"L" ron hubbard as in "L"unatic.

[HelluvaHoax!]

The title for this thread could have easily been:

"Really crazeeeee things that Ron said that Scientologists don't have enough common sense to feel humiliated about--causing them to cringe and never tell a living soul."

Example? Okay, here is one:

The past month or two I have been receiving a series of emails promoting hubbard's ACC lectures.

They each boast an outrageous teaser headline, claiming that Ron is about to tell you a mystical secret about the universe.

OMG, I reallllllllllly regret that I did not save them! Anyone out there got the earlier ones? Please tell me you kept them!

They are beyond lunacy!

lu·na·cy (ln-s)
n. pl. lu·na·cies
1. Insanity, especially insanity relieved intermittently by periods of clear-mindedness. See Synonyms at insanity.
2.
a. Great or wild foolishness.
b. A wildly foolish act.
3. Archaic Intermittent mental derangement associated with the changing phases of the moon.

I kind of like the fact that the definition makes use of the word "clear". :D

Okay, here goes. And if you are an Indie Scientologist, please put some extra rations of Cognitive Dissonance in your backpack for this journey. You'll need it:

I want to know what happened to Triceratops. With horns like that he should have survived.

What happens to dinosaur thetans when they depart?

Do they have clusters because the evil T rex summoned the asteroid to reduce the population?

Are Velociraptors dinosaur OSA?

From the ACC lecture: "EXTERIORIZATION-REHABILITATION OF NATIVE STATE"

"A fellow all of a sudden finds that he doesn't have to have a fixed position of a body, that he can sail around a bit.

"Immediately he gets a lot happier about this whole thing.

"He doesn't have to have a fixed anchor point, which is to say a body."

— L. Ron Hubbard

Really Ron?

Which fellow is that? Could you point him out to us...because what you are saying might be very important--if it's true that is.

[HelluvaHoax!]

"These ACC lectures contain OT data found nowhere else.

They include specific processes and the OT knowledge underlying their use and effectiveness.

This Advanced Clinical Course was delivered originally to the 12 best auditors in the world — handpicked by Ron himself."

Really?

Where are those 12 best auditors in the world-handpicked by Ron himself now?

[freethinker]

Does nanyone know how many of these have been sold?

I don't hear much about the Basics anymore.

[HelluvaHoax!]

But wait! That's not all you get!

Such monumental breakthroughs are announced here as:

Making space — the principles intrinsic to a being's ability to operate as a thetan exterior;

Anchor points — and their relationship to maintaining the preclear's space between himself and the body as well as the auditor’s role in rehabilitating the preclear’s ability to create, vary and vanish that space;

Pervasion — the true nature of how a thetan knows. And with that, how pervasion relates to beingness, havingness and the ability of a thetan to generate enough energy to do virtually anything;

And, the factors of subjective auditing versus objective auditing — defined and detailed with the why and when each is employed.

Here is a glimpse on what you are going to find when you start listening to the 1st American ACC:

Exteriorization and the phenomena that occurs during exteriorization is covered, including the thetan's relation to the body, the state of the body, etc.

Ron tells an anecdote about the Weeper (covered in History of Man) and salt water tears and another story about the time his body went through the roof of a car and remained unhurt.

The best way to know is to "pervade." The whole subject of pervading something is taken up and fully explained.

What accounts for the strange feeling you get when your body tries to go down one more step on a stair-case than the number of stairs which are there?

Ron discusses what exactly dreams are.

What is the thetan's relation to the body at night while the body sleeps?

There's only one thing that will put the body fully back together again and one thing that will take it apart, and that's an Operating Thetan with beams and horsepower.

All a thetan has to do is change his mind on something and he will have changed...

How you can use beams of energy to control the body.

Discussion of the seventeen or so races that have come down through the track and the key-ins that restimulate them - snake, bear, dog, cat and even canary people. Ron discusses one cat case and how he changed the color of her eyes.

How a thetan is connected to a body, how he got into the body in the first place and why he usually is in the head, is discussed in detail.

Ron gives a process which will allow you to escape from a theta trap.

Find out a simple process to handle valence troubles.

What happens the moment a thetan assumes a body? The Assumption is explained, as well as how it works between lives.

Ron explains why thinking is not the way to get things done. When you put time into thought you just inject MEST into thought...

The phenomenon of "astral walking" is explained by Ron.

