Hubbard's blueprint for Scientology

[Veda]

Here's Hubbard's mission statement, written to his first wife (nickname Skipper) in the wake of his having written Excalibur, at the birth of Scientology, in 1938. It sheds some light on the ruthlessness, in Scientology, and Hubbard's self-aggrandizing "real goal."

A "real goal" that was cemented in place by convincing Scientologists that LRH = (pleasant) Survival! for "endless trillions." (And, later, towards the end, when Hubbard was running out of gimmicks, for "eternity" - thirty years earlier, prior to his implementing his "religion angle," Hubbard had ridiculed the Catholic church for using the word "eternity" as a control mechanism.)

Hubbard had made SURVIVE! the central pillar of his proposed psychological-political movement in 1938. "Not for what but just to survive." Very Darwinian.

He also made himself the center of this proposed movement and was determined to "smash [his] name into history." According to him, that was his "real goal."

Years later he wrote in Axiom Ten that, "The highest purpose in the universe is the creation of effect."

Any effect was better than no effect.

This was reinforced by convincing people that their futures for the next "endless trillions" depended on him or his surrogates.

Hubbard's base motivations are woven into Scientology.

Scientology Inc.'s dictator is dwarfed by the giant LRH monogram.
(If the giant LRH monogram ever became detached and fell, it would crush Miscavige.
Even Styrofoam, if there's enough of it, has a lot of weight.) ​

In 1938, Hubbard had written:

"I have high hopes of smashing my name into history so violently that it it will take a legendary form...
That goal is the real goal as far as I am concerned.
Things which stand too consistently in my way make me nervous.
It's a pretty big job.
In a hundred years Roosevelt will have been forgotten - which gives some idea of the magnitude of my attempt.
And all this boils and froths inside my head."

Scientologists give a standing ovation to the giant L. Ron Hubbard signature.

Happy Hubbard fan(atic) club members gather beneath the giant LRH monogram.

A little more from the 1938 Skipper letter:

"Living is a pretty grim joke but a joke just the same. The entire function of man is to survive. Not for 'what' but just to survive... I turned the thing up so it's up to me to survive in a big way. Personal immortality is is only to be gained through printed word, barred note or painted canvas or hard granite."


Personal immortality is different from plain immortality, in that memory would be intact.

Hubbard sold personal immortality and "OT" ("Operating Thetan," psychic, superhuman) abilities to Scientologists, but he ridiculed the idea of using "OT" abilities in his 1973 Confidential, Intelligence, Its Role.

And nowhere in the thousands of pages of internal confidential Scientology Intelligence Tech, and related confidential cloak and dagger material, is there any mention of using "OT" abilities in spying, etc.

Hubbard was preoccupied with the preservation of his "name and image" in perpetuity. Why would that be so important, if he had personal - knowing - immortality, he could just "come back"?

"Psychiatrists, reaching the high of the dusty desk, tell us that Alexander and Genghis Khan and Napoleon were madmen. I know they're maligning some very intelligent gentlemen... ..I can make Napoleon look like a punk..." Hubbard, 1938

"...I can make Captain Bligh look like a Sunday school teacher..." Hubbard, 1967

*​

From Hubbard's late 1946/early 1947 Admissions/Affirmations:

"Your psychology is advanced and true and wonderful. It hypnotizes people.
It predicts their emotions, for you are their ruler."

*

One of the early Sea Org members, John Ausley, described Hubbard:

"[He] liked gathering a whole group together under any cause, then assigning them roles as characters and watch them act out his own books. He assigned them character roles: 'You're a this, or this.' "

​

Hubbard's swerves and plot twists were often influenced by behind the scenes events. For example, Hubbard hypnotized himself with the words of his 1946/1947 Affirmations (admitted to, in court, by Scientology attorneys), sometimes using drugs (such as phenobarbital) while doing so; when Sara (wife #2) was divorcing him in 1951, he then wrote about drug-hypnosis in the book Science of Survival. This was followed by him telling people that Sara had been drugged-hypnotized by the Russians.

