There is more wisdom in the communication formula alone than humans are used to having access to. The first time TR0 blows you away, you know you have experienced something the bulk of the world seems to be unaware of. Scientology is data of the highest order. It is being presented to beings who aren't even there. What could possibly go wrong? L Ron Hubbard warned us of what could go wrong. It has gone wrong. What now? The first order of business is to announce that I am resigning fromm the Church of Scientology because it is and has been a criminal activity for approximately 30 years. My name is Michael Walimaa, I discovered Scientology in 1975. Until a week ago, I was a registrar at the Nashville Celebrity Center. It was my first go at being on staff, and I had only been there for 9 months. I am also a Patron of the IAS. After 37 years and $250,000, my training and auditing level is negligible. I have done the full Basics book and lecture course. Within the last two years, I did the Purification Rundown - for the third time (I have never done drugs), and I have put about 350 hours into the Objectives. This was the first auditing action I have ever had that was done in the correct sequence, and done correctly and fully. The objectives woke me up. The tech does work. I could attribute the fact that it took 37 years and a quarter of a million bucks to get my objectives (almost) done, to my own shortcomings. Of course, I entered Scientology to address my shortcomings, and they assured me they could. The added time and money in the cycle seems impossible. But there is no denying that I have yet to fully complete one bridge step in 37 years, so an awful lot of time and money got thrown at things that had nothing to do with becoming a trained auditor, or moving up the bridge. While on Opening Procedure by 8C, the last thing I ran, I realised that Communism had entered my Church. "From each according to their ability; to each according to their need." - the operating basis of Communism, and the IAS. Then I remembered that LRH hated the idea of "subsidizing " an organization. Ours are all supposed to be self-supporting. Compare the two following scenarios: 1. The Church members donate to buy hundreds of thousands of WAY TO HAPPINESS BOOKLETS. The Church distributes them to an enturbulated populace. The locals rise in tone. The local government has been by-passed. They are incensed that someone else is controlling "their" people. The locals run straight into the suppression of their own governments. The perfect recipe for roller-coastering people. 2. The WAY TO HAPPINESS foundation, being self-sufficient (per policy) sells their program to the local government. The city pays for the booklets. The city management is now the cause point, and is doing something good and in-exchange for their own people. The people and their leaders are on the same page, or at least have to pretend to be. The Church members get to keep their own money, having earned it, and actually do flourish and prosper. Their friends and relatives can see that they are flourishing and prospering, and want to know how they are doing it. And no one is just PRing anyone else. It is patently impossible to give every dollar you can scrape up to the "fourth dynamic", and yet flourish and prosper. This is a violation of every financial policy and principle of exchange ever written. And your attempts to appear that you are flourishing and prospering will not fool your friends and family. It is THEIR kind hearts that prevent them from telling you what they really think of the life you are leading. They DON'T gauge you as a success. They just feel sorry for you that you don't even have the time or money to get home and visit your relatives once in a normal while - despite the fact that you are working your ass off. Why am I not quoting policy like all those who have gone before me? Because the Church is the equivalent of the Callao fortress LRH references in "The Responsibilities of Leaders". Eight thousand died when Simon Bolivar insisted on trying to take that fortress. I have read of scores of you charging those gates with the most carefully assembled and sincere "evidences" and "references", only to be stopped at the gate. Like Ron said, and I am just too lazy to type out the whole quote, just put a large number of our own troops in a distant position of offense but ease and comfort and say, "We are not going to fight. The war's over, silly man. Look at the silly fellows in there, living on rats when they can just walk out and sleep home nights or go to Spain or enlist with me or just go camping", and let anybody walk in and out who pleased, making the fort commander (Rodil) the prey of every pleading wife and mother and would-be deserter or mutineer within. This is probably exactly what will happen, and already is. David Miscavige is in a condition of Power in the destruction of the Church. He cannot destroy the tech beyond our ability to restore it, I don't think, but the Church is not so lucky. The man is formidable, intelligent, and must be a pretty sizable being. He almost seems to be able to "glow" things wrong. For him to be able to hold any form together after thirty years of his own abuses is actually rather impressive. Someday, if he ever actually gets cleaned up and makes up for the damage (what would THAT take), we could all have a good laugh over this. Right now, it is not the least bit funny. When DM does blow, as it states in the same "Simon Bolivar" reference, he will move off with unlimited funds in his private account, with potential blackmail on erstwhile enemies (sec checks), and bribe some country to let him live there. He will probably not do the remaining steps: he will not pay all his obligations on the nail, he will not empower all his friends as he does not trust anyone but himself to have power, and he won't keep his nose out of things. He HAS to be on a stage. All this will be his undoing, and I don't envy what his future will be. I didn't expect LRH to be perfect. I don't expect those Scientologists outside of the Church to be perfect. It would help if we were, but we don't have to be. We will have to deal with our own alterations, M/Us, dillitantes, serve-facs, PR problems, etc., etc. LRH has solutions as long as we remain "theta the solvers", and not "entheta, the poor victims of David Miscavage and his cronies." A lot of decent things appear to be getting done while we wait for all the wives and mothers to take out DM. I am so happy to see this. Well, it was hell while it lasted. Can't wait to see what we collectively do. What would Ron do? Michael Walimaa 22 Sep 2012 Nashville, TN |
"Scientology has been taken over by a self-appointed dictator, David Miscavige, who has turned the Creed of the Church of Scientology, the Code of a Scientologist, and the Credo of a True Group Member on their heads and instituted the virtual practice of Reverse (Black) Dianetics..."

