          USP-039  '"Understanding hurts too much"'


Understanding Suppression Series # 39

(See Footnote for understanding)



One of many definitions of 'Suppressive Person':

Someone whose efforts are to make you and others "feel good" with the
purpose of making you NOT find out the actual truth about severe
upsets, of making you NOT win back (or to prevent you from achieving)
real true Understanding for persons or subjects you are severely upset
about.

They enforce their own standard "solutions to life".


This is very standard psychology:  They either let you find out that
you were 'wrong' - or - that the other was 'wrong', [which is a kind
of insane, Socratic, two-valued logic: either he is wrong, or you are
wrong], but they DON'T let you find out what is the TRUTH.

In Hubbard-Scientology Organizations they go much worse than that:
Hubbard and his staff are always right (because he was right in SOME
things), and the only acceptable conclusion and realization is,
of course, that YOU are 'wrong', and they enforce THAT on you as
"justice" or "ethics", and as the "TRUTH".

That has been a solution of this Suppressive Person in order not to
have to confront other Suppressive Persons, nor himself:
"I am always right" - and so Hubbard did not have any need to look at
other Suppressive Persons, or at his own Suppressive Acts and evil
intentions, because he was "always right".


The very propitiative Suppressive Person does this somewhat
differently. He says:
"I simply go and realize that I did something 'wrong' - and then I am
 happy again, the other Suppressive Person is happy again (of course
 we don't call anybody a Suppressive Person, we don't even think of
 considering that), we are all again in perfect agreement and in
 harmony".

They don't tell you that the "agreement" they enforce is 'not to look
at Suppressive Persons', and that the "harmony" they bring about is
'to be beautifully and happily apathetic'.


Another way a Suppressive Person helps you "solve" a severe upset is
to make you decide not to look at it AT ALL, that is, to make you
decide that the upset is not there at all.

And that, as another solution to life from a Suppressive Person,
"handles" the upset fully:
"If you just stop your DESIRE to truly Understand a subject or a
 person or a group, then you are not feeling the upset anymore.
 Then you ARE not upset anymore.
 Perfect solution - just have no true Understanding for it at all,
 but pretend complete understanding through the use of any kind of
 fixed idea about it ('I don't like him anyway', 'Women are that way',
 'It has nothing to do with me', 'I did not want it to begin with',
 'I am an indestructible spirit', etc. etc.).
 Magico presto:  Upset gone!"


That is the goal of any Suppressive Person, to have PRETENDED
understanding for certain things or people, and to make others have
pretended understanding for certain things and people.


You can imagine that it is not very pleasant at all to have such
Suppressive Persons around, because they never look at what is
actually there, and they never see whom they actually have in front
of them or whom they are actually talking about. THEY are a cloud of
fixed ideas and a source of voiced or unvoiced prejudice.

And the more things and the more people he wants you NOT to have
true Understanding for, the bigger a Suppressive Person he is.


Of course, with his "solution", your severe upset is NOT gone at all,
it SEEMS gone because you have disconnected from a part of life.
Actually it's more severe and stronger than before, and has sucked up
part of your life-force, but the upset is stamped into the ground,
bulldozed over, dug under, invisible, much harder to dig out now and
much harder to free up again.

Footnote:

You can't have or maintain good without understanding evil.

NONE of the present sciences, therapies and religions, and
none of the "-isms" or "-ologies" of today understand evil
or suppression.

Yet they have abundant - and sometimes very expensive -
recipes for "being good forever". Even when they claim to
understand evil, they want to be unaware of and hide their
own evil and so they become evil themselves, and they meet
evil with evil in order "to defend themselves or their group".

It is not possible to handle properly someone who is evil or
something that is evil WITHOUT understanding WHAT PRECISELY
you are handling.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE AN EVIL BEING, FOR INSTANCE, UNLESS YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE HANDLING A BEING, AND THAT YOU ARE
HELPING HIM - A BEING - TO CONTROL HIS EVIL.

The Understanding Suppression Series will help you - maybe
for the first time - to understand evil well enough in order
to maintain good. I have taken care to write as easy to
understand as possible. The Series starts out very simple,
and currently consists of about 150 separate observations.

Keeping this knowledge to yourself will not maintain good
- because others, lacking understanding of evil, will
unintentionally assist evil - but you sharing this knowledge
with others WILL make you win over evil, and WILL safeguard
good.
