I have nearly 60 years of experience with Scientology to draw on.  My first Scientology certificate, HPA (Hubbard Professional Auditor) from London in 1956 has two seals on it.  The first came with the certificate, the second was added  a few years later. Ron at that time talked about "seeing how far south we could go", meaning really how bad a case could we handle.  He developed at that time something he called "Tone 40" processing, and particularly what were known as CCH 1-4.  The extra seal on my certificate says "Validated for Advanced Processes, 1957" and refers to what we call the CCHs. I reckoned I had understood the principles involved and the test came in the 90s, when (thrown out of the "Church") I was auditing privately and rather alone, no Internet then, I was on Fido net. I had audited a fellow rather successfully  (whole track three flow engrams, Roman arena incidents).  He came to me because his girl friend had a problem. Frequently men's heads would turn into lion's heads for her, and this was accompanied by deep terror.  He had tried engram running unsuccessfully, and asked if would I take over the case.  In fact it was not a case you would normally handle alone, but I was alone! With some misgivings, I accepted,  with the conviction that the CCHs were the only tool I knew appropriate. I had to cope with the woman rather neurotically ringing me up between sessions, and the man also ringing demanding I run engrams. In the first session she collapsed on the sofa as my head had turned into a lion’s head for her, and she experienced terror. I ran her on CCHs 1-4 for 40 hours, and after that (to test whether the "lion's head" situation was handled  I ran 7 hours  "Book and Bottle" (Opening Procedure by Duplication, on the same day, with only a few short breaks) without any "lion's head" problem. I probably would not do that sort of case again, without some support, but the exact methodology should not die, and I am willing to communicate more on the matter privately.

== Brief Autobiography ==
+
  
Born: 31st December 1929 (and thus survived about two hours of the roaring twenties), in Cowes, Isle of Wight, England.
+
My first training (to HPA) was before grades came out, but I was given (or awarded) a Class V when (as a Saint Hill UK Staff member) I took the upper level of the Briefing Course.  In 1980 to 1982 I took two levels of the Briefing Course as it was then, and then the Happiness Rundown (HRD) Course and Internship. The majority of the  HRD Course and the internship was concerned with the basics of auditing – very good course and internship.
  
Nationality: British (since 1969 resident in Denmark where dual nationality is, broadly speaking, not allowed).
+
I have also had other successes.  I'll just give one here, verbatim. It is a success story for Scientology as much as for me as auditor:
  
No spouse, no children (three monogamous 2Ds, the first homosexual, the other two bisexual).
+
==== Succes Story ====
  
Sixty years active in (meta)Scientology.
+
:I was in my late thirties when I got the phone call from one of my sisters telling me my father was dead. My reaction to the news was, “Good, the World will be a better place without him”.
 +
:
 +
:Shortly after I became suicidally depressed. And as time went by I began to notice that I was behaving in ways that I remembered my father had. I also remembered my promise to my self, made when I was 16 years old, “that I would kill myself rather than be anything like him”.
 +
:
 +
:After a few months of fighting my depression alone I received Dianetic auditing in Copenhagen. I also took various courses, the only one I remember is the communication course which I have to say is THE ONE that broke my depression. To be fair all the various aspects of what I was doing at that time contributed, the Dianetic auditing was excellent :-)
 +
:
 +
:My Dianetic auditor was KL [full name withheld]. That name is one that I remember with gratitude :-) K left the org shortly after he audited me and I vaguely remember it was not on good terms (I may be mistaken about that). I remember K well, but I do not remember the names of ANY of the other people I met there.
 +
:
 +
:During the period of post-depression euphoria (no exaggeration) I went on to get further (and much more expensive) auditing, but did not get anything worth noting out of it. I regard that as a total waste of time and money. During this time I also volunteered to work in the org running the book store. This contact gave me valuable insight in to what was actually going on, and I got totally disgusted with the whole thing and left.
 +
:
 +
:Shortly after, I met Antony and even though my depression was gone I still had huge life problems caused by my relationship with my father – Yes, he was dead – but the relationship and its effect on me was not.
 +
:
 +
:Antony helped me in many more ways than he realises :-)
 +
:
 +
:We made huge inroads into my “father” problem, paving the way for the eventual resolution that came years later.
 +
:
 +
:My son, probably would not have been conceived without the auditing I got from Antony that helped me overcome the conflicts I had about becoming a father myself.
 +
:
 +
:About my Mother, I was 10 years old when I was placed in an orphanage. After what seemed like an eternity (time is relative, I was there a little under a year, but every day felt like forever) of trying to exist in the Hell that was St. Vincent's Orphanage [in England], with absolutely no contact with anybody from my family, not even a letter... my father came to visit and told me he would take me out of the orphanage but ONLY IF I PROMISED I WOULD NEVER SPEAK ABOUT OR TRY TO CONTACT MY MOTHER.
 +
:
 +
:I made that promise. And then buried it, deep, where I would not have to look at it.
 +
:But even though forgotten, I was bound and gagged by it.
 +
:
 +
:After about 30 years of not being able to contact my mother and not understanding why I could not, auditing with Antony dug up the forgotten promise, I looked at it and eventually laughed at it. The next day I got my mothers address from a relative and wrote her a letter. Shortly after she came to visit me.
 +
:
 +
:Many times we would get in to something that was bothering me deeply, and end by finding it to be hysterically funny and having a good belly laugh about how I could have had a problem with it.
 +
:
 +
:One other thing I must tell about is – During auditing with Antony, I often experienced states of expanded consciousness.
 +
:
 +
:One example. I remember asking for a break so that I could stand out on the balcony and just be with the experience of being all life. I remember it, but cannot process it now with normal consciousness, impossible to describe, but life changing :)
  
