Хаббард Л.. Проблемы работы

   Вы обнаружите, что понимание целей Вашего тэтана немного полезно, когда Вы захотите убедиться в том, что Вы одитируете тэтана. Он был уже довольно старым, когда впервые зафиксировался на идее управления телами MEST. Это было не настолько давно, если он все еще работает как раз вне тела (на расстоянии длины руки от кисти до плеча). Одна из причин, по которым он зафиксировался на теле MEST, заключалась в том, что ему стало ужасно скучно (he was terribly bored).
   Существует значительная помеха в бытии в качестве тэтана с той точки зрения, что он в достаточной мере бессмертен. Даже циклы смерти будут выглядеть привлекательными для того тэтана, чьи аберрации низвели его со своих целей и надежд, которые он одно время имел. Теперь он начинает возлагать надежды на тело MEST. Это тело будет расти и умирать, но уж по крайней мере оно будет изменяться. Аберрации низвели этого тэтана до такой точки, когда он не мог видеть, что какие-либо изменения возможны, и не мог видеть, как могли бы быть когда-либо достигнуты его собственные цели; поэтому он зафиксировался на теле MEST, втянулся в точную механику работы и заботы об этом теле, стал еще более аберрированным от вредного влияния существ в этом теле и из-за неуверенности бытия в смертном теле, потерял свои цели как тело MEST, и в конце концов стал грязно пресыщенным всем ходом вещей.
   Теперь магическим образом Вы открываете для этого тэтана шесть или восемь банков, заполненных семьюдесятью триллионами (или поменьше) лет с инцидентами. Тэтан - это фокусник по части любви действовать как некто другой. Это привело его к вере, что он сам - это тело MEST. Ну и, конечно, это также заставит его поверить в то, что он - это кто-то из банков существ, которые Вы для него откроете. И он позволит Вам одитировать эти вещи до второго пришествия. Вот замещающее другого бытие - лучше, чем подвижная картинка.
   Но попросите этого тэтана взглянуть в лицо (confront) тому бытию, от которого он с дрожью отказался. Никогда! Это было скучным. Он всего этого натерпелся. Он актуально знает, что с ним произошло, но было довольно плохо заставлять его желать того, чтобы он это забыл - до тех пор, пока он не забыл это на самом деле. Он скажет, что он - это то или другое существо. Он будет счастлив - вместо того, чтобы смотреть в лицо своему собственному прошлому - просто продолжать как прежде и умирать в качестве тела MEST.
   От этого существует два лекарства. Первое - это Е-метр. Это несравненное лекарство. Вы сможете вычислить личность каждого банка в пк и знать, что тэтан не является ни одной из них. Вы сможете выявить все трансферы - от первого до последнего. Вы сможете обнаружить местонахождение любого инцидента, который должен проходить тэтан.
   Теперь, при использовании Е-метра, Вы обнаружите нечто странное в отношении тэтана. Вначале прибор будет намного более активным на существах, чем на самом тэтане. Например, в одном инциденте тэтан должен был быть ВНЕ тела. А в другом тэтан мог просто проглядеть (не заметить) и подсунуть на Ваше рассмотрение инциденты, которые он никогда ранее не видел. Он будет без конца помогать Вам одитировать этих существ.
   Те, кто продолжает проходить инциденты, не обращаясь за помощью к Е-метру, достигнут многого по отношению к телу, и очень малого по отношению к тэтану - так как повышения в тоне нет, хотя время одитинга продолжает расти. В тех, кто постоянно проводит самоодитинг без какого-то направления, тэтан просто слишком примирился с телами MEST и дает существам великолепную тренировку. Иногда телу становится лучше. Тэтан же никогда не улучшается. И он-то и есть "Я".
