Another Day in Jail

Another Day in Jail

He was a young man, 21 years old. I could tell he was really trying to learn and he wanted to get better but the sadness and the weight of his troubles clouded present time so darkly that he had trouble seeing any goodness in his life. After the seminar he came up and thanked me for coming. I asked him what he had done that got him into trouble and he tearfully told me about pushing his wife. Now he was in jail. It wasn’t fair; he was sorry, he wanted to make something good out of his life. He didn’t want to be like his parents.

The last time he saw his dad the boy had gotten into trouble for letting the air out of his dad’s tires on the car. Seems like a bad thing for him to have done, but from the viewpoint of a kid it was a good way to stop his dad from going to the drug dealer for his next heroin fix. His dad made it to the dealer anyway and consequently also made it back into jail. His mom is in jail now too. The kid didn’t want to be like that and now here he is. Where is any hope for a decent life?

My passion is to help and to give people something that will help. I had the inmates doing examples and simple drills about fulfilling their obligations. They were into it; it was a noisy active course room where they were having fun learning something new. About ten minutes before I was done an Officer from the jail motioned from the back that he needed to say something. I let him interrupt.

He announced that the nurse was here to give the inmates their medications.

What is this? I couldn’t believe it. About half of the group of 60 men went out of the room like little kids getting an ice cream treat and stood in line while the nurse dispensed their medications. They want to believe that the meds will help them. While they were out I applauded the remaining men for taking care of themselves without medications. A few minutes later the others returned; quiet, calm, subdued, and numbed. How can they learn if they are drugged while studying? How can a person take charge of his life if he is in a drug haze? Where is help for a decent life?

There is hope. There is help. Something can be done about it.

Criminon is that hope. It offers the inmates a chance to sort out their life using the common sense guide laid out in a booklet by L. Ron Hubbard called THE WAY TO HAPPINESS. It contains powerful lessons that can help anyone improve their life.

My friend who runs the rehabilitation program in the jail met me after the seminar to get 100 applications to sign up the inmates for the course. There is hope. There is help. And there are many good people working to make things better.

Un altro giorno in prigione

Era un uomo giovane, 21 anni. Vedevo che davvero stava cercando di imparare e che voleva migliorare, ma la tristezza e il peso dei suoi problemi rendevano il presente così cupo che aveva difficoltà a riconoscere la bontà nella sua vita. Dopo il seminario si avvicinò e mi ringraziò per essere venuta. Gli chiesi cosa avesse fatto per mettersi nei guai e tra le lacrime mi disse di aver spintonato sua moglie. Ora era in prigione. Non era giusto; gli dispiaceva, voleva fare qualcosa di buono nella sua vita. Non voleva essere come i suoi genitori.
L’ultima volta che vide suo padre il ragazzo si era messo nei guai per aver sgonfiato i pneumatici della macchina di suo padre. Sembra una brutta cosa, ma dal punto di vista del ragazzo era un buon modo per fermare suo padre dall’andare dallo spacciatore per la sua prossima dose di eroina. Suo padre andò comunque dallo spacciatore e successivamente tornò anche in carcere. Anche sua madre ora era in prigione. Il ragazzo non voleva essere come loro, ed eccolo qui. Dov’è la speranza di una vita decente?
La mia passione è quella di aiutare e dare alla gente qualcosa che li aiuterà. Feci fare ai detenuti degli esempi e dei semplici esercizi sull’adempimento dei loro obblighi. Lo stavano proprio facendo; era un’aula chiassosa e attiva in cui si stavano divertendo e imparavano qualcosa di nuovo dal corso. Circa dieci minuti prima che finissi un Ufficiale del carcere fece cenno dal retro che doveva dire qualcosa. Lo lasciai interrompere.
Annunciò che l’infermiera era lì per dare ai detenuti i loro farmaci.
Cos’era questo? Non riuscivo a crederci. Circa metà di quel gruppo di 60 uomini uscirono dalla stanza come dei ragazzini che andassero a prendere un gelato e si misero in fila mentre l’infermiera dispensava loro i medicinali. Vogliono credere che quei farmaci li aiuteranno. Mentre loro erano fuori, lodai quelli rimasti nell’aula per farcela da soli senza farmaci. Pochi minuti dopo gli altri tornarono, tranquilli, calmi, sommessi e storditi. Come possono imparare se sono drogati mentre studiano? Come può una persona prendersi responsabilità della sua vita se è annebbiato dalla droga? Dov’è l’aiuto per una vita decente?
La speranza c’è, l’aiuto c’è, si può fare qualcosa a riguardo.
Criminon è quella speranza. Offre ai detenuti la possibilità di mettere ordine nella loro vita utilizzando la guida basata sul buonsenso contenuta in un libro chiamato La via della felicità, di L. Ron Hubbard. Il libro contiene una lezione potente che può aiutare chiunque a migliorare la propria vita.
Il mio amico che dirige il programma di riabilitazione in prigione mi incontrò dopo il seminario per far firmare 100 domande ai detenuti per il corso. La speranza c’è. L’aiuto c’è. E ci sono molte brave persone che lavorano per migliorare le cose.

