"Movin' on up a little higher
Mark "Marty" Rathbun's Place
I was a member of the Sea Organization for twenty-seven years. I learned how to audit and troubleshoot virtually any technical problem at every level of Scientology. For years prior to leaving the Church I was regularly called upon by its top-ranking members to resolve its toughest and, in many instances, most high profile cases.
This could be read as "seriuosly brainwashed and trained to seriously bainwash others" in, and with, the seriously dangerous procedures developed by the Grand Mindfucker Ron Hubbard.
Having dug myself out of the dark pit where many who leave the Church land, I began lending a hand to others similarly situated.
How long have you been out?
What are your current views on the workability of the "tech", serious problems you see in the "theory" and practice of scientology (including "dianetics".?
What was it about your experiences that lead you to call it a "dark pit" from which you "dug yourself out". How did you dig yourself out?
A lot of folks seem to be suffering from the inculcated idea that once they depart or cease to slavishly follow every arbitrary dictate they automatically forfeit any spiritual gains they may have attained along the road. Natively conscientious as most beings are, such an evaluation can begin a pernicious dwindlng spiral of self-invalidation and unhappiness.
I understand this phenomenon and the internal dichotomies extant within the organization that bring it about. In the process of reversing the decline in myself and in others certain lessons were learned that might be of some assistance to those who have experienced the same.
What do you say to the suggestion that the best thing may be to let people finally sort themselves out, instead of offering yourself as as expert/facilitator in their personal psychological journey.?
I offer a simple program of rehabilitation of previously recognized abilities and education on universal truths and principles of spiritual growth. I do not offer a substitute for Scientology nor am in competition with the Church. I am only offering to share all the skills I have learned – from a wide variety of sources - to help those in need who once formally participated in Scientology but who now hold no hope nor intention of ever seeking help from the Church.
What methods do you use? Do you use an e-meter? Do you use scientology jargon (e.g. "ARC breaks, earlier similar, as--is, flows,")
My services are peformed in a relaxing, bayside environment with unlimited space and fresh South Texas air. Reasonably priced accommodations – which include plenty of Southern hospitality – are conveniently located within a short, pleasant walking distance.
My services cost whatever you think they are worth, within your means, after completion. I ask that you pay me one-half of whatever you determine that value to be when you head back home. Then, if after a month you believe your original estimation was correct you can send me the other half, or not. It is entirely up to you. "
What benchmark amount of money per hour do you think would leave you feeling that you were not adequately compensated for your time/services?