   Поведение тэтана в прошлом часто копировалось после того, как он брал что-то от существ. Он обнаруживал, что роль существа может рестимулировать, стал актером и играл эту роль. Он покидал свой собственный банк сам и пренебрегал этим, хотя там тоже были аберрации, которые можно было драматизировать. (И между прочим, Вы обнаружите, как иногда тэтан пытается остановить тело от драматизации содержимого банков существ.)
   Банк тэтана - именно то, что Вы хотите - будет давать Вам менее активный ответ иглы, чем банки существ, когда Вы впервые начнете одитинг. Это вид негативного отсортировывания. Но Вам может потребоваться одитировать одно-два существа потому, что существо останавливает тело на траке.
   Найти нужно банк тэтана и одитировать его. Конфликт в этой личности происходит от амбиций тэтана, которому мешают лень, тупость, а также желание смерти и разрушения со стороны существ. Вы можете одитировать любую сторону конфликта, которую пожелаете. Но если просто сделать тэтана достаточно сильным, то существа становятся довольно смирными и не действуют сами, или даже не реагируют на Е-метре и уходят.
   Другой ответ таков: прочистите текущую жизнь с особым вниманием ко всем трансферам в ней, со всеми переключаемыми трансферами, и со всеми трансферами контроля. Одитируйте тэтана, работающего с телом, до тех пор, пока не проясните достаточно хорошо текущую жизнь.
   Вы обнаружите, что Вам придется начать с того, что Вы дадите пк упражнение, в котором он обнаружит, где тэтан. Просто одитируйте его вверх-вниз по траку через различные инциденты - с хорошим вниманием к процессингу единиц внимания, и каждый раз обнаруживая тэтана вне тела и работая с ним. У пк будет расплывчатое понимание работы с тэтаном, но он получит хорошее представление о местонахождении тэтана. Теперь - в текущей жизни - найдите, когда тэтан был отвлечен от своей задачи шумами или какими-то доводами в окружении.
   Пройдите симпатию тэтана к телу, а также отказ тэтана иногда чувствовать симпатию. И особенно проходите антагонизм или ярость со стороны тела на другие тела, а также направленную со стороны других тел на тело тэтана. Вычислите все DED - DEDEX'ы, истощите их, а затем одитируйте вхождение тэтана где-то в районе момента рождения. Это не вхождение это вступление во владение motor controls.
   Когда Вы добьетесь того, что этот тэтан будет в хорошей форме в текущей жизни, он будет уже обычно достаточно сильным, чтобы энергично браться за КУСАНИЯ, ОХВАТЫВАНИЯ, ЗАИМСТВОВАНИЯ. Но не удивляйтесь тому, что, когда Вы проходите первый из них, после этого обнаружите, что тэтан использовал банк существа. Любое воровство, однако, хорошо для одитинга. Любое охватывание по второй динамике показывает Вашему пк раз и навсегда, что он ЯВЛЯЕТСЯ тэтой без тела - если Вы покажете ему инцидент, доведя его до следствия.
   Если кейс неспособен найти тэтана в текущей жизни, то возьмите самое молодое существо и одитируйте его.
   Обычно это тэтан, но перенесенный вовнутрь тела.
   Сколько Вам потребуется, чтобы одитировать тэтана до состояния чистой тэты, никто Вам не скажет. Кейс поднимается высоко очень быстро. Используя это ноу-хау и 80, Вы получите клира MEST за очень короткое время. Помимо недоступных людей и обычно психотиков, большинство кейсов должны стать клирами MESTза несколько недель напряженного одитинга.

   1. ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
   1.1 What does the word 'Scientology' mean?
   The word 'Scientology' means "the study of knowledge" or
   "knowing about knowing" from the Latin word 'scio' which
   means "know" or "distinguish," and from the Greek word
   'logos' which means "study of," "reason itself" or
   "inward thought." So it means the study of wisdom or
   knowledge, or "knowing how to know." 'Scientology' is
   further defined as the study and handling of the spirit
   in relationship to itself, universes and other life. The
   word was coined by L. Ron Hubbard.
