And it’s no surprise Radical Scientology attempts to mischaracterize you as an overthrowing revolutionary, rather than someone who is simply telling the truth. I guess Orwell was right.

My God! Who is going to stop these people? And that dog, what must have been done to it to turn it into such a vicious and demented beast? Surely something can be done about these irredeemable criminals.

I mean, “Public Safety” and all – ya’ know?

Just a guy and his girl and dog watching the day go by.
A guy who wants to set the record straight.
A guy who is being there and communicating.
A guy who is helping others.
The man in black.

Marty – a really nice video to go along with a great quote. I notice that Chiquita has a mind of her own. She sure ain’t no Kool aid drinker.
Thor | May 1, 2011 at 6:28 pm |

I had a cognition this morning on what is meant by the term “bot”. You mean bad 8C. Bad control?
And earlier I figured, is there a difference between “being critical” and having a whine.
I do’nt see though how the bird is public enemy #1

Hey Marty, looks like your dog is an Independent too!
Grasshopper | May 1, 2011 at 6:39 pm |

Nice! Thanks for the mellow-out. As I was watching, I was thinking about the little town across the Gulf from you, and thinking – they could be doing this, too – but they can’t!
Thoughtful | May 1, 2011 at 7:13 pm |

Great quote, Haydn. Nice video Marty!
RJ | May 1, 2011 at 7:15 pm |

Thanks Marty,

Nice to get away from the GPM that Radical Scientology (TM) or RS seems to be creating.

You’re “Public Enemy” No. #1 because they think you know where *all* the bodies are buried and the exact number of skeletons in their closet.

In other words you keep missing their withhold and they naturally respond per the HCOB ‘Withholds Missed and Partial’.

They have to mock you up and therefore us to a degree as some kind of radical movement to oppose in order to gain support from what is left of their “public” who are to a great extent PTS or SP themselves since to a large degree they can’t see or are unwilling to look at or much worse are in agreement with the direction the Organization has taken.

Therefore there is absolutely no logic in what they do. So all their actions seem illogical because they basically are because they are a bank reaction thus are totally non survival.

Instead of Thetan, Mind and Body which is how most *sane* organizations are run it is reactive mind and body.

In other words total reaction.

Anyway just a cognition I had while watching Chiquita chase a stick.

So thanks Chiquita!

I think I saw Jon Allender and company in matching, squirrel-buster scuba gear out in the bay, off to the left, right under the setting sun. Hopefully the skimmers got him.

Nice quote Marty. And the good book says that the first will be last and the last first. True Humility is indeed a state of grace.
Glad to see you and Mosey enjoying the end of the day.
May you have many, many more.
martyrathbun09 | May 1, 2011 at 9:10 pm |

Are you kidding? This is actually J. Krishnamurti? If it is, and he speaks of the need of a master what a hypocrite he turned out to be.
theoracle | May 1, 2011 at 9:35 pm |

You have a beautiful mind Marty.
windhorse | May 1, 2011 at 10:01 pm |

J. Krishnamurti renounced his own words several years after writing “At the Feet of the Master”

In 1929 Krishnamurti renounced the title of World Leader and said that:

“Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path…”

After his renunciation of being the new “World Leader”, Krishnamurti spent the rest of his life traveling the world giving lectures and writing books.

Aaaaaaaahhh…………….. Isn’t it sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet to have a day to just be……………………………………………………………………………………….
No reg calls for Basics, ACCs, Congresses, Library Campaigns, IAS status upgrades, Idle Orgs, Accomos, Renos, stupid questions like “are you studying right now” what course..what book…what status are you, did you go to the bathroom yet? …what the F#$K? All we ever were to the machine, was a # for a stat and another $ in his war chest and not our own. I never did like Kool Aid. How did I tolerate drinking it for so long.

I think I’ll choose a life of “being”, instead of being “had.” The sun is out. May day… May day… May day… the bots scream and call… but I ignore them all and I feel no more urgency…at last! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh…………………… How sweet! Think I’ll go tend my garden. Everyone have a beautiful day.

Are sharks in your bay?

Can I swim in the bay?

What do you feed Chiquita?

Where did you get her?

How old is she?

Does she bark a lot?

Who grooms her?

What kind of dog has the Cob?

