How Scientology Works 198- Study Tech
Richard Ford
One part obvious truism.
One part inflated ego.
One part pure gobbledygook.
Study tech is also like other parts of Scientology in that it seeks to
solve problems that Scientology has itself created. LRH knew that
every Scientologist must be presented with their ruin every day. If
they ever consider themselves cured they will leave and get on with
life.
According to LRH there are three main reasons a student does not
understand something.
1. Lack of mass.
This is series of physical and mental sensations caused by studying
something that is not solid or real. Students of Scientology
frequently suffer from this due to the evasive and hypnotic language
LRH frequently uses and because the concepts are often gaseous or even
meaningless.
The student will feel like leaving Scientology and becoming involved
with something real instead. To prevent this LRH suggested touching an
object repeatedly until one feels better.
Strangely- this does work- but it is a nonsensical solution to a
nonsensical problem. It would be better to take this 'lack of mass' as
a warning that the subject is not related to real life.
2. Too steep a gradient.
This states that if a student becomes bogged down on chapter two of a
book they should make sure they fully understand chapter one.
This is not more than common sense- and something we all do naturally.
Unfortunately it is also a way of battering down critical thinking.
Students will often read the ramblings of LRH and wonder if they mean
anything at all. If it were not for study tech they would probably
eventually leave the cult altogether.
Once the student has been convinced that it is HIS FAULT that LRH
sounds like a bullshitting windbag he will suspend disbelief in order
to escape from it. The student may also be punished for independent
thought by being forced to re study old materials if they ask
questions that are too hard to answer.
3. The misunderstood word (MU).
This is yet another way to transfer blaime upon the student. LRH
frequently misunderstood basic words such as 'science' and 'ethics'.
This results in confusion and disaffection on the part of the student.
To overcome this LRH sought to install his own definitions of certain
words in his followers. This makes it hard for the student to
understand anything outside of Scientology- which is probably its main
intention.
Do not underestimate Study Tech. It is quite evil.

"What is it about Scientology that the leader of Scientology
couldn't have these flaws addressed?
Seriously.
If this is the modern science of mental health,
if this is the salvation of mankind,
why is the leader of Scientology a petty little dictator?"

probably kill file you within the week!

Hi Richard, I am suggesting you link Harlan Saxons earth shaking
video's to each of
your own world class pieces...the combination may complete the job of
digging out scientologys
cancerous root.

Thank you for your kind words. I have about another 100 of these in my
head ready to write out. Yes. Aaron needs to be promoted widely and
could write some good stuff if he chose.

this ball game keeps changing. in 1995 we had hundreds of active
posters, ARS was the most active
NG followed by major magazines such as wired with political
participants from the EU, elected officials in Germany,
some are still here occasionallly.
what one wrote got wide publicity and was logged, often posted to web
sites around the world..
still it took rrepeat postings to get anything to sink in... took a
few years... on hot issues, such as eltubbo and his
satanist background, 10 years believe it or not and thousands of posts
by myself and a few others ..that was even with
tapes of hubbard jabbering on in admission.
Your stuff is thinking mans material... many wont spend tbe effort,
but it is this sort of material that is the most valuable in the end..
it
kills the cults roots... it goes to their operating algorithm....
there are free hosting web sites you can find and copy that to... and
that will work if you include a link to it from each of your posts..
it will alllow academics, govt and intelligence agencies now
interested in how all this happened to find all of your stuff in one
spot.
then all you have to do is post the most hard hitting ones
occasionally, with a link to the web site....
you are coming up with observations not considered before and not
known to most deprogrammers... it needs to be out there in a packaged
format,
