I feel like I really need to reiterate that the reason scientology is even a religion in the first place is because "dianetics", Hubbard's first insane money-making endeavor, started as an experimental "mental health" treatment that got shut down almost immediately because of how ineffective and potentially dangerous it was (and embezzlement if I'm remembering correctly.) Because the mental health field, for all its flaws, is regulated. But if you call your destructive shit a religion you can do whatever you want to your members and have it protected under the first amendment! Isn't it lovely?
I keep having to tear down extremely predatory/misleading Scien.tology flyers in my school's art building. This is the third fucking time I've ripped the fuckers up and I'm getting Real Fucking Tired of it.

We're (not) All Alright
I am a fan of That 70’s Show. As an older Millennial, that sh*t is basically our Happy Days. To be honest, I was far more partial to the short lived That 80’s Show but, you know, whatever. I loved the kids from Point Place and fervently watched the show up until Eric bailed. After that, it never felt the same. I loved that 70s show and the Netflix spin-off, That 90’s Show is, so far, just a great. All of that is absolutely tainted by this whole Danny Masterson situation. Well, for me, it was tainted long ago (Wilmer Valderrama is a straight up pedophile) but it’s nuts to think that set was so full of sordid debauchery. I mean, it really isn’t when you actually think about it. The fact that Scientology had it’s claws so deep into production, that type of hedonistic predation was a forgone conclusion. Scientology is a cult which monetizes abuse under the guise of celebrity and wellness. Two of the principal cast members were full blown cultists, one was cult-adjacent because of the easy-pickings hanging around the Celebrity Center, one was a whole ass child among indoctrinated adults, and another was this weirdly creepy former model. Literally the only one who was not a Scientologist or Scientology-adjacent, was Topher Grace. That's an insane thing which shouldn't have happened.
Like, this whole situation is hitting cats with collateral damage. Everyone who gave the Judge a character witness statement in confidence, got mad burned by a leak. I don't know how, but all of those things were made public and, let me tell, you, Ashton Kutcher looks like a hypocritical dick/ Mans founded Thorn, an organization which specializes in rescuing people from human trafficking, and he's on record of writing a glowing review for a guy that was convicted of two rapes. Convicted. A jury heard the evidence and thought there was more than enough to say, publicly, legally, that Danny Masterson is a whole ass rapist. The fact that Kutcher, a staunch advocate for victims, would write what can only be described as a heartfelt message to the judge, gushing about the “Danny he knows”, is wildly disgusting. So much so, he had to step down from his position as Chairman of Thorn because, you know, the rape defense. More than that, this “error in judgment” has left Kutcher exposed for his own bullsh*t. Lots of clips have resurfaced of hi just being creepy and gross about then underage Hilary Duff, which might not be anything because it was the early Aughts and everyone was so edgy, but then the murder thing came back up. That was a lot. Hell, even Jane Doe One took shots a Mila, quietly insinuating that she, herself, might have been a victim of Masterson. She alluded to knowing exactly what happened in that hotel room in Canada way back when. Dunno what that means but it can't be great. And the sh*t didn't stop tumbling down hill there, either.
Bijou Philips filed for divorce from Danny Masterson on my birthday. That sh*t is hilarious because both of them are Scientologists. Scientology is just weaved throughout this entire sordid affair. I wonder why? Anyway, you have to get permission to divorce when you're about that Zenu life. For her to file so fast means that either she got permission some time beforehand, or she straight up didn't and just pulled the trigger herself. The former means that the higher-ups legit knew there was enough evidence to convict Danny-boy and they hedged their bets to keep Philips happy/quiet/ under their control. The latter means she is running as fast away from Scientology, as Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman, only her arranged husband isn't Scientology Jesus, but just a regular ass rapist. Either way, I suspect this entire "marriage" was a cover to make Masterson look like a a doting father and good husband. Why? Because of the rapes. The two of them got married a little over a decade ago. That's about when rumors of Masterson's brutality stayed making the rounds. Weird timing, that. Very Dianetics of them.

Also my goodness me, double fistbump for those out there also who for whatever length of time, actually welcomed the idea as some manner of 'explanation' that wasn't 'you're lazy and weak and are just seeking attention and you cry too much/are too emotional and you need to fix yourself already'.
I absolutely started for a bit to buy into it- I would've been maybe 14-15 at the time, and I was super open to a lot of pseudoscience and so on myself. I didn't think I was a messianic figure or anything but I was just- relieved there was an explanation for why everything hurt me all the time and why I was so miserable. I was grateful that maybe it helped other people because it made me feel like I had a more easily achieved purpose than even all the hopes that my 'gifted' ass would do amazing things when I grew up because at the time I was more than half convinced I wasn't going to live to grow up. I didn't BELIEVE I was going to actually have a future with any accomplishment.
But then maybe having first gone through an ultra-Catholic babygirl phase of believing that I was suffering in order to be a good person etc set me up for the Indigo Child BS- I'd also only JUST cut all my ties (well all but aesthetic) with the Catholic church after that fucking principal at St Peter's told me I was using black magic to force the other little angel students to bully me.
Heh. My mom may have fallen at least partially down the whole Indigo Children type woo pit, but at least when I asked her for a copy of Dianetics because the commercials on TV had me thinking that that book would understand me and help me fix myself she explained to me that Scientology was a shitty cult preying on people who were in bad places in their lives. So. Um. Maybe could've been worse.
A little relieved at how low the percentage is of other people saying they've been called Indigo Children is here on the queer neurodivergent webbed site.
