Should auditors try to look Clear?
by Phil Spickler
28 Jun 00

My fellow Listers,
        Anxious as ever to get my 3 cents (adjusted from 2 cents for
inflation) into the discussion regarding the condition of the dynamics of
anyone in the business of improving other people's dynamics, I'd like to say
the following:

        Most, but not all, public people, or prospective clients, pcs, etc.
etc., according to the black cat that I live with -- who by the way is an
authenticated Clear OT -- well, she says that people who are involved in this
sort of public service work should look to the eyes, especially of new
public, as though they have derived some of the benefits of the type of help
that we are advocating they buy from us who are promoting and delivering it.
This is just a point of simple reality, nothing very convoluted or complex or
difficult to understand.

         Many previously and currently successful organizations of lowly
humanoid business people have understood this over the centuries, and used it
to be extremely successful.  Therefore, it's probably a good idea to present
to the public an image of having received the benefits of whatever it is
you're selling.

      So therefore, if an auditor is extremely skinny or anorexic, or is very
fat or obese, it could be a large out-reality for many potential customers.
Or if an auditor had very bad teeth or very bad breath and their clothes were
tattered and dirty and their hair was unkempt, they might be a really great
auditor, but they'll have a lot of trouble reaching the able.

         I think folks like Pam and Ray Kemp understood what we're talking
about very well, and just naturally presented to their public in terms of
their building, their staff, their interior decoration, themselves and their
family a beautiful image of what Dianetics and Scientology could do for
someone.

        Many people in the C of S, at least when I was in it, and Ron hisself,
were terribly addicted to cigarettes and smoking.  Like most addictions,
whether it's nicotine or food or some other drug, or many other
possibilities, you're almost always looking at someone who's having trouble
with Start, Change and Stop regarding whatever it is they're addicted to.  I
had an opportunity over the years to use control processing, such as CCH's
and SCS, Op Pro by Dup, and many others, on individuals and even a few groups
that were hung up on one thing or another, and lo and behold, these simple
processes, when well run, certainly can and do rehabilitate an individual and
their entities with the ability to start, change and stop just about anything.

        Some folks feel that they are way beyond these processes, and even
though they have obvious and major problems in the area of these abilities,
they choose to ignore the benefits that can be obtained by getting run on
them, as well as finding out who are the "who's" and what are the "what's" in
their universes that are having such a heck of a time with starting, changing
or stopping.

        So I would definitely come down on the side of those that advocate
that a person in the healing arts get their first dynamic in a condition
where it looks like it's been fixed.  It certainly suggests then that the
possibility of things like a Dianetic Clear and other states are really
possible.  Of course, the second dynamic is another high-reality area, and it
wouldn;t be a bad idea to put a good face on that, too.

        We mustn't look to Ron Hubbard as much of a role model, especially in
his later years, for what to present to the public.  His first dynamic,
following his disastrous appointment to Commodore of the Sea Org, became
something that would have scared the pants off just about any public person,
and his second dynamic turned into the most shameful thing of all, as many of
you reading this know.  But by then he was insulated by so many layers of
people who were determined to handle the Emperor's clothing problem by
denying it that the condition of at least his first two dynamics was not that
well known outside of the inside.

         And, like many people in the Sea Org, especially aboard the ships, he
couldn't get any decent auditing or ethics handling.  Anyone attempting it
was soon removed from any possibility of such actions.  If you ever audited
any of the poeple who came from the ships to places like ASHO or AO, you soon
discovered that it was not OK even in session to say anything about the
Commodore, conditions in the Sea Org, or any other flagrant violations of any
of the former ideals of Scientology and Dianetics -- instead, results and
indicators were phonied to a degree that was almost impossible to believe.

        Anyhow, forgive the digression and allow me to close this poor excuse
for a communication with a few further thoughts.   One of the things that Ron
did was use as a service fac all the wonderful things he was doing for
mankind, thus he could be excused from having the terrible things he was
doing brought to view and handled.  And I continue to suggest as a cautionary
note to those who are following in his footsteps to please get off the idea
that because you're processing or training people who process or you're field
auditing or whatever, that that somehow makes you right and everybody else
who could be doing the same thing but isn't wrong.  That's a really shitty
service fac, and it doesn't serve you very well at all -- it just makes you
look as though your Expanded Grade 4 never happened.  If you ever blow that
service facsimile, you can then start enjoying the whole cast of characters
that make up the world and universe, even if they don't fit your exact design
for everyone.

        Well, there, I've said it and I'm glad, and I'm putting on my flak
vest and armor and retiring to my fallout shelter as I complete these last
few words.

       As ever,
         Philip the Unpopular
P.S.  This doesn't answer the question as to whether someone with a
less-than-optimum first dynamic and/or second dynamic can still be a genius
concerning inventing, creating and building empires, both spiritual and
material.  E = mc squared was not inhibited by Dr. Einstein's inability to
balance his checkbook, his scruffy appearance, his bad breath, and his
unwillingness to acknowledge that women have great minds also -- which
somewhat answers the aforementioned question.  But the hour grows late, and
so let's take this up again in a later communique.
