Yes, you can fly, but first you have to break out of that cocoon. You are capable of self rescue at all times.

I love this short thread examining how important the meanings of words were to those getting "in":
http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthrea...-or-a-minister
Starts out with Boojuum saying:
"Be an executive or a professor or a minister
I recently thought that one of the appealing pieces of cos was the job openings. With a few months of training, you could be more capable than a psychologist and treating patients. With a few weeks of training, you could be a manager or even an executive. With a few more months of training, you could be a professor. With a few days of training, you could be a minister with a title of Reverend. One could wear a tie to work and be someone important and respected.
For many of us, it was a big deal to be more than someone who worked at a restaurant or mowed lawns or painted houses.
Being at total cause over matter, energy, space, time, life, form and thought...well, that sounded pretty good as well.
The staff jobs sounded so great. The words, "executive", "reverend", "professor", sent a powerful image to me and helped to bring me into the fold.
Anyone else out there entranced by the positions offered?"

I especially like this post by NeeKee:
"I had read DMSMH, like R6Basic, and wanted nothing more than to be an Auditor. What I didn't realize was that I already was (I delivered a session with VVGIs immediately after reading the book). It was nice to have a place to go where I felt I was needed and wanted, valued, with my own comm basket! While it might be fun to make jokes about it, it really was a nice break from being a fry cook and dishwasher."
This is so human, this wanting to be somebody important and respected...in several easy lessons, in only a couple of months...the need to belong... to have an "interesting" job to tell the folks back home about, that one was "an Executive" in "an Organization", this helps me to understand the trap even more.
Read the thread, everybody, it's only one page.![]()

The VV had a bunch of them up last week. I'm not sure if they're the old known ones, but I saw at least 1-2 I haven't seen before. Dunno if Tony O would be willing to share/help if he got anything new. But he did say it was gonna be the first of many releases last week.

Why does anyone need to show a professional researcher and scholar something that can be found by simply doing a search on L. Ron Hubbard, Affirmations? Wouldn't you think he'd be able to find it himself?

I was having a discussion with you and with Helluvahoax about trusting other contributors, and, yes, you did bring up an hypothetical situation where something like that could happen.
Here's what you said:
And maybe you will be asked, in some way for money. A book?
So I answered the hypothetical.That's all it was. honest.
