 2 issue 3. It came in the mail after the LRH birthday event, but it still has the Mar 13, 98 (LRH birthday) target date for starting everybody, so it must have been written and not sent out fast enough. This time they left out the column listing how many have started, and only listed "Left to Start", "Comps", and "Total", but you can calculate the "starts" by subtracting the not started from the total. I will repete the old and December totals from the above along with the March 98 total and calculate the difference. AREA TOTAL COMPS STARTS LEFT % LEFT OLD TOTAL 3280 768 1527 1753 (53%) -32 +157 +102 -134 ===== === ==== ==== DEC TOTAL 3248 925 1629 1619 (49%) +28 +80 +213 -185 ===== === ==== ==== MAR TOTAL 3276 1005 1842 1434 (43%) Now this is odd. The total went up. This used to be a constant (those who had to do the certainty course, in other words, all those who started or completed Solo Nots before the Golden Age Solo Nots Certainty improvement was released) which would only decrease by blowing off and declaring people or by somebody dying and had no way of increasing. Maybe they are now counting new OT 7 starts in this number as well. I suspect that this is because I started tracking and posting the fact that the total number of Solo Nots certainty people was gradually decreasing, which indicates that they are losing about a dozen OT 7s a month. If the loss of OT 7s has continued at the same pace as before, they lost another 32 but showed a gain of 28 so that they must have added about 60 people into the total. Since there have been very few new starts on OT 7 since the Golden Age business came out, that number sounds very reasonable to me for the total new starts that have now been added into the certainty totals. Of course I am only guessing at how they managed to make the stats look good. And my thanks to Martin for posting the details by country. I did this once but I don't have the patience to do it every time. Best, The Pilot ========================================== Subj : Super Scio Humor - A Scientology Easter HUMOR: A SCIENTOLOGY EASTER To ensure proper success, a new religion must absorb the holidays of the old and develop its own versions of them. Otherwise the membership will be tempted to backslide and join their old friends in the festive celebrations of the old religion. Hence there is Christmas with it's pagan tree worship celebrated in December so that the early Christians would not join their friends in the Saturnalia or other celebrations of the winter solstice. And then there is Easter, heir to both the rites of spring and the Jewish Passover. And it should be obvious from the Easter eggs and the fertility of rabbits that the anchient rites do indeed have their impact on what is in theory a very solumn Christian holiday. Scientology has successfully embraced Christmas thanks to Ron's delight at receiving Christmas presents. But Easter is a different story. There is little recognition of the holiday except for a slightly beefed up Sunday Service. This just can't compete with bunnies and chocolates and crucifixion stories. So a plan is needed to put the Scientology Easter celebration on a par with the Christian one. First there is the matter of the resurrection. Unfortunately, Ron neglected to resurrect. So the best that we can do is to let the holiday symbolize the rebirth of civilization. This can be done by wearing conical party hats painted to look like the DMSMH volcano. For lower level public, this would be the day on which Ron cognited on Dianetics. For upper level people, they could be told that it is really the day upon which Xenu was captured and locked away in his mountain trap. Next, we must have Easter chocolates. These could be cast in the shape of ethics officers and consumed as a symbol of one's comittment to Ethics. The bookstore can sell these blessed ethics chocolates at a high markup and thereby ensure that the gross income will not go down due to the holiday. And then comes the matter of the Easter eggs. Coloring them is lots of fun for the kids. It is best to color raw eggs rather than hard boiling them and that has the additional benifit of teaching the kids not to be clumsey. So the holiday begins on Saturday night with the egg coloring. In the morning, the conical volcano hats are donned and the ethical chocolates are consumed. Then the public proceeds to the org with their baskets of raw and colorful eggs. There is an Easter parade in front of the org and the wearer of the most colorful volcano hat is judged and declared as an ethics upstat. The winner also gets to lead the crowd in the remaining festivities. Next the crowd goes to the chapel to sing hymns such as "A mighty fortress is our org" and "Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide from pickets in thee". Sometimes they might even sing the secular but immensely popular "Guradian Thetans around my Ass". But the high point of the activites comes when the crowd leaves the formal service and returns to the street. This is when the RPFers are lead out and finally get to see the light of day. The crowd, dressed up in their colorful hats and carrying their egg baskets, gathers around the RPFers and shouts "Hip Hip Hooray". Then the eggs are thrown. Happy Easter and Good Joking And Degrading to all!