Hubbard had a falling out with former business partner, Don Purcell, who he had swindled. Purcell was a "one lifetime" 1950 Dianeticist. According to Hubbard's book editor, John Sanborn, Hubbard invented "sixty trillion years" of whole track" just to bug Purcell.

Then there's Hubbard's invention of Xenu and Incident 1 and Incident 2, during the aftermath of his humiliating experiences in southern Africa. On original ESMB, posters Darth and Alan Walter, both student on the first Class Eight course, described how the sights and sounds of Las Palmas became imprinted on the drugged Hubbard's consciousness and then regurgitated as Incident 1 and Incident 2.

This is the symbol of the Church Of Spiritual Technology (COST) which is senior to Scientology Inc.

It has an uncanny resemblance to the KOOL cigarette logo

KOOLs in foreground, circa 1969

And there's David Mayo (former senior "Tech" person and Hubbard's personal auditor) writing that Hubbard changed the middle grade chart in 1978 for PR and marketing purposes, after the traumatic FBI raids of July 1977 (after his cloak & dagger criminal network had been exposed), during yet another mental and physical breakdown.

And there are many more examples.

How much of Scientology is the reassembling - dream-like - of impressions in Hubbard's mind?, or the result of accidents or upsets, or petty quarrels?, or whims? All of which become "factual facts" for Scientologists?

And that, added to the shallow, base, self-aggrandizing "real goal," makes for a nice insane subject.

But it's not all bad , for example, here's some music that was inspired by its positive outer coating:

And, later, towards the end, when Hubbard was running out of gimmicks, for "eternity" - thirty years earlier, prior to his implementing his "religion angle," Hubbard had ridiculed the Catholic church for using the word "eternity" as a control mechanism.

wow, that's a pretty clear example of how he did just the things he derided others for.

what i notice is that in KSW i think it is, he has a sour note about how he once expected the scn might be something that more than one person could collaborate on, but finally came to the conclusion he would have to work things out -- i think actually a mix of his own difficulty working with others, and the fact that the 'subject' and his approach to it is too amorphous and unscientific to ever come to real consensus about, ruined a vision he had of at least a small group of 'big beings' along the lines of Crowley's Abbey or Parson's Parsonage, leaving him bitter. so i suspect he became more cynical in his view of what he'd have to do and resort to keep his organization together -- i'd say essentially learning the historical lessons he hoped to transcend, of why religions and groups resort to such mechanisms of influence and control over followers.

From the Philadelphia Doctorate Course during December 1952:

"Yap, yap, yap, eternity, eternity, eternity! Hell, there isn't any such thing as time, how the hell can there be an eternity? This is very weird. Eternal, eternal, boy, every time you turn around in this universe, you see eternity, infinity of time. They don't exist!"


From 1953:

"Axiom 43. Time is the primary source of untruth. Time states the untruth of consecutive considerations."


Yet, Scientologists who had studied, had been "checked out" on, and had "clay demoed," and , in many instances, memorized, the revered "Axioms" of Scientology, with many having studied the 1952 "PDC" lectures with appreciative awe, nodded their heads in agreement when Hubbard repeatedly used the "eternity" to frighten them into compliance.

And they really were frightened, and spoke anxiously of not wanting to "lose their eternity," and warned others that they could lose their eternities unless they continued on the "Bridge."

Hubbard substituted the promise OT abilities with the fear of Eternity in Ron's Journal 35, and also the fear of Hubbardian Hell in Ron's Journal 30. In Ron's Journal 35, Hubbard uses the word "eternity" nine times.

FROM CLEAR TO ETERNITY​

As I continue to research, I never cease to be amazed at the amount of gain potentially available to an individual.​

​

There are six rough divisions of case gain.​

​

1. From raw public to a realization Scientology works and should be continued.​

​

2. The realization that, through his auditing, one will not get any worse — an arrested decline.​

​

3. The whole band of gains we call the lower grades. The very least of these gains (and there are many), by pc testimony, is stated to exceed by far any advance in personal gain ever before achieved in any former practice known. (A simple flying of ruds can get more gain that ten years of psychoanalysis!)​

