What
is important is the discovery of truth and its application. That is, to
what purpose is the truth put, to what goals it is used for, the
method in which the truth is applied, to what benefit the truth is
used, that is, who benefits by its use or its non-use or its being
hidden or exposed. Such things as
truth, facts, knowledge and discoveries, and techniques, are tools, and
they in themselves don't have the ability to create or cause any
action, effect or result. It is what people do with them that is
important. It's the Being behind the tool. A scalpel can cut your
throat or it can repair a body. A hammer can bash somebody's brains out
or build a house. Therefore, what's more important is the individual's
intention and action with that tool, not the tool itself. And again,
it's the truth itself, not necessarily the source, that is important.
L. Ron Hubbard tried very hard to assign source to himself when in
truth he wasn't, and tried very hard to publicly and even privately own
truths that he had no right to. These truths belong to the membership
or to anyone else that cares to use them openly and freely. There were
dozens and dozens of times throughout the fifties in which he would
work himself into a monumental rage and shout and scream that
Scientology was HIS, that HE created it, that HE invented it. That is
not true. And he would take steps to quickly suppress any other thought
or idea through the use of force, fear, intimidation, blackmail and all
of that "good" GO stuff.
Scientology and its tech belong to the people and belong to the people
who use it. L. Ron Hubbard may have been a crossroads of truth and
communication but he tried to act as creator, which was a total
misassignment of cause and creation which of course, naturally, was
highly detrimental to his own case and his own bank and his own
progress and to the growth and proper development organizationally.
He tried to by force make a lie
persist. If any of you out there happen to have some of the early
Journals of Scientology and Professional Auditors Bulletins that go on
back to 1952 through say about 1955, you will note some interesting
things, some interesting things regarding source. For instance, L. Ron
Hubbard gave honorary Fellows of Scientology Certificates to at least a
couple of dozen people of the past, such as Freud, Alfred Korzybsky
(the great semanticist), Dr. Snake Thompson, a psychiatrist in the Navy
that my father knew via my grandfather. He named many, many sources for
Scientology at various times throughout these early years. You see, one
of the problems Dad has had with me is that I've been around the
family, him and Scientology since before the beginning, and I have a
very long and pretty darned good memory. And then also, insofar as tech
itself is concerned, there's great vast chunks of it that he did not
invent or create. But the moment somebody came up with it he took it
over and falsely owned it and suppressed the original source. I
can give you several examples and I think that if you talked to some of
the people that's been around for a long time you can easily
substantiate this. As an example, the creation and invention of
exteriorization was by Evans Farber. He's the son of J. Burton Farber
who set up the very first Church of Scientology of California which of
course later, as it was set up and running well, Dad and I took over.
So as you can see, the Church of Scientology of California is not
original with L. Ron Hubbard, but with J. Burton Farber. I can remember
sitting around in Dad's house on Tatem Boulevard in Phoenix, Arizona in
1953 - excuse me, 1952 - and Evans Farber, who was at that time
attached to Ross Lamoureux's Dianetic and then Scientology center there
in Phoenix, pacing around out in the front yard, not going away,
demanding to see Dad. And in fact I even took out some cool drinks to
the man, feeling sorry for him. But Dad absolutely refused to see him,
he couldn't be bothered to talk with him. Evans was really super
persistent and finally, after several hours of pacing around out front
they got to talking. It wasn't more than about an hour later and Dad is
jumping up and down in great glee and enthusiasm over this whole new
procedure. And it wasn't too long after that all of a sudden L. Ron
Hubbard had invented and created the thing called exteriorization. I
think you can verify this with Evans Farber, who is still out and
around Scientology. Then of course such things as acknowledgments was
invented by a Richard Steves. Dick Steves, who was also Organizational
Secretary (Org Sec) which was at that time the highest position in any
organization. It would correspond to the head of the International
Organization. And so that was started to be taught in the advanced
clinical courses, which by the way I did over twenty of them. And then
you have Jack Horner who taught Advanced Clinical Courses in England,
an absolute master and superb teacher. He came up with I believe, the
repetitive question. I believe I'm correct in that but he also I think
came up with a couple of other very important things that are still
used today. He's certainly out there alive and kicking and doing a good
job, so why don't you ask him.
Let's take also the TR's. Gad, I invented about half of them and Dick
and Jan Halpern who were assistant course instructors in the Advanced
Clinical Courses made quite a heavy contribution in that area. You have
also the CCH's. Dick and Jan and Ken Barrett and I contributed probably
better than half of that plus particularly 8C - 8C's my baby. I came up
with that because I got tired of the students not doing what I told
them to do and when I told them to do something they had bloody well
better have done it. So this was a good way of teaching control.
Dianetics and Scientology therefore,
insofar as its creation, implementation and operation truly belongs on
the 3rd Dynamic, not the 1st Dynamic. Scientology and Dianetics as a
science literally evolved from 1950 forward, and it didn't grow and
become stable as tech without the very important contributions from
many sources both inside and outside Scientology. If anybody has a
librarian bent, just do some early research. I and many others have
made it possible for people to ask questions, do research and to do the
impossible. The impossible means to openly and freely communicate and
to openly and freely practise Scientology as they see fit. Some of the
very heavy main sources of Scientology come from Zen Buddhism and
Hinduism and the Vedic Hymns and the very deep, strong and very, very
real (dangerous and destructive I might add) involvement of Dad in the
Magick and the Magick tech come straight out of the Bible and are
biblically based. As a small aside here, the book Alice in Wonderland
(which of course some of the TRs are based on) and the companion book
Alice Through the Looking Glass, were written by a master adept at the
Magick. And he was, as they all are, unknown and secret. He was also a
secret member of the Order of the Golden Dawn of which Aleister
Crowley, the English black magician was involved in. And of course it
was purposely used and put there by Dad because of its Magick
association. And Dad used it secretly in the Scientology training to
gain a higher degree of control over staff, students and preclears for
himself personally. So therefore the bottom line is that while L. Ron
Hubbard may be a crossroads, he certainly is not "The Source". And
naturally I think you can see what would happen to him personally and
to the organizations when he got so deeply involved in the
misassignment of source, the misassignment of cause, when he tried to
own things or have things that weren't his. And also when he tried to
get people to focus on him as a terminal, as a source terminal rather
than (on) the truth, or in this the plural truths. That is to
focus on the MEST rather than the theta. It would be like getting
someone to focus on the TV set instead of the message, the truth, the
information and the knowledge coming through the TV set. The TV set is
not Source at all. And naturally, trying to make the lie persist, one
gets heavily into force, disconnection and suppression.
