HCO BULLETIN OF MAY 11, AD 13
ROUTINE 3
HEAVEN

Well, I have been to heaven.

And I’ve found that Scientologists have been to Heaven.

And that everybody has evidently been to Heaven.

The Goals Problem Mass ¹ implants ², which are the apparent basic source of
aberration and heaven travail, which began with the goal To Forget, were cynically done
in “Heaven”.

For a long while, some people have been cross with me for my lack of co-operation
in believing in a Christian Heaven, God and Christ. I have never said I didn’t disbelieve
in a Big Thetan, but there was a certain something very corny about Heaven et al. Now
I have to apologize. There was a Heaven. Not too unlike, in a cruel betrayal, the heaven
of the Assassins in the 12th Century who, like everybody else, dramatized the whole track
implants – if a bit more so.

Yes, I’ve been to Heaven. And so have you. And you have the pattern of it’s
implants in the HCO Bulletin Line Plots. It was complete with gates, angels and plaster
saints – and electronic implantation equipment. So there was a Heaven after all – which
is why you are on this planet and were condemned never to be free again – until
Scientology.

Before you went to Heaven you were not really very bad or very good, but you didn’t
think you had lived only once, and you had a good memory and knew who you were and
enjoyed life. Afterwards —

The symbol of the crucified Christ is very apt indeed. It’s the symbol of a thetan ³
betrayed.

Both series have the Gates of Heaven visible. The last implant of both consists of
“entering” Heaven. The last goal of both is To Be In Heaven.

The gates of the first series are well done, well built. An avenue of statues of saints
leads up to them. The gate pillars are surrounded by marble angels. The entering grounds
are very well kept, laid out like Bush Gardens in Pasadena, so often seen in the movies.
Aside from the implant boxes which lie across from each other on the walk there are other
noises and sounds as though the saints are defending and berating. These are unimportant
to the incident.

The second series, probably in the same place, shows what a trillion years of overt
acts does (or is an additional trickery to collapse one’s time). The saints have vanished.
So have the Angels. A sign on one (the left as you “enter”) says “This is Heaven”. The
right has a sign “Hell” with an arrow and inside the grounds one can see the excavations
like archeological diggings with row terraces, that lead to “Hell”. Plain wire fencing
encloses the place. There is a sentry box beside and outside the right pillar. The road
“leading up” to the gates is deeply eroded. An effigy of Joseph, complete with desert
clothing, is seen approaching the gates (but not moving) leading a donkey which “carries”
the original Madonna and a child from “Bethlehem”. The implanting boxes lie on either
side of this “entering” at path level.
