I just read Dan Koon’s article “Going Clear” on his blog at http://www.rediscoverscientology.com/blogs/joe-howard.html. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in going Clear or in the subject of going Clear.
One of the saddest things for me to behold in the world of Scientology is the lamenting that goes on about the state of Clear. There has been so much hogwash and voodoo entered into the Clear equation by Miscavige over the past couple decades the laments are far and wide.
Some people attempt to invalidate the idea of Clear being an attainable state. In my experience, status-0riented people seem the loudest in denouncing the idea. It seems as if the logic goes, if they can’t have it the hell with anybody else – less qualified in their minds – having it. If you attained it, there is no doubt about it. And those who have are likely to give a hand to those they care about so that they might have similar gains.
Clear just doesn’t happen. It takes work. The work is fun and every task produces its own benefits. But it is work nonetheless without which, no prize.
I think Dan’s article captures those factors about navigating to Clear. If you are interested in pursuing the state of Clear, check out Dan’t article. If you already have attained clear (whenever), Dan’s article can have a nice rehab effect.
Moving On Up a Little Higher 
Thanks Marty,
I had read Joe’s article some time ago. It was indeed inspiring.
In the CofM, I had two CCRD’s. Not Clear. I hated them both. They were not fun, in fact, the opposite.
Also, of the four Clears I was closed to for many years, ALL were later told they were not Clear after GAT. Two of them had attested at Flag 12 years earlier. One went crying out of ASHO LA after being told so. One other was later declared, and the other blew off the lines.
Needless to say, I had lost all faith in technical application inside the CofM at that point, and never returned. I hope to find my way in the independent field when the time is right. There are so many fine LRH trained auditors still available. That sounds like the way to go.
Centurion (plain clothes division)
Amen.
I cried when I read Dan’s journey.
My own has been much less satisfactory. That is gonna improve. I have wondered the effects of DM and his robominions on it, coining the current predicament as something like the unClear unCertainty Runaround.
I wanted to ask a more technical question re Clear outside the church:
Is the alternate route available?
Oh, Marty, Dan, This is simply wonderful! I
remember while I was at ‘S’ (Int) I had just been
C/Sed for the Clearing Course, when the ‘Sweat
Out’ (purif) pilot began. I went on that for months. I was close to completion when I was
called to ‘X'( an apartment complex in Hemet
where LRH lived and worked). Mike and Kima
Douglas had just blown. I took Mike’s place as
LEC at ‘X’. I completed the Purif and was attesting to completion with David Mayo when
there was another C/S by (guess who). I read
the definition and attested to Dianetic Clear
and I think my TA floated for days. Wow! God
Bless standard tech and LRH and Davis Mayo!
GREAT stuff. What a REHAB!!
Thanks Dan for being there and caring
Thanks Marty for all your supporting.
I agree Marty.
Dan’s article is pretty much spot on.
Like Ron says in Bk I to paraphrase, going Clear should be an adventure, though as a caveat regarding the “Church”. It shouldn’t be any more “adventurous” than it already is!
“But for David Miscavige, as The COB, to make a blanket announcement to CLO staff members that some of them aren’t Clear is like using a shotgun to remove a flea from your dog’s tail. It removes the flea but everything else, too. It shows a new level of frustration or desperation on his part, another example of his misadministration. Even if he were right, what’s the point of announcing it to one and all? Making oneself right? Being the guy who’s going to save your case? It’s kind of creepy, actually.”
It’s not only creepy it’s suppressive.
I read Dan’s article a while back and I read it again now. It was really great each time.
I co-audited hundreds of hours of Dianetics and all the grades in the 70’s. As Dan mentioned in his article — that’s when we didn’t even check for reads and we didn’t care…it’s true. The entire journey was awesome! I went Clear on Dianetics. What a ride — WOW!!
The tech standardly applied, as written by L. Ron Hubbard produces miracles!
Yes, what Dan’s written is incredible, enjoyable and extremely rehabilitating.
It is frightening what DM is doing to such a simple, uncomplicated thing. Obviously he is suppressing the State of Clear, along with the other points on the Bridge.
Demonstrably he is in fear of others achieving levels of the Bridge, becoming more able and well and thus thereby able to detect him and his ongoing scheme.
Textbook.
That was just GREAT to read. So is reading about the attainments. Rehabs the joy that this stuff is.
There is simply NO SANE REASON not to do standard tech and deliver!!
How ever cool is it that we have it!!!
P.S. Cringe, wince, outrage at the blatant crushing Eval (evaluation) and Inval (invalidation) that DM barks at SENTIENT, TRUSTING BEINGS.