Went to English private schools until 17 years old (changed school a bit because of war).
+
==== (back to Antony promoting himself) ====
  
Trained evening courses as an optician.
+
Case wise, I started OT III eleven years before I finished it because NOTs came out (1968-1978).  I survived that and some years of audited and solo NOTs that followed.  Lots of experience there.  Also a vigorous skepticism over the various "case labels" that have been introduced from the beginning of Scientology and the apparent evaluations found in some of the OT levels.
  
Two years, 60 days national Service as a conscientious objector in the Friends Ambulance Unit International Service.
+
If any thing of what I have said interests you, you are welcome to contact me, just for a friendly chat, more than service.  I am semi-retired with an adequate pension, and  receiving small bits of money gives me too much admin trouble with the tax authorities θ . Contact me initially by email, but phone, Skype, or personal two way comm can be arranged.
  
Three or four years in late teens, early twenties was a Christian, where I had aspirations to be a minister and began part time training as a Local (lay) Preacher in the Methodist Church.
+
A major purpose here is to offer my services as a Chaplain.  The term was introduced into Scientology by Ron when I was on staff at Saint Hill, UK.  It was a very nice idea, that when a person was unable to get satisfaction anywhere in a rather large (for that time) org, met losses every where they went, felt "lost" or just need someone to talk to, they could go to the Chaplain and so to speak unburden their souls.  And the Chaplain was a person who would listen, and possibly make suggestions to help.
  
First heard of Scientology at Easter 1954, weekly auditing from Dennis O'Connell
+
However I looked in vain in the Green Volumes for the very simple explanation I thought Ron gave, and all I found were policy letters with a mass of bureaucracy.  But I am not interested in bureaucracy and rules. Just helpful communication.
HPA Course August 1955 (evenings) to January 1956 (day course) followed by six months completely unsuccessful attempt to have a "Scientology practice" in Surbiton, Surrey.
+
I was on the first (so we were told) public trial of what was to become comm course: December 1956.
+
  
Director, American College of Personal Efficiency, Dublin Ireland, March to September, 1957
+
I'll end this with two paragraphs from L. Ron Hubbard’s ''Fundamentals of Thought'', Chapter 6, (1956) 1972 edition:
London HASI staff October 57 to about 1959. Started weekdays as Shipping, Tape Library, Memberships, later also took on Weekend Upper Indoc Instructor.  On weekdays  became Director of Training (to allow the then Director of Training, Michael Pernetta to go on the 5th London ACC), Then Staff auditor, and lastly Director of Personal Efficiency Foundation.
+
:Freedom exist amongst barriers. A totality of barriers and a totality of freedom alike are no-games conditions. Each is similarly cruel. Each is similarly purposeless.
 +
:Great revolutionary movements fail. They promise unlimited freedom. That is the road to failure. Only stupid visionaries chant of endless freedom. Only the afraid and ignorant speak of and insist upon endless barriers.
 +
:
 +
I wish you a happy, self-fulfilling future (if that is what you would like).
  
