I was recently reminded of this piece of Hubbard nuttiness.
By the time the 80’s rolled around, the new “tech” from Source became patently ridiculous. “Pain and Sex” and other strange rants would appear sporadically, the one here is one of the kookiest. Though of course the story of OT III is hard to top for wackiness, what with the “spaceships” that looked just like DC-8’s, volcanos that didn’t exist and thetans somehow “frozen” in glycol, at least there was a sort of running space opera theme and he still had enough sense to not make it public. This “OT Maxims” is pure rambling nonsense that says nothing at all — presented as magnificent “technology” from advanced “OT levels” which will “result in never-before-dreamed-of states of being for thetans” (demonstrated in the real world by Hubbard himself suffering physical and mental breakdown, frantically trying to electrocute his body to be rid of pesky BTs and clusters?)…
These are OT “maxims:”
One’s power is measured by how much you can control
Using power “uncleverly” results in destruction
Improve your control by doing it on a gradient.
These are concepts that might have found their way into the Way to Happiness had he thought of them that day. They are hardly earth-shattering or new. These ideas were expressed Hubbard’s early books. Thirty years later he regurgitates them as “new discoveries”? And as evidence of his magnificent research into the never before dreamed of states beyond man’s wildest imagination.
But there you have it — a glimpse into the pinnacle of the “Bridge to Total Freedom.”
I would love to see the clay demo of light years kiloton per microsecond!
Certainly, many people have sensed at first contact, and tried to express, that somehow, there was something wrong with Hubbard’s Scientology:
(Posted on this blog – as ‘Through the Bubble – Lili’s Adventures in Scientologyland,’ , is what Lili sensed. She managed to stay with one foot on the ground of real life.)
Already the cornerstones of Scientology introduction: “A.R.C.” and “K.R.C.” –
Hubbard’s “Affinity” is a SUBSTITUTE for actual Love.
Hubbard’s “Reality” is a SUBSTITUTE for actual Reality.
Hubbard’s “Communication” is a SUBSTITUTE for actual Communication.
(it makes up the, in Scientology famous “A.R.C.” triangle – which fails because it SUBSTITUTES actual interest in Life, and actual friendship for people, with a fake or artificial, and temporary connection to people)
The same with his “Knowledge,” his “Responsibility” and his “Control” or “K.R.C.-triangle.”
They are SUBSTITUTES (fakes) – for the actual concepts that originate from real life.
Most people don’t bother to describe air, they just breathe. But when air gets poisoned, it becomes valuable, if not essential, to define what it is made up of.
In Hubbard’s case, you might find quite some use in defining and understanding the nature and origin of Satanism:
It SUBSTITUTES actual Life, with the “postulates” of the strongest Satanist, if you like.
Here: Hubbard’s ” ‘MEST’ (=material) -Universe” – which, like Satanism, intends to DENY and Oppose the Creation (actual Life).
It’s quite the same case with Communism: It equally SUBSTITUTES real life and real people, and life’s joy, with its famous “class-struggle” and “revolution” by Dictatorship, “to achieve Freedom.”
(In fact, the actions and “reasons” given by Communist China, and now also in Russia, are very recognizable to those who studied or experienced Hubbard’s Scientology “Morals and Ethics” subterfuge.
Now Hubbard promises not just Freedom but “TOTAL [fake] Freedom” with “TOTAL [fake] Knowledge,” to justify “Total [fake] Control” taking “Total [fake] Responsibility” for “[a Pretense of] ALL of Life.”
with best possible wishes,

The funniest thing about scamology is that it is internally inconsistent. Hubbard’s “thetan” is NOT part of the physical universe per him YET its power is SOLELY defined by the physical universe. This type of thing is why Hubbard would blow a gasket if one of his sheep decided to study formal logic. He couldn’t have them see the insanity.
It AMAZES me how I never cease to be AMAZED that Hubbard really needed his head examined and so did I for trying to wrap my head around his craziness.
Seems like you are forgetting that all Thi’s just a continuation or part of his fantasy writing as Science Fiction career.
I know how I would imagine ‘controlling on a gradient’ but I wonder how Hubbard imagined that phrase
It is a long time since I studied physics but:
kilotons (mass) X Light years(distance) / microseconds (time) is a measure of momentum.
Power is something completely different.
Hubbard claimed to be a nuclear physicist but, whenever he talked on any of the physical sciences, he made errors that would cause a schoolboy to blush.
Light-year kilotons of *what* per microsecond? BS? That’s the only power Hubbard had.
I guess you could say DM is pretty good at bad control. Very disharmonious I would say! That means DM is uncleverly…is that a word?…applying control. I bet he would disagree with me and try to badly control me into harmonious thinking that aligns with him.😂😂😂
I remember hearing Hubbard say once, “I have all the data. I just keep reshuffling the deck.”
Looney tunes had nothing on him. I should have put my money on Daffy Duck though, better odds for a saner outcome.
“Uncleverness”??? WTH?
“The way to improve your control or another’s is to do it on a gradient”.
Guess Putin should be sent to Cramming.
👌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How could you make sense of a thing which is based on nonsense.
Light-year kilotons per microsecond. I see.
I woke up today feeling pretty damn good. Last night as my meat sack lay sleeping I was busy as a Thetan exerting my OT Power. I 47x-ed my light-year kilotons per microsecond output and destroyed a couple of degraded evil civilizations in another sector of this guh-lax-ee by expanding my spherical spatial length 5.4x so that my Havingness and Doingness overpowered their Beingness and squished them like a gnat.
Later today, I hope to be able to have a decent BM for the first time in a couple of days thereby demonstrating that I have full Control over the pesky GE who is constantly running Counter Intention to my Thetaness.
😂😂
I did an experiment earlier today and can say without contradiction: If you stand still you don’t move.
😁😂🤪
By God’s good grace, I escaped Scientology. It has been seven years since that fortuitous departure. No more reading HCOBS such as this one; no more Word Clearing and endless Word Chains.
I would challenge any OSA net nanny monitoring this blog to ‘word clear’ the “OT Maxims” bulletin. I’ll personally pay for your next ‘OT’ level if you can do it. Or, ‘ARC Straighwire’ if that is where you are still at on the ‘bridge to total freedom’.
Come on, OSA net nanny. I’d jump at this offer if I was still “in.”
I only have two palms to lay on my face.
