M agazine s aim:
In 1934 the book Scientologie by A. Norden
holz was published. In the middle of the
twentieth century the subject of Scientology
was greatly expanded as a philosophy and
technology by L. Ron Hubbard and a big
band of helpers. As a subject it is very much
alive. As in any alive subject new ideas are
occurring all over the world.
It is with this subject which International
Viewpoints deals. We are independent of any
group (sect if you like). Communication is re
garded as one of the basic activities of life,
and our concern is to provide a channel of
communication, and increase and improve
communication.

Dont forget that LRH was founder from 1950. Mary Sue talked about it once. Every place in the USA
that he ever set up, he was run out of town. In 1963 they had the DC raid, and he went to the UK. He was
thrown out of the UK, Greece, Morocco, Corfu, the West Indies and had to leave Florida. She said that
she personally aligned more closely with Bashars channelled comments on Scientology, i.e. that he has
helped us by presenting Orion tech from which we could consciously create and break from once and for
all, and go for personal freedom. Everyone is now creating their own personal approach and actions.
My secret via informs me: Orion energy is that of control and domination.

Gregory Unsworth-Mitchell was bom in 1947. In early childhood, he was strongly influenced by both Grandfathers, who
were inventors and innovators, and his mother, Irene Mumford, who was among the founding members of Scientology. At
school, he became convinced that an unintelligent person was only unintelligent, because he had a bad script, and that he
could learn to throw away that script and expand both intelligence and the power of mind. Gregory Mitchell proceeded to
change his own script by graduating as a professional actor, managing a business supplying theatre lighting and special
effects. At the same time he qualified as a Scientology auditor. In 1967, he qualified as an electronics engineer. Soon after,
he quit Scientology and started a Biofeedback laboratory. He organized successful studies and training sessions with many
clients, who after this lapse of time still retain the enhanced abilities he taught them. Between 1972 and 1975 he continued
his work in Spain, conducting into new methods of solo-auditing and used the EEG [EEG is the accepted abbreviation for
electroencephalograph, a device that measures and displays the electronic patterns of the brain] to conduct researches into
Zen meditation techniques, so these techniques could be applied to the Western mind. He returned to England and was
invited back into Scientology under an amnesty. In 1977 he founded Biofeedback Workshops (a company making
bio feedback equipment). In 1981 he was declared, and quit Scientology. Soon after, he formed another company. Mental
Development Ltd., a company specialising in mind development courses. In 1986, he joined forces with his mother in the
management of Dianasis. In 1992, he resigned as senior psychological advisor to Mental Development Ltd. and moved to
Belgium. Currently, he is researching into the upper levels of Dianasis and promoting his version of mind development in
the Benelux countries..

Divisions of psychotherapy
Psychotherapy may be broken into three dimen
sions: Cognitive, Emotional and Behavioral. The
first two dimensions, the cognitive and the emo
tional, are predominantly aspects of the mind,
whereas behaviour is mostly an aspect of the
brain, as indeed are many of the automatic parts
of Mental life, such as e.g. habits.
A mental block is a counter-intention to the activ
ity of the mental process being blocked. Removal
of a mental block or more accurately, facilitating a
student to let go of a mental block, can have sud
den and dramatic results. A student is lightened,
as if a large burden has been taken away. He/she
can confront a task with enthusiasm and courage,
rather than the negative emotions of fear, anger or
grief.
A release of emotion may occur, and there may be
an insight, as to how the mental block got there in
the first place; yet in many cases, behaviour re
mains unchanged and performance, in relation to
a skill, changes but very little. The simple answer
is, that the dimension of behaviour has been left
unaddressed.
Results of releasing a block
Through psychotherapy, a student may have been
released from a communication block, e.g. a fear
of speaking in public. At the end of the therapy
session, the room will look brighter and the stu
dent will feel good about the idea of speaking in

Overlearning described
A drill or an exercise is first learned until it can be
demonstrated, then practice continues, i.e. the
drill or exercise is over-learned until the new skill
or behaviour displaces the old. The new skill or
behaviour is practised until it is assimilated. Once
assimilated, it cannot then be distinguished from
our first nature and the new behaviour or skill op
erates automatically in the appropriate situation.
A new skill or behaviour may be said to be fully
assimilated when it can be demonstrated effort
lessly, i.e. it can be demonstrated without the
counter-effort of reactive restimulation.
Work is the purely mental dimension that may ap
pear to produce sudden results; work at the mental
level is directed towards getting a student to
change his mind. Once a student has let go of a
fixed viewpoint, he has changed his mind, and if
the correct fixed viewpoint has been discovered,
the mental block would dissolve away. It can hap
pen suddenly, because all the student has to do, is
change his/her mind, and do so in the correct kind
of way. That is all there is, to work at a mental
level: a change of mind.
Working on the level of mind will handle atti
tudes, emotions and unwanted sensations and
pains, it can improve certain types of memory,
particularly long-term memory of personal expe
rience. Forgotten skills and languages can be re
covered, but these are rapidly lost unless an edu
cational stage is applied, as soon as possible, after
the release. Much behaviour will be left un
changed, as behaviour is given force by habit.
With the exception of reading speed1, the per
formance of the students current repertoire of
skills, may change hardly at all. These are the
limitations of all therapies which work at the level
of mind and ignore the dimension of behaviour.
Unless the dimension of behaviour is addressed,
case gain will be subjective, only.
Note: certain depressive types have unnaturally slowed-down brain rhythms; when a release occurs these rhythms speed
up, sometimes by as much as 30%. This in conjunction with improved perceptions can improve a students reading speed
by 50-100%. However, this new ability would quickly disappear, unless it were re-enforced by appropriate exercises and
practice.

