June 1998

Ray Kemp Eulogy

The clearing community and mankind lost a very valuable contributor, mentor and leader on June 1, 1998.

I first met Raymond in late August 1962 when he and I enrolled on the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course. This was the beginning of a 35 plus years friendship.

We co-processed together and did much of the Goals, Problems, Mass research for LRH.

Over the years Raymond was an outstanding pioneer, leader and great contributor in creating the general acceptance of the subject of clearing and personal coaching. He was willing to share any of his successful actions with his fellow practitioners, as recently as 5 weeks ago he called me to share some of his findings on an area I was working on.

I will miss him and his helpful guidance.

But Raymond was far more than a masterful clearing practitioner.

Yep, Ray (as I knew him and called him) was, and I expect still is, a true power.

He really did know his tech, Admin as well as Processing . . . He visited me in London Org while I was running the public divisions in the beginning of 1968 . . . everyone who visited St. Hill, in particular SHSBC students, came to see me do my PE Course and pick my brains on how it was that I had the highest stats in the world on all my hats, in particular New Names to CF which were higher than any CONTINENTAL ZONE of Orgs.

But Ray was different. He did not oggle at my stats . . . he looked at my stat graphs and simply stated: "Those are PTS stats.)

Yes, I knew I was being interfered with, attacked and suppressed: But this guy guy saw it in the stats graphs!!!

By April , about 6 weeks after Ray's visit, the enemy dropped their bomb, and I was assigned (falsely) an enemy condition by a stupid SO Missionaire who listened to the true enemy in the Org (HCO Exec Sec that I had earlier had to give a job endangerment chit to for refusing to apply the key Div 6 policy on "FSM Awards."

The SO idiot did not investigate my reports, but only listened to the HCO nasty and her husband, installed as a temporary replacement while the real ED was off on Flag doing the newly released OT3 with her husband, our Qual Sec.

Being fired from staff, "enemy" in those days was erroneously seen as being declared SP . . . . I went out and sold Sales Training to to insurance companies, and routed my graduates into the org . . . only to have this idiot HCO Sec and husband write to my clients to tell them they were in violation of LRH Copyrights!! At one company I had 5,000 salesmen to train. YOu'd have thought the org would have salivated at getting 5,000 properly set-up new folks!!

It also happened that, having learned that Ray had used Scn to train the UK Pentathlon Team in 1955 . . . in 1965, when I first arrived in England, I went to see the guy in charge of the UK Pentathlon Association to get his take on the experience.

His take on it was that having the team members "talk to their horses, as in say 'Hello and thank you' . . . was strange and a little hillarious . . . but the horses seemed to like and responded!

Such was Ray Kemp. Very much a class act and power.