It doesn't assume any knowledge of Scientology but it works in a balanced approach of both grades and OT level processes right from the beginning. It eventually gets around to a modern Dianetic style incident running technique as well as more advanced actions. I would recomment "Self Analysis", "Fundamentals of Thought", and "Creation of Human Ability" as some of the best of Ron's works. The Dianetics book is slow going and only half accurate. He was much smarter in 1952 after going through the hard knocks of the first Dianetics organization. Best, The Pilot ========================================== Subj : Super Scio - Light-Year Kilotons (attn Podkayne1 & ex-CMO) LIGHT-YEAR KILOTONS Podkayne1 asked on subject "OT Maxims" > ...here's one from the tech bulletin called "OT Maxims". > > "The power (defined as light-year kilotons per microsecond) of a thetan is > measured by nothing else than the distance (defined as spherical spatial > length) around him in his envioronment that he can control." > ----- > Does this make *sense* to anybody? To which future808@aol.com (Future808) replied on 4 Mar 98 # Gawd was I glad after getting out of the Sea Borg and taking some college # classes in Physics and Chemistry that I could finally understand that some # Hubbardian things just don't make any sense. # # I find this particularly funny since Elron talkes about Einstein's infamous # E=MC2 being all wrong, as well as some of the other physics arriving out of # that time frame. # # WTF is a light year kiloton anyway? # # # EX-CMO # # P.S. to OSA: The Truth Is A Virus. This is obvious. A Light-year is a measure of distance, as is a foot. And a kiloton is a measure of weight as is a pound. And of course a microsecond is a measure of time. Therefore this is the old foot pounds per second formula beefed up to sound electrifying to the yokels. All formulas of this character are equivallent and can be transformed from one scale to another by using a conversion factor. In this case, since a light-year is very very long, and the others are biggies too, the conversion factor probably has about twenty digits in the number. In other words, there would be about 1 times 10 to the 20th power foot-pounds per second in one of these big Hubbardian thingamajigs. Now we can calculate Hubbard's power on his own scale. Take an average 200 pound man and assume that he can walk about one foot per second. That's 200 foot pounds per second. I'm just ballparking for convienience rather than describing Hubbard specifically. Divide by our 20 digit conversion factor. Just doing this in a ballpark manner, we get 0.000000000000000002 of these big watchamacallits for anyone who can walk around in a body. Since Hubbard could walk (at least until the last days), we can grant him this power level. Of course that is while using the body for an amplifier. If we want to get picky and calculate this in terms of how many ashtrays he could levitate per second, the number gets much much smaller. If he could only levitate one ashtray per week, we need to add about ten more zeros to the above fraction. And that is being very generous because he himself was never observed to have done this. But lets be generous and grant it to him. That gives us his power level as 0.0000000000000000000000000002 TPUs (Theta Power Units). (sardonic wry smile) In truth this is a very late bulletin and I tend to doubt that he wrote it. It sounds more like the kind of thing that he would have tossed out in a half joking manner in one of the old tape lectures. Probably some idiot heard it on a tape (with the audience laughing) and took it seriously and issued it as a bulletin to try and get some people to sign up for Nots. Of course I'm just guessing here. As far as the current CofS goes, I think that right now they are measuring their power in terms of foot bullets per second. Not really joking and degrading. This is humorous truth and calling em as I seez em. Best, The Pilot ========================================== Subj : Super Scio - Answering Eldon ANSWERING ELDON I almost ignored this as being a Troll, but I checked and you do seem to have written some intelligent posts and you do seem to be a critic, so I don't think you have any hidden intentions to out me for OSA's benifit. So I'll do you the curtesy of replying, even though I think that you have neglected