The insanity of this is hard to comprehend. Here is an "OT VIII" proudly announcing the miracles of running in circles. For the SECOND time! If the theory of the grade chart is true, one advances step by step from the bottom to the top, each successive step building on the one before. You are NOT allowed to even see the OT materials until you have attained the steps below, and the same goes for each successive OT level after that. OT VIII is confidential until after you have completed OT VII, been declared eligible and paid for OT VIII. The so-called "Cause Resurgence … [Read more...]
Now THAT’S a Success Story!
One of the things scientology is very good at it is peer pressure/reinforcement. A key tool of this technique is the "Success Story" which is required from every person who completes a service in scientology.

This "success story" caught my attention for a couple of reasons. First, the idea that it could be considered a "win" to decide that you could now help with fundraising is rather comical. Tells you what is important in the world of scientology. It is obviously a point of shame to NOT be participating in fundraising for ideal orgs. But there is a larger point here, concerning scientology "success stories" in general. As a general rule, "success stories" are tailored to what the person thinks they are supposed to be saying in order to fit in with the expectations of the group. "Success … [Read more...]
Scientologists Running Around In Circles
The hype is now rolling for the Running Program (Cause Resurgence Rundown) and it is fascinating to see. Somehow it encapsulates so much of what is wrong with the over-the-top efforts to sell Scientology. As it is repeated and expanded it devalues anything of worth in the subject. Now the claims are that running around in a circle for days on end is a powerful OT rundown ...from LRH research on the whole track.... and this is amazing technology never before seen in this society and age. (?) Oh come now. Calm down a bit don't you think? It's just RUNNING! In circles no les … [Read more...]
