But let's look at it from a completely first dynamic perspective.&lt;div&gt;Let's say all you really want is to go up the Bridge, make it to Clear and be happy.  If you find it at all hard because you still have life's barriers, problems and counter-effort against what you are trying to accomplish--which is the way it actually is--you'll find that having an Ideal Org right in the neighborhood changes all that.  Imagine having 20 or 30 auditors all there, waiting to take you in session.  Imagine a team of 100 or 200 staff at your service to assist you in making it.  Imagine going to an event where there are 1000 people all working for the same goal and you are now part of a powerful local force that can make it happen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The bottom line is that everything you are trying to handle, every barrier you run into, every stop along the way, is totally handled by having an Ideal Org right here in Kansas City.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So hop aboard, be part of the movement, put your shoulder to the wheel, because this train is going down those tracks and the last stop is the Ideal Org!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/h4bs5ch7vv.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2773390622021421616-8541591791012004650?l=idealorgkc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/feeds/8541591791012004650/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2773390622021421616&amp;postID=8541591791012004650' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/8541591791012004650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/8541591791012004650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/2010/12/so-you-want-ideal-org.html' title='So You Want an Ideal Org'/><author><name>Alex Carr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14506149507073910303</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773390622021421616.post-2269275629194045976</id><published>2010-12-24T22:44:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2010-12-24T22:59:04.018-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LRH'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='history'/><title type='text'>Christmas and LRH</title><content type='html'>I got another briefing about LRH and what he was doing at Christmas time.&lt;div&gt;In 1980 he was studying "the man on the street, newspapers and magazines to pinpoint society's precise condition.  And he exemplified how every Scientologist should apply the tech every moment of the day.  He audited 6 sessions daily, and in between he wrote, alternating his auditing and writing.  And of course he still found time to give assists to people he encountered in the community when he was out on the beach jogging.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"It was at this time that LRH provided two gifts to mankind--the Success Through Communication Course, and The Way to Happiness, which he called &lt;b&gt;"gentle oil spread upon the raging sea."&lt;/b&gt;  He says that if all Scientologists applied just these two tools alone--giving others the ability to communicate and a way to happiness--they could change this whole civilization in every land.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"And so on December 25th, 1980, LRH sat down to a traditional Christmas dinner of turkey with all the trimmings, and then went to his desk and wrote the following.  It is as applicable today as it was then:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;"This is a pretty barbaric society.  We have new tech.  We know what we are doing.  And we are, little by little and person by person, changing this society for the better.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Somebody used to keep a record of the things in Scientology that were being picked up by the society at large and used.  Most of the time they don't give credit.  But the items exist.  In the past thirty years it has become an impressive list.  Currently even the psychologists are busy reporting coming back to life after being dead.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;"We are having an effect upon the societies of the world.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;"And that's why I admire you.  You are in there pitching, doing your jobs.  I know it is sometimes rough,  I feel for you.  But above all, in the midst of a failing society, you are making your weight felt.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;"I am very glad that you are there.  I am glad you are my friend.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Good luck in this year that is coming.  It is a year that is in your hands.  I have every confidence you will do well in it.  The future&lt;i&gt; is&lt;/i&gt; ours."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/h4bs5ch7vv.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2773390622021421616-2269275629194045976?l=idealorgkc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/feeds/2269275629194045976/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2773390622021421616&amp;postID=2269275629194045976' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/2269275629194045976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/2269275629194045976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-and-lrh.html' title='Christmas and LRH'/><author><name>Alex Carr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14506149507073910303</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773390622021421616.post-2278645263529473290</id><published>2010-12-19T08:02:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2010-12-19T08:11:40.659-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion and philosophy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LRH'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><title type='text'>Christmas Peace</title><content type='html'>Got a briefing with an interesting quote from LRH, from a lecture in October 1954 called Axioms of Dianetics.&lt;div&gt;"Only when some violent politician can break down this knowledge that we all have amongst ourselves that we are all human beings...can you get anybody to fire a gun.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"All wars have to start with the assumption that is given to the basic populace that they are not fighting the human race.  All all wars stop when they realize at length that they're fighting the human race.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"It's curious, isn't it?  Their fourth dynamics come to life.  Do you know that they had the awfullest time trying to keep World War I going?  One particular Christmas they started singing the same hymns on both sides of no man's land, you know.  And the next thing you know, why, people were walking around in no man's land.  The next thing you know there wasn't a machine gun going for hundreds of miles.  And the war almost stopped."