Interesting scientology doesn’t publicize how many people have completed OT VIII (and they certainly don't want anyone to know about Whitney Mills in the photo above -- she died by self-inflicted gunshot in Clearwater in 2022). There is, of course, a good reason the number is not publicized. It's so low it would make it very clear there aren’t close to 10,000 on or through Solo NOTs who remain involved in scientology. There probably aren't even 5,000 at this point. After the years long grind and enormous expense of OT VII - not just paying for the training course (OT VI - not an … [Read more...]
Saving New Zealand One Body Thetan at a Time
This is another in the series of scientology promotional pieces that reveal far more than they intend. Apparently, the senior OT scientologists at Flag believe this lady is going to "save New Zealand." This is the sort of magical thinking these people pride themselves in. They aren't merely deluded, they announce it to the world as if this is perfectly normal. And inside the bubble, IT IS. That is what is so remarkable. Sorry Marion Moffat, you have been on staff for decades in Auckland and have accomplished absolutely no impact on anything. Now, because you are telepathically … [Read more...]
Solo NOTs – Top of the Delusional Bridge
The delusion is real in scientology. Here is a promotional video for the infamous "Solo NOTs" level that all scientologists must go to Flag to participate in. And though it is a "solo" level, meaning you use an e-meter to audit the invisible thetans in, on and around your body yourself, they require you to pay to do the auditing at home and also you must return to the "Mecca" every 6 months so you can pay them to sec check you on the meter to see if you have been good. It is one of the more lucrative (for scientology) levels on the Bridge. This video states right at the … [Read more...]
10,000 On Solo NOTs Rah Rah
I did a posting in February 2014 entitled 10,000 on Solo NOTs Update. At that time, they announced they have 6,433 who were "on or through" Solo NOTs. That is more than 6 years ago. And they were "targeting" to to be at 7000 by the end of 2014... Not even close. In those 6+ years, they have advanced 1317 or a bit over 200 per year. Of course, that is if you take their figures at face value. Which is always a risky proposition when it comes to scientology statistics. They are stat manipulators and fakers par excellence. You know they have not removed the dead or declared from this list. … [Read more...]
“Auditing on The Level”
Another illustration of the crazy that is the scientology bubble. And it gets worse the higher one progresses on "the Bridge." I am not questioning that there is a problem with over-prescription of medication or too much diagnosis of depression or anxiety. I am questioning the bizarre conclusion: "I am auditing on the level, which ultimately will handle the disgusting goals and purposes of that criminal profession." How these deluded OT VII's can possibly believe that getting rid of their body thetans is going to handle psychiatry is something I would love one of them to explain … [Read more...]
The Impossible Dream
Done? Since Day 1 the target has been 10,000. Now suddenly they cave and declare victory when they reach 75%? Let's not forget this has been going on now for 30 years. Trying to get people "Onto" ("or through" which is absolutely meaningless) Solo NOTs. In 30 plus years 7500 people on planet earth have reached the top of the Bridge. That is a TINY number of people. A large number of the 7500 are no longer alive or scientologists. A large number started and never completed the endless level. The entirety of Europe has apparently achieved 800... And they are PROUD of … [Read more...]
The True Measure of Scientology “Expansion”
On 6 January 2014 I published a blog post entitled Straight Up and Vertical - Not which included information about the target of "10,000 onto or through Solo NOTs". At that time, almost exactly 10 years ago, they claimed to have 6410 people who had accomplished that feat. Ignore whether this number is true or not, we will take them at their word. Until 2014 they had managed to get 6410 people cumulative onto Solo NOTs. Many of them are no longer scientologists. Many of them have since died. What is important is how many are making it to the "top of the Bridge" each year. That is, … [Read more...]
Flag Stats Prove Massive Fail
They're boasting about their accomplishments again -- and their boasts are the best evidence of their complete failure. Super Power and Cause Resurgence A couple of notes at the outset. It seems they have adopted the IAS "successful action" -- to get people to show up for reg events these days you need to offer free meals. Flag, being the Mecca of Technical Perfection and the Friendliest Place on Earth is going one better. Flying in their own chefs "as seen on [sort of] TV" to whip up some pizza and gelato. Should generate massive crowds. I do note they never show any pictures … [Read more...]
Flag Failing – 10,000 on Solo NOTs Hopeless
Oh dear. Things not looking for the 10,000 onto or through Solo NOTs target. They've been working on this target for nearly 30 years and are still not close. Apparently, even the chief cheerleader for achieving this target has given up. For years the D/Captain for Delivery Flag AO Mr. Clive Rabies has been doing "mandatory briefings" for "OT's only" to try to drum up enthusiasm for people getting onto OT VII. Now he has been reduced to doing personal org board "workshops" at the FH for $25 a head. I suspect the truth is that the number of people auditing on OT VII continues to … [Read more...]
Still Trying After All These Years
Another "out of the mouths of babes" admission from the highest levels of the crumbling scientology empire. They have been trying to get 10,000 "onto or through" Solo NOTs since it was released 35 years ago. Realize, this is a CUMULATIVE number. Everyone who has ever finished is counted. Along with everyone who is now "on the level"... And that certainly includes all those who have been declared or "blown off" the level without completing it. Really this is a measure of "all time number of people who STARTED OT VII regardless of what happened to them subsequently." This year's target … [Read more...]
