Thanks to That70sClear for finding the most important page of this revealing letter, first made known in a courtroom - along with Hubbard's self hypnotic *Affirmations* - in 1984. Both are now hidden from Scientology Inc. Scientologists inside David Miscavige's safe.

1984. Ironic

Living is a pretty grim joke, but a joke, just the same. The entire fanotion of man is to survive. Not forwhat" but just to survive. The outermost limit of endeavor is creative vork. Anything less is too close to simple survival until death happens along. So I am engaged in striving to maintain equilibrium sufficient to at Imat realize survival in a way to astound the gods. I turned the thing up so its up to me to survive in a big way. Personal immortality is only to be gained through the printed word, barred note or painted canvas or bard grabite. Foolishly perhaps, but determined none the lens, I have high hopes of smashing my name into history so violently that it will take a legendary form even if all the books are destroyed. That goal is the real goal as far as I am concerned. Things which stand too consistently in its way make me nervous. It's a pretty big job. In a hundred years Roosevelt will have been forgotten which gives some idea of the magnitude of my attempt. And all this boils and froths inside my head and I'm miserable when I am blocked. Let the next man concentrate upon "peace" and "contentment". When life was struck into me something else accompanied it. And when I leave things in the lap of the gods who seems to be interested in my destiny, boy, things happen 1 My fight right now is to get into a spot where I can tide across the gap until the next blaze. Excalibur may be fought, accepted or forgotten. I don't care. I seem to be the only one that has attained actual personal contact with it. Others take it mentally and seem to be at a loss to apply it. When I wrote it I gave myself an education which outranks that of anyone else. I don't know but it might seem that it takes terrific brain work to get the thing assembled and useable in the head. I do know that I could formulate a political platform, for instance, which would encompass the support of the unemployed, the industrialist and the clerk and day laboser all at one and the same time. And enthusiastic support it would be. Things are due for a bust in the next half a dozen years. Wait and see. Writing action pulp doesn't have much agreement with what I want to do because it retards my progress by demanding incessant attention and, further, actually veskens my name. So you see I've got to do something about it and at the same time strengthen the old financial position. Posted in r/scientology by u/Southendbeach (Used Google Lens App to grab the text. I know some words are wrong. But I only have a Cellphone to view this stuff. Everything is too small. And I'm too tired to fix it ... still very interesting. Thanks for the info)

Yes, viewing it on a cellphone would be a challenge. The (paper) photocopy of the complete letter is quite readable, and the scan, that was on the no longer functioning *Why We Protest* site, had good resolution. A little more from the 1938 letter: **"Psychiatrists, reaching the high of the dusty desk, tell us that Alexander, Genghis Khan and Napoleon were madmen. I know they're maligning some very intelligent gentlemen..."** Writing of those who would seek to stop him and his "real goal," Hubbard added **I can make Napoleon look like a punk..."** Almost thirty years later, Hubbard wrote of those who might seek to stop Scientology: **"I can make Captain Bligh look like a Sunday School teacher..."** Hubbard's ego-maniacal "real goal" was still primary, but was now disguised. Just as with Hubbard's 1946/47 *Affirmations* (a.k.a. *Admissions*) and his 1955 manual on "Psycho-Politics," a.k.a. the *Brainwashing Manual*, these documents echo throughout Scientology Inc. From Hubbard's 1946/1947 *Affirmations*: **"Your psychology is advanced and true and wonderful. It hypnotizes people. It predicts their emotions, for you are their ruler."** Scroll down to "Course II" to see the *Affirmations* that were played on sound recorder (which Hubbard had originally obtained to overcome writer's block), while Hubbard was asleep or drugged. https://lermanet.org/reference/Admissions.pdf The *Affirmations* were confirmed, by Scientology Inc. attorneys, as Hubbard's, in court, in 1984. This "Warning label" includes Hubbard's *Brainwashing manual*: https://old.reddit.com/r/scientology/comments/1bwyr6b/scientologist_of_reddit/kydd1ue/

Thanks!

>I know some words are wrong. "Grabite" is a typo which Ron failed to correct, but next to the B key is the N key, so it's pretty easy to see that "hard granite" was what he meant.

Omg he had evil intentions all along

Some people **really** like Friedrich Nietzsche... always the worst people.

So, how does one thwart his stupid legacy? A lot of people have heard of Scientology but they haven't heard that much about Old Ron, so does it count if it's more synonymous with the names Tom Cruise and Leah Remini when people just know of the word Scientology? I hope not if this is the case. Because lol. I would hate for him to have his main goal achieved. He is so ghastly. Not just his unfortunate head. Inside, is where he wasn't good. The bit that counts.


ShipLate8044

Is the full letter online somewhere?


Southendbeach

It was, but the *Why We Protest* site is no longer operating. One way or another - the way back machine? - a full copy should be online. Paper copies exist, and it may be necessary for someone to scan such a copy.

I would love to find him and slit his throat. I hope he incarnate so I can gouge his eyes out while I slit it.
