Our Scientology oversharer is back, and you tell us — has Grade 4 left her a lot less effusive, or is it just us?
She says over and over how her latest completion has left her “calm,” and she certainly does seem a lot less hopped up than she did after Grade 2 and Grade 3.
Claire Headley explained to us for our Up the Bridge series that Grade 4 handles your “service facsimiles,” and she tried to explain that to us.
As for some questions you run into during this grade, here is a sample….
“Tell me a flow you could get another to know something about.”
“Tell me some things another would want to have happen again to you.”
“In this lifetime what overt has another committed on you? How has he justified it?”
“Point out some things which are causing things.”
“In this lifetime, what do you use to make others wrong?”
“In this lifetime, what do you use to dominate others?”
“In this lifetime, what do you use to hinder the survival of others?”
Groovy stuff, truly. And at about $20,000 it’s a steal.
We also received the latest report from the totally on fire Detroit Ideal Org! This place is rockin’!
And from Italy, some new OT completions. Thank you to Richard for translations.
Auditing myself on OT 1 gave me a great peace of mind and a lot of love towards myself. An incredible amount of charge was blown, my anchor points have expanded and I operate at Tone 40. Now I can finally say that nothing worries me anymore and I have achieved an incredible sense of peace. — OT 1 Antonella Russo
This level was mind-boggling, full of mystery and filled with theta. I am now totally self-determined and full of goodwill, plus my level of necessity has gone up. I have so much admiration for others and the future is wide open for me. — OT 2 Bohdan Sikora
This has been a fantastic and astonishing journey, I have never had an experience like this before. You cannot imagine it until you are here. For example, when I read the EP of OT 3, where it says total self-determination is restored, I didn’t really know its meaning, I thought I was already quite a self-determined person, etc. But … I wasn’t. But now I can say that I am in control of myself. Totally. It’s a big thing, a big step, being an OT. I’m really happy that I started to be a little more myself. It makes one feel at ease. — OT 3 Anita Dorina Lovas-Nemes
I feel completely at peace and my mind is very clear. I removed another “mountain”. My space has never been so fresh and my perceptions are powerful! My awareness has increased and I no longer dramatize any of the things I used to dramatize, as I have rid myself from the effects of drugs on the whole track. The difference is simply gigantic!!! — OT 4 Penny Spanou

“Where does that leave psychology?…This is the way the wheel is going to turn. And the wheel has already begun its slow inexorable spin. They are about to become a more radical element of Scientology. And we’re about to become the conservatives and they’re about to become the revolutionaries. They’re the Johnny-come-latelys, the cowboys in the black hat. And we’re the old homesteaders, been there a long time. And they’ll give us all the propaganda we want to drive this point home, because it will outrage them to such a degree that every time they pick it up or hear it they will go into a complete scream. They will help us. In every university they will help us. They’ll explain to all of their classes, ‘Hubbard is crazy because he says actually Scientology is a very broad subject that psychology is just a part of,’ Ha-ha-ha! None of the students are laughing. Students can understand a radical offshoot, or a Johnny-come-lately type of an approach that says all men are animals.” — L. Ron Hubbard, September 1, 1964

“According to a long newspaper article John F. Kennedy picked up a body in Germany five minutes after he was killed in Texas. Spotting and naming the people of his family and office and mentioning personal habits and actions, this is John F. Kennedy all right, now 7 years old is now the son of Johan Schuler of Munich and has the name of Johan Schuler. The parents are worried about his ability to lead a future normal life. An interesting point is not that he picked up a new body but that Germany is now alert to ‘reincarnation.'” — The Commodore, September 1, 1971

“While doing the Hubbard process today, I somehow saw very small spots, totally ‘STILL’ spots, appearing and existing (of nothingness without motion) within the composition of all problems and everything else one doesn’t like. I was seeing absolutely still, tiny places or spots within EVERYTHING that I saw after, and when, I began to look and pay attention to these tiny gems of silent tranquility. These processing wins came about when I began looking with more discernment at these spots today. Enturbulating situations and unwanted conditions plague us all, I think, but only because we are not looking at them very well. It is in these still spots that peace and tranquility reside. The reality is that enturbulation is the product of two ends of a polarity working against each other in very balanced opposition to one another. It’s because these forces are completely in balance that we have the creation of enturbulation, I think. It would not be hard to prove that every problem, object, person, and molecule is available to give us heaven on Earth. These quiet spots are newly found friends for those who extend their vision to include subtle frequencies. It is perhaps laughable that we can teach almost anyone this extended vision in about ten minutes. Thanks, for the great ride and your continuing research trove of technology, Mr Hubbard.”
1996: The Associated Press carried a story concerning U.S. presidential candidate Bob Dole and his staff’s desire not to have him associated with Scientology. “As the vacationing Dole made his way down Santa Barbara’s main drag, heading for dinner Monday at Joe’s Cafe, he and a crush of autograph seekers drew near a building prominently labeled ‘Dianetics — Church of Scientology Center.’ Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, a top policy adviser to the Dole campaign, eyed the surrounding horde of news photographers and tugged at press secretary Nelson Warfield, pointing out the Scientology center. Its storefront sign would likely land in the photographers’ frames if Dole headed in a straight line down the sidewalk. ‘You don’t want him in front of there. Cross him over there, then cross him back,’ Rumsfeld instructed while gesturing across the street.”

“It’s too bad Russell Crowe didn’t become a full-time Scientologist. He would have been the ultimate batshit crazy Scieno. He would have made Cruise look like Mr. Rogers.”
