			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scientology claims to alter people&#8217;s weight upwards of twenty to thirty  five pounds.</p>
<blockquote><p>A process known as the Remedy of Havingness is capable of altering the weight of a man upwards of twenty to thirty-five pounds even though there is no change whatsoever in the diet or living habits of that person. [...]</p>
<p>Another process known as Perfect Duplication can reverse this, and, again without change of diet or the living habits of a man, decrease the amount of mass of a man without the complications of heat or waste products being present. Thus, forthrightly and directly, in the same frame of reference as that used by the physicist, it is easily demonstrated that life does create mass and can cause mass to disappear.</p>
<p>[...] By undertaking a study of the mind from the orientation of physics, and with the application of all the principles known in chemistry, physics and mathematics (items in which the nineteenth-century psychologist was entirely unfamiliar, and which the twentieth-century psychologist utterly disdains), it was only then possible to produce some comprehension of this thing we call life in this place we call the physical universe.</p>
<p>[...] When we have arrived at a state where John Jones himself knows that he is an awareness of awareness unit—it is not his mind, his body, his clothes, his house, his car, his wife or his grandparents—we have what is called a Clear. A Clear is simply an awareness of awareness unit which knows it is an awareness of awareness unit, can create energy at will, and can handle and control, erase or re-create an analytical mind or a reactive mind. (The analytical mind is the mind which thinks, observes data and resolves problems and the reactive mind is that part of the mind which is totally stimulus-response and contains all moments of pain and unconsciousness experienced by the individual.)<sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-4540-1' id='fnref-4540-1'>1</a></sup></p></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<h4>Somatics:</h4>
<p>One of the steps of Audited NOTS consists of hundreds of  approaches to handling the sources of somatics and physical conditions.  This goes further than just a pain in the arm or something like that.  One of the discoveries is that one can feel his body and feel the weight  of it — you have to lift it out of bed in the morning and some days you  have to push harder than others to push it around. The discovery is  that these are not normal perceptions. In other words, that&#8217;s not the  way bodies should feel. In actual fact, just as things become rather  flimsy or transparent to an OT, a body becomes extremely light.</p>
<p>As  you move through the 26 rundowns to a full Audited NED for OTs  completion, New OT V produces more miracles than any other technology.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hubbard denies that Scientology is in the field of healing, but can cure broken legs in three or four days.</p>
<blockquote><p>Now, the consternation which can spread through a hospital by a Scientologist walking in from bed to bed and doing Touch Assists and so forth has already been demonstrated on many occasions. And it is consternation. But nobody can confront it. The doctors can’t confront it. Some of the nurses do, but never the doctors. Scientology has done some fantastic things in hospitals. Well, I personally have discouraged it. We are not in the field of healing.</p>
<p>That doesn’t say we can’t heal better than they can. But healing is at such an ebb that if you cure somebody with a broken leg . . I mean that too, cure him . . and he’s been in bed for three or four days with this broken leg, and they’re getting ready to come in and put a souvenir cast on him . . I think that’s why they put casts on things like that, it’s so people can write their names on it and then keep the souvenir.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hubbard claims that for some, there exists something before the start of time in this universe. Gives the rule that if there is charge on it (i.e., if the E-meter reacts on the subject) just run it, without evaluating the truth of the experience and without regard  to religious beliefs about heaven, hell or how many lives one has. Admits that what is being addressed in session is not past lives but is rather instincts and impulses; claims that this is what gets results; gives examples of the types of results to be gotten with Dianetics, such as curing complete paralysis, making useful citizens out of alcoholics, making the lame walk and the blind see.</p>
<blockquote><p>The funny part of it is that there is evidently, at least on some cases, something earlier than the beginning of track. Back there you will find there may be charge on some sort of an ejection from another universe. I don’t care how you evaluate this or anything else: If it is there and if it has got charge on it, run it.</p>
