Scientology is a belief system Scientology is a belief system created by allren Hubbard created by allren Hubbard created by allren Hubbard that does fundamentally believe that we that does fundamentally believe that we that does fundamentally believe that we are all Immortal Spiritual Beings are all Immortal Spiritual Beings are all Immortal Spiritual Beings called phasins called phasins called phasins that we have that we have that we have native god-like potential native god-like potential native god-like potential that there is nothing more powerful in that there is nothing more powerful in that there is nothing more powerful in the universe than a thetan like so the universe than a thetan like so the universe than a thetan like so Godlike is you know quite literal here Godlike is you know quite literal here Godlike is you know quite literal here and that through various and that through various and that through various decisions thetans have made they have decisions thetans have made they have decisions thetans have made they have fallen away from their native Godlike fallen away from their native Godlike fallen away from their native Godlike power power power to uh fallen down to a state where most to uh fallen down to a state where most to uh fallen down to a state where most theins aren't even aware that they are theins aren't even aware that they are theins aren't even aware that they are thetans aren't even aware that they ever thetans aren't even aware that they ever thetans aren't even aware that they ever have lived before or have these powers have lived before or have these powers have lived before or have these powers and that things are now in a state where and that things are now in a state where and that things are now in a state where they're trapped in bodies trapped here they're trapped in bodies trapped here they're trapped in bodies trapped here on Earth on Earth on Earth uh trapped in this prison of a physical uh trapped in this prison of a physical uh trapped in this prison of a physical Universe trapped on this prison of a Universe trapped on this prison of a Universe trapped on this prison of a planet planet planet and that only Scientology can restore and that only Scientology can restore and that only Scientology can restore ethane to its native state are these ethane to its native state are these ethane to its native state are these multiple beings like is there one Satan multiple beings like is there one Satan multiple beings like is there one Satan inside of me that's trapped in this inside of me that's trapped in this inside of me that's trapped in this prison well the thing would be you prison well the thing would be you prison well the thing would be you the thing would be me the thetan is you the thing would be me the thetan is you the thing would be me the thetan is you but um presumably Limited in some but um presumably Limited in some but um presumably Limited in some fundamental way so this statement that fundamental way so this statement that fundamental way so this statement that is me is is limited so there's like is me is is limited so there's like is me is is limited so there's like eight billion Satan's on the planet eight billion Satan's on the planet eight billion Satan's on the planet there's one primary thing in animating there's one primary thing in animating there's one primary thing in animating each body each body each body later in Scientology you learn there's later in Scientology you learn there's later in Scientology you learn there's actually like tens of thousands or actually like tens of thousands or actually like tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of like sick hundreds of thousands of like sick hundreds of thousands of like sick unconscious half dead faith in stuck to

