Notes

After the war, Hubbard’s marriage dissolved¹, and he moved to Pasadena², where he became the housemate of Jack Parsons, a rocket scientist who belonged to an occult society called the Ordo Templi Orientis. An atmosphere of hedonism pervaded the house; Parsons hosted gatherings involving “sex magick” rituals.

In a 1946 letter, Parsons described Hubbard: “He is a gentleman, red hair, green eyes, honest and intelligent.” Parsons then mentioned his wife’s sister, Betty Northrup, with whom he had been having an affair. “Although Betty and I are still friendly, she has transferred her sexual affections to Ron.” One day, Hubbard and Northrup ran off together. In the official Scientology literature, it is claimed that Hubbard was assigned by naval intelligence to infiltrate Parsons’s occult group. “Hubbard broke up black magic in America,” the church said in a statement.

[…]

At the meeting, Davis brought up Jack Parsons’s black-magic society, which Hubbard had supposedly infiltrated. Davis said, “He was sent in there by Robert Heinlein”—the science-fiction writer—“who was running off-book intelligence operations for naval intelligence at the time.” Davis said, “A biography that just came out three weeks ago on Bob Heinlein actually confirmed it at a level that we’d never been able to before.” The book to which Davis was referring is the first volume of an authorized Heinlein biography, by William H. Patterson, Jr.³ There is no mention in the book of Heinlein’s sending Hubbard to break up the Parsons ring, on the part of naval intelligence or any other organization. Patterson says that he looked into the matter, at the suggestion of Scientologists, but found nothing.⁴

Notes

Lieutenant Commander A. B. Scoles wrote to Heinlein on stationery from UNITED STATES NAVY YARD, PHILADELPHIA, PA, NAVAL AIRCRAFT FACTORY. It’s obvious that they had known each other and been corresponding for some years. Scoles said that he had been reading all Heinlein’s stories, and that it was due to Heinlein’s success that Scoles was now writing to him. Elsewhere it’s reported that they were together at the Naval Academy at Annapolis (Heinlein was Class of 1929) and on the aircraft carrier USS Lexington in 1931. ¹

In his letter, a month and a week after Pearl Harbor, Scoles described experimental high altitude flight work his “laboratory” was engaged in at the Naval Aircraft Factory, cabin and suit pressurization, oxygen equipment, pressure suits, and a refrigerated  high altitude fuselage chamber. He wrote that maybe there were Astounding and Amazing Stories writers and readers, “men with ideas,” formerly known as “crack-pots” and now coming into their own as saviors of the country, and he detailed the pressure suit problem he thought this group might be able to solve.

Scoles suggested that Heinlein write an article for the sf mags about the need for all of these ideas,” and be a “clearing house” for them. Scoles believed that recent press articles about high flight operation “could be used as a reason for such an editorial and the means to pry people loose from their ideas.” Scoles proposed that he could cooperate with Heinlein, look over the ideas and take care of getting them into the proper hands for “development.”

Scoles “incidentally” invited Heinlein to go back on active duty and work “in the Factory.” He promised Heinlein “a most interesting job with not too much to do, if he thought his health could stand the Philadelphia climate.

DEFINITIONS

Lack of precise definition  as to  what is income  and  what is  “reserves”  has caused trouble  in  identifying  activities and in this flow  line of management and income.

The main trouble it has caused is that a management unit, not having precise definitions and not knowing the flow  lines  (as above),  reaches out to the  wrong “finance pools”  for their support.
(Examples:  A  Continental  CLO  tried  to  live  on  management  10  percents which were  not theirs  [UKLO  '71].  A CLO let the  nearby AOSH go down  and tried to live off Flag  [USLO  '71].  A CLO let the nearby AOSH go down,  ignoring it completely while building up only  its  most distant org  [USLO  '71].  A Div III would not collect actively  on huge debts  because  it could  borrow from  reserves  [Flag Admin Order '71].  An  OTL  ignored  its  nearby  CENTRAL  ORG  and  kept  trying  to  get  its support  from  its  CLO  [ANZO  '71].  The  earliest  example  was  a  navy  admiral [Scoles]  running the LA Foundation into the ground in  1950 because he thought it should be supported by Elizabeth, New Jersey.) The WHY of all these was lack of understanding  of flow  lines,  and  lack of definition  of income,  expenses  and reserves as different,  precise money pools and different types of orgs.

