I was corresponding with Prouty before he died on another subject altogether. And like many here I admired his books, all of which I've read. And also for being, as Jan said, a "trail blazer". He was certainly that. He brought many insights that literally "opened my eyes" to what we might call the "big game" run by the "high cabal".
So much for my prior myopia.
I wonder about the veracity of that letter. I really do. Were I to have the time I think I might fact check every single item that can be fact checked. And I would undertake a study of its composition, syntax and general style comparing it to the books he wrote.
Because my opinion of L Ron Hubbard doesn't run at all high. Not in the slightest.
And I would also be alarmed if Prouty was, as it seems he is doing, implicitly supporting MKULTRA operations. My gut feeling is that he would shy far away from that activity; that it would be anathema to him. Particularly so in his later years after he had stood up to be counted on so many other important subjects. It simply doesn't jibe, imo.
So, in conclusion, I would need stringent proof that the letter was true.
And if proved so I would need a hefty drink to calm my nerves and comfort my shame at having allowed myself to have been conned.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