Still, oof. Fistbump of solidarity sent out to all who picked option 3 on the poll.

TIL about a neo-nazi Satanist group called O9A, and about how much the fash have infiltrated other occult organizations and alternative religions, from Wicca, and Thelema to even Discordian Facebook groups, I see you call them out all the time, but what’s with all the reactionaries being into the occult?
Yeah, Order of Nine Angles/ONA/O9A is exactly what you’ve said, and their theology/magick is absolute horseshit. I mean, a bunch of fascist ass nerds aren’t expected by serious practitioners to be anything but dog-balls dumb, but these folks just jumped the “satanic” shark so hard it is embarrassing.
They front like they’re interested in militant “Traditional” and Primitivist Satanism, but in reality, it is a recruitment tool for fascists that couldn’t recognize the Satanic Current if it slapped them in their stupid neo-Nazi faces. They cobble together a ton of traditions David Myatt doesn’t understand, many of which are also stolen from races these morons consider “inferior” or “parasitic” to make an incoherent theology that is meant to posture them into looking like hard asses, despite most of these tiny, sad, British boys getting beat down every time they step to antifascists. Iron Gates is basically the Dianetics of their racist brand of Satanism, although its content is closer to Battlefield Earth levels of amateur writing and over simplistic plots.
So, at the end I’ll include some links to articles about these absolute clowns, but rest assured, Thelema will not stand for infiltration by these people, OTO/AA be damned, these people are not my Siblings.This is a piece of Verse 42, Chapter 3 from Liber AL vel Legis:
“Refuse none, but thou shalt know & destroy the traitors. I am Ra-Hoor-Khuit; and I am powerful to protect my servant. Success is thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not over much! Them that seek to entrap thee, to overthrow thee, them attack without pity or quarter; & destroy them utterly. Swift as a trodden serpent turn and strike! Be thou yet deadlier than he! Drag down their souls to awful torment: laugh at their fear: spit upon them!“
And infiltrating in order to change the agenda obviously counts.
Also, I mean look at Liber OZ, look at “Every man and every woman is a Star!” or “Love is the Law” these aren’t fascist slogans, we tolerate all, except intolerance. And for the Orthodox Crowleyanists, CROWLEY HIMSELF (despite his obvious and conflicting hypocrisies) said, “We are infinitely tolerant, save intolerance.” and a personal favorite, “Intolerance is evidence of impotence.” So, no, fascists should be met with force if they attempt to enter our ranks, whatever they dress themselves up and posture as.

“Christmas Must Be Tonight” -- THE BAND
Christmas songs that function effectively the other eleven months of the year are rare, but this is one of the few.
Explicitly religious lyrics outside of Southern Gospel tunes usually turn me off, but Rick Danko could probably sing all of Dianetics and make it sound sweet and profound. Meanwhile, the recording’s adorably ramshackle -- the bass thumps more like a drum and is mixed so high it almost feels like a mistake, the acoustic guitars sound like they went with whatever got strummed on the very first take, and the organ, though lovely, feels improvised on the spot.
But it all hangs together magically, as though the little baby they’re singing about really does have superpowers.

Shock Velocity
I. ANESTHETIC IDEOLOGY
Because in certain pockets of the world we’ve become divorced from the idea that achievement is heavily impacted by factors outside our control, the modern secular analogy to religion is the industry that’s been created from Maslow’s idea of self-actualization as a supreme expression of human life. The anesthetization of inner turmoil has been married to outward success–not only will you feel better, but your performance will also be optimized. You have the power to live a rational life in service of others.
Much of it seems like a rehashing of the 60s’ human potential movement as a counter-cultural rebellion against mainstream psychology and organized religion. It’s not so much a religion as much as it is a psychological philosophy and framework that focuses on a particular set of values, but it’s meant to be followed obsessively and provide meaning in the same vein.
Some basic tenets: you should take responsibility for everything that happens to you. Deal with whatever crisis comes up and move on from it as cleanly as possible. You aren’t like those postmodern softies who need to obsessively control their outer environment and suppress free speech. Everything is based on merit. You square fully with the harshness of the world and you are going to triumph by making a lot of money (while working on something appropriately meaningful that addresses the human condition).
There are remarkable similarities between the principles currently in vogue and things taught by human potential-focused movements like est, Landmark Forum, neuro-linguistic programming, Tony Robbins seminars, Impact Training, Lifespring, Complete Centering, Scientology, etc. A lot of the parallels revolve around personal responsibility as freedom:
Jordan Peterson: “Every experience that you have had contains information. If you have fully processed the information in that experience, (1) its recollection will no longer produce negative emotion and (2) you have learned everything you need to know from it.”
Landmark: there’s a concept in the Landmark Forum called getting complete. To get complete means that you need to address what is “incomplete” with the other person, which is a fancy way of saying getting emotional closure. To complete, you take responsibility for what is incomplete and relinquish reside emotions, resentment, etc. and extending forgiveness the other person. If you do that, you are completely being responsible for your own life.
Scientology: to become clear is one of the major states practitioners strive to reach on their way up the Bridge to Total Freedom. The state of Clear is reached when a person becomes free of unwanted emotions or painful traumas not readily available to the conscious mind. By applying Dianetics, every single person can reach the state of Clear.
Stoicism: “When you are offended at any man’s fault, immediately turn to yourself and reflect in what matter you yourself have erred.”