Time to brush it off and stay on purpose. No more distractions or substitutes.
Thanks for this ★ post, Marty, Dan Koon and Joe Howard!
Fellow Traveller,
The route, the Bridge, through NED or the ‘alternate’ route is not only available, it’s being done.
I myself finally, after decades, polished up my own cycle and have finished up through III in the past year. I’ve no words to describe how utterly cool this is.
Make no mistake, DM’s broken, no, sabotaged line is so easily bypassed it’s a wonder he thinks he can still block the Bridge.
Yeeeehhaaaaa!
I told Sarge about this and we’re busily working on “building a better bridge”. I applaud all efforts in this direction. Just remember DMSMH.
That was a wonderful article. It bothers me as well that DM is against any more last lifers, cause there are a lot of Clears and OT’s that are coming back. They are going to be in for a shock – it’s not the church of the old days. I am lucky I attested back in 1989, after a SR C/S fixed it up. Nobody is going to mess with my Clear. :o)
“In the early 80s, when prices for services went up 10% each month, this further complicated the picture.
…
Power on up to OT III was pretty cheap in the mid-1970s and I paid for most of it with my staff pay.”
If someone did the Clearing Course in 1973 is it possible they may not have gone Clear?
Just know someone who did and was told they were not Clear and got case gain off of NED auditing. ( after doing OTVII for a couple of years)
I read the article but due to the date it seemed possible. Just curious.
Anonymous,
What does the date have to do with it?
Just curious.
Yes, the dream that never materialized for me despite fighting tooth and nail for it for the past 20+ years. I remember when I first duplicated what it meant to be Clear. I wanted it more than I wanted air. Still do — especially now for reasons I won’t go into here.
The problem, however, is that I’ve reached the point where I don’t think it’s possible for me — partially due to roadblocks put in the way by the C of Squirrelology (and the residual effect that’s had on me) and partially due to roadblocks of my own.
So, maybe next lifetime. Maybe not. I’m doing my best to let go of any expectations because I’ve learned that if I don’t expect anything, I can’t be disappointed. Quite frankly, I’ve had enough disappointment to last me several lifetimes.
anonymous,
What training have you done? Are you familiar with the technical theory and practice of the Bridge, the lower grades, why NED is where it is on that Bridge now, what the ‘alternate route’ actually is and what it handles and therefore why you don’t do it twice and why someone who has gone on past that level to the Upper Levels of OT I-III technically doesn’t ‘go back’ through the material from NED/Power on up?
Are you familiar with ‘cleaning a clean’ and how this relates to the above?
Do you know why Dianetics is forbidden on those Clear and above?
Just curious.
FF,
You write to me and we’ll set you up with someone who is applying LRH tech and you’ll get sorted out.
I sat parked for decades and in an extremely short period got sorted out and got going again to move on up. I’m ecstatic and move every day even more. Hard to imagine there is more too since this state is unbefreakinlievable!!!
Now, the biggest difficulty is wins!
Joe Howard
As I recall you mentioned some changes in the later 1970’s. I don’t remember details without going back to check. I can’t do that right now.
But it just seemed odd to me that in the current Cof S that someone doing the CC when Hubbard was round could not be clear. That is unless they messed up auditing it or changes were made to refine things later.
hi freedom fighter, this one is for your
We all have our disappointments. From time to time I watch this part from the movie “Braveheart”. Helps me to rekindle an old purpose.
David
Glad to see you around Deb. I was worried because I did not see you post anywhere anymore.
Yes, this was a great article. I had read it earlier and again was most impressed that staff co-audited to clear and then were able to continue up the bridge on staff pay, as it should be. Staff are to valuable to be neglected as seems to be the case looking at C of M’s history.

It is a video clip of Dan Koon since your post mentioned Dan koon and the You tuber site is a Freezone account.
Any action can be started and ended before it reaches it’s end phenomena. This could happen on the Purif all the way up.
The problem with DM’s roundup of Clears and invalidation of many of them with his not-Clear R-Factors is that many in fact had made it.
But even a broken clock is right twice a day. So in your example it is possible the person had not fully done the Clearing Course to EP.
Thanks, Jim. Appreciate it. E-mail on its way.
“unbefreakinlievable” LOL! Love it! 🙂
David, great clip! One of my favorites. Thanks for posting it.
Is there a Clear equivalent in TIR?
To Jim Logan:
I am asking because I am not trained much. So I don’t know. Well, I have a little training but not much.
I do know you don’t run someone who is Clear on NED. I do know of a friend who was found not Clear on NOTs went back on NED then back on Nots and completed Nots 6 mos later after being on it 15 years. They had hardly any Ned earlier anyway.