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was then pointed out that they trusted each other for a while, as LRH said, "On the day when we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just thought I'd share....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/h4bs5ch7vv.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2773390622021421616-2278645263529473290?l=idealorgkc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/feeds/2278645263529473290/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2773390622021421616&amp;postID=2278645263529473290' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/2278645263529473290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/2278645263529473290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-peace.html' title='Christmas Peace'/><author><name>Alex Carr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14506149507073910303</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773390622021421616.post-9001091541989015459</id><published>2010-12-01T23:41:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2010-12-01T23:46:45.482-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='event'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ot committee'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ideal org'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='activities'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photos'/><title type='text'>Crowd Reaction</title><content type='html'>Gilligan is working the crowd:&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OQqG3j-29Vk/TPcygJLkUFI/AAAAAAAAAxw/dnWOtSQv8LM/s1600/IMG_0646.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Gilligan's Ideal Org:  Mrs. Howell looks worried, Mary Ann seems concerned, but the Professor stands calmly in the background, knowing we'll make our Ideal Org.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OQqG3j-29Vk/TO83b4Y9ZyI/AAAAAAAAAxI/bSj36nnzsQA/s400/IMG_0612.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543710618449438498" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/h4bs5ch7vv.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2773390622021421616-7242633365842266277?l=idealorgkc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/feeds/7242633365842266277/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2773390622021421616&amp;postID=7242633365842266277' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/7242633365842266277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/7242633365842266277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/2010/11/thanksgiving-and-gilligan.html' title='Thanksgiving and Gilligan'/><author><name>Alex Carr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14506149507073910303</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OQqG3j-29Vk/TO83b4Y9ZyI/AAAAAAAAAxI/bSj36nnzsQA/s72-c/IMG_0612.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773390622021421616.post-3486694593018759646</id><published>2010-11-21T23:12:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2010-11-21T23:16:31.207-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='event'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ot committee'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ideal org'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='activities'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photos'/><title type='text'>More Gilligan's Island</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;So here's the latest.

My excitement about Dianetics has been revitalized supervising these new public.  The wins they are having, even just reading the book and understanding what has been ruining their lives, has rehabilitated my own wins with Dianetics.  I can see, with a fresh look, the power of discovery in knowing the source of one's illness and irrationality.  And I am excited.  Excited to see the realizations and wins of those new to Dianetics.  Excited to be involved with Dianetics in helping people become truly happy.  Excited to see the new world that awaits us, a world without war, insanity or crime.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I can hardly wait until the auditing begins, when those learning to audit gain the reality of what can be done about the mind!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Fireworks are about to happen!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/h4bs5ch7vv.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2773390622021421616-2433723364293329859?l=idealorgkc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/feeds/2433723364293329859/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2773390622021421616&amp;postID=2433723364293329859' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/2433723364293329859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/2433723364293329859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/2010/09/dianetics-anew.html' title='Dianetics Anew'/><author><name>Alex Carr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14506149507073910303</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773390622021421616.post-3026357897627822923</id><published>2010-09-21T22:52:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-21T22:55:08.926-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='courses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trainees'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><title type='text'>Life Improvement</title><content type='html'>Just had to jot a quick note about the new Life Improvement Courses.

Soon after I became very ill with a serious lung cancer that had me on oxygen and I aged 10-15 years in a very short time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"When the Basics and Congresses were released, the Detroit Org called me and encouraged us to get these materials as the data would help.  We purchased all Basics and Congresses and immediately started studying them.  My husband completed listening to all Congresses and I was making steady progress with the Basics Extension Course.  Our goal was to do whatever was necessary to get back on The Bridge.  My stable datum that I was thinking with was "theta is senior to MEST".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Since I couldn't drive long distances, a friend dropped me off at a motel close to the org so that I could get onto an assist program in between sessions until my folders were back from Flag with a detailed program including flattening my Objectives from 20 years ago.  A huge ridge blew and I looked 10 years younger and attested to them on Ron's birthday.  My auditor at the org continued to audit me on NED and I've had remarkable wins.  Floating TAs occurred on more than one occasion, my appearance changed, I'm walking up stairs with minimal effort and I drive myself to Detroit for two weeks every month for auditing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"The Basics are powerful and do revitalize.

