Go Back
In order for the character of a human being to reveal truly exceptional qualities, we must have the good fortune to observe its action over a long period of years. If this action is devoid of all selfishness, if the idea that directs it is one of unqualified generosity, if it is absolutely certain that it has not sought recompense anywhere, and if moreover it has left visible marks on the world, then we are unquestionably dealing with an unforgettable character.

Heady concept: "freedom"

Heady concept: "freedom"

LRH in his brash sloppy ignorance redefines words extensively, witness the Tech and Admin dictionaries, chock full of absurdly high-sounding grossly inadequate and odd redefinitions.

When I supervised courses, the smarter administrative trainees repeatedly politely suppressed their disbelief at LRH's inadequate and oddball thoughts that are presented as definitions in those dictionaries.

LRH is a compulsive no-answerer, weaver of false hopes, misdirector off valid criticism of his ideas, and offers inane concepts of "freedom" and makes — through his penalty rules — his faithful to buy into his world of requisite conformity to his views, or else faithful are penalized, his prolific array of misdemeanors, crimes and high crimes that faithful must dodge or be ultimately ousted and excommunicated never to get a shot at LRH's claims of "freedom."

Scientology is a one-man-band self-contained self-enforced faulty system, that validates faithful adherents for being "on source" and penalizes followers for being "off source."

There are so overwhelming numbers of crimes and penalties LRH wrote for being off-source, out-tech, out-ethics, other-intentioned, false-data-prone, evil-purposed, other-fish-to-fry, squirrel. The longer one reads LRH, the more the "channels" for keeping in ethics appear out of his writings to keep one going right down HIS idea of how to get to "freedom."

LRH's "research" proved LRH's conclusions were correct, and thus the errors and faults are NEVER with LRH.

It is now permanently set up, no altering of it all is allowed. Followers stay "on source" or they fall off the bridge, and won't get their "freedom."

Keeping Scientology Working more and in Safeguarding Technology policy letters say it about as clearly as any policies.

That's LRH's road to freedom and truth.

Challenging LRH directly on his claims is suppressive, about as suppressive as one can be.

Yet, that is what unfortunately is the real truth, and the real freedom that an individual gives up, when they go into LRH's world.

One is punished for disagreeing too harshly with LRH.

That's wrong. One loses one's freedom when LRH's rules punish one for disagreeing with LRH.

LRH's ideas lead to LRH's definition of freedom, which works for those in tune with LRH's world of ideas that align with LRH's views on freedom for mankind.

Scientologists become faithful Scientologists and gain the group comraderie and friendship by concluding for themselves that LRH's views are rock solid facts, and the group and LRH validate those that do so.

The higher one rises in the movement, the more of LRH's writings and orders one gets exposed to. Int staff get exposed to even greater volumes of LRH's opinions about administrative details of all aspects of the bureaucracies and his plans for all of the whole Scientology movement and LRH's grand goals.

Same pattern over and over, people get word cleared, false data stripped, audited, disagreement checks (remember them? used to be part of the Danger Condition Handling), their out-ethics why's found, service facs handled, and if you are "bad" enough and utter some "false vilification of a well intentioned person" you become RPF more bait and are headed for the "Truth Rundown" (doubt you will know of that great tech, but you must have heard of it, it is what gets you 180 degrees reversed on any disaffection and "black propaganda" you might have uttered or communicated in some way.

LRH's tech and ethics writings lead a faithful follower to align their views with LRH's views, and when that is done, all is well.

Lost in this shuffle is one's freedom to be honestly in disagreement with LRH, as that's not an LRH allowed option.

It's off source to be off source. And being in disagreement with "good" LRH ideas leads to cramming, ethics, auditing, sec checking, false purpose rundown, Truth Rundown, false data stripping, more of the above, ousting, excommunication, etc., in various combinations and sequences.

LRH's unstated views are that his views about it all are the best mankind has come up with in all of history.

That is NOT born out when one compares the 56 years so far of the Scientology movement to reality.

That's again why I suggest Roadrunner get a few Sunday New York Times, and read them cover to cover, or get a 3 month subscription.

Compare the ideas being tossed around, in the NY Times Book Review, in the NY Times Magazine, in the NY Times Week In Review, in the other sections of the Sunday NY Times, and do that for a couple months. Get a grip of the ideas and minds that are dealing with the world's problems, and the discussions about the major issues of today.

Compare how those people talked about are dealing and writing books about life.

It is quite humbling when you do this. LRH will be brought down to size if one does what I suggest.

Long time Scientologists usually realize things are NOT going the way LRH claimed they would be, and they usually come to terms with LRH's decades of hype about his ideas and usually they admit the lack of results, and get a glimpse of how things are NOT turning out as grandly as LRH hopefully says they will if people just "follow" his "carefully marked path."

It is no shame to recognize the world as it really is, and see LRH in correct perspective.

It's pretty simple to do so, just start reading a bit outside the box, and the New York Times Sunday edition is a good start.