A very nice R-factor for a baby

Ron Says…

“But once in a while I will get down on my knees to a little old three year old and I’ll say, ‘Hey, what did you do in your last life, bud?’ And he’ll look at me … ‘Who wants to know?’ And by the time they’re four it’s usually been beaten out of them so they can forget with glorious abandon. But take any three, four months old baby, and if you refuse to credit their noncommunication with you, you can go into easy communication with.

“The funniest thing I ever saw was a two months old baby that couldn’t understand a word of anything, didn’t pay any attention to anything or anybody, but every time you picked this little baby up and said, ‘Well, I think we’ll keep you around,’ the baby would say, ‘Sigh!’ — never sighed otherwise.

“And you can do that to almost any kid—pick them up and say, ‘Well, here’s a good one. Think we’ll keep him around. We need him.”

L. Ron Hubbard

from The Unification Congress lecture
“Communication and Problems”

Why Should We Audit Kids?

Welcome to the next installment of the letter from the C/S. My name is Greg Smith, new OT VIII, Class VI Auditor, Grad V C/S, Snr C/S of Mace Kingsley Family Center and as of last week, full Basics Books & Lectures Completion! Yes, thank you, it was incredible, everyone has to do it as soon as possible.

This issue has a very interesting and vital topic. It is “Why should we audit kids?”

Right off the bat, some LRH on the subject:

“Well one of the solutions to this has to do with the fact that if you were to take the present time age, probably between six and twelve and straighten it out, Scientology would have won, hands down in about 15 years.”

—L. Ron Hubbard
excerpted from The Factors Lectures
pg 174, transcript book #1

Wow! What a datum—speaks for itself. Even more profound:

“Save the Child and you save the nation. If, in the course of the next fifteen years, Scientologists were to specialize in the Group Processing of children, it might well follow that all of the goals of Scientology would thereby be realized. Thus, by processing children between the ages of six and ten, we would achieve in fifteen years a sanity and alertness never before obtained in that portion of the populace between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-six, the age bracket which contains the energy and influence most strikingly felt by a civilization. Child Scientology could very well be, in terms of practice, the most important single field of endeavor in the science. So used, Scientology, without other addresses or assistances, might well bring about the condition of world peace if only by eradicating through the restoration of sanity the enthusiasm of youth for the sham glory of war.

“Therefore we address here a subject which is broader than ‘what will I do to cure Johnny’s sneezes.’ Whether or not we are interested in those sneezes, whether or not we have tolerance or intolerance for children, whether or not we care to give time to the problem of child adjustment and sanity, each and every one of us who has a vested interest in the continuation of Earth and man should be willing to invest some of his industry in the investigation and application of the group processing of children.”

