Scientologists often don't read the newspapers ("wog entheta"). Although they managed to get SO staff to stop watching TV, they haven't managed to do that with the Scientology public (at least not yet).
I think that the BBC show must have had a lot of impact in the UK. Saint Hill was the third largest CofS stronghold in the world. What is it now?
Among Scientology OTs, broad public exposure of Xenu/Xemu without any resulting mass pneumonia or whatever forces them to wakeup and rethink the entire business. In the US, broad public exposure means something like the 60 minutes show.
He has been outed before, but this is the big one in the US.
Its only too bad that they didn't also show the BBC's Xenu cartoon.
HBO's America Undercover often has shows that are jointly produced with BBC channel 4. Maybe you could write them and suggest that they show some of the British material.
I personally don't think that the Xenu business invalidates the tech, its just one stupid incident. But it totally invalidates the blind fanatical mindset, the confindentiality, the ridgid rules, and the entire operating basis of the Sea Org.
With Xenu outed, there is no way to keep the literal minded worship of Ron's words. Either they learn to think and pick and choose, which immediate makes them freezone or reformers, or they say the hell with it all and bail out completely.
If they had not been suppressive to the use and availability of the tech, if they had not blocked all further research, if they had not attacked everything that moved, if they had not abused and exploited their own membership, if they had simply sat quietly in their own little world of fanaticism, they could have been ignored and allowed to wallow in their foolishness.
Instead they had to specialize in commiting overts, and now the motivators are coming home to roost.
With Xenu, their stupidity is brought to light.
With Lisa, their cruelty is brought to light.
And with free self clearing, they are shown that they can have the tech without the sacrifices.
These 3 all culminated in December. It takes time for the word to spread, especially among staff who will only hear of things indirectly.
I give it 3 months. One month to achieve strong word of mouth within the organization. A second month for staff to think things through and start talking amongst themselves. And a third month for them to get in motion and do something.
At a guess, I would say about March 21st.

subj : Super Scio - Scientology Funerals
SCIENTOLOGY FUNERALS
========
Although cremation is common, and Ron recommends it in Hymn of Asia, it is not required.
There is an expectation that the thetan will remain around the body until it is disposed of (cremated or burried) and therefore will hear the service. This is similar to the Tibetan belief whereby they read the Book of the Dead to the body as part of the funeral rites.
Note that the Scientology funeral service is primarily addressed to the thetan who has died rather than to the congregation attending the service.
In all Scientology ceremonies, the music is choosen by the participants (the people being married or whatever) rather than by the minister. In the case of a funeral, it would either be the previously expressed wish of the deceased or, if none were specified, the choice of his surviving relatives.
Also note that Scientologists are not required to use the funeral service written by Ron, but it is the one generally used.
========
"Death" Lecture 12 of the 18th ACC given on 30 July 1957.
..
"What happens to him when he dies?
Well, basically all that happens is that a separation occurs between the thetan and the body. That's basically all that happens.
He, however, takes with him old tin cans and rattling chains and bric-a-brac and other energy phenomena that he feels he cannot do without and stashes this in the next body that he picks up.
..
Now a thetan doesn't much care concerning the actual disposition of the body as long as it isn't given any more indignity than it suffered in the lifetime. But he is apt to be very upset about indignities rendered to a dead body.
..
He associates the body with his own identity to the degree that every time an indignity is rendered to the body, he thinks it is to some degree being rendered to him. Therefore he hangs around a body until it's properly disposed of. When people make wills in which they declare a certain disposition of the body, it's a very, very, wise thing, if you want the fellow to go on and live a happy life someplace else and so forth, to carry out those wishes. I don't care what they are.
..
And a person loses his body and after that behaves accordingly and out of this a great mystery is made.

I believe in the same religion that you do. I believe in the tech. I apply it. It works for me.
I do not suffer from a lot of critical attacks. I might get into an occasional argument, and there are critics who will say that the tech is bullshit, but they will leave me alone to practice it.
The only group that would not leave me alone if I were to come out in the open and really start spreading the tech is the CofS itself.

