after 7 minutes in this video, there is talk of it

Is it the following -
1. There are three versions of Excalibur manuscripts in archives.
1. The title of one manuscript is "THE ONE COMMAND."
2. One manuscript is typewritten, about 300 pages on 8 ½ x 14 paper.
3. Another seems to be pieces of the above
4. Another manuscript is a carbon copy (no master) and is different from the above version
also, the freezone version
and the Captain Bill Robertson version
both of these are confirmed not to be the real one.
also, there is also a "excalibur revisited" book made which is a summary of every scientology doctrine, although intriguing, it is not the target.

it states
-that the russians put a bid on it to attempt to buy the manuscript
-it was ordered never to be published, however it is known that the manuscript exists -somewhere outside of scientology's vaults
-April, 1938
LRH writes Excalibur almost nonstop in a log cabin in Port Orchard Washington State. The grounds and the cabin have been purchased by the sea Org as a national shrine.
also, a paraphrase of a paragraph in the aformentioned website by "anonyleaks"
Excalibur is a product written by L Ron Hubbard after an incident involving nitrous oxide and the hallucinogenic effects of the gas. Hubbard claimed during which period he was actually in a hospital emergency room, had died on the operating table and had ascended to Heaven where all the knowledge of present/past and what was to come in the universe was revealed to him. He was then sent back to his physical body because it was 'not his time yet' and leaped off the operating table up to a room and began typing up this so-called 'truth of life'. - TheHostiles, on 07/02/2008, -1/+4nice little update here

essay on excalibur, basically nothing new, but more validation and another person who's read it.
so Hubbard made his introduction of the book something like this
quote:
As I remember "Excalibur", it started - in the introduction only - with a king who got all his wise men together and told them to prepare and bring to him all the wisdom of the world contained in 500 books. In the course of time, they succeeded, and the king was very pleased and said so. Then he told them to go away and cut down these 500 books into 100 books. It took them a bit longer this time, but they did it and came back and insisted all the wisdom of the world was contained in these 100 books. He said, "Now, do it over again, and bring it to me in one book."
This was quite a trick, but they did it, and came back some years later and they had, indeed, reduced all the wisdom of the world into one book.
Then he really gave them an assignment. He said, "Now go away and bring to me all the wisdom of the world in one word."
What was the one word? I don 't know how many times we argued, Ron and I, to discover what this one word was. It may have been the creative fiat, it might have just been the word "Be", it might have been the word "Survive". I don't think we ever settled it. But the book "Excalibur" from there on had to do with survival.

Hubbard is wrong again, if one word was the meaning of life, it would be "grow" or "build" or "create"
living isn't the point of life,
our purpose, summed up is to do what only humans can do... build on knowledge from the past... accelerate evolution - MyPickle, on 07/03/2008, -1/+2http://www.soloprocessing.eu/otherbooks.htm
Here is a version of Excalibur titled "Excalibur Revisited, The Akashic Book of Truth" by Geoffrey C. Filbert, 1982. Apparently Hubbard gave Mr. Filbert copyrights to the material in this book.
I know it isn't the target but if interested, It can be downloaded here http://www.freezoneamerica.org/downloads/files.htm ... - crystalblue69, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2this would be very exciting... i would love to read through this, if a copy can be found.