<p>And that is why you ought to be using a psychogalvanometer, because it will tell you where the charge is on the case and whether or not you ought to run the thing. You can fool around with this case for just dozens of hours, perhaps, without a meter, and you won’t know what you are doing. It is something like an old-time photographer who took a lot of pride in being able to go out and squint one eye at the sun and say, &#8220;Well, I guess I set her at 4.5 f6 a fiftieth of a second,&#8221; and he would shoot a picture. Well, it’s a funny thing that they invented light meters. Light meters sell like hotcakes. And the old-time photographer feels very clever about this, but he does not get the pictures of a modern professional who uses a Weston meter. And this is the difference between an auditor without a psychogalvanometer and an auditor with one. If you find charge when you ask the preclear &#8220;Is there anything before the beginning of time?&#8221; and he says yes and he tells you about it, you just run it out. Don’t sit there and argue about religion with him or something of the sort; just run it out and he will be a happier preclear.</p>
<p>Now, same way with the Helper, same way with the Grim Weeper, same way with overt acts as a monkey or an ape or a sloth; overt acts as Neanderthal — women he has choked, horses he has ridden to death, men he has stabbed, babies he has stepped on — it doesn’t matter: If there is charge on it, run it. That should be your byword. And if it is not your byword, you go on down the street and practice Christian Science or something. Because we have got to get results in Dianetics; that is all we want. We want well people!</p>
<p>Now, it may give you a little bit of trouble explaining it to little Bessie Ann’s mother — Bessie Ann being twelve — and you have just gotten through auditing her out of polio paralysis. She was walking, maybe, on crutches before you got hold of her and you have audited her out of polio paralysis, and she goes home and  she says to Mama, &#8220;Mama, you know it’s a funny thing, but I lived before.&#8221; And Mama says, &#8220;Oh no, that’s just nonsense, Bessie Ann. Nobody ever lived before. It says right there on that church bulletin board that there is only one life, and you go to heaven or hell afterwards.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, that may be commercial for the church but it is not getting results for a Dianetic auditor. Now, anybody in the field that is saying &#8220;past lives&#8221; and so forth is just shooting the breeze. We are not running past lives; we are running facsimiles. We are not even running pre-existences. We are just running instincts and impulses, and whatever the preclear gets, that goes, because these things get results.</p>
<p>Now, you are in Dianetics to make people well; I have to assume that. If you are in Dianetics, you should be making people well; I am assuming that. This world is pretty sick; we don’t have to assume that, it’s obvious. You get back to your hometown, with or without your teammates, and you start taking on cases that medical science has never been able to touch — you know, such as cases with a common cold, cases of hangnails and cases of mumps and anything else. It doesn’t matter; medical science has never been able to touch them. You take on those cases and you are going to be doing just fine. People are going to come around and see you. But the most important thing is, supposing you start taking on cases that are paralyzed — complete — and all of a sudden they are walking again. Well, you may have to do some explaining. You may have to get right down and just grovel and explain why it is and apologize, what you had to do to get this person walking again.</p>
<p>Yes, you will not! If you make people walk and if you make the blind see and if you straighten out lives that nobody else could touch, if you take alcoholics that have been a liability to society and themselves and everything else nearly all their lives and all of a sudden they are useful citizens, you don’t have to apologize to anybody! In other words, you don’t need any approval to survive. On the contrary, people are asking you for a right to survive.</p></blockquote>

<h4>what&#8217;s your level of confront?</h4>
<p>All WISE members have a responsibility to support and protect the  integrity of churches of the Scientology religion by helping to keep  distractions created by businesses off the lines of said organizations  and to report to WISE any and all such situations found. Here&#8217;s a quiz  to test your confront of evil, as well as a drill to help you raise it.</p>

<blockquote><p>The primary reason WISE was established was to see to it that Scientology organizations, their staff and their public, are kept safe from individuals involved in unethical business practices.</p>
<p>All WISE members contribute to this purpose by agreeing to the Code of a WISE Member, which includes points to keep ethics in on themselves and those around them, as well as refraining from using a church&#8217;s lines or premises for personal financial gain.</p>
