News-Archives

Time flies – no, it just seems like that in retrospect. Indeed these months were full of events, too.

The outstanding event of course was the Convention, this year hosted by us. After 6 years the convention was organized once more by Ron’s Org Frankfurt (during the past years it was alternatingly held in Moscow and in Central Europe where the various orgs organized it in turn). It took place from Saturday until Sunday noon, the same way it has been in the last years, and we’d like to give you a short summary of this event.

After the lunch at the outset – a hungry stomach is no good listener – the convention began with a short introductory lecture by Ulli who explained the motto of the event, “persistence”. Ulli pointed out how much we have proven to be persistent as a group and network in the past and how exactly this characteristic will have to be with us in the future so as to overcome barriers and continue to expand.

After that we had a period where all the organizations of which staff was present gave a shorter or longer presentation. There were quite a few of them: Bern, Moerigen, Munich, Frankfurt, Maasland, Bristol and the orgs “Aestheta” and “Volcano” from Moscow.

(Here you can see us staffs from Ron’s Org Frankfurt: Beate, Julia, Ulli, Otfried)

After a short trip to the nearby “Falkenhof”, a rearing station for birds of prey, back in the conference house and fortified by a tasty dinner we had the first long lecture, held by Max on “Past Lifes”. Of course Max didn’t speak about his past lifes, but about which factors influence on the memory of such and how important it is to find your identity as an immortal being and to be certain of it. Because it is these things on which we really attain knowingness – certainty on what you know – which we can take with us into the next lifetime.

The program ended with the presentation of some projects, amongst others the introduction of the technical dictionaries which are now also available in English and French, and a very funny movie that showed how you certainly should not audit. (If you want to have a good laugh, too, go to Youtube and look for the skit “Stop It” by Bob Newhart.) We spent the rest of the evening in numerous spontaneous conversations, accompanied by music from our “DJ” Julia.

The next morning began with a lecture by Erica on the subject of loyalty. Erica spoke about the different kinds of loyalty – the more negative examples where e.g. in the workaday world loyalty is demanded from you, or false loyalty towards a cause which you actually do not longer support, over to the positive side of loyalty, which of course is very important for a group and always has to go in both directions. As always with Erica’s lectures the audience was touched deeply.

The next program item was a high spot in a way and included the thankfulness of the whole group to Erica and Max. These two got the certificates which acknowledged that they had been awarded the title of “Dean of Scientology” by the Ron’s Org Committee recently. This is a honorary title for those within the Ron’s Orgs who have been an outstanding asset for the 3rd dynamic and have proven over many years that they are an example of successful application of tech in their fields (which does not only include case supervisors and auditors). The audience acknowledged by its long applause that it fully supported the decision by the ROC.

Then the convention came to its end, with a farewell and thank-yous for all the helpers. There was a broad agreement that this weekend we spent together had been very harmonious and full of theta and the opportunity for validating old friendships and creating new ones was used in the best possible way.

Besides this event two other advances which are important for our org should not be forgotten: From now on Beate can deliver the upper levels of the Bridge from Operating Thetan 17 on to the end.
And Otfried was trained to deliver the remaining two L-Rundowns, too, i.e. he can now deliver all
L-Rundowns. Thus our “repertoire” has been rounded off in a very nice way!

And here come our completions of the last months:

After the completion of Life Repair the quality of my life has improved markedly. I can handle difficult situations easier, solve problems faster and more effectively. And in general I have noticed that there are less many problems to solve as before. My environment changed to the better. I get more appreciation, bigger challenges and a promotion at my job. My boss put it this way: “Earlier, it was not easy with you. Meanwhile you have developed and changed by 180 degrees so that you can be trusted with bigger tasks.” And these effects do not only show at the job but also in other areas.
I am immensely happy and only can guess what will come along on my further way! Fascinating!
Many many thanks to Beate (she has infinite patience) and all the Ron’s Org Team.

Excalibur completed a major step on the bridge, I have been on this band of case since 1986, doing Operating Thetan Levels in C of S. It was a long and tough road, but getting through it here in Ron’s org was fantastic, before I meet RO I had decided to do no more bridge this life time, but Thanks to Ron’s Org staff I got the hope back that another level of existence was possible.
Just after completing Excalibur, I took a break, and just enjoyed that I could decide what to do without feeling that there was certain things I had to do.
Instead I started going out again, dancing and more outings.
Things I would previously be a bit nervous about, no problem. I feel that my life has just begun again. Previously I would get migraine headaches, but after completing some Months ago I have not had any problems with this.
Thank you to all Ron’s Org terminals who has helped me through.
B.S.

Rendel, 10 Sept 2010
Today I finished the Orientation course for Pre Operating Thetan’s. I already had accomplished Operating Thetan III, when I was presented this course. I had no doubts doing the course afterwards but had a bit of question in my head what it could contribute. The data that are so valuable and sometimes confronting that I now feel a bit ashamed having had that thought. It answered quite a lot of my long time questions of why and how things go the way they seem to go and what could be done about it. Now I know the data behind this so called “game” that is holding our world in a tight grip, I can only feel more free than I already did and take on the challenge of playing the real game: The new Civilization Game. Seems much more fun and rewarding. The game of the free world. Next goal: Excalibur!!
Many thanks for this tech.

What’s going on, three months without „News“, aren’t there any new things happening at Ron’s Org Frankfurt?

Sure there are, so many of them that we had actually no time for writing up the “News”... the most important things that happened:

At the end of April our C/S and auditor Otfried has been in the US to be trained on a level which up to now was not really available in the Ron’s Org: The Class X course which teaches to audit and C/S the L-Rundown-10. This is a confidential Rundown from the early 1970s which covers the subject of why does a thetan restrain himself on his dynamics. Very power auditing, and from now on available in Ron’s Org, too, because Otfried completed his training with Rey Robles successfully!

Then, in May, the training camp in Les Verrières took place like every spring. This time with a record-breaking number of participants from many different orgs. The house we use was used to its limits, and many students (from Frankfurt, too) could progress on their courses very effectively!

Additionally we can proudly report that the number of our field auditors grows – these are trained auditors that autonomously, but in cooperation with us, audit people or sometimes also deliver smaller courses. Now there are 5 of them from Ron’s Org Frankfurt that were awarded the title of “Ron’s Org Field Auditor” by the Ron’s Org Committee. Below you will find a success story for a course delivered by our field auditor Inge in Stuttgart!

Finally one more good “excuse” for the delay in the delivery of our News. The countdown for the Ron’s Org Convention taking place at the beginning of August in Frankfurt is ticking, and we are deeply immersed in the preparations. We expect participants from many countries and are looking forward to this event very much!

