There are many, many Independent groups delivering Scientology services over the planet. These groups are not governed or connected by a management network. The label "squirrel" (per the Tech Dictionary) could not be applied to any of the groups we're in comm with.
The whole Bridge is available outside of the Church, at considerably lower cost, and in the hands of very highly trained Scientologists. (The majority of the Class 12's are now outside of the Church, for example.)
In mid-November Harvey Haber of David Mayo's Advanced Ability Center visited the UK to give a talk and answer questions.
The AAC is determined to maintain a high tech to admin ratio, so 10 of the 14 staff are on tech posts. Two of the staff are Class 12's; Nine are NOTs auditors; Eight are LRH trained; Three are ex-heads of Ron's research team (Donna Haber was head of the team which researched and compiled the Key to Life under Ron's supervision). Ken Urquhart was LRH Personal Communicator for 8 years. John Nelson and Dede Riesdorf are both ex-chairmen of the Watchdog Committee, and thusly ex-CO's of CMO Int, which used to be the Commodore's personal Org. When David Mayo was Senior C\S Flag a telex was received from Ron via Ken Urquhart stating that David is "the best C\S in the world" (We have a witnessed affidavit to this effect.)
The Bridge, including Solo NOTs, is available from the AAC. The flow of public has been remarkable, and the successes dazzling, as witnessed by this letter, received from a girl who went out to the AAC from the UK for a NOTs review:
"Hello from Montecito. The Centre is the most aesthetic and upstat Scn. place I have to date come across. Modern, computer accounting and CF ... 10 minutes after my arrival at the Centre I had a D of P and that afternoon my first session. One and a quarter years of personal agony was handled in 1 hour's auditing. In fact I over-ran ... it just didn't occur to me that I could have handled it that fast. The C\Sing is VERY direct. No nonsense, exactly handling what one wants. The auditing sensitive and accurate. You asked about Ken Urquhart. He's my auditor ... David is here and in circulation. Very unassuming, also auditing. The accent is very much on production and fulfilling the purpose of getting people up the Bridge ..."
And a Success on completing OT2:
"I LOVED it! I had so many wonderful wins and cognitions. This level really rehabilitated abilities lost for a long, long time. The tech is so powerful; LRH is truly a genius. Many thanks to my C\S - sure helps when you've got a great supporting staff, I feel just great!!"
