The three headlines say it all…
Not only does this new meter now allow you not to think, it is THE thing that means “now we can really make it” and even more importantly, this meter is the “start of a new civilization.”
These hype phrases could be part of one of those games. Fill in the missing subject (new Meter/GAT/Basics/Congresses/Ron Series etc etc) and then add the “descriptors” to complete the sentence.
They keep using the same statements over and over and they describe anything from attending an event, to reading a book to running around a pole to completing OT VIII. Completely interchangable. What is most remarkable here is that you would imagine these poor fools were describing some NEW invention that will suddenly change everything. Yet admittedly, the Warehouse VIII performs EXACTLY the same function as the old Mark Super VII Quantum of Solace. It just does it “better”. Sort of like announcing that “new” Tide which washes clothes “whiter than white” is the earthshaking breakthrough that will suddenly change the face of the fashion industry.
Amazing.
I think what they are trying to suggest with “you don’t have to think” is no more Q & A in that this supposed new meter gives you the certainty and “KNOW” in what you see. It is however written at the level for an 8-year old or someone with the IQ of a rubber plant.
Again, he “stays in PT” suggesting his TRs won’t be going out in determining what just read. This is not the type of moronic dumb-down Kindergarten-speak I was ever accustomed to in Scientology. Must be a new culture of idiots I’m not familiar with?
Betraying meters? Nope, but I will agree the Mark VIIs are not functioning optimally, and in some cases properly in comparisons I have done with other high quality GSR meters. Plus they are getting on to 20 years, worn and failing electronics.
And then all the discreditable nonsensical over-the-top ascertaining rants … we now have KSW, new civilization, we will make it … more of the usual promotional hype.
There are better meters out here no doubt about it, and YES there are differences, some of them actually quite marked.
I like the comment, “It’s just like COB stated.” Where does LRH fit into this?!?!?
Since when does “I don’t have to think” constitute a win in Scn?? In the old days we used to equate “not having to think” with automaticities, something to be run out. Now, it looks like the EP of GAT II.
Funny, a couple years ago I was speaking with an OT8 about changes to the technology introduced by DM. Point blank, I asked her, “What do you think about when someone gets on the stage and proudly announces they’ve changed the tech?” Her response, “I don’t even think about it.”
“I don’t have to think” represents all that is wrong with RCS.
I guess they are fools today. If you address a question to the body then you can get a read on almost anything. „does your toe hurt?“ or „did the milk taste funny?“. Simply body electronics. Like the pinch test. Has nothing to do with auditing the being. Maybe this new meter is registering the heart beat too. After 3 seconds you have your 3 swing floating needle.
David, you are so far away from Scientologists. I don’t think I can invest words anymore.

Can I just say that I am so impressed by the wit on this thread. What a lot of clever, funny beings!
The Mark VII Quantum is a superb meter. It’s features far exceed its purpose.
The non-Quantum Mark VIIs as well as the Mark VIs are also superb devices.
Heck, people solo audited up the OT Levels on Mark Vs!
Not having the “Mark VIII” is why auditors in the COS have not been getting good results????? Hogwash! That’s like a carpenter saying that the reason he can’t build anything because he doesn’t have a brand new fancy hammer. A good craftsman never blames his tools.
The auditor’s comm cycle is an integral part of metering and the most important part.
Mike,
Does it “better”?
Personally I doubt it.
Maybe in the sense that the “New Coke” was “better” than the original.
Yet they try and give the impression that it does.
I guess since “auditors” in the Church these days don’t have to think anymore they’ll probably be dropping out “compute” in the definition of “auditor” or maybe they’ll just drop out the auditor entirely and have the Mk Ultra “audit” PCs for ’em.
To me these churchies fascination with the new Mk Ultra is sorta like the CIA’s obsession with drones.
Overhyped and nothing but “collateral damage”.

The meter website:
http://theta-meter.com/
Scientology has been corrupting language from the very start: first there came the huge morass of redundant jargon cooked up by LRH – and it is redundant – even his supposedly original coinage “enturbulate” is just a synonym for “confound”. The rest of Scientologese is mostly unnecessary neologisms and acronyms, substituting for perfectly understandable words that already exist.
That sort of internally consistent (but externally irrelevant) gibberish at least served some purpose in forestalling cognitive dissonance within the CoS, usefully isolating its members from external influences that might allow them to think for themselves.
But now the curse of Babel has reached a whole new level of cretinism under Miscavige and Sherman:
while “I don’t have to think” is a telling Freudian slip for “I don’t even have to think about it”, that last paragraph is even more chilling: the e-meter “never betrays”; “the e-meter is your friend. I was almost in tears”.
