Contradictions between source material and practice

[Tru2form]

I was under the understanding that one of the old guard was actively compiling a list of contraditions?

It was my experience in the SO that, for whatever reason, people were often incapable of applying standard policy. Everything from "new non-E" to the most central tenets of their Justice system. Shortcomings, real or imagined were harped on ruthlessly, regardless of your personal statistics (the supposed standard of how heavily or lightly "ethics" were applied).

I remember the release of "The Golden Age of Tech" and thinking to myself, "This is not standard Scientology" and it immediately transformed auditing from a fluid series of processes applied by another person, to a robotic application of lists and sequences. It is little more sophisticated than what you have to do to beat Super Mario Bros. in 11 minutes.

Some VERY good auditors remained out there. They remained good because they truly did communicate with their PCs, they truly did understand and remained non-judgmental. Their presence is/was not an un-blinking countenance but a thinking feeling human who was insightful in their own right. THAT is the "x factor" that was/is consistently overlooked when comparing two auditors with the same standard of training but would get varying results.

The re-release of the basic books is just a further indication to me that RTC and CSI are moving further and further away from Hubbards works. Without an author around, all that is left to do is re-package and re-sell the same material. The revisions, of course, are not attributed to Hubbards writing style but to editor errors and that semi-colons really do make the difference between true understanding and failure to understand.

The revision of the RPF program in the late 90's is another example of the explicit alteration of Hubbards works into something just as arbitrary, legally permissible but much more strict and strenuous.

At any rate, I am about to ramble so I'll STFU now.