Classic Comment
B y Terry E. Scott, England
A Factors ?
In the early days, L. Ron Hubbard used the term
actuality to describe reality within a persons
own universe. The term may have fallen into dis
use around the late Fifties, but it is back there in
the literature although, being a lazy so-and-so
this Thursday evening, I am not about to go
through all my materials to quote chapter and
verse like a Bible-puncher. Either trust me or,
better, check it out: when Ron used the term, he
distinguished ones own actuality from reality.
The latter was defined as: the agreed-upon appar
ency of existence. Agreed between two or more
viewpoints, thetans. And the interesting thing is
that two beings can have quite different actualities
on something, yet find or create common realities.
If you and I walk through an open gate into a
well-tended garden, under sunny skies in the mid
dle of summer, maybe you take special delight in
the rose beds and the tiny wisps of cloud that van
ish almost as soon as they start to form. But
maybe I most admire the vibrant green of the
grass, delighting in the tremendously deep blue of
the sky in the north. Two actualities, if you like,
even though the scenery is the same.
Is there an ARC-break? No, simply a difference
in actualities. But there is also an agreed-upon re
ality, if we care to notice it and discuss it: for in
stance, the fact that it is summer, the sky is very
clear, and we are in a garden.

Essays by Funch
Reviewed by Leonard M. Dunn, England
Hemming Funch: Technical Essays 1-851
This is not a work to be reviewed by normal book
standards since, as the author wrote in his letter to
me, In these essays I am sort of more thinking
aloud and also changing my mind along the way,
which is kind of messy. I only put it in book form
to make it easier to copy for people who asked for
it.
It deals with the basics of Scientology as origi
nally propounded by LRH, but expands them and
converts them into practical applications in the
form of new and workable processes. The scope is
wider than anything I have previously encoun
tered, since it handles all four levels of beingness:
Human, Thetan, Static, and Infinity (known to
some as Source).
He provides charts of clearing and training levels
at the beginning of the work, and there are charts
and diagrams throughout to illustrate his material.
This is not a work for those who are confined to
set opinions and whose processing is only in the
terms of LRH and the CofS. It is something to be
enjoyed for its mental stimulation by those who
have minds of their own. A friend of mine, whilst
reading part of it, told me: This is what you have
been telling me for months, and I am just begin
ning to understand it. This shows that the author
puts over things more clearly than I do and I
will go along with that. He is very under
standable.

Volume one for $50, Volume Two for $40, or $80 for both volumes. These prices include Airmail postage. The Address

Axioms: self-evident?
Axiom 0 is not necessarily self-evident it is a
high level (tone 40) viewpoint. It is a statement of
Dianasis approach. It assumes the definition of
Theta from the Dianetic Axioms and so links the
Dianetic and Scientology Axioms (hence Dian
asis). Its truth is discovered through Dianasis
auditing, i.e. the as-isness, Dianetically (by unrav
elling the charge as it transfers from item to item
in the Bank), of the fixity of the mechanical con
ditions of existence.
Axiom 1 (Life is basically a Static) is not selfevident either its an hypothesis on which to
Peter Shepherd is Chairman of Mental Development Ltd, the company that is responsible for the delivery of Dianasis
services worldwide. He worked in training at Saint Hill in the early 70s and later found a great deal of value in Gregory
Mitchells system of mental development. See the article A New Epistemology in Ivy 5. Since March 1992 when Dianasis
came under Mental Developments wing and was renamed The Insight Project, he has been helping to develop an
approach towards the growth of human consciousness which combines these essential elements into the most effective
whole. He can be reached at: The Insight Project, 26 Church Road, Portslade (Near Brighton), East Sussex BN41 4EA,

