The Scientology Tone Scale
The Scientology Tone Scale teaches want-to-be scientologists that human emotions are bad... by associating them with what I'd describe as sociopathic conduct.
Imagine having a loved one pass away and then feeling GUILTY because one CRIED? ! ? - dared to express grief ?! - This is what it is like to be a Scientologist.
Free expression of emotions is how humans relieve the stress of being human. Hubbard seeks to monopolize natural human emotions by association (dead-agenting if you will) with characteristics of sociopathic conduct, with those who live at 1.1 on the tone scale, also called covert hostility, the 'back-stabber'. The only time a Scientologist is allowed to express the emotions below 2.0 on the scale, is during expensive auditing, otherwise they are stigmatized as being "downtone" or "dramatizing". This is also called the tone level of gay people, perverts, pedophiles, criminals etc. as well as the designation attributed to anyone who opposes scientology.
From page 157 of L Ron Hubbard's book Science of Survival which is about the "Tone Scale" where Hubbard was talking about people from 2.0 down:
"Rather than give psychotics such treatment it would e far kinder to kill them immediately and completely"
Thus, by inserting such stigma at (1.1) on this scale, right in the midst of natural emotions of fear, pain. anxiety and greif, Hubbard has created not only a person who will both try to ACT like the promised superior man, the "CLEAR" embodied in the promise of "OT" but a man whose only guilt-less expression of stress relieving natural human emotion, is to pay scientology through the nose for the privledge of expressing it behind closed doors in a "auditing session".
The "Tone Scale" is, like the rest of scientology, a manipulation tool.
It covertly, by implication, teaches Scientologists how to act like an "OT"...

Gee thats sound a lot like "MAKE IT GO RIGHT" by L Ron doesn't it?