<p>While keeping ethics in on one&#8217;s peers is a responsibility of all WISE members, Charter members take this to a higher level, with their first and foremost duty being to corral up and handle business disputes in their area so these do not distract from the vital mission being carried out by their local Church of Scientology.</p>
<p>To that end, the first ever Confront of Evil Conference was held in New York for Charter members in the Eastern United States.</p>
<p>The conference was a no-nonsense period of intense study and drilling of key references on ethics, and what it means to be a WISE member and Charter member.</p>
<p>The tone of the event was set by opening with the 2004 International Association of Scientologists Event video featuring Mr. Tom Cruise, the first Freedom Medal of Valor winner in Scientology history.<sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-4389-1' id='fnref-4389-1'>1</a></sup></p>
<h4>Studying and Drilling</h4>
<p>A complete pack of materials was presented to each attendee including the Code of a WISE Member, the membership agreement with WISE, and various HCO Policy Letters on the subject of ethics.</p>
<p>They were then drilled on the application of what they had studied after each portion of theory study.</p>
<p>Drills included such things as pulling a string* based on something not understood. This was actually a practical assignment and attendees pulled strings on each other.</p>
<p>Another drill the attendees did was to use the Code of a WISE Member to sign up or recover a WISE member. Not one of the attendees had ever used this approach before, but were very excited about the idea of bringing about a change in the beingness of a person as a Scientologist in business and WISE member, through standard enlightenment on WISE.</p>
<p>They also did Chinese School on &#8220;E/O [Ethics Officer] Conduct&#8221; from HCO PL, THE ETHICS OFFICER, HIS CHARACTER.</p>
<h4>After the Weekend</h4>
<p>Just about everyone realized that they themselves needed to improve their own ethical behavior, and also spotted others back home that they wanted to apply their new knowledge and skill to. They didn&#8217;t wait to get back home to start, though. They started then and there to confront and handle out-ethics situations.</p>
<p>So not only did everyone learn a lot, they also had a great time, with high morale from the hard work and stiff targets they completed over the weekend.</p>
<p>And to top it off, Wendy Patten of Long Island decided to become a Sea Org member as a WISE Inspector. She signed up without comm lag and will arrive in a few weeks</p>
<h4>Success Stories</h4>
<p>&#8220;I have a new reality on what it takes to persevere and get the desired product. Confronting evil is not always a fun activity, but vitally necessary to ensure our Church is buffered and protected from the covertly hostile and suppressive persons. I have a new level of confront and refreshed purpose.&#8221; — R.M.</p>
<p>&#8220;Selling WISE on a &#8216;beingness&#8217; basis was excellent and it&#8217;s cool because we will have agreement up front that they are going to be ethical. This will be really helpful. We&#8217;ll be making a lot more &#8216;players.&#8217; Plus &#8212; it&#8217;s granting that guy beingness, that he&#8217;s going to be in agreement with this. This is great — thanks.&#8221; — K.W.</p>
<p>&#8220;There have been several things covered that mean a lot to me. Looking at the Code again rejuvenated those purposes to become a greater success and a better example, and to apply more fully the admin tech. Also, helping others to improve their situations by getting them to confront their scene and the results of it.&#8221; — J.H.</p>
<p>&#8220;What I really loved about this conference is that it&#8217;s really gotten me to look at my own self as a WISE member and business owner and what it means to be a Charter member. I think the hat of a Charter member will force me, or pull me rather, up to a higher level on my other posts. This is a very good thing. This is a very ethical and worthwhile group. I can really see how we can assist the org and support our Church in its vital expansion.&#8221; — A.G.</p>
<h4>Results</h4>
<p>The response from the Confront of Evil Conference has been the most instantaneous and most dramatic of any previous WISE conference held in the Eastern US.</p>
<p>Many of the attendees have now taken on more responsibility as Charter members and assumed posts such as the Ethics Officer of the committee.</p>
<p>Their eyes were opened to situations in their areas needed to be confronted and handled and they started right away.</p>
<p>The second Confront of Evil Conference has also now been held in New York for those who missed the first one. These conferences will be held in every continental zone. Contact your local WISE office for dates and locations. This is something you don&#8217;t want to miss!</p>