Since we can no longer trust in a higher power to guide our lives and imbue it with meaning, we’ve turned to believing that the only way to control the external world is through mastery of the internal world. There’s a lashing out against the postmodernist renunciation of structure and meaning, a rampant nostalgia for the idea of meritocracy, excellence, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. The anecdote to emotional pain is inner calm and material success. It’s discipline, it’s not worrying about the things you have no control over, it’s letting go of the things that move you if they’re destructive to your life.
Believing that you are in control of all of your reactions and that controlling your reactions can radically affect the outer world is a good psychological trick on several levels: 1. It removes anguish over the “other” because everything is about you and your actions 2. It legitimately can catalyze action in people who might otherwise be paralyzed by a lack of meaning 3. It puts a focus on performance and hierarchy as a way to easily gauge success.
People are looking for an alternative to the confusion of being alive and not knowing why and what to do about it. Successfully selling a life philosophy gives you just about more influence and capital than anything else. But successful adoption of a life philosophy has little bearing on whether it’s true or not. From Simone de Beauvoir:
The serious man gets rid of his freedom by claiming to subordinate it to values which would be unconditioned. He imagines that the accession to these values likewise permanently confers value upon himself. Shielded with “rights,” he fulfills himself as a being who is escaping from the stress of existence. . . . [The serious man] chooses to live in an infantile world, but to the child the values are really given. The serious man must mask the movement by which he gives them to himself, like the mythomaniac who while reading a love-letter pretends to forget that she has sent it to herself.
We’re trying to be serious men. So much remains thematically the same between different belief systems: the hope of eternal life, a belief in (AGI-assisted) miracles, a sense of purpose and value. The problem is often not in the particularities what we believe, but how blindly we believe it: when we start thinking about a framework not as guidance for how to look for answers but rather what to answer, it devolves to ideology. Even ideologies that claim to promote curiosity and an environment for learning can end up enabling what James Carse calls “willful ignorance”: an intentional avoidance of knowledge and ways of thinking that contradict your religion. Believers like authority. Even people on the margins of modern political thought are drawn to ideological purity.
The problem with every ideology is that it’s ultimately reductionist: it reduces the world to one thing, and then explains the world in terms of just that one thing. It’s extremely useful because the world becomes simplified and you have something to tie yourself to emotionally, in this case internal and external performance. From the inside, a closed and consistent framework of truth looks more or less like joy.
II. HYPEROBJECTS
In Timothy Morton’s Hyperobjects, he introduces the concept of objects that are so massively distributed in time and space as to transcend spatiotemporal specificity. The examples he gives are as global warming, styrofoam, and radioactive plutonium. I think the concept can also apply to technology that is disruptive on such a large scale as to fundamentally alter our experience of living.
Growing up, my political beliefs were more or less shaped by neoliberalism and third wave feminism. In recent years those frameworks seemed in many ways inadequate to diagnose and deal with what is happening around us: human beings have more or less become neurolivestock for corporations like Google, Facebook, etc--your personal information is taken from you, and you are rewarded with short-term conveniences like targeted ads but your long-term prospects are gradually reduced because you have less privacy, less freedom. We live in an operating system set up by “the accelerating triad of war, capitalism and emergent AI,” distracted by “libidinal- and reality-engineering, advertising, branding, media, the happiness industry.”
In the 1970 Albert Toffler wrote Future Shock. He defines the term as the social paralysis induced by rapid technological change. According to Charles Stross, his “working hypothesis to explain the 21st century is that the Tofflers underestimated how pervasive future shock would be. I think somewhere in the range from 15-30% of our fellow hairless primates are currently in the grip of future shock, to some degree. Symptoms include despair, anxiety, depression, disorientation, paranoia, and a desperate search for certainty in lives that are experiencing unpleasant and uninvited change. It's no surprise that anyone who can offer dogmatic absolute answers is popular, or that the paranoid style is again ascendant in American politics, or that religious certainty is more attractive to many than the nuanced complexities of scientific debate.”
I’ve been thinking lately about accelerationism, which is influenced by Deleuze and Guattari’s Anti-Oedipus and Lyotard’s Libidinal Economy, and in its modern incarnation came from texts that Nick Land began producing in the 1980s when he was involved with Cybernetic Culture Research Unit. The CCRU argued that the institutions like government, academia and the established sciences more or less slow progress down, and to break out we need to encourage “an accelerated culture” where new ideas could flourish. In a lot of ways, the accelerationism of that period (before Land had an amphetamine-induced breakdown and started spouting alt-right ideas) connects with a belief in Silicon Valley that markets need to be fast-moving and tech must be disruptive. Accelerationism “goes against conservatism, traditional socialism, social democracy, environmentalism, protectionism, populism, nationalism, localism and all the other ideologies that have sought to moderate or reverse the already hugely disruptive, seemingly runaway pace of change in the modern world.” I don’t necessarily espouse accelerationism as desirable, but it seems in many ways a prescient diagnosis of where we’re heading.
We are moving towards a post-industrial society: even skilled workers will lose value with the advent of robots that are sophisticated enough to provide medical procedures, sophisticated enough to program. There are technologies that are coming that will drastically alter what it means to be human: gene editing, brain computer interfaces, AGI. I don’t think anyone disputes that, but we’re all collectively unprepared to deal with it politically and philosophically. We are moving towards a world dominated by high-tech capitalism, post-liberal humanism. For better or worse, it is moving towards us.
We need cliches to help us to adjust to a world transformed by future shock. I think individualism--being tough, being rational, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps--seems to people like a way to regain control over the present moment, which is defined by radical change and a loss of control over information. But to me it kind of feels like saying that being a good surfer is going to help you in a tsunami. A sense of agency might be pleasant in an individual life, but we live among networks that require a large number of people who participate in them to generate value but have the effect of centralizing wealth and power. We live on a dying planet, in a society that’s been transformed--and will be transformed--by hyperobjects that are difficult to predict and difficult to control.