   1.2 What is Scientology about?
   Developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology provides *exact*
   principles and practical technology for improving self
   confidence, intelligence and ability. Scientology does
   not require faith or belief -- one can apply the
   principles and see for oneself if they work and are true.
   Scientology addresses the spirit -- not simply the body
   or mind -- and is therefore completely apart from
   materialistic philosophies which hold that man is a
   product of his environment, or his genes.
   Scientology is a religion by its basic tenets, practice,
   historical background and by the definition of the word
   'religion' itself. It is recognized as such by courts in
   country after country around the world, including the
   highest courts in the United States, Australia, Germany,
   Sweden, Italy and many others.
   All denominations are welcome in Scientology.
   Scientology is a *route*, a way, rather than a
   dissertation or an assertive body of knowledge.
   Through its drills and studies one may find the truth for
   oneself. It is the only thing that can show you who *you*
   really are.
   The technology is therefore not expounded as something to
   believe but something to *do*.
   1.3 How did Scientology start?
   L. Ron Hubbard began his studies of the mind in 1923. In
   1947 he wrote a manuscript detailing some of his
   discoveries. It was not published at that time, but
   circulated among friends, who copied it and passed it on
   to others. (This manuscript was formally published in
   1951 as _Dianetics: The Original Thesis_ and later
   republished as _The Dynamics of Life_.)
   As copies of the manuscript circulated, Mr. Hubbard began
   to receive an increasing flow of letters requesting
   further information and more applications of his new
   subject. He soon found himself spending all his time
   answering letters and decided to write a comprehensive
   text on the subject.
   His first published article on the subject, "Terra Incog
   nita: The Mind," appeared in the Winter/Spring 1950 issue
   of "The Explorers Club Journal", followed by the book
   _Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health_, which
   was published May 1950. It became a nationwide best-seller
   almost overnight. By late summer, people across the country
   were not only reading the book, but were also organizing
   their own groups for the purpose of applying Dianetics
   techniques. The book has remained a best-seller ever since,
   again becoming number one on the "New York Times" best
   seller list, almost four decades after its initial publi
   cation. It continues to appear on best-seller lists around
   the world.
   During the course of thousands of hours of Dianetics
   counseling on thousands of individuals all over the
   country, incontrovertible evidence was amassed about the
   fundamentally spiritual nature of man. L. Ron Hubbard
   himself had discovered early in his research that man was
   a spiritual being, inhabiting a body and using a mind.
   These discoveries led him to realize that he had entered
   the realm of religion.
   In 1954, the first Church of Scientology was formed in
   Los Angeles by a group of Scientologists. Within a few
   years churches had been formed across the country and
   around the world.
   In the years that followed, L. Ron Hubbard completed his
   research into the spiritual nature of man. Today, all of
   his writings on the subject are available to anyone who
   wishes to study Scientology. Although Mr. Hubbard
   departed his body in 1986, he is still with us in spirit
   and the legacy of his work continues to help people
   around the world.
   1.4 How come it's all based on one man's work?
   In the early 195Os, L. Ron Hubbard wrote:
   "Acknowledgment is made to fifty
   thousand years of thinking men
   without whose speculations and
   observations the creation and
   construction of Dianetics would not
   have been possible. Credit in
   particular is due to:
   "Anaxagoras, Thomas Paine,
   Aristotle, Thomas Jefferson,
   Socrates, Rene' Descartes,
   Plato, James Clerk Maxwell,
   Euclid, Charcot, Lucretius,
   Herbert Spencer, Roger Bacon,
   William James, Francis Bacon,
   Sigmund Freud, Isaac Newton,
   van Leeuwenhoek, Cmdr. Joseph
   Thompson (MC) USN, William A.
   White, Voltaire, Will Durant,
   Count Alfred Korzybski, and my
   instructors in atomic and
   molecular phenomena, mathe
   matics and the humanities at
   George Washington University
   and at Princeton."
