I asked about this once, and, apparently, people at the Wursthaus used

The woman I asked was the hostess, presumably an owner or such.  She

It is interesting that there is a "double" bunny posting, one rancorous and
one pontificating, though they imply different net origin of the same city?
It is also strange that in alt.magick the subject has come up without
reference to alt.pagan or statements therein.
It is also strange that a person that claims to know so much about
Voodoun/santeria has neither come up with an intelligent dissertation on the
subject nor speaks with any vestige of "initiated" suggestion reality.
It is also strange that someone that is so well versed in "magick" would
question historicity or can't find analogy in what is presented, to a
magickal clarity.

To merit power you have to work at it. To know power you have to have
dedication, To administer power you have to have understanding less the
victim you destroy may one day be your own self.

If you are so advertent of magick then it is surprising that you should have
taken the time to post such pedantry as you have above.

If I have written in multiple posting, as I stated in the AFRICAN RELIGION
preamble, it is because I am answering correspondence from each source I
have received it from. 

It is >you< that has that choice whether to read it or not. But I do not
feel it is out of context to alt.magick. If you can't see that then you know
less of African religion than I thought.

I find your, and your "other" bunny friend's fermenting anxiety to my
posting uncalled for and self incriminating to a void motivated by sheer
jealousy that perhaps I may post more than you know.

So do your worst! I do not intent to waste bandwith with such puerile
pedanticism that only can mislead to credence in your and your other "bunny"
friend's diatribe!

Subject: The theory of FUD
Date: 6 Nov 92 21:02:50 GMT
Distribution: usa
Organization: University of Pennsylvania


   Let me tell you about my theory.  It is the theory of FUD and will
revolutionize everything, from income tax to childproof caps that
only children can open.

   There are three basic elements in human interaction:

   Feelings: positive or negative degrees of emotion

   Understanding: positive or negative degrees of correlation of belief

   Productivity: positive or negative influences of efficiency of
                    human interaction and cooperation

   These "stats" can be increased (plussed) or reduced (subbed) by
controlled or uncontrolled events - human to human communication.

   The stats can be arranged as follows:

  
         F
       /  \
     U ---  P
    
   Figure 1: The model of FUP

   See?  When one stat is changed, the other stats will follow
according to the latency equation:


   Sum of increase = Stat change * a * exp ( 1 / t * b )

   a is the coefficient of effect
   b is the latency 

   Figure 2: FUP Latency

   However, note that one stat could go one way, while the other
goes another.  i.e. A sum of increase of -1 could be obtained
by a +1 and a -2.  This phenomena is known as bifurcation and
can be employed to constructively control the effects of normally
sub-class events.  Thus, by properly applying the theory, one
can plus Understanding and cause Produtivity to increase even though 
Feeling will drop.  Constructive bifurcation occurs when the reactive
stat that was subbed later experiences a plus from the two increased
stats.  Destructive bifurcation is, of course, the opposite effect.


   Constructive criticism is one example of constructive bifurcation.
   Lying is an example of destructive bifurcation.

   Figure 3: Insightful FUP example

   Of course, I thoroughly tested this on my younger brother to
scientifically prove my theory.  I hope to later extend my theory
to cats, computers, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

   Long live FUP!

What "patients" are you referring to?  There are no patients in Scn.
Furthermore, I was not talking to my friends in some sort of
"therapist-patient" way.

>legitimate to explain a "win" and then answer any questions we had on it.

Oh, well.  Since you put it that way!  The wins involved had to do with
the one friend's experience with exteriorization, heightened awareness of
what he is (a spiritual being looking into the physical universe) and
what others were trying to do in life, as well as a greater understanding
of the "all-ness" of time.

>	I accept YOUR definition of out-gradient.  It is a big stretch

How is it a "big stretch"?  The standard dictionary defintion of gradient
is merely applied to information instead of a physical slope.

All Scn terms are defined and these defintions are found in all Scn books
where the terms are used as well as a dictionary giving all of the technical
terms.

Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 22:17:53 GMT

   I find it very interesting that the majority of the
pro-scientology books available have been written by L.Ron Hubbard,
whereas a number of different people have written books (which are available)
which could be classified as con-scientology or con-dianetics. For example:

   "The Scandal of Scientology" by Paulette Cooper (Tower Publications)
   "A Doctor's Report on Dianetics" by Dr. J. A Winter 
   "The Hidden Story of Scientology" by Omar V Garrison

   After having read the first reference above, I find it hard to believe
that people still pay money for Dianetics counseling. How do Scientologists
respond to the "facts?" revealed about Hubbard, Dianetics, Scientology,
etc. by Cooper? (Have they even read the book?)
   I would highly reccommend that anyone who is involved or thinking about
becoming involved with Dianetics or Scientology read Cooper's book. Since
I haven't yet read the other two sources, I can't reccommend them.

Just another note on that "scientific" equation from "Dianetics":

		      PV=I*D^x

      where:
	 PV = potential value of an individual or group
	 I  = intelligence (presumably IQ)
	 D  = the "Dynamic".  This is a number between 1 and 4
	      indicating where the individual are within 4 "dynamics".
	 x  = the magnitude on which the person is surviving on the
	      dynamic, it is a number between 1 and 10

Thanks to Bill Hardman, we now know how to apply it (if we're not too
fussy about things that pesky mathematicans care about, like units).
His instructions are quite simple, viz:

>>> Insert the known factors and use standard algebra.

So I'll like to use this formula to compute the potential value (PV) of
two individuals, named "A" and "B".

Both are nice, caring persons so I'll set both their Dynamics (D) to
3. I'll estimate that the magnitude person A is surviving on the
dynamic (x) to 8, while person B is doing slightly worse, amd score 6.
Now, person A is an absolute moron, and his IQ equals 70, while person
B is a genious that matches John Holifield's 156 IQ points:

    So we have:

              Person A   Person B
          I:        70        156
          D:         3          3
          x:         8          6
     and computing PV=I*D^x :
         PV:    459270     113724

So -- it looks like the "Potential Value" of the guy with an IQ in the
70'ies is more than FOUR TIMES that of the guy with an IQ in the
genius range.  That's probably the political correct thing to believe
these days, but I guess that the moron will have a darn hard time
realizing that incredible potential to the extent that he actually
becomes four times as sucessful as the genious.

Honestly, it really looks like this theory can need a bit more work...

What unpleasant facts?  That Narconon has a relationship to Scientology?
I have no problem with that.  I *prefer* it.  I've been talking to someone
over at one of the management organizations and may be going on staff at
a Narconon within a month.  Why?  Because it uses Scientology tech which
I view very highly.