FINANCIAL PLANNING TIPS

FP need not be a burden at all.

If these five  conditions exist then FP is very easy.

1.    PRODUCE AS  AN  ACTIVITY.  Look over what  your products  should be, particularly your valuable final products, and then begin to get those products somehow anyhow.  This and only this is the shining reason why you can have a decent allocation.  If it is then denied you,  you can howl and be sure of redress.  A cap in hand with no product is a sure route to chopped  FP.  (Example:  An  org  with  half a  million  collectable  on  its books but which didn’t even send out statements had an awful time with FP.  Asking  for  “allocations”  that  were  really  handouts,  neither  its  FP body  nor  its  FBO  fully  understood  WHY,  but  it just  seemed  unreal  to give it money. It was asking for money. It wasn’t requesting the return to it of money it had made and was entitled to.  It did not make other value so could not justify value. Therefore it “sort of looked odd” to Finance. Even Finance  did  not  know  why.  The  wildest  example  of this  was  the 1950 LA Foundation which,  under a US  Navy ex-rear admiral,  wanted $47,000 a week to subsidize a foundation  potentially making $80,000 a week.  But  he  closed  its  doors  and  wouldn’t  run  it  until  he  could  get”legal” and subsidized.¹   Another one is DK  1969 wanting Flag to pay it $3,000 a week to keep  it going  when  it wasn’t even sending out letters and did not even own a typewriter yet was accidentally making $5,500 a week average. There are tons of such examples.  Activities go on to government  appropriation  think  instead  of promote-sell-collect  and  deliver and  wind  up  with  no  pay,  no  food,  no  uniforms  and  FP  troubles  and conflicts you wouldn’t believe possible.)

LEGAL AND DISSEMINATION

Why, you go down a hall in a medical building and you check in and you say, “There’s something in my eye.”

And the doctor looks at you and he says, “No,” he says, “I’m an optic specialist and you’ll have to go next door. An optic surgeon is next door, and what I handle is the cornea.

And you go next door and you find out he handles the pupil. Well, this spot of dirt is in the white.    And you have to shop around for quite a while, and you find somebody with this – that handles the white part of the eye, you see, and he takes the spot of dirt out ONLY if he is a surgeon for the white spot of the eye. By the way, I’m going along with old Doc Pottenger. I know the old man -
he’s a great old man. And he says, “If there was just some way we could break down this G. D. blankety-blank-blank specialization,” he says, “maybe we could cure something.”

Well, this method of thinking, then, going back here counterclockwise, is scientific thinking “Let’s go and gather a whole bunch of data. Let’s gather a lot of data and let’s look at a lot of phenomena. And after we’ve gotten everything we can find on the subject, then let’s go find a theory for it. And let’s just take any old theory that happens to come along and see if it explains some of this data. If it does, we’re all set.”

As a consequence, science won’t advance around here counterclockwise, but just keeps sort of wandering off, and it gets off here and there and gets all confused about it. And it has been doing so, so that you get cytology arguing with biology, arguing with evolutionists. And these theories are all different. These theories were not arrived at inductively, and these theories do not predict new phenomena.

Scientology is an effort to go around the clock clockwise – to take data and then look for material, look for the phenomena predicted by that data and see if it exists in the physical universe. Well, it’s an interesting – an interesting field, Scientology, because all it’s trying to do is pick up all the loose ends of people who were trying to travel backwards in this circle. It’s trying to get a unification of science, combine it with a unification of anything – the humanities, religion or even mathematics, aesthetics. It’s trying to bring these things all into the same field so that they can all be used.

Now, that all by itself is a worthwhile goal. It wouldn’t have to have anything to do with processing or application, curing up anything in people, to be quite worthwhile as a goal. As a matter of fact, it does that. It does that.

It’ll predict – by the way, you can take Scientology and you can predict what should be the whole field of biology and where it should mesh with cytology and where that should mesh with evolution. And you will come out with a package of data and phenomena which, if you presented them to the cytologist, to the biologist and to the evolutionist, you would find a point of agreement. They would agree on the data which you had there.
