John McMaster Clear #1

Also see George Malko's Epilogue about John McMaster

Did you know that my favorite levels in scientology - Grade V, VA & Grade 6 R6EW - were written by a fellow who once was Scientology's front man, John McMaster?

Now John McMaster was a charmer, blonde, slim, attractive, effete, and quite gay.
Now young John McMaster [ we used to call him John Mac ] could charm the chrome off a bumper.

John McMaster charmed a lot of folks into scientology.
Including my own mother, Gora Lerma Who went on to become the HCOES
[ the boss ] for FCDC Foundation Organization.
And my mother is the one that got me into Scientology...

We all knew he was gay but nobody talked about it back then as Hubbard says in
Science of Survival that homosexuality is at 1.1 [ a bad level where the enemies of
Scientology hang out ] on the Hubbardian "tone scale"

He developed two of the levels in Scientology that I liked best of all, at the time I
was involved called: Grade Level 5& 5a [ V & VA ] and Grade Level 6 [VI] called R6EW

Grade V & Va

Grade V & Va are called the "Power processes" These as well as R6EW were invented by and developed by John McMaster There were three processes in the Grade V section, The first one was "Tell me a source", then you'd get the fellow to tell you about it Then you'd say "Tell me a no source" and again get the fellow to discuss it.

Hubbard would run this for example until the room seemed brighter.. Hubbard also describes a change in awareness from "no source" to "total source" to "awareness of sources" Hubbard made the training section

"Class 7 training' a secret training level [ the first secret training level one encounters ] long before one encounters Xenu and the Body Thetans...

Why is this secret? -

The pattern of secrecy in Scientology is that it is used to conceal fraud, or maximize income for the operation, hide embarrassing information, and compartmentalize data so that no ONE person inside the empire can connect enough dots to gain critical perspective..LINK

Hubbard took what John McMaster developed, called it his own, and removed all mention of John McMaster from Scientology. John Mc had many taped lectures... wrote many of the original materials of these levels - His name was removed from all records -

Ask a current member who John McMaster was....

He doesn't exist!

Another process was:

What is?

What isn't?

And another:

Tell me an existing condition?

What solutions have you had for that?

However there is more to this story.

John McMaster, I contend, wanted to run these for hours and hours and hours - not the few minutes typically doled out by the manipulative Hubbard.. And these processes would run past "awareness of sources" to something perhaps closer to a communion with the source of this universe.

John Mc's version would have run out Scientology

and perhaps reached a

state called Communion...

Hubbard's application - extorted the

most money from the target...

Secret Grade VI

Note: Dear criminal indicted cult called Scientology - in RTC vs Lerma we WON your trade secret claims do if you don't like this post, too bad, tell it to Judge Brinkema...

I remember in R6EW is you start this secret level by asking:

What am I dramatizing?

You start with one end word, like

"survive" and you write it down

and then find it's opposition word,

and then you do this for many words

like that until all the words in between

suddenly kinda reel off in front you into

an awesome release.

You might ask 'What would Oppose that'

to find the other sides of these coins

The words you get are purportedly

the "End Words" of the "Goals Problem Mass" of the R6 Bank.

R6 Bank is later described by Hubbard as

being the entirety of the incident addressed

by the Xenu OTIII Incident... [ fully described elsewhere ]

There was an odd change of 'flavor'

in the end words as you lined em all up.

White was opposed by blackness [ not black]

This flavor change continued until you had

enough of these items and what opposed them..

And they sort lined themselves up in your mind...

and you floated away....

In earlier works this is described as the

"GPM" Cycle [ Goals Problems mass ]

Some Freezoners say that Scientology went

to hell when they stopped running GPM's.

and started running Hubbardian Science Fiction.

R6EW & the Power Processes are rarely used

anymore as most people attest to Dianetic

clear, and don't get their power processing or R6EW.

All this was developed and pioneered by a gentle man named John McMaster..

Who told a story of being tormented by Hubbard, and teased about being gay to a journalist some years ago... who told me some of this and more about this never before published interview...
John McMaster died of cirrhosis of the liver in a transient flop house in Manchester England... He told a story of being tormented by Hubbard about being gay, to a writer, siting with him in his small fetid room filled with dead flowers ...

It seems that everything useful in Scientology basically seems it came from something non-Hubbardian..

