Fundamentalism is defined as religious movement or point of view characterized by a return to fundamental principles, by rigid adherence to those principles, and often by intolerance of other views and opposition to secularism The fanatics behind that recurring train of thought have long preached the same thing: 1- That training and Interning is unnecessary and that one can call himself an expert without any real experience and only the most cursory of studies of the materials. Those pushing that aberrant ideology are the first to denigrate the value of training and those who dedicated decades of their lives becoming true experts and professionals: in their minds and writings they spread their false propaganda that any self-certified Class IV with a few dozen hours experience is just as good (if not even better) than a Class XII with over 40,000 hours of experience and having completed over two dozen auditor Internships under Class XII Case Supervisors that had been trained and handpicked by L. Ron Hubbard himself. © 2013 Pierre Ethier Selected Essays by Pierre Ethier and other Authors, Volume 2, First Edition 3 THE BAOBABS OF TOMORROW 2- That there is something inherently evil in adhering with true professionalism and meticulous care to the strict standards and discipline that both common sense and L. Ron Hubbard himself are required to deliver competently the Upper Levels and those designed to BYPASS THE NORMAL SELF-PROTECTION MECHANISM OF THE HUMAN MIND 3- That wild and new ideas not based on a shred of scientific evidence or even having proven to achieve any kind of result are as valid, if not more than long proven principles. The aberrant notion being promoted by those fanatics is that somehow, sitting in their living room, sometimes helped by generous amounts of Beer and cigarette smoke, and without a formal education in anything beyond a High School diploma nor in the Mind, Philosophy or Spirit these self- proclaimed Geniuses have been able to accomplish in a few hours and on their own more than thousands of years of Science and more than decades of Intensive research by L. Ron Hubbard and the hundreds of people that helped him. According to their hidden philosophical views, a failed auditor who has never been able to graduate an Internship conducted under any Case Supervisor worthy of that name, never bothered to spend any time drilling or honing his skills and who has never been able to objectively prove he can produce uniform results is on an equal footing as someone who spent hundreds (if not thousands) of hours drilling and cramming so he could audit flublessly hundreds of cases. 4- Every single vice present in their own behavior, they accuse those they chose to denigrate by mislabeling them as “fundamentalist”. They label as arrogant anyone insistent on sticking to professional standards and discipline. It never dawn on them that someone who was was too lazy to train properly, too selfish to persist in applying what has been proven by clinical tests to be “best practice” and that has never been successful in producing results consistently suddenly claiming that he is a World Authority and therefore entitled to denigrate and ridicule the true professionals in the same filed is not only the PAROXYSM of ARROGANCE, but delusional as well. They typically realize that by peddling auditing in the same manner of Snake Oil Merchants of old, they can maximize financial gain while minimizing the amount of effort required. Those among that group of fanatics that are not after financial wealth, are after Power over other people’s lives. Just like a perverse hypnotist who amuse himself by getting people he experiments on to act in funny ways or like animals, so are those who view people merely as guinea pigs to be experimented on. When they accuse true altruists people of delivering auditing with Professionalism and discipline of being con Men and only interested in Money, one can be certain that they are talking about themselves, a phenomenon known as Projective Identification in the Psychological Field and “similar Overts of one’s Own” in Scientology. 6- They normally claim to follow Standard tech. Some even redefine the word Standard (whose true meaning is a Universal yardstick) by claiming a Standard is simply following their own set © 2013 Pierre Ethier Selected Essays by Pierre Ethier and other Authors, Volume 2, First Edition 4 THE BAOBABS OF TOMORROW of rules, that they keep inventing as they keep experimenting. They do that because most people that have been exposed to Scientology and the bulk of normal people distrust non-standard application, in particular those who violate the tenets taught by L. Ron Hubbard. In the same vein. very few people that are sane of Mind, would abandon their own Minds to experimental procedures that have been just been developed on a whim. Hence the typical desire to deceive by those fanatics. claiming their wild ideas are in the same class as those of true professionals. The desire to lure clients is the true motive. They are essentially being dishonest. 7- They frequently promote aberrant and absurd notions that nobody outside the small world of the Freezone or Independent Field can agree with. Among the popular notions promoted by these individuals are the notion that some of them have Psychic Powers of such Magnitude that they are able to influence World Leader or Events through their mere thoughts. Yet the same individuals fail the simplest of logical tests in life and frequently their own lives and environment are in tatters. Another popular set of notion include variations on the theme that Aliens (often called Markabians) in remote galaxies or solar system have taken over the world
