The most important part of training Scientologists to control their
thoughts is embodied in L. Ron Hubbard's famous "Keeping Scientology
Working" (KSW). This policy letter from Hubbard is the very first
thing that every Scientologist must read and "duplicate" when they do
any Scientology training.

Now, you must understand what "and duplicate" means in
Scientology-speak. This is part of Hubbard's "Study Technology" and
"duplicate", when you're studying Scientology, means "completely agree
with".

In Hubbard's Study Technology, the source material being studied is
always assumed to be 100% correct and 100% workable. If the student
doesn't understand the material or (gasp!) disagrees with the
material, it is the student's fault, never the material's -- and once
the student "handles their study difficulty" they will agree with the
material being studied.

And the very first item on every course that a Scientologist takes is
this "Keeping Scientology Working" issue.

And what does this policy letter say? In it, Hubbard modestly states
that he has created an absolutely perfect and always workable
technology for everything. No one helped him; everything anyone else
has ever done is, from Hubbard's analysis, horrible and destructive;
only Hubbard's solutions are good; if you apply Hubbard's technology
and it doesn't work, it's your fault, you did something wrong; and (in
my opinion the most clever assertion), it is the very evil people who
disagree with Hubbard and his technology.

And all Scientologists, as the very first order of business, must
completely agree with these concepts before they can get on with any
other studying.

From that point on, the Scientologist's ability to control their
thoughts in the proper Scientology manner is quite simple.

If Hubbard said it: It is true.

If evidence disagrees with what Hubbard said: The evidence is false.

If someone disagrees with Hubbard: They are evil.

If someone applies Hubbard's technology and nothing happens, or
something bad happens: It's their fault, not Hubbard's.

If someone doesn't get wonderful results from Scientology: They are
one of the Evil People.

And so on.

The "Keeping Scientology Working" policy letter has installed these
fixed ideas. Once these "facts" have been installed in a
Scientologist, all their perceptions, all their logic, all their
conclusions must be warped around to fit into these "facts". Actual,
independent thought is no longer possible.

The thought control works like this:

* "Gee, this thing Ron said just doesn't make sense!" (Thought
Control: You must have a study problem, it's all your fault. Keep
studying it until you agree with it.)
* "I did exactly what Ron said, but nothing happened!" (Thought
Control: It's your fault, you did something wrong, go back and restudy
the material.)
* "I got some processing, but I don't feel any better." (Thought
Control: Be quiet! Only evil people fail to get gains from Scientology!)
* "I don't really like this part of Scientology!" (Thought
Control: Shut up! Shut up! That means you're one of the Evil People!
You do like it, you can't be evil!)

This is the real reason that "Keeping Scientology Working" is the
first thing studied and why it must be agreed to before going on. From
that point on, good Scientologists never criticize L. Ron Hubbard or
David Miscavige or Scientology, no matter what they see, no matter
what happens. To do so would mean that they are EVIL! Any failure, any
disagreement, any problems in Scientology are always and only their fault.

Now, Scientologists believe that the reason "KSW" is first in every
course is to ensure that Hubbard's technology remains pure and to
insist that every Scientologist defend it. Well, if that were true,
then why has every single bit of Hubbard's technology been altered
since his death? Nothing of Hubbard's remains exactly as he left it.
Nothing. No, nobody is using "KSW" to defend and protect Hubbard's
technology. Obviously, that isn't its purpose.

Even after someone has left Scientology, they often retain this fixed
idea that any and all failures were their fault and that they are
evil. But most finally do recover their ability to see what is really
there, evaluate what is really true and to know who and what is evil
and why.

Hubbard never provided any proof that he was "always right". He never
provided any proof that his technology was "100% workable". He never
provided any evidence that "all who disagree with him are evil". None.
Not ever. He just said it was so and insisted that anyone who
questioned him, doubted him or disagreed with him was evil and must be
punished.

If the person gets through "Keeping Scientology Working", and
"duplicates" (agrees with) it, they have truly mastered their advanced
thought control skills.

Now they are a full-fledged Scientologist.

And now let the punishment commence.

This Church of Scientology approved punishment (child abuse) was
recorded during September 1988 at the Mace/Kingsley ranch school on W.
Ave R8 in Palmdale, California by another inmate. The voices belong to
Wally Hanks, Mike Miller, and of course, Marco, the child being
physically assaulted. The last known record of Marco was in
Clearwater, Florida (where the Church of Scientology has it
headquarters). Marco may have joined the Sea Org or returned to his
native Mexico.
