scientology with the definitions from the Technical Dictionary and
Science of Survival. The reasons for including it should be
obvious; it provides a prime example of the tortuous windings of
the thought processes of an active-phase cult member, while also
using many of the cult's terms and stock phrases in their natural
context. There's a startling similarity in phraseology between
Scientologists...reading this excerpt from sdraper will provide
much insight into how a Scientologist thinks and speaks. The heavy
strains of the cult's cruel Ethics system, as when sdraper talks
about "criminals," is strangely juxtaposed with such words as
"freedom" and "spiritual." In addition, the paranoid thread that
runs throughout the organization as a living testament to Hubbard's
own insanity is clearly seen in the lines about sec-checks, being
"under attack," the omnipresent "chaos merchants" and "criminal
organizations."
In my words:- I provide these definitions from Scientology
materials so as the interested reader may apprise themselves of the
component parts of the basics of ethics. Scientology is a religion
founded on ethical systems and conduct, by using the understanding
that freedom is found for the individual by that individual taking
responsibility for their past, present and future. Some criminal
organizations have recognized this as a threat to their survival or
criminal intent to rob mankind of spiritual freedoms and have thus
gone about in quite a methodical fashion to undermine the work of
Scientology in the community. The E-meter and auditor combination
can be used to locate and find criminal acts and criminal persons
within the Scientology organizations using security check
procedures. This is done so that either criminal actions can be
repaired; the person is relieved of their criminal impulses or the
criminal can be expelled from the organization. Scientology as a
religious practice is about the individual taking responsibility
for themselves and others across the dynamics. It is a good
organization under attack, from ignorance, from evil intent and
from those who are not into taking responsibility in general. It is
my personal belief that their are suppressive individuals in
society, suppressive groups, chaos merchants and the like who
knowingly attack the truth either consciously or unconsciously.
They are repelled by the fact that others wish to stop criminal
action. They are repelled by a group that has the capability to
find them out. They are repelled by concepts of freedom, love and
honor and higher spiritual concepts. I don't mean to say that CoS
or other Scientology type organizations are error free, or pure of
overt acts or anything else. This is no justification for errors
made in the past. But the interested reader needs to understand
that this is what the subject is about, these are the basic issues
involved. If this is not being done then Scientology it isn't!