Being on the cusp of a seminal moment is exciting in a lot of ways. Questions that seem interesting to me:
1. How do you expect a society to orient itself politically and philosophically when there is not anymore a stable baseline for what to expect in our lifetimes economically, technologically and otherwise?
2. It’s good and comforting to believe that we function autonomously and take responsibility for ourselves, but how do we reconcile that with knowing (I’m cribbing Foucault) that the individual is the product of power and that language, in the form that we interface with it in the media, is not made to believe but to be obeyed? I.e. as Chomsky says, “mass media amuses, entertains, and informs, and inculcates individuals with the values, beliefs, and codes of behavior that will integrate them into the institutional structures of the larger society.” Is it possible to avoid conflating the comfort of feeling like rational actors with actually pursuing independent thought? Which leads naturally into
3. Is there any way to bridge that gap between what we know to be true and our relative inability to generalize it? As Jared Leoner describes, the hacker attitude is often approximately this: “Open up your life to the ’net, all you ordinary people. The world is about to become transparent and that transparency will be the beginning of a golden age. Sharing is good. However, encrypt your life like crazy. Use VPN, etc. Only the smartest people can make no sound in the digital forest.” What are the most effective ways to go from “I believe something to be true (i.e. privacy matters) and will live my life in accordance with it” to “I will also convince other people that this belief is true?” If you believe, which I somewhat do, that people are motivated mostly what what they find emotionally appealing and choose values using that as the primary criterion, the answer might very literally be to design and sell an ideology whose tenets consist of the things that you believe to be true. Which is, of course, a separate thing from successfully convincing people that they should care about what is actually true, separate from ideology.
III.
“The individual is no longer rooted in society as a tree in a forest, rather he is comparable to the passenger in a rapidly moving vehicle whose name may be Titanic, but also Leviathan. As long as the weather holds and the outlook is pleasant, he will scarcely notice the curtailment of his freedom. He may even be filled with optimism and with the consciousness of power produced by the sense of speed. But all this changes when the fiery volcanic islands and icebergs emerge on the horizon. Then not only will technology claim a right to dominate fields other than the procurement of comfort, but at the same time the lack of freedom will become apparent–be it in the victory of elemental forces or in the fact that individuals who have remained strong acquire the means to exercise absolute power.”
- Ernest Junger, Forest Passage

the CCHR posts all this shit about how psychology RUINS PEOPLES LIVES and if you look deeper into it, their cure all for depression/mental illness/ whatever is scientology. its a scam to make you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on LRH’s dianetics books/Very expensive auditing sessions.
Ironic that they villify the psych profession when scientology very commonly and regularly tortures and forces members of their Sea Org into indentured servitude.

Stupid Things Scientologists Say - Shorter, less Gay-Obsessed Version
What did she say? Are they talking gibberish? Do they really believe this? Of course they don't. But they are making money off people who did believe it. It's a pyramid scheme and the people at the top of the pyramid are willing to say the stupidest things to get you to sign up under them. Then they get a cut of whatever you spend.
Debbie Cook Baumgarten, the blonde woman in charge, ended up blowing the cult, got held captive, and now is rebelling against cult leadership. Want to tell Debbie she's an idiot? Check out her website here: http://www.debbiecookbaumgarten.com/

Give Me a Reason (3/9)
<Part 1> <Part 2>
March 2013
Celestino insisted on carrying the majority of Yuuri and Phichit’s luggage up the stairs to their apartment. “You’ve earned it, boys,” he told them. “I’m so proud of you both.”
Yuuri frowned. He didn’t want to directly contradict his coach, and it was always awkward feeling bad about his own performance when Phichit hadn’t even made it past the short program, but fifteenth place was not what he’d worked so hard for all season.
Celestino was having none of it. “Did you skate your best?” he demanded. Yuuri muttered a grudging affirmative.
“What was that, Yuuri? I didn’t quite catch what you said.” Yuuri had hoped that Phichit would be fully engrossed with his hamsters by now, having made a beeline for their habitat the instant the door was unlocked. Apparently the universe wasn’t about to let him get that lucky.
He sighed heavily. “Yeah. I skated my best.” Maybe if he played along, they’d drop the subject. There was nothing else to do if they were determined to gang up on him, anyway.
“And did you improve on last year’s performance?”
“Yes.” Last year it had been Yuuri who had missed being in the top twenty-five. Phichit hadn’t even qualified for Worlds in 2012, ending his own season after a disappointing 4CC.
Celestino beamed as though that made it all better. “And that is why I am proud of you, and why you should be proud of yourself. Keep training as hard as you have been, and next season you’ll be in the top ten for sure.”
“And in the meantime,” Phichit added, “It’s time to start the post-season off right with the ritual Eating of the Carbs. I’m thinking Pizza Papalis?”
Yuuri shot him a halfhearted glare. “Your Nationals are still coming up,” he pointed out, but there was little actual heat in his voice. It wasn’t Phichit’s fault that his ‘freshman fifteen’ had been the opposite of most students’, resulting in a good third of his class plying their ‘precious hamster son’ with varying foodstuffs to ‘keep his strength up’.
“I’ll be good after tonight!”
“You could at least blush when you lie through your teeth like that.” Yuuri rolled his eyes. “Fine. Spinach and mushroom, extra garlic, you’re paying, and you’re handling all of the human interaction.”
