Now Zenith Applied Philospohy’s Tone Scale (ZAP 1:1.5) first taught to students by equating ‘tone scales’, to how one responds to life.

 

In short:

 

Low Tone – little ARC, not succesful – part of the problem.
High Tone – much ARC, very succesful – part of the solution.

 

0.0     Death
0.05   Apathy
0.5     Grief (whinger,lives in the past)
0.8     Propitiation (craler, gives up to things)
0.9     Sympathy
1.0     Fear
1.1     Covert Hostility (two-faced, hypocritical, stirrer)
1.5     Anger (blaming others)
1.8     Pain (emotional pain)
2.0     Antagonism (likes challenging world view)
2.5     Boredom (a spectator)
3.0     Conservatism (willing to take responsibility but not seeking it)
4.0     Enthusiasm (seeking responsibility)
20.0   Action (a shaker and a mover)
40.0   Serenity of Beingness (the ultimate)    


The ultimate goal of Scientology is claimed to be "a free being".

 

The ultimate goal of Zenith Applied Philospohy was to be “the ultimate”.

 

And how does one measure the varying ‘tone scale’ of a subject on the way to being ‘free’ and ‘ultimate’?

 

Scientology uses a device called an E-Meter.

 

Z.A.P use what they call(ed) a Oscilloscope (also useful for taking ions out of the air, perhaps?)  

 

The only two recorded individuals who clain to have made it to 40.0 on the tone-level scale, happen to be L.Ron Hubbard and John Dalhoff.

 

By now you are no doubt wondering – given all the cribbing, why didn’t The Church of Scientology - who seemingly are always involved with some litigation - simply flex their legal might, and close-down John Dalhoff’s breakaway ‘church’?

 

Since the people ‘in the know’ on this are never going to respond to these intricacies - we can only guess.

 

The likely scenario why, The Church of Scientology ‘turned a blind eye’ to the John Dalhoff are:

 

1.) John was at a level, that he had ‘secrets’ that The Church Scientology thought best stayed as such. You need to keep remembering, these were the days in which Xenu etc remained an enigma to everyone on the planet, excepting a few hundred high-ranking C.O.S members, & decades before South Park explained in cartoon form, its inner mysteries. There was no internet.  


2.) Since Dalhoff was in a position to ‘spill the bean’s’ and fight-back were he be sued by the Church of Scientology. Legal action, and the substantive costs involved in what in effect would have been a costly cross-border judicial case, versus the potential damage he could cause in a market of Christchurch’s size – it was decided to leave him alone.   

 

You of course, may come-up with your own scenario(s).

 

It has as much factual credence, as my own theory.  

 

Something-else, intriguing to ponder – did Hubbard and Dalhoff ever meet?