Ron talks about life around 800-900 AD when there was a divine rule by families and the king was a fairly good thetan who could be sure that his son was probably his grandfather in a new body.

He goes over how a person's body shape tells about his case.

Ron addresses how to handle a person's eyesight if he wears glasses and how to get a person to see with his MEST eyes shut — exactly how a thetan actually sees is described.

Ron covers affection and how to make the world look big, bright and beautiful.

He talks about the Magi and ancient Egyptians and Freemasonry in relation to these concepts.

What happens the moment a thetan assumes a body? The Assumption is explained, as well as how it works between lives.

Data about women on the track and how in some places they were the combative ones.

[HelluvaHoax!]

I mean, where to begin? lololololol

Okay, I'll just pick one...

The best way to know is to "pervade." The whole subject of pervading something is taken up and fully explained. - LRH

The best way to learn is to pervade?

Okay, Ron we believe you.

But just for the record, when did that loser squirrel wog tech called "scientific research" get canceled?

[HelluvaHoax!]

Exactly how much lying can a Scientologist or Indie Scientologist take before they crack?

But there was more. Mr. Hubbard opened a clinic right on the premises and throughout the ACC—and under his direct supervision—the students audited preclears ranging from new public having no previous knowledge of Scientology, to the most “impossible” of cases. This provided him with a testing ground to research and further refine his techniques. And it was in just this way that he was to discover the means to plumb and resolve the greatest depths of human aberration by applying the discoveries and techniques of the very highest levels of beingness.

Therein also lay the story of what would unfold over the next year. For notwithstanding the fact that the Advanced Clinical Course was already in progress (and also notwithstanding Mr. Hubbard’s insistence that he would only train a select few) auditors world over were no longer just “applying” to enroll—they were demanding. And just how L. Ron Hubbard responded is now the stuff of legend: No less than eight different Advanced Clinical Courses over a period of 12 months, comprising more than 500 lectures, and which would culminate in the route to exterior OT ability.

Welcome, then, to the Advanced Clinical Course. And to where it all began—in Camden, New Jersey, on October 6, 1953.

".....and which would culminate in the route to exterior OT ability."

Really, Ron?

Yeah, we believe you.

[HelluvaHoax!]

For those Scientologists that just couldn't get enough of Ron's lying--errr, I mean creative processing-- here is the 6th ACC:

SYNOPSIS
L. Ron Hubbard had delivered five ACCs at a scorching pace: 317 lectures in 147 days. Despite increased auditor skill, none could match his results. Seeking why, Mr. Hubbard made a crucial discovery—Duplication. “Auditors can’t duplicate. What do you mean, duplicate? That’s just, do the same as. That’s all. Can’t do it. What’s the matter with cases? They can’t duplicate.” Not only is duplication the basic action of existence, but its failure is the primary degeneration of a thetan. Thus Mr. Hubbard taught the solution in Procedure 30, comprising three processes: Problems and Solutions, Granting of Beingness and Opening Procedure by Duplication. Moreover, he also delivered an overview of theory, principles and mechanics: Definitions of Scientology, with their practical application in processing, Three Levels of Healing with ways to handle individuals in pain, how to audit easy cases (auditors meet many) and a demonstration of the Grand Tour. As training, ACC students attended the Universe Processes Congress where L. Ron Hubbard broadly released these breakthroughs. And, reaching into the community, he launched “Operation Phoenix,” with auditors ministering in homes and hospitals, resulting in miracle case histories—the lame walking, the blind seeing, and more.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Duplication is tremendously important. Tremendously important. It just can’t be overemphasized in a case. —L. Ron Hubbard

It was now May 1954. L. Ron Hubbard had delivered the first five ACCs at a scorching pace: 317 lectures and Group Processing sessions in 147 days, back to back. Auditing results continued to climb. Yet, given the magnitude of the task that lay ahead—the clearing of a planet—he had a greater target in view. For the results he routinely could obtain on preclears, no matter their state of case, continued to surpass those achieved by other auditors. The question remained, therefore: What technology were those auditors not fully applying? Or, phrasing the question another way, what was Mr. Hubbard doing that those auditors were omitting?