At the start I thought, so simple - so straight forward; what will result from this??
Well... I am here. Not elsewhere. It is not that this is being in present time more. There is simply more of more me here to look with. It's more to Be, more to Do and more to Have. As I walk around, I keep thinking to myself - Oh! How about that! That's new! It's almost as if I never have never experienced some things before. It is as if part of me has never see this place before. :0)
I find it best to actually decide what I want. Otherwise I end up with a mish-mash of half wanted-half not actually wanted things... Every thing works out – so I find I should actually know what I want because – one should, Be Cause - Then you'll get what you actually want now.
much love and thanks to all,
C.N.
PS Oh, wow, look - see how the sky is pink and fades up into blue - my god, smell that smoke and food cooking from the neighbours :0))

Success Story about the Course “Communication in a relationship”
(Note: This course was supervised by Inge in Stuttgart)

First of all, THANKS to my partner who without any prior knowledge and without prejudice did this course with me, and to Inge who supervised it so efficiently.
During that time a lot has happened – we nearly broke apart! But for some reason I did not want to leave an “enemy”, but if it had to happen, at least a friend. By all the communication, the cognitions, the intentions and the new knowledge we have now found a way to work at our relation with fun, to learn and to progress together.
In my opinion, the most important points are:
- To see responsibility as an ability, not as having been given the bumsteer.
- The intention behind an action is what counts, and if it was good, you don’t criticize the result.
- Communication is so important, e.g. you can find points of agreement.
- (Let) give and (let) take.
And so on, each day in a new unit of time...
M.P., 05/04/10

Well, in the beginning of March we had our full-time study week and really were busy, so we had no time for the February News – thus you find here once more one for two months. As you can see below, our students and preclears were also very busy, you could say: hunting for records! About some of the completions we should say a bit more maybe.
For example the two completions of “Operating Thetan 7”. An explanation for those who are not so familiar with it: In Scientology in the 70s there were four more levels after Operating Thetan 3, sometimes called the “old Operating Thetan levels”. Later they were replaced by the Church of Scientology by “New Era Dianetics for OTs” (NOTs) and disappeared from their delivery. These levels are about positive gain, mostly training mental abilities, while Operating Thetan 2, 3 and NOTs bring about negative case gain, that is removing unwanted things. Fortunately the “good old” Operating Thetan levels are not lost. Ron’s Orgs possess the full original materials and deliver these levels.
Another thing are the “Operating Thetan Hatting Courses” which are promoted heavily in the Scientology Church. The Ron’s Org has an equivalent to that, e.g. the “Operating Thetan Hat” mentioned below. These are courses which give you valuable data on the playing of games, on philosophy, on life, the universe... and all the rest. Some of them are obligatory at certain points of the bridge, others can be studied when you are interested or where they seem suitable for a person. Most of them do not even contain confidential data, thus in some cases it might even make sense to study them early on the bridge, e.g. the course with the nice title “How to have a game instead of a case”. The good news is, you do not have to book a cruise through the Caribbean on a ship contaminated with asbestos. You just have to come to Frankfurt!

Today I was acknowledged for having completed Operating Thetan II. A fantastic result and similar feeling. I completed the cycle already in January, but the forces of winter kept me from taking a trip to RO Frankfurt.
What can I say? It is like making a jig saw puzzle. When you are a young child you get a puzzle of large pieces and once you have laid them down, you know and want to continue on another puzzle that has smaller pieces. Each time your confront is brought up a bit, and also your skills and you want another puzzle. The puzzle of LIFE. To my feeling I have had to put in quite a lot of discipline (doesn’t hurt nobody!!) and auditing for the puzzle that I have competed now, but going on I laid the small pieces down more rapidly and saw the entire picture of the WHY I was doing it. An interesting view on LIFE now.
I have just gone to the “puzzle shop” to get my next one: Operating Thetan III.
Knowing Ron and his ways of gradients and step by step progress, I am looking forward with great envy to what the outcome of this puzzle is going to be.
I will tell you when I have done that.
Many thanks to all that made this possible.
ARK, PK

Hooray, I have completed Operating Thetan 7.
But this is just a number, there is more to it which cannot be put into words. You have to experience it.
Life really has changed. I also got some wonderful tools.
Communication, Intention, even Being – as myself – now is on a much higher level. There are things to enjoy in life – cannot be described.
The world has unfolded.
Many thanks to all that helped, especially, of course, Ron – and Otfried, my auditor, perfect sessions!
GS, 18/3/2010

After completing a very successful year 2009, the new year starts quite nicely, too (see below under completions). Additionally, big events are being foreshadowed, that is the Ron’s Org Convention 2010 which this year is hosted by Frankfurt! Apart from that there is a number of full-time study weeks, as well in our org as “international” ones in Switzerland, including one which is designed especially for parents with children. So: There’s to a successful 2010!

After an exciting and very interesting internship I have now completed the HSDC/Dianetics course.
After completing the theory part I of course was curious but then also very excited regarding auditing Dianetics – will I get it done and what if something does not go totally straightforward? Well, the tech is perfect and I just have to keep to the recipe as Ron wrote it down. And when something did not go totally straightforward I still had the correction list and of course my C/S. Nothing could go wrong.
Auditing was a lot of fun, it was exciting and thrilling at the same time – to experience how the reactive mind works, how it can change the time track and what effects this can create – and it gave me the certainty that in the end all will be well when I as an auditor follow the given procedure patiently.
A heart-felt thank you to my pc, my C/S and all who supported me with my questions and with tips, and of course to Ron for the perfect technology.
J.M.

This level has had quite a strong positive effect on my life. As I went through the level I found that my interests and expectations were changing - I developed the view point that I can achieve what ever I want to achieve, myself, with out any tricks or vias. I can do it. I found that there is a level above "making things go right", Efforting, through to "things being right! Being. On this level I re-found the playground - and it is full of things just waiting and wanting to play!! My personal feeling of well being has improved - I know I can do and handle whatever come before me! My levels of ARC and KRC seem to have jumped up the scale too! There is such a full future for me, for you and for all. I have recovered my future!
C.N.

My oh my, it really was an active year. We let it come to an end with a very nice Advent Sunday brunch, which nearly has become a tradition, and the yearly general assembly of the association.
The course completions we could present last month are balanced by the HGC completions this month. It’s nice that we again have two completions from the very start of the bridge – indeed, we have new faces amongst the active publics! – along the two completions on the Operating Thetan levels.

2 weeks ago, after 5 days of intensive auditing, I attested the successful completion of Life Repair. On the technical side it was interesting to see how my initial considerations about talking openly on burdensome subjects vanished. More and more I saw auditing as a game – a game in which I and the auditor together “work” the bank. As I had worked with other techniques before it was very interesting to find out that one can really experience relief by observing things very exactly and (repeatedly) voicing them.
I want to once more say thank you to Ulli for the really professional auditing and Beate for the likewise professional case supervision.
Wins? During the Life Repair I felt often (also in the evenings, post-session) very relieved and joyful. I could communicate more relaxedly and at the same time more concentrated and with joy. Now, nearly 2 weeks later, I can add that I sleep much better than before (I have voiced those things in auditing which before frequently stole away my sleep) and thus am more powerful and concentrated. The biggest surprise however was my own behavior in certain social situations. I do not know when was the last time I was so free and easy and extroverted in my communication.
BV, December 09

After having completed the Excal levels there was a kind of suction to go on with the bridge as fast as possible, but at the same time my life began to become more and more complex. More and more stops, delays etc. occurred. So I increased the frequency of my sessions and the counter-intentions increased proportionally, until a situation turned up at the end of the level that threatened to ruin my existence. All the stops combined became very menacing, and it seemed that this could not be handled, in the same way as it happened 17 years ago. Obviously this was the test whether I was able to hold my position or not. A huge amount of hectic activity which even increased at first sight because I had agreed to participate in an Operating Thetan project in Gran Canaria. I left home in the last minute although all physical, that is to say mechanical conditions were to the contrary. From that point on, together with the following auditing to confront the suppression which had been built up, all of the situations dissolved nearly into nothing. So there was no remake of the SP rallye 17 years ago. This time I had the tech and competent support available to overcome the threat. For me this is the make and break point of this lifetime, and probably of future developments as well.
During the level itself my perception of space has changed a lot, now I am causative in my universe. Apart from that I had a lot of cognitions, especially regarding conditions, there were very causative aspects with regards to that.
So all in all this is not a hobby level. If there was a title for Phoenix (like Dr. Phoenix e.g. – joke) I would have no problem to accept it – I think I would have earned it.
But above all the professional supporters Otfried, Erica, Max, Ulli, Beate who played a decisive role. Last not least my wife who also got a good share of suppression but has recovered in the meantime.
Finally I am absolutely certain that I am exactly at the point I was supposed to reach. All the vagaries of the last 30-40 years were worth it.