Is there a no animal policy at the INT base?

Well said, Marty. I only noticed one outpoint however. Chiquita does not wear a uniform with shoulder boards!

As a tribute to my insight (cognition) (epiphany) that beingexterior is not really outside of anything — not outside of my body, nor the room, not the building, not the universe;
that being exterior is
being nowhere at all …
exterior is not “outside” of anything;
and yes, I knew conceptually, that a being is a static, but then…
imagine really popping up in NOWHERE,
I took being exterior to the ultimate and surprised myself;) (delightfully)
being stably in NO SPACE.
So, whether inside or outside,
any time, in any space,
and
looking at the body even before it tells me what’s going on
(brain network), the thought and recognition
begins with me. Where am I? No where!
If this is too wild, then…forgive this as ecstasy,
and share it as a tribute to forever,
and to my diligent auditing and training,
and to Casblanca,
and to Marty, here is another quote from
the Dao (Tao):

In Tao the only motion is returning;
The only useful quality, weakness.
For though all creatures under heaven are the products of Being,
Being itself is the product of Not-being.

whoa…that nothing in nowhere is ME! Holy Inversion, Batman! I LOVE TRUTH!!!

Thank you for sharing the serenity of the Texas Gulf Coast with the world. You have more than earned the simple pleasure of relaxing with the setting sun and following the flight of the sea birds. Enjoy!

Much love, Yvonne

Great video Marty.. it communicates.

I spent the day trying to learn to kite surf and being drug across the water sans board. I think you have the right idea staying on the shoreline.

In any case, it is nice to be alive and appreciate more than a couple of the dynamics.

As I was driving home.. got the news of Bin Laden. A real public enemy #1.

Part of the irony of the attacks on you is that targeting a Scientologist who is actively helping people, is the number one concern of the C of $. So easy to target staff and make them the “enemy”.

The who’s for planet earth have somehow congregated at the Int Base, worked tirelessly for little pay and less sleep to get promoted there, only to be recognized as SP’s who are trying to stop DM. Fortunately they can be locked into trailers and in that way we can handle planet earth.

I think a walk along the shoreline with you and a bit of locational would probably be the best remedy for what ails them currently. I hope more and more are able to join you there.
Valkov | May 2, 2011 at 9:00 am |

Whoa Nellie. I think there has been a rush to judgement of Krishnamurti based on out-of-contexts snippets about him.

The posted essay is well worth reading and is not at all about “the need of a master”, and he never renounced what he wrote in that document because it was not about that at all. It was his personal statement of belief about how to live if you are on the path towards moving on up a little higher, the ethics and mindfulness and the strenuous focus, effort and dedication to certain principles, that was necessary for an individual to observe, in order to make any progress.

Krishnakurti renounced the organization he was “elected” to be the head of by the Theosophists Besant and Leadbetter. They created the organization and ‘anointed’ him to be the ‘World Savior’ when he was still in his teens, apparently using his own strong desire and 4th dynamic motivation to help mankind to convince him to accept this role. The original impulse for his role in this organization was other-determined.

By the time he was 34, he completely renounced the idea that “gurus”, “saviors”, “churches” and similar institutions could actually help in this regard. He saw them as an impediment, not as facilitation.

He dissolved the organization and from then on unequivocably spoke from a very Tao-like viewpoint.
Valkov | May 2, 2011 at 9:27 am |

Veritas,

I posted this on Geir’s blog just the other day, it is about the representation on paper of the 8 Dynamics:

“Chris, I was going to post a couple of weeks ago about the diagram, and never did. I believe it has been incorrectly described for some decades now, with the instruction being to label the circle in the middle as Dynamic 1.

I believe the more correct way to represent the Dynamics is to label the first concentric ring as Dynamic 1, leaving the circle in the center empty.

The empty center circle could be designated as “static”, “void”, “emptyness”, “source”, “cause”, Tao, or whatever, if one really must name it something. Vinnie may call it “unknowable” if he wishes; it is the ‘space’ within which everything exists and is also the source of that and other space(s).

The white paper outside of the concentric rings could be considered “that” also, as the actual 8 Dynamics may be represented as existing in and sourced from an infinitely fertile white glowing dimensionless ‘emptiness’ or ‘void’.

