The CIA and Scientology – The Remote Viewing Connection

In the early 1970’s the Central Intelligence Agency sponsored the remote viewing experiments at Stanford Research Institute to investigate it’s potential use in clandestine warfare. Ingo Swann was the main remote viewer used in these experiments and the development of remote viewing, and was an experienced Scientologist who at the time had reached the highest levels of auditing available in the Church of Scientology.

It was actually Hal Puthoff, along with Russell Targ who co-founded the Remote Viewing experiments. Puthoff was also a high level Scientologist, Russell Targ was not.

Remote Viewing is considered an extra sensory perceptive ability, where a person can be trained to look at any place without using their human eyes. The CIA wanted to train people to be able to do it so that they could spy on the enemy. As you can imagine, having operatives who could perform remote viewing intelligence would put CIA in a very strong position to find out sensitive information.

In an interview for Coast to Coast AM, Swann talks about remote viewing and his experiences during the experiments and development of the discipline. Here is the first part (of 12):

How to Use Scientology…

I wanted to write something that provides value to anyone thinking of studying scientology, or who has recently begun learning any subject.

The advice is actually cryptically suggested in the title of my post ‘How to Use Scientology”. The idea is that if you’re going to study the subject – study it to USE, not for reasons that aren’t to do with USING.

LRH commented on how the VALUE of knowledge to a person is directly related to how one uses that knowledge. (see LRH study materials.) Many people evidently have ulterior motives to studying a subject, perhaps for reasons of status, “Look, I have a degree!”…

…And those types of people often don’t fully understand the subject they studied because they don’t ever use it in their life. This devalues the subject they studied.

So, here comes my advice to you. If you’re going to study Scientology (or ANY subject), study it for a purpose related to using it or doing something. Whenever you come across a datum in Scientology, try and work out how you can use it to improve your life.

For instance, read up on ARC (Affinity, Reality and Communication) and create examples on how to use it in your life. Then actually use it. Observe and evaluate whether use of that particular concept has helped you or been useful to you.

But if you don’t study scientology for use, but only as a piece of theory to file away somewhere, then you might as well not bother with it, IMO.

The big question to ask yourself when studying a subject or choosing a subject to study is “How am I going to use this subject?”.

Church of Scientology – Reform Now, Or Be Destroyed!

The Church of Scientology simply must reform now if it wants to survive. If it continues to ignore the worldwide hatred for it’s practices then it won’t last longer than another 10 years.

It’s membership has been going down since the takeover in the early 80’s, with over 2000 of the most experienced Scientologists expelled by the criminal David Miscavige at the infamous 1982 mission holders conference.

With the general public so aware about what the CofS is all about, and with an alternative for people who want real scientology without the CofS cult mentality and atrocities, the church, even with it’s celebrities, cannot expand and will contract…

…unless it reforms now.

But how exactly would that happen?

Well, the famous freezone scientologist Ken Ogger precisely laid out what the church of scientology needs to reform.

I would go further than Ken Ogger and add that David Miscavige needs to be taken away from power within the church, and the top scientologists who were illegally expelled since he came to power should be put in charge of the CofS to guide it into a new ethical era.

RTC (Religious Technology Center) needs to be abolished and the Church of Spiritual Technology must give up the copyrights of L. Ron Hubbard and put his work into the public domain so that anyone can read and listen to Scientology online for free.

Sound like a plan?

A PDF of Ken Ogger’s reform code is available here.

Is Tom Cruise “Out-Ethics”?

Something became clear to me when watching the Tom Cruise scientology video…

Tom Cruise, the most well known Scientologist in the world, has some serious misunderstandings about what Scientology is all about.

This is hardly surprising considering who taught him Scientology (the CofS), who are widely known to be changing the meaning of the subject by altering what L. Ron Hubbard wrote and said…

Tom is entitled to his view of the world and of scientology, just as I am by blogging here, but when he starts spouting off stuff about getting other peoples ethics in, he really needs to realize that ethics is a personal issue. You can indicate that someone is being unethical and perhaps they might want to look at it, but you cannot “put ethics in on someone else”…

In Scientology, it’s up to the individual to find out about himself. When it comes to ethics it’s up to the individual to find out what he’s doing right in life and what he’s doing wrong. Never try and put ethics in on someone else because:

1) It won’t work, and
2) It will backfire and cause you trouble if you try it.

