As might have been evident from my last post Abolition of Scientology Slavery, my approach and contribution to that abolition will continue to be pursued along educational lines. In that regard, I have three books at various stages of completion which I hope to publish in 2014. Upon completion, I reckon I will have done what I can do on and with the subject of Scientology.
I will provide short previews of each book between now and the end of the year. Responses to those summaries will play a role in sequence of completion and publishing. The working title of the first one to preview is Clear and Beyond: How to Graduate from Scientology.
This is a manual for assisting one toward restoring forfeited critical, analytical and independent thinking and living. It does not attempt to sell a particular ultimate path. Instead, it is a recommendation on how one might learn to find one’s own way after having been conditioned toward being a good follower. Some of its content has been presaged in many posts over the past year on this blog.
Clear and Beyond will include a deconstruction of the OT levels of Scientology designed to provide context and understanding for those who have engaged in them. It also might serve to protect others who have contemplated embarking on the OT levels from a lot of pain, grief, and confusion. It is not a shallow debunking of Hubbard and his theories. Instead, it is an in-depth analysis demonstrating how Hubbard might have wound up going the way he went and how ultimately the way he went was the all too common way of religion: releasing one from holding to a set of crippling beliefs and considerations by inviting one to hold even stronger to another set.
The analysis validates Hubbard’s intuitive prowess while also helping a person to see how subsequent science and consciousness studies demonstrate more clearly what it was Hubbard was grappling with at these levels. It could help one navigate out of the egocentric, devotional – thus limiting and ultimately crippling – belief system Hubbard inculcates as part of his processes.
Clear and Beyond will share a course of study that leads a person toward pursuing wisdom and greater awareness, capitalizing on – rather than nullifying – whatever gains one might have attained in and with Scientology.