This month was dynamic on the third dynamic! First we had the already traditional Autumn training camp in Les Verrières, where our Beate completed her Class IV C/S Course. And in the end of the month a special group activity took place, an Operating Thetan mission to the Canary Islands. The purpose was to remove charge connected with this geographical area by auditing steps done as a group. Pre-OTs from four countries participated, also some of our solo auditors. Below you can read a great success story of this Operating Thetan action!

There are many things in Scientology which I had to look up during my training on lower levels again and again, and then I knew in principle what they were, but somehow it was rather Greek to me, for example this out/int and all the other things which belong under the heading of repair.
And all the knowledge which you need to write down a proper program seemed to be infinitely large. Now that I completed this C/S course today and the „Greek“ has been translated so to say I can only say that once more my conviction has become more firm that this technology is pure gold. It is really a very good and safe feeling to know how to handle which situation in the best way. We all can profit very much from the experiences Max and Erica make in Russia, and I appreciate that very much, because in the final account practice shows the right way for things.
Thank you for the time and support by everybody in Ron’s Org Bern. A special thank to my twin Melinda because she could afford so much time notwithstanding her baby and pulled me forward at that.
Now the only task remaining is to apply what I have learnt as much and as correct as possible and pass it on.
Thankful and with love, B.F.

To audit together with ca. 25 OTs was a unique experience. I had a few aspects to audit on my level Operating Thetan 11 and there was also a lot going on regarding an ongoing investigation of the tax office. But besides that there was also the group action which I nevertheless took part, integrated in the whole. Within the 25 hours I could complete many old cycles which had to do with the environment here. During that, formidable third-dynamic masses and evil intentions of all kinds disappeared. I could blow masses which I before wasn’t able to even perceive. The efficiency of the activity increased every day.
On the last day I had such a win that still leaves me gasping. I nearly floated with “my body” and did no longer look at the aberration from my first dynamic, but as a part of the third dynamic. Together we followed the C/S, no longer each one individually, and no negative energy remained. This power resolves everything. What a view for the future! Any aberration can be blowed by the group so efficiently that in my opinion there is nothing which can resist. The good was there before the evil, and as a group we can really overcome it. Thanks to Erica and Max for this possibility and the great accompaniment and to all the great thetans from Russia, Switzerland, Denmark and Germany for this experience. See you next time, I am already looking forward to it.
It is plain to see that every Operating Thetan can achieve many gains during such an action. And on the other hand, we from Western Europe were very clearly in the minority, we should change that next time. (A question of honour!??)

In the beginning of October an important Ron’s Org event took place, the yearly international convention. This year it was held in Moscow and was a big success with nearly 300 participants. Unfortunately due to various reasons nearly nobody from our org could attend, but you soon will be able to read a report about the ROC convention at http://www.ronsorg.com/english/news.htm.
The 6-months period that ended now (the report period for the ROC statistics always is May to October and November to April) was the most successful one RO Frankfurt ever had. With 67 active participants of courses and auditing and 51 completions we are well on our way. Especially the interest of completely new people still seems to steadily increase.
And finally we can report another type of “expansion”: our two staff members Otfried and Nastja got a beautiful daughter!

In early August I participated in the Money Course delivered in the RO by Beate.
In themselves the data were not new for me, but to refresh them, clarify them and get certain application data in compressed form gave me an incentive to take these more seriously and work more intensively at putting the theory into practice.
For example, over two months I kept book over my household expenses (which I never would have done earlier), with the result that one type of expense was different from what I had expected: I spent only half the money on food compared with what I thought, but twice the sum on eating out. So I decided to decrease this.
For me the most important thing in the Money Course was that you have to formulate your goal or goals exactly, work them out in written form and plan and execute them in gradients to get any progress, and that you have to improve and rekindle these things in case you run aground or get diverted.
From now on I put more vigor and intensity into achieving my goals so I can see them better, realize them better, word them better and achieve them.

This has also to do with the PTS/SP Course which I completed recently.
It is always important to stay tuned to your goals, to continue to work and to not get discouraged, no matter what other and counter-intentions there are and how strong they are.
It is immensely important to always start and postulate anew, to not make yourself smaller or let yourself be made smaller.
If you do not create your life actively then you will find yourself finally amidst some drift, and who knows, what sort of drift!
Thus I will invest more effort on the dynamics to see my real goals, pursue and achieve them – and this makes more happy anyhow.

Today I attested Phoenix and am very happy about it. It is a level that really is fun.
I had an incredible number of cognitions and my perceptions have improved formidably. Actually my certainty on the perceptions has changed. Where I was in doubt about the perception earlier it is certainty today. An incredible change.
Another great experience is how postulates come true. It happens in an unexpected speed. Simply great.
Thanks to all that helped me achieving these wins.
ARC, L.S. Oct 17th, 2009

Ouch, we skipped one month. We hope nobody assumed we have forgotten our readers!

Actually we were so active during the first half of September that the “News” had to wait. The reason was that we had another full time study week, and this time our place was even more busy than in earlier study weeks! On the most frequented day we even had 18 students in the course room, including a quite big group of people on TRs “Hard Way”. It was a great atmosphere, and there were quite a few completions which we applauded. Look for yourself:

My upsets of the past have been clarified. Lost order in the past was reestablished.
I have a new access to energy and its application. Changes are once again easy to experience.
Thank you, Ron, for the Tech.
S.S.

Today I – finally – completed the Int Rundown. I did not know how many attention units can be freed by this and how much easier it is now for me to be in present time. I had a lot of cognitions that make new perspectives possible for me.
Many thanks to Otfried for the perfect application of Standard Tech and thanks to LRH that he made it possible to find yourself again!
ML, HS 1 Aug 09

Before Grade 4 I had to deal with two fixed ideas that were contradictory, and they nearly always opposed each other – but I did not know that at all.
So often I had been looking for solutions that were not realistic, and sometimes I did not find any solution at all. Now this is over and done with. Without the tech I would never had a chance to find that out and would have remained in a chaos of computations. A great side-effect: I Q & A a lot less in achieving my own goals.
It is very pleasant when complexities go.
The future will be simpler.
S.S.

July was a very successful month for our students and pcs, considering the number of completions. Our joy goes along with theirs, and below you find the figures.

