Things have been very hush around here, with an apparency of inaction, while much has been going on underground.
I see the Independent Scientology field very much like an underground network of renegades, talented rebels, and hopefuls. While the monopoly of Corp Scientology certainly had an iron grip twenty years ago, over recent times, as more and more people depart (very publically or quietly sliding off the radar) the grip has significantly loosed.
LRH states in more than one reference that it is a two terminal universe. There MUST be two of something and then energy can flow, and you can get discharge. In fact, it is this point that enables auditing to work. He details this in Basic Auditing Series 1, THE MAGIC OF THE COMMUNICATION CYCLE. I actually want to post the whole reference here, as it is significant to what I am talking about:
If you look over communication you will find that the magic of communication is about the only thing that makes auditing work.
The Thetan in this universe has begun to consider himself MEST and has begun to consider himself mass and the being that considers himself mass of course responds to the laws of electronics and the Laws of Newton. He is actually incapable of generating very much or as-ising very much.
An individual considers himself MESTy or massy and therefore he has to have a second terminal. A second terminal is required to discharge the energy.
Here we have two poles. We have an auditor and a pc and as long as the auditor audits and the pc replies we get an exchange of energy from the pc’s point of view.
Many auditors think they are being a second terminal to the degree that they pick up the somatics and illnesses of the pc. Actually there is no backflow of any kind that hits the auditor but if he is so convinced that he is MEST he will turn on somatics in echo of the pc. Actually nothing hits the auditor, it has to be mocked up or envisioned by him.
You have set up in essence a two pole system and that will bring about an as-ising of mass.
It isn’t burning the mass, it is as-ising the mass and that’s why there is nothing hitting the auditor.
Now that is the essence of the situation. The magic involved in auditing is contained in the communication cycle of auditing. You see now you are handling the SMOOTH INTERCHANGE BETWEEN THESE TWO POLES.
When you look over the difficulties of auditing realize that you are handling simply the difficulties of the communication cycle and when you yourself as the auditor do not permit A SMOOTH FLOW BETWEEN YOU AS A TERMINAL AND THE PC AS A TERMINAL, AND THE PC AS A TERMINAL BACK TO YOU, you get a no as-ising of mass. So you don’t get TA action.
Part of the trick of course is what has to be as-ised and how do you go about it, but that we call technique—(what button has to be pressed). We find, oddly enough, if the auditor is actually capable of making the pc willing to talk to him, he wouldn’t have to hit a button to get tone arm action. (He cannot make the pc get tone arm action basically because a communication cycle doesn’t exist.)
The person who is insisting continuously upon a new technique is neglecting the basic tool of his auditing which is the communication cycle of auditing.
When the communication cycle does not exist in an auditing session we get this horrible compounding of a felony of trying to get a technique to work but the technique cannot be administered because there is no communication cycle to administer it.
Basic auditing is called basic auditing because it goes PRIOR to the technique.
A communication cycle must exist before the technique can exist.
The fundamental entrance to the case is not on a level of the technique but is on a level of the communication cycle.
Communication is simply a familiarization process based on reach and withdraw.
When you speak to a pc you are reaching. When you cease to speak you are withdrawing. When he hears you, he’s at that moment a bit withdrawn but then he reaches toward you with the answer.
You’ll see him go into a withdraw while he thinks it all over. Then he reaches the reason. Now he will reach the auditor with the reason and he will say that was it.
You have made an exchange from the pc to the auditor and will see it reflect on the meter because that exchange now is giving an as-ising of energy.
IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT COMMUNICATION YOU DO NOT GET METER ACTION.
So THE FUNDAMENTAL OF AUDITING IS THE COMMUNICATION CYCLE. That’s the fundamental of auditing and that is really the great discovery of Dianetics and Scientology.
It’s such a simple discovery but you realize that nobody knew anything about it.” LRH
Now on a 1st dynamic, for a person to unravel the confusions, questions and mysteries relating to Corp Scientology, requires communication. For this very reason we have blogs, forums and networks of people across the planet, each trying to communicate their way through the charge relating to Corp Scientology. They are at varying tone levels, and on many subjects – but from a big picture view, they are all trying to achieve the same – discharge of the upset, confusions, disagreements and BPC related to Corporate Scientology. Some lucky people have access to a trained auditor, and this has been their salvation. Others have built up so much upset that they would refuse an auditor if it was offered, yet they continue to try and itsa the subject on networks to others in a similar position.
On a 3rd dynamic basis, the same principle applies. There are all manner of groups (loose or organized), networks, communities and associations relating to Scientology outside the Church. Corp Scientology would have you believe otherwise. They will have you believe that there is nothing but a fragmented bunch of squirrels existing in the field – but that is not so. In fact, that is what they work to achieve by running “operations” direct from Corp Scientology Office of Special Affairs (OSA) to spread dissention, third party, and rancour. As long as there is no organized, well structured group, applying standard Scientology, then they have their monopoly, and with that they have control and money. So as more and more individuals have departed the money hungry Corporate Scientology in recent times, their desperate efforts to hold that position have escalated.
All their efforts are essentially to prevent that communication between groups from occurring. Their efforts are to get the 3rd dynamic “preclear” out of session, not wanting a session, or in apathy that no session is possible anyway. “They are all a bunch of squirrels”, “Wacked out tech in the Freezone”, “KSW crazies”, etc.
To the degree that Corporate Scientology can keep those in the field OUT of communication, they can prevent truth from being found. Heck, a perfect example of this at the moment is Mike Rinder’s blog, which is exposing daily the propaganda that Corporate Scientology feeds its parishioners. Mike is essentially establishing a communication line with the “other terminal” (those still within Corporate Scientology), and to that degree, charge is blown. Case gain is possible – as lies are dispelled, and truth outs. When you have an organization that cuts all communication with people, excommunicating any that do not follow the sound of the drum, then it is very hard to establish another terminal that can get the communication going to the result of case change – particularly on a hard nut suppressive case like Corporate Scientology. But Mike is doing it. My hat is off to him and his work. I support him in any way I can.
Similarly, on a broader scale, we need to get the communication lines opened in the independent field. We need to find unity where there has been rancor and conflict. We need to establish a community – fraternity actually – which is a second terminal, of comparable magnitude to Corporate Scientology. That evens things out – gets the energy flowing – and will result in CHANGE.
With this view, there is such a fraternity launching in the next few weeks. There are no qualifications for membership – other than agreeing with the purposes and objectives of the group, and paying a very low membership fee. There are no requirements of production, or activity. And you do not have to be a “Scientologist” waving a flag on top of your house and boldly telling the world that you have the answers to the universe, life and everything.
The key aim in establishing this fellowship, is to create the much needed “second terminal” to Corporate Scientology. It is not about collecting the ‘Who’s Who” of the independent field in one group – though there have been a significant number of well known veterans who have assisted to get the basic ground work in place for the launch. And it really is not about personalities or “leaders” – as our view is that if there is a basic framework, structure and organization, then we have enough dynamic individuals, Clears and OTs that can get projects of their own choice coordinated and rolling. In fact, we are convinced of this point.
The key is to create that communication and unity in the field. Something that Corporate Scientology so desperately works to undermine and sabotage.
So again, excuse the “quietness” on the iScientology blog in recent weeks. There is a group forming – of renegades, talented rebels, misfits, mischievous rascals and hopefuls. You are all most welcome to be a part of it… in fact, I strongly recommend it for therapeutic value. J