After that I tried (again) to set up a private practice with two of the weekend course HPA students, the Colemans, in Pinner, Essex. Again unsuccessful. In this period I worked as a part time postman (morning round) and in the afternoon "helped" Ray Kemp in Golders Green with a project he was doing for Ron, using Objectives on mentally handicapped children.
+
''Antony
[[File:AntonyPhilips-2.jpg|thumb|250px|right| Saint Hill Manor, about 1966 (Picture from ''The Auditor'' of about that time)]]
+
''
  
Moved to Swiss Cottage (still trying to build a practice) where I audited one 25 hour intensive (mother of a Day HPA student). Then got a job with Alfred McConnochie in his TV Hire shop in Clapham, London, where I did a very little auditing (evenings on the first floor). While there I went up to HASI London three evenings a week for co-audit – marvelous.  While there I saw an advertisement (in the hallway of HASI London) for a job at Saint Hill Manor and got it.
+
P.S. I can understand that if you have been "sold" the goal of Total Freedom, the above quotation from the early Ron may be rather "devastating".  Be assured, there are lots of usable and valuable stable data in Scientology. ARC and deeper study of reality, affinity and communication for example. Also, of course, the theory of stable data and confusion.
 
+
Started at Saint Hill August 1964 (Central Files and Addresso) replacing Joe (a young lad, I think Breedon, possibly Breeding, but not the little older man that worked on emeters, who came to Pubs Org later) as he wanted to go back to the USA.  Quite a complicated story at Saint Hill and I refer you to my Home Page (Antology.info)
+
[[File:AntonyPhilips-3.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Printing Office, Pubs DK 1969]]
+
On January 1st 1968 I (and some twenty or thirty others) were suddenly moved to a completely new organisation Publications (again see my home page). This moved me to Edinburgh, Scotland and then Copenhagen, Denmark.
+
 
+
I had two 2½ year contacts, when the last one was up the organisation had changed a lot, and I was not willing to continue (either in Pubs or the Sea Org, which Pubs at that time had begun to copy).
+
I got a job with a Danish insurance company on 1st March 1971, and did my little best to be a good Scientologist. 
+
 
+
I left that job on 31st of October 1979 to do a ridiculous job for Pubs Org in England, which needed some one at least on OTIII to do.  When I came back I did two levels of the Briefing Course full time (getting NOTS auditing at the same time, being called for when my auditor was ready for me), and then the Happiness Rundown Course and Internship (that really was marvelous). I had inherited some money when my mother died, but this ran out.  I was working at a poorly paid night job (the phone man in a very tiny Taxi firm). In a most peculiar way (from my standard Scientology viewpoint) I got verbally declared Suppressive (at least I never saw a Suppressive Person  Order). I have not got round to writing that up for my home page, but it and later events will be written up (if my body lasts that long).
+
 
+
Briefly in the years after I was thrown out I had various jobs (including in the computer area), had communication with many Danes who were out of the Church of Scientology, and amongst other things we came to issue a Danish magazine ''Uafhænge Synspunkter'' (''Independent Viewpoints''). I started fairly junior, but as other people dropped out I tended to take on their hats :-) . I had a job with the company that introduced the first Desktop Publishing programme to Denmark, and when the person who was able to get us photo typesetting (from simple text files) done left the area, I asked my boss if I could use their equipment for an Independent Scientology and he said yes – so I got that "job" too – on Sundays when there was no one around to help me :-)
+
 
+
There was a demand for an English speaking Independent Scientology Magazine (all of those that existed, except ''Free Spirit'', had apparently died), so I started ''International Viewpoints'' (commonly called ''IVy'', see http://articles.ivymag.org/)As time went on more and more technologies came to help, the most significant being Internet) and that helped me get lots of helpers around the world (many of whom, for various reasons, don't want their names published).  In connection with that I set up an Internet list for ''IVy'' subscribers, and I also set up a few other internet lists.
+
 
+
''IVy'' is now closed, and I am really working on ending this life cycles as tidily as possible (there seem to be all too many :-) ).
+
 
+
I have always had an interest in music, and that is taking increasing attention, with a marvelous concert hall within an hours train ride, and very good public radio channel (24 hours a day with mostly classical music and talk on and about music and musicians). Since coming to Denmark I have taken an interest in cycling (it is a marvelous country to cycle in. Early a (now dead)  Scientologist who stayed in the "Church" introduced me to running (later sometimes called "jogging") which I still do a bit in a very slow and amateurish manner.  I have friends, both in Denmark and abroad who I keep somewhat in touch with.
+
 
+
A couple of years ago, three interviews were made of me, which are on YouTube.  They are in Danish, and thus rather irritating for those who do not understand Danish, and they are (from my side) a bit amateurish. Thus one of my unfinished cycles is to get a good quality interview in English.
+
 
+
In some ways I feel I am unique, having been an observer of Scientology and its changes over many years, having had experience in Tech, Admin and Pubs Org, all my friends and acquaintances have had positive experiences with (Meta)Scientology, – and being rather odd anyway :-).