Even you said "conventionally believed" rather than proved.
At best, assuming the tests themselves were accurate (which is also subject to debate), there are still many difficulties with this proposition.
It is a ratio that was determined (80/20) which cannot be measured by direct instrumentation (there is no "gene meter" that one inserts into the subjects like a thermometer to see what part of their IQ came from the genes). Therefore, one is dealing with a sorting criteria (what goes on which side of the line) and a statistical analysis of the results.
These kind of deductions easily become misleading if one has not adequately determined all the factors involved or accidentally introduced a bias into the criteria. If, for example, there are three significant factors instead of two, sorting the data into only two bins results in inaccuracy.
There are many other things that can go wrong when one must depend on an indirect analysis instead of direct observation. I don't mean to invalidate the work done or the honesty of the researchers here, but only to point out that there are many opportunities for wrong conclusions. This is easiest to see in other more mechanical fields where manufacturers intentionaly try to lead one to wrong conclusions.
I occasionally become involved in computer performance testing. There is an interesting book called "How to lie with statistics". It deals with adjusting premises so that accurate numbers will produce false conclusions. This occurs in the computer field where the actual physical processes are well understood but some manufacturer's wish to create false impressions to sell their products.
For example, we were benchmarking some database oriented software and the software company's benchmark showed an extremely high performance of 100 transactions per second. On careful examination, I determined that they had ensured that the database size fit within the cache memory of the computer. So we increased the database size by half again, and saw a one hundred to one drop in performance.
Of course the manufacturer had selected this intentionally and it was an area of known physical processes.
In an unknown area where one is attempting to deduce the actual processes and perform statistical analysis, this kind of bias (which can easily skew results by orders of magnitude) can easily be introduced unintentionally simply because there is an unidentified factor at work.
Furthermore, the "20% learning environment" is obviously a broad generality which could never be proven at that level. One could only show that particular kinds of learning environments only affect IQ by 20%.
This is similar to proving that there are no airplanes because the average speed at which people travel is less than ten miles per hour.
In this case it is not the "tech" which is cancelling conventional wisdom but simple weakness in the conventional wisdom itself.
If, for example, playing the music of Beethoven for children in the nursery increased IQ, the conventional analysis would neither have proved or disproved this unless this was a specific criteria under study.

Let us leave the matter of the FDA aside. They often attack things which even your government considers healthful and they are scandolus in their efforts to make vitamins illegal in the USA (or rather, to make them into perscription drugs).
This two sided testing is a most excellent point. One must indeed watch for negative as well as positive effects and both may be present.
I have not personally experienced or heard of others experiencing a decrease in either sexual potency or the ability to love due to doing OT level processing.
But those who are harshly manhandled by ethics or abused while working on staff do seem to me, IMHO, to have their capacity to love (in the broad sense) significantly impared. And those who are pounded with the new Sea Org anti-sex morality might well suffer decreases in potency as well. Since public on upper levels at Flag occasionally get hit with these things, there might well be some such negative side effects due to going there regularaly. But I would expect it to be ethics rather than doing the levels that creates this.
I find it hard to imagine harm coming about through something such as self clearing where there is nobody forcing the person or applying any pressure.
But the application of many of the policies within the CofS often have obvious and highly detrimental side effects which are totally ignored by the membership. This is why there are so many footbullet stories about the CofS. They have an inability to confront the possibility that anything within the subject might have any negative effects whatsoever.
---
By the way, I like your use of the term "backtracking". I don't know if you coined it or whether it is a side effect of translations between German and English but the term is not used among US Scientologists and it has a nice ring to it. So I thank you for suggesting this word.
Note that in Dianetics, the PC is allowed to run whatever he finds rather than being pushed into any specific theory of what should be found on the track. In practice I ran many people on this and most past life incidents did not seem to be on Earth. Unfortunately, there is no formal step to establish the location of the incident in standard dianetics (I think that one should be added).
And there is no correlation of what is found by the various PCs. So there is no mapping of the backtrack beyond what is in Hubbard's early (1952) materials.
It would be interesting to know if more than 12 percent of the Dianetic PCs find incidents more than a few hundred years ago on Earth. But these kind of statistics are not calculated.
In my experience, much wishful speculation and inaccurate recollections of being Julius Ceasar or whatever occurs early on in processing and then tends to fade and be discarded as a person continues to advance.

Of course. The super duper world conspiracy which tells me what to write. The CofS knows it must be that way because OSA tells Justin and company what to write.