to check into the kind of things I have been posting. On 19 Mar, 98, eldonb123@aol.com (EldonB123) asked on subject "To the pilot" > What makes you the expert you pretend to be? What expertise do > you really have with the technologies of Dianetics and Scientology? Years on staff. Years of training. Years of auditing. Many decades in the subject. See the introduction to the Super Scio book or other things I've written that talk a bit more about my experiences. For proof, find somebody who really knows the tech and can look up LRH references and have them check out some of the LRH quotes I put up on the Scientology Reformer's Homepage, or have them check tech volume page numbers I listed in the Guide To Confidential Data that I posted, or have them check the LRH references I gave in my recent writeup on the GPM Research Line. Or just ask on alt.clearing.technology. It's not just that I quote LRH, but that I quote stuff which is not on the net but can be checked out by a trained Scientologist. Nobody has ever called any of my direct LRH quotes as being inacurrate. They might argue about my interpretations, but not my sources. > E-mail me. I don't use E-mail, at least from the Pilot identity. > And while you're at it, Pilot, post it on the board so > everyone can see. You are doing a great job on honesty > as far as I am concerned. Indeed yes, I am quite honest. I am not lying about who I am. That I choose not to tell you, especially as I make the fact that I am using an anonymous pseudonym well known, is quite different from giving you false data. > Respectfully, Eldon > > EldonB123@aol.com It does occur to me that you are posting from aol.com and you did mention "post it on the board", so maybe there is a bit of confusion here. I'm not on aol and I don't post to the board, nor do I know what is going on there, but sometimes people repost some of my stuff to the aol board (I have said that my posts can be copied around and reposted freely, and I stand behind that decision). So maybe you got a piece of something out of context. I'm also curious as to your own level of expertise in Scientology and whether you've had any auditor training. Restpectfully, The Pilot ========================================== Subj : Super Scio - A Note on Gale and Dayton A NOTE ON GALE AND DAYTON This is not of great significance, but just for the record, David Gale and Wendel Dayton were on New York Org staff together back in the 1960s, working, I believe, in the Treasury division and gaining experience in accounting and so forth. Wendel's son Sky had a real knack for computers and ended up founding Earthlink. David founded MCBA (accounting software) back in the 1970s and later he founded New World Software. David's son Philip grew up into yet another computer wiz and did some major work for Earthlink. I don't think that there is any hidden significance to any of the above. I doubt that Scientology retains any strong influence over Earthlink anymore, and Scientologists in business who are not WISE fanatics are not necessarily loyalists who quote policy or follow orders from OSA. I really doubt that his family would have disconnected from Philip or treated him harshly. There are many disaffected or disillusioned Scientologists who do not get declared or attacked. They are ignored as long as they don't make trouble or join a squirrel group. But disillusionment with one's parent's beliefs can leave a teenager feeling estranged and out of communication. He should have been able to talk to his parents. But maybe they were pushing too many buttons trying to handle him. That is true of a lot of parents, not just Scientologists and not just religious fanatics. He should have been able to talk to somebody at his church. But he was disaffected and most of them would have fanatically quoted policy instead of listening to a troubled kid. So as an alternative he should have been able to talk to a freezoner who would understand what was bothering him but who wouldn't push the party line down his throat. But of course he would have been afraid to do that for fear of getting declared and losing all contact with his family. He should have been able to talk to his friends. But somebody who hasn't been there is rarely capable of understanding the doubts and qualms of a disillusioned Scientologist. So he probably felt a gulf separating them. He should have been able to talk with somebody at the school, whether a psychologist or a teacher or somebody with understanding and insight. Although most of these people are useless for any real problem, a large school will usually have somebody who really does listen and really does help, and the students usually know who it is even if the Dean doesn't. But he was told that all psychs are bad and third partied against all "wog" authority figures. So of course they were also ruled out. I'm not sure that we'll ever know what it was he was trying to communicate. But it probably had something to do with Scientology or else he wouldn't have choosen LRH's birthday to jump out of that window. I'm quite sorry about this event. Maybe if he'd been given a copy of the self clearing book to play around with he would have had some hope for the future and taken the time to have second thoughts before jumping.

