A mindfuck is a mindfuck; absofuckinlutely. just to remind you COS isn't the only place you can get a full education in that.You are using the Tone Scale ala SOS, where arbitrary manifestations of arbitrary states of beingness are arbitrarily assigned by Hisself.
Training drills are done to strengthen a scn'ist's intention to control another with his intention alone.
Nevermind.
A mindfuck is a mindfuck however one defines it.
I LOVE this image! I want to make it my new avatar!
What have I done, LRH said at the bottom of every overt lies a misunderstood word. We can now add misspelled.

Yay, now that is well worth reading. Reminds me of Martin Luther writing to a friend saying 'it is my will that you outlive me.' Apparently the guy did.Well now Phenomenon, it is my Tone 40 Intention that your sprightly and charming voice be heard at this forum for many more years.

I think (hope) you were joking Birdy because that comment epitomises the arrogance of scientology ... fortunately Phenom is well aware of who's 'intention' determines her path ... she has determined it all her life.Well now Phenomenon, it is my Tone 40 Intention that your sprightly and charming voice be heard at this forum for many more years.
I need not be reminded. Scientology was not the only Byway that I wandered down. It was the most costly in the end ; not of money ( I managed to get audited and trained all the way from " wog" to Class VIII NOTs Auditor plus OT VIII, as well as OEC/FEBC for less than $20 grand), but rather the loss of my daughter.I think (hope) you were joking Birdy because that comment epitomises the arrogance of scientology ... fortunately Phenom is well aware of who's 'intention' determines her path ... she has determined it all her life.

O Don't discourage him, Trouble. I need all the good intentions I can get.I think (hope) you were joking Birdy because that comment epitomises the arrogance of scientology ... fortunately Phenom is well aware of who's 'intention' determines her path ... she has determined it all her life.
Ough, ouch. I am so sorry Phen. Um, are stories like the Luther one, or CP's good wishes couched in arrogant form, I mean, if it wasn't for the sense that real hurt might be in these I wouldn't be asking now, it would just be kindness; but are we treading on someone's vulnerability here? Or is this only another of my overreactions?I need not be reminded. Scientology was not the only Byway that I wandered down.

I made a load of wrong decisions, but this disconnection carries the sharpest sting.
There was no arrogance in my good wishes to Phenomenon other than those read into it by others.Ough, ouch. I am so sorry Phen.

Um, I don't know what to say to that CP; the arrogant bit was a possibility of interpretation, just as you said, I wasn't thinking about that at all; just wincing because I am a parent too, losing a child no parent ever gets over.There was no arrogance in my good wishes to Phenomenon other than those read into it by others.
It's classic "A=A=A" thought. People have been subjected to arrogance in CoS and then they see arrogance in anyone who speaks well of Hubbard's work.
Auditing for me is a noble calling and a labor of love. I've worked wonders often for many people using the basic insights of dianetics.
ps I am one who never was in COS, so I'll never be commenting on it.Um, I don't know what to say to that CP; the arrogant bit was a possibility of interpretation, just as you said, I wasn't thinking about that at all; just wincing because I am a parent too, losing a child no parent ever gets over.

Ough. I can only weep with you.You don't have to tell me that.
My first born son was dead four years before anyone would even tell me he was dead
Trubs, you keep telling me you can be horrible; all I have ever seen is your immense lovingkindness.Ough. I can only weep with you.
Lol! Trust me, I have a streak of pure monster running through my veins that comes out on occasion (usually when there's a full moon) but thank-you anyway.Trubs, you keep telling me you can be horrible; all I have ever seen is your immense lovingkindness.
