HIGHWAY PATROL

I had a great session on new OT V and was driving home very exterior. I got in the house, did my usual routine and got right to bed so I could be sessionable the next day. I laid there for about 10 minutes too excited to really sleep, so I decided to get some real space. I moved out of the house and over the neighborhood. Then I moved over the city. When I did this I spotted what looked like my wife's car. I got closer and it was her.

I could see there was some late-night freeway construction happening on her usual route home that was going to cause her some unnecessary delays. I put the intention out for her to get off the freeway at an exit before the work. She did.

She arrived home about 10 minutes later. I asked how her drive was home. She was curious why I asked. She said she never turns off on this particular exit, but really felt like she should. I told her why.

O.A.

Scientology Bonus Section - Word Of The Day

sessionable adj. describing the state of being in which one is both easily manipulated and fearful of the future while also holding accessible funds in a bank account and/or in wages earned.

He could be fighting crime! He could go external and follow criminals fleeing from the scene. He could have his own show on ABC. But instead, he blows $ on getting enturbulated and indirectly warning his wife about traffic.

And they claim to see the bigger picture?

From NY Daily News:

Homophobia claims dog Scientology

John Travolta and Tom Cruise have forcefully denied allegations that they turned to Scientology to "cure" them of their supposedly gay urges. But critics continue to claim the religion is rife with homophobia.

Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote in his 1950 best seller, "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health," that gays were "sexual perverts" and "very ill physically."

That apparently went for Hubbard's son, Quentin, who was said to have been confused about his own sexual orientation. "[Ron] thought Quentin was an embarrassment," Laurel Sullivan, Hubbard's former PR officer, told the Los Angeles Times. Quentin killed himself in 1976.

Cultnews.com deprogrammer Rick Ross contends that Scientology leaders remain "adamantly opposed" to homosexuality. According to one former Scientologist, the sect teaches that a man "would regain a more normal sexuality as he gains more spiritual freedom through Scientology."

In a federal lawsuit filed in 1998, ex-Scientologist Michael Pattinson claimed the church deceived him by using Travolta as an example of a satisfied member who'd gone straight. Reps for Travolta - who has been married to Scientologist Kelly Preston for 13 years - and the church called the charges "meritless" and "hogwash."

Scientology spokeswoman Gaetane Asselin scoffed at the suggestion that celebrities like twice-married Cruise, Lisa Marie Presley, Kirstie Alley and Isaac Hayes embrace a theology that sees gays as weak or demented.

"Mr. Hubbard abhorred discrimination in all its forms," Asselin told us. "In today's liberal society," she argued, the church encourages any relationship that is "ethical."

But, she added, "Subjects such as homosexuality and same-sex marriages are not widely debated in Scientology."

Maybe everyone knows not to bring it up.

Not, of course, that there's anything wrong with it, but if you name your son Quentin you might as well include a lifetime membership at the Y as part of his baptism ceremony.

PERCEPTION

I asked some friends to come to my house to help with a painting project. It was a chance to get together and get some help at the same time. Everyone was told to arrive by 10:00 am. About 9:30 am I realized I was short on some materials. I called the person that lives closest to a hardware store and asked her to pick up what I was missing and I'd pay her later. She agreed.

At 10:00 am, people started showing up. My friend who was doing the supply run was late, but I expected that. I got the ones that were there started. It was now about 10:30 am and I got that they were out of the types of rollers I asked for at the store. That was what was causing part of the delay. I also perceived the entire comm cycle with the terminal at the store.

When she finally showed up about 11:00 am, she walked in and said, "You are never going to believe what happened..." I interrupted and said, "Let me guess. First off, they didn't have the rollers I asked for, then when you went to ask someone for help..." and proceeded to give an exact account of what took place. She looked at me with her jaw gaping. That was precisely what had occurred.

TUNING IN

One morning when I was on OT III, I arrived at AOLA with the friend I usually get a lift from. A really nice song started on the radio just as we pulled up, but my driver of course turned off the ignition and the song died as he removed the key.

Leaving the car, I was wishing I could have listened to the rest of the song, when suddenly the radio came on again and my song with it. We were stunned until I realized what I had done. My friend tried everything to "turn the radio off" - with no success - while I was enjoying the music!

The song ended, I was happy and decided that was all I wanted to hear. So the radio turned off.

Nice.

It's hard to imagine, but I think most members do believe, though I'm sure Hubbard was laughing all the way to the bank. Like your average destructive mind-control cult, Scientology preys on people's fears and exploit their weaknesses.

I noted in a thread last year that a journalist who was writing articles about Scientology and working on a book was constantly threatened, and his wife was kidnapped. Generally, Scientologists just invest enormous amounts of resources into abusing the legal system, hounding their "enemies" into submission by litigating them into the ground.

Check out Operation Clambake-- it'll tell you all you need to know about the throbbing red, annoying, festering wart on the ass of humanity that is Scientology. Enjoy.