   1.5 Why is Scientology called a religion?
   'Religion' is defined as "Any specific system of belief
   and worship, often involving a code of ethics and a
   philosophy...." (_Webster's New World Dictionary, Third
   College Edition_).
   Religious philosophy implies study of spiritual manifes
   tations, research on the nature of the spirit and study
   of the relationship of the spirit to the body; exercises
   devoted to the rehabilitation of abilities in a spirit.
   Scientology is a religion in the most traditional sense.
   It deals with man as a spirit and is distinguishable from
   material and nonreligious philosophies which hold man to
   be a product of material circumstances. Scientology does
   not demand blind faith, but endeavors to help the
   individual discover past experiences and shed the trauma
   and guilt (sin) which encumber him.
   The Church of Scientology also conducts basic services
   such as sermons at church meetings, christenings,
   weddings and funerals.
   1.6 Why is Scientology a church?
   The word 'church' comes from the Greek word 'kurios'
   meaning 'lord' and the Indo-European base 'kewe', "to be
   strong." Current meanings of the word include "a
   congregation," "ecclesiastical power as distinguished
   from the secular" and "the clerical profession; clergy."
   The word 'church' is not only used by Christian
   organizations. There were churches ten thousand years
   before there were Christians, and Christianity itself was
   a revolt against the established church. In modern usage,
   people speak of the Buddhist or Moslem church, referring
   in general to the whole body of believers in a particular
   religious teaching.
   A church is simply a congregation of people who
   participate in common religious activities; 'church' is
   also used to refer to the building where members of a
   religious group gather to practice their religion and
   attain greater spiritual awareness and well-being.
   Scientology helps man become more aware of God, more
   aware of his own spiritual nature and that of those
   around him. Scientology scriptures recognize that there
   is an entire dynamic (urge or motivation in life) devoted
   to the Supreme Being (the eighth dynamic), and another
   dynamic that deals solely with one's urge toward
   existence as a spirit (the seventh dynamic).
   Acknowledgment of these aspects of life is a typical
   characteristic of religions. Thus, Scientology is a
   religion and the use of the word 'church' when referring
   to Scientology is correct.
   In the 1950s, Scientologists recognized that L. Ron
   Hubbard's technology and its results dealt directly with
   the freeing of the human spirit, and that greater
   spiritual awareness was routinely being achieved. There
   was no question in their minds that what they were
   dealing with was a religious practice; thus, in the early
   1950s, they voted that a church be formed to better serve
   the needs of Scientologists. The first church of
   Scientology was incorporated in 1954. Since that time,
   dozens of court rulings in many different countries have
   upheld the fact that Scientology is a religion.
   2. WHAT SCIENTOLOGY DOES FOR THE INDIVIDUAL
   2.1 How does Scientology work?
   Scientology philosophy provides answers to many questions
   about life and death; it encompasses an exact, precisely
   mapped-out path. Through application of Scientology
   technology in an auditing session, a person is able to
   remove barriers and unwanted conditions and so become
   more himself. As a person progresses, he often reaches
   out to help others in the ways he has been helped.
   In developing Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard found the means
   to develop a technology to free the human spirit and
   thereby allow man to really know himself. He thoroughly
   tested all of his procedures and recorded for future use
   those that proved most workable in bringing about
   uniformly predictable results. These comprise standard
   Scientology technology.
   That which is real to the person himself is all one is
   asked to accept of Scientology. No beliefs are forced
   upon him. By training and processing, he finds out for
   himself the answers he is looking for in life.
   2.2 What does Scientology accomplish?
   Since Scientology is an 'applied religious philosophy',
   the stress is on application and workability. It
   addresses the individual and brings about self-improve
   ment by increasing a person's awareness and ability to
   handle life. It differs from other religious philosophies
   in that it supplies the means through which a person can
   increase his ability to effectively handle the problems
   and situations he and others face in life.
