A License to Live? Blowing the Myth

For anyone who has engaged themselves in a study of Scientology in the last decade or two - you may have noticed that there was a certain proclivity towards CONTROL and LICENSING. One may have felt that the freedom to simply BE a Scientologist and DO what a Scientologist would or could DO with the knowledge and skills was being marginalized by an attitude that you should do CERTAIN things and a that you should do them with the aim of getting kudo's, statistics, building "ideal orgs" and getting success stories that you can report back to others about. In other words, marginalizing your activities to those things which are within the channels of mandated activities of current Church hierarchy - especially those activities that would give them "statistics" and "good news" to announce at events - things such as donations, breakthroughs into new countries or areas, etc.

We have to declare a new age of Scientology here and now. This is not a new message. Others have said it - but I am reaffirming it from my standpoint. Scientology is for EVERYONE to use. We want the principles and truths of this subject to permeate the world. It isn't important to do things that are "popular" or "wanted" - that is asking for a license to live. If you need to be acknowledged for doing things as a Scientologist then you missed the point. Scientology is part of life. Use it. Just USE it. Audit people. Sort out their problems small or large. Be a friend to the world. Whatever you do - YOU have total license to USE Scientology however you see fit - as long as you keep it as Scientology. You do not need an approval from someone else. You don't need to report "stats" or "successes".  Let's stop feeding David Miscavige's propaganda machine and let's start making a better world because we WANT to and because WE own Scientology. It is OUR Scientology.

LRH wanted it to be free - he wanted it used - and the purpose was to better conditions in the world - not to convert everyone into being Scientologists. A cleared planet does not mean a planet where everyone is a card carrying Scientologist. It means just that - CLEARED of the fourth dynamic engram, and able to move on to becoming a new, dynamic and free culture - and one where people will - in due course - probably find their way to Scientology materials anyhow. But the purpose is to inject and imbue the world with the truth, the simple and workable techniques and to give the people around us an insight into and a means of improving their conditions -  and eventually a world where freedom of spirituality will begin to dominate over the game as we know it.

By definition a license means - permission to act - and OTs don't ask for permission from this universe - they just do it. That has been the myth - perpetuated by current Scientology administration - that you need their permission to be a Scientologist. You don't. That is the very trap we are trying to free everyone from. We don't need to agree with the physical universe and the established "rules". And certainly - we do not need Scientology becoming another "religion" that holds people in the fold to control them. We need FREE BEINGS.  

The first step to freeing a being is to free them of the idea that they are slaves - that they need a license to exist. We've all read enough of LRH materials to achieve that step now.

Let's make a better world - and let's mark 2010 as the point when we truly launched Scientology into society.

The only statistic that will truly matter in the end will be reflected in a changed world - and believe me - you'll see it. That's what the game is really all about - not the myth currently being fed to us by the propaganda machine coming out of David Miscavige's office.

One of the more interesting scams is licensing use of the "secular technology" and harassing people if they don't pay up. Customarily, if you buy a book or take a course in something, you can go right out and use what you've learned (unless you're a franchisee using a company's trademarks).

That's the case with Narconon, but the trademark has such negative value at this point that they have put up dozens of "referral" drug rehab websites that make no direct mention of Narconon.

That isn't the case with WISE at all. Some members may get some referral business, but many just pay fees because of coercion or outright ethics threats.

In the French trial last June, Jean-Pierre Brard, a deputy in France's parliament, used an interesting metaphor: "The way cults operate is like a drainage system.

“You don’t see the drainage system, but it functions very well, and you can’t see where all those little drainpipes end up but in any case they go somewhere – and it's the same with Scientology.”

Liberating words OTB. This is an excellent article that you've written!

I was using ARC long before I ever knew that is was called ARC. But there came a time when I felt that if I was going to tell anyone about ARC, then I would first have to go through the appropriate terminals to get permission. And, of course, any activity such as this would have to have a stat and a report of stats connected to it. Yeah, it got to the point where Scn could not be taken out of the building unless, you paid dearly.

Excerpt: "To lay down a big plan for Scientologists and say, 'This is the organization and this is what we are going to do: steps one, two, three ...' is saying that none of you have a right to think or plan. The only thing we can do inside Scientology is hold the communication lines of Scientology and its service in an orderly state. And we can keep the show on the road. But this is an inside perimeter."

From: HCOPL 24 Mar 81, Executive Series 33, Leadership More About.

Note: I first read this PL in 84' and at a time where, with each passing day, more and more control was being levelled against the Scn field, this comm from LRH was what aligned to. Not the other.

P. Henry - that was an excellent quote. It really embraces the issue. Once again, LRH proves that he was for freedom and self-determinism - not a "religious" enclave that controlled Scientologists.

Battery

Terrorism

Climate of Fear - Reign of Terror

"Ever-increasing savage actions created a climate of fear. You could be screamed at, ridiculed, spat on, embarrassed, threatened ferociously or beaten. You could lose Scientology, your friends, family, parents, split off from your spouse, no money, no job, cast out into the world penniless and alone if you ever dream of defying The Cob" Learn More...

Coercion

Racketeering

Shaking Down Scientologists for Cash

How Church Financials Really Work

"It's a lot more viable to chase down millionaires who will donate $10 million for a hand shake, some applause and a metal pin. It's not a matter of saving the planet and all the poor suffering people... it's 'Where's the BIG, FAT, EASY MONEY?' -- that's what we're talking about!..."  Learn More...

Blackmail

Tax Exemption by Blackmail

"Miscavige bragged that he collared the IRS Commissioner Fred Goldberg in the hallway outside his IRS office and threatened to expose him.

She attempted to escape to rejoin her husband but was caught and brought back to California, isolated and kept under guard on a remote property for over 2 years..."  Learn More...

Sadism in the SP Hall

"His most infamous sadistic moment was when he told them they were going to play 'musical chairs' and only the last person to get a chair would stay and the rest would vanish without even a chance to say good-bye to friends and family, husbands or wives. The game went on for hours as staff wept bitter tears. This delighted The Cob."  Learn More...

Abuse

Lisa McPherson's Demise

"Miscavige said he knew what was wrong and proceeded to write three paragraphs on what was to be said to this girl. The staff wondered how The Cob was even qualified to supervise auditing and even if he was, why hadn't he studied the folders first? The girl's name was Lisa McPherson and you know the rest."  Learn More...

Night of the Living Dead

"Moments later came a wail of inhuman agony unlike anything I have every heard in my lifetime, before or since. The screams were so incredibly loud. Louder than any sounds I could imagine a human could make. They filled the sky and the valley and my lonely office. 20 or 30 minutes they lasted..."  Learn More...
