I see. Those are organizational goals of the corporation calling itself the
Church of Scientology, particularly the Sea Organization. Those are not the
goals of auditing, except that one might want to clear one's own space of
counter-intention and other-intention (bts, one's own conflicted intention),
and doing that for every person in the world is the way I always understood
clearing the planet. You are talking about removing obstacles or
other-fish-to-fry with respect to "command intention" (LRH's intentions),
yes?