Yes.
But note that the above 3 hit the organization from inside and raise doubts all the way up to the top.
The CAN, IRS, and German situations only hit them from outside. The membership likes the IRS deduction and they don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. They think that the German government is suppressive, and as far as CAN goes, they feel that the org has won against a bunch of evil SPs even if it had to do some slimy things in the process.
So these second 3 do not shake their resolve. But the first three are killers to any loyalist. With those the organization must either reform or crumble.
And if you add in 3 more internal footbullets, namely the Golden Age loyalty checks, the new price increase, and the guarantee that ethics will become more and more rabid as the stats continue to crash, then their current postion becomes hopeless.
They are already in check and I see a forced mate within a few moves, depending on how much they sacrifice to buy time.

There are many possibilities.
1. Management could orchestrate a sane reform and turnover of power. Miscaviage would have to be removed from control, but he could retire gracefully and still have the Church's protection. New policy could be issued based on various loopholes that I have been quoting (especially on the Reformer's homepage - those are all valid LRH quotes which can be verified including "auditors of the world arise"). I would hope that they would follow my points for reform because otherwise they will be back in the soup next year.
2. Or there could be an internal coup forcing the current leadership from power. It could be gentile (Miscaviage removed for incompetance by majority vote of the next lower echelon) or violent (I don't advocate the use of R2-45, but it is within the realm of possibility) or somewhere in between (real or false testimony about Ron's death and the forged documents etc.). Or perhaps Miscaviage will flee as the pressure mounts.
3. Or there could be a massive splintering. Someone has suggested that there are leagle precedents for a church (such as a CofS org) winning the ownership of its facilities and joint use of copyrights when it splintered from the mother church. This is different from the previous splintering of missions into the freezone because they would have joint use of the copyrights and could themselves sell tech volumes and authorize NOTS distribution over the interenet and so forth.
Or maybe the courts will step in and force them to unbundle as happened to IBM and AT&T, which would have the same effect as above.
4. The final choice is that they continue on in their blind manner and successfully suppress any rebellions. In that case I think that their tech staff will evaporate fairly rapidly. They can't take another mass exodus like the ones that happened with Mayo and Capt Bill, and this one will be worse. With the far better communications provided by the internet, and so much in the press, and Ron no longer around, the membership will follow the tech people and leave the org high and dry.
In that case, the official CofS will collapse into a small fanatic organization that reads KSW (perhaps in Latin) at their sunday services and shouts "Hip Hip Hurrah" ritually in between prayers (called group postulates) for Ron's second comming.
I think that its close. They certainly wouldn't last out the century, they may not even last until Spring.
My personal pick is for March 21. Please have that duly recorded in the ARSCC betting pool.

Jerry Seinfield did the communication course at the Bayshore mission in Long Island.

Of course, but it is the word clearing or otherwise having one person jamb something down another's throat.
Reading Class 8 stuff is not going to screw somebody up. But doing the original Class 8 course and getting tossed over the side of the ship every time you failed to be literal minded enough about the Class 8 materials is a different matter entirely.
I can imagine that somebody could be disturbed for a few days or even have a nightmare from reading something or seeing a movie. I can even imagine laughing so hard that you start rolling around on the floor.
But that is all. The real loonie making activites require active work by one person against another or the use of actual force.
Reading about the lower conditions and penalties is not going to put you in the looney bin. Being raked over the coals by an Ethics officer who is applying those conditions to you is where the real trouble comes in.

Reading Xenu jokes is also proven to introduce fits of hysterical laughter. Perhaps this is psychosomatic and was part of the implant.
- the implant is booby trapped. If anyone finds out about it they will die laughing -
Maybe this is how the CofS will save the situation. A new discovery that the implant contained a command to die laughing, and the reaction can be observed although people usually live through it because it has lost its strength over the centuries.
By the way, where are these seizure inducing cartoons? Maybe we could make somebody look at them as a penalty for lower conditions?

It doesn't really rhyme in any form of English. It does, however, rhyme in Marcabian.