Will the few remaining dupes in the cult be expected to hold conversations with their shiny ‘new’ Mark VIIIs next? Or go to bed with them? Miscavige plainly has better relationships with his powerful motorbikes, expensive cars, burlwood pens and bottles of overpriced Macallan whisky, than with any human being – will the rest of the clams now have to follow suit?
The New Warehouse VIII is probably better, as are quite a few other meters out here in comparison to the Quantums. I have both the VII and Hank Levin’s analogue metal-cased Clarity Auto-Reset meter, and I won’t touch the CO$ meters ever again. Secondly, I like footpedal resets, last thing I care for are physical Dev-T Remote Tone Arms.
Does anyone know of any LRH reference for RTC or CST?
Yes, he talks about RTC in a Ron’s Journal and maybe elsewhere. CST is described in his Estate Planning.
Thanks Mike.
“now we can really make it”
When whoever wrote this wrote it, he was inadvertently admitting that up until then, he’d had the idea “we” wouldn’t make it. Even in church-approved success stories, you can see that people have been giving up in drives.
As for “now we can really make it,” LRH once wrote that any real security comes from within yourself. I agree with him on that point. Want to know you’re okay and can make it in life? Look within and be secure in YOU. No one else can do this for you, and certainly not the Captain of the Sea Org.
So the ‘source’ now is the e meter; it has nothing to do with auditor comm cycle and ability to read it.
Out-point – wrong source
Right Sylvia. Postulates and live communication are old and not used any more, so perception doesn’t have a chance.
The new E-meter is better for the Church because they can control every single one of them by turning them on, keeping them on and turning them off at will. Yes. An auditor no longer is in charge of his own E-meter any more. This goes for students, HGC auditors and Field auditors. Personally, I find this quite creepy. Especially since it’s supposed to be a High Crime to interrupt a session. Guess that’s ancient history now.
I just realized that the current state of things is that if (when) the church finally implodes and ceases operations, the Mark VIII Ultra E-meters will be so much junk…because they can’t be “renewed”. And those of us with Mark VIIs and Mark VIs and Mark Vs will be very happily auditing ourselves and others.
Not in charge of your own meter, same with the org
not being in charge of their own ideal org. Guess it
is the same with the sheeple, not being in charge of
their own thinking. DM has reached the pinnacle of
his efforts. Time to take a bow and leave as everything
is now DONE.
Maybe off topic
But does anyone know how many hundreds of millions was paid to David Miscavige by Eli Lilly
to cease negative PR about Eli Lilly by Scientology (CCHR)
Exaggerate to the point of meaningless.
Wow! You mean I completely wasted nine years and 18 sec checks and $180,000 using a piece of shit emeter on solo NOTs because Davey boy wouldn’t sell me one of the new warehouse meters that is 50,000 times more accurate and would have handled all my pathetic uncertainties???????????????
I’m so mad about this outrageous neglect that I’m going to think about writing a KR. Or maybe not. I’ll just get made wrong by the MAA on my next elig check. Closing my eyes and ears now.
Laughter! That is the message right? That man has no awareness of consequences. Next thing you know he will just send the staff out on Hollywood Boulevard to do purse snatching!
Yes, Oracle. And I’m sure he will continue to order them out there to do “CSing” while he watches over their shoulder like he always does.
🙂
Oh, I envision a new parlour game: can be played with two or more people (the mroe the merrier). One person thinks of a completely ordinary product or result, and the rest have to outdo each other with hyperbolic claims. Guaranteed to have you in fits 🙂
I’ll call it Save The Universe!™
The winner winner has to give a three hour sing-song speech, pausing only twice for breath and smiling all the time.
You forgot about the winner having to also dance disco while the song “Stayin’ Alive” is played over and over….
And make sure to have a sturdy couch nearby to jump on.
Well, thank god! What else is new?
No, seriously, when was the last time Scientology EDs or other seniors, or WISE company EDs wanted underlings who did any thinking? They need and want robots, cleverly disguised as people who know with such certainty they never_question_anything.
Guess they haven’t heard of the Theta Meter which is way more advanced than their $5000 Warehouse meters that were outdated before they were released. Runs on your iPad or Android device. In fact it’s way more than forward thinking Dave ever imagined. Don’t know how to put a link in here, but you can google it and find it on YouTube easy. Well I’m sure Dave knows all about it, but there’s no money in it (plugging an inexpensive USB device into your computer).
By the way Dave, my iMac costs less than half of your Warehouse meter and could probably single-handedly run the next manned mission to Mars. (Just to put things into perspective)
Definitely the religion of hyperbole. I love your analogy:
‘Sort of like announcing that “new” Tide which washes clothes “whiter than white” is the earthshaking breakthrough that will suddenly change the face of the fashion industry.’
