I’m going to have to step down. It’s a shame OT Infinity will leave with me🙄. Because anyone who steps down for the good of the people takes the things that are supposed to help them with him. And by all means, whether or not I am doing anything to earn it, be sure to keep paying me money because I’m in prison. Hmm maybe I was wrong, he sounds more like Hubbard every day.

He has never been in trouble in prison? The guards who he attacked disagree. One of the times he assaulted a guard is classified as a felony in the indictment. Perhaps if he delved deeper into the alleged research of his alleged past life he would discover that there is cause and effect. He’s spent so much time in solitary because in Scientology parlance, he pulled it in.

But, tbh, his screeds, though dense and totally unbroken by simple things like paragraphs, are not as totally incomprehensible as Hubbard’s. That right there should be a sign he is not who he says he is.

Another legend in his own mind, Val?

Too long, don’t want to know, actually.

If there is such a state as OT, anyone in that state would simply dematerialise from an undesired location to a more agreeable time and location.

Too long and distracting from the truth, don't you think? Wonder how much psychology education he has. He's good.

If he were just a simple criminal then it might be easier to believe that Lafayette is Ron 2.0 since he would be following Scientology practices as illustrated by Ron 1.0 and David Miscavige. But at this point it’s far easier to believe in Bigfoot than Lafayette. I’m surprised he has any followers — although I might say the same thing about Trump.

"Given that I’ve never been in trouble *here*" (emphasis mine)

"I was bold enough to fight with a few of the guards" (bold, maybe, but not very smart)

Having all your followers persistently call and bug the government officials may not be as effective as you think it will be, especially if (as you claim) the government is actively trying to suppress you by keeping you in jail. I mean, either they're all elements of a conspiracy (in which case, calls are pointless) or they're public servants/government officials trying to diligently execute their duty (in which case, calls might have an effect). So which is it, Ron?

I don't even know how to separate my thoughts. LRH didn't go to prison on any charges--he let his own wife do it. This one still thinks he can affect the right change? Who is he kidding? This man is delusional, in my opinion, and he's doing the same thing as DM, who I just noticed, duh, has the same initials as the other DM sitting in prison. Hmmm, maybe they should form a group?

I don't understand why someone is allowed to run a cult from their jail cell!

Well, it’s a long shot. How about running the country from jail. It’s that ludicrous.

"And with it is such a sense of rage at what has happened to me..." Poor impulse control and an 'attitude'. Hubbard #1 had fairly good impulse control, otherwise his mouthing off to superior officers would have placed him in the stockade very quickly. Nah, this guy is just another charlatan who has charmed a few people into giving him money. How very Lronic of him.

I would have thought that most should have doubted he is LRH the moment he publicly said he felt it was best he step down and let someone else take over.

Not much about Esperian on Google. And 2.0’s reference to Incident 0. What’s that? Hubbard’s original space opera OT levels are bad enough. Now we have an illiterate wanna be adding to that. One more case of Scientology begetting insanity.

Try “Esperianism”, Geoff. Although the groups 2.0 has are usually set to “private” or only accessible to his faithful few.

Elwin, thanks I will.

Hubbard 2.0 seems to have fallen into the same trap as his first version. His comment that he is using a "technique" that cements his certainty about his bogus past life suggests it.

Julia Shaw, in "The Memory Illusion", gives the steps to create a false memory. Oddly they seem to match the steps of Dianetics past life recall almost exactly.

I don't know anything about his techniques, but the original 1.0 Scientology relies heavily on false memory. Hubbard 1.0 created vast sweeping panoramas of false history and false "recovered" technology using false memory.

We don't actually remember in a linear way, a lot of it is reconstructed from context. When some charlatan asks us to "remember" information from before we were born, we can construct a memory. Similar to the way Bridey Murphy constructed a seemingly complete past life in Ireland from stories she heard from a local Irish domestic.

The horrific part is that there is no way to distinguish the false from the true, other than to find actual documentation or cross check with others who were also present. In your own mind you were there on Arslycus, cleaning windows with newsprint. You "know" that is the right way to do it.

Hubbard's grand version of the Akashic Record, with a 56 perceptic snapshot every 25 milliseconds is simply dead wrong.

I don't know whether past lives are real, but I do know Hubbard's attempts to explore them on himself and on others simply resulted in a huge pile of ignorance. They just feel so real, just like real memories, it is hard to discount them. Especially when they seem to agree with your general idea of yourself.

If you really were the Pharoah of a space opera Egypt with saucers and lizard men, why would you hesitate to demand obedience from the puny humans of this degraded civilization? You are certain you are right.

When you look inside for all your answers, you only find your obsessions and ambitions. Never objective truth. As Nietzsche warned, don't stare too long into the Abyss. Eventually you find it staring back.

So, in much the same lines as Jens, what I'm reading is: OTs are not at cause over MEST, and cannot defeat SPs.

Pretty sure you need to stop assaulting people if your goal is to get out of jail. Maybe “research” that.

I do wonder about his “religious diet.”

Expand full comment

Perhaps kosher or Halal. As his diet includes beans and rice, I see Karma being served to Lron 2.

Expand full comment

I think it’s more likely that he made up a religious diet of burgers and fries because he didn’t like jail food.