I would think that newer packages can handle the old keys. When I went looking, my rule was that it has to be available internationally and can run on different platforms (which eliminates any GUI only versions). The 2.6 I use is an international version that met those criteria. I got it from the same set of links as Private Idaho, and PI will shell out to DOS to execute it automatically (PI runs under Win 3.1). Of course I don't post with PI, but I did want to try it. For simple DOS use, it is very easy. There are command line agruments for generating or adding a key to the key ring. Once those are setup, you simply give it an input file (with command line arguments) and get an output file, either encrypted or signed or decrypted. All very easy. As far as mailing or posting goes, I would never use an actual E-mail package to write anything very long. The editing is just too poor and annoying. So I would recommend writing your files with whatever editor is comfortable whether or not you are going to use a DOS PGP package. Once you have a text file, you can optionally point PGP at it and get a signed or encrypted copy. When it is time to mail or post, cut/paste or insert the file into the email message. Do not "ATTACH" the file, because that gives you one of those horrible MailMerge attachment messes instead of giving you a true single message to transmit. I have so many other things to look into and keep up with, both for work and for my "hobby" here on the net, that I doubt that I will get around to looking into PGP again for awhile. But if you have a site with an easy to download version that meets my requirements as far as being easily available internationally and working under at least PC DOS and Unix (so that everybody can work with it), I'll take the time to download it if you post the URL. Best, The Pilot ========================================== Subj : Super Scio - Answering Gregg About 1967 ANSWERING GREGG ABOUT 1967 On 30 Mar 98, elrond@cgo.wave.ca (Gregg Hagglund) asked on subject "A WINDOW IN TIME: State of Co$ Beliefs 1967?" > Okay Ex members and Scholars: > > Let us pretend it is 1967 for a moment. A very good year. I was on staff and training as an auditor. This was before crush Ethics and crush sell and the academy was a pleasant place where you could chat with the supervisor or the other students about the tech. There was a lot of fun and a lighthearted atmosphere. Of course I was at an outer org rather than in the thick of it, and things might already have gone very bad up at the top. > Please fill me in (with references if possible) as > to the state of the Co$ beliefs at this time. > Was OT3 written yet? Initially, only trained auditors could do the advanced levels. The modern clearing course had started in 1965, but only a Class 6 auditor (Saint Hill Special Briefing Course - SHSBC) could do it. The only way to get grade 6 initially (a pre-requisite for clear) was to do the SHSBC. John MacMasters (1st modern clear) finished the CC (clearing course) in 1966. Then a solo bridge was created to allow people to do clear without all the intensive training. It consisted of doing the 1966 style Dianetics course (a light, easy version of Dianetics, neither the old heavy DMSMH style nor the professional R3R style that is used in modern Dianetics). This was so that the amature could learn a bit about auditing and how the mind worked. After this and getting lower grade auditing (about 25 hours usually), the person could go to Saint Hill and get audited on grades 5 and 5A (power and power plus), and then do the solo course and grade 6, and then he could do the clearing course. Prices were not too bad. Grades 0 to 4 auditing were $125 each or $500 for the 0 to 4 package. The DAC was either $250 or $500 (I forget). Grades 5 and 5A were about $500 each. The Solo+R6 course was, I think, $500 and so was the Clearing Course. Maybe 3 thousand for the entire lot. The basic price of auditing in general was $25 per hour (and half price for anyone trained through class 2 or above). During 1966, there were only a handful of clears around, and all of them were exceptionally highly trained auditors and either on staff or running franchises etc. There were small numbers of Class 7 auditors around (the highest level) who were trained to run power processing. Power was only delivered to public at St. Hill, but outer