this is true.  even with the wide variety of wacky 'courses' one
can be suckered into by the loon-cult, it is pretty much universal 
for anyone, no matter what their problem, to be recommended a 
'comm course' which presumably lets you communicate with anyone.


what it really does is give you a creepy stare that looks like
something from _dawn of the dead_.  it puts people off and this
is its point.  since nobody wants to talk to a zombified fool, 
regardless of any kind of robotic smile, the cult uses NEW 
recruits to suck in new people.  if people got to see the more
degraded and brainwashed culties first-off, they'd run screaming.


this is why the comm course is the first course they give you:
it's basically 'speed brainwashing,' intended to take advantage
of vulnerable, suggestible people.  


depression?  a comm course.  


bad life situation?  a comm course.


smoking?  a comm course.  


it is evident that this is lunacy, and the surest identifying sign
of wigged-out snake-oil lunacy is this kind of 'one solution fixes
EVERYTHING' approach.


same with purif.  


bad health?  purification rundown.


still jonesing for all those drugs you took in past
lives?  purification rundown.


smack freak?  purification rundown.


ONE SIZE FITS ALL!

and in the case of $cientology, often they're considerably worse.


the purpose of this 'tech' isn't to work but to convince you that
it does by continuous brainwashing and gestapo tactics like the
rpf.  if the 'tech' doesn't work on someone, they blame the person.
never mind that the auditor might have screwed it up.  never mind
that it might be because the 'tech' is a crock of shit.  if it
doesn't work, it's YOUR fault, and it's rice 'n' beans and a gray
rag for your sorry ass.

as typical with hubbard's lies, he claims to solve problems
that he himself had.  when he had an ulcer, he claims to have cured it.
in this case, the rpf exists to handle 'psychotics,' and of course
hubbard himself was a psychotic, and died a screaming, raving PTS III
loony, begging not to be turned over to the CIA and bellowing for
more painkillers.

often catatonia is a physiologically-related phenomenon 
which results not from a decision to adopt catatonia but
an inability to be otherwise.

this is pretty imbecilic.  


'manic' and 'catatonic' have nothing to do with how much
noise you make, and only a quack and a charlatan would even
think of making such a claim.  


hubbard was an idiot.

all will NOT roller coaster.  catatonics can remain in a 
catatonic state for years or forever, and catatonia is not 
related to mania, itself not a valid diagnostic label but
a _symptom_.  catatonia that results from schizophrenia 
is an entirely different thing than catatonia that results 
from brain-damage.  


hubbard was evidently too ignorant and pathetically misinformed
to know this, or was, as was is wont, deeply in his cups when
he wrote this.


the ignorance of hubbard on practically any subject, combined
with his willingness to spout the babblings of an idiot on it 
anyway, combine to form a melange of the most incredible whoppers
and lies, laughable lunacy and smug pronouncements ever assembled.

lunacy.  flat out untrue.

it's typical of hubbard to spout such idiocy.
