and abilities. It was written in 1997 by a keen student of Scientology, who thoroughly disagreed with the path the Church of Scientology had taken in more recent years. Fearing the Church would treat him badly if they knew who he was, he wrote under the pseudonym of The Pilot.
The Pilot's Announcement
The pilot wrote a homepage for Self Clearing which appeared on the now extinct Freezone America Homepage. It refers to some material including links which are out of date now, but here are more important parts.
1. What is Self Clearing?
Self Clearing is the practice of using mental exercises and processes to clear oneself of barriers and aberrations (distortions) which prevent one from operating in an optimum manner.
Processing consists of asking oneself questions and answering them not just once but many times so as to push through surface reactions and find deeper truths.
Mental exercises consisted doing actions repetitively to raise one's awareness and control.
You might, for example, simply look around the room and noticed things that you like. If you do this a number of times in a row, you will focus your attention and the room will seem a bit brighter.
Or you might recall a time when you had fun and then recall a time when somebody else had fun, and alternate these two processing commands, recalling time after time until your recall penetrates to something that has been deeply buried and long forgotten.
These are just beginning steps. There are thousands of these processes.
It is expected that by using these processes, you will raise your ability and awareness to undreamed heights.
2. Where does this lead?
The goal is to remove all mental blockage and regain full ability.
What that really means depends on what we really are.
The practice of self clearing does not presume to dictate what you will find or what abilities you will achieve.
Belief in the theology of self clearing is not a requirement for practising it.
With that in 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, we will say that the practitioners often discover a number of very incredibly sounding things.
Extensive use of the recalled techniques might lead to the remembrance of past lives.
Extensive use of the perception techniques might give one flashes of non-physical perception.
Working with things such as problems, one might discover that one creates one's own problems and brings one's own opposition into existence.
And at basic, one might well discover that we are godlike immortal beings who have become trapped within universes of our own creation.
But this is all nothing more than a speculation as to what you might find. In practice, you might find whatever you find.
You certainly do not have to believe in past lives to practice the techniques. If you want you can chalk that one up to simply exercising one's powers of imagination. The technique will still build up your ability to focus and concentrate and handle situations in life.
3. Where did this come from?
This practice has evolved from Scientology which was founded in 1952 by L. Ron Hubbard.
Scientology in turn was an outgrowth of Dianetics1. DIA (Greek) through, NOUS (Greek) mind, deals with a system of mental image pictures in relation to psychic (spiritual) trauma. The mental image pictures are believed on the basis of personal revelation to be comprising mental activity created and formed by the spirit, and not by the body or brain. (BPL 24 Sept 73 V) 2. Dn addresses the body. Thus Dn is used to knock out and erase illnesses, unwanted sensations, misemotion, somatics, pain, etc. Dn came before Scn. It disposed of body illness and the difficulties a thetan was having with his body. (HCOB 22 Apr 69)...more. It came about when the original Dianetics1. DIA (Greek) through, NOUS (Greek) mind, deals with a system of mental image pictures in relation to psychic (spiritual) trauma. The mental image pictures are believed on the basis of personal revelation to be comprising mental activity created and formed by the spirit, and not by the body or brain. (BPL 24 Sept 73 V) 2. Dn addresses the body. Thus Dn is used to knock out and erase illnesses, unwanted sensations, misemotion, somatics, pain, etc. Dn came before Scn. It disposed of body illness and the difficulties a thetan was having with his body. (HCOB 22 Apr 69)...more theories of all aberrations originating in the prenatal area failed in practice and the engrams (painful incidence) were found to lead back to past lives instead.
Since Scientology places heavy restrictions upon its members and upon the uses of techniques, the non-orthodox Scientologists are known as The Freezone and the two factions are currently (1997) heavily at odds with each other.
The Church of Scientology's own website is at www.Scientology.orgShort for organization. (HCO PL 8 Sept 69).

