A message reached me just now (via IVy) from Ed Berwick:
"I am sorry to inform you all that Alan passed away yesterday morning. He did so peacefully in his sleep."
MJS: Alan was one of the giants in the field of awakening people of today.
We talked for many hours over the technical issues concerning what he called the 'Codes' (and we call 'Odu' or 'Polarity' in Polar Dynamics 1). He was one of the few who recognized and promoted the application of 'Conditions of Existence' in a comprenhensive way. But his acomplishments are so many that it is impossible to list them all.
Alan was a living example of greatness!
May many still benefit of his life work and heritage which he compressed into what he called Knowledgism (see [link] )

from Neville Chamberlin:
I am sorry to inform you all that Alan passed away yesterday morning. He did so peacefully in his sleep.
Alan has been my closest friend for over 45 years. We met when he was on the Special Briefing Course at St Hill in 1963. My mother was on course with him and that is where we met.
His contribution to the technology of Scientology has been immense. In fact a large portion of the essential breakthroughs of the early 1960's came about as a direct result of the work carried out by Alan and some others whilst at St Hill. Hubbard simply took ownership of what had been developed and called it his own.
Alan became the single largest Scientology field operator, setting up many missions which, in turn, were converted by the cult into official organisations. The growth of Scientology would have been a fraction of what it was had Alan not pioneered and developed his missions.
It is a mark of the incredible stupidity of the cult management to have stolen his missions and expel him from the group after all he had done for them.
As a result, Alan went on to research and develop his own studies and produce a highly workable and successful technology. Alan completed his work well before he passed away.
Alan was a giant of a man, both physically and spiritually. Hubbard was terrified of him, having realised that he (Hubbard) was nowhere near as powerful a being as Alan is. Alan was a quiet person, happy in his own company. He shunned the "glory, status and adoration" that Hubbard craved. His one continuing mantra was that he in no way wished to be considered a guru.
Alan's legacy will continue. The technology he created will be delivered by the Applied Knowledge Foundation. Alan set things up to continue long before he died. Every week there are hundreds of new people contacting the Knowledgism website and downloading material to read and evaluate. It should come as no surprise to those who follow this board to learn that there are probably more people out there quietly applying basic principles of Alan's technology than there are applying Scientology.
He remained conscious, rational, acerbic, grumpy and focused right to the very end, just like he has always been, the man we all loved and admired.
A memorial service and celebration of his life and achievements will be held in around mid-January.
