The methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65). It was a focus for those who could not, or chose not to return to the COS. During the past twenty years Steve successfully counselled and trained both Scientologists and non-Scientologists. He became accepted as an expert in the field of Trauma Counselling and was co-author of a book on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder^l.

Through his expansion into Metapsychology he worked with various organisations, and was recognised by the Queen for his contribution as Victim Support Counsellor after the Brixton (London) bomb incident.

Steve Bisbey by Otto Roos, Holland

WHAT CAN I SAY about Steve Bisbey? He was one of my very best friends. He was also, and that was for me the most important. a Case Tech Man of the highest calibre.

Steve the natively endowed 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) man

Steve was for me, from my viewpoint of the first graduated Class XIIAn advanced Scn course available to Sea Org auditors only and is taught on Flag. It teaches L-12, the Flag OT executive Rundown. (Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) and LRHL. Ron Hubbard appointed Tech Flub Catch hatA hat therefore designates particular status and duties in an organization. (HCO PL 22 Sept 70)...more, the most unbelievable native 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, C/S2. the C/S is the case supervisor. He has to be an accomplished and properly certified auditor and a person trained additionally to supervise cases...MORE. etc., who had only in name not attained the highest technical grade [ Otto Roos considers Steve quite capable of handling, including c/sing and auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975), confidential materials]. If ever a person had the inborn talents and skills of the highest level as mocked up by LRHL. Ron Hubbard to date, Steve was it, and still is, and will be as will be seen in only a few years upon his return.

There were no secrets between Steve and myself. There was no reason for the existence of so called "confidential higher levels" which "he was not allowed to have insight into" etc. From my viewpoint Steve Bisbey was entitled to see and have any and all technical data developed as so called "secret upper level" material.

Why? Because he natively knew and had it all. We had no barriers or stupid "secrecy" between us in our 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. If Steve hadn't innately already had what could be considered the official training of higher levels, it would have been a loss for the world that he had not been in the position to get his full training. But Steve did have the native skill and training, his insight as a C/S2. the C/S is the case supervisor. He has to be an accomplished and properly certified auditor and a person trained additionally to supervise cases...MORE was unsurpassed, he was the pure Class XIIAn advanced Scn course available to Sea Org auditors only and is taught on Flag. It teaches L-12, the Flag OT executive Rundown. (Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) in spirit! He could and did make the "missing data" his own quite effortlessly.

He had no difficulty duplicating the so-called "confidential data". In fact not only did he do that, he was immediately capable of translating it into his 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) compilations, C/SingA case supervisor direction of what to audit on a pc. (HCOB 23 Aug 71) and auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975).

Apart. from a great friend I lost one of my dearest and most able colleagues!

Frances

Steve was most fortunate to have Frances, his wife, as a wonderful and loving life partner. Her loss cannot be described. Her courage is great! Thank heaven she still has Diana, Steve's daughter, and her own two lovely girls to help her in these days of tragic loss. I have seen how many friends Steve had, many of whom are now giving the most needed support. to Frances and family.

Those he helped

Many of those Steve helped were at the church service to give their last farewell. The speeches, the poems, the expressions. and all the people there made it very clear how beloved Steve was and the services he had given the world.

Apart from the many grateful people, there were also personal friends and people he had worked and studied with.They had come from different parts of the world to pay him their respect and tell him of their love. I was in grief when touching his coffin as it went by, and now, much later, I still have difficulty confronting Steve's passing and am protesting the loss of such a person. He was a man who improved the world and all of us by having been here, giving us his love and applying his skills. He will never be forgotten!

Hope

Steve has left - temporally. He will be back.

He also expects us, especially those who worked in the same field, from old-timers to newcomers, to continue with the work he lived for. In the friends I saw during and after the church service, in the words I heard and read about Steve and his work, and in my own life which was spent in the same field from the 1950's, I saw the wish, the urge to carry on doing what Steve did and many of us are still doing; helping others and ourselves to raise our awareness, to increase our ability, to heighten our self-determinism and to spread 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.

Steve led a blessed life. I hope and expect that many of those he knew will follow his example.

I wish you all of you my love. success, Steve. and send you my love.

Comment by Antony Phillips

In September 1984 after being thrown out of the "Church" in 1983 I went to East Grinstead, to find out if I was complete on auditedThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) NOTsNew Era Dianetics for OT's. Done in two main sections after OT III. Audited NOTS (OT V) and Solo NOTS (OT VI & VII with OT VI being the course that trains the pre-OT how to solo audit NOTS) Note: OT IV is the OT Drug Rundown., and Steve handled me and found I could go on to solo NOTsNew Era Dianetics for OT's. Done in two main sections after OT III. Audited NOTS (OT V) and Solo NOTS (OT VI & VII with OT VI being the course that trains the pre-OT how to solo audit NOTS) Note: OT IV is the OT Drug Rundown. (in about 1985). There were two or three other auditors at his Centre, part of the AAC network of the time

The London Underground is a fairly large railway system and occasionally someone wanting to die does so in front of an Underground train (there were no means of preventing people jumping in front of a moving train at that time). Train drivers are totally unable to prevent it, and suffer great trauma. I understand that Steve had a contract with London Transport where he was called in to give therapy to such unfortunate drivers. That is "via verbal commSlang, short for - communication" and a more reliable account follows, from the front pages of the book Brief Therapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder:

Mr. Bisbey has been in private counselling practice for the past 15 years. He specializes in trauma (treatment, training, research and supervision), relationship difficulties and couples work, and the treatment of cult survivors. He has been involved in media work relating to all these areas.

Mr. Bisbey is a Certified Trauma Specialist and works at Victim Support Lambeth weekly seeing traumatized victims of crime. He is a research clinician at the London Transport Trauma Research and Counselling Centre where he is working on a large treatment outcome research project. He spends the rest of his working time seeing clients in private practice, supervising mental health professionals working with traumatized clients, and designing treatment techniques and training programmes relating to his speciality areas.

Mr. Bisbey has designed training materials for the staff support scheme of the East Anglian Ambulance NHS Trust, the 'buddy scheme' for London Transport. He is co-author of a variety of articles on structured person-focussed counselling techniques. Mr. Bisbey has presented at conferences in the UKAbbreviation for United Kingdom. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976), the USA and Europe on trauma and has been co-organizer of four conferences for trauma practitioners in the UKAbbreviation for United Kingdom. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).

I understand that he died from one of the rarer, and then incurable, liver afflictions. Tragic, an active, positive contributing Scientologist taken at the age of 53 at the prime of his career.