But never mind that last example. I am completely flabbergasted that someone can do a course called the Clearing Course ( in 1973) after doing Power Processes etc and found by the current Cof S to be not be a Clear. The person even said they had case gain on the two hours of R3R. I was just wondering if there is anyway someone may not have run the CC materials properly was all. Anything?
Oh and Logan, I did read Dan Koon’s Clear write-up.
I read why those PPs were done, and why the Grade Chart was changed with NED after Grades etc.
I am just trying to see if there is any possible way the CofS might be right on this one person. I mean what could they have found when looking over the folders?
I recall the precise moment, this lifetime, I realized I was Clear. Didn’t happen in session and had nothing to do with Scientology. I was ready to tear the skin off an incompetent buffoon who’d crossed me one time too many when I literally blew out of my head. I immediately knew I was Clear, though it was totally non-sequiter to the current situation.
I went to the Org the next day, straight to the examiner. Couldn’t wipe the smile from my face or keep the needle on the dial.
You know what you know.
Then came the CCRD from hell; implants were more fun. My SO auditor fell asleep several times and thought TRs meant he had to sit there with a stony face, staring at the meter. Introverted to about the size of a postage stamp, I “attested” to Not Clear and promptly blew.
I was recovered after a few days, set up for another CCRD and, how’s my intention, my auditor couldn’t take me in so I pulled in an VIII with the best, most natural TRs and comm cycle I’d ever seen (aside from a character who’d audited me last life time) and, wham, I flew through the thing and there is NOT A DAMNED THING Miscavige could ever say that could invalidate that state.
anonymous,
My suggestion is you get trained, all the way up.
Answering specific questions about cases, with no folders, no Director of Processing type interview data, and so on, is impossible. It’s also ‘off-line’.
Anonymous,
On this one person, I sure wouldn’t say, over this forum or any other.
On ‘a’ person, is it possible they did not reach the EP of the CC materials? Of course it is. In that case, why not just flatten the CC materials? What has NED got to do with this?
Again, any case for programming needs individual study and handling. You yourself need to get trained as then you yourself will know what to do.
Lastly, Dan Koon’s write-up is not what I meant when I asked you about Power, R6EW and the rest of it. I was referring to the LRH tapes and bulletins. You’ve answered that question by saying you aren’t trained. Get trained.
Did I mention GET TRAINED?
anonymous,
One last thing. If you don’t have folders, then you reconstruct the data. DofP interviews and such. You can put it all together and from there using the CS Series, put together an appropriate program for that case compared to the Grade Chart, the overall guide for any case.
This one is for you Sarge.
David Mayo, ex Scientology proponent, talks of the 20 page despatch from L. Ron Hubbard to him, 1983-84 talk:
http://video.google.nl/videoplay?docid=-1028123723501047436&ei=nkKhS-6gK4yF-AbkvJWiDQ&q=David+mayo+scientology&hl=nl&view=3#
David Mayo was the senior spiritual technical person who L. Ron Hubbard initially entrusted to oversee the whole Scientology spiritual practice legacy in 1982, when the aging Hubbard realized he didn’t have many years left. Mayo’s title was the Senior Case Supervisor International. Mayo fell from grace just months after the April 1982 20 page despatch from Hubbard where Hubbard detailed to Mayo what Hubbard wanted.
(text came with the Video wich I shortened)
“Did I mention GET TRAINED?”- Jim Logan
Ya’ but where?
Anyhow you answered my question thank you very much. I’d say more which would explain some things but it’s not for here.
However, you can always ask for your PC or PreOT’s back folders and you’ll probably get them around the same time Porky is approved by the FAA.
Any way the actual HCOB that refers to auditing without a folder is C/S Series 19.
Also regarding this case who supposedly did the CC and they found out he wasn’t clear.
The fact that they put him back onto NED is still a violation of C/S series 73.
The Standard Tech handling would have been to review his solo levels and do the appropriate correction list such as an L7 and then have him complete the level.
The “handling” they did was totally squirrel!
Clear, not Clear and again not Clear, is completely DM style.
It definitely was a nightmare what I and many of my selectees went through inside the C of M.
Jim L is absolutely right! Recently I got that state validated outside the C of M and realized that I was right about being a past life Clear all this time, God damn! It really feels REALLYgood. No one can take that away from me!!!! 🙂
Yeah!!! That’s AWESOME! I am glad you got that handled. Way to go on flourishing and Prospering!
CD, A lot happened after that despatch too.
I take it you took it upon you to take over Mayo’s workload ?
