Dear Reset Timer and Cosmic Historian,
You will have received last week the last item on the last round of occasional email emanations of the Cosmic History (including Reset Time) Series. I am archiving them at http://www.cosmichistory.info and there they will stay to the end of time, or until some unforeseen event occurs. After this posting (could be called a postscript, or the last convulsion before my compulsion to emanate is finally handled) silence will reign.
The following is a letter I wrote to a friend who was possibly a little unhappy about the idea of living in a prison planet (or universe - Pilot has talked of prison planets).
******************
Dear ,
In a recent letter you wrote [as part of the "Mission Statement" for the firm he was creating]:
That is interesting, and presumably based on the Pilot's (and other's) idea that this is a prison universe.
I had a similar urge to do something about it 12 years ago, and wrote an article (under the pseudonym James Moore, which you will find at http://www.ivymag.org/supplement/56/56.pdf page 6). Briefly, the idea was to get together a bunch of people aware of the (supposed) prison planet situation, who would work together to postulate (create) a new and better universe (that is, a universe not connected to the time/space of this universe), which would not have the flaws supposedly laid into this one by the Jewel of Knowledge etc., we having found out what those (and possibly other) flaws were.
Actually I consider the Pilot a supreme writer (in patches, anyway). People especially those who are Star Wars and/or Science Fiction oriented can be tempted to lower their critical powers for the sake of exciting stories.
Studying Ron's Data Series, you find a list of key out points (omit a fact, change sequence of events, drop out time, add a falsehood, alter importance).The one which is the most difficult to spot is missing data (or missing anything).
It is very difficult to "see" something that is missing!
In going through Cosmic History a number of times over the years, I noticed that there appeared in the account instances of a new universe being named. Missing is how these universes got there and in many cases who created it is missing. Surely a vital part of a good history?
I have described ( http://cosmichistory.info/articledetails.php?id_art=48 ) how I got intrigued wondering what events led up to the creation of this universe and ("what you put your attention on you get") I got a revelation. Summarising it very briefly, the Magic Universe had got very monotonous (boring) so there was the idea of this universe which we then created. In other words we are here of our own free will, having [completely voluntarily] not known that we have agreed to come here of our own free will. The idea of not know as something different from forget was looked at fairly thoroughly in Scientology some time in the 50's. I have not heard much of it in recent decades
Take a look at this.
The Pilot talked about a "prison breakout" (under the heading Reset Time http://cosmichistory.info/articledetails.php?id_art=57 CTRL F search for " In the year 1987 of that earlier cycle" ) where a group of Scientologists got together and worked on taking over the "prison mechanism". Perhaps this did happen. The power of a group postulating together on something has not been tried in Scientology, so far as I know. But I suspect that Ron and followers had this "persecution complex" even then. They believed they were in a prison, developed powers greater than we have now, and did nearly break out. But what if this is not a prison planet? What if, working from some "layer" or "place" in the Magic Universe a group worked together, built this universe and built earth into a playing field to play on, then after it had been set up, some of them Not Knew all that [for themselves] and came here to play, while others maintained the playing field, possibly with the agreement that in due course it would be their turn to play? While blabbering a lot about the potential power of a single OT, we Scientologist's ignore the potential power of a group of thetans working together
This can be difficult to believe, but look at this (quoting Ron from a passage no longer in Scientology 0-8, see: http://www.antology.info/articledetails.php?id_art=29 )
Actually "Considerations take rank over the mechanics of space, energy, and time." is the basis of Scientology (and Dianetic) auditing, and also the idea behind what many consider an operating thetan, so what is there strange about a group of thetans getting together and creating the MEST universe, and having done so, tucking away a copies of it at certain times for use as a backup, should such be needed?
Some stray thoughts before I leave you. I know rather little about the Magic Universe. For one thing I do not know that we lived "lives" limited by death [there], and forgetting. It is quite possible that when in the magic universe we could remember way back to before it was set up. Before we came to the physical universe we were faced with the prospect of doing things we had done before (we had run out of new things to do) and remembered how it went earlier - no fun in that. It might have been so dull, that the prospect of "forgetting" (not knowing) it all, and experiencing something so dreadful as life in Syria at the moment, living in a time of Ebola or AIDS epidemic or being a young child with two drunken parents was preferable to continuing in the Magic Universe.
We can guess?
But it leaves me with a rather philosophical attitude. I am in this universe (and lucky enough not to be in Syria) so why not have a fun game here. Enjoy a degree of unpredictability not known in recent millions of Centuries previously in the Magic Universe, where everything was predictable.
All best wishes,
Antony - retired Cosmic Historian

