Cruise says only scientologists can handle emergencies

[SME]

Recently I saw that Tom Cruise video again where re ranted on about scientology and said that only scientologists could help at accidents and things like that. I also just read a thread on clambake about “ethics” in organized scientology and how that developed and was applied.

In September 1973 I started on staff at AOLA (Advanced Organization of Los Angeles) as a lowly “HGC Admin” (Hubbard Guidance Center Administrator) which meant I was the guy who did the low level work to ensure paying scientology public got into and out of session in the HGC by ensuring they arrived on time, the auditors had supplies, the rooms were clean, etc. When someone arrived for their scheduled session I would have them take a seat and would go get his or her auditor to come out and take that person into session.

At that time I was just above “raw meat”, had no authority in scientology, no auditing and had only done an introductory course. I had just quit college to join staff at AOLA.

I got a call that a public named Hans Benekee (I do not know how to spell his last name but as I recall it sounds like “Ben a key”) was coming to the HGC and when he arrived make sure he got into session ASAP.

Hans arrived at the HGC, I greeted him and had him take a seat and immediately went off to get his auditor in the back. I came out with the auditor only to find Hans having convulsions on the couch and frothing at the mouth. It was shocking as only a minute or so before he calmly walked up to the HGC window and told me he was there for his session.

Here’s the part of this story that tells what Tom Cruise meant when he said only scientologists could handle it. Immediately that auditor, another auditor and the boss of the auditors known as the Director of Processing stood in front of the couch around the convulsing Hans and were postulating that he get better (yes that is what they said later). One of them, his auditor, was giving verbal commands to Hans and to this day I will never forget it. She ordered him sternly “you get back into that body”.

Meanwhile Hans was dying, froth over almost all of the lower half of his face and he had stopped convulsing showing almost zero signs of life if any. All this happened maybe over a period of two minutes as I as the new guy watched the highly respected auditors “handle” the situation. Finally I could not stand it and I pushed myself through the auditors, got down on my knees, quickly wiped the froth from his face, looked for anything in his mouth and frantically gave him artificial respiration trying to save his life. I was not successful and quickly realized I was giving it to a dead man but still tried. I did everything I knew to try to save him but was too late. Maybe 10 minutes later (am not sure on the time) an ambulance arrived, took over and could not revive him.

Hans Benekee was dead.

Hans had died right there in the HGC with top scientology auditors all around him doing what Tom Cruise ranted about only scientologists could do to help. To this day I believe that if any decent medical practitioner were there Hans would have lived. I also believe that if I had not stood there as the newbee letting the auditors try to handle him with their version of “scientology”, if I realized they were full of it and I just jumped in and tried to revive him in the first few seconds that I may have saved his life.

I’ll never know but I guess I just wanted to give an informed opinion of just how crazy Cruise really was when he said only scientologists could help in such an emergency.

BTW, ten of us on AOLA staff were Comm Eved for his death and it was brutal. It included me, the auditors, the main technical staff and qual staff over Hans at AOLA including the head of the Tech Division “Kay Boland/Mamanakas (spelling?). We were about to be creamed when Hubbard sent a telex ordering the comm eve stopped as we “were upstat”. That also shows you just how much money can have to do with justice in organized scientology. All was cancelled and Hubbard even wrote a little process for us “AOLA 10” to do to help handle the “wrong indications” as we never should have had harsh justice applied to us when our stats were so up, even though someone died.

The Comm Eve never would have resulted in the real causes being found or anything else good coming from this in the future. I know this as it was “finding” that Hans died because he had not completed OT II and saw the OT III Materials. He was already showing signs of a medical problem but it was attributed to the above. OMG! Yet another person with an obvious medical condition is left untreated and dies trying to handle everything with the OT levels.

So there is another story, if old, of death in the hands of unqualified people trying to practice medicine and/or psychology.

I know I tried my best to save Hans but it was not enough. I do regret that I was unwittingly a believer in and part of a group that could let something like this happen.

Tom Cruise if somehow you ever read this please know how completely wrong your statement is that only scientologists can help in such a situation. Many have died just because of that belief as unqualified people in organized scientology try to practice medicine/psychology. You have been promoting a dangerous cult and its highly dangerous practices. Yet there is still time for you to join others out here trying to do something about it now.

IMHO

THE "BRING BACK TO LIFE" ASSIST

(The data contained in this HCOB is not to be construed
as a recommendation of medical treatment or medication.
This issue does not supplant, nor is it intended to dissuade,
anyone from seeking competent medical attention for any
physical condition. The method given in this issue is
delivered by anyone on his own responsibility.)

DOING A BUNK

"Doing a bunk" is an English slang term meaning "running
away or deserting."

In our terminology it means that a person shoots out of his
head. He actually abandons the body, i.e., the being is really
gone.

There is a difference between a thetan leaving the body
and a thetan going unconscious. When a person is
unconscious, he will still be breathing and will have a pulse.
But when a person has left, pulse and breath may stop.

