The OT Perspective - To Be A God

 
 





 I incidentally don't believe a word of Dianetics or Scientology doctrine myself.

Something that may help people understand why many OT III and above Scientologists are so arrogant is their perspective . They quite often sincerely believe each BT is a separate spiritual being . And that by freeing a BT  through exorcism  the BT goes from severely degraded and trapped to free and clear, meaning entirely cleared of a reactive mind. So as a BT is freed it influences other thetans to be freer and saner as well.

Hubbard acted like there is an invisible world of spirits magically influencing each other constantly hidden . In one session a Scientologist may believe they freed thousands of trapped spirits from damnation for eternity !

So Tom Cruise could think he has freed hundreds of thousands of spirits personally on the OT  levels.

That is part of why Kirstie knows she is above scholars. They just "figure figure" ( meaning think dim thoughts)  while in her mind  she personally has saved thousands of spirits for eternity ! Now it is easy to see why Nancy Cartwright feels Godhood is attainable - Hubbard already convinced her she's halfway there.

To compliment what I posted earlier about OT III and above Scientologists thinking they are saving spiritual beings when they audit BTs I have found a few quotes that show that is what is on their materials.

"Body Thetans are just Thetans. When you get rid of one he goes off and possibly squares around, picks up a body or admires daisies. He is in fact a sort of cleared Being. He cannot fail to eventually, if not at once, regain many abilities. Many have been asleep for the last 75,000,000 years. A Body Thetan responds to any process any Thetan responds to."

 I was indoctrinated around when OT VIII came out .The completions talked in a different way and we lowly folks who had not done the advanced levels mimicked them to pretend status .

In some of the doctrine , like SOS and the factors Hubbard uses a lie that resembles certain gnostic ideas . In it his thetans long ago were much more powerful and capable . They did not need bodies and could affect reality by will alone . The fraud goes on to say thetans have eternal infinite power and potential knowledge .

As you get more of it the entire physical universe including time is described as illusion in the minds of thetans who came to play a game .The idea he sells is that you personally were and are still a god with a capital G of your own universe .
Like the monotheist's idea of a creator who can make or destroy or influence ANYTHING within your universe.

In theory in the con you came through several universes , got confused , lost power by doubting yourself and lowered yourself to be vulnerable by your own gradual decisions over hundreds of quadrillions of years .
From BEING the eighth dynamic to being less and the seventh then the sixth then the fifth then the fourth then the third and second then down to running one body for one life .

It is seen as a dwindling spiral or series of concentric circles that collapse as a being fails at one they withdraw to the next and eventually have withdrawn to nothing . In this model the Thetan became human and vulnerable to human suffering from killing countless trillions as it blew up planets in space opera .

It is seen as having the next stop being permanent eternal amnesia, blindness, deafness , pain and self loathing with no end . That is the lie Hubbard sold . He claimed to restore the full God status at the end of the bridge . I am not exaggerating one bit . In several references he claimed you could restore your full abilities and entirely escape this universe and all of its liabilities forever with Scientology .
Sagan may have considered that an extraordinary claim .

 The rehabilitation of the ability of the preclear to not-know is also rehabilitation of the preclear in the time stream since the process of time consists of knowing the moment and not-knowing the past and not-knowing the future simultaneously. This process, like all other Scientology processes, is repetitive. The process is run, ordinarily, only after the preclear is in very good condition and is generally run in an exterior well inhabited place. Here the auditor, without exciting public comment, indicates a person and asks the preclear “Can you not-know something about that person?” The auditor does not permit the preclear to “not-know” things which the preclear already doesn’t know. The preclear “not-knows” only those things which are visible and apparent about the person. This is also run on objects in the environment such as walls, floors, chairs and other things. The auditor should not be startled when for the preclear large chunks of the environment start to disappear. This is ordinary routine and in effect the preclear should make the entirety of the environment disappear at his own command. The environment does not disappear for the auditor. The end goal of this “not-know” process is the disappearance of the entire universe, under the preclear’s control, but only for the preclear.

 Scientology also states that each thetan (person) "has as far as we can see in the manufacture of energy, about the same capabilities as those which have been assigned to the Supreme being in the universe" (Philadelphia Doctorate Course#9, LRH)
