26 Sep 2007 — A Surprising Australian Welcome to the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Outback Goodwill Tour

Volunteer Ministers
Goodwill tours travel to remote areas to bring one-on-one help and training, based on the Scientology Handbook, by L. Ron Hubbard, to remote locations. But if they expected the Australian Outback to be an ordinary place, the Goodwill Tour team quickly learned otherwise, as their arrival in Alice Springs coincided with the Henley-On-Todd River Race.

In a classic example of Australian humor, this "river race," now in its 46th consecutive year, is a rowing and sailing regatta held 1500 kms (932 miles) from any large body of water, and the boats, canoes and yachts that compete are bottomless shells, carried down the dry riverbed by teams of runners who race one another to the finish line on foot.

Last Respects

At a motivational seminar 3 men are asked to come up to the stage.

They are all asked, "When you are in your casket and friends and family are mourning upon you, what would you like to hear them say about you?

The first guy says, "I would like to hear them say that I was the great doctor of my time, and a great family man."

The second guy says, "I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge difference in our children of tomorrow."

The last guy replies, "I would like to hear them say...... LOOK!!! HE'S MOVING!!!!!"

The Secret !



In English please:
Yesterday I watched a series called “The secret” it is a good show in that there is a secret and that you can have it.

First it told you what the secret was which is: the Law of Attraction

Originally 7 steps, on the TV series it only shows 4 steps. The other steps are blended in the series in another way.
"Seven Steps in Demonstration" first outlined in the famous non-denominational New Thought book Become What You Believe by Mildred Mann (1904 - 1971):

• Desire. Get a strong enthusiasm for that which you want in your life, a real longing for something which is not there now.

• Decision. Know definitely what it is that you want, what it is that you want to do or have, and be willing to pay in spiritual values.

• Ask. [When sure and enthusiastic] ask for it in simple, concise language. . . .

• Believe. Believe in the accomplishment with strong faith, consciously and subconsciously.

• Work. Work at it. . . a few minutes daily, seeing yourself in the finished picture. Never outline details, but rather see yourself enjoying the particular thing . . .

• Feel gratitude. Always remember to say, "Thank you, God," and begin to feel the gratitude in your heart. The most powerful prayer we can ever make is those three words, provided we really feel it.

• Feel expectancy. Train yourself to live in a state of happy expectancy. . . . Act it until it becomes part of you, as it must and will.


The result of works as above and other has led to many books on the subject of “power of positive thinking” etc.

The Secret, and the many other ideas that exist, is, that someone wants to improve the state of people. Truth, secrets etc have to be delivered in a way the makes you wonder. Wise men on the mountain, animals and even cultures hidden in the jungle appear to know the secret of the universe. It is not so. They know some things, they have some truth, but the ultimate truth is not known to them. These secrets that some pretend to have offer a quick fix, and it works for quite a few people for a short while, if you want lasting results you better do a proper study of life. Learning Scientology is not easy, Scientology is not a quick fix, it can be, but is not.You have to get into Scientology and be ready to roll your sleeves up. It’s read, read, read, drill , drill ,drill, there is no let’s all sit on the floor in a circle in the lotus position with our eyes closed and think happy thoughts.

When you study Scientology, you will for the first time in your existence, discover what truth is and in addition to that, you then will become the “wise man or woman” and you will know a lot of secrets.

L. Ron Hubbard did something that will baffle man for quite some time. He discovered the laws of life completely. No stone in the entire universe remains unturned by L.Ron Hubbard. You can venture into life and go anywhere at any point, and knowing Scientology you will be armed with the most workable solution in that area that anyone before you had. Scientology is the deadliest weapon you can have.

There is a lot to know and this is only a short time to know it in. A mortgage, a fancy car, the millions of dollars compares nothing to the wealth of knowledge you can gain using Scientology. This planet won’t last forever; the mad men on this planet could destroy it anytime and without proper Scientology organizations in place or Advanced Scientology Organizations in place it will be hard to get the full benefits of Scientology that is currently available. But that is not the threat; Man has a crazy tendency to alter things and create unworkable technology and that is a threat.

