Don&#039;t forget the Purif and Ethics, also downstairs and on the other end of the building. If I remember correctly, Ethics was down another level near the staff dining area.]]></description>

Funny! I personally have never experience haunting in that area. It is the lobby and there is much foot traffic through there, so who knows?
Other areas of CC, I think so, but who really knows? (The room above the restaurant on the 5th floor has had some strange stories of haunting)]]></description>

I would certainly be willing to chip in to help Courtney be short-lived (though, as usual, she&#039;s doing most of the heavy-lifting herself (the rest she is paying to hve done to her).]]></description>

You can have all the patience you need.  Know there is a community cheering for you.  

My one suggestion - try each day to find a little time to find some  peace - in order to balance out the stress.  Quiet moments of piece can be a quick drive to notice the beginning of fall through the changing colors of leaves.  Or walking in a garden for a few minutes to notice the daily changes that we usually don&#039;t notice and thus miss the quiet beauty of nature.  Or what ever brings you peace.

That said - here&#039;s the old 90s cliche &quot;You Go Girl!&quot;]]></description>

Any child raised in the SO or Scientology has little &quot;landmines&quot; in their education. We were both no exception from the Flag OOT days. I didn&#039;t have to deal with the slavery that was work-study, thank God. But there were many facts you had to accept or be sent to ethics on (yes, they were quick to send anyone who had a valid point of logic to the Ethics section at Flag in 1996) which weren&#039;t &quot;facts&quot;, but total made-up bullshit.


For example, in the Study Tapes, LRH derides Einstein&#039;s theory of relativity, and states that Einstein was only considering the speed of WHITE light, and that a prism proved that light at different wavelengths (color spectrum) traveled at different speeds.


Having gotten into astrophysics later, this was a pretty clever trap for anyone who didn&#039;t know wavelengths can travel at the same speed, but different frequencies. As a supervisor, I remember a number of students who got bogged down on this &quot;clever point&quot; because, well, it wasn&#039;t true. Especially any student with a high-school science education.


Bizarrely enough, education is considered riddled with &quot;false data&quot; and discredited within Scientology. Most likely because anyone highly educated in the sciences would see right through his bullshit, and walk out.]]></description>

I&#039;m sorry to hear about the difficult times you and your family are enduring. Just remember there are a LOT of people around here that are behind you. When you are a Bunkerite, you are never truly alone. :)

Best of luck to you in the next few months. We will eagerly await your return. (((Hugs)))]]></description>

I like your final goal.  Like you, I was raised in Scientology. Indeed, I went to Delphi with your wife and Marc Headley.  I was regged to donate several thousand dollars.  Either my dad gave the money, or on one occasion I called my grandmother (not a Scientologist) to give $3,000.

I share your sentiment, I&#039;m much happier with myself outside of Scientology, and I can look back on my upbringing in a positive light. I knew many great people.  I wish I could communicate to current Scientologists, in such a way that they could see (like we have) that life beyond Scientology is quite rewarding.  Instead I&#039;ve hit the immediate filter that we must have overts, withholds, or we&#039;ve suffered some misapplied use of the tech.  In a funny way, it&#039;s like taking down the Berlin Wall to find a way through to current Scientologists.

In the mean time, live an enjoyable life.  

Best Regards,
Sasha
