My thought was - even if you assume Dennis has everything as correct as
the laws of mathematics (which I'm not an expert enough to verify) - you
still need to create new math text books every now and then to meet the
needs of the next generation of students, to express math in terms
people can grasp, and to find better ways to teach math. That doesn't
mean you throw out the works of the mathematicians who discovered it
all. You preserve them for posterity and to help researchers.
But imagine if we were still using the same math text books the Romans had!

This should have more correctly been sent to Glen, rather than Paul,
Thanks, Aarre

Hi Glen,
Very well put. I couldn't agree more.

Even if one assumes that there was one absolutely right
way to heal or reach enlightenment. And that Dennis had
worked this out perfectly, in a way that would work the
same way for every human being. And that he expressed his
ideas in the clearest, most easily
understandable way. And that the editors did the best
possible job of presenting this material.
(All of which are highly doubtful assumptions in any
subject or written
document.)
You will always be left with the fact that every human
being will always interpret and understand the material in
a slightly different way.
What's more, one cannot own the material without
developing one's unique understanding of it, an
understanding that either works for them or doesn't. No
truly literal duplication of anything exists and if it
did, it would be a mental straightjacket (IMHO).
Don't believe me? Look at how many thousands if not
millions of interpretations there are of any religious
scripture like the Bible or
the Buddhist doctrines. Everything evolves.And, just like
every Christian today picks and chooses bits of the Bible
that support their
personal ideas and rejects the rest, TROM will also have
to evolve with some flexibility or wither.
' I thought about this exactly the same way over a year
ago, and also observed that; I still think that the
original document should be as close to original source as
possible, and then simpler (average guy) editions could
exist also, as long as their authorship/source is stated
bluntly in the beginning. Then individuals could
slightly adjust the data as you stated in their
application. This slight alteration insures the
perpetuation of the work; According to LRH, to persist,
there must be a slight alteration. A total duplication
(AS - ISness) would theoretically cause a vanishment. The
original document should be pristine however, so that
wanderers could always come back to 'more' puritanical
application when needed and wanted. Perhaps, allowing a
slight alteration in application to fit more
complementarily with each individual's postulate set
quirks would allow the techniques to persist through time
for a long, long, time.' Aarre Peltomaa
p.s. does this sound correct at all ?
So, it's worth preserving Dennis's original intent. But
that may not be the best presentation to reach and help
the most people. Many people, especially those who haven't
studied Scientology (and fewer people do all the time)
would find the TROM materials that currently exist to be
gobbledygook. The person who can find a way to express
them in a way that is clear and appealing to the average
person will take this material a big step forward.
(And maybe the person who subjects them to rigorous
double-blind testing to see how well they actually work
for most people will perform the biggest service of all.)
