AOSH EU

What is AOSH EU? (or AOSHEU) you may ask.

If you follow my blog, you know I write often about the Scientology religion.

AOSH EU is a very important part of it.

First, to define it. the "AO" in AOSH EU stands for "Advanced Organization".

Although there are Scientology churches and missions throughout Europe and all over the world, the highest levels of spiritual discover in Scientology applied religious philosophy are only available at Advanced Organizations.

The "SH" in AOSHEU stands for "Saint Hill".

To establish a central training, management and dissemination point, Mr. Hubbard and his family moved to Saint Hill Manor in East Grinstead, Sussex, England in 1959.

In 1961 Mr. Hubbard launched the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course: the most comprehensive single auditor training service in Scientology. It contains the largest, broadest body of information on the subject of human behavior, the mind, life and spirituality that has ever been available.

So the SH of "AOSH EU" stands for Saint Hill.

And, of course, EU stands for "Europe"

There is another AOSH in Sydney Australia, and in Los Angeles there is an AO (AOLA) and a Saint Hill (Saint Hill Day for parishioners who undertake a full-time study of Scientology courses, and Saint Hill Foundation which provides training and auditing for those pursuing their Scientology studies at night and on the weekend).

Advanced Organization services and Saint Hill services are also available at the Flag Service Organization in Clearwater, Florida.

To begin with, did you know that over 46 languages are spoken in the various nations of Europe?

In the Scientology religion, the main practices (training and spiritual counseling) involve study of the works of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Scientology religion.

This means the tremendous task of translation of these works into all the languages needed by parishioners in the area, and training those who will minister these services in the churches.

AOSHEU plays a major part in this.

Conventional Protest

Interesting story on Leslie Cagan, the organizer of the planned anti-Bush protest which the New York State Supreme Court is trying to stop.

I myself can't understand the point of having a Republican convention (or a Democratic convention this year for that matter) when there is no purpose for its convening - the candidates have been selected, even their running mates are set. What are we watching? Why that incredible expense?

Imagine if all the money that was spend on these two conventions were channeled instead into effective programs to handle drugs, crime and iliteracy. What if it was used to educate children in areas like Rowanda, feed kids in the Sudan, provide grants for small businesses in Ghana. What positive good it could have accomplished.

Le Petit Prince Trouvé?

27aug04

A "SUPER-Earth" has been discovered orbiting a star about 50 light years away.

European astronomers sighted the planet orbiting a Sun-like star, mu Arae, in a southern constellation called the Altar and which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.

The unnamed world, which whizzes around mu Arae in just 9.5 days, is the smallest of about 125 so-called extrasolar planets that have been detected so far.

Most extrasolar planets spotted so far are about the size of Jupiter. "

"This planet is far smaller, with a mass only 14 times that of the Earth. It appears to be a rocky planet with a gassy atmosphere and orbits in a balmy region.

"However, there is the tantalising question as to whether it lies within the "Goldilocks Zone" -- a distance from its star that is not too hot, not too cold, just right to sustain life. - AFP

New Breakthrough in Electronics?

This little article could be a major breakthrough. A minor mention in the indy news today. I wonder the ramifications it will have 2 years from now on the entire electronics industry.
