Critique from Ralph Hilton

I can't mock up a theta bop at the moment so this one is generated by the microcontroller box that I use for meter testing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwdTYoJmqP0&feature=youtu.be It goes up and down 6 times a second.

The springy F/N is something I didn't see until after I left the CofS. What I have observed is that it is a faster F/N. The swings at the end are artifacts produced by CofS meters that don't appear at all on meters that accurately show what is occuring in the PC. They seem to occur only on people who have run a lot of NOTs. Glenn's statements seem very accurate to me regarding the rocket read and tick. The pop to F/N is only visible on a high quality meter so won't show up on the CofS junk meters. When LRH made the statement about the pop there were some very fast meters around made by a company called Design Animations that showed it but after the Sea Org took over meter production around 1974 the meters became sluggish. The Mk 7 was far better than the Mk 6 which I consider useless. The Quantum appears to me to make sluggish F/Ns. I agree exactly with Anita about the stage 4 but would add that the speed is a fair bit slower on those that I have seen - the whole phenomena takes a bit less than twice as long as yours - I would also make it twice as big. It really has a death march feeling. Imagine that you are with a 1000 other slaves slowly dragging stones up the slopes toward the temple for the tone level of it.

As far as the overall presentation goes it is obvious that you are a professional in that regard. My own interest is in the technical aspects so I tend to regard the glitter as secondary. I would suggest making the glitter briefer and leaving out the defocussing effects.

Another suggestion is that you ask people's permission before putting their names up as consultants. I think we are still looking at an alpha/beta version and that people might not want their names on it as a final presentation. The CofS will use anything to attack Independepents. I put a picture of our dog with a Sea Org Officers cap on him and labelled it the Ethics Officer. they put that in their DA pack and said "Look - this guy has so liitle sense of ethics that he appoints his dog as the MAA." I guess they didn't know that the people at Int have to salute DM's dog now :-)

You could say - this film has been approved by the following: ... We wish to thank for their technical contributions: ...

1. 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)

Ralph,

Thank you for your continuing input. The defocusing effects have a greater purpose than just "bling". I won't be changing those. When I sent out critique invites, the people I asked were told they would be put in the credits as consultants. There was no assumption on our part.

Regarding the stage 4, several of the panel members thought it was a moot point and to do the best I could as it is an extremely rare needle phenomena and more of a curiosity than anything as there are no rundowns and such for it. I am not minimizing the tech of it, just relaying the communication on the subject. We will endeavor to improve the stage four needle and other reads as input and validity per definition dictate and time permits us.

The film is a labor of love and will continue to be improved until a majority of everyone is happy. I am doing the work for free so it is what is after three and a half months of 8-10 hour days and a year development cycle. There are many enthusiastic technical terminals in the field who are more than happy to have it in it's current state and wait for improvement than having nothing at all. Most all of them helping us along the way make improvement, such as yourself. I am making improvements on a daily basis and re-rendering/uploading/reposting them nightly, so it won't take long in our estimation.

Its not easy baring your (Technical, Artistic, Video, and Musical) talents despite everything for the sake of Ron's (and 10.000's of others) decades of efforts reaching for the goals in Scientology and it's end goals for free. First asking for critiques then getting a want for absolutes from people you don't even know. All wanting a different product in a different direction. Believe me on this, it's no fun but we KNEW it HAD to be done. If not for pulling the tech terminals together and getting them to agree, for the most part, on one of the most key set of datums in Scientology. We are trying to start stable datums on a new cycle for EVERYONE, that takes time, when its at an Organizations own expense. The more agreement we get the better the field will get, the more people will go up the Bridge in the short and long term via (ARC/KRC). The more freed beings both in the mest and theta universes. We are not participating in the finger pointing, blame, ded/dedex dramatizations. Its a create line for us, and we will get great products, given time and resources. So far, so good.

ML,

Jonathan

The movement of matter or energy in time is the measure of space. All things are mest except theta. (Abil 114-A) 2. the symbol for the physical universe in use hereafter is mest, from the first letters of the words matter, energy, space and time, or the Greek letter phi (ø). (HFP, p. 166) 3. simply a composite of energies and particles and spaces which are agreed upon and which are looked at.