—L. Ron Hubbard
excerpted from Child Scientology
Tech Vol II, pg 37

I don’t know about you but those words give me goose bumps! A very simple plan which is totally doable for every parent.

Remember that when recounting your daily dose of entheta from the talking head TV news shows, there is a simple handling laid out by LRH — get your kids in session and keep them rolling!

The overall message is: Lets get your kids on service, here, or at your local orgs and missions. The planet and the universe awaits us!

Okay, signing off once again. Stay in touch with your wins and questions I hope to see you all soon!

Love,

Letter From The Mace-Kingsley Case Supervisor

March 29, 2016 Issue

Hello! Welcome to the next installment of my letter to all of you, and I must say, it has been entirely too long since my last one.

Many things have occurred since the last letter; I completed Super Power and I finished all the currently released courses for GAT II, through Cl V and HRD. I am truly honored to have done so and my C/Sing has definitely jumped up 100 notches as a result. It is back to pure LRH which will get you winning all the time.

Now, the subject I want to address is the Purification Program. With the standardization brought about by GAT II, the Purif produces wins beyond your wildest dreams as a routine occurrence. It is a pleasure to C/S this action and read the wins that fly in with every pc.

There has been a question I see, time and time again, regarding as to at what age a child must be before he/she is able to do their Purif.

LRH sums this up in Purif series #1: “Not only LSD, but other chemical poisons and toxins, preservatives, pesticides, etc, as well as medical drugs and the long list of heavy street drugs (angel dust, heroin, marijuana, etc), can lodge in the tissues and remain in the body for years.” (LRH)

Later on in the same issue LRH says:

“The removal of these life-hostile chemical substances from the body of any person apparently speeds, and in some cases makes possible, case gain. It is even worth doing for its own sake.

“The purification Rundown, therefore, is for everyone.

“There is probably not a pc today who is outside this requirement” (LRH)

Pretty powerful words there, straight from LRH. Doesn’t matter if your child doesn’t have a heavy drug or medical history, he will benefit from the Purif program, period. This is backed by the thousands of child cases I have C/Sed through their Purifs in the 23.5 years I have C/Sed for Mace Kingsley. And the wins are amazing! We have reams of success stories from these pcs. For example:

*** “The Purification Rundown is the greatest thing ever! My body is clean and I have a much better life. I’m more alert, happy, my senses are all a lot better, and ever since I finished this I have gotten along better with my family. This is without a doubt one of those things that everyone has to do!” S.M. 12 yrs.

*** “My 8 year old daughter is a different kid after doing her Purification Rundown at Mace-Kingsley. She has always been a great child but had recently started invalidating herself and fighting with me. While on her Purification Rundown she became the sweet kid I knew. She began voraciously reading again. She was tackling new endeavors that she had previously said she couldn’t do (though she hadn’t even tried to do it). Overall my child had innumerable wins. She says she is just “Happy”; I think that sums it up perfectly. I want to thank the Purification I/C and the rest of the staff for such great service and for caring for my child so wonderfully.” C.P. Parent

*** “I loved my Purification Rundown. I feel completely free from all toxins and their restimulation. I feel more in control over my body. I can now use my muscles to their full potential. I just feel amazing. I am more aware and alert. I feel like my eyesight has widened in that I can see more. I feel like a new being. I am so excited that I finished. There are too many wins to write down. Thank you to the case supervisor, the Purification I/C and all my twins and my mom for supporting me through this rundown. And most of all thank you LRH!” A.A. 11 yrs old

Now I haven’t exactly answered the question, at what age can a child do his or her Purif? What we do is interview the child and fully check them out in our Purif area to see if they can take the required nutrients, and do the actions required of them while doing the rundown. They should have a personal purpose and desire to do the rundown along with the ability to comprehend the procedure itself and what will be occurring as they go through it. If they get a green light on this interview, the C/S will determine if it is feasible to do at the age of the pc. I am not answering you with an exact age here; rather I’m leaving it open to this evaluation of their ability to properly complete the action as I covered above. Have a question about this for your child? Well, bring them on in and we’ll check it all out for you!