This totals over 1000 additional lectures and completes the task of getting the full chronological materials available for everyone!&lt;div&gt;Many are already starting on study of these and here is a win from one of those students:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"I have completed the First International Congress of Dianeticists and Scientologists.  I am also on the second binder of lectures on the 1st American Advanced Clinical Course.  First off, let me put in a quick comment about the materials themselves.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"When the boxes arrived at my house, I had my first cognition: man has been looking for the answers of the universe for thousands of years, and here they are in my living room.  It was quite a calming realization.  Next time someone asks where the answers are, I'll say, "Oh, I have them in my living room."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"In the International Congress LRH lays out the latest discoveries for the public, and does a wonderful job getting you to have a taste of the material, but believe me--although it is complete--it is just a taste.  The Advanced Clinical Course is where it happens.  The wins so far are phenomenal.  For those who have completed the Basics, let me give you a stable datum:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"This is not the Basics.  This is another stratosphere.  But don't be scared.  It is not a stratosphere of complexity--it is a stratosphere of simplicity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"One win, several days ago I saw a Scientologist friend walking with a cane and limping in tremendous pain.  His body is in the 70's.  I asked him if I could give him a session.  He declined, saying his wife was giving him assists and taking him to the doctor, and getting his medications.  I let it go by.  I read that LRH with this material could handle a cripple in a few minutes.  Again, I needed some mass.  So, I called my friend and asked if I could give him a session.  Once again he declined.  Well, I figured that I hadn't gotten my point across so I said, "when you want to blow the thing and get rid of the cane--let me know.  I mean when you want to blow it!"  He seemed quite taken aback and then said, "I want to blow it now, this pain is killing me.  Come on over."  As promised, I gave him a quick session and the thing blew to VGIs.  Cane gone, walking, talking and cognitions galore.  He was in shock, "I'm fine, it's better, it's fine, and I'm walking.  Maybe you can see me tomorrow."  "No problem," I said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Here is the point--from the course, I knew 100% what to do and what was going to happen.  The pc said exactly what LRH said the pc would say and did exactly what LRH said he would do.  That is a 1st ACC material in action.  I didn't have a meter, just helped him to get comfortable for the session and took care of business.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"You want to know what all this release is about -- that's what it is about: miracles.  Thank you to RTC for restoring the materials so that we now have our religion.  Thank you to LRH for laying out the tech for us.    P.D.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;More to come......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/h4bs5ch7vv.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2773390622021421616-1681586129603237330?l=idealorgkc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/feeds/1681586129603237330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2773390622021421616&amp;postID=1681586129603237330' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/1681586129603237330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/1681586129603237330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/2010/01/advanced-clinical-courses-released.html' title='Advanced Clinical Courses Released'/><author><name>Alex Carr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14506149507073910303</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773390622021421616.post-1779357852109121739</id><published>2010-01-06T00:31:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-01-06T00:32:19.517-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion and philosophy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LRH'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='staff'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clear'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom'/><title type='text'>Incredible Dianetics Win</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Here's an incredible Dianetics win, just in:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; When I was a kid, my brother was who I always looked up to.  He was extremely intelligent, he had genius IQ, but never bragged about it.  He was very friendly and cared about everyone.  On top of that, he was good looking and popular.  We all knew he was going to succeed when he grew up.  He was the type that would do great things, that is, until he went to war in Desert Storm.  None of us knew exactly what happened to him after that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; But after the family's pained waiting and worrying about him ever coming back, when he finally did come home, he was never again the carefree brother I knew.  He went to the University of Washington and got plenty of degrees, from the outside you could say he was “successful”, but that spark of life had gone from his eyes.  He was depressed and got worse year by year, which greatly saddened me.  Despite our efforts, he never spoke about it and after a while, we stopped asking.  It was this way for years and years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; Then, right before Christmas, he and his daughter moved in with me.  He was a mess, going through a divorce, money was tough and you could tell his life was nothing like he wanted it to be.  