Please do not post copyrighted material on a.r.s., it just
causes trouble for all the ISP's of the world that then have
to go in and delete it.

Dear Ms. Kobrin,

Neither of these messages orginated on our server as the Path: shows.
as does the disclaimer in the headers. I will be happy to delete them from
our server for you, but picking on lightlink without also contacting every
other ISP on the planet to have them removed from their servers too can be
viewed as harassment.

Please don't post subjects using a 're:' as original topics.
Second: Unless a post to ARS is made using your own server, you have no
business making blanket requests to ARS as a whole.

Lightlink is *not* usenet, and, while you have a right and a
responsibility to care for your own server, you have *no* right or
responsibility to speak for ARS as a whole.

As the 'Church' proved recently with its 'Truthseeker' spambot, you are
at most capable of addressing evils originating on your *own* server.

ARS is not your bailliwick.

If the issue is the recent publication of NOTs material, the
*originating* server was:

Path: newssvr17.news.prodigy.com!newsdbm02.news.prodigy.com!
newsdst01.news.prodigy.com!newsmst01b.news.prodigy.com!prodigy.com!
newscon06.news.prodigy.com!prodigy.net!news-FFM2.ecrc.net!news1.dtag.de!
newsfeed00.sul.t-online.de!t-online.de!news.karotte.org!
news2.arglkargh.de!news.dizum.com!sewer-output!mail2news

*Not* Lightlink.

It's none of your business.

If the 'Church' of Scientology is ashamed of its own dogma, it's *not*
your problem.

Homer made the mistake a couple of years back of claiming to accept the
'good faith' demands (otherwise known as extortion) of the 'Church' to
'remove' whatever the 'Church' told him was a 'copyright violation.

Without any individual evaluation. Homer said he 'trusted' them :)

So, he got listed as 'caved in', and when now, someone begins posting
*very* interesting and pointed pieces of NOTs material, Homer gets a
message :)

Heh. The postings are'nt from his server. He can 'remove' all he wants,
but, it's like promising to burn all your copies of the bible...
somehow, I suspect there will be *other*, unburnt copies.

At best the 'Church' is hoping that people using googlegroups and AOL
etc. will think that there is only *one* injection point for all of ARS.

Silliness. As TruthSeeker proved by finding a new injection point once
Homer tossed him.

Homer controls only news2.lightlink.com. Anyone not using Homer's
server to post is beyond Homer's control. The 'Church' is only hammering
Homer because it knows that most of the newer readers of ARS are unclear
on the nature of usenet, and will think that Homer is something more
than a good guy who has offered a free newsserver.

I'm at a loss to explain why Homer, who knows how irrelevant he is to
ARS posts done *not* using his server, thinks he should issue a warning.

Good guy. Fucked Cult.

Tell them to fuck off Homer.
You should have done so years ago.

Irrelevant. Since the posts were not done using Homer's
news2.lightlink.com server, copyright is of no interest to him, except
if he chooses to delete the posts locally, and differentiate himself
from the other hundreds of thousands of nntp servers in usenet.

Helena has been more or less 'missing in action' since 1999, when she
went in to 'do' OTIII (as recorded in Kristi's records)

Since then, Ava Paquette has been in charge of sending out the 'bitches
and moans', but I don't think Homer specified.

I do think that somewhare in 2000, Helena did a *very* short term of
recuperation, but, I may be remembering wrong, and, I suspect she's not
considered 'ready for public purview'.

Whooo baby... that OTiii is some hard shit!

OT VIII, Part 1

US District Court, Central District of California
Fishman Case No 91-6426 HLH (Tx)

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex
OT VIII
HCO BULLETIN OF 1 OCTOBER 1969

SECRET

WHY THETANS MOCK-UP

This question has been the most plaguing one in Dianetics and
Scientology.

The ONLY way a thetan ever gets in trouble, the ONLY way he can
get trapped or become part of a cluster is by mocking-up and
inaking pictures of bad experiences.

And why record all bad experiences? This too is not good sense.

one can explain it by a yearning for eventi by havingness and
other ways, but these do not factually lead to a total solution.

The real reason stems from a characteristic of a thetan. He never
totally gives up.

There is, seemingly, a streak of resistance or resentment that
makes a thetan wish to persist in the same place. If he cannot, he
will do so covertly.

All power comes from the ability to occupy a point. The base that
separates two terminals must be firm or there will be no exchange
of energy.

The effort to weaken a thetan is to make him relinquish his point
In space. covertly or overtly a thetan seeks to assert his
position in space.

If he cannot do so overtly he does so covertly.

When a thetan is moved unwillingly from a point or position, he
even then refuses to give up that point, but MOCKS IT UP. He also
mocks up the events of his departure as a part of the action of
mocking up the point he is leaving. This, unwittingly, gives him
a picture, an engram.

Now let us see if this theory holds true in practice.

A. Just ahead of any engram there must be an effort to
retain a position and there must be a point or location
being mocked up.
This is true. You can blow an engram without running it
by spotting its first point in space and time. In a
secondary, "Where did you first hear of the loss" is a
vital question.
(0125)

B. In a Contact Assist getting a person to touch again the
point where he was hurt with what was hurt will blow the
engram.
C. Getting a person to locate areas (locations) that are not
safe produces blows of engrams without running them.
D. Exact and accurate dating sometimes blows an engram.
Those times when it does not, it should blow when the
location is exactly spotted.
E. Implants and traps were done mainly to keep thetans out
of an area. The thetan, resenting and resisting mocks up
the place anyway and so implants himself.
_____________________________

A thetan too easily substitutes a mock-up for a point in the real
universe.

one could also say that a thetan, by mocking up, warns himself
against certain points in space or areas in the Physical Universe.

Anxiety is solely not being able to be in certain places and not
where one is either.

making people leave is the most unpopular action unless one also
frees them to be anywhere.

Transferring people is a degrading thing to do to them.
(0126)

Jail denies a thetan all spaces except where he has been placed
and note that thetans are made very miserable in Jail. Jailing is
a sure way to confirm criminals and also to make them crazy as
well.

Any thetan, stuck in an engram, is asserting the effort to be at
the point where he was hit at the beginning of that engram.

An engram therefore is a refusal to leave a place at which force
was exerted to drive one away.

Reversely, one can refuse to be held at a place where one does not
wish to bt, but this is a negation of a place, a not-is of it and
its time.
Power of choice over where one is and where one is not is thus a
key to engrams.

Finally - a thetan mocks up because he covertly refuses to abandon
a location under duress and not-ises the place where he does not
wish to be but must.

Using these facts one can blow engrams without running them.

Some sample questions:

What point (location) is unsafe?
(0127)

What location could you have held absolutely?
Where did you first get an intimation of danger?
What place would you rather not be in?
What effort would it take to hold (that) (a) locatation?


Working with this you will see a door open to a higher level than
Dianetic R3R. But realize that it is only for a high level
thetan.

This is the road to returned personal power in the Physical
Universe.

They don't care at all. Their laws are the only laws applicable everywhere,
anywhere, wherever. That's how totalitarian scams and evil purps motivated
people and groups function.

Look the nazism, the stalinism, the christianism when it was still a bad cult
(even the last Pope said so and askes for excuses to populations and groups
having been wounded by the cult).

for the crime cult, they'll never expire. Do you know why? Because they
republish under the *almost* same wording from time to time, and pretend that
the past copyrights then are covbered by the new wordings...

Con-men one day, con-men always.

Copyright is just that, the right to reproduce a given work. Just
because you are allowed access to a work doesn't mean you are allowed
to reproduce that work yourself and do with it what you will. Saavy?