orgs were allowed to run it on their contracted staff members if they had a class 7 on staff. In 1967, ordinary public finally started completing the solo route to clear and coming back as clears. Note that it took time for them to do the new solo bridge (Dianetics course etc.). This generated lots of excitement. The expectation was that these new public clears would be like the highly trained old timers who had gone clear, but of course there was no way that fooling around with the CC platens was going to turn a beginner into the same breed of cat as somebody who had spent a decade studying the tech and trying to audit and help people. I suspect that trying to make these public "clears" look and act like the old timers (most of whom really were very able) was the real beginning of the bullshit PR and false claims. OT 1 and OT 2 had come out. OT 2 was a long run, so staff members were allowed to take the platens home with them and solo audit it on themselves while getting back to work at their org. There was no Case Supervision (C/Sing). Eventually, when I was auditing in the HGC (Hubbard Guidance Center - where professional auditing is done), I would write the next thing to audit in the 'Suggest' section of the session report and the DofP (Director of Processing) would either initial it or suggest something else to run, but it was all very informal. Solo auditors were trained in what they were going to do and then given their materials, and then just ran it on their own without a C/S looking over their shoulders. The "Only accounts talks money" policy was still in, so the registrars were not even allowed to bring the subject up, and certainly couldn't hound people about paying for things. Accounts would simply advise the person of the price of things because they were not trained in any kind of sales techniques. So the reg would explain about a course and how great it was and accounts would say it costs so and so much and that was about the end of the matter. This made them fairly comfortable to deal with. It was very much like registering at a college and not at all like going to a used car dealer. Although high crimes and fair game existed in theory, there was almost no practical use of these things at this time. This was before the witch hunts. So these things were like sleeping time bombs rather than in heavy use. But that was probably only true in these outer orgs, where people were interested in studying the subject rather than in hunting for squirrels and SPs. But that would change fairly rapidly. By late 1967, the HCOB "All sickness equals PTS" had come out. Now this idea of finding SPs and disconnecting from them became the "why" for things going wrong etc. Sometime late in 1967, a staff member was put in liability for the first time (by 1968 it was a common occurance). Also somewhere in this time period, one of our staff going out to St. Hill for advanced levels was declared suppressive (another first). But by 1968 we all kept stacks of disconnection forms in our desks for disconnecting from the weekly list of newly declared suppressives. It was at the end of 1967 that the RJ67 Tape (Ron's Journal 1967) came out and was played for all staff, and subsequently for all public. The transcript for this tape is available from Clambake and other internet sites. This tape was a real shocker and it is basically when OT 3 was officially released. Throughout the year, Ron had been completely out of sight, and there were only vague rumors of the Enchanter (his yacht) and so on. Suddenly he's on "an island in the sea" (Valencia) and people can fly off to the secret location and do this super level that handles the event that made this galactic sector a wasteland. At this point the fanaticsim begins to escallate. There was just enough that did work in the tech that we were using (doing things like finding that solutions to old problems would themselves become new problems) that we had trememdous confidence in Ron. And the real data about OT 3 was confidential, so we just had to trust that he was being as smart about that as about the older stuff which we could discuss and try out. Note that there was a much more liberal atmosphere about discussing and experimenting with tech in those days. So we swallowed it all, hook, line, and sinker. And public people would go out and do these OT levels and come back with no more OT ablilites than a Lamppost. But we trusted and we believed. And there was just enough of the sporatic OT phenomena (the critics will say bullshit, but these things did happen) still around to make it all seem true. But the sporatic OT phenomena only occured for trained auditors and old timers and not for these untrained OTs who only put on airs of importance. And a Sea Org member who is not an auditor but has learned to be afraid of