Someone who has done a bunk must be handled within
three to four minutes. A maximum amount of time would
be eight minutes, but by this time physical damage will
probably have occurred.

An assist can be done to bring the person back to life.
Anyone attempting such a handling must act fast.

COMMUNICATION LINE

When someone has done a bunk, there is still a
communication line to the body. There is always a
communication line to the body because the thetan is tuned
up to the wavelength of the ridges of that body. Therefore,
even if the thetan is six universes away, he can still
communicate through the body.

ASSIST

If a person has done a bunk, you can simply order him to
come back and bring the body to life. The commands are
addressed to the person and should be given in a tone
of authority.

It would be as simple as commanding, "Come back and
bring this body to life!" Or ordering the person, "Come
back here and pick up your body! At once! Pick it up! I
order you! Right now!"

You just keep commanding him with Tone 40. He is still
around and can be gotten to come back again.

There is another means of bringing a person back to life.
You can coax the person back. In one case, an auditor
pleaded along the lines that the person should remember
her husband, should think of her children, and so on, all
with no response. He couldn't get her to pick up the body
at all. Finally, the auditor said, "Think of your poor
auditor!" at which point she came back and brought the
body to life.

Once you have brought the person back to life, that is the
end of this assist action. Of course, if it is needed, the
person should be fully handled with medical treatment
and further assist actions to make him completely well.

Process sensation when you’re trying to break those internal
lines, desire for sensation, and remember to process desire
for sensation when you’re… when you have your thetan
snapping into heads. That’s desire and thirst for sensation -
must have is what’s got him there - so he’s riding on that
postulate, which is the only reason he’d snap into a head.

He never knew that before. He wants to get something out
of this body so the second something goes wrong with
energy, he’ll snap in. Before he can undo anything he’s
doing and remember that the thetan who shifts around
inside his head is trying to keep from having a sensation.

He gets flows go… start going past him, and the flows go
past him. He’s trying to keep from being afraid. He’s trying
to hold on. He’s gone to the point now, and oddly enough
this person seldom gets any pleasant sensations in the
body anymore.

He’s trying to hold on, he slips, he’s skidding around. And
he hasn’t got any time to work those communication lines
to areas of sensation. He’s just trying to stay there, that’s
all. That’s idiotic as the devil because the one thing you
want him to do is get someplace else. And really the one
thing he basically wants to do is go someplace else, and
yet every action he takes is an action to hold on to where
he is.

Sometimes you start to bust this up, and it happens very
fast, that thetan will do a bunk, to use a British
colloquialism, he will do a bunk. You say, "All right," to this
pleasant girl and she’s sitting there and everything’s fine.
And, "Yeah, all right, now you be a foot back of your head,
just be two feet back of your head."

"Nuooong!" and the body goes collapse.

You say, "Hey." No answer, the heart’s still beating, the
lungs are still breathing ‘cause the GE runs those, but the
thetan he’s done a bunk.

She is just passing Arcturus. You say, "Hey." One of them
… one very good gag that went on and on and the auditor
coaxing her - "Think of your family. Why don’t you come
back?" - Trying to get to reassume responsibility for the
body, you see. "Think of your family, uh… think of this,
think of that, think of something else," and so on.

And nothing happened and that body was just sitting there
like a lump of clay, you see, completely flopped. No
controls on it, nothing on it at all but sure there’s a
communication line. There always is a communication line
to the body because it’s tuned up on wave lengths.

Don’t look for an actual cable between the body and the
thetan - he’s all tuned up to the wave length of the ridges
of this body. Of course, he could talk through it if he were
six universes away. That’s… that’s he’s just tuned up to
that wave length. There’s no such thing as space. All right.

Now… uh… you’ve got… you’ve got a thetan there who is
on her way. Finally this guy says, "Well, think of your poor
auditor." And she came back. And so there… there is the
preclear doing the bunk.

What happened there is it just had never occurred to this
preclear before that you could do it all the way. This
preclear had fooled around with astral walking and a lot of
other things which are not similar to this. And you could do
it all the way and there was all of you there and you were
gone and on your way and it was so nice to get off of the
surface of Earth and get on your way and she didn’t have
any idea where she was going. It was just she was on her
way. She was doing a bunk.

So if somebody does a bunk on you, coax them back. They
seldom leave dead bodies on your hands.

Well, what happened is… is this preclear is suddenly
shedding all his responsibilities. Once in a while you get that
case. Don’t let it stop your own heart - they’re… they’re
quite startling. Uh… sometimes they get out and they don’t
know how to make the body handle anymore.

Well, get them to pick up a finger and drop the finger. Pick
up a hand and drop the hand and move the hands around.
And move the head around. They say, "Aw, I can run that
thing, to hell with it."

Okay, let’s take a break.

The funniest tale of all of that is, we’ve never had a
catastrophe with it. But the funniest tale of all of that is the
auditor who all of a sudden had a pc—the English slang
term was “do a bunk”, which meant run away or desert—
and they started calling this “do a bunk”. Actually, this
auditor had a pc and the pc did a bunk. Well, when they
really do a bunk, boy they do a bunk.