==========
A most excellent idea.
The logistics of gathering all tech and making it available to all are enourmous. But it should be done. And any effort in this direction will be of great value.
Now the first question that comes to mind is "what is a bridge?". I assume that you mean all the references necessary to audit all the way up.
Here we have the problem of the public reference vs the complete reference with all background.
---
A modern set of Academy packs and tape transcripts would be a start. But when we add in the C/S series and specialist rundowns (ext/int etc.), we are pretty much talking about a full set of tech volumes and many of the BC tapes as well.
---
For the clearing course, we have the public reference, by which I mean the platens and the CC instruction booklet and the two tape transcripts (pattern of the bank and mastery of GPMs) that are on the internet. And we have the HCOBs on power and grade 6 also available on the internet. We are only missing a transcript of the CC film as far as the references given to anybody on grades 5 to Clear.
But the background theory is on a set of Staff Clearing Tapes (SHSC) from 1964-5 which are totally unavailable anywhere and are not even known to people who have done the Class 8 course. I have asked ex-Flag class 8s about these and nobody has heard them. Rumor has it that there is a set in a locked closet at ASHO and one would assume the same for all the other advanced orgs, but even their solo C/Ses don't apparantly train on the actual theory underlying the CC and power.
And the more complete theory on implants and GPMs is really the entire BC tapes, which are around here and there in the freezone but which are not on the net.
---
For OT levels, when we include the various versions of OT 1 etc., OT 2 and 3, and the old 4-7 (which are short) in addition to a NOTS pack, we really have all versions of the OT levels that were issued. The only weak area is OT 2 where a few of the last chapters are missing.
---
If we look at the old (1975) tech volumes, they are done in a complete manner including tracking all the revisions, so this is a totality of all bridges up to that point.
The new set has the more modern references but looses all the historical track.
So both sets are needed.
---
At maximum, there are also all the old tapes, including the transcripts in the R&D volumes.
This is the real background theory on old OT 5 to 7, but it is tons more material, representing enough stuff to yield dozens of OT levels if arranged in modern style. There is some point in the late 60s when Ron says that all the levels above OT 3 are already there in the 1950s material.
There are about 2900 tapes and somewhere between 300 and 400 of them are in R&D volumes 1 to 12 covering the time from 1950 to mid 1952. The really interesting stuff only begins around volume 10 as Ron gets into the OT area instead of stuggling with early Dianetics.
Here is a brief summary of tapes.
Big LRH Lecture Series's (20+ tapes)
These are in hours rather than a count of lectures since some of the ACCs number by half hour. Note that the modern (SHSBC etc.) lectures are 1 1/2 hours. The counts are approximate based on a quick glance at the Flag master list of tapes and include suppelmental lectures etc.
The new names for those sets that are on casset are listed to the right.
1952 HCL 36 T88 38 ---- * end of R&D 12 ---- LPC 29 PDC 76 Philadelphia Doctorate Course 1953 SPRL 20 1ACC 83 Exteriorization & Phenomena of Space 2ACC 73 PHC 42 1954 3ACC 77 4ACC 78 5ACC 30 Universes 6ACC 50 7ACC 33 some are in the Phoenix Lectures 8ACC 33 CofHA lectures 9ACC 22 UC 21 1955 PLPS 25 4LACC 50 1956 HPCA 21 15ACC 26 Power of Simplicity 1957 16ACC 29 Anatomy of Cause 17ACC 31 LCHNR 20 Radiation 18ACC 25 Illusion or Truth 1958 19ACC 38 20ACC 37 5LACC 23 1959 SHPA 26 Skills of a Theta Being 1MACC 32 Responsibility & State of OT 1960 SHACC 25
1961-66 SHSBC 447 SHSC 29 (confidential) Class 8 19 (confidential)
total about 1700
Short famous sets: T80, SOP, 10ACC, 21ACC, 22ACC, 3SA-ACC FEBC, ESTO, XDN, SO ASMC & many congresses etc. (note that T80 is now "route to infinity")
Note that the 11th to 14th American ACCs and unmentioned London and South African ACCs were not given by Ron.
Many of the current sets of cassets (such as the Freedom Congress) are not listed in the above because they fall below the 20+ size limit that I used to keep the list short.
Excluding the tapes on the SHSBC and in the R&D volumes, there are about 2000 tapes from the 1950s. About 700 of these are available on casset with transcripts. A different 600 or so were available up though the early 1980s on Reels (and also about 200 of the ones that are now on casset). About 700 have not been available in modern times.
Note that the old Reels were selections from various lecture series (such as a dozen at random from the 1st ACC) whereas the new style is to do complete series, but very few have been done so far.
Some of the 700 that have not been sold in modern times could be found in archives at the various orgs and some can be found in the freezone from old timer's collections. Gold has most of these but takes its time about releasing each new set because they are expensive and the market can't bear too many at once.
There are also notes or old transcripts of some of the 700 unavailable tapes that are floating around in the field and freezone.
As to the 3rd ACC which I talk about occasionally (it is the last series in the original OT research and is the most advanced one that Ron ever did), I have heard less than 20 of the tapes. But there is an excellent set of ACC Course notes on this ACC (about 2 inches thick) that has been available in xerox form in the field (and was probably available at the orgs until the practice of selling notes was forbidden in the 1960s). I checked these against the lectures that I had on reels and they compare favorably, getting all important points and processing commands verbatim.