unconscious half dead faith in stuck to unconscious half dead faith in stuck to you that are now an additional cause of you that are now an additional cause of you that are now an additional cause of problems for you sure but fundamentally problems for you sure but fundamentally problems for you sure but fundamentally at the lower levels at the lower levels at the lower levels the non-confidential levels there's just the non-confidential levels there's just the non-confidential levels there's just one thing in per body one thing in per body one thing in per body well I mean it's an interesting idea I well I mean it's an interesting idea I well I mean it's an interesting idea I just would like to kind of explore just would like to kind of explore just would like to kind of explore the philosophy of that so there's a the philosophy of that so there's a the philosophy of that so there's a being that's all powerful that's being that's all powerful that's being that's all powerful that's immortal immortal immortal and its projectionist manifestation on and its projectionist manifestation on and its projectionist manifestation on this Earth is this Earth is this Earth is fundamentally Limited fundamentally Limited fundamentally Limited and you're trying to uh the process of and you're trying to uh the process of and you're trying to uh the process of Scientology is the process of letting go Scientology is the process of letting go Scientology is the process of letting go of those limitations of those limitations of those limitations you know that's an interesting idea I you know that's an interesting idea I you know that's an interesting idea I mean a lot of religions have this kind mean a lot of religions have this kind mean a lot of religions have this kind of idea that there's a not just of idea that there's a not just of idea that there's a not just religions but like we have the capacity religions but like we have the capacity religions but like we have the capacity as human beings to do to achieve as human beings to do to achieve as human beings to do to achieve greatness in all kinds of ways yeah and greatness in all kinds of ways yeah and greatness in all kinds of ways yeah and that's the question we have with our that's the question we have with our that's the question we have with our cognitive abilities we start with the cognitive abilities we start with the cognitive abilities we start with the embryo and build up and into this embryo and build up and into this embryo and build up and into this organism and like this world of organism and like this world of organism and like this world of opportunities before us what are we opportunities before us what are we opportunities before us what are we capable of and the idea that we're capable of and the idea that we're capable of and the idea that we're capable of almost anything is a really capable of almost anything is a really capable of almost anything is a really powerful one and there's a lot of powerful one and there's a lot of powerful one and there's a lot of religions there's a lot of philosophies religions there's a lot of philosophies religions there's a lot of philosophies there's a lot of advice self-help that there's a lot of advice self-help that there's a lot of advice self-help that kind of explores those ideas and so in kind of explores those ideas and so in kind of explores those ideas and so in it seems like with Scientology this the it seems like with Scientology this the it seems like with Scientology this the application of these religious application of these religious application of these religious philosophy means that there's we're philosophy means that there's we're philosophy means that there's we're limited and we have to break through limited and we have to break through limited and we have to break through those limitations and there's a process those limitations and there's a process those limitations and there's a process to break through those limitations that to break through those limitations that to break through those limitations that would be correct so what can make it would be correct so what can make it would be correct so what can make it challenging to challenging to challenging to adequately and completely describe adequately and completely describe adequately and completely describe Scientology in the beginning is what Scientology in the beginning is what Scientology in the beginning is what scientologists believe actually changes
-
scientologists believe actually changes scientologists believe actually changes as they progress further into or further as they progress further into or further as they progress further into or further up in Scientology up in Scientology up in Scientology so so so um the explanation is I've given it is um the explanation is I've given it is um the explanation is I've given it is pretty consistent with what you would pretty consistent with what you would pretty consistent with what you would get at the lowest levels right get at the lowest levels right get at the lowest levels right urethane I'm a thetan everyone's a urethane I'm a thetan everyone's a urethane I'm a thetan everyone's a thetan thetan thetan and we have a reactive mind and we have a reactive mind and we have a reactive mind I'll run Hubbard would say the reactive I'll run Hubbard would say the reactive I'll run Hubbard would say the reactive mind is a collection of uh these mind is a collection of uh these mind is a collection of uh these recordings mental recordings of any recordings mental recordings of any recordings mental recordings of any moments of pain and unconsciousness moments of pain and unconsciousness moments of pain and unconsciousness you've ever had in your life it's like you've ever had in your life it's like you've ever had in your life it's like the subconscious mind the subconscious mind the subconscious mind uh it's always recording in moments of uh it's always recording in moments of uh it's always recording in moments of pain and unconsciousness and that these pain and unconsciousness and that these pain and unconsciousness and that these are called these recordings are Ron are called these recordings are Ron are called these recordings are Ron Hubbard called them engrams now when L Hubbard called them engrams now when L Hubbard called them engrams now when L Ron Hubbard first wrote Dianetics in Ron Hubbard first wrote Dianetics in Ron Hubbard first wrote Dianetics in 1950 this was before Scientology came 1950 this was before Scientology came 1950 this was before Scientology came along a couple years later right so in along a couple years later right so in along a couple years later right so in 1950 when he wrote Dianetics 1950 when he wrote Dianetics 1950 when he wrote Dianetics it wasn't a spiritual Endeavor it was it wasn't a spiritual Endeavor it was it wasn't a spiritual Endeavor it was supposed to be a mental health a science supposed to be a mental health a science supposed to be a mental health a science of Mental Health of Mental Health of Mental Health so so so as of that time the earliest engram you as of that time the earliest engram you as of that time the earliest engram you could have was the incident of birth could have was the incident of birth could have was the incident of birth being born was an engram being born was an engram being born was an engram and technically in Dianetics they said and technically in Dianetics they said and technically in Dianetics they said you could have prenatal n grams like you could have prenatal n grams like you could have prenatal n grams like when you're still in the womb but there when you're still in the womb but there when you're still in the womb but there was no concept of past lives as of 1950 was no concept of past lives as of 1950 was no concept of past lives as of 1950 version of Dianetics right version of Dianetics right version of Dianetics right and so the idea there was that and so the idea there was that and so the idea there was that uh the reactive mind is essentially a uh the reactive mind is essentially a uh the reactive mind is essentially a stimulus response mechanism stimulus response mechanism stimulus response mechanism uh created through Evolution millions of uh created through Evolution millions of uh created through Evolution millions of years ago to protect the individual from
-
years ago to protect the individual from years ago to protect the individual from things that would harm them in other things that would harm them in other things that would harm them in other words things that would bring about pain words things that would bring about pain words things that would bring about pain and unconsciousness so you have these and unconsciousness so you have these and unconsciousness so you have these recordings of things that hurt you recordings of things that hurt you recordings of things that hurt you created pain and unconsciousness and in created pain and unconsciousness and in created pain and unconsciousness and in present time these things will react present time these things will react present time these things will react upon you in a way to cause you to avoid upon you in a way to cause you to avoid upon you in a way to cause you to avoid similar things similar things similar things reacting upon you in a subconscious reacting upon you in a subconscious reacting upon you in a subconscious unconscious way so the reactive mind unconscious way so the reactive mind unconscious way so the reactive mind protects you protects you protects you from the trauma that is inside your from the trauma that is inside your from the trauma that is inside your subconscious mind yes and the idea is subconscious mind yes and the idea is subconscious mind yes and the idea is we've now as human beings evolve to a we've now as human beings evolve to a we've now as human beings evolve to a state where it no longer serves us state where it no longer serves us state where it no longer serves us beneficially it only serves us beneficially it only serves us beneficially it only serves us negatively negatively negatively this was Hubbard's Theory and he says this was Hubbard's Theory and he says this was Hubbard's Theory and he says you can get rid of these engrams by you you can get rid of these engrams by you you can get rid of these engrams by you know basically recalling them and going know basically recalling them and going know basically recalling them and going over them again and again using over them again and again using over them again and again using Dianetics auditing therapy and if you Dianetics auditing therapy and if you Dianetics auditing therapy and if you get back to the moment of birth and get back to the moment of birth and get back to the moment of birth and erase the earliest engram all the other erase the earliest engram all the other erase the earliest engram all the other subsequent engrams on the Chain would subsequent engrams on the Chain would subsequent engrams on the Chain would vanish oh nice so there's a change vanish oh nice so there's a change vanish oh nice so there's a change earlier similar earlier similar earlier earlier similar earlier similar earlier earlier similar earlier similar earlier similar early similar okay similar early similar okay similar early similar okay so that gives you a pretty good so that gives you a pretty good so that gives you a pretty good understanding of how elrond Hubbard understanding of how elrond Hubbard understanding of how elrond Hubbard thought of the mind because that carries thought of the mind because that carries thought of the mind because that carries on has applicability later on in on has applicability later on in on has applicability later on in Scientology I mean that's a pretty Scientology I mean that's a pretty Scientology I mean that's a pretty powerful model of the mind I mean Freud powerful model of the mind I mean Freud powerful model of the mind I mean Freud had similar conceptions that a lot of had similar conceptions that a lot of had similar conceptions that a lot of our traumas are grounded in our traumas are grounded in our traumas are grounded in sort of uh sort of uh sort of uh poor formulation of sexuality or poor formulation of sexuality or poor formulation of sexuality or imperfect formulation of sexuality no imperfect formulation of sexuality no imperfect formulation of sexuality no childhood something like this and then childhood something like this and then childhood something like this and then we're trying to figure out the puzzle we're trying to figure out the puzzle we're trying to figure out the puzzle whatever we formed in early childhood whatever we formed in early childhood whatever we formed in early childhood right and it's similar similar kind of
-
right and it's similar similar kind of right and it's similar similar kind of it is similar that's probably what it is similar that's probably what it is similar that's probably what Hubbard took it from Hubbard took it from Hubbard took it from um in the early days of Dianetics before um in the early days of Dianetics before um in the early days of Dianetics before he decided Psychiatry was evil uh he he decided Psychiatry was evil uh he he decided Psychiatry was evil uh he actually credited Sigmund Freud with actually credited Sigmund Freud with actually credited Sigmund Freud with some of the shoulders he was standing on some of the shoulders he was standing on some of the shoulders he was standing on in writing Dianetics so the so he still in writing Dianetics so the so he still in writing Dianetics so the so he still admired Psychiatry at that time so admired Psychiatry at that time so admired Psychiatry at that time so that's an interesting moment of that's an interesting moment of that's an interesting moment of Dianetics so what else you mentioned Dianetics so what else you mentioned Dianetics so what else you mentioned Dynex auditing was there too so if we Dynex auditing was there too so if we Dynex auditing was there too so if we just before Scientology what what are just before Scientology what what are just before Scientology what what are the ideas that formed what we know as the ideas that formed what we know as the ideas that formed what we know as Dianetics as I've just described that is Dianetics as I've just described that is Dianetics as I've just described that is the fundamental at least that is pretty the fundamental at least that is pretty the fundamental at least that is pretty much the nuts and bolts of dinetics was much the nuts and bolts of dinetics was much the nuts and bolts of dinetics was it applied was it applied often oh yeah it applied was it applied often oh yeah it applied was it applied often oh yeah no that's what diet next in the early no that's what diet next in the early no that's what diet next in the early days was all about was just auditing days was all about was just auditing days was all about was just auditing auditing is the process of the auditing is the process of the auditing is the process of the one-on-one counseling recall a moment of one-on-one counseling recall a moment of one-on-one counseling recall a moment of pain and unconsciousness run through the pain and unconsciousness run through the pain and unconsciousness run through the engram over and over and over again find engram over and over and over again find engram over and over and over again find something earlier similar that is something earlier similar that is something earlier similar that is dianetics auditing one of the main dianetics auditing one of the main dianetics auditing one of the main things that changed with Scientology is things that changed with Scientology is things that changed with Scientology is that birth or prenatal ingrams were no that birth or prenatal ingrams were no that birth or prenatal ingrams were no longer the earliest engrams on the Chain longer the earliest engrams on the Chain longer the earliest engrams on the Chain yeah the idea is you have to get the yeah the idea is you have to get the yeah the idea is you have to get the earliest engram on the chain for the earliest engram on the chain for the earliest engram on the chain for the later ones to blow which is a race later ones to blow which is a race later ones to blow which is a race and so but all of a sudden now with the and so but all of a sudden now with the and so but all of a sudden now with the uh addition of an immortal spiritual uh addition of an immortal spiritual uh addition of an immortal spiritual being into the equation well now the being into the equation well now the being into the equation well now the earliest incident could be trillions of earliest incident could be trillions of earliest incident could be trillions of years ago in other galaxies and years ago in other galaxies and years ago in other galaxies and universes other universes so before the universes other universes so before the universes other universes so before the origin of this universe yes is there a origin of this universe yes is there a origin of this universe yes is there a model of physics integrated in any of model of physics integrated in any of model of physics integrated in any of this no this no this no the model is you have the physical the model is you have the physical the model is you have the physical universe universe universe and then above that you have the Theta and then above that you have the Theta and then above that you have the Theta universe so we use the word thing universe so we use the word thing universe so we use the word thing earlier so in Scientology let's use word earlier so in Scientology let's use word earlier so in Scientology let's use word Theta
-
Theta Theta I don't know theta's just basically I don't know theta's just basically I don't know theta's just basically thetan power Satan's collectively thetan power Satan's collectively thetan power Satan's collectively so Hubbard would say you have the Theta so Hubbard would say you have the Theta so Hubbard would say you have the Theta Universe which is senior to the physical Universe which is senior to the physical Universe which is senior to the physical universe and creates the physical universe and creates the physical universe and creates the physical universe and remember I said I said universe and remember I said I said universe and remember I said I said native god-like potentials so we're not native god-like potentials so we're not native god-like potentials so we're not talking about the God who created the talking about the God who created the talking about the God who created the Earth we're just like scientologists Earth we're just like scientologists Earth we're just like scientologists don't believe in a God but we'll get don't believe in a God but we'll get don't believe in a God but we'll get into that later into that later into that later uh we're talking about CR just creating uh we're talking about CR just creating uh we're talking about CR just creating universes like just think like Matrix universes like just think like Matrix universes like just think like Matrix like just when I say creating a universe like just when I say creating a universe like just when I say creating a universe essentially just creating different essentially just creating different essentially just creating different things simulations things simulations things simulations but it sounds like a little bit more but it sounds like a little bit more but it sounds like a little bit more like the ideas of Plato which is there's like the ideas of Plato which is there's like the ideas of Plato which is there's these platonic forms there's abstract these platonic forms there's abstract these platonic forms there's abstract forms that are forms that are forms that are bigger more General than our particular bigger more General than our particular bigger more General than our particular reality here and those forms are used to reality here and those forms are used to reality here and those forms are used to construct the reality well I grew up in construct the reality well I grew up in construct the reality well I grew up in a call so I'm not familiar with the a call so I'm not familiar with the a call so I'm not familiar with the works of Plato works of Plato works of Plato [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] you can't use that as an excuse for you can't use that as an excuse for you can't use that as an excuse for everything everything everything I would like to you know non-jokingly I would like to you know non-jokingly I would like to you know non-jokingly yeah Steel Man the case because a lot of yeah Steel Man the case because a lot of yeah Steel Man the case because a lot of philosophies a lot of religions a lot philosophies a lot of religions a lot philosophies a lot of religions a lot even scientific endeavors even scientific endeavors even scientific endeavors are a little bit full of uncertainty you are a little bit full of uncertainty you are a little bit full of uncertainty you can call it bullshit but they're you're can call it bullshit but they're you're can call it bullshit but they're you're on on sturdy ground because we're on on sturdy ground because we're on on sturdy ground because we're surrounded by mystery and you have to surrounded by mystery and you have to surrounded by mystery and you have to take these ideas take these ideas take these ideas somewhat seriously and see where those somewhat seriously and see where those somewhat seriously and see where those ideas go wrong this happens with ideas go wrong this happens with ideas go wrong this happens with Communism this happens with capitalism Communism this happens with capitalism Communism this happens with capitalism these ideas sound beautiful in their these ideas sound beautiful in their these ideas sound beautiful in their ideal forms and then they somehow go ideal forms and then they somehow go ideal forms and then they somehow go wrong and some go more wrong than others wrong and some go more wrong than others wrong and some go more wrong than others and so I don't think sort of it's easy
-
and so I don't think sort of it's easy and so I don't think sort of it's easy to to to sort of caricature and make fun of the sort of caricature and make fun of the sort of caricature and make fun of the ideas I think if we take them seriously ideas I think if we take them seriously ideas I think if we take them seriously you'll start to understand like when you'll start to understand like when you'll start to understand like when you're in it it was serious uh it can be you're in it it was serious uh it can be you're in it it was serious uh it can be very convincing it's you know the the very convincing it's you know the the very convincing it's you know the the devil is going to be a charismatic devil is going to be a charismatic devil is going to be a charismatic person he's not going to be a caricature person he's not going to be a caricature person he's not going to be a caricature of ridiculous person so that that helps of ridiculous person so that that helps of ridiculous person so that that helps us understand which ideas us understand which ideas us understand which ideas uh will sound appealing but will become uh will sound appealing but will become uh will sound appealing but will become dangerous I totally agree in fact it's dangerous I totally agree in fact it's dangerous I totally agree in fact it's one of the one of the one of the thrusts uh I have on my channel is thrusts uh I have on my channel is thrusts uh I have on my channel is wanting to talk about scientology in a wanting to talk about scientology in a wanting to talk about scientology in a way that would actually resonate with way that would actually resonate with way that would actually resonate with current scientologists not just resonate current scientologists not just resonate current scientologists not just resonate with former scientologists I want people with former scientologists I want people with former scientologists I want people who are still in to be able to hear how who are still in to be able to hear how who are still in to be able to hear how I talk about it and go wow he's being I talk about it and go wow he's being I talk about it and go wow he's being really fair and really accurate he's not really fair and really accurate he's not really fair and really accurate he's not just a hater you know what I mean if you just a hater you know what I mean if you just a hater you know what I mean if you look at the you know let's take one of look at the you know let's take one of look at the you know let's take one of the worst places on Earth is North Korea the worst places on Earth is North Korea the worst places on Earth is North Korea uh you have Kim Jong-un and the reality uh you have Kim Jong-un and the reality uh you have Kim Jong-un and the reality is there's a lot of citizens of that is there's a lot of citizens of that is there's a lot of citizens of that nation that deeply love the leader nation that deeply love the leader nation that deeply love the leader because they've grew up in that way and because they've grew up in that way and because they've grew up in that way and you I mean through fear through all you I mean through fear through all you I mean through fear through all kinds of manipulation through propaganda kinds of manipulation through propaganda kinds of manipulation through propaganda and so on they're not allowed to love and so on they're not allowed to love and so on they're not allowed to love members of their own family they're not members of their own family they're not members of their own family they're not allowed to have romantic love they're allowed to have romantic love they're allowed to have romantic love they're only allowed to have love for the leader only allowed to have love for the leader only allowed to have love for the leader and to reach those people you have to and to reach those people you have to and to reach those people you have to empathize with the fact that in their empathize with the fact that in their empathize with the fact that in their eyes in some sense this is a great man eyes in some sense this is a great man eyes in some sense this is a great man this is a god a Messianic figure you this is a god a Messianic figure you this is a god a Messianic figure you can't just make fun of the can't just make fun of the can't just make fun of the Ridiculousness of the situation that Ridiculousness of the situation that Ridiculousness of the situation that this pudgy person Waltzing around this pudgy person Waltzing around this pudgy person Waltzing around creating propaganda like how is this a