I had tried to disseminate to him a long time ago but he was never interested or never found the time, etc...., but this time I knew I had to at least try again.  I told him about Dianetics and showed him the dvd.  He was very skeptical but he agreed to at least give it a try.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; He signed up for the Dianetics Seminar and I remember the first day he went in session.  He contacted an incident right away but kept getting interrupted by a strange ringing sound that he kept hearing in the room.  When he noticed that no one else was hearing this besides him, he realized that this was the sound in his engram from an incident when he had a grenade concussion in the war.  He had been badly injured from it, but despite this, he had to continue fighting as there was no time to stop in the middle of the combat.  They gave him drugs to “keep him going” which had resulted in a near two week engram with tons of aberrative commands in between.  He ran it all out right there and the ringing stopped completely along with a huge burden which seemed to have been lifted from him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; He was so blown away that he wanted to go in right away the next day.  This time he contacted a surgery that he had.  He was having a really hard time on this one and kept getting tired until he realized that he was hearing the words “wake up, wake up” over and over in his head.  He realized that this was the phrase that the doctor kept saying to him, it seemed like he had run it out but then the incident did not lift!  No new data was coming up until....he realized that there was an earlier similar incident and despite the fact that he never believed in “past life stuff” before, he suddenly knew without a single doubt that he had lived before, recalling with exact detail the incident where someone was telling him hysterically to “wake up” when he never did.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; We were crying and laughing together when he told me all of this.  It all made sense as when he was a kid, I would try to wake him up and he would get very upset, but that had all gone away.  Now he is totally himself again, up-tone and excited about life, like he was when he was younger!  Immediately after this he pulled in an awesome job making tons of money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; Just the other day he came up to me and said he is going to go Clear and that even though he got this new job, he decided he wants to be a professional Dianetics Auditor and join staff!  Dianetics got my brother on the Bridge and after so long trying to help him, he is now a Scientologist.  What a miracle for Christmas, LRH was right, we hold the true spirit of Christmas, giving to our fellow man and saving beings!  Thank you COB for getting the tech pure so he could have these wins!  And thank you so much LRH for giving me my brother back!

We're making headway but we're not ready yet.  But Dallas is!!&lt;br /&gt;The Grand Opening of the new Dallas Ideal Org is next weekend and people are going to be attending from miles around.  The event is going to be quite spectacular as I hear the new Dallas Org is a new generation of Ideal Org with goodies that none of the earlier ones have.&lt;br /&gt;So if you get the chance, stop by the new Dallas Org.&lt;br /&gt;Closer to home, we are still building our own Ideal Org and we definitely want you to be a part of the whole evolution.  We have openings for staff, seats available in the course rooms for more students and a few slots available with an auditor.  For my money, I'd say get on course because the Basics is where it's at and is what is producing the biggest advance in case gain ever!  More and more people are doing their Basics and sharing in the wins every week.  So stop by your local Ideal Org in the making and join in the excitement!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/h4bs5ch7vv.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2773390622021421616-7517706964319466680?l=idealorgkc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/feeds/7517706964319466680/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2773390622021421616&amp;postID=7517706964319466680' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/7517706964319466680'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/7517706964319466680'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/2009/04/ideal-org-opening.html' title='Ideal Org Opening'/><author><name>Alex Carr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14506149507073910303</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OQqG3j-29Vk/SdggVP1r0YI/AAAAAAAAAuU/QL3J00QX6XU/s72-c/we+25+sep+08+kathy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773390622021421616.post-4555130181961585941</id><published>2009-02-20T21:29:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-20T21:34:50.660-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kids'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='graduation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='event'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ideal org'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='activities'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='staff'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='history'/><title type='text'>Ideal Org Activitites</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OQqG3j-29Vk/SZ91bk9yLMI/AAAAAAAAAuM/jfZr70zkdbk/s1600-h/we+25+sep+08+chelsi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 305px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OQqG3j-29Vk/SZ91bk9yLMI/AAAAAAAAAuM/jfZr70zkdbk/s400/we+25+sep+08+chelsi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305088002705468610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Just to keep you up-to-date, we have the KC Ideal Org Idol fund-raiser coming up next week---talent galore, so you won't want to miss it.