The Class 8 tapes would be especially welcome since I have not heard all of these.
---------------
Note that the OT Hatting courses given on the flagship just consist of listening to one of the sets of cassettes with a few clay demos (like the OT doctorate course).
There are many of these hatting courses, corresponsing to different sets of tapes. Mostly they concentrate on small sets of tapes because the price increases proportionately when longer sets are used and it makes it hard to sell the course and takes them longer to deliver the course.
As far as I know, there is no actual application of the data on the tapes when somebody does one of the OT hatting courses. They wouldn't actually run the processes.
---------------
Unfortunately, the CofS never had a good book on how to do modern auditing. It is studied by jumping around from one reference to another, mostly SHSBC stuff both in the tech volumes and on tapes.
Filbert's book is an excellent textbook on lower level auditing as it was delivered in 1967 with updates based on later materials but doing everything in the 1967 style.
Or maybe I should call this the pre-standard tech style. This is the way that auditing was done from the time when the grades were released (1965) until the arrival of the Class 8s in late 1968. Geoffrey upgraded it with what seemed right and ignored other elements of the original standard tech (which did, after all, make a mess of the subject - quickies and things like that). As such, he presents a synthesis that never quite existed in the orgs but would have if the 8 course had not been such as mess.
His upper levels are not CofS. I think that his platen with "to create perfect affinity" and so forth is a valid platen, but it is not the one that CofS uses (which I believe is also a valid implant platen).
--------------
Since Filbert's and my books are already available from multiple websites, I wouldn't worry about them for now.
Collecting together all the upper level material from the net would be helpful to people. Besides the Nots pack, the biggest collection is in scamizdat 11 which is pretty much cumulative of all the earlier scamiz sets.
The biggest boon would be to scan in the tech volumes.
The 1975 tech volumes have 12 volumes at about 600 pages each with about 900 words per page. This totals to about 7200 pages and would be about 40 megabytes in txt format.
The new tech volumes have about 18 volumes at about 600 pages each with about 700 words per page. This totals to about 10800 pages and would be about 45 megabytes in txt format.
The SHSBC cassets include transcripts with about 12 tapes per book at about 300 pages each with about 800 words per page. This would be about 11000 pages and about 55 MB in txt format.
The 12 new R&D volumes each have about 800 pages with about 450 words per page. This would be about 9600 pages and about 28 MB.
The 700 or so other 1950s cassets that are available with transcripts would probably be another 50 MB or so.
Throwing in another 30 MB (guess) for the books, this gives us about 250 MB. Easy enough to fit on a single CD Rom (and with enough room left for the other 100 MB or so of tapes that we don't yet have transcripts for).
--------------
On 31 Dec 97, fun@thingy.apana.org.au (David Gerard) replied to an earlier post of mine about putting the tech on CDROM. The subject was "Super Scio - TO VINCE ABOUT LOST TECH"
:CD recorders are in the several-hundred-dollars range.
:
:Lots of home computers have several hundred meg spare which can be used
:quite easily for CD-ROM mastering.
:
:Blank CDs are a few dollars.
:
:The hard part is getting it all into electronic form. Making CDs from it is
:cheap and *easy*.
He is quite correct, the price has come way down on making your own CDs.
The scanning from book form can be done using a flatbed scanner and OCR (optical character recognition) software that usually comes with good scanners. This gives you the book in computer text format. From there it can be put on a CDROM or posted to the net.
Just getting the 1975 tech volumes scanned in might take 30 to 40 hours of page turning (about the same work as photocopying the document) and would yield a 40 MB text file as mentioned earlier.
But this all by itself would be a tremendous boon to the freezone and would be another step on the road towards liberating the tech.
------------
But I really wish that Gold would get moving and do this for us. I believe that they already have it all in electronic format including the tapes that are unavilable.
Unfortunately, the CofS tends to be very far behind the times technically. They rejected the very idea of using computers until the late 1970s. They kept issuing tapes on reels for a decade after the recording industry had gone to cassettes. And whatever they do will be geared for monopoly pricing and getting the maximum bucks that the market will bear.
Policy and management get in their way every time they try to change or take advantage of something new.
Despite all the early breakthoughs, sometimes they act like the Amish of metaphysics.
------------
I really like your idea of getting all the tech available on the web.
Don't worry about the total volume of material involved. Just do something and trust that others will do something too.
Somebody said that they had scanned in the PDC transcripts not too long ago. Hopefully they will get in touch with you so that the work doesn't have to be repeated.
If you do scan in some large work, be sure to distribute it to a number of locations immediately so that it can't all be taken out with a single raid.