One reason for such successes is certainly the fact that we have a regularly working course room. Our leader Ulli just recently has pointed out in an article in our newsletter how important this is. The course room with its fixed schedule is a stable datum on which you can orient (and with which you can strengthen your discipline), the course room is a meeting point where you come together with the course supervisor and others. No form of organization which tried along the lines of “students study at home and only come for checkouts” or “study times are held in the living room of the auditor as required” has had success if only medium-term success and could keep supporting people in their development. The regular, standard course room work is the heart of the group and as we think the key to our own continuous work for now over 20 years!

On purpose I have waited for 3-4 weeks to write down the success story for this adventure.
35 years ago I got the first vague inkling of how it would be to get rid of all the other-determined things and their effects on my life. Now I know for sure.
And of course, it’s great.
One of my major wins is the much bigger integrity and the recognition how senseless it is to make myself smaller or keep me smaller. Of course everybody creates his or her own state, but the learning process becomes deadlier and deadlier as you go down the spiral. And there lies other-determinism.

For the goal is to learn from experience and not to be done in for it. During this level I could get to know the many facets of this other-determinism in such an incredible way. There is really nothing you can imagine that does not exist. During the level I could insert the Solo Power Course to solve some problems that had occurred. The data related to this opened some more doors. Now I could sort out things which were impossible to sort out before. The result was a very calm state, resting in myself, willingness to confront whatever I would undertake and a very large certainty and confidence regarding my destination, my origin and my further development. Most of all the certainty to be able to win this game together with all others.
But the most amazing experience was the Operating Thetan Life Repair. What I could handle on all dynamics on that level can’t be told in words. My concept regarding the dynamics after that was so simple that I could hardly believe it.
The uncertainties which I experienced in the Church after the completion of each level could once more not be traced here. There was just the subjective and objective truth that this kind of charge has been removed. This in itself is nearly an Operating Thetan level.

Especially with regards to the partially very hurtful cognitions which I gained on this level regarding the Church I can value the possibility Ron’s Org offers here even more:
- the bridge that is really done by gradients where you can move swiftly without any uncertainty
- the precise measure of support and trust in the ability and responsibility of the individual
- the completely superior handling of supervision and care.
All of that, I am quite sure, is appreciated by Ron.
With regards to the support in this important step I want to thank my C/S, the “Swiss people”, the course team and also my wife who accompanied me on this journey with patience, some emotion (created from both sides) and support.
I am looking forward to the next level and wish everybody those wins, and fast!
ARC, RW

Today I finished the Solo course. Learning to be an auditor and pc at the same time.
Another secure but important step towards Operating Thetan.
Before I started I had really wondered how it could be possible to do solo auditing. While doing the exercises (solo cs’es) I got familiar and while studying I got good data on the necessary things that make solo auditing possible. In doing the exercises I got too the opportunities to look back on previous wins and releases and it really make me feel very good and certain.
With this accomplishment the road to Operating Thetan I now opens up for me. A road that I have often considered to be out of my reach. Can you imagine I am a happy man?
I hope I can tell you about my next wins on Operating Thetan I soon.
Thanks to all that made it happen for me.
Thanks Ron for the phenomenal Tech.
Love and ARC
PK, 5-7-2009

In June we continued to march forward, there was a lot of studying and auditing going on. If you look at the completions, you see that the emphasis was definitely on the upper bridge, on the Operating Thetan levels and solo auditing.

Why actually Operating Thetan levels? Isn’t it enough to be Clear? Well, while the state of Clear is mainly referring to the first dynamic, i.e. oneself, the Operating Thetan levels are about becoming more causative on the other dynamics, too. You rid yourself of other-determined influences, and then you look at what you have put onto yourself. The goal is of course to eventually become more free regarding what games one plays – or does not play. To get a foretaste of this, you can read success stories from these levels here.

Success story Grade 0
So beautiful what I was able to experience. Incrustations, involvements which I did not even suspect were there have been resolved.
During the journey I was often surprised how attitudes, viewpoints and experience can manifest themselves. You could say during restructuring.
It is a bit like a marionette – if a string is pulled a certain body part moves.
During auditing I mainly learned to keep counsel with myself, often enough I had not listened carefully.
I have become more aware of myself and things and relationships to my environment arrange themselves in a new way.
The procedure is very good.
Thanks to the attentive, caring practitioners.
MW, June 5th 2009

Today I attested for the solo-course!
It is such a great course! It brings reality on how to be a solo-auditor and with the solo-C/Ses you get the confidence that you will be able to apply the tech, learned in this course, on the Operating Thetan-levels.
The first steps onto the Operating Thetan-levels are ahead of me and I’m very much looking forward to begin this journey.
Thanks to all the staff for a smooth cycle on this solo-course for helping with checkouts and drills. Thanks to the C/S for quick C/Sing and thanks to Ron for making it possible for all to be able to make a change!
Much love and ARC,
SvM, 28 June 2009

As every May, this one again was marked by the 10-day training camp in Switzerland and the meeting with our friends from Bern, Munich, the Rhineland and various countries (this time: France, the Netherlands and an especially strong group from England). Amongst the participants there was also a focus on the future generation as we had 3 mothers-to-be and one who some months ago delivered her baby!

Of course the main attention was on studying. As always we had some students embarking on the adventure of the Hard TRs – this is about the ability to be there for 2 hours and do nothing than to be there, and believe me, it can be a stony road until you have achieved that. But the success is worth it as can anyone confirm who has come through it!

The others worked each at his current course, from HQS up to Class VIII and the highest Operating Thetan level, and in the evenings during musters many wins had to be reported. Also the new, extended edition of the German technical dictionary was presented. A highlight of the “evening program” was a picture show made by our friends in Russia that showed the 12-year history of training camps in the CIS, from where we took the cue for our training camps “in the West”. A good example for us, and thus we left with the certainty to continue with meeting regularly in training camps in the future!

It is a strange feeling to take for granted to be able to sit motionless for 2 hours without pain, while still remembering all too well the experience of pain in my bottom and shoulders and to be in the conviction that it is impossible to do the drill without pain.
I’ve found this drill to be very valuable in practice: for example in a business meeting where I received criticism, I was able to handle it with ease.
Greetings,

The other day I was watching a sea gull flying around near by... I put my attention on him directly and all of a sudden I could feel a sensation like the air pushing upward in different places, a ripple of upward flows and pushes as the bird slid through them. A little like when you run your hand through gentle water jets pushing up in a bath of water. It was very pleasant!
I'm enjoying this!

And once more we had a communication course this month, and in May there will be another one.

Actually – what is this communication course, those of you might wonder that haven’t done it yet? This is the right question – you have missed a worthwhile thing!

On the communication course on the one hand communication is analysed and taken apart: what actually is communication, how does it work and what belongs to communication so it really does work? This part alone is giving you a better understanding of some of the things which happen to you in life: Ah, so that is the reason why I think X is a weird guy, and why Y never wants to talk to me!

But the theory is actually only a smaller part. At least as important are the practical exercises. Beginning with the basic exercise which is about just being “there” – by the way, not so unlike certain exercises in Zen Buddhism – each of the components of communication are investigated more closely one after the other and exercised. Doing that you find out quite a few things you can improve in everyday life when dealing with other people!

And last but not least the communication course is fun for the participants. And that’s the way it should be – if it is no fun, it is not Scientology!

Below you find two success stories from the communication course held this month.