lives isn't particularly unique or lives isn't particularly unique or special right special right special right um the fact that Scientology does this um the fact that Scientology does this um the fact that Scientology does this little dance of pretending to believe in little dance of pretending to believe in little dance of pretending to believe in a God I mean it's even like a PR line a God I mean it's even like a PR line a God I mean it's even like a PR line Scientology Representatives will tell Scientology Representatives will tell Scientology Representatives will tell you you can be a Christian and be a you you can be a Christian and be a you you can be a Christian and be a Scientologist well let me tell you what Scientologist well let me tell you what Scientologist well let me tell you what Christians don't believe in past lives Christians don't believe in past lives Christians don't believe in past lives and lives on other galaxies and planets and lives on other galaxies and planets and lives on other galaxies and planets and universes they but and Scientology and universes they but and Scientology and universes they but and Scientology knows that Scientology knows you can't knows that Scientology knows you can't knows that Scientology knows you can't be a Christian and be a Scientologist be a Christian and be a Scientologist be a Christian and be a Scientologist but they will say that it's just an but they will say that it's just an but they will say that it's just an example of sort of the fundamental baked example of sort of the fundamental baked example of sort of the fundamental baked in dishonesty because it's so important in dishonesty because it's so important in dishonesty because it's so important to Scientology on their organizational to Scientology on their organizational to Scientology on their organizational level to have text exempt status level to have text exempt status level to have text exempt status I wonder how do you do you know the I wonder how do you do you know the I wonder how do you do you know the process of what it takes to prove that process of what it takes to prove that process of what it takes to prove that some an organization is a religion while some an organization is a religion while some an organization is a religion while going through that process with the IRS going through that process with the IRS going through that process with the IRS for the second time by the way for the second time by the way for the second time by the way Scientology actually had tax exemption Scientology actually had tax exemption Scientology actually had tax exemption in the early days and the IRS pulled it in the early days and the IRS pulled it in the early days and the IRS pulled it and then they got it back in 1993. while and then they got it back in 1993. while and then they got it back in 1993. while going through that process again the IRS going through that process again the IRS going through that process again the IRS actually took issue with the fact that actually took issue with the fact that actually took issue with the fact that Scientology was claiming you could be a Scientology was claiming you could be a Scientology was claiming you could be a Scientologist and a member of another Scientologist and a member of another Scientologist and a member of another religion the IRS actually said pump the religion the IRS actually said pump the religion the IRS actually said pump the brakes there yeah if you're going to say brakes there yeah if you're going to say brakes there yeah if you're going to say that that that we're going to say you're not a religion we're going to say you're not a religion we're going to say you're not a religion yeah and they actually in put in writing yeah and they actually in put in writing yeah and they actually in put in writing to the IRS no no no no that's not what to the IRS no no no no that's not what to the IRS no no no no that's not what we meant that's not what we meant we meant that's not what we meant we meant that's not what we meant we meant in the beginning you can be we meant in the beginning you can be we meant in the beginning you can be both but eventually you just have to be both but eventually you just have to be both but eventually you just have to be a Scientologist so you mentioned the a Scientologist so you mentioned the a Scientologist so you mentioned the eight eight eight the eight Dynamics but you also the eight Dynamics but you also the eight Dynamics but you also mentioned survival so that seems to be a mentioned survival so that seems to be a mentioned survival so that seems to be a core principle that that human existence core principle that that human existence core principle that that human existence is about survival can you elaborate what
-
is about survival can you elaborate what is about survival can you elaborate what is meant by survival are we talking is meant by survival are we talking is meant by survival are we talking about the survival of the human species about the survival of the human species about the survival of the human species survival of the individual humans survival of the individual humans survival of the individual humans survival of the manifestation of Satan's survival of the manifestation of Satan's survival of the manifestation of Satan's in human form what what do we what's in human form what what do we what's in human form what what do we what's survival so it would be all of that survival so it would be all of that survival so it would be all of that because survival is the the dominant because survival is the the dominant because survival is the the dominant Force across all the Dynamics Force across all the Dynamics Force across all the Dynamics that I mean L Ron Hubbard it was either that I mean L Ron Hubbard it was either that I mean L Ron Hubbard it was either Dianetics or science of survival he Dianetics or science of survival he Dianetics or science of survival he he says he discovered the principle upon he says he discovered the principle upon he says he discovered the principle upon which all life exists and that is all which all life exists and that is all which all life exists and that is all life no matter what it is trying to do life no matter what it is trying to do life no matter what it is trying to do are you ready Alex it's trying to are you ready Alex it's trying to are you ready Alex it's trying to survive survive survive that's pretty powerful that's pretty that's pretty powerful that's pretty that's pretty powerful that's pretty powerful that's it no I I got to tell powerful that's it no I I got to tell powerful that's it no I I got to tell you I gotta you might get me back in no you I gotta you might get me back in no you I gotta you might get me back in no I'm not I'm not trying to get you back I'm not I'm not trying to get you back I'm not I'm not trying to get you back in I'm trying to take you uh get you to in I'm trying to take you uh get you to in I'm trying to take you uh get you to take seriously the power of the ideas take seriously the power of the ideas take seriously the power of the ideas behind Scientology because I think those behind Scientology because I think those behind Scientology because I think those ideas are not bad ideas uh they resonate ideas are not bad ideas uh they resonate ideas are not bad ideas uh they resonate with a lot of ideas throughout with a lot of ideas throughout with a lot of ideas throughout philosophy through our religions philosophy through our religions philosophy through our religions throughout the history of human throughout the history of human throughout the history of human civilization civilization civilization the interesting aspect is how it goes the interesting aspect is how it goes the interesting aspect is how it goes wrong but here's the thing like here's wrong but here's the thing like here's wrong but here's the thing like here's the thing it is consistent with prior the thing it is consistent with prior the thing it is consistent with prior efforts or studies it's just that L Ron efforts or studies it's just that L Ron efforts or studies it's just that L Ron Hubbard said this was a watershed Hubbard said this was a watershed Hubbard said this was a watershed breakthrough that was being discovered breakthrough that was being discovered breakthrough that was being discovered for the first time that's kind of what for the first time that's kind of what for the first time that's kind of what I'm mocking really yeah but you can mock I'm mocking really yeah but you can mock I'm mocking really yeah but you can mock Nietzsche for saying man is Will To Nietzsche for saying man is Will To Nietzsche for saying man is Will To Power you can claim to be the first Power you can claim to be the first Power you can claim to be the first person to ever say it well Nietzsche person to ever say it well Nietzsche person to ever say it well Nietzsche he's had a bit of an ego so like and he's had a bit of an ego so like and he's had a bit of an ego so like and he's full of contradictions but I'm he's full of contradictions but I'm he's full of contradictions but I'm pretty sure pretty sure pretty sure the the imply thing is that he was the

the the imply thing is that he was the the the imply thing is that he was the first first to say it yeah there's a lot first first to say it yeah there's a lot first first to say it yeah there's a lot of scientists there's a one of the of scientists there's a one of the of scientists there's a one of the people I really admire is Stephen people I really admire is Stephen people I really admire is Stephen Wolfram who uh wrote a a book called A Wolfram who uh wrote a a book called A Wolfram who uh wrote a a book called A New Kind of science that explores uh New Kind of science that explores uh New Kind of science that explores uh complex systems and cellular automata complex systems and cellular automata complex systems and cellular automata and these mathematical systems that have and these mathematical systems that have and these mathematical systems that have been explored before but he boldly kind been explored before but he boldly kind been explored before but he boldly kind of defined I am presenting to you a of defined I am presenting to you a of defined I am presenting to you a whole new way to look at the world and whole new way to look at the world and whole new way to look at the world and if you just set a little bit of the ego if you just set a little bit of the ego if you just set a little bit of the ego behind that aside there's actually behind that aside there's actually behind that aside there's actually beautiful ideas in there they have of beautiful ideas in there they have of beautiful ideas in there they have of course been done before and explored course been done before and explored course been done before and explored before but sometimes people declare the before but sometimes people declare the before but sometimes people declare the coolest that's the only thing I'm really coolest that's the only thing I'm really coolest that's the only thing I'm really mocking is yes this discovery that life mocking is yes this discovery that life mocking is yes this discovery that life is trying to survive is greater than the is trying to survive is greater than the is trying to survive is greater than the discovery of fire okay I mean it gets a discovery of fire okay I mean it gets a discovery of fire okay I mean it gets a little silly but that's fine we can little silly but that's fine we can little silly but that's fine we can agree that the fact that life is trying agree that the fact that life is trying agree that the fact that life is trying to survive has meaning and is Meaningful to survive has meaning and is Meaningful to survive has meaning and is Meaningful and can be is valuable and it's true I and can be is valuable and it's true I and can be is valuable and it's true I mean life is trying to survive also mean life is trying to survive also mean life is trying to survive also there's a non-trivial definition of what there's a non-trivial definition of what there's a non-trivial definition of what is life here so this idea of a thing the is life here so this idea of a thing the is life here so this idea of a thing the thing that permeates thing that permeates thing that permeates through lifetimes yeah through people through lifetimes yeah through people through lifetimes yeah through people there's some some fabric that is bigger there's some some fabric that is bigger there's some some fabric that is bigger than the individual biological bags of than the individual biological bags of than the individual biological bags of meat that's a philosophically meat that's a philosophically meat that's a philosophically interesting idea of course if it's not interesting idea of course if it's not interesting idea of course if it's not grounded in a little bit more uh a grounded in a little bit more uh a grounded in a little bit more uh a physical reality then it becomes a physical reality then it becomes a physical reality then it becomes a little to Google and the way I'll run little to Google and the way I'll run little to Google and the way I'll run Hubbard and Scientology defines survival Hubbard and Scientology defines survival Hubbard and Scientology defines survival is very much intertwined with how they is very much intertwined with how they is very much intertwined with how they Define ethics ethics anything you know Define ethics ethics anything you know Define ethics ethics anything you know to be ethical is pro survival to be ethical is pro survival to be ethical is pro survival to be unethical is counter survival but to be unethical is counter survival but to be unethical is counter survival but we were talking about just the concept we were talking about just the concept we were talking about just the concept of the Dynamics like what does survival of the Dynamics like what does survival of the Dynamics like what does survival refer to and it actually does refer to

