The following poem was written by Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk.   Do you believe the poem reflects:

a) a poetic variation of L. Ron Hubbard’s  chapter on responsibility in Advance Procedures and Axioms?,

b) a transcendent awareness of the connectedness of collective spirit, or the theta universe.

c) the dramatization of an implant or some other incident.

d) something else.

Do not say that I’ll depart tomorrow
because even today I still arrive.

Look deeply: I arrive in every second
to be a bud on a spring branch,
to be a tiny bird, with wings still fragile,
learning to sing in my new nest,
to be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower,
to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone.

I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry,
in order to fear and to hope.
The rhythm of my heart is the birth and
death of all that are alive.

I am the mayfly metamorphosing on the surface of the river,
and I am the bird which, when spring comes, arrives in time
to eat the mayfly.

I am the frog swimming happily in the clear pond,
and I am also the grass-snake who, approaching in silence,
feeds itself on the frog.

I am the child in Uganda, all skin and bones,
my legs as thin as bamboo sticks,
and I am the arms merchant, selling deadly weapons to
Uganda.

I am the twelve-year-old girl, refugee on a small boat,
who throws herself into the ocean after being raped by a sea
pirate,
and I am the pirate, my heart not yet capable of seeing and
loving.

I am a member of the politburo, with plenty of power in my
hands,
and I am the man who has to pay his “debt of blood” to, my
people,
dying slowly in a forced labor camp.

My joy is like spring, so warm it makes flowers bloom in all
walks of life.
My pain is like a river of tears, so full it fills the four oceans.

Please call me by my true names,
so I can hear all my cries and laughs at once,
so I can see that my joy and pain are one.

Please call me by my true names,
so I can wake up,
and so the door of my heart can be left open,
the door of compassion.

Thich Nhat Hanh

1. Where were you between 75 million years ago and two hundred thousand years ago?

a.On Earth, in and out of pre homo-sapiens forms, evolving animal bodies into human bodies.

b.On Earth, in and out of homo sapiens bodies the entire time.

c.  In other bodies on other planets among non-human civilizations. (if so, when and why did you come to Earth?)

d. In free-spirit state (or other out of body state) on this or other planets. (if so, when and why did you begin to occupy human bodies?)

e. Other.

2.  How did the humanoid form take its current shape?

a.   Evolved over many millennia by biological natural selection or similar Darwinian-like processes.

b.  Evolved by intelligent design of individual thetans. (if so was it a rather spontaneous creation or did it occur over many generations of body building and modification? When?)

The following is the latest publication on the subject of Mark ‘Marty’ Rathbun currently being distributed far and wide by the ‘church’ of Scientology.  

Marty Charles Rathbun – Institutionalized in 1956, born in 1957

Marty Rathbun was born in San Rafael, California on January 9, 1957, and his first brush with electrifying violence came before his birth.

While his mother was pregnant with him, she and he were institutionalized and received drug and electric shock treatment.

“IN 2007, RESEARCHERS OF MAINE MEDICAL CENTER PERFORMED A STUDY AS TO WHETHER ELECTROSHOCK IS SAFE DURING PREGNANCY. THE RESULT? THE SCIENTISTS FOUND THAT, IN ONE PREGNANT WOMAN, ELECTROSHOCK CAUSED BRAIN DAMAGE TO THE BABY.” AMERICAN COLLEGE OF OBSTETRICIANS AND GYNECOLOGISTS

It was 1956, in a country club type of psychiatric mental hospital, where Mrs. Patrica Lois Rathbun was institutionalized and forced to undergo electric shock therapy (ECT). Of course, she was heavily sedated for she would receive a series of electric shock treatments. She was entered into the institution against her will because she was a rebellious, promiscuous and pregnant. The fetus would eventually to become Mark “Marty” Rathbun. The drug and electric shock therapy she received, Rathbun got the same with full voltage. To those who knew him, they perceived was a sort of Rosemary’s baby phenomena—his psychotic and violent side. The side that he hides from those he manipulates today.

 “ECT has been used on pregnant women (and still is today). So the developing brain of the baby has 220 volts of electricity run through it. The lady mentioned was expecting when she was treated with ECT. Her child was born premature, never grew to a normal size and suffers from speech impairment even now.” – hyphenbird.hubpages.com

Thanks to everyone who participated in the past lives survey, and for the wonderful detail and discussions.

Here is a follow up survey on the subject of ‘between lives.’

1. If you are one of the approximately 1/4 of responders who noted there are implant stations awaiting us after death, please answer the following:

a)   Who operates these stations?

b)   Are they represented on earth, and if so in what form?

c)   Do you feel an obligation to educate or prepare your fellow beings on earth about them, or to otherwise do something about their operators?

2.  If you are one of the approximately 65 percent of responders who who noted there are no such obstacles as implant stations extant, please answer the following:

a)  How come we don’t see many second lifetime Scientologists making themselves known, with irrefutable evidence of past identity?

b)  Do you feel an obligation to educate those (or otherwise release them) who believe in afterlife tragedies like implant stations, or hell, so as to free them from delusion and the anxiety that might accompany it?

Please participate in this survey by posting your response in a comment. List the question number followed by the answer letter and any clarification/verification you would like to provide.

1. What degree of proof do you have of the existence of previous lifetime identities of your own?

a)      Knowingness by virtue of memories or perceptions, validated and acknowledged, or not, only by e-meters and auditors.

b)      Verified historically recorded events and/or locations out of session, after the fact of recalling (having had no previous education or information about them).

c)       Demonstrated to another person by location of physical evidence of past life recalls.

2. If you have witnessed as a C/S or auditor the return of a Scientologist in a new body after death, which of the following applies:

a)      We located his or her old folders and carried on with no glitches precisely where he or she left off from the previous lifetime.

b)      The person identified unique (could not have been suggested by an old acquaintance of the deceased) evidence of the deceased identity’s life.

c)       We determined that the past life identity was suggested to the preclear by others, or there was no evidence (unique information provided by preclear that he or she could not have been briefed on by another).

3. What happens to thetans between lifetimes on this planet?

a)      Reports to implant stations for forgetting treatment, then gets dumped back on earth.  (If so,where are the implant stations located)?

b)      Exteriorizes, cruises around for a while (or not), then enters another body?

c)       Other.
