Hats,
To be affected in the manner you describe there must be agreements which leave you, or Ogger, vulnerable; and there also needs to be a lack of magickal training. Then the group mind of scientology can successfully attack. To defend, the important part is to power-up and seal your aura. You learn this in Magick. Hubbard didn't teach it, though as an OTO initiate he certainly knew how. Gee, did he deliberately leave his followers vulnerable? ;-P
Where's Veda?

Hubbard most definitely knew his followers were being dumbed down. LoL, Nibs said so in 1983's Penthouse mag!

I was just beginning to read
The Oddest Inkling, about one of Ron's ilk, Charles Williams. This Oxford group of the sci fi having occult currents, included and debated with the Christian apologists. They boasted a similar atmosphere as in Renaissance times when you could be burned at the stake....i
n their very exact location of study, lol
Hubbard tried to get his foothold in a similar time of distrust between growing 1950s Catholicism and atheist viewpoints of Modernism and the Beat movements. He tried to win both sides of the coin without having a career ended. Clandestine beliefs on how a person competes for the upper hand, manipulating elements of their material world, were not disclosed. Whether their secret tenets were fundamental truths or personal considerations, it was advisable not to lay oneself open to attack.

On the 9th of July, 1915, Waite “consecrated the Salvator Mundi Temple of the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross.” Waite's Order was supposed to be Christian and mystical, rather than pagan and magical, and it combined elements from Masonic, kabbalistic, alchemical, and Tarotic tradition in its rituals.

Arthur Waite had broken away from the Crowley-ites and founded his own enlightenment group, The Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross. It professed benevolence in uplifting the future of Man. It's adherents had, many of them. already come up the levels and degrees offered in former 'magical. orders. The parallels between Ron's Scientology curriculum and his former involvement was secret. It was group agreement not to reveal rituals or vocalize one's attainments.
The alchemical integration of the opposites in the magical order, took away basic accrued, hard cored, ideas which defined the individual uniquely through his lifetime experiences. Whether through karma busing or ser fac, the person was laid open for his next level of spiritual change....ready to be rewritten. This is the point where wisdom and discernment was necessary. Not KSW which protected the god-like 'programmer'
I'd wager most adherents meeting some early demise, did fail to protect themselves against.....friends! Why in an ambiance of love and brotherhood would you erect protections to bar any breaches upon your personal universe. Mistake. This is what is found in diaries of those involved, who became ill. It seems at the bottom.... the very meat of it. They were driven by jealousies regarding the Individual__ spirit. That there are
'.....shiny new beings, freshly arrived in this universe' ( quote from Ron early 80s?) must've meant a fresh, inexperienced, and naive supply. Maybe, there's some some evil being archetype we unconsciously enable, having in itself, this appetite for available, pure life force.
Ron posited that ARC and ARC breaks, were intrinsically based on withholds at one time. Like one could not even exist without the other. For many, this infallible maxim would end up being incorrect___ chicken or egg analogy. TR 'K' or TR-Kindness or love bombing was not recognized as a tool of the ego-ists.