In short, I believe the current official description of how to draw this diagram of the Dynamics was alter-ised from the original somewhere along the line.”

I always liked Hubbard’s representation of the true relationship and order of magnitude between a theta being and a body as “the body is like a splinter stuck in a thetan’s thumb”.

It may well be the MEST universe could be viewed in a similar fashion, and I recall having a group processing session in which we were asked to change the orders of magnitude in this way by changing the space, and at one point I saw the entire MEST universe as no bigger than a tennis ball.

The interesting thing is, at the same time it can be viewed “up close and personal” and looked at in detail because it is all you and exists in you and hangs in the glowing fertile void which is you and the space you create it in.

Here’s a link to that thread on Geir’s blog, you might enjoy it, it’s at times a wild-and-wooly excursion into physics, metaphysics, and mysticism:

And here’s a nice song by Donovan:

Wear Your Love Like Heaven

Colour in sky prussian blue
Scarlet fleece changes hue
Crimson ball sinks from view
Wear your love like heaven (wear your love like)
Wear your love like heaven (wear your love like)
Wear your love like heaven (wear your love)
Lord, kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Allah, kiss me once more
That I may, that I may
Wear my love like heaven (wear my love like)
Wear my love like heaven (wear my love)
La, la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Colour sky havana lake
Colour sky rose carmethene
Alizarian crimson
Wear your love like heaven (wear your love like)
Wear your love like heaven (wear your love like)
Wear your love like heaven (wear your love)
Lord, kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Allah, kiss me once more
That I may, that I may
Wear my love like heaven (wear my love like)
Wear my love like heaven (wear my love)
La, la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Can I believe what I see
All I have wished for will be
All our race proud and free
Wear your love like heaven (wear your love like)
Wear your love like heaven (wear your love like)
Wear your love like heaven (wear your love)
Lord, kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Allah, kiss me once more
That I may, that I may
Wear my love like heaven (wear my love like)
Wear my love like heaven (wear my love)

Ok. So I’m elated with the peaceful and very aesthetic presentation of life in the Casablanca Tejas environs. Truly a spiritual moment shared with us.

But….

I am confused. Who’s enemy #1? Mosey? Chiquita? Those herons and skimmers? The unseen cameraman? That spiritual presentation? All of the above? Man, you’ve caused me to have lots and lots of questions! 🙂

Veritas, WOW! I would like to acknowledge your fabulous cognition. It was beautifully expressed. It communicated. Every’thing’ that is created comes from ‘no’thing’. That no’thing’ is you. Is me. The ‘infinite’ is the source of it all and we all are connected to the ‘infinite’. We are a part of the ‘infinite’. Realizing this is a major win. Much Love, Sarge
freespirit | May 2, 2011 at 3:28 pm |

Chiquita is a happy,happy girl. Unlike the K of S’s dog – who he use to keep in a cage alone in the garage at the complex. I got it on good authority, that one of the security guards had lamented that the poor dog got no attention, and was locked up in a cage all day, and as an act of kindness he took it upon himself to check up on him and give him some human companionship. Just another example of how he perverts all that is meant to be good – instead of appreciating and enjoying the joy and happiness that such a pet can provide, he is used as a tool to denigrate SO execs.

Is the dog still there? I’ll send animal control over there.

“No kids allowed”, but I want a dog to keep imprisoned in a cage in the garage all day? Obviously his priorities have been ass backwards for DECADES.

Why the hell would anyone get a dog to put in a cage to keep stored in a garage somewhere? He was running a can’t have on the dog!

Hi Marty and Mosey! (And Chiquita!) Looks like a lovely evening that you shared.

Marty, I hope I don’t sound like a jerk but I’m into videography and you should pick up a small tripod – there was some gorgeous video but it was so shaky. Most cameras are going to need one for zoom action and the lighter the camera the more often it will need one. You can get a perfectly servicable tripod at Walmart for under $20.00.

What are you shooting with, by the way?
Lana Oye | May 3, 2011 at 1:27 am |

There is an animal policy at INT Base, but it is very hard to convince the other staff that the Pit Bull {i.e. Miss Cabbage} running the place should be hoisted right over to the local kennel.

Alas, these dreams of mine…