​

4. The band that achieves, in a final burst of glory and freedom, the state of Clear.​

​

5. The pre-OT levels, leading to personal spiritual freedom. These carry up through all New Era Dianetics for OTs (NOTs), audited and Solo. What is amazing here is that each one of these levels, according to rave reports, has, each one, its own spectacular level of gain.​

​

6. The actual OT levels beginning now with New OT VIII and going on up.​

​

According to the spiritual research records and pre-OT and OT reports, the AMOUNT of gain available to one person is never really conceived, in an aberrated state, to potentially exist above him.​

​

It is a never-ending source of wonder to people, going truly on this route, that there could be such QUANTITY of gain available to one being.​

​

Thus in an aberrated state, the person is not likely to turn his eyes up very high and still keep a reality on it.​

​

In the age of speed, people may conceive it all should happen in a minute. Or maybe a minute and a half. Or as the result of a needle jab which will make them free forever.​

​

Alas this universe isn’t built that way.​

​

This universe is based on QUANTITY. There’s an awful lot of it.​

​

The number of electrons in an atom, the number of atoms in a molecule, the number of molecules in a drop of water is awesome arithmetic.​

​

The number of planets in systems, the number of suns in a galaxy, the number of galaxies add up to mind-boggling figures.​

​

TIME, on this very short-lifed and hectic planet, is hardly conceived of at all. Just recently geologists concluded that Man might have been here for a million years. HAH! Little do they know!​

​

The age of this and other universes is very, very long. It is not eternity but almost.​

​

So, without getting into questions as to how long you’ve been around (the brain-theory boys might object since they’re TERRIFIED of spirits), let’s ask this question:​

​

If a being had half an eternity to louse himself up, how loused up could he get?​

​

Right. Go to the head of the class. Plenty!​

​

And you now can get an inkling of how much spiritual gain might be available. And this could explain why, at each one of the six levels, there are so many new gains according to testimonies collected.​

​

All right. Got that? Good.​

​

We now come to the next question, since one and all are being very bright this morning:​

​

If it took a being half an eternity to louse himself up, how long would it take to unlouse him?​

​

Now before your mouth turns down at both sides and before you collapse into apathy considering it, let’s look at the next miracle of Dianetics and Scientology:​

​

It doesn’t take half an eternity. It doesn’t take millennia — though this could be reasonably expected. It doesn’t take centuries. It only takes years.​

​

That’s right. Years.​

​

The above six rough divisions of gains are sort of on an expanding scale.​

​

The first one could take, with an introductory session or assist, maybe half an hour plus a few evenings reading books.​

​

The next level (consisting of formal auditing and Purification), possibly could take a week or two.​

​

The third level, consisting of the lower grades and more books could, due to scheduling of time and all that, consume a month.​

​

The fourth level, depending on the case, might take bit longer. But it can result in “Clear.”​

​

The fifth ban now begins to really lengthen. To become a Solo auditor and go up through the levels to OT III could take months. And through OT III can stretch out considerably. And then audited NOTs and Solo NOTs really adds time on. The gains at each point of progress can make, according to reports of pcs, progress at the lower end look like inches. Yet the lowest of these bands is above any progress Man had made before.​

​

Now when we get to band six, get ready for a long haul. It won’t happen in a minute.​

​

So what we’re looking at here is time proportional to reported gain.​

​

Once one has gone Clear and gets to Solo, one has to plan one’s time to each day put his auditing time in and just keep at it.​

​

Some balk when they have gone a ways. Life looks too interesting. Or they bog and they are “too busy” to get a repair and get them going again. They are, after all, moving at a much faster pace personally — their interests may have multiplied.​

​

But if they will just keep at it and make the arrangements necessary to be able to do it, according to the rave reports, it is very worthwhile.​

​

So what is one really looking at? The higher the level, the longer the time — because one is handling a higher band of potential gain.​

​

And what is one rising to, after all?​

​

One is rising to eternity.​

​

You think time is behind you?​

​

Have another thought. Look AHEAD. There’s eternity!​

​

And you’ll be in it.​

​

You’ll be in it in a good state or a bad one. Really, I am sorry to have to tell you, there’s no choice. One may be able to step off the planet. One isn’t going to step off life.​

