Scientology: Milestone One - 23 CD-vel [antikvár]

B y early 1952, Ron s investigations had led him to an altogether new view of humán history. This trail of discovery began in the summer following the release of Dianetics, sparked by auditors' reports that preclears were contacting incidents which could only be explained in terms of pastlives. "The further one investigated," Ron wrote, "the more one came to understand that here, in this creature Homo sapiens, were entirely too many unknowns." Through the ensuing twenty months, Ron carefully investigated those unknowns, corroborating his own research findings with information supplied by auditors in the field. Of paramount importance in this investigation was the development and use of the first E-Meter, enabling him to uncover and map long-hidden incidents, and in turn leading to the startiing discovery that that life force, or théta, had its own time track, independent of a body and extending back millions of years. Moreover, certain incidents on this théta line were common to all cases. In consequence, a new and revolutionary picture of man emerged, not as a limited flesh-and-bone animal, but as an immortal being whose roots stretched back to the very beginning of time. By February 1952, Ron had amassed a huge amount of information concerning Mankind's long and event-filled past. As he said at the time, "Finding out where man came from, finding out where he is going, finding out why he knows what he knows and what he's trying to do is, of course, the greatest adventure that man can have." A Western Union telegram from Ron, received at the Wichita, Kansas, Foundation offices, gave no hint of that adventure to come. "Am giving a series of lectures," it simply stated, "as the Professional Course tapes, beginning Mar 3. This series to cover the whole of Dianetics as it exists to date." But the gathered students knew they were moving into new territory when Ron began the first lecture with six words that would change the world forever: "This is a course in Scientology." Thus began the first course ever given on this brand-new subject. And, in the twenty-two ensuing lectures that comprise this series, Ron not only described Scientology, its vast scope, and where it was headed-he detailed whole track discoveries, exploring in depth one particular incident common to all beings in this galaxy-an incident diabolical enough to extinguish OT abilities and degrade a race of powerful thetans. He called it Facsimile One.