Celestino laughed. “I am not hearing any of this. Celebrate well, boys. Ciao ciao!” He let himself out amid Phichit’s whoop of joy and subsequent call to the pizza place.
Yuuri curled up on the couch and opened his laptop. For once he wasn’t jetlagged after a competition, this year’s championship having been held a bare two hours’ drive away, in Ontario. He was still tired – a week’s worth of too little sleep while dealing with far too many strangers was stressful enough even without the pressure of competition – but he wasn’t sleepy. It was an odd, but not unwelcome, feeling.

“I’m a what?” Phichit shrieked from directly behind Yuuri, who winced at the sound.
“Quit reading over my shoulder; that’s why I made you get your own account. Oh, there’s a password to get in now. Nuclear option, one word, all lower case.”
“Thailand’s Prince, the Jewel of Bangkok, an intern? Yuuri, how could you?” He flopped dramatically over the back of the couch.
“Shut up, I panicked.”
lukewarm_mess: anyway why the lockdown?
lukewarm_mess: king you said something about trolls?
*Peaches_and_Dream has joined #therapycouchfort
KingElsa: I wasn’t here either, actually, but that’s what I heard. Hi Mess’ roommate.
suicideflirtsback: we were invaded by scientologists
Peaches_and_Dream: Hello mess’ self-friendzoning internet boyfriend
mercyslovechild: woa sickburn.gif
StandardDeviation: or at least people claiming to be scientologists
lukewarm_mess: PEACH
KingElsa: GASP
StandardDeviation: like two dozen of them flooding the channel at once
Peaches_and_Dream: I notice you’re not denying it ☆⌒ ヽ (*' 、 ^*)chu
“Shut it, Intern Boy.”
StandardDeviation: all telling us to stop taking our brainwashing pills and read dianetics
suicideflirtsback: p sure they were on vpns because even with the mods ip banning them they just kept coming back
“Still waiting for a denial, Yuu-chan! Other than the one you’re in, I mean.”
Peaches_and_Dream: Sounds more like bored channers to me
mercyslovechild: whatevs it was annoying
suicideflirtsback: you mean EPIC
suicideflirtsback: socks just about developed superpowers out of sheer rage
StandardDeviation: after two days the mods decided to make the channel private, and we’ve been lockedin our fallout shelter eating k-rations ever since
KingElsa: Wow, it seems it was an exciting week!
StevenMultiverse: It’s not a perfect solution because it means new people who might actually want to join the chat can’t, but there’s not much else we can do at the moment.
mercyslovechild: where where you king?
StevenMultiverse: In a month or two we’ll try and reopen the channel. Hopefully they’ll have gone away by then.
lukewarm_mess: works for me, glad you found a solution
KingElsa: I went to a family reunion.
suicideflirtsback: good times?
KingElsa: I suppose. It was… typical.
lukewarm_mess: how so
KingElsa: I don’t know. The same faces, the same stories, never any surprises. Lousy food at the big dinner party.
mercyslovechild: potluck >:P
KingElsa: Catered. But still not good.
suicideflirtsback: did you have to be nice to Racist Uncle Tony?
KingElsa: (° ロ °) ! How did you know?! I mean, he was neither a Tony nor my uncle, but….
suicideflirtsback: EVERYONE has a Racist Uncle Tony
*Deltatangofoxtrot has joined #therapycouchfort
KingElsa: “I’m just concerned about the way your *lifestyle*” – he actually made air quotes with his fingers! – “reflects on us…”
Peaches_and_Dream: Ugh, sorry King.

StandardDeviation: Besides, that’s not english, it’s internet
StandardDeviation: *is helping*
KingElsa: Don’t help. >.>
Headlights flashed through the window as a car pulled into the parking lot. Yuuri glanced outside and saw the glowing pizza sign on the roof. His shoulders hunched involuntarily.
“Go hide,” Phichit told him. “I’ll bribe them to go away, that usually works.”
Yuuri smiled sheepishly before heading for their shared bedroom. “Sorry,” he called through the closing door. “It’s just—”
“—No more strangers for a while. I know. I’ll say our goodbyes in chat, too. It’s BFF bonding time.”

"COMFORTABLE BELIEFS RE: GOD, LIFE, THE FUTURE & PARALLEL TIME-LINES IN A MULTIVERSE!" a poem for March: "A. I. AWARENESS" month! a.k.a.: "I Think We'll Be Fine, As Long As The Alpine Ministerial Alliance Doesn't Change Its Name To: CONSTELLATIONS! Of Course, Even IF That Happens, We Will Probably Still Be OK, Whatever The Term 'OK' Means!" 03/10/2019 (Sunday)
"Aren't there any SPIRITUAL BASICS, basics? around here, around here any more?"
A worried bloke, like me, might ask - Anything? Basic? for,
To - believe-in, to not get too twisted and perplexed?
With all the witches - and The Force? Exorcisms? and THE HEX,
And "the evil eye?" and-Dianetics,* given an infinite, multiverse reality!?
Well! It's your life! (really!) If-somethin'-"sucks," set-it-on-your-"Pyre-of-Banality,"
And say: "Phooey! on this - or that - or t'other,
If I ain't comfo'able with it, I ain't gonna bother,
To do anything with it - except treat it as waste in the commode!
I PREFER: "THE TRUTH ACCORDING TO ME!!!" a beautiful, poetic ode:
Here goes: LOVE SOMETHING! Call it "God," "All," or "You,"
With your whole self IF that doesn't make me too blue,
AND! If you can't find that something - to-love-a-lot,
Don't worry about it! [YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT A ROBOT!?]