Solution: Know Scientology well and know it fast.

According to research at an english university, it doesn't matter in what order the letters
in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter is at the right place.
The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem.
This is because we do not read every letter by it self but the word as a whole.

Food for thought

In English please:
Seeing is believing?

A teacher was going to explain evolution to the children.
The teacher asked a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. He
doesn't exist.

A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions.
The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy:
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time).
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she
must not have one!

My 100th Post! Yippee




In English please:

A little explanation to this blog:

This is a personal blog that has to do with me and my interests. Some of my interests are:
Scientology, Studying and History.

My blog is titled Scientology et al.

Et Al, in this case means “and others”. So this is not wholly a Scientology blog but also about my experiences in life, though I do actively promote Scientology in my blog.

This blog usually has 2 sections:

1) In English please section
2) In Gobbledygook please section

When I first discovered the idea that people can read something with the letters being totally re-arranged it found it fascinating. I was speaking to friend at work and we thought it would be a good idea to create magazine that was totally jumbled up. We went on the basis, even if it was only one edition; it would sell, just as a novelty, as people would buy it for collection.

I started my blog and thought I’d implement this in my blog to see how it would work.
I then realized that I would like more people visiting my blog and that sometimes people mis-spell things when searching for something and this already had paid off. Sometimes a person type in a wrong word and my blog will come up in the search results.

I have seen many blogs and they are pretty much the same, I wanted to make my blog personal, not just another blog, but something that I could create on.

Doing this seemed to work for me.

I have on most pages a Quote from the works of Benjamin Franklin of his work called
“Poor Richard’s Almanac” . I selected Benjamin Franklin to show that there have been many wise person who has contributed to the forward advance of Man over the ages.
I would have used Quotes from L. Ron Hubbard but didn’t feel it was necessary as there are many a blog or website already doing that.

In addition, each person has a viewpoint about something, whether this viewpoint is right or wrong is beside the point, but there as many viewpoints or opinions as there are people.

You will see I have a quotation on my own on most of my entries. This quotation I usually dream up each day before “publishing” my blog. I do my quotations to be interesting.

It takes me about 1 hour to start my blog and then take it to completion. I do not like to spend more than 45mins to 1 hour on my blog a day. This means you will at times find errors on the blog, grammatical, spelling or otherwise. I do not do much editing due to time constraints but I know the errors will reduce over time.

My blog is at the time of this writing updated daily. I do not know what my theme will be until I get home and then start writing. It is mostly impromptu.

The reason I started this blog is due to the mis information some bad intentioned individuals spread about Scientology.

Scientology is there for anyone to find out about, there are no secrets, you do not have to do Scientology. Some people are so mad that they would stop others from doing it, which some mad people are currently promoting.

Find out for yourself.

A lttile ealpxitanon to tihs bgol:

This is a pesrnoal bolg taht has to do wtih me and my inretsets. Smoe of my ietnserts aer:
Sneicotgoly, Sutdniyg and Hotsiry.

My bolg is tltied Sicnelotgoy et al.

Et Al, in this csae mnaes "and oehtrs". So tihs is not wlohly a Sicneolotgy bolg but aslo auobt my exirepeecns in life, tuohgh I do acevitly poromte Sicotnelgoy in my blog.

This bolg uauslly has 2 sectnois:

1) In Enilgsh plaese seoitcn
2) In Goelbbgydook plsaee sceoitn

When I fisrt dsivocered the ieda taht people can raed stemonihg with the lteetrs bnieg tolatly rera-narged it fonud it fasanicitng. I was saepnikg to feirnd at wrok and we tohuhgt it wuold be a good ieda to certae mzagaine taht was tatolly jubmeld up. We wnet on the baiss, eevn if it was olny one eitidon; it wluod slel, jsut as a nlevoty, as poelpe wolud buy it for cloceliton.

