Position statement (addressed to those familiar with Scientology terminology)
We are ex-scientologists. We have no connection to the Church of Scientology. We feel free however to use any useful scientology technology for consciousness expansion. Thus we promote Open Scientology, which was the idea in the early years, when different researchers and experimenters contributed to the development of the subject. With open scientology we of course include the concept of open sourcing scientology.
Along with this come some definitions and the new abbreviation: XSCN which has several meanings one of which is Experimental Study of Consciousness and Noetics.
XSCN
Exterior to Scientology, meaning in the first place being outside the sphere of influence and control of the Church of Scientology, independence and freedom from doctrinal narrow-mindedness characteristic of Ecclesiastical Scientology.
XScn also stands for a version of Scientology which is not limited to the first seven dynamics but includes the eighth dynamic in full.
It also means exterior to religion and science. Both science and religion are belief systems based on certain dogmas or axioms. X-Scn is to always be aware that consciousness itself will always be senior to any stabilized or semi-permanent models or statements of belief.
Due to the infinite nature of consciousness there will always be new or improved techniques, models and routes to expand consciousness, XScn thus also stands for a new standard i.e. Experimental Scientology, which is open to new input, ideas, improvements and even better than ‘standard’ technology, of course without discarding any proven principles or technology.
This is in line with the continual changes, improvements and development we have witnessed all through the history of the subject before and after its ‘standardization’ which were all based on actual experience or experiments. Just think of all the experimental work that went into GPM research.
And finally the X is an ancient symbol for transformation and change.
LRH
Ron Lafayette Hubbard, a controversial source of inspiration, an eclectic and visionary. A man who collected, (re)assembled, developed and disseminated a considerable and varied body of consciousness expansion technology, borrowing from Eastern Philosophy, Freudian, Jungian and Rogerian psychology as well as from the 19th Century New Thought Movement. A man who also fathered the derelict church of scientology.
Scientology
A word with several distinctly different meanings and subdivisions, including a trademark:
The obvious meaning of the word is: the science studying knowledge and science in general.
Scientology sounds a lot better than epistemology and would have been the word of choice if it had not been contaminated by a cult. The word Scientology was first used in a scientific context in 1871, by Stephen Pearl Andrews and should never have been trademarked.
According to Dr. A. Nordenholz, Scientology is the science of the character and soundness of knowing and knowledge (knowingness).
According to L.R. Hubbard it was the science of knowing how to know further defined as the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life. This definition could equally apply to many other spiritual philosophies including sanatana dharma, buddhism, theosophy or antroposophy, to mention a few.
Nordenholz Scientology
Scientology: The science of the quality and adequacy of knowing and knowingness, was developed by Dr. A. Nordenholz, which is a neo-Kantian, epistemological, axiomatic, philosophical dissertation and scientific treatise but does not provide techniques of consciousness exploration.
Hubbardian Scientology
The body of knowledge and spiritual technology assembled, interpreted, developed and disseminated by L. Ron Hubbard and affiliates during the years 1950 – 1986. It started as a relatively open system but ended up as a closed system around 1965 with the issuance of a ‘Keeping Scientology Working’ Policy. Geoffrey Filbert, a compeer of Hubbard’s asserted that the original Hubbard disappeared in December 1965 and was replaced. Others stated or surmised that the same happened around 1972. All this is questionable and it may just be that Hubbard was disappointed and changed, from being open and in touch with other scientists, psychologists and psychiatrists to protective conservation mode in his later years.
Ecclesiastical Scientology
A gradually altered-version of the original Hubbardian Scientology, which took place since 1965/1972. Some claim that the issue of Keeping Scientology Working was the first signal of more dogmatic lines of thought entering the subject.
Neo/Post-Hubbardian Scientology
These are various re-interpretations and developments based on Hubbardian Scientology. One Neo-Hubbardian who is continuing in the footsteps of LRH is Class XII, Pierre Ethier who is/was allegedly (re)-constructing an Upper Bridge beyond OT VIII. Then there is Ralph Hilton of Scientology Austria, who is researching OT 9 upwards.
There is an LRH contemporary and former partner who published a complete scientology lineup that is different from Hubbard’s in many respects which we could refer to as Filbertian scientology. (G.C.Filbert). There was Captain Bill Robertson, now represented by the so called Rons Orgs, who created another full range of alternative OT levels. There was Ken Ogger aka the Pilot who again developed a diferent range of scientology materials.
There are / were several more off shoots such as Dianology (Eductivism), , Dynamism (Enid Vien), TROM, Idenics, Identics, Transformational Processing, Knowledgism, DEEP, Polar Dynamics, PEAT (was influenced by Scientology) etc.
