The latest in the series of Saturday morning conversation starters from Terra Cognita The Fallacy of Exchange in Scientology Ron Hubbard’s theory of exchange is not only a central component of Scientology financial policy but is a pervasive consideration in just about every aspect of a Scientologist’s life. Members are taught early-on that being “in-exchange,” is imperative. That what they give must be commensurate with what they receive. Giving more than one receives—“exchange in abundance”—is even better. Giving less than one receives—“out-exchange”—is an overt—a misdeed, a moral transgress … [Read more...]

This represents expansion as a being? Words and pictures total disconnect. Rounding them up... Not enough people to generate even a small crowd in "mighty" My Mammy, so they will fly them in. Think about that -- investing $40 million for a new facility even though they cannot scrape together a thousand people to attend the opening. Rocketship? Yep. Everyone. Should amount to 1500 total for the entire US... Blast from the past Wow - Kevin was a Sea Org member in the mid 70's at Flag... That's some serious progress up the Bridge in 40 … [Read more...]
Scientology Clearwater Hissy Fit
The Tampa NBC affiliate website covers the latest news in the Scientology v. Clearwater war of 2017. Here is how the article begins: CLEARWATER, Fla. (WFLA) — The Church of Scientology has declared an economic war on Clearwater Marine Aquarium and the stakes are high — $26 million in tourism tax funding that the church wants to block at Tuesday’s Pinellas County Commission meeting. The church’s anger stems from a land purchase dispute involving a dirt parking lot next to Clearwater City Hall. The aquarium recently defied the church by selling that land to the City of Clearwater on April 20 … [Read more...]
Form Letters
Desperation in the bubble. The "senior" officials of the senior orgs of scientology are sending out form letters begging people to show up at "special briefings" about how orgs are going to "clear their zone"/"go St Hill size now." Wait, I thought that with the ribbon being yanked on "ideal orgs" there comes automatic "10X expansion"? Inglewood has been "ideal" now for years. SFO for much longer than that. Tens of millions of tax free dollars expended... And they are NOT clearing their zones? And are NOT St Hill size? Dear Leader has been selling the ideal orgs strategy for 15 years … [Read more...]
The 10X “Ideal Org” Expansion
The expansion is R eally setting in at the largest Ideal Org on earth, where, a month after their glorious ribbon yanking that heralded the dawn of clearing their zone, they are taking North Hollywood by storm. Check out the amazing accomplishments they are so excited about: There are "some" new people who started on a service out of the 20 total. I guess the number was too large to actually count if you only have two fingers so they settled in "some" which sounds better than 3 "Many" people are "completing a course and resigning for more." How amazing is that? And the huge new … [Read more...]
Clearing the planet in striking distance
The endless stream of unreal babbling that comes out of the bubble is astonishing. Here is a new one that just came in. "The clearing of the planet has come in striking distance"? Really? Inglewood is "clearing it's[sic] zone" - they are not even clearing their block. In fact, I don't think they have cleared a single person this year. Not one. "How to reach Eternal Freedom FOR REAL" - riiight. So, if this is all happening, why does the Snr Case Supervisor WUS have to get people to a briefing? And what IS the real reason for holding the briefing at all? To get people … [Read more...]
The Illusion of Self-determinism in Scientology
Weekly Saturday feature from Terra Cognita The Illusion of Self-determinism in Scientology Self-determinism is a highly touted state of being in Scientology. Being self-determined is a goal of every Scientologist. “Other-determinedness”: not good. Deciding for oneself: good. “Self-determinism is that state of being wherein the individual can or cannot be controlled by his environment according to his own choice. In that state the individual has self-confidence in his control of the material universe and the organisms within it along every dynamic. He is confident about any and all abili … [Read more...]

LRH and Hawaii? Maybe it's the 75 million year old volcanoes? Packaging thetans into clusters? No words for this... Well, maybe "childish" or just "weird." How could they be so tone-deaf? Anyone in Tampa Bay knows that associating yourself with scientology is not a winning strategy. What, no SP building? That's the only building anyone is interested in... Are you ready? To give us more money. That's what it means to be "part of the team." All of Phoenix rising up the Bridge Riiight. Why don't you have your guy be a … [Read more...]