I sattred my bolg and thuohgt I'd imelpnemt tihs in my bolg to see how it wuold wrok.
I tehn rlaeized taht I wluod lkie mroe people visinitg my bolg and taht stemoemis plpoee ms-silepl thgnis wehn sehcraing for smotenihg and tihs aerlady had piad off. Stemoemis a peosrn tpye in a wnorg wrod and my blog wlil cmoe up in the secrah reustls.

I have seen mnay blgos and tehy are prtety mcuh the smae, I wtnaed to mkae my bolg pesranol, not jsut atonehr blog, but sohtemnig that I cuold crtaee on.

Dniog tihs smeeed to wrok for me.

I hvae on most pegas a Qtoue form the wkros of Bneimajn Farlknin of his wrok claeld
"Poor Rciahrd's Aamlanc" . I seletced Bjnemain Frknailn to show taht tehre have been mnay wsie posren who has coirtnetubd to the fowrard aavdcne of Man oevr the ages.
Sceitnlosigot do hvae ohter ietnserts. I would hvae uesd Qtoues form L. Ron Habburd but ddin't feel it was nessecray as tehre are mnay a bolg or wisbete aerlday dniog taht.

In aditidon, each preosn has a viopwenit aobut smohtenig, whteher this vweiniopt is rhgit or wnorg is bedise the pniot, but three as many veiwniopts or onipinos as three are plpoee.

You will see I have a qutatooin on my own on most of my etnires. This qtoutaion I uauslly dream up each day bofere "pbuhsilnig" my bolg. I do my qtoutanois to be ietntsernig.

It tekas me aobut 1 huor to sratt my bolg and tehn tkae it to copmlteoin. I do not lkie to sepnd mroe tahn 4-51 huor on my blog a day. Tihs mnaes you wlil at tmies find eorrrs on the bolg, gmarmitaacl, seplilng or ohtwreise. I do not do much eidnitg due to tmie ctsnoartnis but I know the errors wlil rdeuce over tmie.

My bolg is at the tmie of tihs wtiring utadped dliay. I do not konw waht my thmee will be uitnl I get hmoe and tehn sratt wtirnig. It is mtsoly imrpmotpu.

The reosan I stetrad tihs bolg is due to the mis ifnamrotoin some bad ietnoitnend ividndiaul spread auobt Scneilotgoy.

Sicelotngoy is trehe for aoynne to find out aobut, three are no setercs, you do not have to do Sicnelotogy, but at the smae tmie you do not have to be so mad that you wluod stop otehrs from dniog it, whcih some mad poelpe are crrultney pmoritong.

A day in my Life.



In English please:

I am glad I grew up in an era where I was allowed to play the game of life and had the opportunity to experience life as a child. This means that I even at the age of 6 years of age was out and about, swimming in local Dams, going into the nearby forests on my own and had very little fear of “consequences” – If my mum knew of all the things I got up to as a child she would probably have locked me up in the house, however I lived a very simple life.

Saturday morning: I woke up, got out of bed, got dressed, didn’t make the bed, went to the bathroom, washed the face, and ate some breakfast which was usually a sandwich with margarine and peanut butter with jam.

Then I’d set about my adventure:

This particular day it is setting out on an exploration with my friends to discover where the water pipes go to. Roads usually have a drainage system and the water collects somewhere, we wanted to know where. I was about 8 years of age, I gathered 2 more friends and off we headed, into the bush, about 1 km from my home. We go to the dam, we use to call it the coffee dam, as the water had that color to it, the water was never clear.

We had to make our way to the pipe. It was about 1.5 meters in diameter so walking upright was quite easy, but looking into the pipe all you could see was darkness. The bottom of the pipe, covering about a foot in length was a constant stream of water.
The this area was soggy, with moss, bugs, spiders, frogs and things you knew was there but we just couldn’t see. Once we chased a snake into the pipe, so we knew snakes also lived there.

