Well...I'm an idiot.
I'm not a Scientologist and I'm not practicing any tech or anything like that. There's no processing or auditing or anything of that nature. I don't advocate any form of Scientology or Hubbard to anyone.
I think there's a tremendous amount of things in Scientology that are workable concepts.
The problem is that everything that was discovered/revealed/found was twisted and perverted by Hubbard as a form to control and manipulate people as "slaves" or whatever the hell the psycho did.
Admin definitions are laser precise and I've personally witnessed tons of behavioral changes with auditing and some physical changes that are directly due to this stuff. I've had wins that continue to this day and I find beneficial and appreciate.
ARC/KRC the Tone Scale, the Comm Cycle and tons of other findings are good concepts and come from keen and astute observations.
It's this workability and positive applications that make the whole trap to begin with.
I don't know how much, if any, of this stuff Hubbard came up with or if he was merely the catalyst that brought in all these people who did the findings and then he latched onto it and turned it into methods of manipulation. I don't know.
The idea of isolating consciousness for study and noting its attributes and all that is great.
Many of these concepts are great...many of the scales and all that are great.
But the net effect was a tremendously negative experience and makes none of it worth it.
Had this been an honest exploration and endeavor one can only imagine.
I do recommend that people read Dianetics for the simple fact that it clearly gives the message that it's not OK to be fucked up. In today's world everybody is in a rush to be a PTSD gender fluid victim and Dianetics clearly gives the message that being a reactive victim is not a good thing.
The same thing for Science of Survival. Being low-toned, being a problem, mocking up low-toned and problems isn't something to aspire to. This isn't the source of artistry.
The idea of being "interesting" instead of "interested" is a great thing to learn. The "introverted"/"extroverted" Tech Dictionary stuff...the "PC Type A"/"PC Type B" and things of this nature are good for people to read and understand.
Yeah...it would really have been something worthwhile had this been an honest thing to begin with.
But this is something that all cults have. Many cults have basic concepts that are good. A loving god, for instance.
How do you remove the cult from the cult?