see https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pwwrjloaz3wgfb7/AACJQCov7f8G_UfZLHnD-Kina?dl=0 for Ron talking about: "That to which he devotes energy" (You can search for that on the transcript)
This is on PDC lecture 24, and as a parting shot I am going to devote energy to telling you a story about it. A few weeks ago I wanted to write to someone and recommend that lecture (which is at the moment on my dropbox, so I can recommend it). Before recommending it, I thought I would listen to it. Did so from the beginning, and Oh My Goodness what a gloomy first half hour. In fact at one point Ron interrupts himself and says to his PDC audience "You're awfully...looking awfully gloomy. Don't tell me that I'm hitting...hitting home with this."
If you listen to the recorded lecture, you will hear that he does come to the point. I listened to it a few times, puzzling this - Ron is more famous in Scientology as the bringer of good news - "We have made another astounding breakthrough" sort of thing. Why all that gloom at the beginning of the lecture?
I have for years had another mystery about Ron's lectures. He goes on for an hour (later, in the Saint Hill days, and hour and a half) - nearly every time. Sixty minutes was the length of reel to reel tapes at the beginning of his lecturing career. I am pretty sure they were not edited down to that length - some small editing first occurred, I think, when they first had to shorten them to get onto standard cassette tapes.
And then the penny dropped (I saw "the light" - cognited!). Ron is somewhat maligned by critics for being "a Science Fiction Writer". In fact he was not only a writer of Science Fiction, he wrote lots of different types of short fiction for pulp magazines. He was successful. He may have complained a bit (there are few who do not, he needed straightwire run on him, but it had not been invented) but he earned a living writing fiction for "pulp" magazines in the depression years. He wrote many. He practised many times building up suspense, things getting worse and worse for the hero, and just when he had reached the number of words his editor had commissioned came the climax, the hero triumphed, no doubt against impossible odds, probably with a cleverly thought up turn of events. Editors were no fools. They stayed in business selling magazines with material that sold, despite shortages of money. They had no time for writers who were not popular.
I recommend you going to https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pwwrjloaz3wgfb7/AACJQCov7f8G_UfZLHnD-Kina?dl=0 and looking at this lecture from this viewpoint.

***************************************
(Could be that the following is my last parting shot to members of the Cosmic History list ( remember we now have a site, which you can find at www.cosmichistory.info ).
Fairly basic in Scientology philosophical think it the idea that time is basically an illusion. I have come to live with that idea (after some incredibility) but I have not had first hand experience of it. Recently I came across some one who has experienced it and she does her best to explain in some You Tube videos she has given. I guess it is best to go to YouTube and search her name: anita moorjani . To my knowledge she has no connection with Scientology. She reports the same experience a number of times, coming up with different details. Hers is just a near death experience.
All best wishes,
Ant

******************
Dear ,
In a recent letter you wrote [as part of the "Mission Statement" for the firm he was creating]:
the goal of deconstruction of this universe as "punishment universe", repair ethics, free games, etc.
That is interesting, and presumably based on the Pilot's (and other's) idea that this is a prison universe.

- Quoting myself:
- Two, based on the results of one, the long term goal of building a universe for enlightened people which would lead to universes with existences nearer to the earlier universes.
Actually I consider the Pilot a supreme writer (in patches, anyway). People especially those who are Star Wars and/or Science Fiction oriented can be tempted to lower their critical powers for the sake of exciting stories.

- Considerations take rank over the mechanics of space, energy, and time. ... The aspects of existence when viewed from the level of Man, however, is a reverse of the greater truth above for Man works on the secondary opinion that mechanics are real, and that his own personal considerations are less important than space, energy, and time. This is an inversion.
Actually "Considerations take rank over the mechanics of space, energy, and time." is the basis of Scientology (and Dianetic) auditing, and also the idea behind what many consider an operating thetan, so what is there strange about a group of thetans getting together and creating the MEST universe, and having done so, tucking away a copies of it at certain times for use as a backup, should such be needed?