However these things didn’t daunt our young adventurous minds and we walked inside, I must say it was scary. We walked trying to not walk in the water, so we had to walk on either one side or the other of the water, in a round pipe this is not very easy as sometimes the water was more in certain places it made making a bit hard. We walked for 200 meters into the pipe. When looking back all I could see was the “light at the end of the tunnel” and it was getting really dark, the dampness was intense. As we could not see much ahead of us we decided to return, I think each of us was happy of coming out of the darkness.

We safely returned no injuries, no bites, and no breakages. Some people might say, oh! That’s stupid and think of all the things that could have gone wrong. My remark to them is: think of all the things that could potentially happen to you right this instant. You could go to the bathroom, slip, hit your head against something and be dead. A spider could be living in your house and bite you and you would be dead. You touch the stove and be electrocuted.

Aontehr day in the lfie of Rciky Sdnuasre:

I am gald I gerw up in an era whree I was alolewd to paly the gmae of life and had the optropnutiy eepxeirnce lfie as a cihld. This mnaes that I eevn at the age of 6 yeras of age was out and aobut, siwmmnig in loacl Dams, giong itno the nbraey foserts on my own and had vrey llttie faer of "cesnouqneecs" - If my mum knew of all the tgnihs I got up to as a cihld she wuold paborbly hvae lkcoed me up in the hsuoe, hvewoer I lvied a very slpmie lfie.

Sutaadry minrong: I woke up, got out of bed, got dseresd, didn't mkae the bed, wnet to the bhtaoorm, wehsad the fcae, and ate smoe bkaerafst wcihh was uusally a saiwdnch wtih mgraranie and peunat bttuer wtih jam.

Then I'd set about my avdenrute:

Tihs ptraluciar day it is sttenig out on an exlptaroion wtih my frneids to divocser wrehe the waetr pipes go to. Raods ulausly hvae a dniargae syetsm and the wtaer clocelts sowemehre, we wetnad to know wrehe. I was about 8 yaers of age, I ghtaered 2 mroe freidns and off we hedaed, into the bsuh, aobut 1 km form my hmoe. We go to the dam, we use to call it the cffoee dam, as the wetar had taht color to it, the wetar was never caelr.

We had to mkae our way to the pipe. It was auobt 1.5 mretes in demaietr so wklaing ugirpht was qutie easy, but loonikg itno the ppie all you cuold see was dkrasens. The bottom of the pipe, coreving auobt a foot in ltgneh was a cnotsnat sertam of wetar.
The tihs aera was sggoy, with msos, bgus, sipders, frgos and tgnihs you kenw was trehe but we just cdluon't see. Ocne we chaesd a sanke itno the ppie, so we kenw skanes also levid trehe.

Hoewevr tsehe tgnihs didn't danut our ynuog aevdtnoruus mnids and we wlaekd idisne, I msut say it was scray. We wklaed triyng to not wlak in the waetr, so we had to wlak on eehtir one sdie or the oehtr of the waetr, in a ronud ppie tihs is not very esay as semoemits the water was more in ctreain pecals it mdae mkanig a bit hard. We waekld for 200 mretes itno the ppie. Wehn lkoonig back all I cuold see was the "lhgit at the end of the tunnel" and it was gttenig rllaey dark, the dmanpess was itnsnee. As we colud not see mcuh ahaed of us we dceedid to rruten, I tnihk ecah of us was happy of cnimog out of the drasenks.

We sefaly rteruend no iujneirs, no bties, and no baerkegas. Smoe plpoee mihgt say, oh! Taht's sputid and tnihk of all the thgnis taht cuold hvae gnoe wnorg. My rramek to tehm is: tnihk of all the tihgns that cluod ptotneially heppan to you rhgit tihs itsnnat. You cluod go to the btaoorhm, silp, hit yuor haed agasnit smoihteng and be daed. A spdier colud be liivng in yuor house and btie you and you wuold be daed. You tuoch the svote and be etcelucoretd.