misunderstood words and squirreling the tech is about the furthest from real OT that one can get. And they will go after anyone who is thinking and able to do things and pound them into the dirt until any of these rare OT manifestations disappear completely. But I'm slipping over into 1968 and 1969 here. The really heavy force didn't hit until fall of 68. > Had Hubbard taught there > was no God or Christ? If so at what level? You're thinking of the Class 8 lecture called "Assists" that is available on various websites. This was given as part of the first Class 8 course in mid 1968 and it was confidential. > Were Body Thetans part of the teachings? Etc. This was confidential material on OT 3. The earlier tech on "entities" dates back to 1952 and is mentioned in "History of Man" and discussed extensively in the Hubbard College Lectures (HCL), but was always considered to be a minor case factor rather than a thing of great significance. There (the HCL tapes) he mentions that the most recent "joiner" incident (as things like the Xenu incident were then called) took place on Earth, but he says that there are many earlier ones. Nobody paid much attention to these things in 1967. The History of Man book was around but considered to be old and out of date, so people read it but didn't get all worked up about it. > Orgs were held as Franchises were they not? No. There were a small number of central orgs, maybe twenty or thirty all together. They were basically part of CofS and final management authority was the World Wide (WW) organization which was also at Saint Hill (in addition to the SH organization itself). The central orgs could deliver training and processing up through Class 4 and Grade 4 to their public. The francises were franchised operations, with the franchise holder providing the initial financing and taking profits. A franchise was only allowed to deliver the Dianetic Auditors Course (the DAC, the public route to solo) and the grades up to 4, but it could not train classed auditors. Saint Hill delivered Class 6 (the Briefing course or SHSBC) and Grade 5/5A, and the solo training and levels (Grade 6, Clear, OT 1 - 2). When OT 3 was released, and when the Class 8 course first came out, these were done only on the ship with Ron. Then they were exported to SH (1968). Sometime in 1968, HAPI was established in Scotland to provide an alternate location for doing OT levels. And then the general ban on Scientology staff (not public or tourists) emegrating to England was passed there. In other words, Scientologists could travel there to take courses, but Scientology employees could not emigrate or get work permits, so transfering new Sea Org recruits to England was blocked. A "flight to freedom" had been organized in the US at this time (mid-1968). It was a chartered jet full of hundreds of people going out either for their OT levels or to join the Sea Org. When it landed in England, it was stopped at customs and the new ban was enforced for the first time, denying all the new sea org recruits their entry visas. They apparantly had gotten a list of who was a recruit vs who was paying public and denied entry on this basis. There was a mad scampering of waking various staff members up at Saint Hill that night, and a crowd of trained sea org people replaced some of the public (who went to St. Hill) on the plane and the flight was re-chartered for Los Angeles, where it landed and they setup the Los Angeles advanced org (AOLA) and ASHO (American Saint Hill organization) on the spot. But I digress. So back to 1967. The franchises were fairly loose and autonomous. Then comes the heavy ethics and worries about squirreling, and the various mutinies and leaking of OT levels in 1968 and 1969, and franchises like Bernie Green's breaking loose and delivering OT levels without authorization. So the court battles and fair game go into full force. > What level of Scn'tist was permitted to be a > Franchise or Missionholder? I'm not sure of the specific requirements. After the Class 8 course came out, they had to have a class 8 to ensure that standard tech was delivered (late 1968), but the franchise holder himself did not have to be a class 8 (some were), but only had to employ one. The class 7 course was limited to contracted staff, so the highest training a franchise would have prior to late 68 would be to have one or more class 6 auditors (SHSBC granduates). I think that by the 1968 timeframe, the ethics record and loyalty of a potential franchise holder was of more interest than their training level as far as getting approval to open up for business. Later there were big price tags on starting a new franchise, but I don't think that this was the case at this time. > I have a reason for this but want to hold back for > a bit. Ok? Yup. But I'm looking forward to you posting