refer to and it actually does refer to refer to and it actually does refer to all of them but just keep in mind when all of them but just keep in mind when all of them but just keep in mind when it comes to the seventh Dynamic thetans it comes to the seventh Dynamic thetans it comes to the seventh Dynamic thetans collectively collectively collectively um involved in here's the idea that a um involved in here's the idea that a um involved in here's the idea that a thing cannot die there's no such thing thing cannot die there's no such thing thing cannot die there's no such thing as killing a thing nathane can only can as killing a thing nathane can only can as killing a thing nathane can only can only survive only survive only survive and so and so and so um anyway uh this concept of the um anyway uh this concept of the um anyway uh this concept of the Dynamics is one of the most fundamental Dynamics is one of the most fundamental Dynamics is one of the most fundamental and important Concepts in Scientology and important Concepts in Scientology and important Concepts in Scientology but but because I mentioned that it also but but because I mentioned that it also but but because I mentioned that it also gets tied up with ethics and this gets tied up with ethics and this gets tied up with ethics and this probably speaks to what you're just probably speaks to what you're just probably speaks to what you're just talking about is you can have the ideas talking about is you can have the ideas talking about is you can have the ideas and the concepts and you can have how do and the concepts and you can have how do and the concepts and you can have how do they go wrong they go wrong they go wrong because they hold because they hold because they hold that Scientology applying Scientology that Scientology applying Scientology that Scientology applying Scientology getting people into Scientology is the getting people into Scientology is the getting people into Scientology is the key to basically saving every spiritual key to basically saving every spiritual key to basically saving every spiritual being in existence being in existence being in existence when you're analyzing what is ethical it when you're analyzing what is ethical it when you're analyzing what is ethical it becomes whatever is good for Scientology becomes whatever is good for Scientology becomes whatever is good for Scientology becomes by definition ethical because becomes by definition ethical because becomes by definition ethical because anything that's good for Scientology anything that's good for Scientology anything that's good for Scientology which is a third Dynamic is inherently which is a third Dynamic is inherently which is a third Dynamic is inherently good for all the Dynamics so that's good for all the Dynamics so that's good for all the Dynamics so that's where you get where you get where you get the ends justifying the means to do any the ends justifying the means to do any the ends justifying the means to do any anything possible and use any means anything possible and use any means anything possible and use any means necessary to afford the aims of necessary to afford the aims of necessary to afford the aims of Scientology that's kind of where a lot Scientology that's kind of where a lot Scientology that's kind of where a lot of uh Soviet implementation of Communism of uh Soviet implementation of Communism of uh Soviet implementation of Communism went wrong is the ends justify the means went wrong is the ends justify the means went wrong is the ends justify the means the equality the justice for the workers the equality the justice for the workers the equality the justice for the workers uh if we have to kill murder in prison uh if we have to kill murder in prison uh if we have to kill murder in prison censor yeah in in the name of that then censor yeah in in the name of that then censor yeah in in the name of that then it's it's for the greater good in the it's it's for the greater good in the it's it's for the greater good in the long term to achieve the the ideal of long term to achieve the the ideal of long term to achieve the the ideal of Communism in some respects Scientology

squeezing please okay so I'm just like squeezing yeah and I'm just changing the yeah and I'm just changing the yeah and I'm just changing the sensitivity because when you squeeze the sensitivity because when you squeeze the sensitivity because when you squeeze the cans I want to get about a one-third of cans I want to get about a one-third of cans I want to get about a one-third of a dial drop on the needle the idea is a dial drop on the needle the idea is a dial drop on the needle the idea is you don't want if the needle's too you don't want if the needle's too you don't want if the needle's too sensitive then every time you shift sensitive then every time you shift sensitive then every time you shift around in your chair the needle is going around in your chair the needle is going around in your chair the needle is going to bounce all over the place so you're to bounce all over the place so you're to bounce all over the place so you're trying to set the sensitivity to

on the bottom to the left that's the on the bottom to the left that's the on the bottom to the left that's the sensitivity knob sensitivity knob sensitivity knob and that determines just uh how much

actually works meaning why does the actually works meaning why does the actually works meaning why does the emitter work so we talked before about emitter work so we talked before about emitter work so we talked before about these um these mental pictures right these um these mental pictures right these um these mental pictures right these recordings okay well we spoke these recordings okay well we spoke these recordings okay well we spoke about engrams just recordings of pain about engrams just recordings of pain about engrams just recordings of pain and unconsciousness

wow oh yeah wow oh yeah but so you can actually take on a whole but so you can actually take on a whole but so you can actually take on a whole new guilt oh yeah so I I okay all right new guilt oh yeah so I I okay all right new guilt oh yeah so I I okay all right you might actually take on a lot more you might actually take on a lot more you might actually take on a lot more guilt and let go of guilt and let go of guilt and let go of because if you feel like that because if you feel like that because if you feel like that self-critical aspect of the brain self-critical aspect of the brain self-critical aspect of the brain boy because I'm my brain is really boy because I'm my brain is really boy because I'm my brain is really self-critical so I could see myself self-critical so I could see myself self-critical so I could see myself manufacturing if I was forced to over manufacturing if I was forced to over manufacturing if I was forced to over time some kind of story where I did time some kind of story where I did time some kind of story where I did genocide a whole population of like genocide a whole population of like genocide a whole population of like Pluto or something at a different Pluto or something at a different Pluto or something at a different distant is somewhere in Alpha Centauri distant is somewhere in Alpha Centauri distant is somewhere in Alpha Centauri yeah so I mean and now I walk around yeah so I mean and now I walk around yeah so I mean and now I walk around with that guilt wait am I actually a with that guilt wait am I actually a with that guilt wait am I actually a horrible person so imagine though if you horrible person so imagine though if you horrible person so imagine though if you had not only are you looking at you know had not only are you looking at you know had not only are you looking at you know if someone's being self-critical trying if someone's being self-critical trying if someone's being self-critical trying to identify destructive patterns of to identify destructive patterns of to identify destructive patterns of behavior in your present life but what behavior in your present life but what behavior in your present life but what if you really internalize the fact that if you really internalize the fact that if you really internalize the fact that I haven't only been this way I haven't only been this way I haven't only been this way for 40 years I've been this way for 40 for 40 years I've been this way for 40 for 40 years I've been this way for 40 trillion years yeah trillion years yeah trillion years yeah but Scientology would argue but Scientology would argue but Scientology would argue that as a Satan you're inherently good that as a Satan you're inherently good that as a Satan you're inherently good all things are basically good so the the all things are basically good so the the all things are basically good so the the goal of the auditing procedure there goal of the auditing procedure there goal of the auditing procedure there would be essentially to figure out find would be essentially to figure out find would be essentially to figure out find the moment find what it was that caused the moment find what it was that caused the moment find what it was that caused you you you to make that shift as a being to make that shift as a being to make that shift as a being to dramatize you know evil intentions to dramatize you know evil intentions to dramatize you know evil intentions and stuff like that so even if you're and stuff like that so even if you're and stuff like that so even if you're going whole track going whole track going whole track looking at all the horrible things looking at all the horrible things looking at all the horrible things you've done the goal is to find like you've done the goal is to find like you've done the goal is to find like well what happened just prior to that well what happened just prior to that well what happened just prior to that what was like the prior confusion and what was like the prior confusion and what was like the prior confusion and what what did you misunderstand just what what did you misunderstand just what what did you misunderstand just before that and whatnot so the goal is before that and whatnot so the goal is before that and whatnot so the goal is basically so scientologists after a lot basically so scientologists after a lot basically so scientologists after a lot of auditing are also convinced that they