Rebirth
The most important mechanism that is examined
in Dianasis is that which causes us to need to re
turn to bodies over and over. It is a phenomenon
that is restimulated by exteriorization or the threat
of exteriorization, which all of us in mortal bodies
live with it therefore impinges on us through
out life as well as after death. It is a phenomenon
structured on polarities, as indeed is the Theta
Bank as a whole, on several levels. At the top is
Game which has players versus opponents. Below
them are Goals with terminals (viewpoints)
against opposing terminals. Then there are Prob
lems with intention counter-intention. The MEST
universe itself is structured between positive and
negative poles and our Culture is good versus
evil. All of this is held together by Time, a two
pole structure of past and present.
Change of viewpoint
The freedom to change ones viewpoint is neces
sary to see all aspects of a problem. If you can
move from within through to near and afar then
you can get an as-isness. This is what you are try
ing to do with a repetitive process in auditing, to
look at all aspects of a subject until the truth be
comes apparent, and this is done at a higher level
with Dianasis procedure, loosening up the being
ness of the person so he is not in stuck view
points. Now he can move, he can look at his real
case. Before he had too close a view, too remote a
view or, if he couldnt look at an area, a totally
obscured view.
Stuckness is the degree to which you have denied
beingness to other viewpoints because you have
opposed them and not been able to let go, to per
ceive that life is a game. Where the opposing ter
minal sits is something you cannot look at or
have, a space you cannot occupy or be. Gradually
we have condensed to the relatively limited view
point of close proximity but mystery (Axiom 26).
We are very close together but know very little
about one another. It all relies on communication
and observation, but you dont actually know

Invitation to a game
I am sad to read that, because o f critical, i.e., different,
viewpoints expressed, people should consider they deal
with an opponent or even enemy. We are not engaged
in a war, nobody is throwing stones or bullets. I would
have thought that one purpose of IVy is to invite people
to openly present their viewpoints to each other, how
ever opposing, without the writers having to wonder
whether the readers will now feel diminished and sup
pressed.

A complete picture
I like the positive sound of Elly Poortenaar when she
says: ...w e really felt free to do something about the
mess on this planet...it is really possible to cause a
positive influence in the common universal conscious
n ess...on e can do a lot more when we all concentrate
on that consciousness level which we are all part o f .
I say Hear, hear! to that, and More power to her elbow.
However, progress and development move along by
way of dialogue, which involves argument and counter
argument. Please, please dont be afraid o f criticism, of
opposing opinions and viewpoints even if they are
clumsily phrased, as many o f us are not expert, perfect,
trained and experienced writers or authors. Take it or
leave it, the critical, opposing, different viewpoint.
Lets not take it personally and get into the frame of
mind o f someone is trying to get me. W e all want to do
the same thing basically: communicate to each other, to
let the others know where we stand. W e are not trying
to enforce our viewpoints on each other, but are pre
senting, offering our viewpoints to each other for com
parison and debate, so we arrive at a multi-dimensional,
complete picture.
A question of attitude
To me, it is all a question o f attitude: is the glass half
full or half empty? For example, if I decide to look
upon it as someone criticising me and making me
wrong, and I go into Effect, then that is what has hap
pened. If, on the other hand, I look upon it as someone
opening another window for me so I can now see more,
then that is what has happened.
There are, o f course, times when it is neither prudent
nor constructive to give ones viewpoint, especially if it
We all contribute
We just have to recognise that we are all in the same
boat, that we are basically playing the same game, that
all our intentions are to contribute to the advance of
Mankind, however big or small these contributions are.
It is important to recognise that we are all working to
wards the same goal, each o f us from his own stand
point. That we go there via different routes is a minor
detail. All roads lead to Rome, the saying goes. Some
go there in a straight line, others play games en route
and, according to these different routes, different view
points emerge.
I think you were preaching, and thats fine, too. You
gave us a piece of your mind. I for one found it interest
ing and, as you can see, thought provoking. I just hope
you dont find the somewhat critical slant of my com
ments too disturbing. My viewpoint is just another way
of looking at it, for you to accept or reject. The choice
is yours.

Dear Editor
I hope you will give me an opportunity to draw
the attention of your readers to an immediate dan
ger which is likely to restrict the delivery of LRH
derived tech. and even to limit its dissemination in
the future.
The danger I refer to is most commonly known as
the Maastricht Treaty. This is however part of a
broader movement known as the formation of the
European Union. The Union will be a centralised
bureaucratic state, incorporating both western and
eastern Europe, which will reduce democracy and
restrict individual liberty. All this is well docu
mented and I will not take up space with it here.
The implications for our common interest is that
all therapies and educational systems will be
much more subject to bureaucratic control and
harmonised in all parts of the Union. So healing
therapies will be limited to licensed practitioners
whose methods conform to orthodox practices.
Advertising for clients is likely to be similarly re
stricted and so maybe the selling of publications
promoting non approved methods. This will put
all our activities to help others in the domain of
the medical/psychiatric establishment. This
degree of intervention may seem unthinkable to
day but there is ample evidence that there is no
limit to bureaucratic intrusiveness when there is
no restraint by democratic institutions. So what
can we do about it?
