New Facebook Group!

We are building a new community in accordance with my article on this website, “I am a Free Scientologist”, and I would welcome your participation as a kindred spirit who can be supportive of anyone and everyone seeking to experience and/or help others to experience enlightenment and improvement through whatever modality of  Scientology-related techniques they are interested in, as you pursue your own path in this direction. Just send me a message on Facebook to let me know you want in to the Free Scientologist Facebook Group!

Love, Dexter Gelfand

I recently took on a new PC who had never experienced processing before. Her parents were Scientologists, and her mother was happy to find out that her daughter was now ready and interested, sought someone qualified and experienced in the region, and was connected to me.
We began with an interview, in which it came up that this young lady currently uses marijuana.
Rather than trying to enforce that she must discontinue drug use, or give her an ultimatum that it was “my way or the highway”, I gave her a sample session of objective processing, which went very well, and then explained to her that while I wasn’t about to force a decision on her, continued indulging in drugs would certainly diminish how well the processing would work for her, and if she was going to continue drug use, I would do my best to give her good results, but the effectiveness will be compromised. I also told her that the most important thing to me was that she continued to be completely honest and communicative with me. With this in mind, we agreed to an auditing schedule.
Yesterday, the PC showed up for session, and when I checked for drugs/alcohol, she told me she’d had none since her previous session, and that she’d made a decision that she wanted all she could get out of her case handling, and so she was done with drugs!
We went in session, and she did extremely well. I couldn’t feel happier for the PC, her mother, and myself!

The following volunteered success story was emailed to me last week, following a productive session we had earlier that day:

In today’s Power session, Dex handled some heavy charge of mine and helped me through it. Something that had been bugging me for decades had started turning on very acutely recently, so after I told Dex about it, he right there made the appropriate changes to my program. No waiting 2-4 days for the adjustments to be made in your folders, like at Flag.

LRH said that if you have a failed purpose, you have to “rekindle the failed purpose.” I had had a failed purpose to go up the Bridge. That Bridge is now a travesty of LRH’s actual route to freedom. Indeed, at Flag, I had so many stops on my lines that it was becoming an overt in Flag’s eyes for me to originate that I wasn’t winning, even after having L’s rundowns. Even my desire for wins was “made wrong” and they (the triumvirate of C/S, ethics officer and auditor) forced me to think that my desire for a win was the result of a hidden standard.

Dex has done what I felt was impossible; rekindle my failed purpose of going up the Bridge. The Flag apparatus (or should I say Apparatchik?) has a major source of competition here, a one-man operation in Northern California. Actually, it’s no competition really; unless Flag gets their humanity back, Dex has them beat hands-down. His “care factor” and purpose as an auditor are so high that I strongly believe these factors are why DEXTER’S POWER SESSIONS ARE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN FLAG’S L’S RUNDOWNS.

If you have doubts about the “progress” you’re making in the Church, or, if you’ve quietly left the Church and, just like me, felt a huge loss across your dynamics, I invite you to talk to Dex. I sincerely hope that you will become as excited as I am about going free, for real. Dex is the win I want others to have.

For some time now, I have basically seen through the concept of the “suppressive person”, in my view it is the oldest game in this universe- create an effect, and gain persistence through assignment of mis-ownership, in other words, blame. Where one accepts responsibility for what one experiences (through recognizing their craving for the effect in the first place) there are no “suppressive persons”, only convenient game partners and environmental tools.

When I hear a person go on about “SP’s” and/or “suppressive organizations”, I see it for what it is, the being is reveling in the games of their own choice. This is a good example of why, in the Book of Case Remedies, LRH defined the purpose of Scientology as being “To bring about the playing of a better game”. That is the ultimate solution to the tendency to go PTS- decide to play a better game, and do so.

Of course, one can continue to go on and on about “the suppressive enemy”, if that’s the tone and level of existence one prefers.

In all the “PTS handlings” I have ever done, going back about 30 years, every single one was resolved, not by disconnecting, not by “recognizing the external source”, but by recognizing one’s own responsibility for the “situation”.

John McMasters, working at Hubbard’s bequest to solve the puzzle, had it right back in 1965:

Due to the connotations, groupings and individuations that have evolved over the years in relation to the terms “freezoner” and “independent Scientologist”, I’m electing to coin a fresh term, “free Scientologist”, devoid of the considerations of pro- and anti- CoS, pro- and anti- Marty Rathbun, Miscavige, and any and all other game-players, disaffections and allegiances, as they all stray from the basic purpose.

A free Scientologist is, simply, and only, one who actively works to accomplish, for self and others, case gain (both positive and negative) and enlightenment (knowledge and awareness of the truths of existence) through learning and applying the principles and techniques of Scientology, and/or related means, as they themselves define or see fit. A free Scientologist’s view of what is and isn’t Scientology is subject and open to change, growth and evolution as they make their journey.

No other strictures apply to this term, as I have coined it. I am a free Scientologist, and I grant acceptance and beingness to all to whom this definition applies, without prejudice.

Love, Dex
