Yes...
That's the Elron.
And I am well aware you and the posse would love to brand him as a sociopath.
Bottom line is you can heat the iron to incandescence but you can't get it to his hide.
Birdy,
IMHO, it's not a mattter of what we like or not.
For most of us, we never encounter the man (we only encountered his legacy...)
So labelling is just labelling ??? Yeah!
But in this case Birdy,
your beloved guru had been ''examined'' (by his own words, his behavior, his legacy) and by numerous experts, decades ago, till now..Psychologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, judges
concluded to almost the same ...Sociopath and\or narcissistic malignant (also pathological liar)
Why so many Hubbardites refuse to acknowledge the character had real issues with reality, evilness, cruelty, drugs, alcohol, sex misconduct, destroy people's life, blackmail them, and pathologically lying ????
Because they have been so brainwashed and indoctrinated that they are left only with a Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge cognitive dissonance in their attempt to escape the dellusion and the fact they have been fooled. Exactly the pattern you display ..Your own son died because of this cult..and you still venerate the cruel pervert he has been (per his behavior) to all human beings who approached him. That's LRH legacy in many people's life...deaths, suicides, families torn apartand a huge load of suffering for manyprior and following their wake up.
Move on..there is nothing either mystic or esotheric in LRH writings..it's a collection of non-sense hallucinations, lies,fabulations and stolen stuffhere and there..A lot written by ghost writers.
There is one way to measure the sanity of a person, it's his\her ability to face the true reality!
LRH didn't score very high as well as people who knowing the truth about LRH and the cult, still deny it in remaining to live in a the small shrinked world of LRH instead.