They’re going past Arcturus, as I’ve said before, at 90
miles an hour, or two light years a second, and really did
a bunk. When they do that the whole body collapses and
their arms will hang down and they look like an old rag
doll that somebody has just grabbed half the stuffing’s
out of.

They really Bzuhhhh, that’s it. They don’t roll up on the
floor in a prenatal or something like that. They just go.
That’s it, you know, boom.

And this auditor talked and talked because they’re still
in dim communication, you see. And he talked and talked
to her—”Think of your husband, think of your children,
think of . . .” and so on and he talked and talked to her.
He couldn’t get her to come back and pick up the body at
all. Till all of a sudden he happened to think, “Think of your
poor auditor,” and she came back and picked up the body.

I was just a couple of minutes late. State cops were in my
way, but a Negro had been drowned and I was just . . .
They were in my road to a point where I couldn’t get to the
guy and tell him to pick up the body again, where he would
have, don’t you see. And they were busy resuscitating him
and that was the end of that. It was too late. He really had
done a bunk. He finished.

We’ve actually brought little kids back to life and that sort
of thing—just tell them “pick up the body,” you know.
Now, you just tell them with tone 40, just say it around
the vicinity.

They’re still around. And back they come again.

As a matter of fact, Washington, DC. got very mad at a
Scientologist one time. He decided he was going to do a
bunk and he was, going to drop the body and he did. He
just had an unpleasant afternoon with IRS, and he came
back and he just kicked the bucket. That was it, colder
than ice and he just wouldn’t pick up the body again. And
they told him and they told him and they told him and he
wouldn’t. That was it. He, by the way, has shown up again
calling for his favorite cigars at two years old.

But anyhow, the upshot of all of this is, is this opens
door to a fabulous amount of action on your part which will
sometimes look very magical, because remedy of
havingness in various ways.

Larry - thanks a lot for that story. You did your best. It took courage to step in when others of higher rank were standing there 'postulating'.

When I did the Purif at ASHO, one guy got cancer. He was told that the Purif had keyed it in and since he would have gotten it sooner or later the best thing to do was to continue on with the process, which he did. He died, of course.

An ex-StL staff member was auditing in LA and her PC was killed in a mo-ped accident on one of the LA freeway on-ramps. The finding was that the PC had been left unflat on a process and the auditor went through some Qual clean-up. But a person had died.

I got up to 2800 mgs of niacin during the two months of Purif - an amount that could have seriously damaged my liver. Fortunately, it didn't. What ever made LRH think he knew more than medical people - to create the Purif and subjecting trusting people to taking huge amounts of vitamins? He had no medical training. Yes, there were good outcomes, but it would be interesting to take a survey of everyone who did that program to find out the results, short-term and long-term.

Another St Louis guy, having recently finished OT VII, I believe, was in an auto accident and lost both of his legs. How does that fit in with the EP - something close to 'cause over life' or some other nonsense?

No one is cause over life. We are not gods. We can only do the best we can in any situation IF we are clear-headed, aware of what is going on around us, and willing to take responsibility.

Thank you Larry for your insight. It was much appreciated. We all in some form wish to aid or assist our fellow man. Funny how it takes age and maturity to see clearly huh! For some of us our youthful zeal and energies while well intentioned misdirected us.

There is something to be said about growing old. With age we acquire knowledge and experience. Then we glean the best of this knowledge and pass it on to the next generation. That gained knowledge is imho one of the cornerstones of the critic's movement.

Many of us have grown and learned from our experiences. To share the pit falls of these collective experiences is to progress!

I totally agree with SME/Larry. I joined because the idea of clearing the planet was exciting. I wanted to be a part of that. Even later on, when conditions were difficult, I stayed in the fight to produce because I have GIVEN MY WORD ... and that was important to me. I did not feel I could walk away from people I liked and who were working just as hard to do their jobs.

Later on, I could not believe what I had tolerated - just having gotten out of four year in the military and served in SEA. Staying on staff and remaining involved after staff cost me my GI Bill (free education), which have gotten me training in a REAL job - something with which I could have made a decent living.

We all heard the BS stories of how Mexico was going to be the first Clear country. HA HA HA HA. That place is still insane and getting worse.

The absolute worst thing about joining the Org, for me, was losing an entire set of friends, people with whom I had worked and known for a number of years. I simply did not have the time to spend with them.

Then, when I left the Org, I lost another set of friends - many of whom are still involved and cannot talk to me for fear of becoming "PTS".

One of my ex-girlfriends, who has been at Renaissance Academy in LA for years, told me as I was leaving LA, that she would not talk to me until I "came to my senses".

I think I came to my senses when I left. Unfortunately, it took too long to happen and there are many wasting their lives in the Org who have not come to their senses.

The majority, as has been said, are good people. They are simply trusting in a technology created by a guy who convinced others to give up any idea of a normal life for "A Piece of Blue Sky".

I would rather keep my head out of the clouds and, as Red Green says, keep my "stick on the ice".

Thank you all for you words.
