Miss X Files #7 Miss X on "my philosophy"
Here is something I find very interesting. It is from "My Phiosophy" -
by L. Ron Hubbard and is on page one, volume 6 of The Technical [HCOBs and
BTBs] Bulletins, first printing 1976, copyright by L. Ron Hubbard:
"So my own philosophy is that one should share what wisdom he has, one
should help others to help themselves, and one should keep going despite
heavy weather for there is always a calm ahead. One should also ignore
catcalls from the selfish intellectual who cries: 'Don't expose the
mystery. Keep it all for ourselves. The people cannot understand.'" [6th
from last paragraph]
"The old must give way to the new, falsehood must become exposed by
truth, and truth, though fought, always in the end prevails." [last
paragraph]
So, I guess this means one should ignore the selfish intellectual
["Church" leader/lawyer ?] who cries for us not to expose the mystery
["upper levels"].One should not let the "Church" keep their secrets to
themselves [their members].
I think LRH was very wrong in saying "the people cannot understand." I
believe that when allowed to view the "upper level" material, most people
DO see what a piece of GARBAGE it is. Truth DOES prevail in the end. The
idea that truth prevails was not Hubbard's original idea.
In my opinion, the "Church" fights to protect their "upper level"
material, NOT because a person needs to attain a certain level of
"spiritual enlightenment" or whatever, but because when allowed to have
access to the upper levels, a common, ordinary, everyday "WOG" can easily
perceive what a bunch of CRAP it is !!
The "Church" is of course against the very idea of informed consent. To
allow someone to FIND OUT, prior to any serious involvement in $cientology
, what the "upper levels" consist of, would naturally cause many, if not
most people to ask themselves if they believed the GARBAGE before shelling
out huge sums of money ! This of course would have a SERIOUS and MAJOR
impact on the "Church's" BANK ACCOUNTS ! How many people do you suppose
would willingly pay thousands of dollars for the GARBAGE ?
Seems LRH also said something to the effect of to beware anyone who
wanted a monopoly on Dyinetics - that the motive could only be for reasons
of money. Anyone have the source reference and actual quote ?
