Each night at 9.00 p.m. there was a loud SNAP – A large firework exploded – at the same time there was a ringing in my ears – it was from the town hall clock – there were also waves of light from the exploding fireworks display – plus as the clock struck the hour – a cherub would come out and blow its horn – it would then go in and something else would come out – there then was a shattering series of SNAPS (many exploding fireworks) – then I went back to sleep.
This occurred every night whilst I was in Las Palmas.
This has got to be the greatest post ever on the subject. So reminiscent of the book ; ?How to Hypnotize Yourself with Your Eyes Wide Open?!
http://www.amazon.ca/Instant-Self-Hypnosis-Hypnotize-Yourself-Your/dp/1402202695
So what did you observe the guy to be assisted by at the time this got recorded in the wacked out hubboverse?
Now I'm going to ruin everything!
I got tremendous gains running OT III.
Not from the description of what was written - but from the items that were portrayed.
End of a Civilization.
Entities.
Being Captured.
Explosions.
Major despots.
Loss of loved ones.
Loss of Games.
Advanced Societies.
Mind Control Organizations.
How a Civilization came into being and how it got destroyed.
Corrupt Managements and Groups.
Many varied types of identities and games.
Types of Implants - especially 3 dimensional implants.
Were they real or imagined - obviously imagined as they were over and done with - but I increased my viewpoints on what could be possible.
The biggest gain was in the area of communication with entities.
To start with I did not buy into the fact this had been done to me - as I read the material - the logistics were insane.......
It was an exercise in triggering bizarre stuff - and running it out. In combination of the Scio universe, 18 major comm eves, it gave much to confront and handle. So I did.
I kept my basics in.

Chariots, horns, cherubs, snaps - It's standard movie and greeting card imagery - do you also read your horoscope in the daily newspaper?
And had you read the book, 'History of Man'?
I'm sorry, but your anecdotal account doesn't mean a heck of a lot, when it comes to most other people.
If it's *your* incident, then that's fine.
The significance of "OT 3" was part of the justification for the people-abusing Sea Org, and for further applications of the 1965 Fair Game Law.
Scientology and Hubbard were less sane after OT 3.
It was - regardless of how *you* feel - a "wrong item" for thousands of people.
Mainly, it was, and is, just as described - a kind of implant, from Hubbard, into the minds of those doing OT 3.
And it didn't fulfill its promise of removing the "final barrier to OT," which is why many people went along with it in the first place.
If you like the feel of your tush on Commodore Hubbard's whoopee cushion, that's your business.
Most people would rather sit on an ordinary chair.
Addition, for clarification: Obviously, considering the theory of "OT 3," what is described as "incident 1," and also "Incident 2," do not have to be the person's own incident. The point is that the person was *told*, from an authoritarian source, in a Cult ("Totalist") environment (Scientology as crafted by "Commodore Hubbard"), the contents of his own mind or his own space.
IMO, OT 3 is not, primarily, about "entities" or telepathic communication with entities, etc. It's primarily about subtly overwhelming the person with an evaluation from on high - from "Commodore Hubbard," who becomes the source of "absolutely vital to survival" special knowledge ("say the magic words"), and, in doing so, drives in the mental hook a little deeper.
IMO, Hubbard had a hidden agenda.
And this has already been covered in past posts, and past links, for anyone interested.
Your assertion explodes in light of facts. I know of many people who have done OT III outside of that environment, and without any expectations or fanfare, and who have yet had great gains from it.
One is presented with data, and one runs it by the meter. If it didn't read dramatically I'd have cause to believe you.
And to answer Alan's message above that, it doesn't matter a tinker's cuss whether we're running a real event or a combination of bits of other events, case gain is case gain. Although I fail to see how that theory works either, given that we're focussing on a specific date and location whilst running it. Or at least I did, anyhow.

This sounds like Pamela Kemp, another early OT 3 completion, who, by her own account years later, when given the materials of OT 3, and finding herself dealing with the electrified atmosphere of the newly established Sea Org, largely ignored both.
She then attested to OT 3, but was never subtly possessed by its significance, and the new power and super-authority that it bestowed upon Hubbard.
She was an exception, and I might count myself also as an exception. However, most people are not exceptions, and most people don't creatively make the best of it, although, from my experience, approximately 5% do, and I probably qualify as one of that 5% - but so what?
Most people became an *effect* on OT 3, effect of being told the content of their own minds and own space, effect, more than ever, of Hubbard and Scientology - while attesting to "freedom from overwhelm."
Scientology *did* become less sane after OT 3, and the things that you described above, with regard to your creative coping with having been given the OT 3 materials, happened despite that.
Your experience, a few other people's experience, my experience, is not the point. What occured to the overall subject is the point.
Unfortunately, what you just wrote will be interpreted by some as a recommendation for Commodore Hubbard's "OT 3" - however, most people are not you, or me, or that small percentage that creatively copes.
And those are the people I'm writing about on this thread. And those are the people with whom I'm concerned.
Although I fail to see how that theory works either, given that we're focussing on a specific date and location whilst running it. Or at least I did, anyhow.

A friend just sent me this:
Apparently there was an even earlier version.
An actual live dramatization
Hullo Alan,
We arrived in Las Palmas in May 1967.
Our slipway was in a back street near the Lighthouse. At the end of the street was a large church. On Saints Days ( there were many) they had various religious ceremonies.
<Snip much good information>
By the way, the first person to successfully complete OT2 was Mary Sue.
I trust this clarifies matters for you.

Wow....this just gets better and better.....

Oh, I see you added a "snip" later.
The part about LRH injecting cocaine into his thigh must have given you some unexpected TA motion.
You are quite correct.
But, lets get to "why" the apparency of wins!
Attacking it - does not get the message across.
I've spent a considerable amount of my life cleaning up screwed up cases and Scio's.
95% of the case conditions were caused by wrong items - the worst area of wrong items stemmed from self invalidation. They blamed themselves because the Tech did not work on them.
When mostly it was the wrong tech at the wrong time.
The biggest losses for most people was when they attempted to do the Clearing Course and upwards.

Wow....this just gets better and better.....
Here is another account of an early Scngst going through "The Wall of Fire".
There are other articles by that author about Bill Roberston, LRH and others.
Wow....this just gets better and better.....

Why would it? LRH died with Vistaril up his ass. You could say case-wise, he was a real mess....so what? It's not my case. nor my cross to bear.
You certainly spend a lot of effort being right. I dig your viewpoint....but I don't agree with it. C'est la Vie.
I'll give you this much: the Standard tech Freezone, and Ron's Orgs, are an improvement over $cientology. They're "kinder and gentler" than $cientology -a kinder and gentler version of the (post-1964) Implantology that you dearly love.
However, you're into e-meter worship, I'm not.
I recognize that Hubbard had an ulterior motive, you don't.
You steer people into the booby-trapped Commodore Hubbard/Emperor Xenu "Bridge"; I think that's irresponsible.