Pretty cool stuff,eh? You bet! Signing off once again. I’m looking forward to seeing you around Mace Kingsley; we are here to service you and your children to give you to best family you could ever dream about, using pure LRH tech!

Love, Greg Smith

Sulle strade di New York City

Ci stavamo gustando una svelta passeggiata di mezzanotte di ritorno al nostro hotel di Manhattan, alla fine di una giornata intera di lavoro come Ministri Volontari dopo l’11 settembre. Era circa l’una del mattino e Jim mi stava raccontando una storia divertente. Gli piaceva farmi estrovertire dal lavoro fatto tutto il giorno. Fu allora che vidi una banda di giovani che gridavano e si agitavano attorno un altro giovane steso sul marciapiede. Non riuscivo a capire se fosse a terra a causa dei giovani che urlavano o se invece stessero cercando di rianimarlo. Ma era certamente ovvio che stava succedendo qualcosa e che c’era bisogno d’aiuto.
“Ehi, che succede?” dissi mentre mi avvicinavo tra le urla del gruppo.
“È Ernie, ha fatto un’overdose” riuscii a discernere nella confusione. Gli stavano urlando: “Svegliati! Non dovevi prendere quella * #! @^ di roba! Te l’ho detto che t’avrebbe ammazzato!”
Due dei giovani afferrarono Ernie sotto le braccia e tirarono su il suo corpo senza sensi; la testa chinata non mostrava alcun segno di risposta.
Cercai di quietare il gruppo, presi la mano penzolante di Ernie e cominciai a fare un Assist di Dianetics. Questo davvero ottenne l’attenzione del gruppo. Ora stavo chiedendo a Ernie di stringermi la mano e quello era qualcosa su cui tutti potevano essere d’accordo! Non stavano esattamente facendo silenzio ma almeno stavamo andando tutti nella stessa direzione, incluso Ernie! Mi strinse la mano.
Dopo pochi minuti di esecuzione l’Assist, Ernie lentamente iniziò a sollevare la testa. I suoi occhi erano fessure arrossate con una tenue luce di consapevolezza che cominciava ad apparire. La sua bocca si muoveva ma tra bava e biascichio non si riusciva a distinguere le parole. Ma di sicuro aveva tutta la nostra attenzione. Ernie stava per parlare dopo essere tornato dalla “morte”.
A questo punto, c’era davvero un silenzio “mortale”. Volevamo capire quello che Ernie stava per dire.
Fece un respiro profondo e dopo averci tenuti tutti col fiato sospeso ancora per qualche istante mormorò… “Burger King”.
Penso di aver notato la curva leggera di un sorriso quando lo disse. Era tornato tra i suoi amici e aveva fame. Ridemmo tutti con sollievo. Poi se ne andarono per la loro strada e io continuai verso il mio albergo con i miei amici.
Poche notti dopo stavano nuovamente facendo la stessa passeggiata veloce di mezzanotte verso l’hotel. Nell’ombra, addossato contro l’edificio c’era un altro giovane che aveva l’aspetto di un membro di una gang. Mentre mi avvicinavo venne un po’ fuori dall’ombra e in modo non scortese disse: “Ehi”.
Io risposi con un simile “Ehi”.
“Sei uno Scientologist?” voleva sapere.
“Sì,” gli risposi.
“Bene!” Sorrise e alzò i pollici in segno di approvazione!
Lo ringraziai e gli augurai la buona note.
Spero che questa storia vi abbia fatto sorridere. È stato un tale piacere dare a quei giovani un “miracolo”.
Questi semplici procedimenti di assistenza di Dianetics possono essere facilmente imparati dal libro degli Assist. Contatta il Centro per la Famiglia Mace-Kingsley e ordinane una copia mandando un’email a: [email protected]

Con affetto,
Carol
