The NEW F/N (Today's Squirreled Technology)

The NEW F/N (Today's Squirreled Technology)
10 Feb 2004

I am re-writing this, as I am constantly finding myself telling people who used to be in years ago about what occurred while I was on OT 7, in the late '90's.

This is mostly for the auditors, and tech trained people. Others can use it to ask people about "Standard Tech", and how it has changed -- as remember, in Keeping Scientology Working, Hubbard is VERY strong that No one can alter or change the tech.

ok, here goes:

Hubbard wrote a bulletin called.

"Are you Waiting for the Meter to Play Dixie?"

This was an entire bulletin about people staring at the meter, waiting for a read, vs. listening to the PC and hearing their "win," seeing the very good indicators, and the needle floating, and indicating the F/N.

The opposite he said would be staring at it, waiting for the needle to "Float better", and thus invalidating the pc's gains, and losing the F/N.

Ok, so in the late '90's, here's what happened. On the Flag Land Base were these top secret people being trained in some top secret stuff (later to be announced the totally squirrel "Golden Age of Crap"). We would go into session, come out to go to the examiner as always.

Usually, one sits down, picks up the cans, says "I had a GREAT session" (Or something like that, a win) and the examiner would briefly glance at the meter, and say, "Thank you, your needle is Floating".

That was it. (IF by chance it wasn't -- which was rare -- it was "Red Tagged" which meant it had to be fixed within 24 hours. And keep in mind, this also entailed paying for the correction at $7,000 per 12 and one half hours of auditing!).

Ok, now I went into session, came out, and they had a new Examiner. As always, I picked up the cans, and said, "I had a great session".

What did the Examiner do?

STARED AT THE METER!

That seemed odd, so I repeated it: "Ya, it was an excellent session".

What happened then?

Examiner: Stared at the meter!

So I look up, thinking of something I liked in the session, figuring this is weird, but she'll get it.

She? Stared at the meter!

Finally, after over a minute, sometimes more, she says, "Thank you".

Now I'm pissed. Thank you? What the F*** is this??? (No F/N meaning I had to go to review to "Fix" something that wasn't broken!)

I go to get the Tech sec to ask,

"What is This BS?"

(as things were changing at a rapid rate in those days, so each time more weird stuff would be run on us).

I said, "That totally violated Ron's PL: 'Are you waiting for the meter to play Dixie' --- she just kept staring at it!"

The Tech sec told me; "ya, I know. A lot of the OT 7's are upset with this, exp those such as yourself who are trained. However, we've found each time there WAS something they forgot to tell their auditor, or a tiny thing they still had their attention on".

Mine I think was I felt the room had gotten chilly, and didn't mention that. Total BS because now when I went back to the Examiners, I'd really lost that original "win" and just wanted to get through this weirdo ness. (And for you idiots hoping to jump on me and "Prove" I had withholds: BULLSHIT. Your idiotic group had ALTERED the tech! What do you say about that?)

We had to live with these idiots, who refused to follow LRH, and wanted us to pay for their "corrections" of something not broken. You talk about pissed off people? You got it!

Ok, so we'd go back in session, tell them something, return, to do the above -- AGAIN -- and finally, after the Examiner again staring at the Meter.... she's say:

"Thank you, your needle is floating".

(And for those from the old days, remember how the Examiner always smiled? Well, not so with these new "highly trained" robotic kids. They always frown, too, like they're mad at you or something. I think they're caught up in their own fear, as ALL exams are now video taped, and IF they miss call it, they're tech lives are on the line.)

It sucked, big time. So due to we all being up in arms over the changing of an F/N, and violating this HCOB written by LRH, what did Flag do?

"You ALL have to re-do your OT 6 meter drills and pass them flawlessly".

This included, of course, the re-learning of the NEW Definition of F/N. The needle HAS to go back, and forth, and back and fourth. If not at least two times, from side to side it's no longer considered an F/N.

Also, keep in mind, we all had to stay on the Flag Land Base and pay at the least, $500 for a shared room, as well as their highly overpriced food, zero TV's as well as paying for "Cramming" on a daily basis -- while re-learing this BS. So we had to pay to get corrected about this BS alteration of a very basic tool in auditing, the F/N!

For those unfamiliar with this, "in the old days" the auditor or examiner first listened to the pc, and looked at their indicators. If they were bright and happy, "winning" This meant a lot. Next if the needle "floated" over to the right, that was always called as an F/N, considering the pc had "VGI's" or Very Good Indicators. They would quickly smile and Indicate, "Your needle is floating" :)

That is a total change of the tech, and NOT one for the better, as witnessed by all the pissed off OT 7's.

Just thought you all might want to know.

My best :)