4.Where to get Self Clearing materials
Self Clearing book has been made freely available on the Internet. Can be picked up from the following sites among others;
[Old links out of date place new links here] http://freezoneearth.org/downloads/files.html (scroll down)
The techniques can be used by anybody who is willing to put in the time and effort required to work through the book.
The initial version of the book consists of 48 chapters, each of which might be considered to be a stage or level or area that is to be addressed in self clearing. There will probably be more chapters in the future as research is carried forward.
The book is to be worked through twice, once in a light manner to orient oneself, develop understanding, and handle things which are currently in one's way. And the second time to carry the process to deeper levels and expand each section to full mastery.
On a second pass, one will be expected to expand the chapters with other materials. Many of these are in the Super Scio book which I previously released onto the Internet.
The Super Scio book represents my own research notes on working beyond the levels that were available in orthodox Scientology. It expects that you are already familiar with Scientology or have work through the Self Clearing book.

5.Who is the pilot?
I am a secret reformer within the Church of Scientology.
I wish to make the technologyThe methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) ''Abbr.'' tech freely available to everyone and I wish to see the research continue.
I remain anonymous at this time because the CofS has a reputation for viciously attacking any of their members or ex-members who attempt to do either of these actions.
They currently believe that the technologyThe methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) ''Abbr.'' tech is inviolate, cannot be revised or extended, and must remain frozen in the form left by Hubbard at his death.
In the early days, beginning was made towards researching unsupervised self processing at home, as is evidenced by Hubbard's Self Analysis book which is still available.
But this was not carried forward, and any attempts at carrying this beyond what is in this beginners book by Hubbard (which, being by Hubbard, is considered inviolate) is sternly attacked.
And yet, a careful examination of the early research and the later discoveries shows that these could be combined with a benefit to make the entirety of the technologyThe methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) ''Abbr.'' tech easily available to everyone on a do-it-yourself basis.
This is a abhorrent to the current management of the CofS which charges absurdly high prices for a very limited subset of the technologyThe methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) ''Abbr.'' tech.
That subset represents approximately a third of the area covered by Self Clearing.
And many other areas were investigated by Hubbard in the 1950s but were not carried forward to the point where they can be applied in the rote and pedantic manner currently used by within the CofS.
This represents another third of the areas covered by Self Clearing, and actions necessary to upgrade these to the point where they could be used for this purpose are again in violation of CofS practices because the sacred works must never be altered or extended.
And then there is the remaining Self Clearing material which is based upon my own research beyond the works of Hubbard, and this is the most abhorrent to the current management because technologyThe methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) ''Abbr.'' tech is considered to be complete and nobody besides Hubbard (who is no longer around) may further research or experiment with it.
For this reason I remain hidden. You can visit the critics sites for stories of what happened to various people who did not remain so well hidden.
6. Keeping up with the news
There is much ongoing critical discussion going on in the alt.religion.scientology newsgroup. [This was applicable in 1997]
If you cannot get these on your news server or do not have access to a new server, Homer@lightlink.com provides these newsgroups on an open news server as a public service. The link is at newsact.lightlink.com [no longer functioning with this purpose]
I often postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) to these groups. Technical questions can be posted to ACT.
An archive of my past postings is kept at http://freezoneearth.org/downloads/files.html (scroll down to Posting Archives)
You can also search for these postings at dejanews [out of date links omitted here]
The road to truth is finally open. The toll bridge that blocks its use has finally been bypassed. The speed limit signs have finally been taken down.
We need only roll up your sleeves and get to work.
Sincerely,
The Pilot.