Today I want to thank you once more that I could successfully complete the Communication Course.
What has happened? After the first day I could see that my attitude toward conversation partners had become more attentive. This in turn became noticeable by the fact that others had more attention for me, which was a very pleasant feeling.
Sometimes I also noticed that certain people which I have already known for a long time would go on and on telling me something so that it was sometimes even difficult to follow them and stay focused.
Over all I could clearly see that I got more attention although I did nothing else than being “present” myself.
Strange people approached me much friendlier than I was used to before.
I had a special “success” when I visited my sister over the Easter holidays. On the second day there was an emotionally upset discussion which was turning toward an imminent emotional chaos.
But when I remembered the rules from the Communication Course and applied them immediately, within a few minutes I could bring “peace” into the difficult situation.
It was so easy, and I was really happy that everybody calmed down. So these days could be spent in peace and joy and after all they were nice Easter holidays, thanks to what I learned on the course.
I gained a lot on the Communication Course, and not the least factor was the caring direction from Ulli.
Also many thanks to the others who always gave one a “feeling of value”.
Thank you!
R.S., April 22nd, 2009

It was great! The course has helped and given me a lot. I can now better communicate with the world and confront, understanding fundamental principles gives a good feeling of being well-grounded and acting confidently.
Thanks again to you, Ulli. You have led us through theory and practical drills skillfully and with patience. It was not boring.
I can recommend the comm course to everybody (even if they think they could do well without it and had no trouble with communication). You gain incredibly with its help.
Much love,
I.L.

This month we had another fulltime study week which was visited especially by our students from out of town. From Monday, March 2nd to Sunday, March 8th they studied from morning till night, did TRs until the chairs got worn out and of course the time was used for auditing, too. The results are not bad at all as one can see in our completions for this month. If you look at it you will notice that these completions encompass nearly the whole bridge but once again there is a certain emphasis on solo auditing and the Operating Thetan levels. We are glad that we can bring our people up to and through these advanced levels without big barriers, neither of a financial nor an administrative character, because the wins they experience on these levels are certainly worthwhile.

And as an added bonus we can report that two auditors-in-training have started to work with their pcs, so there is new blood, too. Additionally our course supervisor Inge has established a regular study evening in her home town Stuttgart so that hopefully a busy courseroom scene will evolve there step by step.

This time we do not present selected success stories, but much more than that: We have been busy, have tabulated and translated, and now we can proudly present a much broader collection of success stories as before on our web pages.
Please take a look: . . .

The year gains momentum and we, too. A nice thing is that in the last months we get more and more frequently contacted by persons that got to know about us through our website and in part have only had a few or no experiences with Scientology yet but would like to know more about it. Well, we are certainly very willing to help them!

From the beginning of the Bridge up to the Advanced Levels we can deliver the whole gamut of auditing and courses – steps to self-recognition, data for application in job or business, close-up philosophy, training for becoming able to help others professionally, spirituality in the workaday life: a huge array. So, you are welcome!

Do you know what thetans do when they run into something they don't understand?
They find a solution! What kind of solution? Preferably a complex solution…
Does it work? – Yes, most of the time. Sometimes the solution to "A" gets in the way of doing "B". Of course, there's a solution for "B" as well; but it doesn't work in case of "A". So, you let factor "Z" switch between solution "B1" and "B2", depending on "A".
Sounds confusing? – That's easily solved! Make your solutions automatic. Ah, yes: and forget that you ever made them...
This level has brought me closer to my simple self.
It's good to have the Tech.
It's good to be able to apply it.
Thanks everyone who supports this Org!
Thank you Ron for the Tech!
A.M.

Already while being on the course I could no longer peacefully lie in the bath tub with a book – at least not with a Hubbard book. :-)
Somehow it was too much – book, dictionary, writing pad, pen, demo kit, wet hands and not enough space!
What I noticed:

A little recommendation on top of that for the German speaking, the book “Der Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod” – I borrowed it from my mother and talked to her about it after reading it: I found out that she hadn’t even understood the title…
Thanks a lot Ulli that I could study the course in that way.
Thanks a lot Inge that you made it possible for me to do the course with you and at your place. I think you did a marvelous job, go on like that!
M.P.

Wow, it has been a long time since the winter was so cold as in this month. But the needles of our e-meters didn’t freeze, and the course room was cosy and warm and inviting.

The most important news from our point of view is that our friends in the Netherlands have organized their delivery unit up to a point where they officially applied for the title “Ron’s Org”, which via Otfried as their C/S will have a close technical link to us. Of course we will support them as we can and train them so they can stand on their own feet to a greater and greater degree!

Today is Saturday January 31st, 2009, and I completed Grade I (problems and help). I feel like tidied up in the mind and I am very happy about it J I now feel as if the road in front of me is clear of unpleasant things and I can go ahead. Additionally I now have an understanding of what is a problem and how I can solve it, any time and always! I also notice how I become more aware in life and obtain a broader and broader general view of life.

My thanks got to LRH for this technology and in the first place I thank my auditor Beate!

I always thought that I was an easy going and flexible person, until I started on Grade III auditing. Then I found out that I was actually being partly pliable only to please others. So I used also every now and then the other people’s opinion to get things done or changed as a sort of survival action: “Other peoples’ opinions are more important than my own.” The same applies actually to changes; I thought I was reasonably flexible to that too, but now it appeared that I only did it for the wrong reasons. If the other party was happy, so was I.

I now notice far more quietness in my head, no more raving thoughts about all sorts of things. Thoughts that also caused that I was not always capable of listening to other people. So now there are no more distractions that divert my attention.

Then I continued on Grade IV. Suddenly all kinds of things happened that I did not hold possible. What a person invents to do for survival and the computations that go with that?!
The revelation and relief when that blows! It is hard to belief but so true!

A completely new world lies in front of me and at the same time all the “old pains” have vanished. Everything now seems to fall in its place and become clearer to me. I feel that the real “ME” has only now emerged. What freedom! A new future lies ahead of me which I will face with great pleasure and without barricades.

I already look forward to the next step!

Thanks Julia, my auditor, for your patience and anybody else around me that supported me. Above all I would like to thank the one person who made this all possible: L. Ron Hubbard.

Now we have reached the end of the year, and on looking back we can be quite satisfied. There were many nice completions to celebrate, from completely different parts of the bridge: Grades, Clears, Operating Thetan levels, all sorts of courses. We were especially happy that this year we had more participants on communication courses than ever – nearly all of them persons for whom it was the first course in Scientology.

We gave a last highlight to the year with a little party on Sunday before Christmas. Here you can see a photo:

The 5 days I could spend with you until now did a lot of good.

I feel freed from an incredible rumble and jumble. This in turn gives me a feeling for myself. It is as if I would have taken on a tangible form again – no longer so dispersed, so nameless.

I feel more in life and alive, and that is so beautiful, I have back a future.

Many thanks to all who contributed,
M.W.

Completion Grade II

Hostilities have played a certain role in my life. I was faced by a personal difficulty and thought it would take quite a time to resolve it.

Well, looking at it in auditing and understanding it has achieved that. I am very glad, because the Grade gives you what it promises: Relief. It is amazing to see how burdensome situations come back under control.

Now I have new possibilities to handle unwanted emotions: a state which until now I could not reach despite various efforts.

My auditor and my C/S have worked with their usual competence and precision so that it was almost an easy matter to do for me.