His name was Andy Bagley and he worked in our org for 5 years as the Director of Special Affairs.  Well, having been around a long time, Andy had lots of stories to tell.  And one of the things he told me was "the first 20 years are the hardest!"  This threw me because I was only on staff about 12 years at the time and all I could think of was "8 more years till it gets easier?!"  In 1994, Andy went to Flag and was awarded a lifetime achievement award for 35 years as a staff member.&lt;br /&gt;I did find his words to be true, however, and after I hit the 20 year mark, without really noticing it, I did find that it was easier.  Of course getting more training and auditing helped, I'm sure, but also with that much experience, you really do settle in to a level of skill and competence and being on staff becomes easier.  Not to say it's all a cake-walk, not by a long shot!  But after a while, you just know that you can weather anything and it'll all come out well in the end.&lt;br /&gt;And, of course, my main inspiration comes from LRH himself.  Everything I've studied from LRH has been inspiring but there was one letter in particular that I still have with me, framed, in my office.  Old timers will tell you that we used to write to LRH after every event or any other time we got the urge.  I had corresponded with LRH many times, but there was one letter in particular where I was really having a rough time of it on staff and didn't see how things could ever get better and I let Ron know how hard a time I was having.  Ron wrote back and his answer was so perfect that not only did it inspire me then and there to keep on, it has inspired me for years since.  He told me two things in particular that had a lot of impact.  The first, he said, "I do apply the datum that serious is solidity, which you can find in 8-8008 and the PDC."  And the other thing he told me, that has carried me through some of the toughest of times: "The greatest test of a thetan is not only making things go right, but carrying on after they haven't."&lt;br /&gt;And with that in mind, 29 years is a drop in the bucket and I will keep working here until we have an Ideal Org in Kansas City, and then we'll take it to Saint Hill Size and then....who knows, we'll raise the bar even higher!&lt;br /&gt;Being on staff &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;isn't&lt;/span&gt; always easy, but it's always needed.  And there's no higher purpose or activity you can be part of, really (except, of course, the Sea Org).  Speaking of which, go into your local org and see the Maiden Voyage #2 event and you'll see exactly what I mean!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/h4bs5ch7vv.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2773390622021421616-3474087736641507227?l=idealorgkc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/feeds/3474087736641507227/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2773390622021421616&amp;postID=3474087736641507227' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/3474087736641507227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/3474087736641507227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/2008/07/being-on-staff.html' title='Being on Staff'/><author><name>Alex Carr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14506149507073910303</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773390622021421616.post-9222080816134516847</id><published>2008-07-26T23:21:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-26T23:34:34.572-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='event'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion and philosophy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom'/><title type='text'>THANK YOU!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;At the end of tonight's event, the Executive Director presented me with a special award for my years of service at the Kansas City Org.  I was not expecting anything and so was completely surprised.  What she presented was my own subscription to the Golden Age book package, delivering 80 books to my door over the next 6 years!  I love to read and so this was a marvelous gift and surprise!&lt;br /&gt;So I want to say thank you.  First, thank you to everyone who chipped in to get the book subscription.  I am a big fan of LRH's fiction and this was wonderful!  I love it!&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, I want to thank &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;everyone&lt;/span&gt;.  I've been on staff for 29 years at the Kansas City Org and I want to thank you for allowing me to serve you.  In &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Scientology 8-8008&lt;/span&gt;, LRH talks about doing without having, in other words, doing without getting some sort of payment or return benefit, and he makes the point that when one &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;does &lt;/span&gt;without &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;having&lt;/span&gt;, it increases his &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;being&lt;/span&gt;.  So for all my years of service, I have to thank &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;you &lt;/span&gt;because it has allowed me to achieve more beingness.  I'm happy for your gains, and I thank you for the gains you gave me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/h4bs5ch7vv.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2773390622021421616-9222080816134516847?l=idealorgkc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/feeds/9222080816134516847/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2773390622021421616&amp;postID=9222080816134516847' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/9222080816134516847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/9222080816134516847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/2008/07/thank-you.html' title='THANK YOU!'/><author><name>Alex Carr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14506149507073910303</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773390622021421616.post-660638329252733022</id><published>2008-07-26T23:11:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-26T23:21:10.132-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kids'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='event'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ot committee'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='activities'/><title type='text'>Stories from the Golden Age of Fiction</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Well, tonight was "Fiction Night" and staff and public alike arrived dressed as characters from fiction novels.