of auditing are also convinced that they of auditing are also convinced that they have fixed the reason have fixed the reason have fixed the reason for any non-optimum for any non-optimum for any non-optimum conduct and underlying this is a belief conduct and underlying this is a belief conduct and underlying this is a belief that at the core we're all good yes that at the core we're all good yes that at the core we're all good yes there's a lot of really powerful ideas there's a lot of really powerful ideas there's a lot of really powerful ideas in Scientology which is so interesting in Scientology which is so interesting in Scientology which is so interesting that it goes wrong yeah okay uh what that it goes wrong yeah okay uh what that it goes wrong yeah okay uh what about the training you mentioned the about the training you mentioned the about the training you mentioned the training of the auditor that's really training of the auditor that's really training of the auditor that's really interesting so what's how lengthy is interesting so what's how lengthy is interesting so what's how lengthy is that process it can take years that process it can take years that process it can take years I mean one of that question I want to I mean one of that question I want to I mean one of that question I want to ask is are people in Sea org like as an ask is are people in Sea org like as an ask is are people in Sea org like as an auditor do you believe everything how auditor do you believe everything how auditor do you believe everything how much much much um is there a crisis of faith that um is there a crisis of faith that um is there a crisis of faith that Creeps in in religion you have a crisis Creeps in in religion you have a crisis Creeps in in religion you have a crisis of faith when you start to wonder like of faith when you start to wonder like of faith when you start to wonder like does God even exist so in this case how does God even exist so in this case how does God even exist so in this case how often do you start to doubt often do you start to doubt often do you start to doubt that some of the core beliefs of that some of the core beliefs of that some of the core beliefs of Scientology are false Scientology are false Scientology are false Scientology would say that Scientology Scientology would say that Scientology Scientology would say that Scientology is not about beliefs it's about a is not about beliefs it's about a is not about beliefs it's about a application of the techniques of application of the techniques of application of the techniques of Scientology auditing to improve Scientology auditing to improve Scientology auditing to improve someone's spiritual awareness and someone's spiritual awareness and someone's spiritual awareness and ability so the belief level of ability so the belief level of ability so the belief level of Scientology is pretty much the stuff Scientology is pretty much the stuff Scientology is pretty much the stuff we've already discussed the we've already discussed the we've already discussed the effectiveness of the auditing process so effectiveness of the auditing process so effectiveness of the auditing process so the effectiveness of the auditing the effectiveness of the auditing the effectiveness of the auditing process is one of the things Hubbard process is one of the things Hubbard process is one of the things Hubbard says is that standard Tech standard says is that standard Tech standard says is that standard Tech standard Scientology they call it the tech the Scientology they call it the tech the Scientology they call it the tech the technology of how to deliver auditing technology of how to deliver auditing technology of how to deliver auditing standard Tech Works 100 of the time when standard Tech Works 100 of the time when standard Tech Works 100 of the time when applied 100 correctly well that's kind applied 100 correctly well that's kind applied 100 correctly well that's kind of unfalsifiable right yeah because of unfalsifiable right yeah because of unfalsifiable right yeah because anytime it doesn't work it wasn't anytime it doesn't work it wasn't anytime it doesn't work it wasn't applied correctly exactly applied correctly exactly applied correctly exactly that's a nice little uh escape hatch to
-
that's a nice little uh escape hatch to that's a nice little uh escape hatch to pull on having a crisis of faith it pull on having a crisis of faith it pull on having a crisis of faith it didn't work well didn't work well didn't work well then obviously it wasn't applied then obviously it wasn't applied then obviously it wasn't applied correctly that's where quality control correctly that's where quality control correctly that's where quality control comes in their job is to nitpick and you comes in their job is to nitpick and you comes in their job is to nitpick and you can always find one thing that wasn't can always find one thing that wasn't can always find one thing that wasn't done correctly communism done correctly communism done correctly communism uh didn't work because it wasn't uh didn't work because it wasn't uh didn't work because it wasn't implemented correctly it's the it's implemented correctly it's the it's implemented correctly it's the it's always it's always it's always an escape always it's always it's always an escape always it's always it's always an escape hatch with ideologies that's right sure hatch with ideologies that's right sure hatch with ideologies that's right sure that's right I would probably argue that that's right I would probably argue that that's right I would probably argue that Auditors Auditors Auditors um are not in a position of having many um are not in a position of having many um are not in a position of having many crisis of Faith because actually they're crisis of Faith because actually they're crisis of Faith because actually they're usually seeing people for the most part usually seeing people for the most part usually seeing people for the most part improve in some ways through the process improve in some ways through the process improve in some ways through the process of auditing now auditing can create like of auditing now auditing can create like of auditing now auditing can create like a state somewhat of a euphoric State you a state somewhat of a euphoric State you a state somewhat of a euphoric State you feel great you're just blown out of your feel great you're just blown out of your feel great you're just blown out of your head you know you feel on top of the head you know you feel on top of the head you know you feel on top of the world I've had that in some of my world I've had that in some of my world I've had that in some of my auditing as an auditor sorry no as a auditing as an auditor sorry no as a auditing as an auditor sorry no as a person receiving auditing okay and so my person receiving auditing okay and so my person receiving auditing okay and so my point is as an auditor doing a lot of point is as an auditor doing a lot of point is as an auditor doing a lot of auditing you know you're going to have auditing you know you're going to have auditing you know you're going to have someone in front of you called the the someone in front of you called the the someone in front of you called the the pre-clear is the person in front of you pre-clear is the person in front of you pre-clear is the person in front of you who's getting the auditing called the PC who's getting the auditing called the PC who's getting the auditing called the PC or the pre-clear or the pre-clear or the pre-clear they see over and over and over again they see over and over and over again they see over and over and over again these PCS having these sort of euphoric these PCS having these sort of euphoric these PCS having these sort of euphoric States and floating needles and I feel States and floating needles and I feel States and floating needles and I feel great and fantastic oh thanks you saved great and fantastic oh thanks you saved great and fantastic oh thanks you saved my life like my life like my life like I've always said if Scientology if I've always said if Scientology if I've always said if Scientology if people didn't find Scientology helpful people didn't find Scientology helpful people didn't find Scientology helpful nobody would ever stay in Scientology nobody would ever stay in Scientology nobody would ever stay in Scientology right right right and so Auditors are pretty much the ones and so Auditors are pretty much the ones and so Auditors are pretty much the ones doing the heavy lifting of what it even doing the heavy lifting of what it even doing the heavy lifting of what it even means to be a Scientologist those guys means to be a Scientologist those guys means to be a Scientologist those guys aren't the ones that you end up aren't the ones that you end up aren't the ones that you end up um having crisis of faith I mean doing um having crisis of faith I mean doing um having crisis of faith I mean doing Scientology auditing it doesn't require Scientology auditing it doesn't require Scientology auditing it doesn't require that you believe just have faith that
-
that you believe just have faith that that you believe just have faith that you believe something you just have to you believe something you just have to you believe something you just have to go through these motions and go through these motions and go through these motions and scientologists one of the reasons scientologists one of the reasons scientologists one of the reasons scientologists think this is all scientologists think this is all scientologists think this is all scientific is because it's like I don't scientific is because it's like I don't scientific is because it's like I don't care if you believe why this works I care if you believe why this works I care if you believe why this works I care how you feel at the end of an care how you feel at the end of an care how you feel at the end of an auditing session and empirically auditing session and empirically auditing session and empirically speaking speaking speaking like anecdotal data is it actually seems like anecdotal data is it actually seems like anecdotal data is it actually seems to improve people's lives within the to improve people's lives within the to improve people's lives within the context so taking the outside world out context so taking the outside world out context so taking the outside world out of it within this particular of it within this particular of it within this particular organization organization organization you're actually measurably seeing you're actually measurably seeing you're actually measurably seeing Improvement yes is that is that some Improvement yes is that is that some Improvement yes is that is that some degree real because like if you look at degree real because like if you look at degree real because like if you look at a book like Animal Farm a book like Animal Farm a book like Animal Farm where the pigs start to rule the other where the pigs start to rule the other where the pigs start to rule the other animals and over time the life of the animals and over time the life of the animals and over time the life of the animals gets worse and worse and worse animals gets worse and worse and worse animals gets worse and worse and worse while the pigs keep saying that's while the pigs keep saying that's while the pigs keep saying that's actually getting better and better and actually getting better and better and actually getting better and better and better again communism same thing the better again communism same thing the better again communism same thing the the rationing is getting worse and worse the rationing is getting worse and worse the rationing is getting worse and worse and worse less and less food but just and worse less and less food but just and worse less and less food but just constant reporting uh that there's more constant reporting uh that there's more constant reporting uh that there's more and more food where we're winning and more food where we're winning and more food where we're winning hashtag I would argue that what you've hashtag I would argue that what you've hashtag I would argue that what you've just described it could be just described it could be just described it could be an identical description of what it an identical description of what it an identical description of what it feels like and what it means to go up feels like and what it means to go up feels like and what it means to go up scientology's bridge to total freedom scientology's bridge to total freedom scientology's bridge to total freedom you are reinforcing to yourself that you are reinforcing to yourself that you are reinforcing to yourself that everything's getting better and better everything's getting better and better everything's getting better and better and better and and you'd be like and better and and you'd be like and better and and you'd be like you don't spend time with your family you don't spend time with your family you don't spend time with your family anymore yeah you're broke even though anymore yeah you're broke even though anymore yeah you're broke even though you make a lot of money you're always you make a lot of money you're always you make a lot of money you're always stressed you're you're at the beck and stressed you're you're at the beck and stressed you're you're at the beck and call of these people who seem to run call of these people who seem to run call of these people who seem to run your run your lives like how a your run your lives like how a your run your lives like how a Scientologist feels about their own life Scientologist feels about their own life Scientologist feels about their own life is is is um it's very interesting to compare that um it's very interesting to compare that um it's very interesting to compare that to how that person's life looks to their
-
to how that person's life looks to their to how that person's life looks to their non-scientology family members I get non-scientology family members I get non-scientology family members I get contacted by a lot of people who've contacted by a lot of people who've contacted by a lot of people who've never been in Scientology but like I got never been in Scientology but like I got never been in Scientology but like I got a family member who's who's really deep a family member who's who's really deep a family member who's who's really deep and I just can you help me understand and I just can you help me understand and I just can you help me understand some things why is this person's life some things why is this person's life some things why is this person's life like this why is this person's life like like this why is this person's life like like this why is this person's life like this this this so I I don't want to say that so I I don't want to say that so I I don't want to say that scientologists do not actually I don't scientologists do not actually I don't scientologists do not actually I don't want to say oh it's all on their heads want to say oh it's all on their heads want to say oh it's all on their heads they think they're being helped but they think they're being helped but they think they're being helped but they're really not that doesn't feel they're really not that doesn't feel they're really not that doesn't feel honest you know but it's this thing honest you know but it's this thing honest you know but it's this thing where if Scientology was just where if Scientology was just where if Scientology was just getting auditing getting auditing getting auditing when you wanted when you wanted when you wanted about the subjects you wanted and you about the subjects you wanted and you about the subjects you wanted and you could take it or leave it that would be could take it or leave it that would be could take it or leave it that would be fine fine fine it's it's the fact that it's part and it's it's the fact that it's part and it's it's the fact that it's part and parcel to this entire organization and parcel to this entire organization and parcel to this entire organization and this entire experience this entire experience this entire experience that has as a part of that experience that has as a part of that experience that has as a part of that experience taking everything from you demanding taking everything from you demanding taking everything from you demanding everything from you controlling who you everything from you controlling who you everything from you controlling who you can speak with can speak with can speak with controlling who you can have controlling who you can have controlling who you can have relationships with who you have to erase relationships with who you have to erase relationships with who you have to erase from your life this is where and it's from your life this is where and it's from your life this is where and it's hard to it's hard to place one pinpoint hard to it's hard to place one pinpoint hard to it's hard to place one pinpoint on this is where Scientology goes wrong on this is where Scientology goes wrong on this is where Scientology goes wrong it's really hard to do that because the it's really hard to do that because the it's really hard to do that because the good parts of Scientology and the bad good parts of Scientology and the bad good parts of Scientology and the bad parts of Scientology parts of Scientology parts of Scientology are all just Scientology yeah so there's are all just Scientology yeah so there's are all just Scientology yeah so there's definition was bad for you and it's definition was bad for you and it's definition was bad for you and it's probably in the beginning is bad for you probably in the beginning is bad for you probably in the beginning is bad for you um this almost just sounds like a um this almost just sounds like a um this almost just sounds like a template of a toxic relationship you template of a toxic relationship you template of a toxic relationship you know there's a bunch of stuff in this know there's a bunch of stuff in this know there's a bunch of stuff in this world that's just not good for you so world that's just not good for you so world that's just not good for you so the uh the authority the authoritarian