Of course many thanks to Ron for the Tech!
S.S.

The November was under the banner of the half-yearly Ron's Org training camp in Switzerland (see May 2008) and thus under the banner of some very nice completions which our HGC auditors could log down:

Otfried, our Senior Case Supervisor, filled in the last gaps in his checksheet and attested the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course (short: SHSBC, it includes the levels V and VI of auditor training). Finally this most encompassing course of Scientology has become a reality in the Free Zone, too! The SHSBC covers the complete chronological development of the technology and thus teaches an auditor or case supervisor Fallüberwacher the full array of methods to enable a case progress in auditing.

Ulli and Beate completed their Class IV Internship and thus are from now on, like Julia and Otfried, permanent Class IV auditors. Besides an extensive theory part this means first and foremost a great number of supervised auditing hours, which both of them passed with flying cololurs. Of course they also completed the full training as Dianetics auditors, so that they are the equivalent of a Class V auditor in the Church of Scientology, differing only insofar as we work as per the original technology of LRH and without the robotism taught in “Golden Age of Tech” courses.

Ron's Org Frankfurt is proud that we do not only offer auditing and training but our auditors are permanently improving their qualifications. We do not “stew in our own juice” but through our close ties to Ron's Org Bern we include a qualification from an external party.

I have completed the longest course that exists. A great feeling to have studied virtually all the auditing technology in a chronological sequence and to have put all parts of it in relation to each other.

It is hard to estimate what these levels have meant for me, but I think I can say that besides the feeling of a formidable quantity which I have overcome there is also a feeling of having these things at hand. For all possible phenomena of a case which can emerge there are many answers which you as a C/S or auditor can give, and it seems nearly impossible to me that somebody cannot go up the Grades to Clear for technical reasons (I mean technical as opposed to ethical reasons).

My understanding of the technology has grown enormously and my admiration for this whole body of applicable knowledge has risen accordingly. Thanks, Ron – and hopefully many auditors in Ron’s Org will do this training step in the future!
O.K.

This month we had “Dutch weeks” once more – not that we painted everything in orange, and neither did we eat tomatoes and Gouda, but our pcs and students from the Netherlands visited us very eagerly. And after having had a running course room near Rotterdam for quite some time already, our people there now deliver more and more auditing, too. Backing up the auditors trained earlier, now one of our Dutch student auditors has started her internship and audits on the Grades! No doubt this is a real “forming org”, and we of course will continue to help them and support their expansion, so that soon there will be a Ron’s Org in the Netherlands again.

During the course I had several very valuable cognitions which contributed to my handling life – once more – better. The tone scale and the Ruth Minshull’s book which I “inserted“ helped me a lot in that.

Additionally I had the feeling as if a kind of nod was untied and I can now eventually start to do what I intended to do job-wise (and even if it is “only” a first step on the road to what I once really want to do and will do…).

On top of that I realized that I lead my life with more focus on my goals: those things that are helpful are taken along even if they come unplanned, those that do not help or merely inhibit can easily and with no bad afterthoughts etc. be rejected.
Something that influenced my life in a negative way is somehow “broken apart”.

It was a great experience to work at something without an auditor or course supervisor being immediately at my side (physically J ). Judging from the “benefit” this course has given me a lot as I can see it now at the moment. Dear Ulli, thanks a lot.
Marita

Hooray, today I completed the Data Evaluator Course. This really is a very valuable course which I can recommend to everybody.

Already during the course outpoints in my job environment came to my view more and more easily, and of those that had to do with my immediate post I handled most.
My point of view changed into the direction of a data evaluator more and more. Yes, that is what I want to be: A real data evaluator. That was my goal when I first heard about this course.

And today, after having had to do an evaluation for three times in a row after having been flunked, I finally got it (how good there is such a thing as a flunk J ). Now I am a real data evaluator.

Many thanks to all course supervisors that helped.
J.M.

As we had 10 days of org holidays at the end of August, this time the news are rendered for August and September together. The well-deserved time of relaxing was more than made up by other activities. E.g. there was the yearly Convention of the Ron's Org Committee on September 13th/14th, this time organized by Ron's Org Munich. Of course many from Frankfurt participated, and Otfried held a lecture with the title “The Free Will”, about the newest research of neuroscientists and how to interpret it from a Scientologist’s viewpoint. Also during the presentation of the various orgs Ulli presented a slide show and pictured the last two years in our org, including the remodeling of our house. A more extensive review of the Convention will soon be printed in our newsletter and also be published online.

Here you can see two photos taken during the Convention:

Otfried (functioning as translator) with Daniela and Sabine, the organizing team from RO Munich

But of course, there was busy auditing and studying as well! By the way, this quarter of the year we had a highest-ever of completions in the section for auditing on the advanced levels (Operating Thetan levels) – no less than 6!

Finally I completed the Basic Admin Course!

At the end, my “Yes” as a reply to “have I understood the data and can apply them?” was hung up by my not having the concept of being able to write up and to apply an admin scale for areas in life that were really important for me.

So I sat down and began – a little bit strained – to set up the admin scale for three areas which have a meaningful bearing on my life. And lo and behold, after some time these things and how they work began to flow, and they had life in them, my life, and I had the Havingness to say, “Yes, I can do it. And I can apply it in life!”

Apart from that the Basic Admin Course was quite helpful with regards to the administrative department where I work. For example, I can now see errors in the organisational set-up and their effects on the staff very easily, as well as organisational mistakes made by colleagues and seniors themselves. A lot would be achieved if every colleague simply did his job and avoided Dev-T and Q&A.

In a spontaneous way, of the course contents I liked best the philosophy and technology of the org board, how the elements of it can be used and how they work if used skillfully, and how the awareness scale is incorporated in it to improve the conditions of companies, organisations, persons, products, whatever you apply it to, even of states.

Anyhow, to the contrary of my past opinion that administration was something incredibly rigid, a set thing that is irritating, wants to stop people and that is completely unnecessary, in Hubbard’s admin tech and the org board I could find out that administration and organisation are extremely useful, exciting, full of life, relieving, sensible and necessary. Great!

It appears to me that for the first time in my life I got an inkling of what actually is organisation and what it means.

Today I attested to Grade IV. This was the end of a journey that I started in 1992. A journey in the theory and auditing of Scientology. Needless to say that this journey appeared to be full of Q and A and stops, but this year, 2008 I decided to end all those justifications and just go for my purposes to get audited on the Grades and get Clear.

My success story is about what real purpose can do.

With the aid of my auditor Beate we did Grade III, started on Grade IV, where I got the Clear cognition, and continued thereafter to finalize Grade IV with some very interesting computations revealed that I used in my life to “survive.”
That is just what happened, but I can only try to describe the feeling that I got, now all the pieces of the ( this) puzzle seem to be in place. I got to see why I used certain computations and how insidious they were and what I needed to do then in order to correct the havoc I so abberatively created. All that energy spilled in vain!

With a feeling of having lost tons of weight, I now have full faith and know that the road to go is going to be even more challenging and interesting and that this road will lead to a new Ron’s Org in the Netherlands again: my next major purpose.

Thanks to Ron for his Tech, thanks to Ron’s Org Frankfurt for their hospitality and special thanks to Beate, my auditor.

