How do you keep the members of your totalitarian organization from letting stray thoughts creep in while they’re at home under lockdown? Spam them with a lot of nonsense, that’s how.
Exhibit A: This breathless dispatch aimed at Irish marks is something we thought you’d want to get a look at (even though you’re not supposed to see it at all)…
WE ARE WINNING!
Well Hi!
Advertisement“Lockdown” Day 27….Whether you are greatly enjoying your time at home or have reached a state of intense cabin fever, the only thing to do is: continue investing this time in creating a better future!
And as we look forward to the possibility of this all coming to an end (or at least easing up), here is a tip: remember that even if your usual business or activity is closed, there’s no reason you can’t keep your comm lines open and keep communicating.
Through communication alone you can keep yourself and your business or job alive as LRH says in this simple but powerful quote:
“A man is as dead as he can’t communicate. He is as alive as he can communicate. – LRH”
Now let’s look at last week…
30th Anniversary
HUGE congratulations and V-E-R-Y W-E-L-L D-O-N-E to the utterly brilliant Dublin HGC Auditor, Dermot Ryan who celebrated his 30th Anniversary as a trained auditor this week. (And yes if you were wondering – he started young!)Team Targets
Yet another week of setting and achieving targets as a team: The brilliant Dublin OT Committee and Dublin public team made the target of 70 public active and sending in lessons this week!!! (And yes, you know that the target is only going to increase so let’s keep going!)

Public and staff combined sent in nearly 600 Extension Course lessons with a total of 30 Extension Course Completions!!!! WOW!!!!!!
Commendations, congratulations and “air hugs” to those who completed courses last week!
[NIKKI AND MAURO COMPLETED 2 BOOKS IN 1 WEEK!] The staff in the org marking lessons are well organised for high traffic and yes – we ARE ready for more!
We also welcome to our Dublin Extension Course roll call three new public who are doing a Scientology Course for the first time and another four who we hadn’t seen for a while – welcome back!
Meanwhile, there were 290 hours of co-auditing produced at Avon Ri (our public and staff accommodations) this week! All those involved are highly commended!
Putting Future Services There
75 brilliant, beautiful, high intentioned, forward thinking (slightly crazy) and FANTASTIC Dublin public made flows this week towards future services!!!!
AdvertisementAnd by the way, if you are one of those amazing public at home wondering “Wow, I WONDER how much do I have left to donate to complete my next service in full” – don’t be shy just give us a call.
Our intention is to have everyone ready to walk onto their next service when we re-open our doors.

Other News
I do hope you participated in the Irish Sun Pub Quiz last week and answered the question “Who founded the Scientology Religion?”…
Last week we also heard that many countries are experiencing a marked decrease in air pollution while on-line libraries in Ireland are experiencing a large increase in book reading.
Otherwise, the media was distinctly lacking in any “new news” (probably a good thing).
HOWEVER
FABULOUS news came in from Flag that we had surpassed 7750 public on Solo NOTs and the number of Solo NOTs Sessions being done at home continues to be highest ever – with a Solo NOTs session starting somewhere on the planet every 12 seconds!!!
AdvertisementMeanwhile, our #spreadasmile video has now been viewed 6.1 million times on youtube…
And above all else, here’s some news (information) from LRH to show that freedom, not slavery, always wins:
Among the many things Man has done, in his worries about his mind and his state of being, in his efforts to control others, is the adoption of slave philosophies…This is a trick of very limited workability, for it leads eventually into the entrapment of the user himself. It is a demonstrable law, not an opinion, that he who would enslave his fellows becomes himself enslaved. – LRH, HANDBOOK FOR PRECLEARS
Hope to see you all (in person) soon!
Love, Chloe & the team in the Org

Jon Atack on Scientology’s 1,000-yard stare
——————–
“The fact that a bank has been built and maintained and added to works against just achieving higher levels of beingness in the process of livingness. And that is all that prevents it. And this was quite revelatory to me. You’d say this is not much of a point and it’s true enough, it isn’t much of a point. It’s one of these elementary things that doesn’t change around the basic concepts of Scientology any. But it does this, it does this: it puts a different complexion on this universe; and it puts a different complexion on what you might care to do; and it puts a different complexion on your future for the next two hundred trillion years. See, this changes that. Your concept that the only thing you could do is get to a point where you could get totally out of this universe, or something like that, if you had such a concept — the only way you could ever win is to just get away from all this MEST and space and so forth — those concepts are, apparently, invalid. Which is a very hopeful happy note. I feel like a certain Pollyanna idiocy taking over, you see?” — L. Ron Hubbard, April 25, 1963
——————–
“I was inserted into a meat body and lived in an age old rural space in ancient buildings. Endless study from books and tablets for several thousand of what I would call years. This space was large and somewhat Earth-like, but still separate from the general population of this universe. I was asked often about what I had learned and what I was learning. This was the portion of training in which punishment was introduced. The pain, and confusion, and disorientation implants. Electronic implants as well as deprivation implants. But it was done in such a way that it was always your fault for making errors. These implants were effective, but depended entirely on previous training and AGREEMENTS for their strength. The most powerful and most difficult implants to find and sort out were the times of ACCOMPLISHMENT. When I learned to keep a balance between keeping harmony and initiating new activity, according to the instructions, I was given praise and graduated to the next step. The abilities that I was not allowed to use in order to keep things ‘fair for all’ etc. Using mental machinery to predict occurrences is an example of things not allowed. These were VERY powerful postulates and decisions that were imposed. And this was just the most recent universe. There were many before with similar training requirements and ‘accomplishment’ implants. Each one more refined and more effective than the previous.”