I had gotten up to the Milestone One lectures about the time the Basics came out.  While I had success in all my study, Milestone one seemed a bit of a challenge.&lt;br /&gt;    That has all changed.  Studying the Basics all in chronological order has been the perfect gradient and now, Milestone One is awesome!  I got through the first lecture and it &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;blew me away&lt;/span&gt;!  There really is a big secret under this big lid: no one really wants to find out and there are certainly those who don't want you to know.  But it is right there in the Milestone One lectures!&lt;br /&gt;    I'm eagerly looking forward to the rest.  It's like reading a good book and you get to the end of one chapter and you are so glued to the plot, you can't put the book down and need to read on.  Well, that's Milestone One and I'm going on to my next "chapter".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    By the way, if you haven't checked out &lt;a href="http://www.events.scientology.org/events/invite.html?utm_source=3JulyVideoEmailer&amp;amp;utm_medium=email&amp;amp;utm_campaign=VideoEmail"&gt;this website&lt;/a&gt;, do so now.

Yesterday I was reading in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Handbook for Preclears&lt;/span&gt; and the questions in the book triggered an old memory from 4th grade.  I recalled what were, to my 4th grade perceptions, the coolest kid in the class.  Specifically, Steve.  Steve was a little bit slow as a student, but he was cool and he was the only 4th grader that had a girlfriend-Kim.  Kim happened to be the cutest girl in the class which made Steve that much cooler.  Next thing I know, my left arm started to hurt.  Instantly I got a picture of Steve having a broken arm.  Doing some cool stunt, he had broken his arm.  Because he couldn't write, he had to have his assignments written by another student for him.  Kim did the honors.  All very cool (I thought).  Next thing I know, I'm going out playing and I break my arm!&lt;br /&gt;None of this was connected in my mind back in 4th grade, but reading &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Handbook for Preclears&lt;/span&gt;, it all came to the forefront of my mind, connected up and fell apart.  The pain in my arm blew and I sat in the courserooom reading the rest of the book with a big grin on my face.&lt;br /&gt;Interesting how one's own illnesses and ailments come from one's own postulates.&lt;br /&gt;Just a little tidbit from &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Handbook for Preclears&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/h4bs5ch7vv.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2773390622021421616-1914126012485827235?l=idealorgkc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/feeds/1914126012485827235/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2773390622021421616&amp;postID=1914126012485827235' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/1914126012485827235'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2773390622021421616/posts/default/1914126012485827235'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idealorgkc.blogspot.com/2008/05/great-day-on-handbook-for-preclears.html' title='Great Day on Handbook for Preclears'/><author><name>Alex Carr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14506149507073910303</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773390622021421616.post-1166056739214135784</id><published>2008-05-16T22:41:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-05-16T22:45:13.994-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='event'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion and philosophy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Basics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom'/><title type='text'>Thought, Emotion and Effort</title><content type='html'>I finished the Advanced Procedure and Axioms, Thought, Emotion and Effort Course this past week.

I could go on for hours and somehow miss in communicating the importance, impact, causes, effects and "wow" of the Basics.&lt;br /&gt;The easiest way for someone to actually get a good idea is to watch the Golden Age of Knowledge for Eternity video.  This is available from any Church of Scientology at no charge.  It's three hours long but worth every minute if you really want to be briefed about the Basics.&lt;br /&gt;Then, the only thing to do, really, is begin studying the Basics.  Chronologically.  That's the thing that I see has made the biggest difference for me.&lt;br /&gt;Studying the data in sequence, step by step along the research trail, has given me more understanding than ever before.  Most of the books I've read several times before and, obviously, getting the materials in their correct form has made a difference.  But following it in sequence has pieced together the technology in a way I had never conceived before.  Things that I had considered completely disrelated are now connected and simply a part of the research line, flowing one step to the next.  And having more relevance than I thought possible.&lt;br /&gt;Tell you what.  Do this: come to the briefing next Saturday, April 19th, and get the hot skinny on what's happening on this planet (what they won't tell you on CNN!).  Then, pick up a copy of the Golden Age of Knowledge for Eternity DVD.  Watch it, then get onto your Basics.
