Prior to this, many attempts have been made, both organized and not, to resolve the problems of the mest universe, to reverse the dwindling spiral. A few have succeeded briefly, some for lifetimes, some for trillions of years. Ron briefly touches on this with theta the problem vs theta the solver.

       A path to what, and to where? Is this yellow diamond lane better, will I be better off taking the next exit and taking surface streets? Should I car pool, take a bus, or solo it on a motorcycle. In the main, these questions are only dealing with the how, and not the why or the fact that a way out of the soup must exist.

       If we got in, then we can get out. Even the fact of saying in pre-supposes an out. Then Interiorization rundown is based on that premise.

       All this talk of paths, ways, paths. This concept or that concept is better or not. What passes common inspection is that there is unilateral agreement that life can be improved. This is the common agreement that enable flows to occur. You will hardly find a thetan anywhere that will not agree with that.

       Attack and vilify the CO$? OSA attacking both well meaning and evil intentioned alike? Bomb a mall in Israel, or bomb Saddumb? Well, That is still agreeing that conditions could be improved. Faithful followers of UCP, adherents of Knowlegeism, hard line Ron adherents, Jesus Freaks, Swahili Shamans, and about a thousand or so religions of mankind all profess to have a way, a better way, or THE ONLY WAY. Bullpuckey. The way is the way is the way. Any way that leads to improved conditions of life and more happiness is a valid way.

       Mankind has only erred in its perception of truth. Burn a witch here, torture a christian there, sack this fortress, use a sound cannon to destroy Jericho, implant and A-Bomb the prisoners of Earth, they are all the same. Even Hitler in his twisted way was trying to improve conditions. For him, anyway.

       A being is basically right, they are basically good. He will continue to protest his rightness down to the bottom of the tone scale, and really never gives up, even though he may say he has to avoid more unpleasantness. This can be proven time after time after time by anyone with a bit of patience to sit down and apply some valid therapy to their fellow human beings.

       Even the Suppressive Personality is basically good. He demonstrates this by his own decrease of perception and eventual self destruction. If everyone could just free themselves from their restimulation, the suppressives would eventually take themselves out with never a shot fired at them. They are their own worst enemy.

       Again, that can be quickly discovered by anyone who is willing to set down with a person and get some of his overts and withholds off. Perception increases dramatically.

       If it were not for this fact, man is basically good, there would be no hope at all. Evil pre-supposes good. By taking the blinders and reactive reactions to shadows off of a being, they get better. Every single time, it never fails. If you remove some of the self imposed restrictions from a being, they get more able, more ethical, and happy. That is why the way is the way. There is only one road out, and that road lies in greater understandings, and perception of truth in oneself and in others. The trick is in finding some sort of a codified, communicable, and teachable technology that will produce resolution of the problems of the spirit sufficient to rise above the endless wheel of births and deaths, war, insanity and criminality in a meat body. And if possible, it should be done in one lifetime, and failing that, to re-establish memory that would enable a being to continue fairly uninterrupted the next.

       For my money, Ron provided such a workable technology. He codified many understandings, but the majority of his labor was in making it communicable and teachable. He was the Thomas Edison of immortality. He could easily just rise above it all, and pursue chasing twinkling star adventures and sing songs a galaxy or three away. But he stuck it out, and did his best. He was human, and made mistakes, but the work he did is far far beyond human. No one thinks about whether Thomas Edison stuttered when they turn on the light. Few would wonder whether or not he was taking drugs when they turn on the computer. Who cares. The light works, the computer boots up.

       He might not appreciate the simile, but nonetheless, his basic codification of knowledge made it possible to put a light bulb in the theta houses of earth.

       What we do with that light is our own business, and no two thetans are going to completely agree on what the light shows, or even where to shine it.

       Some say that the state of Advanced Being is impossible. Of course it is. How in the world could a meat body plus spinny thetan even conceive of the state of Advanced Being, much less perceive it. Advanced Being is infinite, and none in the present time space continuum can do much more than describe in limited human terms even its concept. My ideas of what Advanced Being is, here at Full Immortality Course 8, is a far far far cry from what I thought it was when I first walked in the door of the Phoenix mission. I am smart enough now to at least know that I don't know, and probably am not going to know as long as I am compulsively hanging onto a meat body and caring at all about the ant race of mankind or dynamics on this pinpoint of a solar system. How far is up? Just a little above that.

       It is hard to see where you really are until you look back upon where you have came from. The distance between where I am now, and the first time I picked up dianetics is light years, light centuries away. It would take me 30 years to tell all my wins, and by that time I would have more. For I am released from the dwindling spiral. I have nowhere to go but up. Rather simple thing really, it is merely clear across the dynamics. A baby baby Advanced Being.

       So what is a path? It is any path to greater spiritual understanding, providing a workable technology for achieving and teaching that technology to others. Very few of mankind's current paths approach the ep of a well and happy human being. And I only know of one that reverses the dwindling spiral. Just because I do not know of any more does not mean that none can exist however. But I am very pleased to find at least one. And from awareness of source, one can see the workability in a great many paths. They all lead out. All of them, every single one will lead out. Most of them that I see will take much longer than the billion years or so that I signed up for though, and I am in a hurry to start my vacation. :)

       The big miracle to me is that a person can be taken from "What wall?" to Immortality Course Section 8 in only a couple of years, and IC 9 in a couple more of training. Being a speed freak at heart, I think I will stick to what I know works fast and well.

       Rons path is not for everyone now. But it works for nearly anyone, and magically for most.

       My goal is to provide a common orientation point in the free zone for those wishing to continue or start on this path, free from distractions and suppression. The creation of 50 Full Immortality Course 8's in ten years should be rapid enough group case gain to rise above the out ruds of the dynamic banks, and the door is open and will continue to be open a crack to all who wish to enter.