And to make another accurate statement - that L. Ron Hubbard probably was the greatest suppressive in Scientology. Because
there's another prime truth you ought to know, and that is that Dad
never practised what he preached. Anyone who has had any personal
contact, communication, living-with or personal involvement with L. Ron
Hubbard can attest to that. Whether it be at home, the family, friends,
staff, on the Apollo, those people can understand when I say that
ninety-nine percent of whatever my father ever said or ever wrote about
himself to the press, media, public and membership is totally false and
untrue. It is just total fabrication. And you can also see that any
self- respecting auditor who had audited Dad was in many instances very
perplexed and could not figure out what the heck was going on. Because
L. Ron Hubbard didn't get any case gains, at least in the normal sense
of the word, because he had so many withholds. One of the major secret withholds (besides all the others of course) is his deep and very real involvement with the Magick tech.
The one major thing he could not openly communicate, so he drove
auditors nuts because in truth what the auditors were dealing with is
the mock-up, not the person, not the real bank, not the individual. He
was dealing with this great huge - as they say in Magick, the
"construct". And one of the problems that friends, family and staff
kept running into is that the L. Ron Hubbard they saw and talked to and
worked with was not the Scientology L. Ron Hubbard, and slowly but
surely, regardless of the justifications and rationalizations, saw the
truth, bit-by-bit, inch-by-inch. This created the old early fifties
horror formula: Must but Can't. That is, they saw the truth and must
communicate it but can't. The other half is that they had to withhold
but can't. You found this around a great many of the staff members,
friends and family: Must withhold but can't. The other half is Must
communicate but can't. This of course caused the opposing lockup in
one's bank and caused tremendous overpowering negative feedback. It
would be like being stuck between two plates in a battery with both
sides trying to discharge against each other and you're in the middle -
and you're trying to keep them from discharging.
You see, one cannot withhold truth. One cannot destroy truth. And one
was forced (when one was in and around L. Ron Hubbard) to withhold
truth. A lie will not persist so people were forced to make the lie
persist and to do absolutely opposite from what was possible. One can
just maintain a reverse polarity so long before they go into meltdown.
The basic problem is that people just could not separate L. Ron
Hubbard's case and the tech. Now I think it's about time you did. It is
not necessary to throw the baby out with the bath water. The tech is
3rd Dynamic not 1st Dynamic. The tech originated from many sources not
one source. The tech belongs to those people who use it, who follow its
precepts, who realize the truth in it and practise it. That is, simply
practise what you teach and practise what the tech preaches. I think if
Dad were to listen to any of his own tapes the one he should probably
listen to is the tape on the subject of "The Only One".
So its up to you to separate the wheat from the chaff. It's up to you
to separate the fact and the opinion - LRH's opinion. The power of
Scientology came from the field and in many instances if not all, gains
were made in cases and the tech moved forward in spite of the orgs and
in spite of L. Ron Hubbard. You made it work where it really wasn't
supposed to work sometimes.
Another important fact you should know is that Dad could not stand a
terminal of comparable magnitude. If anyone got close to his power
level he destroyed them. You will note (going clear back to 1950) that
anyone who really, truly and honestly was Clear or OT (and there were
quite a number of them, I mean real honest-to-God ones that truly were
as defined in the early days, I'm talking about from 1952, summer
thereof, through the middle fifties - that's where the actual
definitions came from), that those people were literally,
systematically, overtly, by postulate and decision, destroyed. All
you have to do is ask your neighbor, your fellow ex-member or member as
the case may be, to find these original Clears and OTs and ask them
what happened to them. Take John McMaster. He was not, by the way, the
first Clear. I find that most interesting, that's another destructive
ploy. When these people would come up to the actual being Clear, they
were announced as being the First Clear or the First OT or the First
MEST Clear, and then, when their abilities were truly demonstrated and
found workable (that is if they were out there doing what Clears really
do and demonstrating what a Clear can really do), then they were
quickly put into not-isness and gotten down into Traitor, Enemy or some
other good stuff. Then after they were successfully destroyed, when
another Clear would show up, then they were again the First Clear. But
of course a Clear does not toe the mark; a Clear does not make a lie
persist and a Clear becomes fast approaching a terminal of comparable
magnitude to L. Ron Hubbard and then dear old Dad would destroy them.
And you would find that a few weeks or months later another First Clear
would show up. This ran on about a six-month cycle from the end of 1950
to date. One of the main problems Dad had with Clears is that Clears
practised what they preached and Dad didn't. And Clears very quickly
found out that Dad didn't. And that's the one thing that would cause
instant destruction: the revelation of that one piece of data. You
can't find one Clear or OT in 34 years that didn't get run over by a
herd of L. Ron Hubbard elephants and didn't feel like they had been
stuck in the Coliseum with a hundred raging tigers and lions. I mean
they really got chewed up and spit out! |