Background

I have nearly 60 years of experience with Scientology to draw on. My first Scientology certificate, HPAAbbreviation for Hubbard Professional Auditor. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). (Hubbard Professional Auditor) from London in 1956 has two seals on it. The first came with the certificate, the second was added a few years later. Ron at that time talked about "seeing how far south we could go", meaning really how bad a casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) could we handle. He developed at that time something he called "Tone 40" processing, and particularly what were known as CCH 1-4. The extra seal on my certificate says "Validated for Advanced Processes, 1957" and refers to what we call the CCHs. I reckoned I had understood the principles involved and the test came in the 90s, when (thrown out of the "Church") I was auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) privately and rather alone, no Internet then, I was on Fido net. I had auditedThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor.

He came to me because his girl friend had a problema problem is postulate-counter-postulate, terminal-counter-terminal, force-counter-force. It’s one thing versus another thing. You’ve got two forces or two ideas which are interlocked of comparable magnitude and the thing stops right there.

I probably would not do that sort of casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) again, without some support, but the exact methodology should not die, and I am willing to communicate more on the matter privately.

My first training (to HPAAbbreviation for Hubbard Professional Auditor. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).) was before grades came out, but I was given (or awarded) a Class V1.Class of Organization authorized to deliver lower bridge services.(through grades and NED) 2. Auditor Classification for training on all actions through NED and Scientology grades. when (as a Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England.

In 1980 to 1982 I took two levels of the Briefing Course as it was then, and then the Happiness Rundown (HRD) Course and Internship. The majority of the HRD Course and the internship was concerned with the basics of auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) – very good course and internship.

I have also had other successes. I'll just give one here, verbatim. It is a success story for Scientology as much as for me as auditor1. one who listens and computes; a Scn practitioner. 2. one who has been trained in the technology of Scn. An auditor applies standard technology to preclears. 3. a person who through church training becomes skilled in the successful application of Dn and Scn to his family, friends and the public to achieve the ability gained as stated on the Gradation Chart for his class of training...more:

Succes Story

I was in my late thirties when I got the phone call from one of my sisters telling me my father was dead. My reaction to the news was, “Good, the World will be a better place without him”.
Shortly after I became suicidally depressed. And as time went by I began to notice that I was behaving in ways that I remembered my father had. I also remembered my promise to my self, made when I was 16 years old, “that I would kill myself rather than be anything like him”.
After a few months of fighting my depression alone I received Dianetic auditing1. the application of Dn procedures to an individual to help him become well and happy. (DPB, p. 11) 2. the tracing of experience. (SH Spec 70, 6607C21) 3. Dianetic auditing includes as its basic principle, the exhaustion of all the painfully unconscious moments of a subject’s life. By eradicating pain from the life of an individual, the auditor returns the individual to complete rationality and sanity. (DTOT, p. 68) in Copenhagen. I also took various courses, the only one I remember is the communication1. the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source point across a distance to receipt point with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source point. (HCOB 5 Apr 73)...more course which I have to say is THE ONE that broke my depression. To be fair all the various aspects of what I was doing at that time contributed, the Dianetic auditing1. the application of Dn procedures to an individual to help him become well and happy. (DPB, p. 11) 2. the tracing of experience. (SH Spec 70, 6607C21) 3. Dianetic auditing includes as its basic principle, the exhaustion of all the painfully unconscious moments of a subject’s life. By eradicating pain from the life of an individual, the auditor returns the individual to complete rationality and sanity. (DTOT, p. 68) was excellent :-)
My Dianetic auditor1. a person capable of resolving mental and physical problems by his ability to find and run engrams and secondaries. (HCOB 6 Apr.69) 2. a Dianetic auditor would use Dn to handle the lack of well-being of the pc. (HCOB 6 Apr 69 II) 3. one who has had case gain on Dn, and has been able to administer Dn so as to give case gains with it and that is what a Dianetic auditor is. It is not somebody who has been through the check sheets a large number of times or somebody who knows the Director of Certs and Awards. (6905C29) was KL [full name withheld]. That name is one that I remember with gratitude :-) K left the org shortly after he auditedThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) me and I vaguely remember it was not on good terms (I may be mistaken about that). I remember K well, but I do not remember the names of ANY of the other people I met there.
During the period of postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200)-depression euphoria (no exaggeration) I went on to get further (and much more expensive) auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975), but did not get anything worth noting out of it. I regard that as a total waste of time and money. During this time I also volunteered to work in the org running the book store. This contact gave me valuable insight in to what was actually going on, and I got totally disgusted with the whole thing and left.
Shortly after, I met Antony and even though my depression was gone I still had huge life problems caused by my relationship with my father – Yes, he was dead – but the relationship and its effect on me was not.
Antony helped me in many more ways than he realises :-)
We made huge inroads into my “father” problema problem is postulate-counter-postulate, terminal-counter-terminal, force-counter-force. It’s one thing versus another thing.

