Från: FZBA Scandinavia Ämne: FZ Bible - Anatomy of Cause 31/31 Datum: den 24 januari 2000 11:19 THE ANATOMY OF CAUSE (16th ACC) - PART 31 OF 31 Brought to you by: FreeZone Bible Association of Scandinavia *Please see Part 00 for the Introduction & Contents =================================================== STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Our purpose is to promote religious freedom and the Scientology Religion by spreading the Scientology Tech across the internet. The Cof$ abusively suppresses the practice and use of Scientology Tech by FreeZone Scientologists. It misuses the copyright laws as part of its suppression of religious freedom. They think that all freezoners are "squirrels" who should be stamped out as heretics. By their standards, all Christians, Moslems, Mormons, and even non-Hassidic Jews would be considered to be squirrels of the Jewish Religion. The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings of Judaism form the Old Testament of Christianity. We might not be good and obedient Scientologists according to the definitions of the Cof$ whom we are in protest against. But even though the Christians are not good and obedient Jews, the rules of religious freedom allow them to have their old testament regardless of any Jewish opinion. We ask for the same rights, namely to practice our religion as we see fit and to have access to our holy scriptures without fear of the Cof$ copyright terrorists. We ask for others to help in our fight. Even if you do not believe in Scientology or the Scientology Tech, we hope that you do believe in religious freedom and will choose to aid us for that reason. Thank You, The FZ Bible Association =================================================== APPENDIX [for Lectures 16 - 29] List of Games Conditions and No-Games Conditions The Havingness Scale The Reality Scale GAMES CONDITION NO-GAMES CONDITION KNOWING OR UNKNOWING KNOWING OR UNKNOWING Not Know Know Forget Remember Interest Disinterest Attention No Attention Self-determinism Pan-determinism Identity Namelessness Individuality Problems Solutions Can't Have Have (games have some havingness) Alive Neither Alive nor Dead Opponents Friends Alone Facsimiles No Pictures or Universes Continued Solidity No Spaces or Solids Continued Adherence Loyalty, Disloyalty, No Friends or Enemies Betrayal, Help Motion No Motion Emotion Serenity Continued Action Motionless Hot No Temperature Cold Thinking Knowing Hate (some love) Continued Doubt of Result Win-Lose (expecting a revelation) No Effect on Self Effect on Self Effect on Others No Effect on Others Stop Communication No ARC Change Communication No No-ARC Into It Out of it Agitation Calm Noise Silence (some silence) Control No Control Start-Change-Stop (Change, the most important) Responsibility No Responsibility (From Washington, D.C., Briefing Bulletin for Games Congress, August 31-September 3, 1956) THE HAVINGNESS SCALE (From HCOB 3 December 1956) Create Contribute to Confront Have Substitute Waste Substituted Had Confronted Contributed to Created TONE REALITY SCALE (From Scientology 0-8) 40-20 Postulates 20-4 Consideration 4-2 Agreements 1.5 Solid Terminals 1.1 Terminals Too Solid Lines Solid 1-.5 No Terminal Solid Lines .5-.1 No Terminal Less Solid Line .1 No Real Terminal No Solid Line Substitute Terminal 0.0 No Terminal No Line ================================ GLOSSARY [for Lectures 16 - 29] ACC NUMBER 1: the first of a series of Advanced Clinical Courses taught by L.