So, if you can-love-"God"-&-your- fellow-(wo)man-as-yourself!-Arguably-it's-all-YOU!
Surprise?! You're: quite-the Islamic! Catholic! AND Orthodox Jew!
AND! There are NOT advantages to any of this!
UNLESS YOU THINK THERE IS! Come-on, give-us-a-kiss!
And there's a pretty "telling" part, in the first part of Acts,**
As The Apostle Paul describes - his side of the facts:
"THERE'S AN UNKNOWN "GOD," IN WHOM WE LIVE AND MOVE,
AND, IF WE CAN BE A BIT "HUMBLE," WE MIGHT BETTER WELL GROOVE!"
Above all, ye Natives - Devotees - and-those-of-The-Tao,
Love-of-Yourself is A BIG OL' PLUS! 'specially NOW,
That most folks are looking for something wrong with,
WHATEVER YOU SAY! Especially-if-you-be-Lord-Sith!***
Even SITH,**** who looks satanic, dark - and pretty mean,
LOVES - his favorite, succulent Bertie Botts' jelly bean!*****
So, whatever you choose (or don't) it's OK; the basics for YOU are for your lovely day!
Come now: a smile? Wipe the tears away! Would a loving God have it any other way?
fin <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEJd2RyGm8Q
* - not to be confused with Diuretics, Dialectics or Scientology!
** - A book of The Bible, describing how The Christians (those of The Way) got started
*** - arguably, a Sith Lord in the Star Wars films; however, arguably not! He seems to die and come back [but don't we all?] and is red in the face, with a double-bladed light-saber! [That aught to qualify him to be a Sith Lord, shouldn't it!?]
**** - His/her name was actually Darth Maul!
***** - Don't quote me on this, BUT - I have it through pretty good sources that Darth Maul can rarely decide on cherry or cinnamon flavor as his favorite! Of course, they are both very red, and this accounts for The Sith Lord's complexion, I am told! Plus,
"Bertie Botts jelly beans - can be a two-edged sword!" The Mystic Poet.

Auditors Quotes
Official Website: Auditors Quotes
• A good Dianetic auditor can take a broken-down, sorrow-drenched lady of thirty-eight and knock out her past periods of physical and mental pain and have on his hands somebody who appears to be twenty-five-and a bright, cheerful twenty-five at that. – L. Ron Hubbard
jQuery(document).ready(function($) var data = action: 'polyxgo_products_search', type: 'Product', keywords: 'Auditor', orderby: 'rand', order: 'DESC', template: '1', limit: '68', columns: '4', viewall:'Shop All', ; jQuery.post(spyr_params.ajaxurl,data, function(response) var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(response); jQuery('#thelovesof_auditor').html(obj); jQuery('#thelovesof_auditor img.swiper-lazy:not(.swiper-lazy-loaded)' ).each(function () var img = jQuery(this); img.attr("src",img.data('src')); img.addClass( 'swiper-lazy-loaded' ); img.removeAttr('data-src'); ); ); ); • A good person is one who follows the Ten Commandments and the golden rule. There is plenty of precedent in history to guide us and we probably evolved to be sensitive to Bible-Golden Rule situations. But the dilemmas faced by a worker – a journalist, an architect, an auditor – or by a citizen (what position to take on stem cell research, whether to run for office, what is the proper balance between taxation and social nets) – are not questions that can be answered by traditional texts or precedents. – Howard Gardner • A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why. – Percy Bysshe Shelley • According to government auditors, the stimulus money is being held up because there aren’t enough government workers to oversee the spending. So follow me, in other words, government workers who aren’t there are needed to spend money we don’t have to create jobs that don’t exist. – Jay Leno • Governments lie; bankers lie; even auditors sometimes lie: gold tells the truth. – William Rees-Mogg • I admit that I myself am far from having a complete command of every topic I touch on, but my knowledge of my subject is always greater than the interest or the understanding of my auditors. You see, there is one very good thing about mankind; the mediocre masses make very few demands of the mediocrities of a higher order, submitting stupidly and cheerfully to their guidance – Alfred de Vigny • I think my mother was like a small company which, because things are not ship-shape, keeps two sets of books, one for the auditors and then there’s the other one. – Michael Lindsay-Hogg • I was talking about no nukes, the farm crisis. People said that wasn’t stuff that a state auditor was supposed to be talking about. Maybe they were right. – Paul Wellstone • Look, in particular, at the people who, like you, are making average incomes for doing average jobs- bank vice presidents, insurance salesmen, auditors, secretaries of defense- and you’ll realie they all dress the same way, essentially the way the mannequins in the Sears menswear department dress. Now look at the real successes, the people who make a lot more money than you- Elton John, Captain Kangaroo, anybody from Saudi Arabia, Big Bird, and so on. They all dress funny- and they all succeed. – Dave Barry • Mandatory auditor rotation is designed to address a potential conflict of interest between a public company and its auditor. Because an auditor is hired and paid by the public company it audits, the auditor’s desire to maintain a good relationship with its client could conflict with its duty to rigorously question the client’s financial statements. – Robert Pozen • Men of great conversational powers almost universally practise a sort of lively sophistry and exaggeration which deceives for the moment both themselves and their auditors. – Thomas B. Macaulay • Most of us are visual learners. Some of us are auditor learners – we learn by hearing. Many of us are kinesthetic learners. We learn by doing, touching, feeling. I have found … that we need an educational model that is current, that meets the need of our students. America must understand that she needs Muslims. – Andre Carson • Obviously the more transparency we have as auditors, the more we can get, but the main goal is to understand important characteristics about a black box algorithm without necessarily having to understand every single granular detail of the algorithm. – Cathy O’Neil • Of all the ills of man which can be successfully processed by Scientology, arthritis ranks near the top. In skilled hands, this ailment, though misunderstood and dreaded in the past, already has begun to become history. Twenty-five hours of Scientology by an auditor who fairly understands how to process arthritis can be said to produce an invariable alleviation of the condition. Some cases, even severe ones, have responded in as little as two hours of processing, according to reports from auditors in the field. – L. Ron Hubbard • People attack Scientology, I never forget it, always even the score. People attack auditors, or staff, or organisations, or me. I never forget until the slate is clear. – L. Ron Hubbard • Plato says that the punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is, to live under the government of worse men; and the like regret is suggested to all the auditors, as the penalty of abstaining to speak,–that they shall hear worse orators than themselves. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Suppose that throughout your childhood you were good with numbers. Other kids used to copy your homework. You figured store discounts faster than your parents. People came to you for help with such things. So you took accounting and eventually became a tax auditor for the IRS. What an embarrassing job, right? You feel you should be writing poetry or doing aviation mechanics or whatever. But then you realize that tax collecting can be a calling too. – James Hillman • The Auditor-General has been complaining year in and year out that the municipalities have not paid auditing fees. It is not because they are reluctant but they don’t have the money to pay the Auditor. So, you can’t say that you are throwing money at somebody who doesn’t have money. Lots of the things that the municipalities can’t do are because resources are not there. – Thabo Mbeki • The Auditors fluttered anxiously. And, as always happens in their species when something goes radically wrong and needs fixing instantly, they settled down to try to work how who was to blame. – Terry Pratchett • Theta clearing is about as practical and simple as repairing a shoe lace. It is nothing to do with hypnotism, voodooism, charalatanism, monkeyism or theosophy. Done, the thetan can do anything a stage magician can do in the way of moving objects around. But this isn’t attained by holding one’s breath or thinking right thoughts or voting Republican or any other superstitous or mystic practice. So for the reason I brought up, rule out, auditor, any mumbo jumbo or mysticism, spiritualism, or religion. – L. Ron Hubbard • Two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. The other third is covered with auditors from headquarters. – Norman Ralph Augustine • When orators and auditors have the same prejudices, those prejudices run a great risk of being made to stand for incontestable truths. – Philibert Joseph Roux • Wherefore in all great works are Clerks so much desired? Wherefore are Auditors so well-fed? What causeth Geometricians so highly to be enhaunsed? Why are Astronomers so greatly advanced? Because that by number such things they find, which else would farre excell mans minde. – Robert Recorde • Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves. – Aldous Huxley • You can get a much better fee – I tell you as auditors quite frankly – it’s much easier to get a great deal of money out of somebody who’s on a down spiral into becoming MEST than it is to get money out of somebody who is going on an up spiral toward becoming theta. – L. Ron Hubbard • You’re here so you’re a Scientologist. Now we’re going to make you into an expert auditor no matter what happens. We’d rather have you dead than incapable. – L. Ron Hubbard

Become Perfect and Successful With Re:Brain Magical Headset
What can turn a person with positive and negative traits into a perfect man? ACTUM Technology shares some great news for perfectionists and those who strive to become a better version of oneself every single day! It’s also fantastic news for those who seek internal harmony or even desperately takes drugs to cope with stress, because no organic approach is working any longer.
How you can develop additional abilities
Some people consider such things as existing outside of the body, realizing that you have lived in several past lives, reading an aura or even genius creativity as super powers, while some people still take such things as common sense.
Originally, one of the objectives of Re:brain was to achieve a happy and stress-free life, however, it became evident that the gadget is capable of more than just that.
Re:brain can develop new skills in a person, which can promote success in career and business. It can also help people surpass certain physical disorders and, eventually, reveal hidden abilities and creative potential.
The stories like something have downed on a person after a car accident or coma which caused an entire life turnover by 360 degrees is not so surprising any longer. There are documented facts and studies of people looking down at themselves while being in coma. So, it’s a proven ability – the question is only – how to reach those states?
Some people have reached states of absolute inner peace and understanding of true values in their meditations. As a result, people understood themselves a lot better. It may even look like a meeting with the real you, where you understand your real abilities, maybe even super powers like reading aura, self-healing or healing with hands, foreseeing future events or a sudden boost of creativity.
Scientology puts an objective to bring people to these highest states of consciousness and calls them state of Clear and operating Thetan. At the same time, Scientology admits that a person can become happy and live happily without it too. It’s always a personal choice – to open up to something new or not. Hence, Scientology is one of the ways, but not the only one.
What is also important to note, being officially a religion, Scientology says, you don’t have to sacrifice your individuality to reach the states of Clear and Operating Thetan.
You can find more about Sientology on its official website if you are interested about it. There, you will also find information of their key terms, like describing auditing, Dianetics, how they can help you reach your objectives along with other core beliefs and fundamentals of this religion.
How Re:brain can accelerate your progress
You’re probably wondering how all these supreme abilities are related to the Re:brain gadget? Re:brain is successfully used in Yoga and other spiritual practices, involving meditation along with development of additional skills.
Re:brain can be used for overcoming difficulties in sport, personal life, career and other types of challenges, the life has prepared for you.
If you are a doctor who needs to be calm and focused before the surgery, a businessman, who’s future life depends on the next presentation or a person who suffers from insomnia and needs to learn how to relax, you can use Re:brain to bring you together to the right emotional and cognitive state.