Well done and welcome to the party!
It's funny because I just watched this interview yesterday:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cnf0I2dQ0i0
Breath deep the air of freedom my friend, there's a long road out ahead of us.
You are home again.
Now that you are out, I hope you can get some Bridge completions done. It's the real LRH and it won't cost you a quarter-mil.
Well said Michael. Instead of just having large natter fests on line about DM and Scn, let's become theta the solvers and rehabilitate Scientology in hands that will never turn it into Reverse Scientology, which is being done.
Good luck on your Bridge progress and welcome! I think you'll have a good ride up the Bridge in the Indie movement where the tech is still pure.
I still have family there you see and friends.
As an ex-executive i also have a hell of a story to tell, it´s unbelievable almost, even victims are supressed. I am lucky though i still believe in God, Jehova is Great, he holds my hand abd leads me forward.
God bless to all you Thetans out there, even you wicked OSA SP´s, yep even you.
Finally, a year later, an answer to the question “What would Ron do?” I think I have known all along. I have just had to let go of all the motivators that I have received in the last thirty-five years.
I have a pretty good idea what LRH would prescribe as a general course of action. He would prescribe action – as opposed to just sitting here, chewing on bank, and watching it all march into hell. And I’m sure that any general course that didn’t factor in the salvaging of beings as the only permanent cure to the disease of life, would be considered short sighted by him. How many hours of insane production did he throw in that direction? I’m sure he could of thought of easier things to do, and would have enjoyed being a bit more self-serving. But he went for the cure, and the spreading of it. He lost a wife to prison, and kids too, along the way. And he was hounded. And he was betrayed. But he did what he did, and he apparently refused to hate, despite all the motivators life gave him.
If I think all this was good - great even – then what am I to do?
Carry on. Persist when it hasn’t gone right.
It seems that since the insane dedication and production capacity displayed by the SO, and many staff, was misdirected and flawed, that this level of commitment is itself suspect. The vogue now seems to be dilettantism. Even if Scientology was pushed right off the rails by DM, the concept of just how much an individual can put out and keep going, without a break for decades, was established as well as it has ever been established. Too bad it was wrong effort. The quantity and duration of it was still something not seen in other groups. They were chasing LRH’s dream with all they had, trying to match his own prodigious output. They were betrayed by a false leader. They were not betrayed by the original vision that caused them to sign up in the first place. Not only is it still valid, it will be the only thing worth really chasing for millennia to come. And it may very well be true that it will still take that level of intensity at multiple levels in the organization to hand theta a win in the end. I wonder if anyone would be broadcasting and protesting all the sacrifices that were made by individuals and couples and families, the mangled personal rights and mangled bodies and mangled cases, if there were now in fact 10 million Scientologists strong, and a healthy effective organization coordinating them. What if the unethical on this planet were bracketed by now, and on the run? Would we still think the price was too high? No, the decades of 100 hours weeks for no exchange to speak of, wife on the other side of the planet for years at a time, would have all been worth it had it worked. There would have been no beatings, or ignoring people’s cases, or extortion followed by no delivery, or any of what passes for life in Scientology now – because those things didn’t work, did they? The things that would have worked would have been actual Scientology, but folks would have still been working like slaves. Difference is that they would have actually been actually accomplishing what they were willing to work so hard for.
So, people got worked like slaves, dead babies were tossed out weekly, relationships were destroyed, families were tortured, the public pockets were emptied with vigor and duress. So my own children can’t talk to me anymore.
So what?
The only thing that really matters is that this did not forward Scientology. The only reason that these are now being presented as atrocities, instead of being lauded as sacrifices above and beyond the call of duty, is because the battle was lost. True, a better organization/leader would not have forced these sacrifices on their own with reckless abandon, but they would have still occurred on a voluntary basis in spades. Just, without the meanness, and without the duress, and with the true agreement of those who made them. They would have been even tougher, and even more dedicated were they not being hammered unfairly by their own. It would still have been a demanding and, at times, brutal affair. How could it be otherwise considering the magnitude and consequences inherent in the game, the entrenched evil on the other side, and the limited number of people actively participating in the battle?
We are not unfamiliar with sacrifice and deprivation. Our tracks are loaded with it. The Civil War in this country was one long group engram. But we have rarely had a valid cause to serve – just the short sighted goals of the greedy and the insane. If ever we had a goal worth losing limbs over, this one is it. Those screaming about the conditions on the other side of the fence are really only upset about one thing – their efforts were not directed and channeled for the greatest good, and the corps that was supposed to drive ethics and Scientology in on Earth became one more exercise in betrayal and failure.
The tech is still the tech. The job still needs to be done. Who is going to do it, and who is going to stand around and bitch about how bad it all was/is?
I’ve got work to do.