The “avalanche” on the upper bridge is still going on. It was already observed several times that shortly after a completion of a relatively high Operating Thetan level by somebody many other completions lower on the bridge were attested by others. As if there was space created in the theta universe which made it easier for others to expand into it. However it may be, we are happy for our Pre-OTs having wins on the bridge.

By the way, time and again we hear from Pre-OTs who had done Operating Thetan levels in the CoS before and retreaded those courses at our org (mostly because the levels were not taught or C/Sed completely before) that they only now gained a full understanding of what the respective level is all about. The reason is that our checksheets cover enough information to really convey a full picture of the subject, and there is no skimping on data and creating of a big mystery. One example for such a “what do you know!” experience is one of the following success stories.

I have just completed the Operating Thetan 3 Redo.

After having had big wins already on Operating Thetan 2 – 20 years after the first time I did it – the same is true, even more so, after the completion of Operating Thetan 3. Within ca. 40 hours of auditing I could complete a lot of open cycles, covering immense time periods. The result is real calmness and the certainty to finally have completed this level, too. The gain in personal freedom is enormous, and as always on these levels this is not just a first dynamic experience. Once more I realized how important a “clean slate” is to make efficient communication. As well as the importance to walk forward on the bridge with unimpaired intention, without duress and pushing.

Again and again it is impressive that we have this chance here and now to handle our time-track. Especially the broad information on the background of Operating Thetan 3 rendered by Captain Bill gives quite a different reality than the one I had before. Now I really understood how things connect on the time-track and could sort out many earlier factors. Besides realizing what is going wrong in this Sector I also understood the reasons that brought me here, in a much wider context. Now I can really estimate the wins that were given to me during the past 20 years. This is just great.

My thanks go to Ron, Captain Bill, Otfried for his professional support and all “orgers” who helped me in this step.

The Clear Hat was the most interesting course I ever have done. It gave me some answers to questions I had always suspected but noone ever wanted to confirm them. Once more I am amazed at how Ron found out all of that and a remedy on top of it, too! There is nothing in this universe and beyond which is not related to this data.

The answers to the question “What is going on actually in this – our – universe?” are so incredibly interesting that I do not know what to say more.

Now I am very keen to go on the Operating Thetan levels.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
R.K.

June brought not only hot but also very productive days. Most worth mentioning of all we could celebrate the Clear attests of two of our publics! The completion of the lower part of the bridge is not only a nice validation for the road you have travelled so far as a preclear, but it also demarks achieving a new and wonderful state of being.

Another good development took place on the level of the society: one of our staff members visited the University of Goettingen where he lectured in a seminar on Scientology to ca. 50 students about the Free Zone, its history and its relation towards the Church of Scientology. Prof. Gruenschloss of the Faculty of Religious Sciences who held such a seminar for the second time already has been intensively working on Scientology for quite some time, and he appreciated the contact to us the same as we did vice-versa. We will stay in contact with him and support him in his research.

On Dianetics so much happened that I hardly know where to begin and what to write down. One could say it was a big, sometimes very long journey.

There were and are incredible improvements. Recently I have been to the optician, something was wrong with my glasses. He completely lost faith in his profession, how could both eyes improve in a 50-year old without operation, he had never experienced a case like that.

One day I had a noise in my left ear. The ear-specialist said he could do nothing but give me some pills. The cause of it had been loud jet engines, I once had been an aircraft mechanic, amongst other types for the MiG 21 (Russian jet fighter), and overly loud music at concerts. However after Dianetics the noise is gone, simply gone. The ear-specialist probably also wouldn’t understand or believe it.

One day in the middle of Dianetics my girl-friend said to me I was suddenly so nice, whether there was something I wanted from her? I myself hadn’t noticed it, I just noticed that people liked to talk with me. In the yachting club they wanted to make me chairman although in my view I didn’t do anything special.

I have noticed I have become faster an the tone scale, so fast that sometimes I wonder what has happened – if something changes I can often find out the reason. I can again remember things which I had long forgotten, I find solutions for problems much faster, sometimes they are so good I am surprised myself. I like long-term solutions. Additionally I have the impression that I can achieve more in less time if I want.

Recently I often find myself tackling something and getting it done although I had already done everything scheduled for that day, thus my capacities have become bigger. Anyhow, many things have improved, of course also my reality about the past very long ago.

Now I believe that for the first time on my very long time track real changes will take place. You could say I have jumped out of the treadmill.

Thanks a lot to my auditor Otfried, thanks a lot to Ron’s Org Frankfurt, that they exist at all.

Thanks a lot, Ron.
R.K.

Today I attested CLEAR!!!

A fabulous experience that I must reveal to you all.

When I started in Scientology and have read Dianetics a couple of times I got the idea that this apparently beautiful state mental freedom would be hard to get. Only achievable for a happy few.

After actively joining Ron’s Org in Frankfurt and my good friend Jan had audited me on grade II, I started on grade III. These sessions were running great when somewhere in the final sections of the Grade III processes we hit “solid rock” and massive mass was blown that was kept in place by a very “fine” service fac that blew at the same time. We finalised the Grade III processes with great wins, but since that very moment something definitely had changed for the best.
With great energy and interest I continued with my auditor Beate on the grade IV processes. Something in my mind was stirring and at a certain moment in session I got this enormous realisation and cognition of how service facs had been controlling my daily routines and functioning and all of a sudden the whole picture and all its masses blew and I felt FREEDOM.
What a wonderful feeling. I knew suddenly I was clear and the next few weeks I experienced like floating on a cloud in the air, being able to look at anything without any worry at all, still enjoying this gigantic win.
Today on June 8, 2008 exactly 55 years after I was born, I attested CLEAR after having gone through the required steps for clear certainty. The best birthday present anyone ever could have given me.
This is what makes it extra special to me and I can only say how happy I am that I have decided to continue on the “road to clear” and the narrow highway that is called ‘THE BRIDGE”

To all who have gone this path, you probably know what I am talking about. To those yet to go: do not hesitate but do it!

Thanks to everybody, especially Beate, who made this wonder happen.

ARC and much love
P.K.

In May we had quite something going on! First of all many of us were in Switzerland at the traditional full time study camp, offered by Ron’s Org Bern, where students from all countries and from different orgs come together. We studied together, twinned our drills, exchanged experiences and had a lot of fun! This group experience is of course the model for our full-time study weeks in Frankfurt, the next of which is scheduled for September.

Another highlight was our celebration of the 20-year anniversary of Ron’s Org Frankfurt! Actually it was due already in December, because the first time our course room opened its doors was shortly before Christmas 1987. But to celebrate in the warmer time of the year has its definite advantages!

After the obligatory speeches by our CO Ulli (left picture), our C/S Otfried (who had been there at the very start of the org as a student), of Max (right picture) and Erica Hauri from Bern who are with us already for 13 years there was, most important of all, a beautiful gathering.

Another programme item was a cut from a lecture which Captain Bill held 1990 at the Paris convention where he spoke about his first meeting with LRH.

All agreed that we will meet for another celebration in 20 years – and of course in the meantime at all occasions, too!

But in May we also had some nice completions, on the auditing side namely one Clear attest, and what also should be emphasized, on the training side two new course supervisors!

