BEING BODIES

      What has never been clear to me is where BEING A BODY is on the
negative tone scale.

      The freezone and Scn tone scales differ at the point of death,
failure, pity, regret, accountable, blame and shame.

     The Scn tone scale goes:

     0.00 Body Death
    -0.01 Failure
    -0.10 Pity

      I understand pity, somebody or pet you loved died a horrible
death, usually your fault.

    -0.20 SHAME (Being other bodies)

      I take this to mean the being is tring to distance himself
from the now death body, so that other's will not think it was his.

    -0.70 Accountable

      Failing that, the being is now accountable to other bodies as
to why his is dead.

    -1.00 BLAME (Punishing other bodies)

      The being tries to shift responsibility to another, by blaming
them for the death, Goober says Dufus did it.

    -2.00 REGRET (Responsibility as blame)

      Dufus refuses the blame and proves that Goober in fact did do
it himself.  Thus Goober now feels regret.  In advanced procedure
an axioms Hubbard says this stirs the emotion of guilt, not because
his body is dead by his own hand (usually unintentionally), but
because he tried to shift blame to another, and failed.

      Shifting blame then becomes the confessable sin.

    -1.50 Controlling bodies
    -2.20 Protecting bodies
    -3.00 Owning Bodies
    -3.50 Approval from bodies.

      The being falls into controlling, protecting, owning bodies for
their own good, he becomes a body farmer, possibly controlling more than
one body much as a cowboy controls more than one horse on the ranch,
and measures his success by their approval of his stewardship.

    -4.00 Needing bodies
    -5.00 Worshipping bodies
    -6.00 Sacrifice

     Failing that, the being gets addicted to bodies, worships them
as gods and sacrifices self to bodies for their betterment.

    -8.00 Hiding

     Failing that, with everyone looking for him for body abuse,
he goes into hiding.

     The rest is obvious.

   -10.00 Being objects
   -20.00 Being nothing
   -30.00 Can't Hide
   -40.00 Total failure

     At what point does a being BECOME a body to the point where
it thinks it is a body?

     At SHAME (being other bodies)?

     Or at BEING OBJECTS?

     The body is an object.

     Most of the beings I know are down at being nothing, or can't hide.

     And what is sacrifice?

     Is that sacrifice of bodies?  Or is that sacrifice of self
towards the care of a body?

     And what is worshipping bodies?

     Is that 'worship' as a being worships a God (idolization) or
is that 'worship' as a mother worships a child (taking care of).