   2.3 What claims are made for Scientology?
   Scientology can increase a person's awareness and its
   application can help one to achieve greater happiness,
   self-confidence and ability.
   Man has often been attracted to philosophies that sound
   plausible but which have no technology that can be
   applied to bring about desirable changes in one's life.
   Scientology and Dianetics, on the other hand, supply the
   tools with which an individual can improve his own life
   and the lives of those around him.
   Scientology philosophy is based on the premise that man
   is basically good and that man can improve conditions in
   his life. However, Scientology cannot promise to do
   anything by itself. Only the individual can bring about
   his own improvement by applying Scientology tenets to
   himself, his life and others in his environment.
   2.4 How do people get into Scientology?
   Usually by word of mouth, often by reading a book or
   seeing promotional materials or taking a personality test
   at a church of Scientology. Sometimes by meeting a
   Scientologist and seeing that he has "something" -- a
   positive attitude toward life, certainty, self-confidence
   and happiness -- which they too would like.
   Fundamentally, people get into Scientology because they
   want to improve something in their lives or because they
   wish to help others improve themselves and thus make a
   better civilization.
   3. SCIENTOLOGY AND OTHER PRACTICES
   3.1 Is Scientology like hypnotism, meditation, psychotherapy or
   other mental therapies?
   There is no resemblance. In fact, it was as a result of
   L. Ron Hubbard's investigation of hypnotism and many
   other mental practices that he saw the need for practical
   answers to man's problems. In his book, _Dianetics: The
   Modern Science of Mental Health_, he wrote that he had
   found hypnotism and psychotherapy to be dangerous and
   impractical. Nearly all other methods of alleged menta]
   science are based on principles that are quite the
   opposite of those used in Scientology. They treat man as
   a "thing" to be conditioned, not as a spiritual being who
   can find answers to life's problems and who can improve
   enormously.
   3.2 Is Scientology a secret society?
   Not at all. Scientology churches are open -- you can go
   in at any time. Scientology literature is freely
   available to anyone. There is no demand for the
   individual to withdraw from society; on the contrary,
   Scientologists become *more* involved in life around
   them, as they want to take responsibility for improving
   conditions.
   3.3 In what way does Scientology differ from other religions
   and religious philosophies?
   Nearly all religious philosophies share a belief in
   helping man live a better life. In Scientology, this
   concept is expressed as one of the aims of the Church,
   which is to achieve a world without insanity, war and
   crime. While Scientology religious philosophy has much in
   common with other religions in this regard and in terms
   of its basic religious concepts and its outreach into the
   community with social reform programs, the most valuable
   asset that Scientology has to offer is a wealth of
   technology which brings about greater spiritual
   awareness.
   In Scientology there is no attempt to change a person's
   beliefs or to persuade him away from any religion to
   which he already belongs. Scientology helps people to
   achieve their goals: (1) through reading the materials
   contained in the books and publications; (2) through the
   unique counseling technology called auditing; (3) through
   training courses which utilize L. Ron Hubbard's
   discoveries in the field of education. Scientology makes
   it possible for *any* religion to attain its goals and is
   therefore a religion of religions.
   3.4 Does Scientology interfere with other religions?
   Scientology is all-denominational in that it opens its
   membership to people of all faiths. Part of the Church's
   Creed states that "all men have inalienable rights to
   their own religious practices and their performance."
   Membership in Scientology does not mean that there is any
   necessity to leave your current church, synagogue, temple
   or mosque.
   3.5 What does Scientology think of other religions?
   Scientology respects all religions. Scientology does not
   conflict with other religions or other religious
   practices. Quite often Scientology church members
   rekindle a greater interest than ever in the subject of
   religions -- including the one of their birth.