subj : Super Scio Tech - Working the Self Clearing Book
WORKING WITH THE SELF CLEARING BOOK
I have been working through the self clearing book myself.
As I have said elsewhere, I myself could be thought of as somebody who has done a light and sloppy pass on the entire book and who is ready to do a second run through and make a thorough job of it.
Some beginners might actually need two times through the book to reach the point that I'm at now, but many who have gotten a lot of previous auditing or been working on their own in the freezone might reach this point fairly quickly.
So I think it is valuable to record my experiences as I push these processes to the limit.
I have been going along carefully, starting with the very first process and doing everything in a precise manner.
I have been violating what professional Scientologists would call programming of cases (or mixing practices) by also continuing to work other experimental areas occasionally, as you can see from my post on Homer's writeup on "The Proof".
This has not caused any trouble, but I do not do the two things at the same time. In other words, I will sit down and spend some time working the book and not fool around with other experimental things while I do that.
At this point I am up to the middle of chapter 6.
I have run many of these processes before. This area of the book deals with recall processes or what Scientology sometimes refers to as "straightwire". I was run on the "ARC Straightwire" expanded grade back in the 1970s. And I have run Ron's self analysis book (which also addresses this area) more than once. In other words, I have already had tons of processing on this subject, and some of these kind of processes have even been overrun on me at various times in the past.
With one exception, every process ran again without overrun and to a new level of depth, reaching areas that had previously been unaccessible and producing big gains and cognitions.
The one exception was the "think about Matter/Energy/Space/Time" process in chapter 4, which turned on immediate overrun phenomena (I started yawning like crazy). Not only was this originally run (to a nice win) on me when I received the straightwire grade years ago, but it is something I have done a lot since then. My theory here is that it is already down to maximum depth for my current case state and therefore overruns when I try to push it deeper.
The handling was simply to spot the first time I went release on it, which turned off the overrun feeling.
When I did section 4.2 agree/disagree, I decided that a second process would be helpful in the area and added
--- 4.2.2
Pick an idea such as "The Earth is Flat" and alternately agree and disagree with it until you feel in control. Then pick another one and repeat. The ideas can be true or false or things that you are unsure of. Continue until you have real freedom of thought and can think for yourself. ----
On 5.13, I felt that a 4th command should be added to the set as follows:
d) think of a time when another taught somebody something successfully
----
Note that both of these are enhancements rather than essentials.
I also felt that I should add a note somewhere in either chapter 4 or at the begining of chapter 6 to the effect that one should concentrate on spotting precise moments when running recalls instead of simply having vague ideas. This is another one of these "everybody knows" type assumptions that some beginners might miss.
-----
I'm actually surprised at how far some of these processes are going.
I am certain at this point that the overrun phenomena is nothing more than trying to take one area too deep while too many other areas remain unhandled at that level of depth.
You need to dust off areas and take your wins and move on to other things. But you can keep coming back and pushing these things further. And that means that the theoretical super gains can be attained eventually.
Total recall is light years beyond a low level straighwire recall release as achieved in ordinary Scientology grades, but deeper second and third stage releases on the same processes keep carrying you forward towards that potential end product.
Looking towards a bright future,