Buttlerian scientology (Spiritology) was another shortlived, neo-Hubbardian development stressing the eighth dynamic. It was based on the doctrine that all that you perceive and experience is exactly what you, out of yourself and through your own causal thinking, are creating, right now. The idea was to give adepts (ZEN like) a high caliber truth to come to terms with, under high pressure, which some, but not everyone, responded to with great results.
Axioms/Principles
The key philosophical principle states that all that is, is considered by individual or collective consciousness into being. This opens the practical possibility to change that what is, by re-consideration.
Spirit, Mind, Body
Man and the universe are holographically projected by a thetan (consciousness unit) through an individualized as well as collective energetic mind structure, embedded in Absolute Consciousness.
Mind Structure
Many, if not all inhabitants of Earth seemed to have a background of having been electronically implanted in earlier lives with certain automatic response patterns. This is at least what shows up in the sessions.These implants are called GPMs (Goals Problem Masses) and have a pattern that makes certain goals postulated by the being instantly countered by opposition. In order to free a being and restore super and higher dimensional perceptions and abilities these have to be addressed and discharged.
Scientology Technology
An accumulation of various technologies (techniques) published under Hubbard’s name. Book One Dianetics, Standard Dianetics, New Era Dianetics, New Era Dianetics for OTs, Scientology technique 80, Technique 88, Creative Processing, Effort Processing, Advanced Procedure, SOPs, SOP Goals, GPM processing, Clearing procedures, Grades processing, pre-OT levels, L10,11, and 12 etc.
Standard Technology
In 1968 a streamlining of technology took place which was called Standard Tech and was rigorously enforced as the only permissable version of uniformly working scientology technology.
We use the following definition of Standard Tech by L. Ron Hubbard: “Standard Tech is that tech which has absolutely no arbitraries”.
Examples of arbitraries
Based on this definition, given during the Class VIII course, we can confidently state that the first arbitrary that could appear would be that only Hubbard can produce, discover or declare standard technology.
It therefore also makes sense to assume that LRH actually did turn over his technical hat before his passing. Some evidence of that can be found in the writings of David and Julie Mayo.
Another arbitrary would be to assume that technology could not be improved or that a working technology has to be “kept working”. History has already shown that even the E-Meter could be improved.
Everyone has the same implanted mental structures would be another arbitrary. Apart from the likelyhood that many would share the same implants, if whole sale implanting occurred in particular regions of the galaxy.
Someone saying these implants can only be handled by repeater technique and when the pattern is known, may be another arbitrary.
Clear
There have been many definitions of the state of clear and there are different types of Clear.
The basic idea comes from the verb to clear which means to remove people or things from a place where they are not wanted. It is therefore necessary to specify what was cleared of what. In Dianetics and Scientology it was recognized that it may not be possible to actually clear out all charge from trillions of years of accumulated charge on the time track.
Thus the realization occurred that instead of attempting to erase all incidents on the time track, it would suffice to bring the thetan (spiritual being) into such a state of confidence and ability that it could at a glance erase anything which would show up as charge stemming from self generated computations and considerations.
Such a state – evidenced by a clear cognition – may occur while doing dianetics or through running specific implanted GPMs.
Release
Research has shown that there exist certain abilities and awarenesses which follow a natural graded sequence and which all together add up to a high level of personal harmony and relative stability.
When these abilities and awarenesses have been unequivocally attained the spiritual being can almost certainly stay out of trouble or get out of trouble rather smoothly, thus being able to create a generally harmonious personal life.
One of the favorable results of the type of processing which enhances these abilities is that one almost naturally can stay out of any implanted idiocies and stay in power. (Self Determination)
We have specialized in Power Processing and what we call the original Bridge which consisted of Dianetics, Grades, Power, Power Plus, R6 EW and Clearing Course.
Upper Bridge
Fact is that the scientology bridge to total freedom was never completed during LRH’s lifetime. There are however several ‘ascension’ routes available. We deliver original OT I – VII and OT VIII. We also repair any mishaps or failures from COS misapplications.
The highest level of processing – as per the axioms – would be considerations processing and also this is available.
Alternatively there are the new MGT Consciousness Exploration Routes, which are unlike the scientology routes not limited to the seven dynamics, but reach into the eighth dynamic. (Ref. Multi Genius Technology for Consciousness Vol. I, The Self-Explorer’s Handbook.)
Guidance
Supervision and guidance is available on all levels at the MGT Institute and all programs are tailored to the individual.