My son, probably would not have been conceived without the auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) I got from Antony that helped me overcome the conflicts I had about becoming a father myself.
About my Mother, I was 10 years old when I was placed in an orphanage. After what seemed like an eternity (time is relative, I was there a little under a year, but every day felt like forever) of trying to exist in the Hell that was St. Vincent's Orphanage [in England], with absolutely no contact with anybody from my family, not even a letter... my father came to visit and told me he would take me out of the orphanage but ONLY IF I PROMISED I WOULD NEVER SPEAK ABOUT OR TRY TO CONTACT MY MOTHER.
I made that promise. And then buried it, deep, where I would not have to look at it.
But even though forgotten, I was bound and gagged by it.
After about 30 years of not being able to contact my mother and not understanding whyThat basic outness found which will lead to a recovery of stats. (HCO PL 13 Oct 70 II) I could not, auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) with Antony dug up the forgotten promise, I looked at it and eventually laughed at it. The next day I got my mothers address from a relative and wrote her a letter. Shortly after she came to visit me.
Many times we would get in to something that was bothering me deeply, and end by finding it to be hysterically funny and having a good belly laugh about how I could have had a problema problem is postulate-counter-postulate, terminal-counter-terminal, force-counter-force.

One other thing I must tell about is – During auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) with Antony, I often experienced states of expanded consciousness.
One example. I remember asking for a break so that I could stand out on the balcony and just be with the experience of being all life. I remember it, but cannot process it now with normal consciousness, impossible to describe, but life changing :)

A major purpose here is to offer my services as a Chaplain. The term was introduced into Scientology by Ron when I was on staff at Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R), UKAbbreviation for United Kingdom. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). It was a very nice idea, that when a person was unable to get satisfaction anywhere in a rather large (for that time) orgShort for organization. (HCO PL 8 Sept 69), met losses every where they went, felt "lost" or just need someone to talk to, they could go to the Chaplain and so to speak unburden their souls. And the Chaplain was a person who would listen, and possibly make suggestions to help.

However I looked in vain in the Green Volumes for the very simple explanation I thought Ron gave, and all I found were policy letters with a mass of bureaucracy. But I am not interested in bureaucracy and rules. Just helpful communication1. the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source point across a distance to receipt point with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source point. (HCOB 5 Apr 73)...more.

I'll end this with two paragraphs from L. Ron Hubbard’s Fundamentals of Thought, Chapter 6, (1956) 1972 edition:

Freedom exist amongst barriers. A totality of barriers and a totality of freedom alike are no-games conditions. Each is similarly cruel. Each is similarly purposeless.
Great revolutionary movements fail. They promise unlimited freedom. That is the road to failure. Only stupid visionaries chant of endless freedom. Only the afraid and ignorant speak of and insist upon endless barriers.

I wish you a happy, self-fulfilling future (if that is what you would like).

Antony

P.S. I can understand that if you have been "sold" the goal of Total Freedom, the above quotation from the early Ron may be rather "devastating". Be assured, there are lots of usable and valuable stable data in Scientology. ARC1. a word from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication which together equate to Understanding. It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R- C. To Scientologists it has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness, such as “He was in ARC with his friend.” One does not, however, fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break. (LRH Def. Notes)...more and deeper study of reality, affinity1. the feeling of love or liking for something or someone. Affinity is a phenomena of space in that it expresses the willingness to occupy the same place as the thing which is loved or liked...more and communication1. the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source point across a distance to receipt point with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source point. (HCOB 5 Apr 73)...more for example. Also, of course, the theory of stable data and confusion.
