#Scientologists @AgScientology-etc., tell me Why @Scientology makes people think the Third Dynamic has #Priority over the Second-? | @AEtv @iMDb @405Mag @TheOklahoman_
What I show here is 'the group of words' that couch "that word" (below hyperlinked to Scientology's list of the eight 'Dynamics' (crucial life-purposes)) into your vocabulary ... deeper meanings that 'firm the foundations' upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Priority ( #Prioritize #Prior #Priorities #Prioritization)” is built on ancient words that mean Before (Forward, in Front of, First).
One of the most frequent complaints-against-Scientology (from ex-Scientologists who have appeared on Leah Remini's anti-Scientology docuseries) is that Scientology frequently encourages its members to cut ties with their family.
(The Church would deny that they ever so-encouraged
their members; so I have to specify that--though I-&
-others usually mean "the administration of the Church"
when they say 'Scientology'--'Scientology' could simply mean
"the dogma taken from the writings of L. Ron Hubbard.")
I don't know if 'The Aftermath' (The anti-Scientology Team) ever addresses it as "Scientology placing 'one Dynamic' (the Group Dynamic) over 'another' (the Creative Dynamic, which includes one's family)," so I go back in my memory to what I first read when I had started reviewing.
I seem to remember them saying that 'all eight Dynamics are equally important,' and that one's decisions can be guided by 'which one serves the most Dynamics' (e.g. tho I really want to 'find the right girl and settle down, it might be that two-or-more other Dynamics are better-served if I remain single).
What 'The Aftermath' calls "The Church making congregants break ties with family-members outside Scientology," Scientology calls "congregants wisely cutting communication from people who noisily disagree with Scientology's teachings" (just like Christians would cut communication from family-members who became Satanic missionaries).
I looked a little closer at 'The Eight Dynamics'---specifically the Second Dynamic, which I mistakenly thought was "the Family Dynamic." Family (children & any family-activity) are part of 'The Creative Dynamic,' but "it includes any creativity (which I guess was L. Ron's excuse for devoting more attention to his fictional universe than to his then-current wife & their children).
Really, 'people's creativity' is what they're remembered-for (i.e. that's what survives). Like Edgar Bergen, the famous ventriloquist who left his vast fortune to his dummy Charlie McCarthy ... you wouldn't even know his daughter unless she had starred in SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE & Murphy Brown!
Or Ho-Ho the Clown. If you remember him (big in Oklahoma in the '80s), you remember the clown with the show on local television ... and maybe his funeral (I think they also televised it). But do you know the names of any of his children? No! (although one of them is/was a percussionist in the Oklahoma City Philharmonic).
I guess the point I'm getting-to is that L. Ron didn't spend enough time expounding the fact that 'the family-section of the Second Dynamic' (most-common because it's the level of "creativity" that is natural to most humans) creates unpredictable cornucopias---works-of-art that--unlike a sculpture, painting or book that is an unchanging edifice--is an unpredictable fountain of 'stuff' (mostly 'worthless refuse,' but with possible 'diamonds in the rough' that become more-&-more frequent as family give them more-and-more love).