Or – “the meter reads are now 50,000 times clearer.” Who makes that shit up?
Or the new ad that’s being shown on TV:
‘Now imagine that everything you ever imagined is possible.’
Well, I’m new OT8 and have had a ton of wins throughout the years, but I have quite the imagination and I can assure you that all of those wins are not even close to fulfilling everything I’ve ever imagined.
And, I don’t think it takes a special imagination for SCN to come up short.
No attempt here to invalidate your wins. If your imagination has been fully satisfied by SCN – then what can I say?
To me the ad is more of the over-the-top hype that states a Clear has an eidetic memory that can tell you what they had for breakfast 20 years ago. That OTs can bend steel with their bear eyes.
The whole thing is so paradoxical to me. There is so much good, but at the same time, so much unbelievable
exaggeration.
To me, the super bowl was amazing. How the underdog Seattle Seahawks had incredible confidence in their abilities and literally shocked the old, more experienced Broncos.
In many ways all this hype manufactures hidden standards and sets people up for potential losses if they ever do a course or some auditing.
RCS is a Lie Factory. Virtually everything that emanates from it contains some type of alteration of the truth.
And you’re right, any true, honest-to-God, goodness that can be found will be overshadowed by the false promises of the hype.
The Mark VIII meter is the start of a new civilization? So, thousands of years from now archeologists digging in middens and landfills will find a layer of Mark VIII e-meters, and know that they have found the boundary between the GAT I civilization and the GAT II civilization. They will pause in wonder at the indecipherable Sherman-Speak and search in vain for some kind of Rosetta Stone that can help them make sense of entire pages of exclamation points. They will search for evidence of great cultural and technological advances — search in vain.
That reminds me of the reports people made back in the ’80s about truckloads of Atari cartridges being bulldozed into landfills. The price of memory chips had dropped so low that Atari couldn’t sell the cartridges for a profit any longer.
Wikipedia says the story is true, by the way, calling it “a cautionary tale about the hubris of poor business practices”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_video_game_burial
Reading those headlines from bottom to top you get a New Civilization where you can really make it not having to think.
Where do I sign?
Reminds me of a skit in the Blue Man Group I saw a few years back. They were parodying the shaving ads with a new 5-blade razor for that ‘closest shave ever’. Got the biggest laugh from me. I think we’re actually up to 3 or 4 blades now, aren’t we? And how may meters?

When a needle is “cleaner than clean” we call it a dirty needle!
🙂
G
“cleaner than clean” we call it :
1. more expensive
2. GAT (next)
3. What Ron always wanted, but was lost by some SP, and now rediscovered.
4. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Auditing is not needed anymore! COB discovered that just by thinking about how awesome he is, you’ll get wins and gains beyond your wildest imagination!!!!!!! And he’ll come to you in your dreams so you can have a special connection to his Awesomeness!!!!!!! I don’t have the words to tell you how great I feel becuse of Dear Leader!!!!!!!!!!
Well damn that Ron Hubbard for writing K.S.W. series when it wasn’t even POSSIBLE with out this meter!
If it weren’t for David Miscavige finding this HUGE outpoint and noticing that Hubbard set everyone up for losses and unattainable goals, where would we be?
No wonder there have not been any Clears or OT yet! I’m sure David has cancelled printing on all Dianetics books! Who would audit with out one of these meters? Totally squirrel! Has the Nation of Islam been contacted yet?
Geeze, Hubbard really set everyone for losses because of the emeter.
NOW we can finally move forward starting with objectives!
Exactly.
Programmed to not be able to think for themseves. Which is real fundamental of real Scientology
Mike Rinder is Able to speake to anyone on many subjects

I did my Grade 0 Niels 🙂
You made my heart feel warm just yet, you must have been really idialistic when you joined the Church of Scientology, God bless your mothers heart.
http://www.smi.org/route/page34.htm
I like these old internet pages of the scientology religion best.
Sorry if I react so entirely without restraint sometimes.
It is just my nature
I am really sorry for your ex wife & your kids. I am sure they are lovely people. Dammit.
No wonder Miscavige doesn’t want to go on television behind Mike Rinder! Laughter! Tough act to follow Mike. And all you have to do is be yourself and speak the truth! He doesn’t even have that option. Not to mention, like who are they going to believe, him or you? I am just beginning to understand his predicament and why he is in constant hiding.
He sure ain’t shoveling shit in Louisiana.
Sure looks like it to me.
Robots!!!!!
