That PAB was not included in the "Technical Volumes". However, in 1973 the
Publications Organization in Denmark (old name for New Era Publications
Denmark) published the complete PAB (Professional Auditor's Bulletin)
series - with the exception of No. 27 which was said to have been replaced
by an HCO B dated June 20, 1972. At the time I was in Denmark on my few
months stay in the C-org and where I helped putting the 6 PAB booklets
together.
PAB 31, with an issued date of 23rd July, 1954, and entitled "Duplication",
has a few further viewpoints concerning Christianity. ElRon, under subtitle
"Plan of Auditing", says that recent emphasis has been "on making operating
thetans operate better." He then goes on to say:
"A few operating thetans - scarcity - could lead to trouble. Witness
the chaos resulting from the activities and other-determinism
technology of one operating thetan 2,000 years ago.
"It is despicable and utterly beneath contempt to tell a man he must
repent, that he is evil. Those who talk most about peace on earth and
good-will among men themselves carry forward the seeds of unrest,
war and chaos. Shut up the second Dynamic and make it scarce and
wonder why the divorce rate soars! Make MEST scarce, especially in
its prettier forms and wonder why criminality becomes rife. "We
want peace on earth, therefor everybody must become abject." You
can never have peace with apathy, only with strong men."
So Christ was an operating thetan, alas one not approved of by ElRon. It is
indeed strange how scientology can say they are not at odds with
Christianity when you read the above. Other-determinism technology is
scientologese, meaning to say that Christianitiy believes in God as the
creator of the universe and being the guiding force in it.
After the quote by Steve Whitlach, ElRon goes into his technique of
handling the "cross":
"TECHNIQUE. Have the pc handle crosses and black crosses. Mock up
a cross, mock up his body and nail it on the cross. Then turn the
cross into a man's body, into a black body, into a baby's body. Mock
up a body standing with arms outstretched, mock up another body
nailed to the first one. Anyone got tootchache? This is the
assumption operation - between lives stuff."
I invite some oldtimers to explain this technique to us so we can
understand the purpose of it.
It is well worth to quote in this context another, earlier "church",
defined in the "Administrative Dictionary" and quoted from tape lecture
5410C04 (4th of October 1954, 8th ACC, first lecture, "Introduction:
Organization of Scientology" - does anyone out there have the tape?):
"CHURCH OF AMERICAN SCIENCE: there is a difference between the
Church of American Science and the Church of Scientology. The
Church of American Science is a Christian religion. It believes in
the Holy Bible, Jesus is the Savior of man and everything that's
necessary to be a Christian religion. People who belong to that
church are expected to be Christians. These two churches fit
together. We take somebody in as a Church of American Science. It
doesn't disagree with his babtism or other things like that, and he
could gradually slide over into some sort of better, wider activity
such as the Church of Scientology and a little more wisdom and come
a little more close to optimum. Then if he was good and one of the
people that we would like to have around he would eventually slide
into the HASI. So we have provided stepping stones to Scn with these
organizations."
" ... and everything that's necessary to be a Christian religion ..."??? It
would seem obvious to me that ElRon played with "church" corporations as if
they were just a business outfit. Elron's "Christian" church my view was
nothing but a tool to get people into Scn. Is that the true purpose of a
church? Wouldn't this be sort of like the man from the tobacco company
giving cigarette-like-looking candy bars to kids and then "if the kid was
good and one of the people that we would like to have around" one day give
him a "true candy bar" and tell him not to eat it but smoke it?
On the 18th of December 1953, 9 1/2 months before the above quoted lecture,
the "Church of American Science" was founded by ElRon in Camden, New
Jersey. (Same date that he founded "The Church of Scientology" and "The
Church of Spiritual Engineering".) The articles of incorporation state as
its purpose:
"The purpose for which this corporation is founded is to act as the
Mother Church for the propagation of a religious faith known as
"Scientology". Believing that Man's best Evidence of God is the God
he finds within himself, and trusting with Enduring Faith that the
Author of this Universe intended Life to thrive within it, the Church
of American Science is founded to espouse such evidence of the
Supreme Being and Spirit as may be knowable to Man and by their
use the Church of American Science hopes to bring greater
tranquility to the State and better order and survival to Man upon
this planet."
So there is an "Author" of the universe. Doesn't he have a company on earth
serving him? -> Author Services Inc.? :)