On the 12th of May I attested Clear. I didn’t write a success story as my attest to Dianetics and it’s success story was already enough (so see for info my last success story from the 27th of April this year J). Now I did the Clear Extroversion Rundown, very interesting! I came to realize that although you loose something (when going clear) you also gain something. For me it is a viewpoint on my environment and how much game there is in living! (without things interrupting from the mind). I feel I even have more games than before! Isn’t that interesting??!!
I thank you all, my auditor, C/S, staff of Ron's Org, Ron and CBR for giving us this change! Also Arthur thank you for supporting me!!
ARC / ML S.v.M.

Today I am very glad to have completed the MCSC! If someone had told me one or two years ago that I was going to do it and would make the grade, I nearly wouldn’t have believed him. But this is just the beginning, because now I am to supervise a courseroom “for real”.
I am sure I will have the opportunity to hold this post here in Frankfurt frequently and my goal is to do the same in my home town, Stuttgart.
What makes me enthusiastic about the subject is that it is a third dynamic task and responsibility – after all, us Scientologists want to take care of the technology of LRH and make it available to each individual who wants to find out more about himself, life, relations to others, the things of life and of the physical world, what is true or untrue for him, to work it out and improve it, or to work at a given area like communication, study, auditing and to achieve more skills in it. A course in Scientology is fruitful for many areas of life!
It is beautiful to be able to contribute to this directly as a course supervisor. A comfortable potential and feeling.
Thanks to all supervisors and Scientologists who help me so eagerly in my training!
ARC, I.K.

Spring has come and the way up the bridge has become even more beautiful… seriously – we had some nice completions as you can see below. What was special this month was that after a long pause we delivered once more the “Comm Course 2” in Division 6, i.e. for new people. More commonly known is the Comm Course part 1 where the fundamental parts of communication are trained. In that way one does not only learn a lot about the theory of communication, but in the practical drills one has to do with those things which often make communication difficult in daily life. The second part of the Comm Course however is about intention and control and mastering those factors which often cross our intentions! The participants had a lot of fun and we plan to deliver this course (which is scheduled as a weekend seminar) as soon as possible once more…

I completed here a Progress Program after I had left the Church of Scientology.
Although I didn’t feel bad about my past auditing we could resolve quite a few aspects which I hadn’t suspected. I could clean up ARC Breaks of Long Duration and thus find some postulates that had influenced my existence up to now in a very fundamental way. Besides realizing some subversive conditions of suppression I also could resolve a very definite stop regarding art, namely music.

It was a great experience, I am very happy to have the chance to resolve all this. Thanks to Otfried who audited me “on the spot”, and of course to Ron for the tech and all that were involved.
R.W., 6th April 08

on April 13th, 2008, I attested Grade 0 (Communication) and am totally happy about it J

This Grade gave more space to me, or I recognize the space around me much more precisely. It is like I see much clearer now. I am in contact with my environment more directly and I feel that this connection is free from any restrictions or stresses. Additionally it is now much easier for me to see situations from different points of view and to understand these, too. It is a free and easy communication which I can now embark upon, and I also realized that there are much finer ways of communicating than language – and this is something very exciting and comfortable because this is the way of communication we know; I call it non-verbal communication. It is a real adventure to experience and engage in such a kind of communication and this is what I am looking forward to do J I also know now that I can speak with all and everybody about any subject as I like to. There is nothing that could hinder or stop me… and this gives me infinite power. I can achieve everything!
I want to say thank you at this place to my auditor Beate, with whom I could experience the finer kind of communication J Beate, you are GREAT!
I am looking forward to my further road!

Well, this comes a few months late, but we certainly don’t want to by-pass this one:

Yes, that’s right. Since December 1987 our org has been delivering courses and auditing without interruption. Of course some of the staff members involved changed, but some have been with us from the beginning until today! From 1995 on Erica Hauri from Ron’s Org Bern has been our Senior C/S (i.e. she is doing the senior supervision of the auditing). 1999 the little org of Marianne Frank joined us, and since December 2001 we are constituted as a formally registered association. In 2006 we moved to our new quarters in Karben-Rendel, where there is more space available to us than we ever had!
These were just the most important milestones of our history, and we can be proud to be one of the oldest continually delivering groups of the Free Zone. When hopefully soon a more tender season of the year begins we will of course celebrate our anniversary appropriately!

Success story ARC S/W
Today, 20 March 2008, I was attested on ARC S/W and am completely happy about it.
I have understood that everything is based on communication and that THIS is what happens in us and around us. I also was able to realize the difference between having the viewpoint as a thetan to think you are the body or to know you are a thetan and have a body.
I had some concepts and ideas on what ARC S/W is and how this process looks like and I also had some funny ideas what it means to go up the Grades.
All of that is gone with the wind because the doingness showed me what it really means to run ARC S/W. It means to get into contact with the environment and with myself more and more. And I can tell you that there is really nothing greater and more fantastic :-) I realize that I just become bigger.
I also know that I am more in communication than before and am looking forward how my life will develop :-) I am also looking forward to Grade 0 and to its cognitions!
MANY THANKS BEATE :-)

Success story Dianetics Drug Rundown
On March 2nd I completed the Dianetics Drug Rundown. I have gains in that I have a greater wakefulness and can do the tasks of everyday life more easily.
It is much easier to embark on physical activities. Many negative attitudes are gone. The body is freed of a burden and easier to move. There is a growing calmness on my first dynamic. It is now more stable than in the years before. Sleep lasts longer, my ability to focus has improved, studying has become easier. Problems at the job can be solved faster.
Above those things I have found more of myself and also found out why some things in my life happened the way they did.
The beginning was difficult, but then it become simpler and simpler. There were different phenomena, e.g. an emotional antagonism against Scientology and sometimes the wish to quit, but it made no problem on the technical side.
I want to say thank you especially to my auditor Julia who got me through difficult times and never let me down.

For the first time after a long break from February 11th to 17th we offered a full-time study week which was received very well by the students. Especially those from out of town took advantage of that offer, and thus about 20 persons from four different countries were on course or in session during that week. Some students were even doing Hard TRs. Here you can see a picture of our course room during the study week:

Our intention is to supplement the supra-org study camps in Switzerland and Russia at least twice a year by offering a study week for our students in Frankfurt. Of course those from out of town who want to come for a longer stretch in one go still can, by individual agreement with us, benefit from study times from Monday to Wednesday, additionally to our regular study schedule from Thursday to Sunday.

On February 9th, 2008, I completed the Dianetics Drug Rundown.
At first, it was nothing more than a prescribed step for me which I would have preferred to omit. After all, I never have been a “junkie” and was convinced that I wouldn’t need that.
Now I found out that a big difficulty in my life disappeared into thin air which I actually had no longer realized was there, so much it had become a part of my life. I had not even mentioned it: The constant tiredness which made me sleep away half my life, my plans, chances and contact.
Thus it is rather something I lost than something I gained. I want to thank especially Beate for this “loss” and for everything else which I can hardly name and even less enumerate.

Today I completed grade 0.
While I was doing this grade my willingness to create and receive communication has been largely improved.
In the past I often had considerations about whether or not I should generate communication, and in specific situations I couldn’t stand the idea of focussing attention on myself by generating comm.
By doing the grade 0 processes my comm has become less enforced and much more natural to me.
I like to thank all staff members of Ron’s Org Frankfurt, but especially my auditor Lothar for their help in achieving this success!