on Scientology interestingly enough is on Scientology interestingly enough is not that negative about scientology not that negative about scientology not that negative about scientology um so like it

what is true on the internet by what is true on the internet by Scientology well these days they've Scientology well these days they've Scientology well these days they've pretty much I think thrown in the towel pretty much I think thrown in the towel pretty much I think thrown in the towel but they have the Scientology middle but they have the Scientology middle but they have the Scientology middle management management management was editing Wikipedia so often from IP was editing Wikipedia so often from IP was editing Wikipedia so often from IP addresses that were traced back to the addresses that were traced back to the addresses that were traced back to the Scientology buildings that uh Wikipedia Scientology buildings that uh Wikipedia Scientology buildings that uh Wikipedia locked them out from any IP addresses locked them out from any IP addresses locked them out from any IP addresses associated with Scientology from being associated with Scientology from being associated with Scientology from being able to edit it it's like the able to edit it it's like the able to edit it it's like the Scientology was so infatuated with Scientology was so infatuated with Scientology was so infatuated with trying to control the information and in trying to control the information and in trying to control the information and in the early days of the internet they had the early days of the internet they had the early days of the internet they had a certain degree of success with that a certain degree of success with that a certain degree of success with that they just it's just hopeless these days they just it's just hopeless these days they just it's just hopeless these days it's the scale the scale is not there it's the scale the scale is not there it's the scale the scale is not there but actually I'm very surprised how uh but actually I'm very surprised how uh but actually I'm very surprised how uh bot Farms how effective they can be at a bot Farms how effective they can be at a bot Farms how effective they can be at a very small scale if you just pay 100 very small scale if you just pay 100 very small scale if you just pay 100 people just spread narratives but the people just spread narratives but the people just spread narratives but the the the the bad stuff the the reason the the the bad stuff the the reason the the the bad stuff the the reason that's effective is you can kind of that's effective is you can kind of that's effective is you can kind of create conspiracy theories create conspiracy theories create conspiracy theories that create chaos and nobody knows what that create chaos and nobody knows what that create chaos and nobody knows what is true that bot Farms can do but is true that bot Farms can do but is true that bot Farms can do but actually really nicely control a actually really nicely control a actually really nicely control a narrative is hard so to create chaos narrative is hard so to create chaos narrative is hard so to create chaos it's easier to do to to basically say it's easier to do to to basically say it's easier to do to to basically say like like like um you know do PR control is very hard um you know do PR control is very hard um you know do PR control is very hard yeah so especially on the internet yeah so especially on the internet yeah so especially on the internet especially when the critical eye especially when the critical eye especially when the critical eye is there the internet can smell bullshit is there the internet can smell bullshit is there the internet can smell bullshit which is one of the really really which is one of the really really which is one of the really really powerful things about the internet and I powerful things about the internet and I powerful things about the internet and I gotta tell you it's one of the reasons I gotta tell you it's one of the reasons I gotta tell you it's one of the reasons I do my YouTube channel it's one of the do my YouTube channel it's one of the do my YouTube channel it's one of the reasons I decided to upload every day reasons I decided to upload every day reasons I decided to upload every day I've uploaded every day for the last six I've uploaded every day for the last six I've uploaded every day for the last six months I just wanted there to be a months I just wanted there to be a months I just wanted there to be a Non-Stop flow Non-Stop flow Non-Stop flow of information of any kind in any of information of any kind in any of information of any kind in any variety as long as it's fair and

authentic and just putting yourself out authentic and just putting yourself out there completely in their story there completely in their story there completely in their story completely then that's the best way to completely then that's the best way to completely then that's the best way to fight it that's the other reason to be fight it that's the other reason to be fight it that's the other reason to be prolific on the internet right the prolific on the internet right the prolific on the internet right the reason Joe Rogan can't get canceled reason Joe Rogan can't get canceled reason Joe Rogan can't get canceled is because is because is because anyone can watch thousands of hours of anyone can watch thousands of hours of anyone can watch thousands of hours of the authentic Joe Rogan you can't the authentic Joe Rogan you can't the authentic Joe Rogan you can't misrepresent him because he spend misrepresent him because he spend misrepresent him because he spend thousands of hours representing himself thousands of hours representing himself thousands of hours representing himself genuinely yeah the nice thing when you genuinely yeah the nice thing when you genuinely yeah the nice thing when you representing yourself generally you representing yourself generally you representing yourself generally you should be a good person should be a good person should be a good person so if you're a good person then the so if you're a good person then the so if you're a good person then the internet will know you can smell out the internet will know you can smell out the internet will know you can smell out the bullshit who is David moscowage it's bullshit who is David moscowage it's bullshit who is David moscowage it's even like because you said L Ron Harbor even like because you said L Ron Harbor even like because you said L Ron Harbor founded Scientology yeah founded Scientology yeah founded Scientology yeah let's go to the story of how we let's go to the story of how we let's go to the story of how we transition from that to Dear miscarriage transition from that to Dear miscarriage transition from that to Dear miscarriage the current leader of Scientology the current leader of Scientology the current leader of Scientology uh he was actually not selected by El uh he was actually not selected by El uh he was actually not selected by El Ron Hubbard to take over but ended up Ron Hubbard to take over but ended up Ron Hubbard to take over but ended up usurfing power and taking over this usurfing power and taking over this usurfing power and taking over this sounds like Stalin and Trotsky sounds like Stalin and Trotsky sounds like Stalin and Trotsky similar story it's the it's the person similar story it's the it's the person similar story it's the it's the person oftentimes in the situation oftentimes in the situation oftentimes in the situation uh it's not the natural uh it's not the natural uh it's not the natural successor to power it's the one that successor to power it's the one that successor to power it's the one that takes power right I think the quote takes power right I think the quote takes power right I think the quote sometimes it gets attributed to David sometimes it gets attributed to David sometimes it gets attributed to David miscavige's um power power is not given miscavige's um power power is not given miscavige's um power power is not given it is assumed yeah something like that it is assumed yeah something like that it is assumed yeah something like that the last six years of Alvin Hubbard's the last six years of Alvin Hubbard's the last six years of Alvin Hubbard's life he was often a seclusion life he was often a seclusion life he was often a seclusion essentially hiding from lawsuits now by essentially hiding from lawsuits now by essentially hiding from lawsuits now by the time Hubbard went off into seclusion the time Hubbard went off into seclusion the time Hubbard went off into seclusion miscavige had sort of already risen up miscavige had sort of already risen up miscavige had sort of already risen up through the ranks of the sea through the ranks of the sea through the ranks of the sea organization now miscavige was like a organization now miscavige was like a organization now miscavige was like a teenager either like 11 12 13 or teenager either like 11 12 13 or teenager either like 11 12 13 or something like that miscavage was not
-
something like that miscavage was not something like that miscavage was not born into Scientology but he was a young born into Scientology but he was a young born into Scientology but he was a young a young boy when his father got into a young boy when his father got into a young boy when his father got into Scientology okay so miscavige did start Scientology okay so miscavige did start Scientology okay so miscavige did start working as a sea org member so there's working as a sea org member so there's working as a sea org member so there's one organization that existed to one organization that existed to one organization that existed to essentially serve Hubbard directly and essentially serve Hubbard directly and essentially serve Hubbard directly and to represent his interest and that was to represent his interest and that was to represent his interest and that was called The Commodore he was the called The Commodore he was the called The Commodore he was the Commodore of the sea organization The Commodore of the sea organization The Commodore of the sea organization The Commodores Messengers organization we're Commodores Messengers organization we're Commodores Messengers organization we're gonna call it the CML gonna call it the CML gonna call it the CML miscavige started working for the CMO um miscavige started working for the CMO um miscavige started working for the CMO um pretty early on in his sea org career by pretty early on in his sea org career by pretty early on in his sea org career by the way as did Mike render the way as did Mike render the way as did Mike render mini mic okay mini mic okay mini mic okay and so he just became known as a doer and so he just became known as a doer and so he just became known as a doer like a guy who'll get it done like a guy who'll get it done like a guy who'll get it done no excuses no stops you know get it done no excuses no stops you know get it done no excuses no stops you know get it done so so so he had made a name for himself in the he had made a name for himself in the he had made a name for himself in the CMO CMO CMO around the time around the time around the time by the time probably went off into by the time probably went off into by the time probably went off into seclusion now when he went off into seclusion now when he went off into seclusion now when he went off into seclusion he took two other CMO or I'm seclusion he took two other CMO or I'm seclusion he took two other CMO or I'm going to call him Messengers right going to call him Messengers right going to call him Messengers right commodore's Messengers he took two other commodore's Messengers he took two other commodore's Messengers he took two other Messengers with him patent any broker Messengers with him patent any broker Messengers with him patent any broker now it has been said by people Mike Mike now it has been said by people Mike Mike now it has been said by people Mike Mike rinder has told me he goes the reason rinder has told me he goes the reason rinder has told me he goes the reason Pat and Annie went off with lrh isn't Pat and Annie went off with lrh isn't Pat and Annie went off with lrh isn't necessarily because he desperately necessarily because he desperately necessarily because he desperately wanted them to but partly because we wanted them to but partly because we wanted them to but partly because we could afford to let them go we didn't could afford to let them go we didn't could afford to let them go we didn't necessarily need them sure okay and necessarily need them sure okay and necessarily need them sure okay and between the two of them Annie was the between the two of them Annie was the between the two of them Annie was the one who was like a really compassionate one who was like a really compassionate one who was like a really compassionate person person person intelligent person caring person was intelligent person caring person was intelligent person caring person was there a possible trajectory of this there a possible trajectory of this there a possible trajectory of this world where she was the one that took world where she was the one that took world where she was the one that took over yes in fact uh Pat and Annie broker over yes in fact uh Pat and Annie broker over yes in fact uh Pat and Annie broker were the two people that were supposed

