Project Engineers
In the London Scientology organisation there were about 6 people who were staff auditors. Their job was to apply individually Scientology techniques to paying persons. They auditedThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) 25 hours a week. Working from 9.00 to 7.30 with an hour (from 12.00 to 13.00) for lunch they had a certain amount of extra time, which was used both to mark tests of clients, and to write letters to people who had been in contact with the organisation. However at this time Hubbard named a few of them "Project Engineers" and they used their time when not auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) on specially designated tasks. One of them was Maura Chamberlain (mother of Neville Chamberlain, who was later a Sea OrgAbbreviation for Sea Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). Member and even later was associated with Alan Walter's Knowledgism) and she was given the task of collecting reports from practitioners and subjects from the recently runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) 5th London Advanced Clinical Course (ACCAdvanced Clinical Course - ACC - one of a number of theory and research courses delivered by L. Ron Hubbard during the years 1953 to 1961, which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation.). The result of her work was the book Have You Lived Before This Life. There was a general expectancy that this would be a great book, breaking down the barrier between Scientology and the public, and that when people read it, they would come streaming into the org to learn more of their past lives.
The Contents
The first edition of the book has 183 pages, is hard back, 12 cms by 19cms. Immediately after the copyright notice are four and a half pages containing a list headed: "THESE ARE THE THERAPISTS WHO TOOK PART IN THIS EXPERIMENT. YOU ARE AT LIBERTY TO CALL ANY OF THEM IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS." There then followed 62 names and addresses of participants, 27 of which had a phone numbers, 35 with addresses in England (others were in continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand and USA).
This was followed by the table of contents which read:
List of Therapists Page 3
Introduction Page 11
The Conditions of the Experiment page 13
A Note on Past Lives Page 17
The Incidents Page 21
Glossary Page 23
Reports on Cases 1 to 42 Page 25
Conclusion Page 183
Some of the Reports were headed "Preclear's Report" and some "Scientologist's Report". In each casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) the Scientologist is named (a couple are anonymous) while the preclears merely appear as "Case No. nn". The preclears were all students on the ACCAdvanced Clinical Course - ACC - one of a number of theory and research courses delivered by L. Ron Hubbard during the years 1953 to 1961, which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation., named at the front of the book.
The types of incidents vary quite a bit, some being somewhat weird and some a very long time ago.
The conclusions section reads as follows:
- Now what do you think?
- Seventy conservative, well trained, Scientologists, the most effective practitioners in today's world of mental healing, have gone through these experiences. Seventy sane people have some evidence that they have lived before.
- What about the rest of the human race?
- You have the names and addresses and phone numbers in this book. You can call them and verify the matter yourself. Some believe it, some do not. Talk to them all if you wish.
- Or come to the HASIAbbreviation for Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976)., 37 Fitzroy Street, London W.1, and ask about it. The HASIAbbreviation for Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). is only interested in healing people and clearing them. The Association has no real interest in fads and crazes. It is a scientific institution. It exists only for public service. But it has had to view past lives with more than ridicule. Past lives come up too often in clearing to be ignored.
- Will they come up with you?
- THE END.