But why is this?

Everyone has their own standards of ethics, and by you trying to “put ethics in on someone else” you’re simply enforcing your own idea of right and wrong onto another person. This creates resistance, resulting in upsets and trouble.

Getting Closer to the Truth about the Church of Scientology…

Ok, I found another youtube video message to the church, although it doesn’t say it’s from Anonymous. It’s a message to auditors (skilled practitioners in Scientology) in the church. It asks them to look at the out-tech being done in the church. This is the type of message that needs to get through to members of the church of scientology.

Anonymous Message to Freezone – Thank You!

This is a message from Anonymous to the Freezone posted on Youtube.

Thank You Anonymous! Your promise to concentrate on the church and not protest against scientology is appreciated and leaves me hopeful for what can be accomplished at your next protest in March.

Anonymous, A Scientologists Viewpoint

As a Scientologist who isn’t a member of the church, but who uses scientology independently in the freezone, I have a unique perspective to give about Anonymous.

It was Anonymous’ protests on Sunday that spurred me on to start posting my views in this blog. I had already decided to create a blog and bought the domain a few months ago, but the protests gave me the inspiration to act and raise my voice.

I could be overly critical of Anonymous or praise them too much, but my considerations rest somewhere inbetween. I think they’re doing some things correctly and are a positive activist group. But on the other hand I feel that they need to streamline and focus their efforts in a way that will be more effective, and less hypocritical. Let me start at the beginning, when Anonymous started to create some effects…

The first action they did was to take down some of the Church of Scientology’s main websites. Okay, now this isn’t legal, but I see that they’re just displaying their power, and that it’s an act of civil disobedience. A way to kick off their campaign. I personally disagree with this type of action, as it’s illegal and to put it simply, makes them look bad. As far as I’m aware they’ve ceased this illegal action, but it may hurt them in the long term…

So what are Anonymous’ aims and purposes?

They simply state that they want to destroy the Church of Scientology, as per their Youtube videos.

And they give valid reasons why too. Personally, I would like to see the church REFORM back to how it was in the 70’s (before it was taken over), minus the Guardians Office, (I don’t think a church should have an intelligence department and still be able to call itself a church.)

Anonymous arrived with a big purpose and a big threat, and so far they’ve delivered on it. Their protests on the 10th showed they were strong in numbers, about 7,000 protesters. That’s quite impressive and no protests on the church have ever been that big. Well done Anonymous!

But it wasn’t just the numbers that impressed me, it was the energy. These guys and girls seem to be quite young, mostly late teens and early 20’s, and they truly believe in what they’re protesting about. I have no problem with people protesting in the peaceful manner that they did.

But I do have some criticisms to make of their protests…

Firstly, Anonymous state that they want to destroy the Church of Scientology, and have nothing against scientology itself or the belief system. Yet, looking at some of the signs displayed from youtube videos and picture galleries, I did notice a few “Scientology Kills” messages and lots of Xenu type stuff. If Anonymous REALLY believes what they say, then this needs to be avoided in future protests, otherwise it comes across as being a lie, saying one thing, doing another – just what the church often does!

Anonymous needs to focus their protest MESSAGE so that they are more effective in winning over the general public AND having an effect on the CofS members too. They need to remember that the majority of church members are good people, intelligent people, compassionate people, and very driven. It is only a few bad eggs in the management that are causing the troubles. And so the management needs to be addressed…

This requires that Anonymous does the research necessary to understand what happened in the church in the early 80’s, how David Miscavige gained power, and what he’s done with it since.

It also requires, in my view, a look at the US governments interactions with the church since the early 50’s. The church is basically run from the top, by a very few people – and everyone else in the church has to follow their orders, even if they’re non-scientological (otherwise you pretty much have to leave.) I can also recommend Pat Krenik’s book “Scientology(tm) vs. Scientology(tm)” which can be bought from eBay as an eBook.

So what slogans can I recommend that will have an effect on the church members?

“Church of Scientology = CIAology”
“Church of Altered Tech”
“Disconnect From David Miscavige”
“David Miscavige Declared SP”
“Where’s Heber Jentzsch?”
“Get Standard Tech Outside the Church”
“F/N Alteration + GAT + High Prices = Squirrelled Tech & Off Policy”

These messages might stand a chance of affecting church members to look at important questions, questions which if answered will lead them out of the church.