were the two people that were supposed were the two people that were supposed to take over okay but because Pat and to take over okay but because Pat and to take over okay but because Pat and Annie were with Hubbard in seclusion Annie were with Hubbard in seclusion Annie were with Hubbard in seclusion miscavige miscavige miscavige basically had the complete run of the basically had the complete run of the basically had the complete run of the operation without any oversight from operation without any oversight from operation without any oversight from Hubbard the only way any information Hubbard the only way any information Hubbard the only way any information would get from Scientology world to would get from Scientology world to would get from Scientology world to Hubbard is miscavige and patbroker would Hubbard is miscavige and patbroker would Hubbard is miscavige and patbroker would meet at a confidential location and meet at a confidential location and meet at a confidential location and miscavige would give broker any miscavige would give broker any miscavige would give broker any information he wanted to go to lrh so if information he wanted to go to lrh so if information he wanted to go to lrh so if miscavage wanted to get rid of somebody miscavage wanted to get rid of somebody miscavage wanted to get rid of somebody all he had to do was feed lrh false all he had to do was feed lrh false all he had to do was feed lrh false information that this person was doing information that this person was doing information that this person was doing had been caught doing something had been caught doing something had been caught doing something treasonous treasonous treasonous and then he would get in response some and then he would get in response some and then he would get in response some order from L Ron Hubbard to get rid of order from L Ron Hubbard to get rid of order from L Ron Hubbard to get rid of this person having to so this person having to so this person having to so are there so many similarities between are there so many similarities between are there so many similarities between various communist regimes and fascist various communist regimes and fascist various communist regimes and fascist regimes well Hitler did the same thing regimes well Hitler did the same thing regimes well Hitler did the same thing when he uh became the supreme leader he when he uh became the supreme leader he when he uh became the supreme leader he had to take power had to take power had to take power yeah had to wait for the president to yeah had to wait for the president to yeah had to wait for the president to die but the whole the whole time there's die but the whole the whole time there's die but the whole the whole time there's a control of information and and a slow a control of information and and a slow a control of information and and a slow aggregation of power of course with aggregation of power of course with aggregation of power of course with Nations is different because if you Nations is different because if you Nations is different because if you control the military you control a lot control the military you control a lot control the military you control a lot so there's you have to also get the so there's you have to also get the so there's you have to also get the generals on your side and so on but I'm generals on your side and so on but I'm generals on your side and so on but I'm sure in this situation there is similar sure in this situation there is similar sure in this situation there is similar kind of Dynamics you have to get certain kind of Dynamics you have to get certain kind of Dynamics you have to get certain people on your side control the flow of people on your side control the flow of people on your side control the flow of information uh let the original founder information uh let the original founder information uh let the original founder the original leader die off yeah and the original leader die off yeah and the original leader die off yeah and make sure that you are the one that's make sure that you are the one that's make sure that you are the one that's left with the power right left with the power right left with the power right so whereas Pat and Annie are off with so whereas Pat and Annie are off with so whereas Pat and Annie are off with lrh lrh lrh all of scientology's attorneys and all of scientology's attorneys and all of scientology's attorneys and accountants and lobbyists and whatever

-
who's misunderstood and the case that who's misunderstood and the case that he's not a good man he's not a good man he's not a good man first of all I believe that miscavige is first of all I believe that miscavige is first of all I believe that miscavige is a True Believer in Scientology a True Believer in Scientology a True Believer in Scientology I do believe that that's a really I do believe that that's a really I do believe that that's a really important uh question do you think he important uh question do you think he important uh question do you think he believes in all the thetans and and all believes in all the thetans and and all believes in all the thetans and and all of that he definitely believes in that of that he definitely believes in that of that he definitely believes in that I think he believes in Scientology but I think he believes in Scientology but I think he believes in Scientology but in a different way than all other in a different way than all other in a different way than all other scientologists because he's aware of a scientologists because he's aware of a scientologists because he's aware of a lot more information yeah damaging lot more information yeah damaging lot more information yeah damaging information about L Ron Hubbard and the information about L Ron Hubbard and the information about L Ron Hubbard and the true story of Scientology than most true story of Scientology than most true story of Scientology than most people so his version of belief is people so his version of belief is people so his version of belief is different I'll give you one example here different I'll give you one example here different I'll give you one example here so scientology's bridge to total freedom so scientology's bridge to total freedom so scientology's bridge to total freedom goes up to what they call ot8 operating goes up to what they call ot8 operating goes up to what they call ot8 operating thing in level eight okay thing in level eight okay thing in level eight okay scientologists have all been told that L scientologists have all been told that L scientologists have all been told that L Ron Hubbard before he passed finished Ron Hubbard before he passed finished Ron Hubbard before he passed finished completed putting together completed putting together completed putting together OT 910 11 12 13 14 and 15. it's just OT 910 11 12 13 14 and 15. it's just OT 910 11 12 13 14 and 15. it's just sitting in the vault waiting to be sitting in the vault waiting to be sitting in the vault waiting to be released this is part of the Scientology released this is part of the Scientology released this is part of the Scientology belief system because remember I said belief system because remember I said belief system because remember I said growing up scientology's Bridge of total growing up scientology's Bridge of total growing up scientology's Bridge of total freedom is how you're supposed to get freedom is how you're supposed to get freedom is how you're supposed to get back to your native god-like state while back to your native god-like state while back to your native god-like state while all the scientologists in the world all the scientologists in the world all the scientologists in the world who've already done ot8 know that they who've already done ot8 know that they who've already done ot8 know that they haven't gotten there but they still haven't gotten there but they still haven't gotten there but they still believe in Scientology because they're believe in Scientology because they're believe in Scientology because they're told there's more but wait there's more told there's more but wait there's more told there's more but wait there's more Miss kavich knows there is no more Miss kavich knows there is no more Miss kavich knows there is no more so miscavige knows the fundamental so miscavige knows the fundamental so miscavige knows the fundamental promise of being able to achieve full promise of being able to achieve full promise of being able to achieve full operating thetan operating thetan operating thetan is a lie he knows L Ron Hubbard didn't is a lie he knows L Ron Hubbard didn't is a lie he knows L Ron Hubbard didn't accomplish that so therefore no one else accomplish that so therefore no one else accomplish that so therefore no one else is going to accomplish it as well if L is going to accomplish it as well if L is going to accomplish it as well if L Ron Hubbard had accomplished it Ron Hubbard had accomplished it Ron Hubbard had accomplished it Miss gavage knows well he didn't write Miss gavage knows well he didn't write Miss gavage knows well he didn't write it up he didn't leave instructions for it up he didn't leave instructions for it up he didn't leave instructions for how anyone else would accomplish it so

how anyone else would accomplish it so how anyone else would accomplish it so no matter what miscavige knows no matter what miscavige knows no matter what miscavige knows that the fundamental promise that what that the fundamental promise that what that the fundamental promise that what Scientology is saying they will be able Scientology is saying they will be able Scientology is saying they will be able to deliver to mankind to deliver to mankind to deliver to mankind is a lie is a lie is a lie now it's going to sound like I'm now it's going to sound like I'm now it's going to sound like I'm contradicting myself because it sounds contradicting myself because it sounds contradicting myself because it sounds like I'm saying well he knows it's like I'm saying well he knows it's like I'm saying well he knows it's bullshit bullshit bullshit I think he believes that L Ron Hubbard I think he believes that L Ron Hubbard I think he believes that L Ron Hubbard just failed just failed just failed to finish his work to finish his work to finish his work and he's kind of hoping over on Harper and he's kind of hoping over on Harper and he's kind of hoping over on Harper is going to come back to finish the job is going to come back to finish the job is going to come back to finish the job because elrond Hubbard did tell the because elrond Hubbard did tell the because elrond Hubbard did tell the people at International the people at International the people at International the International Management base at least a International Management base at least a International Management base at least a core of them that he was coming back now core of them that he was coming back now core of them that he was coming back now we know that David miscavige believed we know that David miscavige believed we know that David miscavige believed this because right around the 21 year this because right around the 21 year this because right around the 21 year mark he was supposed to come back like mark he was supposed to come back like mark he was supposed to come back like 21 years after he died right around the 21 years after he died right around the 21 years after he died right around the 21 year mark David miscavige was getting 21 year mark David miscavige was getting 21 year mark David miscavige was getting busy putting some things in place that busy putting some things in place that busy putting some things in place that had to get done in case El Ron Hubbard had to get done in case El Ron Hubbard had to get done in case El Ron Hubbard came back so we know he at least came back so we know he at least came back so we know he at least believed to that level Because he believed to that level Because he believed to that level Because he believes that like El Ron Hubbard can believes that like El Ron Hubbard can believes that like El Ron Hubbard can sort of enter his own body no that's not sort of enter his own body no that's not sort of enter his own body no that's not how it works in Scientology okay so you how it works in Scientology okay so you how it works in Scientology okay so you can't have a transfer of can't have a transfer of can't have a transfer of Satan's if you were full OT you could Satan's if you were full OT you could Satan's if you were full OT you could can you uh describe the OT against can you uh describe the OT against can you uh describe the OT against OT levels OT one two three four five to OT levels OT one two three four five to OT levels OT one two three four five to the eight what um what are they what's the eight what um what are they what's the eight what um what are they what's how do you get to level one I'm gonna how do you get to level one I'm gonna how do you get to level one I'm gonna answer this question by first connecting answer this question by first connecting answer this question by first connecting some dots yes okay some dots yes okay some dots yes okay um we spoke early in the interview about um we spoke early in the interview about um we spoke early in the interview about achieving your native god-like yeah achieving your native god-like yeah achieving your native god-like yeah state that in Scientology is called state that in Scientology is called state that in Scientology is called native state native state native state okay native state and full operating