whatever data or story got you to raise these questions. > Email is fine, but please post too as this will encourage more > discussion of Scientology and less 'Not Scientology'. > > Best, > > Gregg > > <<>> > oo>>>{ And sentenced to Death for this SP Act. }<< > ["You know, people die if they criticize scientology - > I should take care if I were you." > -Marcus Nyman, OSA (former GO), $cio-org, Stockholm, Sweden.] > > Gregg Hagglund SP5 > http://www.cgocable.net/~elrond > -- > " I'm sure it's obvious to all who read my stuff, that I have > serious problems when it comes to being able to communicate." > > Download the latest Xemu Flyer: > http://www.cgocable.net/~elrond/2-1ZipArch.html Throughout this timeperiod, there were things happening at the top that only hit the orgs on a delayed basis and which in turn hit the franchises even later. Following policy or adhereing to standard tech was not done with the later fanaticism. The very term "standard tech" did not come out until the first class 8 course in mid-68. And there is a policy which says that policy is a guiding thing rather than an absolute, so it was usually used to settle disputes between arguing staff members rather than enforced as law. So a policy or bulletin might be issued, and an org might be careful and tentative about trying it out to see what happened before going hog wild on it. There was still room for good sense and judgement. And sometimes old timers would still try to write things up and correct mistakes and pass these up the line to World Wide. But it seemed like nobody there was listening anymore. The heavy handed attitude and literal minded interpretations must have started at the top in the 1967 timeframe, but it only worked its way down to the outer orgs and franchises slowly. Gradually the Sea Org was hitting the orgs with more and more force. And the "standard tech" release in 68 caused auditors to be trained by force. And Ethics kept getting tougher, and things kept getting worse, until there was a complete collapse in 1969. Then there was a major turn around in 1970. Many of the LRH Eds from that time have disappeared (they are no longer by LRH or something like that) and most of the crap came back in within a year or two, but it shows that a reform is possible if their backs are to the wall. The 1970 "reform" included things like cancelling all penalties for lower conditions. The fair game cancellation, which was in name only in policy was re-interpreted to mean not engaging in the action of fair gameing (obviously that interpretation only lasted for about a year). Most declarations of SPs were considered to be incorrect and an effort was made to recover people who had been wrongly declared (thousands came back in). Disconnection from SPs was pretty much abandoned briefly. Sea Org missions announced things like the SO was in liability to the orgs for having ruined them and was making amends. Expanded grades came out and grades were run on clears instead of insisting that what was wrong with a clear was due to OT 3. The "overboarding" was stopped, and the C/Ses became helpful instead of invalidating. The whole atmosphere changed briefly, at least in the outer orgs, and then all the vile stuff began sneaking back in. Basic problems like the confidientiality and the Xenu business were not handled at this time. So they did the right thing at lower levels, but the top was still under this pall of idiocy. I think that is why the reform couldn't work in the long run. The sickness began filtering down from the top again and the bad behavior gradually came back. Sorry for getting so carried away here. Best, The Pilot ========================================== Subj : Super Scio Tech - Self Clearing After Clear (ans to Anonymous) SELF CLEARING AFTER CLEAR (answering Anonymous) On 21 Mar 98, fza@fza.org (FreeZone America) forwarded an anonymous message to ACT that they had recieved with the subject "[Fwd]: ATTN: PILOT - questions from an anonymous source" > I went clear on Book I Dianetics. I never did any grades Is there a > "Self OT" Technology in the Self Clearing Manual to continue past > clear?ÿ I was thinking of running myself through Route I of COHA.ÿ > Would this be a good idea?