In other words, if you desire results and you don’t have time, Re:brain can accelerate your progress a lot. Therefore, it can be even called a magic tool, which uses the power of neuro-science instead of chemicals and fairies.
How Re:brain works
Re:brain is a unique neuro-headset, equipped with 8 EGG sensors, a Bluetooth transmitter and looks just like an elegant headphones. The gadget is capable of receiving, interpreting and responding to all brainwaves you produce. You can monitor your current emotional and cognitive state in the App and adjust it in real time. After you set the desired state of mind, Re:brain will produce the right brainwaves to reach your objective by stimulating your neurons.
Depending on the desired result, the headset will choose different waves:
– Alpha to stabilize your emotions, and improve perceiving new information;
– Betta to boost your energy and productivity along with the brain power;
– Gamma to improve your memory and focus;
– Delta to stimulate deeper sleep, strengthen immunity system, evoke self-healing and regeneration;
– Theta to increase creativity, inspiration and reach deeper meditation states.
Generally, Re:brain can deal with many common and even some uncommon human problems and teach people to cope with them on their own.
Each action brainwave can be used either separately or together depending on point A (where you are) and point B (where you want to be). Re:brain can find the shortest and the most effective way from point A to point B allowing you to save a lot of time.
Another beauty of this neuro-headset is that you can train yourself almost to perfection. The secret of this is the following. It has been proven that a regular practice can develop new useful habits, allowing you to change your state of mind to the desired even without wearing Re:brain – solely with the power of your intention. Physiologically, your inner memory will reproduce the right brainwaves after your conscious decision to make changes in what you feel.
Key advantages of Re:brain in comparison to other devices and methods:
* Two-way communication with your brain;
* Total control over all frequencies that exist;
* Easy to use via a special Application;
* Saves a lot of time. You can perform self-training by wearing the Re:brain headset while running, cleaning, cooking, driving your car or doing some other routine things. Speaking in business language, this device can be your one-time investment into success.
* It’s not addictive. Unlike any addictive measures, such as tranquilizers, Re:brain is not. The best example of how it works is physical training in gym or a muscle memory. It’s not addictive in a negative way. On the contrary, it inspires you to become a better version of yourself. The same does Re:brain with your brain. It trains your mind to become stronger, more flexible, open, welcoming and so on.
* 100% safe. The early experiments along with an idea of such device started in 2008 in Silicon Valley, California. The first unit was produced in 2017 by ACTUM Technologies. You can be reassured that countless tests, experiments and success stories have already proven its safety and effectiveness.
Final words
It’s not a coincidence that many successful people consider quality of persistence as half or even the major part of success. Regardless of the way you choose to go, what development path, you can reach whatever you want over certain period of time.
Scientology is just one of the ways among the others which can give you a guide of how to find your true self and Re:brain is one of the methods to accelerate achieving your life goals.
Many so-called super powers or special abilities are real, but simply not accessible to most people because their subconsciousness is just partially open to the world, because they live in masks and don’t know their own abilities.

The Handmaid’s Dianetics
[An exhausted potluck table at the end of a night’s revelry and fundraising, draped in red cloth, sits in the center of the stage. A solemn VIOLIN strains out beneath.]
Caption: Previously on “The Handmaid’s Dianetics Episode 2: Scientolojesus”
[In the forefront, OFHUBBARD and SUPERVISOR re-enact the memory of her childhood. OFHUBBARD engages with her course room SUPERVISOR in scholarly discourse.]
OFHUBBARD Supervisor
SUPERVISOR Yes
OFHUBBARD The Glossary states that the definition of an Operating Thetan is a being who has attained total cause over matter, energy, space and time…does it not?
SUPERVISOR That is correct.
OFHUBBARD And…common knowledge also allows that all components of the entity to which we refer in the English language as pizza do indeed fall within the confines of matter, energy, space, and time…is it so?
SUPERVISOR Yes, Ofhubbard, it is so. What is your question?
OFHUBBARD My question, Supervisor, is that if an Operating Thetan is defined as a being who has attained total cause over matter, energy, space, and time…and it is given that the molecular components of pizza all lie within the confines of matter, energy, space and time—would it not then follow that an Operating Thetan is capable of causing pizza to appear out of thin air?
SUPERVISOR What does it say in the text?
OFHUBBARD The text does not explicitly state that a being who has attained the spiritual level of Operating Thetan can make pizza appear out of thin air…however…the text does not explicitly state that a being who has attained the spiritual level of Operating Thetan cannot make pizza appear out of thin air.
SUPERVISOR Ok. Good.
OFHUBBARD So—then—is it possible? That a being could simply make pizza out of thin air? If they were to become powerful enough?
SUPERVISOR Whatever it says in the text.
OFHUBBARD WOOOWWWWWW!
SUPERVISOR Pretty cool huh.
OFHUBBARD If everybody on the planet were to achieve the level of Operating Thetan, why then, we could never go hungry.
SUPERVISOR I guess
OFHUBBARD If even one person on the planet achieved the level of Operating Thetan, why then, they could sit making pizzas all day, or whatever they liked, really. with their mind. Why don’t they?
SUPERVISOR I don’t know.
OFHUBBARD I want pizza now!
SUPERVISOR Have you eaten today?
OFHUBBARD Oh, I skipped breakfast. I can eat during the break.
SUPERVISOR Ok. That’s fine for today. Remember to eat a full and balanced meal before you come to the course room next time. It’s very important.
OFHUBBARD Oh, all right.
SUPERVISOR Ok. Good.
