Ray Kemp was in the USA at the very early times 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. He maintained a 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.

Dear Antony,

Thanks for your condolences. Nothing can replace such a loss — Raymond was unique.

I am sending you the Memorial Service programme. He had a full military memorial.

We had over 150 cards and some 200 emails from all over the world.

He touched the heart and souls of many.

He was buried at sea by the USUnited States. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). Coast Guard who gave him a 21 gun salute and TAPS [ceremonial bugle or drum signal, Ed.].

A miracle happened right after TAPS — forty dolphins swam toward the boat and danced and jumped and talked to us — a wonderful uplifting experience for all and of course we all (including the captain) knew Raymond was producing his magical effects one more time.

I’ll miss him for ever. He was the love of my life and vice versa. I wish everyone could have a love like ours.

Love, Pam (Kemp)

By the way, Raymond was in 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 of a 32 foot cutter and 12 crew at the age of fifteen and a half in the [British] Royal Navy and was buried by a 210 foot cutter with all British engines and screws, etc. The captain was extremely proud to be of service for this.

Reminiscences of Ray by Antony Phillips

On my last four weeks of the HPAAbbreviation for Hubbard Professional Auditor. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). professional auditors course in London in January 1956 I was twinned with Pamela (Pam Kemp). Because of that I was invited to participate in two church services, the funeral of Ray Kemp's mother (Liz Williams) and Pam's and Ray's wedding. I understood that in both cases the church service was written by Ron and appeared in The Background and Ceremonies of the Church of Scientology of California, WorldwideThe corporation the owns and controls Scientology Orgs. (HCO PL 9 Mar 72I) which has its first copyright date as 1959.

No doubt because of my connection as a twin with Pam, I booked two 25 hour auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) intensives with Ray Kemp. The only notable thing (that I can remember now) was that at that time exteriorisation was being researched, and there was the idea that the reactive bank2. a colloquial name for the reactive mind. This is what the procedures of Scn are devoted to disposing of, for it is only a burden to an individual and he is much better off without it. (Scn AD)...more was attached to the body. A number of processes were evolved in the USA where Ray had been for exteriorising someone. Ray ran some of these on me. He only ran them for a short time and if nothing happened he went on to the next one. What I remember clearly was that he came to one where he told me to close my eyes and repeat to my body "Hello X". I did this a few times (I don't remember how many) and was surprised to hear a voice, my voice, in front of my face and about a foot below it saying "Hello X". I can't remember anything more of the intensive, but a few months later I was co-auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) on the process Waterloo Station (actually at Waterloo Station, in a tunnel there) and once more I heard my voice in front of me saying whatever I was saying to the 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. That phenomena has returned (I've got it now as I'm dictating this!) and tends to occur when I key out and it's a useful EPend phenomena: 1. "those indicators in the pc and meter which show that a chain or process is ended." It shows in Dianetics that basic on that chain and flow has been erased, and in Scientology that the pc has been released on that process being run. for a process.

In about 1960 when I had stopped working for the London Scientology org I had a part-time early-morning postman job and in the afternoon I went to Golders Green in north London where Pam and and Ray lived. I understood that Ray was doing a research project for Ron, the aim of which was to see to what degree objective processes could handle mentally handicapped children. (According to Ray there were many Jewish people in Golders Green, and he said that Jews were particularly caring about their children, so will be more interested in this project.) I remember that Ray went fairly frequently into the HASIAbbreviation for Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). London to talk to Ron and in fact gave me a private preclear1. 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) ''Abbr.'' PC of his to auditThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) with the assurance to the preclear1. 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) ''Abbr.'' PC that he would be in the house while she was getting auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975), and he wasn't! The conclusion of the experiment, which I haven't ever seen published, was that we were able to produce a change in the majority of the children on a daily basis, but when they came back next day they had lost that gain, and therefore to be able to do anything permanent for that sort of casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) the children would have to be away from their parents and in a sort of institution where all the staff were Scientologists.

Ray and Pam, who by that time were living in the USA, shortly after the big split from the church and before Internet, came over to Europe a few times and gave conferences. The first one was in Denmark. The second one was in East Berlin, just after the Iron Curtain had come down. Last one I remember was in Holland. Ray gave lectures at all of those. In Holland he did a rather unusual thing. Apparently earlier on in the USA Ron had given what you could call a demonstration of how thetan1. the living unit we call, in Scn, a thetan, that being taken from the Greek letter theta, the mathematic symbol used in Scn to indicate the source of life and life itself. (Abil Ma 1) 2. the awareness of awareness unit which has all potentialities but no mass, no wave-length and no location. (HCOB 3 Jul 59) 3. the being who is the individual and who handles and lives in the body. (HCOB 23 Apr 69)...more's were very early on the track (they were somewhat naive). It was a pity a video was not made of it (videos were not as common then as they are now) but shortly before he died he wrote something for IVy magazine which gives a slight hint at it. See [[1]] and go to page 24/25.

When I published the magazine IVy (International Viewpoints) I wanted some knowledgeable people to commit themselves to writing regular columns for every issue. He did this from 1991 (the first issue) until his death, over 40 articles, and you can see a list of them under "Kemp, Raymond" at [[2]]. You can see the articles themselves under the appropriate IVy at [[3]].

I have a comment on the video above. When I saw it for the first time which was here on Scientolipedia I was astounded that he, with Pam, gave a lecture sitting down in easy chairs or a sofa. You don't give talks or lectures that way, I thought! On further reflection I have the feeling that he was making a point which perhaps emphasises an important part of his nature. There is/was a tendency in Scientology to dominate. I think the previous speaker at that conference/meeting was somewhat dominating. Ray was not like that.

He also maintained an interesting relationship with Ron Hubbard, probably the longest relationship of a Scientologist with Ron Hubbard, with the possible exception of Mary Sue Hubbard. He recounted an occasion (and I think this was in the 50s, before Suppressive Person2. a person who rewards only down statistics and never rewards an up statistic. He goofs up or vilifies any effort to help anybody and particularly knifes with violence anything calculated to make human beings more powerful or intelligent. A suppressive automatically and immediately will curve any betterment activity into something evil or bad...More declares became part of policy) where there was a notice in the local org banning him, so we went round to Ron's house, got in 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 with Ron and they had a pleasant evening (I don't remember details and perhaps someone could drag his written account up and insert it here). In other words he handled Ron's 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 break with him using 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 (rather than a rote formula). So far as I know he never had a position as staff member in a Scientology orgShort for organization. (HCO PL 8 Sept 69). He ran a franchise in Orange County of which we would like to have someone write some sort of an account of for Scientolipedia (this article). I believe he was a friend of Alan Walter

Short account

The following account occurred on the Face Book page of Scientolipedia:

Yes, the Kemps had a girl and a boy (don't recall their names). My mother (xxx) and step-father (xxx) knew Ray and Pamela well and had business dealings with them. I went to dinner once at their home in Orange County (California) and met the family. Raymond was an Illusionist (magician) and Pamela was his beautiful assistant. He was on television in the '60s. The children were very kind and introduced me to Raymond's doves which he used during his illusionist acts. Pamela was on television show: "What's my Line."

More data needed.

There is a lot more to Ray Kemp's rich life. As an example an account/reminiscences of the Scientology Franchise which he ran in Orange County is needed here. If you have information/reminiscences please enter it directly here (you will need a login), or write to: ant.phillips@post8.tele.dk
