Scientology outstanding achievements of 2013 - Great people making the truth about the subject available to the world.

"And I believe that the freedom of the material which we know and understand is guaranteed only by a lightness of organization, a maximum of people, good training and good, reliable, sound relay of information. And if we can do these things, we will win. But if we can't do these things, sooner or later the information which we hold will become the property of an untrustworthy few. This I am sure, because it has always happened this way. But that's not reason it has to keep on happening this way. I am not of an inevitable frame of mind3. a network of communications and pictures, energies and masses, which are brought into being by the activities of the thetan versus the physical universe or other thetans. The mind is a communication and control system between the thetan and his environment. (FOT, p. 56)...MORE...."

"Scientology, well understood, is a very powerful thing. Poorly relayed, poorly communicated, monopolized or used exclusively for gain, it could be a very destructive thing."

LRHL. Ron Hubbard. From the "Anatomy of the Spirit of Man" congress lectures. Tape 6, June 1955.

Scientology - the Subject

The subject of Scientology (as opposed to a dysfunctional corporate entity known as "the Church of Scientology) is alive and well in the "Field". (individuals and groups using the subject to help others attain greater awareness and happiness in life, separate and apart from the corporate church)

2013 has been an amazing year for individual application and dissemination of the benefits of the 'subject of Scientology and Scientolipedia.org has been the premier showcase for these efforts.

While becoming the highest ranked website featuring exclusively positive and truthful information on the subject, Scientolipedia.org has benefited from the contributions from a large number of individuals who took it upon themselves to Do Something About It.

Without the fantastic collaborative efforts of these people, Scientolipedia.org would not have become the roaring success it has become. People saw the benefit of banding together on a single focal point platform and use it as THE vehicle to communicate to the world the very positive and beneficial aspects of the discoveries of L Ron Hubbard.

Three individuals went far far above and beyond "the call of duty" to create content that has changed the entire Scientology landscape. A statement that is not mere hype, it is fact!

I continually receive feedback and commentary from a wide variety of sources indicating how helpful and impactful these contributions have been to their understanding of and appreciation of the subject of Scientology.

The work of the individuals commended here represents many thousands of hours of work to bring the information to you.

More about the process each took to achieve their fantastic work is spelled out below. Suffice to say, we all owe a great debt of gratitude to each of our 2013 honorees. Their selfless dedication to bringing truth and valuable information to us all is the "right stuff" and deserves the highest praise and admiration.

Thank You 2013 Outstanding Achievement Award winners. You are very much appreciated!

Jonathan Burke

Jonathan Burke, creator of the Meter Reads Drill Film

The creation of the Meter Reads Drill Film was a milestone for the Scientology Field.

For the first time, a professional instructional film was made outside the corporate walls of the CoS. No simple task considering a.) Jonathan didn't have elaborate film production facilities available to him. In fact, he did it all with an aged Mac PC1. a person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life. (The Phoenix Lectures, p. 20) 2. a spiritual being who is now on the road to becoming Clear, hence preclear. (HCOB 5 Apr 69) 3. one who is discovering things about himself and who is becoming clearer. (HCO PL 21 Aug 63) an Ipad and a whole bunch of determined effort to pull it off - b.) It went against the grain of intrenched ideas that only church or LRHL. Ron Hubbard sanctioned entities should be so bold to instruct others in the correct use of the e-meter2. Hubbard Electrometer. An electronic instrument for measuring mental state and change of state in individuals, as an aid to precision and speed in auditing. The E-meter is not intended or effective for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease. (Scn AD)...more - c.) Jonathan had never made a film before and so was learning as he went.

In spite of these obstacles he persisted, over several months and many hundreds of hours to create a very valuable aid to both aspiring and veteran auditors alike. The film has also served as a de-mystifying factor in making the e-meter2. Hubbard Electrometer. An electronic instrument for measuring mental state and change of state in individuals, as an aid to precision and speed in auditing. The E-meter is not intended or effective for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease. (Scn AD)...more more understandable and confrontable to thousands of people who never saw one in operation or ever saw what meter2. Hubbard Electrometer. An electronic instrument for measuring mental state and change of state in individuals, as an aid to precision and speed in auditing. The E-meter is not intended or effective for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease. (Scn AD)...more reads look like.

Jonathan sent advance copies of the film to a wide panel of veteran techAbbreviation for technology. The methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) people for feedback and critique. (a process designed to gain consensus on his work as well as "buy-in" to give the work credibility)

Having had many conversations with Jonathan during this period, I can tell you it was a supreme challenge for him to patiently maintain a calm demeanor in the face of some outlandish criticisms and comments about the project and his efforts. Jonathan handled these with superb 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 finesse while refusing to be diswayed or diverted from completing the project of an excellent new tool for 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 training.

Thousands of people have viewed the film and it has become an invaluable tool in auditor1. one who listens and computes; a Scn practitioner. 2. one who has been trained in the technology of Scn.

Without question, a most deserving recipient of this years Outstanding Achievement Award!
