			<description><![CDATA[I am still rolling on the floor laughing!!!! This is THE article! The advent of the Golden Age of Tech was the end of my auditor training. I just stopped. I was completely turned off. I cannot recall how many times I HEARD those statements and even SAID them to others.... It's "cult think", my term for all of that junk. Well written and so true. Thank you!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[OTB, One of the most important things you bring out in this one is the 'Scientology doesn't work' point that DM dramatizes and has permeated the Sea Org, whether they like it or not. That's brought out on the RPF assignments and that under DM, that is always sitting there as a black mark. In fact, the RPF Flag Orders state precisly the opposite. One is to return to the post he was RPFed from after the RPF. Again, this invalidates the ethics and tech. It says 'no one can change'. Now, the criminal mind 'only sees others as he sees himself'. DM himself has refused auditing for some 18 years and is by technical definition a 'NO GAIN CASE'. This inval of case gain has gone so far as to re-do the entire Bridge by those on the OT levels as a blanket 'CS' by an 'executive'. This is so much in violation of so many HCOBs, I hardly know where to begin. Suffice it to say, it again proves, DM doesn't think Scientology as written by LRH works. He's even said it blatantly to every Scientologist in the Basics Event. Rollercoaster, making gains and losing them, is PTS. The first step to sorting out PTS is DETECT the right SP. Then 'handle or disconnect'. Therein is the answer to recovery of the valid gains made, a resurgence and rehab of the valid case change. David doesn't want to be detected. Well done OTB, yes, DM doesn't grant that Scientology works. THAT comes from the 'uniquely qualified' COB of RTC, the 'ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion'. HE DOESN'T GRANT THAT SCIENTOLOGY WORKS BECAUSE HE IS A NO GAIN CASE.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you for this post!!! It really blows charge for me. I can understand why the Tom Cruise event made me cringe when he assumed we were not doing anything of worth for Scn. and how it left me feeling so invalidated. I really lost a lot of respect for him at that moment and felt awful for all the staff, public and S.O. members that were working so hard. Jenna Elfman yelling at another event to "DO SOMETHING!!!" also had the same effect on me. Of course DM probally had something to do with that and he used them as Ol's to run this type of suppression on us, but I still hold the two celebs responsible for their actions. Since that time Tom's career has tanked, and he should make up for that blatant inval to all the Scn that were really working so hard to expand Scn despite all that was actually going on.]]></description>

			<title>Prior confusions</title>
			<link>http://www.scientology-cult.com/hidden-standard-suppression-exposed.html#comment-1177</link>
			<description><![CDATA[You're right about hidden standards being a weapon of choice for SP's. However, the hidden standard is a later [censored]enomenon. For a hidden standard to stick, you have to have a prior confusion. Someone has to stir up a bunch of confusion in order to lay in a hidden standard. It works like this: the impulse of theta is order and control (as in KRC, which are native impulses to theta). Knowing this, an SP will create chaos and confusion until a thetan or group of thetans say, "Hey, enough, we need some order here." Then, and only then, can the SP throw in a "solution" to the confusion. Witness what happened after 9/11. The solution comes as a concept or consideration which sticks because it's a lie and persists because it's a lie. Most implants use the same technique. The formula: cause confusion, theta seeks solution to restore order, implant or imprint or suggest a false solution, thetan agrees to the concept to restore order. Voila! You've got the hidden standard. But, to resolve the hidden standard you really have to address why a person agreed to such a whacky idea in the first place, and that lies in the prior confusion. If I remember correctly (it's closing in on thirty years) LRH addresses the prior confusion on one of the Academy Level One tapes--probably the one titled "Prior Confusion"?--if that's the title. Or something to that effect. In one of those tapes, he also mentioned something about mutual motion, which will eventually (though I don't think he said this) explain how one thetan ( a practical static) can impinge confusions and considerations on another thetan (another practical static.)

			<description><![CDATA[Hidden standard? How about impossible standard. With the Golden Age of Tech came the "passing standard is perfection". Auditors are forced to go out integrity in order to pass a course and get a certificate. Since you have attested, errors are now an exercise in introversion and soul searching for personal out- ethics. The search for understanding is short-circuited by " Why can't I be perfect". Auditing with understanding devolves into route procedure and doing what your told.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hidden Standard results in loss of self determinism. This reminded me of something that happened in the early 80's. I was a Div 6 reg and was consistently getting 5-6 starts a week as a result of applying LRH intro lecture and Div 6 policies that had just come out. We had an influx of new "seasoned" recruits from a so. cal organization come in and I was hounded to do their successful actions. I held my ground saying that I was following LRH policy but the hounding was relentless...daily, for months. My senior reported their stats were double what I was getting and I started feeling like I was supressing Scientology by only getting 5-6 starts a week. I eventually caved in and did their successes. My stats immediately crashed and stayed crashed. I ended up leaving staff shortly after that. Two years later someone tells me that I was a great reg. I mentioned the stat conflict and they told me that the so. cal org had 3 reges and their combined efforts were double my single effort. That is when I found out that I had actually been doing pretty well. That is also my first experience in what KSW was all about. I recently opened my Ethics book and was dismayed to see that it naturally fell to the lower conditions sections. During the time that I was on Org staff I did many sets of lowers...I knew them by heart. Yet, the 15+ years prior that I spent as a staff member outside of the org showed a different picture. I routinely applied normal or above and ended my career in Power. In both positions, I gave it my all. The difference between the two is that the non Org position applied "accent on ability". In my non org job I really grew as a being. My certainty and confront was at a real high. I left to go work at the org where ironically, I now routinely got 10 - 12 starts a week (almost 1000 starts a year), something I had strived to do 20 years earlier...and was constantly in lowers.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well written and unfortunately many gave over their own knowingness to this little man. Thank God being who I am with my own knowingness knew this was just not true! any of it. I am referring to the GAT. I had been in marketing for years prior to joining Scientology and one thing I knew when in Marketing when things stop selling you just repackage them and sell them again with a little different twist.]]></description>

			<title>hidden standards and the mess we have</title>
			<link>http://www.scientology-cult.com/hidden-standard-suppression-exposed.html#comment-1172</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Very good points, OTB. That many of these hidden standards, and probably a good deal more, have been implanted as a culture of the Sea Org gives me scant hope that any real reform can come from within. Even with DM deposed, many of those left in the Sea Org will continue to try to operate within this learned culture, rather than HCOBs, etc. It is discouraging, but pragmatic to confront this. While it is encouraging that good auditors are, and have been, continuing to audit out in the field, it is important to try to salvage the orgs so that auditor training can continue post DM. Auditors aren't being created in any volume now and if the C of S collapse, (which appears likely) the remaining orgs have to be reoriented to their purpose: to create friggin' auditors and clears! No new (standard) auditors = no more scientology in a generation or so.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Another well written article, OTB! I'd also like to add that many of these hidden standards are also false data as well and can also act like a wrong item or wrong indication. For instance telling a Sea Org member that he or she is "off purpose" or "out ethics" is just so wrong that it would be ludicrous! Or telling an auditor who has been getting incredible results with the tech that he is "blind" is malicious invalidation! Yet these are the kinds of things that Miscavige and his Scientology wrecking crew intentionally specialize in. One word describes it: EVIL]]></description>