Review by James Moore, England
First published in IVy 37, page 47 [[1]]
- Self Clearing, A Handbook for Self Enlightenment, by The Pilot [[2]]. Available free on the Internet, for example from http://www.freezoneearth.org/pub/Clearing.pdf. [This is the first edition] The “Word” version of the printed book comprises about 350 pages. If you are not on the Internet, or do not have time and patience to print it out, it is possible that your IVy distributor will have a local source willing to sell a photocopy of the book. [IVy ceased to be published in 2008]
SINCE THE PILOT appeared on the two Scientology newsgroups on Internet about a year ago he has entered a lot of theta material into a rather enturbulated area. He has written extensively both on 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) matters and (citing Ron) on how the present day church has slipped far away from the Scientology which Ron helped form over 40 years ago. See for example the article in the last IVy, page 32 “Ron’s Research Line”. He has shown in many ways that his grasp of Ron’s writings and lectures is deep, and covers the whole time track of Scientology. This comprehension is no mean feat. Ron wrote and said much. The Pilot deserves attention, and I predict that he will significantly change the course of events, mostly in free (from church influence) Scientology, but also in the church.
The arrival of his Self Clearing book is a very significant landmark in his career, and also a very significant land mark in the history of do-it-yourself self enhancement.
For all
A claim is made that the Self Clearing book can be read and used by all, regardless of whether they have had Scientology experience. I have seen this claim before, notably in TROM (The Resolution of Mind) and Excalibur Revisited, and in my view these were very hollow claims. Self Clearing does fulfil this claim, and I would gladly give it to an enhancement seeking person who knew nothing of Scientology.
To a Scientologist or ex Scientologist I would be a little diffident, if the person was not familiar with Scientology in the 50’s. Scientology has changed a lot, and The Pilot brings into his book freer concepts found in the 50’s but later abandoned. For those people who have only had ScnAbbreviation for Scientology. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). church contact within the last 30 years, I would strongly advise reading The Reformers Home Page, which the Pilot prepared and got posted on Internet, before doing Self Clearing. Here are many quotes from Ron which seem to go completely against what the modern “churchgoer” is led to believe is in Ron’s Spirit. Internet users can read the reformer’s Home Page at [[3]] . They are in for a few surprises.
A gradient
The book contains all necessary explanations. It is a sort of bridge or path, but possibly a broader one than the modern Scientology one, in that it works on what might be called OTOperating Thetan - 7. this state of being is attained by drills and familiarity after the state of Clear has been obtained. A real OT has no reactive bank, is cause over matter, energy, space, time and thought and is completely free. (HCOB 12 Jul 65)...More aspects (perceptions independent of the body) from the beginning. It is a gradient, and because of that I would suggest everyone do it chapter by chapter, rather than reading the whole thing, or skipping ahead, before doing it.
It is not necessary to use a 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, in fact the book is written on the basis that you do not have a 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. For four or five years Scientology did not use e-meters, and I suspect someone not using a 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 will increase in intuition (knowingness) faster than with the use of a 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. And the gradient is not too shallow, because one is allowed to skip over those things which do not seem relevant at that time. In fact The Pilot talks of doing the book twice, because for different people things will have reality at different times.
Any one person can do it
In the early days of Scientology (Dianetics1. DIA (Greek) through, NOUS (Greek) mind, deals with a system of mental image pictures in relation to psychic (spiritual) trauma. The mental image pictures are believed on the basis of personal revelation to be comprising mental activity created and formed by the spirit, and not by the body or brain. (BPL 24 Sept 73 V) 2. Dn addresses the body. Thus Dn is used to knock out and erase illnesses, unwanted sensations, misemotion, somatics, pain, etc. Dn came before Scn. It disposed of body illness and the difficulties a thetan was having with his body. (HCOB 22 Apr 69)...more rather) the popular cry went out “any two persons can do it”. Forty years later we have a better cry “Any one person can do it”. And now we have forty years extra experience. This is much better. There is no charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more, and no future charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more. Because of that nobody is likely to pour large sums of money into promoting it. But you can help here. Make it known.
The above review is of the first edition of The Pilot's book. He wrote a second edition, which was found on his computer after his death, where some things were added and improvements made and the following is a link to it [[4]] .