That was the challenge L. Ron Hubbard faced as the 6th American Advanced Clinical Course began on May 10, 1954, once again at 616 North 3rd Street, Phoenix. And from the point he found the answer, neither auditing nor training were ever quite the same. In fact, the discovery represented something so basic that it would reverberate through all subsequent advances in the training of auditors and the development of processes.

The answer was—Duplication.

As Mr. Hubbard described it,

“Auditors can’t duplicate. What do you mean, duplicate? That’s just, do the same as. That’s all. Can’t do it.

“What’s the matter with cases? They can’t duplicate.”

For, as he stated,

“The basic action of existence is duplication.”

“Inability to duplicate on any dynamic is the primary degeneration of a thetan.”

And, most important in regard to auditing, perception depends on duplication, communication depends on duplication, and erasure occurs through duplication. Or, to give it an even more fundamental expression, no being can go free unless he is able to duplicate.

As to why duplication had proved problematic for auditors and preclears, it is no less than the discovery of an axiom as revealed in SOP 8-C:

“In the mest universe, the single crime is duplication.”

The immediate solution, released by Mr. Hubbard to a select group of auditors attending the 6th ACC, was called Procedure 30. It actually consisted of three processes: Problems and Solutions, Granting of Beingness and what was soon to become one of the most famous in all of Scientology, Opening Procedure by Duplication.

Procedure 30’s immediate and obvious benefit was in speed of auditing: per L. Ron Hubbard’s estimate, the amount of time saved was in terms of scores, if not hundreds, of hours.

Yet if this remarkable ACC is renowned for the release of Procedure 30—capable of accelerating preclear gains into the stratosphere and multiplying the numbers who could receive those gains—it also included something embracive of all Scientology. Because, now from a perspective of everything that had been accomplished since the start of the first ACC in October 1953, Mr. Hubbard delivered a comprehensive overview of the theory, principles and mechanics of Scientology fundamentals, mid-1954, including:

Definitions of Scientology—their practical application in processing;
Interpersonal Relations—how they are based upon the ARC Triangle;
Imagination—why there is a direct coordination between the amount of free imagination an individual has and his ability to use his mind;
Three Levels of Healing—ways to handle an individual in pain;
Capabilities of a Thetan—how to handle very easy cases, as auditors meet lots of them;
Affinity, Reality and Communication—ARC and the Tone Scale with respect to exteriorization, bodies and universes;
Energy Knocker-Offer—processes to improve perceptions for a thetan who has exteriorized;
Grand Tour—its purpose and application, including a full auditing demonstration on a preclear.
And if these technical advances reflected the highest levels of processing and beingness, without breaking stride and yet seemingly stretching time itself—Mr. Hubbard’s ground level programs were just as unrelenting.

First, to provide all Scientologists these latest breakthroughs, and in the midst of this ACC, he delivered the Universe Processes Congress, releasing the first Group Auditor’s Handbook and delivering these most up-to-date breakthroughs as Group Processing—even including Opening Procedure by Duplication.

Then, reaching out across the local community he launched “Operation Phoenix,” with ACC students—now Scientology Ministers—visiting local hospitals and homes to deliver the latest processing to invalids and the then rampant cases of polio victims. And all of it resulting in case histories that stand today as miracles—no less than the lame soon walking, the blind now seeing.

With all the above to fill his days and nights, L. Ron Hubbard nonetheless kept the security and the growth of Scientology at the forefront. To that end, the HAS in Phoenix became the Hubbard Association of Scientologists International, now working in partnership with HASI London to forward the global dissemination of Scientology. And as soon became clear—those advances were about to dovetail in the 7th ACC which would culminate in what stands as the very foundation of Scientology

Ron knows his beams...

"The truth of the matter is an individual can activate a vacuum tube. By the way, he can activate a vacuum tube because he isn't trying to go through the terrific insulative quality of air. I've forgotten what an inch of air insulates, but it is something fabulous. An inch of air represents maybe a hundred thousand volts or something on that order. He would have to be almost as big as a lightning storm to get across any space of air. But he can do it in a vacuum tube, and he could do it in a bell jar from which the air could be exhausted, while he himself was outside the bell jar. He simply puts a beam inside the bell jar connecting two electrodes and you would get a registry on a meter inside the bell jar." (3rd ACC Lecture 35)

It's easy! It's simple....

"He simply puts a beam inside the bell jar connecting two electrodes..."

How does Ron do it? What's the secret to his knowingness on Beams? Just a guess....
