In this episode, Jonathan Burke, Arthur Moudakis, and Quenton Stroud dive deep into the concept of granting beingness within the framework of Independent Scientology. Arthur shares how a personal exploration of his values uncovered profound insights about how we alter our perceptions to suit emotional comfort—even at the cost of our own integrity. The discussion unpacks the emotional and ethical confront required to truly let someone “be” who they are, especially when their tone level or actions conflict with our own values or empathy.

The hosts explore the practical application of the Tone Scale, the Chart of Human Evaluation, and the Awareness Scale in determining whether a person is ready for change—or simply not. They emphasize the importance of recognizing when it’s time to stop trying to “save” others and instead uphold one’s own beingness by maintaining ARC selectively, without compromising integrity. The analogy of Batman and the Joker is used to illustrate how higher-toned beings can become entangled in chaotic games played by lower-toned individuals, and how stepping out of that game is sometimes the only responsible action.

The conversation wraps with a powerful look at how Independent Scientology offers the tools to rise out of apathy, confusion, and emotional entrapment—through knowledge, responsibility, and control. The podcast calls listeners to action: to get auditing, take charge of their own spiritual condition, and grant others the freedom to be—whether or not they choose to rise. It’s a blunt yet compassionate exploration of personal freedom, responsibility, and the price of true spiritual growth.