Whilst these slogans have meaning for Scientologists, what about messages for the general public who aren’t scientology literate?

Well, again I don’t recommend attacking the beliefs or tech of scientology, but concentrate on crimes committed by the church, of which there are many.

One last point that’s worthy of mentioning is the association of masked protesters and activists to the Ku Klux Klan. It is very clever of the church to create this association in their statements about Anonymous…

The problem is that by being masked, it does look freaky and scary from an outside perspective. It looks threatening and fear-inducing, which Anonymous obviously has no problems with, but looking scary might backfire in the long term by losing general public support. I’m not sure I have a solution for this…

…But as long as it’s Anonymous’ only weakness in the future, and as long as they focus their protests in a more productive manner, the fact that they look freaky and scary probably won’t make much difference, IMO.

What Made Me Leave The Church Of Scientology But Not Quit Scientology?

As it stands, the Church of Scientology is an organization that is NOT following policy and is degrading and altering the technology. But what does that mean?

Look at the effects the cofs is currently producing…

The example of tech alteration that I linked to was from the PDC tapes, and is particularly relevant to the downfall and perversion of Scientology by the CofS. LRH talks about how Scientology could be used to enslave and trap people, just like any technology can be used for evil, and that the remedy for this is to pass the tech onto others so that it is widely known. As we can see, the CofS is hoarding the tech, claiming a monopoly over it, while in the process covertly altering it and using it to trap people. On the other hand the freezone is making sure that the tech is being passed along and used to help free people, help people become more aware.

As somebody (somethetan!) who has benefited from studying and using scientology, the tech is precious, like a great piece of art would be to an art lover, and as such seeing that it’s been altered by the church, I naturally had no alternative but to leave them. This wasn’t the only reason, but the straw that broke the camel’s back, as it were…

At the time I was researching tech alterations I was also delving into research of some of the malpractice of scientology policy by the church. The most significant of these is the price of auditing (receiving spiritual counselling, a fundamental practice of Scientology). The policy is for an intensive of auditing (before clear) to cost one months average income for the area the auditing is delivered in. This is the policy written by LRH.

But the church has abandoned this policy and charges nearly twice the average income.

Therefore to purchase scientology auditing in the church it costs considerably more than the average income. The repercussions of this Off Policy practice has lead to scientology being branded a rich man’s religion…

I also found out about a year after leaving the church of scientology that they had changed the definition of an F/N. This is a fundamental technical term describing a specific e-meter phenomenon used in the auditing process, and the changed definition has caused a lot of problems for those being audited in the church. Bottomline is that I wouldn’t want auditing in the church based on that one alteration of tech alone.

So here you have the fundamental reasons why I left the church. They engage in the malpractice of scientology, and there lies the root of their problems, at least from my point of view.

So why didn’t I quit scientology altogether? Well, that’s where the freezone came in. I found that there was a group delivering scientology auditing as written by LRH, and that people were winning in that group. I simply swapped sides to a team that was playing a better game!

What Got Me Interested In Scientology?

Okay, let me describe why I got into scientology. I’m not going to give exact details like where and when so I can stay anonymous, but I will give a brief summary of the events leading up to me finding scientology and actively studying it within the church environment…

When I was in my mid-teens I suddenly became interested in spirituality and philosophy. I read quite a few books and dabbled somewhat in some practices, such as yoga. But although I got a lot out of reading philosophy, spirituality and religion (and I still do) by the time I was in my early 20’s I was still open to new ideas…

And scientology was the new idea that I found. An interesting philosophy, a practical application of the philosophy to learn and have, and an organization (the church) that delivered all of this. I hadn’t heard of the freezone at that point…

In my first year I mostly read dianetics, had some dianetics (with only slight gain), read and liked scientology, and did the purification program and TR’s and Objectives Course (an incredible course).

I fell in love with the subject, with the tech, with the wins (benefits and improvements).

In my second year I read about a dozen books, more than many staff members had read in 10-15 years! I also got some more dianetics, and due to having done the purification program I got a lot more gain out of it the second time round (drugs and toxins can cause mental blocks which restrict dianetics and scientology auditing which is why the purification program is done).

Probably my favourite piece of scientology is the philosophy – that life is a game. It’s something that I found very useful and saw much truth in. And still do, more so as I’ve learned more of the subject.
