Of all the things in Scn, I think that the "no case on post", was pretty well one of the biggest killers.
I think it was so, because it became a constant, it had an effect in so many ways, and it's a tough one to shake.
It seems that because of it......
- Body probs were ignored, including the need to keep fit and well.
- Compassion became a dirty word to many.
- In order to plough on, emotional issues that needed addressing couldn't be, and so after the constant squashing or burying they became extremely deep seated.
- Affording oneself time and space when needed became associated with weakness.
- Accepting and/or wanting "inflow" became associated with being a victim.
- A desire for basic rights became labeled as "off purpose" - "out ethics".
- Taking well deserved "time out" became an overt.
- Nothing was ever enough, and the ever increasing constant demands and/or standards set by oneself on oneself, were always somewhat out of reach.
- Operating on adrenalin (and taxing the hell out of or killing off your adrenal glands) became the norm.
- Self esteem diminished to the point where it no longer existed.
It's an insidious contamination that creeps in slowly, permeates everything, hard to detect, and a real challenge to get rid of.
I think that there are times when the concept and discipline of "no case on post" can be and is helpful. There are times when ya need to get into action and put all else aside to be effective. However, when it becomes the norm and it's constantly demanded of you, and then when you eventually end up demanding it of yourself.....it creates "permanent" damage.
IMO, the "no case on post" was the fundamental element of the evil within Scn, and that the contamination it created was LRH's worst crime.