ÿ What else would be reccomended? > > - Anonymous Maybe I should have called the book "self OT drilling". It really is both. The various Route I drills are pretty much worked into various places in the book. Of course you can just do Route I, and you should make good gains on it, it works excellently on a solo basis, but it isn't enough by itself. I still recommend COHA as one of Ron's best books. Going clear does not eliminate the need for grades. And even after they are done, the grades can run again on a much deeper basis once you have advanced a lot further. Ultimate errasure of the grades on the early track (first problem that ever got stuck, etc.) are somewhere up at the very top of the OT levels (around OT 40 or 50 on the current bridge). I prefer mixing OT drills in right from the beginning because it builds horsepower faster. So the second process of chapter 1 of self clearing is a strong OT drill rather than a low level process. The difference is that for a beginner it will run on a shallow basis. Somebody who is already way up scale can get major effects with the same process. Since it is an unlimited process, you can use it again and again. So one might as well learn it right away instead of waiting. The real difference for a clear is not in what processes will run but in how fast they run (much faster) and how deep one can reach (one reaches much deeper). Above clear, one gets big cognitions and overruns easily because it all happens so fast. And some things will feel like overrun right away and should be skipped in that case. A clear is not likely to flinch from force or non-confront. Therefore their judgement as to what they should run can generally be trusted because they don't try to get out of running a process that will be helpful to them. So don't try to force yourself on things that don't seem to have any charge right now, and don't grind away at things. Some barriers will already be gone. But learn all the theory and run any process that seems like it has something on it. Since you've done Dianetics, skip the chapter on incident running on the first pass through the book, or just read it for theory. That's about the only chapter that might get a clear into trouble. And it might be useful again later after you've done some of the more advanced chapters. At this point I feel that all overrun is due to trying to push too deep in one area while other areas remain unhandled. You get some huge breakthrough and reach super deep in some area, and then when you try to push deeper you start dragging things in from the side instead of actually getting lower, like digging a hole in the sand to the point where the sand to the sides keeps sliding in. So you clean off some other areas of the beach. But eventually you can take any area to a new level of depth. Good Luck, The Pilot ========================================== Subj : Super Scio Tech - Stage Fright (Attn Lakis) STAGE FRIGHT (Attn Lakis) On 10 Mar 98, lakis agrogiannis asked on subject "To Pilot and other tech-minded" > hi, > I was watching my kid perform on stage one day, first shyly but then > with more and more certainty, I looked at him for a while and I realized > that that's what I'm doing, too.

When I was young, a relative had suggested that I try the trick of imagining that everybody in the crowd was naked. But that didn't do me much good because I felt just as shy and foolish in front of naked people as with normal ones. From my viewpoint, whoever was in the audience could be as foolish as they liked but the one up on stage could not. So I still suffered from stage fright when I joined staff. TRs and auditor training helped me get my confront up. And I remembered Ron's comment about talking to a specific individual in the crowd rather than considering the crowd as a whole. Rubinstein, the famous old concert pianist, said a similar thing on one of his TV specials. Namely, that he would imagine that there was a specific person in the crowd who would really understand everything that Rubinstein was trying to do on the piano, and then he would play for that person. Eventually it happened that I was Director of Training and I had to host the academy graduation. Some of the crowd were my own students, but the graduations also had large numbers from the beginners courses and casual drop ins and so forth, so there were a hundred or more people, many of whom I didn't know. I had some confidence from the auditor's training, but I also knew that I had always felt stage fright in front of a large audience and was apt to do foolish things, and I had further worries of embarassing the org by coming across poorly. Remembering the business about talking to one individual in the crowd, I decided to take it a bit further just to be safe. So as the crowd began to accumulate, I started spotting people in the crowd who I would be willing to communicate with and deciding that I could indeed talk to them. I had spotted a few dozen and was seeing the crowd as individuals and feeling very very good about all of them by the time I had to walk out in front of the group. Not only was there no stage fright, but I felt truely safe and comfortable and had a good time. Since then I've enjoyed talking to groups and never have a hint of stage fright, and I don't bother to run any processes on it or prepare myself either. So it was a total handling. This or some variation of it would be the thing to do.