MIRACLE

Since 9/11, the airlines have been a lot stricter about people being on time for boarding. I travel a lot so always allow plenty of time. However, on one particular trip I was running very late - so late in fact, that I knew they wouldn't let me on, unless there was a "miracle". I had to go for it, otherwise I would miss my daughter's violin recital.

I ran to the gate, and sure enough, the doors were closed. I pleaded but no go. Just then the door to the walkway opened and the co-pilot emerged to ask for something. He saw me and called my name. It was the best friend of my cousin who I'd met a year earlier. He recognized me. My "miracle". And I made it to the recital.

CERTAINTY

About six months ago I lent a friend a necklace that belonged to my grandmother for a special event she was attending. The necklace was special to me because it was one of the few things my grandmother had given me before she dropped her body.

My friend didn't return it right away and ended up losing it at some point during a move. When she discovered that she couldn't find it, she called me very upset because she knew it was not replaceable. I told her not to worry. We'd find it.

A couple of months passed and she originated that she felt so bad about the necklace. I reminded her that I'd decided that it would turn up. She gave me a half smile like she thought that I was being too hopeful.

About two weeks later my husband asked me to run an errand for him. I had to go to a seedy part of town for a part for the car he was working on. He gave me directions on how to get there so I didn't have to go through the worst part. As I approached, something told me to check out that part of town. I certainly didn't have any considerations on my own safety. As I was driving through, I stopped at a red light and looked to my right at a pawn shop on the corner. I saw something in the window that looked awfully familiar.

I parked and went in. There was my necklace! Still in good condition. I looked around the store for a few minutes and then inquired about the necklace. The salesperson said he'd sell it to me for $50. We settled at $30 and I got my necklace back.

L.N.

Scientology Bonus Section: WORD OF THE DAY

originated v. past tense of originate, apparently meaning to repeat, as in "that song was so good, I hit the originate button again and again" or "a man who does not learn from his mistakes is doomed to originate them."

Elvis Fu · **Posted:** Tue Apr 26, 2005 8:32 pm

I wonder if this "errand" on the "seedy part of town" included "half and half" or "a trip to the Greek Isles".

maybe her idea of a trip to the seedy part of town is walking down the street towards the blackies.

From Pagesix (so I read pagesix)
TOM Cruise just can't stop talking about Scientology. When German magazine Spiegel asked him if he saw it as his "job" to recruit new followers, Cruise answered: "I'm a helper. For instance, I myself have helped hundreds of people get off drugs. In Scientology, we have the only successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. It's called Narconon." Spiegel countered: "That's not correct. Yours is never mentioned among the recognized detox programs. Independent experts warn against it because it is rooted in pseudo-science." Cruise answered: "It's a statistically proven fact that there is only one successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. Period." Spiegel noted, "With all due respect, we doubt that."

COMMUNICATION

People always talk about "knowing who's calling before the phone rings." I used to be able to do this before I was OT, usually because I knew who would be most likely to be calling at that time due to the circumstances. It didn't really seem OT as much as it did just being observant.

I had an interesting incident take place along this line when I finished OT III. It was my wife's birthday and she usually gets calls from her high school buddies and such. Early on the day of her birthday, we were getting ready for work. A name came into my head, "George." I don't really know a George. I said, "Who do you know named George?" She said, "No one, why?" I shrugged it off. A few minutes later she said, "I had a boyfriend in junior high school named George and we had a beagle named George when I was six. That's it."

About 10 minutes later her cell phone rings. I heard her say, "Yes, it's Diane. Who? You're kidding!" She puts the phone on mute and says, "You are not going to believe who it is... George!" I said, "Beagle or boyfriend?"

N.S.

Editorial Interjection: if some stalker knob from junior high phoned my wife on my birthday I'd have to sic the feds on him.

Something a little different today. These scientologist cads haven't delivered the new mag yet, so while I wait how about a few words from L. Ron Hubbard himself?

BEINGNESS
by L. Ron Hubbard

This technique has to do with a progress up the dynamics to a point where you are, theoretically, in contact at considerable distance and can be almost anything. Now, when I say be almost anything, I mean you could be an icebox or a Cadillac or anything while you're still being yourself. Sounds fantastic, doesn't it?

It's very, very fascinating that you are highly individualized and you will never be more than yourself, but your self and your individuality can get up to the high point of your own recognition not only of a brotherhood with the whole universe but a sort of recognition of yourself as the universe.

This is very dangerous for people, if they are low on the Tone Scale, to get the idea that they're the whole universe. I've been around in institutions occasionally and run into fellows who thought they were God, and other things. They weren't well because they tried to reach it by the reverse route. They backed down Tone Scale to get there, and the only place a fellow gets when he goes down Tone Scale to get there is dead.

I'm going to tell you how to get up Tone Scale to get there and still retain your potentiality of action.

(end of Part I)

Example of Scientology Understatement: "I've been around in institutions occasionally."
