YAWNING is not the big evil we were told.

[Royal Prince Xenu]

As "loyal" Scilons, we all learned the secret art of stifling a yawn because it meant a dreaded "misunderstood", yet animals do it too. I've seen my cat yawn, and that doesn't mean he's misunderstood something.

Yawning is good for us! (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/19/yawning-triggers-and-functions.aspx?e_cid=20120419_DNL_art_1)

[Captain Koolaid]

Yawning gives the body an oxygen boost when needed. It is a human reaction triggered by the brain (or the herd instinct when watching others yawn). It means being effect. Scios are above that, right?

[xseaorguk]

my dog also yawns quite often, that's true :yes:

[HelluvaHoax!]

...

My dog yawned.

Knowing Ron's study tech, I told him to go back to the last place he was feeling good.

So he went to a fire hydrant.

I sent the folder back in for a new C/S.

The 'meaning' of yawning is yet another bogus claim pulled out of the rectum of the infamous lrh.

My cat just yawned. I told her to go find her misunderstood. She rubbed up against me and looked at me as if to say "Shut up and pet me, idiot!"

[uniquemand]

Yawning typically means you're awake when your body wants to sleep. Trying to get people to read your dictums while they are sleepy is a good way to bypass the critical faculties of the mind.

I don't want to go "mystical" here, but there's another aspect to yawning that I've noticed. How can I describe this?

It's as though there's a kind of biological-etheric cloud that can surround a person or even fill an environment. This "cloud" (or atmosphere) can have characteristics. I don't know why, but the act of spontaneously yawning (with no warning, and without having observed others yawning, etc.) can sometimes occur collectively and simultaneously. I've observed this, and none of the yawners were aware of the others also yawning,

It was as though a "yawning cloud" was passing through and briefly engulfed all of them, resulting in a simultaneous (as in the same instant) group-yawning. The incident that comes to mind occurred outdoors, and even included a squirrel in a tree that - at the same instant - also yawned. It's odd, I know, but it happened. And I've noticed this at other times also.

There's a subtle energy, of sort, that is not necessarily spiritual (or entirely spiritual)... and I want to put the materialists at ease.:) But something is going on.

It may be of the same odd type of etheric ? as when someone in a courtyard is being watched by another from a window, and the person in the courtyard feels something:ohmy:, and suddenly looks up directly at the person - high above. There was some kind of connection. Some animals do this too. It's as as though they can feel being watched.

I've seen this too! You can see it any morning on a peak hour train. It's like, as you said, a yawn cloud passes through.

Yawns are definitely contagious.

The old "psychological" explanation is that people see others yawning and then, as a result, themselves yawn, which no doubt does happen.

And sometimes (probably most of the time) a yawn is just a yawn.

Yet, there's the odd occurrence of people group-yawning, instantaneously, while not being aware of the others yawning.

Yawns are definitely contagious.Wow - I've seen this sort of thing happen at baseball games - people just seem to get up with their arms in the air then sit back down again - it's like a ripple running through the crowd. I have never understood why they do it. I think it must be the same thing that happens when one person coughs in a theater and several others do it as well. Do you think it is proof of the existence of a hive mind? or telepathy?

[Coyote13]

It was a hella big "win" when I realized that when I yawned, it didn't mean I had a "misunderstood(word)", it meant I just needed some sleep or to take a break for a moment. No amount of word clearing can take the place of good study habits.

This is another example of how $cientology adds meaning to things that isn't there or assigns a negative context to a healthy, normal, human attribute or occurence. Over time it distorts ones ability to objectively evaluate reality cause all interpretations of normal everyday events gets run the the LRH insanity filter, the study courses are just the begining, in my eyes.

James R. Anderson, Masako Myowa-Yamakoshi and Tetsuro Matsuzawa
Abstract: Six adult female chimpanzees were shown video scenes of chimpanzees repeatedly yawning or of chimpanzees showing open-mouth facial expressions that were not yawns. Two out of the six females showed significantly higher frequencies of yawning in response to yawn videos; no chimpanzees showed the inverse. Three infant chimpanzees that accompanied their mothers did not yawn at all. These data are highly reminiscent of the contagious yawning effects reported for humans. Contagious yawning is thought to be based on the capacity for empathy. Contagious yawning in chimpanzees provides further evidence that these apes may possess advanced self-awareness and empathic abilities.

The Scientology staff member tries to suppress a yawn. The clipboard-wielding Product Officer rushes up and gets in their face.


PRODUCT OFFICER
I saw that!

STAFF MEMBER
Oh, sorry. I just did all-nighters for LRH to get
out that new promo piece sent out on Ron the Humanitarian.

PRODUCT OFFICER
Knock off the justification. What word did you miss?

STAFF MEMBER
No really, it's just that I didn't sleep for 3 days so that
we could reg enough donations to get The Way to Happiness
into the hands one million unhappy wogs worldwide.

PRODUCT OFFICER
You are giving me flashback and reasons.
Ron says that reasonableness is suppressive.
Now for the last time, are you going to do
what Ron says and find your MU? Or do
you need to be sent for Ethics Sec Checks
for refusing to apply Ron's tech on yawning?

STAFF MEMBER
Okay, okay, okay. I just spotted my MU.
It was in those Way to Happiness pamphlets.
The part about "Take care of yourself".

PRODUCT OFFICER
So what is your misunderstood?

STAFF MEMBER
I didn't understand that when Ron talks about
"Get Rest" he was talking to unhappy
wogs, not to unhappy Scientologists.



1-5. GET REST.
Although many times in life one has to work beyond normal sleep periods, a person’s general failure to get proper rest can make him or her a burden to others. Tired people are not alert. They can make mistakes. They have accidents. Just when you need them they can dump the whole workload on one. They put others at risk. Insist that people who do not get proper rest do so.

1. Who told you yawning is a 'big evil'?

2. Who told you yawning is only associated
with an m/u?

3. Who told you cats are unable to misunderstand?

Faulty assumptions.

I think they are ragging on the study tech man...

You know..the study tech that hasn't gotten anything of value accomplished yet?

The study tech humans didn't need to do all the cool things they've done to date?

And my cat understands everything. She tells me that all the time.

I agree...my cats misunderstand me all the time. Either that or they aren't concerned about what I want them to do. I suspect the latter. :yes:

In the stifling world of Scientology.... more yawning is recommended .... :biggrin: :yawn::yawn::yawn:

"Who told you???" OMG! You're actually publicly revealing that you try to apply Hubbard's moronic Rollback and False Data Tech?

:hysterical: :hysterical::hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:

[Opter]

Just reading some of Ron's materials was a good justification for a yawn.:omg: It was so boring:yes:,especially the materials I had to read for my post as a staff member.

I always noticed that a friend of mine would yawn when you confronted him with anything slightly uncomfortable, I mean for him that is.
It was like he didn't want to talk about certain confrontational things.:yes:
Until this day he remains a person who avoids any confrontation.
Anybody else notice that?

[uniquemand]

I have noticed it, but didn't "make note" of it until you mentioned it. Perhaps that is a better way of stating what yawns are about (when they're not strictly biological).

Absolutely! It's true. It's a common "tell" for stress. Probably means the body needs more oxygen real quick. ???