​

In this time and in this place — for possibly just a little while — we have this chance. To go free and to make it. Planets and cultures are frail things. They do not endure.​

​

I cannot promise you that you will make it. I can only provide the knowledge and give you your chance.​

​

The rest is up to you.​

​

I strongly advise you to work hard at it — don’t waste this brief breath in eternity.​

​

For that is your future — ETERNITY.​

​

It will be good for you or bad.​

​

And for you, my dearest friend, I’ve done what I could to make it good for you.​

​

L. RON HUBBARD​

Founder​

Church of Scientology​

​

​

Thirty years earlier, Hubbard had ridiculed the idea of repeated use of the word eternity, as a control mechanism.​

​

This was an old pattern for Hubbard. He'd tell his followers of something done by bad people (the enemy), and then turnaround and do that same thing to his followers. They, of course, would be caught completely off guard and would be defenseless.​

​

​

Hubbard had also ridiculed the Christian idea of "hell."​

From Ron's Journal 30: "But there was one discovery in 1978 that I haven't said very much about and am really not likely to since it is a sad thing. It is what really happens to a thetan who is not salvaged or processed and goes on down the chute. Man, when I saw that and knew it to be true I actually felt sorry for these guys that try to hit at us. Poor devils. Some religions talk about hell. It's an understatement of what really happens."

I wish I could find it, Veda, because I read it.

He always lectured about the low and reverse responsibility of psychs and their claim on their failed cases that if they just would've gotten the subject sooner then everything would've been averted as an obvious example of their failure - "their" being the whole psych industry.

Then, there's actual policy that Scientology's public statement on anyone who spins who is a Scientologist or receiving processing the policy is to state "if Scientology would've gotten the subject sooner then everything would've been averted".

Can't find it and don't have the gumption to slug through encyclopedia sets to find it.

Perhaps someone can make a list of recycled ideas and techniques that are potentially beneficiary outside a cult environment, and a list of harmful recycled ideas and techniques .

Much of the totalitarian "woke" mentality is an echo of the "dark side" of Scientology.

Very true.

If one were to see it the policies that Hubbard puts out to fair game someone are the exact same methods that people like Maxine Waters and Sean King express.

Hubbard has in policy how to dox someone...how to harass their employer so as to get them fired...how to smear their reputation so as to erode and eliminate their public support...their ability to get employed...how to ruin them utterly...how to report them to authorities and the use of lawsuits to harass and drain them financially.

One time, many moons ago I used to manage a practice that had a client who was a young leftist. In one casual conversation on a lazy afternoon this client told me with great relish the measures employed to attack and ruin someone who slighted this person - maybe an ex-employer, I can't remember. This person used the internet to sign up their target on all these porn and sex sites that sent free samples and had them sent to the target's place of employment, the target's spouse, the target's home and the schools that the target's children attended - every place that the target familiarized.

Shame tech...character assassination tech...manufactured crime tech.

The story went on and on and on. Very dark, very morally bankrupt...deviant. A tremendous amount of time and energy was expended in this "get even" attack. The original slight was a nothing burger.

Yeah. Hubbard was a church going family man patriot for God and country.

Seditious cults prey on all of those things.

Despite any attempt to balance right vs left there's a distinctive massive lopsided cult influence from the left and it's exactly like not only Maoist China but also like the environment fostered under Scientology.

MSN

In Scientology one had to be very careful to self-monitor for "entheta"..."natter"...any and all criticisms. This became costly in terms of money and time and social isolation. Ethics and Qual and Sec Checks at one's own expense...to get labeled as a "nattery case" was "withholdy", etc.

Same control is being manifested in college campuses not only here in the U.S. but across all of Western Civ and it's all progressive leftism cult stuff.

There may very well be examples and such from the right but to draw attention there or deflect to there is exactly what Scientology cult apologists do when faced with Scientology criticism. In addition, when treating an accident victim it's very true that a developing heart disease may kill the patient in 30 years but you treat the rib fracture that's punctured the lung on the spot. Right now, globally, the rib fractured punctured lung is the progressive left cult that's not only similar too but exactly like the black ops fair gaming of Scientology totalitarianism.
