     There are three kinds of minds corresponding to three different
case states.
 
     1.) CLOSED MINDS
     2.) OPEN   MINDS
     3.) FREE   MINDS
 
     The purpose of a mind is to observe data, draw conclusions, make
decisions and act.
 
     The CLOSED mind has already made its mind up regardless of the
evidence or data presented to it.  Its opinion does not change with the
flow of incoming data.  It is stuck in an ARBITRARY CONCLUSION which
results in a FIXED DECISION which produces CHRONIC WRONG ACTION.
 
     The OPEN mind refuses to make up its mind regardless of what data
or evidence comes its way.  It HAS no opinion and stays that way no
matter what it learns.  It is stuck in an ARBITRARY NO CONCLUSION which
results in a FIXED NO DECISION which produces CHRONIC NO ACTION.
 
     A FREE mind is able to draw conclusions accurately from the data at
hand, make decisions swiftly and then act effectively.
 
     Most people would claim that having a closed mind is a bad thing.
But the Church considers a closed mind a good thing because they don't
want anyone to consider anything right other than the Church.
 
     Most people would claim that having an open mind is a good thing,
but what they mean by an open mind is what we are calling here a free
mind.  An open mind is someone who can never draw a conclusion or make a
decision or adjudicate relative rightness or wrongness.  The Church
doesn't like open minds because such people never make their minds up
that the Church is a good thing and ought to be continued.
 
     But what the Church fears most is a FREE mind.
 
     Scientology bashers have closed minds in that they have a fixed
decision against Scientology regardless of the facts.
 
     Scientology Churchies have closed minds in that they have a fixed
decision for the Church regardless of the facts.
 
     Free Zoners have free minds and can keep the Church and Scientology
separate.
 
     The unfortunate aspect is that the Church is RIFE from top to
bottom with people who are not Scientologists.  They have never made any
case gain, they either have a closed mind against Scientology or a
closed mind for Scientology, or an open mind that can never learn what's
true.  Such people are in the Church because it is a JOB.  It pays well,
it allows them the freedom and license to dramatize for a powerful
organization, and it allows them to remain the closed or open mind that
they are.
 
     No FREE mind would attack the Free Zone.
 
     No FREE mind would mindlessly attack Scientology.
 
     The Church is a citadel of Corruption, Temptation and Seduction and
will soon go the way of all flesh if it does not clean up its act.
 
     Scientology is a spark of fire in the cold dark night of the Soul,
fan the flames of Truth well.

Learning implies Learning with Certainty or Learning without Certainty.
Learning across a Distance implies Learning by Being an Effect.
Learning by Being an Effect implies Learning without Certainty.
Therefore, Learning with Certainty implies Learning, but 
not by Being an Effect, and not across a Distance.
