Scientology Kids

At the Freewinds this summer, David Miscavige announced a whole new series of courses anyone of any religion can take to bolster up those aspects of their lives giving them the most trouble. One who series of these courses deals with helping kids. There is a course on how to raise happy babies, one on raising happy children and another one on surviving as a parent of a tween or teen. As I said anyone can go into a Scientology Church or Mission and ask to take one of these courses. At the end of a couple of days of study (part time) you will have a new perspective and attitude and practical skills to get you through the rough spots and help you help your kids, which is the whole point anyway, isnt' it?

New Scientology church in DC

I just had to pipe up about the grand opening of the new Founding Church of Scientology in Washington DC. What an incredibly beautiful building. And it is so set up to service Scientologists and the community. The new address is 1424 16th St. NW.

Open houses, film showings, self-guided tours through the information center. All welcome!

David Miscavige was there for the grand opening too. What a day!

Youngest Scientology Basics Completion

I just have to share this totally wonderful video of a 14-year-old girl who just completed studying all the Scientology and Dianetics basics at the Flag Service Organization (the religious headquarters of the Scientology religion). It's quite amazing.

I'm having tremendous wins from the Basics myself, and boy am I glad L. Ron Hubbard took the time to write these books and record the lectures, and that David Miscavige put the needed resources into getting them perfect and releasing them with a price anyone can afford.

Why Does Suicide Prevention Backfire?

Suicide is always shocking, but it is particularly alarming when it involves our children and youth. And among indigenous communities the statistics are more than condemnatory.

According to TheAge.com.au:

"This year ... the Howard Government announced national emergency measures to protect Aboriginal children in the Northern Territory from abuse. Almost three months later, it is time to consider whether the action is improving the lives of children in remote communities. Sadly, the answer is that it is not."

This same article reports that in one small community in Australia, 31 young people attempt suicide in the space of eight months — 8 per cent of the population of 452 people.

So why does suicide prevention backfire?

The reason is that unless one addresses the real cause, suicides will continue.

No matter what measures you take, if a person is bent on suicide he/she will ultimately succeed. unless you help him/her change his/her mind.

A study of Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health and Science of Survival by L. Ron Hubbard are essential for an understanding of the spiritual and mental phenomena that underlie suicide, what causes a person to seek to take his/her own life and simple therapies to raise a person's emotional tone to the point where he/she would no longer seek such a solution.

In Dianetics, Survival is shown to be the basic motivation of life, but Mr. Hubbard also clearly lays out how it is that someone can be driven to go to such extremes that he appears to have given up on surviving entirely. When you read it, it suddenly makes sense to you.

In June, David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of RTC, announced the release of new editions of all the basic Scientology and Dianetics books and lectures recorded by L. Ron Hubbard that give the background and research data, providing even greater understanding of the books themselves.

Anyone really serious about helping potential suicides needs to study these texts. Without a full understanding of the mind, however earnest you may be in your intention to help, you will accumulate failures. And when it comes to child suicides, even one such failure is far too many.

Don't Break that Kid

So many kids are prescribed drugs because of behavior problems. Today, when there are more and more single-parent households, and where even more traditional families usually have both parents working, what can a mother or father do to help his or her child with discipline problems?

In the Scientology Handbook there is a section titled "How to Live With Children," in which L. Ron Hubbard stated:

"The main consideration in raising children is the problem of training them without breaking them. You want to raise your child in such a way that you don’t have to control him, so that he will be in full possession of himself at all times. Upon that depends his good behavior, his health, his sanity."

It's easy enough to say that, but how do you actually bring it about?

To do anything in life required a understanding and skill. You wouldn't think of trying to drive a car without learning what each of the various systems did or you'd step on the gas instead of the break and end up a casualty before you even got started.

But where's the the parent's "owners manual"?

Well, if you understood life better, and if you understood why people react, when they do, wouldn't that help you with your kid as well?

Exploiting Kids to Make Pharma Money

Once more our kids are about to be exploited, all to the greater good of psychiatry and Big Pharma.

Over 300 articles listed in Google News yesterday screamed about some "new study" showing a huge increase in bipolar kids.

Wow. Is this coincidental, or is it a direct correlation to the increase in prescription "meds" being given to kids to get them to sit up straight and not fight or disagree with their teacher? (oops, excuse me, for "ADHD" -- called "behavior problems" when I was a kid and usually handled by letting the kids blow off steam in the school yard or making sure they ate breakfast).

Why should we use our kids to bear the brunt of the pharmaceutical industry's need to expand their capital?

Over the years, with the help of briefings at Scientology events (even as recently as this last July when David Miscavige [Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center] covered the subject in a speech on reversing the current social catastrophe ). I've come to realize how responsible the psych/pharma syndicate [my words, not his] is for the degradation of our civilization). It has opened my eyes to what is really going on on this planet. Especially after I toured the CCHR (Citizens Commission on Human Rights) museum -- Psychiatry and Industry of Death. So much so, that when this latest "announcement" came out it was completely transparent to me.

Want to bet how long it takes for someone to come up with a new (expensive) miracle patent to charge our insurance companies and the US Congress (through appropriations) to "handle this mental health emergency." Leave me a comment on this blog on how long you predict it will be before the "fortuitous" announcement of the latest miracle drug that coincidentally solves this "new" problem.

What's even worse is that anyone can pick up one of the basic Scientology books or lectures by L. Ron Hubbard and find dozens of things they can do to help a kid. It's so easy to chill kids out. But once you start stuffing them full of meds you are setting them up for a life of desperation.

And by the way, if you want the real lowdown on big pharma "ethics" check out Michael Moore's new film, Sicko.

Avoiding Teenager "Disorder"

I suppose you could consider being a teenager as a disorder (marked by rebellion, doing things that are harmful or dangerous for fun, avoiding authority figures like parents and teachers and only caring about what their friends think of them). But giving it a name doesn't do anything to fix the symptoms or prevent the damage.

Sure they'll "get over it" eventually. That is, unless they get themselves into serious trouble in the meantime.

Ironic, isn't it, that about the time kids are most in need of parents' advice they find it hardest to talk to them?

As adolescents and teens start feeling the pressure from friends and media to be "cool" they do things they know they don't want their folks to find out about. And this starts the wedge that drives the relationship apart.

Once that starts, parents who really want to help their kids are up against a lot. But what if was "cool" to honor help your parents?

Just this one precept from The Way to Happiness by L. Ron Hubbard could go a long way to helping kids avoid getting into trouble or minimally doing things set will them back, like drugs, crime, slacking off or dropping out of school.
