Logical. That Miscavige has inserted Auditor's Day back into the core "events" put on yearly by the movement.'

Auditors are the most important practitioners, without whom, the practice would not take place.

Hubbard had he lived through all the legal backlash he himself had caused, and had he sorted those all out, the subject of Hubbard's is all about making auditors and auditors auditing.

We humans cannot alleviate our "lower level case" and our "OT case" without auditors, and without becoming the auditor role to handle our "OT case".

Logical.

Too much hype and glitz, and that is honestly on Hubbard. Hubbard's final ASI writings are sickening to me in this angle.

Hubbard gave Greg Wilhere a "reject" comment on Greg's "fiction" strategy program, Hubbard wrote:

"....not enough hype...." to Greg.

Thus, if "hype" wasn't already deep enough in Scientology's DNA, LRH let the top ASIers know that "hype" was key.

All of the Hubbard ASI traffic re "Battlefield Earth" are so counter normal marketing strategies, and ASI gave up on doing what Hubbard ordered. Hubbard's book strategies for his fiction books centered upon Battlefield Earth, and I hope those become public somehow.

But for Scientology, to get back in their Auditor's Day, now, against Hubbard's wishes, if Scientology wished to counter Hubbard and center upon "Auditor's Day", that'd be actually the right thing, if they believed in their subject.

Would I do it if I were there, yes.

Would I support it now, no, other than it'd be the right thing if one is a Scientologist.

Training and becoming an auditor really is the burden of every Scientologist, and shows if they are dilletante followers or real followers.

But, to be an auditor, really isn't everyone's cup of tea. I realized this very late, while on the RPF. I realized MOST people are not suitable to even be auditors who follow faithfully the "Auditor's Code" it is something that no everyone is even suited to be this Hubbard "auditor" role. Most people cannot even be the role.

Which to me is why the subject really ought only be like the 1950s PAB level follower. Professional Auditor's Bulletin level auditor. Today, Trey Lotz is such a PAB level auditor, aka what Hubbard later labeled a "Field Auditor." (Hubbard wrote so many other requirements that when instituted it put off all the "official" Field Auditors, so that today there are literally NO Field Auditors.)

IF I were allowed, I would attend and watch the Auditor's Day even carefully, for WHO in the official Scientology world are today's "top auditors" of the various categories of auditors.

In the old traditional Auditor's Day events, what would happen is the various echelon of auditors of the year were celebrated.

IF one wishes to get the Hubbard quackery auditing today, I wouldn't, but it one did, I'd find an independent field non official Scientology "Field Auditor" or PAB level auditor.

Trey Lotz would b my pick if I were shopping.

Trey himself received one of the categories of "auditor of the year" in an event I attended back in the late 1970s I think it was, at Flag.

Trey was and likely still is the Scientology "auditor of the year" type of auditor.

Within official Scientology, there used to be almost one or one, the top Class 12s each of them, were "auditor of the year" level of quality auditor.

Funnily, on the RPF, in my years there, guess who were some of the best auditors? The OSA staff busted to the RPF were often the best auditors, LOL.

Must have something to do with smarts (as misguided as the OSA RPFers one of one are) but faithful and dedicated, any of them were, to put up with the RPF stringent rules and confinements, but dedicated unquestioning they were. Some were jerks, but most were some of the "best" Hubbard genuine auditor good "tech" (quackery proficient) people.

Oh well, so many weird counter intuitive stuff I observed in my wasted 27 years in Sea Org.

Apparently, Scientologists, one of the top four benefits of the next Ideal Org is that Puerto Rico is a "tax haven".

I don't know of any other religion that would think that would matter so much to their parishioners.

Then again, I don't know of any other religion that requires parishioners to spend thousands of dollars on basic services. Do you?

It is interesting that there was a time in Scientology when highly trained auditors were the super Heros in the cult. Then the IAS was formed to get “donations” to the organization’s war chest and then the huge donors became the super Heros. Then Miscavige dismantled the Briefing Course, the most detailed extensive auditor training in Scientology and established the ideal org program to create a new type of donor and yet another class of big bucks donor super Heros were born. And where does that leave the auditor? Way down the totem pole. Scientology is now about extracting as much money as possible from its members. The underlying emphasis in this cherch of greed is materialism. Any semblance of real spiritual growth is gone.

"renowned humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard"...Renowned humanitarians don't put toddlers in the ship's chain locker. They don't make people push peanuts across ship's decks with their nose. They don't throw non-swimmers overboard. There are so many examples of 'non-humanitarian' actions by Lron and his minions that my little brain could explode.

Auditors are the backbone of the Clam Scam. They are the lowest level in the multi level marketing business that is $cientology. It is telling that their holiday is the last one to be revived. It does seem that functions that laud the Whales were the first 'Liturgical events' to be reinstated.

The middle man with the sunglasses looks an awful like Al Baker, legendary OEC/FEBC Course Sup, quit Sea Org (second time for him if this is Al) in the mid 2000s. After he quit he moved to France with his wife for a time, and possibly he's back in LA now, regular follower.

He was/is a dynamo person. Wonder if any LA person knows if Al's back there now.