“As the only crime in the universe seems to be to communicate, and as the only saving grace of an awareness of awareness unit is to communicate, we can readily understand that an entanglement of communication is certain to result. What we should understand – and much more happily – is that it can now be resolved.”

The church doesn't have a terminal of comparable magnitude to communicate with, mostly because we on the outside have not formed into one. As long as we're scattered to the four winds, and only communicating amongst ourselves as first dynamics, there isn't a beingness of comparable magnitude to confront the church, and demand that it get its ethics in.
There's no beingness there to act as an auditor - one which could be a safe terminal for individual church members who feel there's no one to talk to.
No beingness there that can act as a sister group - one which can lead by example with better products, and higher stats.
No beingness there to reform the tattered image of the religion by showing the world what its honestly capable of.
I like what you're proposing, Lana. In it, I visualize a rebirth of the Scientology third dynamic in a more perfect form than what it's been within the mother church these last few decades. One which looks and behaves a lot more like those who've chosen freedom and personal integrity, over the mind numbing enslavement of that now corrupt organization.
Reminders that this is a two-terminal universe are always welcome. I offer the mischievous comment that anyone who tries to set themselves up as a monopoly, monolith or monarch with no terminal of comparable magnitude is acting on a misconception that they're in some other universe.
And enforced secrecy is like an insulator that prevents energy from discharging between a pair of terminals.
All mischievous comments are welcome!

BTW,I am going to pay with a credit card I never told the church about-and there you have my mischievous leanings...Ha ha!
Ah, true BASICS are so powerful!
Thanks.
Anytime you address the renegades, rebels and misfits it is like my name has been called.....
Count me in.

Open, honest, comm directed toward survival across the Dynamics, that's "live".
Dang. What a wonderful group of beings I know. P3pnh
This is awesome news. I look forward to "fraternizing" :-)
I have heard concerns that the Co$ can more easly attack an organized group, but really the only thing we really have to fear is fear itself.Being on SOLO NOTs, I feel quite fearless.
A third dynamic or group is simply a bunch of people with common purposes. Agreeing on common purposes and a few common realities is a good place to start. This could build ARC between all of our fellow Scientologists, and the action of doing that, in itself, would form a true group of Scientolgists.
Sounds good. I like it. :-)

I have to take issue with the praise of Rinder's blog though.
It may have started out as a blog to inform the public of corporate Scn propoganda, but just reading the comments section is awful.
I stopped going there many, many months ago it was awful
It looks like a bunch of raving loonies who have never had any kind of case gain and so many not even had any auditing at all.
Just a lot of natter and HE&R
I hope it does not get like that here.
The ex-Scn message board is the place for the raving loonies and SP's. not informative sites and blogs
I was left to sink to the bottom of the ocean by Corp Scientology 20 years ago, and I would have, and did refuse auditing.
Now I am more alive than ever, flying, with no more processing than having read these web pages.
