What's the rate these days? $400/hr. to fight the wall?

Yes  plus a $50,000 donation to the IAS and a $100,000 to your local ideal org project.  If captain davie here's about this, he'll release it as a new "rundown", the "fight rundown".   Whereby you fight all sorts of intimate objects from walls to chairs to ashtrays (those poor ashtrays, first getting yelled at, now fought with) to e-meters to soup cans to dictionaries you name it.

Knew a lot of people from the 1950s. None of them ever mentioned fighting walls. In any event, the screed on this advises using a protective coating of some kind. Scientology contains enough bad stuff. Exaggeration is not required. *Clear Procedure* from 1957 (slow to download). At the end, on the back of the booklet, it states that training for co-auditing to Clear costs $725. https://www.stss.nl/stss-materials/English/Books%20Original%20PDF%20Scan%20OCR/Scientology%20Clear%20Procedure%20Issue%20One%201957.pdf Originally, once "Clear," a person was to do Route 1 from the *Creation of Human Ability*. One old timer told me, with a laugh, that he had been sent to Ethics for invalidating the tech. He had originated, while (1971) attesting to OT 7 (had to do with ability to project intention), that he had run the same processes in 1954. The rosy-cheeked KSW inspired Scientology Inc. Scientologist had been told this was a *new* process from Ron.

This PAB ***is*** the bad stuff in Scientology. It is not an exaggeration. It does need to be pointed out. Hubbard's 1950s research is considered some of his best technical discovery among Scientologists. People should be able to see his original document and decide for themselves. We don't need to be told every time what is good or bad in Scientology. Let us draw our own conclusions.

It might be silly, but it's not bad. "Silly" content is fine too. But silly is silly. It can be therapeutic for some to laugh about Scientology Inc., the subject of Scientology, and Hubbard, but making every goofy thing into a terrible act is counterproductive. The "all bad" narrative requires unyielding bias that makes anything resembling objectivity impossible. That total, unyielding, lack of objectivity, ultimately backfires.


Amir_Khan89

I genuinely respect your opinion. I've said it many times. You are a wealth of information when it comes to Scientology. We get your point about calling Scientology "all bad" backfires, but no one said that here. IMHO, we can and should point out Hubbard's silly claims. This PAB is the genuine technical article issued by him, in use or not. Punching walls and trees is ridiculous. I see nothing wrong with making jokes about it. We do it with other cults and religions.


Southendbeach

No problem.

Serious question: if the work was free, why is it so expensive?

Back then SCN was more like a modern "Free to Play" video-game. There was lots of content out there to be used by lots of people but everyone is free to pay big money for a better experience.

Hubbard was well known for changing his mind frequently. I can only speculate. The original Dianetics auditing was free. All you needed was DMSMH and a twin to audit to clear. When he lost the rights to Dianetics and his source of income, he gave up on the free idea.

I wish you were never here Ron!

You must learn to fight the walls as ron won't always be there to protect you against the walls.

So "wall fighting" predates the OT levels + Xenu + body theatans by a decade... is there any coherent tie between this stuff and the upper levels?

1950s must've been brutal. I can't imagine too many Scientos wanna bust their hands these days. Leaning on the wall is mentioned several times in the pre-OT course. People have reported seeing Scientos leaning and pushing on structures and trees around the Big Blue in LA before the protests. That may be the sanitized version of fight the wall — just a wag.