All that came from Hubbard was the trap

Hubbard's homophobia is truly disgusting; especially when a gay man developed what was worthwhile in Scientology in the first place.

Ex-Scientologist Tells of ‘Fear' Atmosphere

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

McMaster Accuses Hubbard of Fostering Spiritual Tyranny Within Organization
By John Dart

One year ago an articulate but soft-spoken man named John McMaster was
extolling the virtues of Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the
worldwide quasi-scientific "religion."

Appearing on television talk shows and giving lectures as Hubbard's personal
representative, McMaster was eminently qualified. He was the first person to
achieve Scientology's state of "clear," which purportedly give a person full
control of his mental processes.

Now McMaster describes the Church of Scientology and other organizations run by
Hubbard as engaging in "spiritual tyranny."

"Ron was always busy getting everybody looking beyond the mulberry bush for a
nonexistent enemy," said McMaster in a recent interview.

Discipline Group

The 43-year old South African was in Los Angeles for the first time since he
resigned last November from Scientology's Sea Organization.

Scientology was an outgrowth of a book, "Dianetics," published in 1950 and
written by Hubbard, a onetime science-fiction writer and Hollywood
screenwriter.

For more than a decade, working from a yacht in the Mediterranean, Hubbard has
elaborated on psychoanalytic techniques with the "E-meter," similar to a lie
detector, and the course offering "the road to total freedom."

The Scientology organizations have had run-ins with the Food and Drug
Administration and Internal Revenue Service in this country and with some
government agencies in other countries. However, Scientology officials claim
that they have been falsely misrepresented by some disenchanted followers,
government officials and the news media.



London Suburb

World headquarters is in a London suburb, but a large following exists in the
United States, particularly in Los Angeles where the American Saint Hill
Organization, 2723 W. Temple St., represents the only advance-course center for
Scientology in this country.

McMaster said he resigned because of "unnecessary harshness" in the
organization "that kept people in a kind of electronic jitter." He said he also
opposed his reassignment from a public relations mission to the United Nations
to service aboard one of the Sea Organization's yachts.

McMaster, still convinced of the value of Scientology's teachings and
analytic techniques, recently gave some lectures in Phoenix and the Los Angeles
area on behalf of a Dianology organization in Westwood run by Jack Horner,
another ex-Scientologist.

Lecture sponsors in Phoenix, McMaster said, were told by Scientologists that "a
different spirit was occupying the body of John McMaster." McMaster said he had
heard that explanation used before in Scientology to explain the changed
attitudes of some persons.

A spokesman from the Church of Scientology, 2005 W. 9th St., denied that the
church has said that of McMaster.

Regarding the circumstances of McMaster's resignation, the spokesman said
reports had been made by Scientologists last year that McMaster was "holding
the founder in contempt in public," was becoming money-motivated and was
accused of conduct unbecoming a minister of the church.

"We started making every attempt to get him to undergo spiritual
rehabilitation, but these attempts were thwarted," said the spokesman. A
telegram was sent recalling McMaster for rest and spiritual counseling, but no
reply was made, said the official.

Later Expelled

"At that point he left and went into hiding and tendered his resignation, but
not through proper authorities," said the spokesman. For McMaster's "betrayal
of trust" and other acts, he was later expelled from the church, the spokesman
said.

McMaster left New York by freighter to his home in Durban, South Africa, but
only after expressing the hope for some rapprochement with Hubbard.

While in Durban McMaster said he was approached by Scientologists who offered
to give him some "Class A auditing (interviewing)" free of charge. "I accepted
it as a peace offereing but I asked my mother to come with me," said McMaster.

"It wasn't auditing. It was a security check – they were trying to find
some crime I'd committed," McMaster said.

‘Closed Book"

"At this stage, they left me and I realized that Scientology was a closed book
for me," he said.

McMaster said he has not denounced the techniques of Dianetics and Scientology
"and never will." But the organization in charge has "built a structure and
called it God," he said.

McMaster in February, 1966 became the first of thousands to achieve "clear"
status.

If McMaster disagreed with the practices of Scientology, why didn't he quit
sooner? "I felt that as long as I could get out and deliver the sane truth,
this would show that all this ethics stuff (internal security) was perfectly
unnecessary," he said. "It didn't work," he said.