   3.6 What does Scientology have to say about Christianity?
   Scientologists hold the Bible as a holy work and have no
   argument with the Christian belief that Jesus Christ was
   the Savior of Mankind and the Son of God. We share
   Christ's goals for man's achievement of wisdom, good
   health and immortality. Christianity is among the faiths
   studied by Scientology ministerial students. There are
   probably many types of redemption. That of Christ was to
   heaven.
   4. SCIENTOLOGY BELIEFS
   4.1 Is man a spirit?
   Yes. Here's a short exercise you can do to find out for
   yourself.
   Close your eyes and get a picture of a cat.
   Done?
   That which is looking at that cat is you, a spirit.
   4.2 How does one know man is a spirit?
   It is a matter that each individual must examine for
   himself. Scientologists believe man is more than a mind
   and body and that it is he, himself, the spirit, who can
   control his mind and body.
   Do you think your body would *do* anything by itself if
   it were not guided by you, the being?
   4.3 What is the Scientology concept of God?
   The Church has no dogma concerning God, and each person's
   concept is probably different. As a person becomes more
   aware of himself, others, the environment and God, each
   person attains his own certainty as to who God is and
   exactly what God means to him. The author of the universe
   exists. How God is symbolized or manifested is up to each
   individual to find for himself.
   In his book _Science of Survival_, L. Ron Hubbard writes:
   "No culture in the history of the world, save the
   thoroughly depraved and expiring ones, has failed to
   affirm the existence of a Supreme Being. It is an
   empirical observation that men without a strong and
   lasting faith in a Supreme Being are less capable, less
   ethical and less valuable to themselves and society. . .
   A man without an abiding faith is, by observation
   alone, more of a thing than a man."
   4.4 Can't God be the only one to help man?
   Scientologists take the maxim quite to heart that God
   helps those who help themselves. They believe that each
   person has the answers to the mysteries of life; all he
   requires is awareness of these answers, and this is what
   Scientology helps a person achieve. Man is accustomed to
   asking for pat answers. Scientology requires that the
   person think for himself and thus help himself become
   more intelligent, happy and healthy.
   4.5 Does Scientology believe in brotherly love?
   Yes, and perhaps goes a step further. L. Ron Hubbard
   wrote that "To love is the road to strength. To love in
   spite of all is the secret of greatness. And may very
   well be the greatest secret in this universe."
   4.6 Why do Scientologists want to help people?
   For several reasons. First, because Scientologists
   themselves have been helped enormously -- and they want
   others to share the same successes. Second,
   Scientologists understand that life is not lived alone.
   An individual has more than just one dynamic (the urge to
   survive as self). He wants to help his family, his
   groups, mankind itself and living things survive better.
   4.7 Does Scientology recognize good and evil?
   Yes, in Scientology, a very clear distinction is made
   between good and evil. Those actions which enhance
   survival on the majority of the eight aspects or dynamics
   of life are good, and those which destroy or deny these
   aspects of life are evil. Decisions are then based on
   enhancing the majority of these dynamics of life.
   'Good' may be defined as constructive. 'Evil' may be
   defined as destructive.
   4.8 Does Scientology believe man is sinful?
   It is a basic tenet of Scientology that man is basically
   good, but that he is aberrated (capable of erring or
   departing from rational thought or behavior) and
   therefore commits harmful acts or sins, thus reducing his
   awareness and potential power.
   Through Scientology he can confront his actions, erase
   the ignorance and aberration which surrounds them and
   know and experience truth again.
   All religions seek truth. Freedom of the spirit is only
   to be found on the road to truth.
   Sin is composed, according to Scientology, of lies and
   hidden actions and is therefore untruth.
   4.9 Will Scientology put one in control of his mind?
   Yes. As you are a spiritual being, quite separate from
   your mind and your body, Scientology will help *you*
   achieve a far better command over your mind, just as it
   helps you to intelligently control all aspects of your
   life.
   4.10 Is Scientology about the mind?
   No. Scientology is about the individual himself as
   separate and distinct from the mind. Dianetics concerns
   the mind and contains the most advanced technology of the