shock this is but then you still shock this is but then you still probably believe you hope yeah and you probably believe you hope yeah and you probably believe you hope yeah and you might be you might turn into on yourself might be you might turn into on yourself might be you might turn into on yourself self-critical that this is I'm just not self-critical that this is I'm just not self-critical that this is I'm just not strong enough yet strong enough yet strong enough yet yeah because also part of the yeah because also part of the yeah because also part of the Scientology remember it works 100 of the Scientology remember it works 100 of the Scientology remember it works 100 of the time when used 100 correctly and if it time when used 100 correctly and if it time when used 100 correctly and if it doesn't doesn't doesn't it could be because something's not it could be because something's not it could be because something's not being done right but it also could be being done right but it also could be being done right but it also could be because because because you're you're doing bad things that you're you're doing bad things that you're you're doing bad things that you're not telling people about like if you're not telling people about like if you're not telling people about like if you're committing present time over its you're committing present time over its you're committing present time over its crimes sins crimes sins crimes sins scientologists will be like that's part scientologists will be like that's part scientologists will be like that's part of the reason auditing isn't working on of the reason auditing isn't working on of the reason auditing isn't working on you is because you're committing you is because you're committing you is because you're committing criminal behavior that you're not being criminal behavior that you're not being criminal behavior that you're not being honest about so every Scientologist is honest about so every Scientologist is honest about so every Scientologist is sort of incentivized to to make auditing sort of incentivized to to make auditing sort of incentivized to to make auditing work on them okay now Lex this work is a work on them okay now Lex this work is a work on them okay now Lex this work is a little crazy on ot3 you learn about the little crazy on ot3 you learn about the little crazy on ot3 you learn about the OT the body things for the first time OT the body things for the first time OT the body things for the first time when you finish ot3 you attest to having when you finish ot3 you attest to having when you finish ot3 you attest to having achieved this state of having no more achieved this state of having no more achieved this state of having no more body things and then you start o24 body things and then you start o24 body things and then you start o24 and he's like psych you got more you got and he's like psych you got more you got and he's like psych you got more you got more BTS except those other BTS they had more BTS except those other BTS they had more BTS except those other BTS they had drug problems and that's why you drug problems and that's why you drug problems and that's why you couldn't find them the first time so couldn't find them the first time so couldn't find them the first time so we're gonna do a little something a we're gonna do a little something a we're gonna do a little something a little different here do something a little different here do something a little different here do something a little different there got to get rid of little different there got to get rid of little different there got to get rid of these BTS that were addicted to drugs these BTS that were addicted to drugs these BTS that were addicted to drugs okay then you finish ot4 and you're okay then you finish ot4 and you're okay then you finish ot4 and you're thinking man I hope you got the good thinking man I hope you got the good thinking man I hope you got the good stuff soon and then you get to ot5 and stuff soon and then you get to ot5 and stuff soon and then you get to ot5 and he's like psych you got more BTS you he's like psych you got more BTS you he's like psych you got more BTS you couldn't find these BTS because they couldn't find these BTS because they couldn't find these BTS because they were all bunched up together in clusters were all bunched up together in clusters were all bunched up together in clusters and first you have to break up the and first you have to break up the and first you have to break up the Clusters and then you can get rid of the Clusters and then you can get rid of the Clusters and then you can get rid of the BTS and you're like okay gotta do that BTS and you're like okay gotta do that BTS and you're like okay gotta do that and this was all El Ron Hubbard approved

and this was all El Ron Hubbard approved and this was all El Ron Hubbard approved yeah this is from L Ron Hubbard and then yeah this is from L Ron Hubbard and then yeah this is from L Ron Hubbard and then after you finish ot5 you get rid of all after you finish ot5 you get rid of all after you finish ot5 you get rid of all the BT clusters the BT clusters the BT clusters ot6 is just a training course to teach ot6 is just a training course to teach ot6 is just a training course to teach you how to auto ot7 well t7 is now more you how to auto ot7 well t7 is now more you how to auto ot7 well t7 is now more BTS except it's in in the environment BTS except it's in in the environment BTS except it's in in the environment and stuff you're trying to locate BTS and stuff you're trying to locate BTS and stuff you're trying to locate BTS you can find them on your body but it's you can find them on your body but it's you can find them on your body but it's just more BTS just more BTS just more BTS okay and then ot8 is remember we talked okay and then ot8 is remember we talked okay and then ot8 is remember we talked about in all these auditing sessions about in all these auditing sessions about in all these auditing sessions throughout the entire Scientology Bridge throughout the entire Scientology Bridge throughout the entire Scientology Bridge you have people who've run hundreds or you have people who've run hundreds or you have people who've run hundreds or thousands of past life whole track thousands of past life whole track thousands of past life whole track incidents these memories have become incidents these memories have become incidents these memories have become part of their self-identity of who they part of their self-identity of who they part of their self-identity of who they even think they are even think they are even think they are ot8 you go through all these past life ot8 you go through all these past life ot8 you go through all these past life recalls and essentially I'm recalls and essentially I'm recalls and essentially I'm oversimplifying this a little bit he oversimplifying this a little bit he oversimplifying this a little bit he goes psych all those past life memories goes psych all those past life memories goes psych all those past life memories weren't yours weren't yours weren't yours they were your BTS they were your BTS they were your BTS and he goes now that you've discovered and he goes now that you've discovered and he goes now that you've discovered this now you know who you are not this now you know who you are not this now you know who you are not and you are ready to find out who you and you are ready to find out who you and you are ready to find out who you really are really are really are well now you're supposed to find out who well now you're supposed to find out who well now you're supposed to find out who you really are on ot9 and 10. those you really are on ot9 and 10. those you really are on ot9 and 10. those don't exist don't exist don't exist do we know they don't exist yes in fact do we know they don't exist yes in fact do we know they don't exist yes in fact the whole story of how that became known the whole story of how that became known the whole story of how that became known is part of how David miscavige was able is part of how David miscavige was able is part of how David miscavige was able to get rid of Pat broker and take over to get rid of Pat broker and take over to get rid of Pat broker and take over power because it was believed that Pat power because it was believed that Pat power because it was believed that Pat broker had met was in possession of the broker had met was in possession of the broker had met was in possession of the upper unreleased OT levels and when upper unreleased OT levels and when upper unreleased OT levels and when miscavige determined that he was not and miscavige determined that he was not and miscavige determined that he was not and there weren't in fact any levels there weren't in fact any levels there weren't in fact any levels that was bad that was a bad day to be that was bad that was a bad day to be that was bad that was a bad day to be David miscavige because he now knew he David miscavige because he now knew he David miscavige because he now knew he had something on his hands he could not
-
had something on his hands he could not had something on his hands he could not get himself out of he's like so there's get himself out of he's like so there's get himself out of he's like so there's no Gap no Gap no Gap for Faith to seep in that there is for Faith to seep in that there is for Faith to seep in that there is um a level 9 and 10 11 and 12. oh the um a level 9 and 10 11 and 12. oh the um a level 9 and 10 11 and 12. oh the faith is there scientologists believe faith is there scientologists believe faith is there scientologists believe that these things do exist yeah that these things do exist yeah that these things do exist yeah Ron Hubbard didn't leave anything behind Ron Hubbard didn't leave anything behind Ron Hubbard didn't leave anything behind does David miscavige believe they exist does David miscavige believe they exist does David miscavige believe they exist oh no he knows he knows they don't exist oh no he knows he knows they don't exist oh no he knows he knows they don't exist no meaning when I say exist oh I don't no meaning when I say exist oh I don't no meaning when I say exist oh I don't mean do Advanced um uh levels of mean do Advanced um uh levels of mean do Advanced um uh levels of spiritual awareness exist when I said is spiritual awareness exist when I said is spiritual awareness exist when I said is it means did L Ron Hubbard write down it means did L Ron Hubbard write down it means did L Ron Hubbard write down what anyone is supposed to do that's what anyone is supposed to do that's what anyone is supposed to do that's called ot9 that doesn't exist so you're called ot9 that doesn't exist so you're called ot9 that doesn't exist so you're saying David miscarriage believes that saying David miscarriage believes that saying David miscarriage believes that they can be written down so they exist they can be written down so they exist they can be written down so they exist sort of in the platonic sense sort of in the platonic sense sort of in the platonic sense and El Ron Hubbard is the only one that and El Ron Hubbard is the only one that and El Ron Hubbard is the only one that can write it down so his face is really can write it down so his face is really can write it down so his face is really deep Oh you mean his faith that only El deep Oh you mean his faith that only El deep Oh you mean his faith that only El Ron Hubbard could have ever been the one Ron Hubbard could have ever been the one Ron Hubbard could have ever been the one to do it the full principles beliefs of to do it the full principles beliefs of to do it the full principles beliefs of uh Scientology he is uh Scientology he is uh Scientology he is do you have do you have do you have are you sure he believes that what are you sure he believes that what are you sure he believes that what exactly exactly exactly everything about scientology is that everything about scientology is that everything about scientology is that it's true to the best of my ability to it's true to the best of my ability to it's true to the best of my ability to know that I believe it to be true know that I believe it to be true know that I believe it to be true like I'll give you small even stupid like I'll give you small even stupid like I'll give you small even stupid examples like Mike renders told a story examples like Mike renders told a story examples like Mike renders told a story where at the international base where at the international base where at the international base miscavige actually had like a copper a miscavige actually had like a copper a miscavige actually had like a copper a Contraption built into the ground like Contraption built into the ground like Contraption built into the ground like grounded in the ground to come out where grounded in the ground to come out where grounded in the ground to come out where you could hold it and if something he you could hold it and if something he you could hold it and if something he sort of came up with to uh your BT it sort of came up with to uh your BT it sort of came up with to uh your BT it could ground your BTS could get your BTS
-
could ground your BTS could get your BTS could ground your BTS could get your BTS that if you're feeling overstimulated or that if you're feeling overstimulated or that if you're feeling overstimulated or something I'm probably slightly something I'm probably slightly something I'm probably slightly bastardizing this story but he came up bastardizing this story but he came up bastardizing this story but he came up with this as a great idea something to with this as a great idea something to with this as a great idea something to help someone destimulate if their BTS help someone destimulate if their BTS help someone destimulate if their BTS were getting a little too overactive were getting a little too overactive were getting a little too overactive used now so that that's a stupid story used now so that that's a stupid story used now so that that's a stupid story that's sort of like well it shows you he that's sort of like well it shows you he that's sort of like well it shows you he believes in the concept of BTS if he's believes in the concept of BTS if he's believes in the concept of BTS if he's creating little rods to get rid of them creating little rods to get rid of them creating little rods to get rid of them to ground them into the Earth well he to ground them into the Earth well he to ground them into the Earth well he could be Conjuring up the stories could be Conjuring up the stories could be Conjuring up the stories because uh he understands the power of because uh he understands the power of because uh he understands the power of myth and narrative and so on to uh to myth and narrative and so on to uh to myth and narrative and so on to uh to inspire sure to but like but also if we inspire sure to but like but also if we inspire sure to but like but also if we look at history both with um just an look at history both with um just an look at history both with um just an interesting thing because I've been interesting thing because I've been interesting thing because I've been reading a lot about Hitler and Stalin reading a lot about Hitler and Stalin reading a lot about Hitler and Stalin and it seems like both of them in and it seems like both of them in and it seems like both of them in different ways different ways different ways believed believed believed in uh the stories they were telling even in uh the stories they were telling even in uh the stories they were telling even when the stories this is the fascinating when the stories this is the fascinating when the stories this is the fascinating especially with Hitler and propaganda especially with Hitler and propaganda especially with Hitler and propaganda where they were literally conjured up at where they were literally conjured up at where they were literally conjured up at first but then you start to believe first but then you start to believe first but then you start to believe you're in propaganda you're in propaganda you're in propaganda uh with Stalin I think what he always uh with Stalin I think what he always uh with Stalin I think what he always believed is the bigger idea of pure believed is the bigger idea of pure believed is the bigger idea of pure communism and anything justifies the communism and anything justifies the communism and anything justifies the journey to communism because it will journey to communism because it will journey to communism because it will ultimately be good for Humanity to ultimately be good for Humanity to ultimately be good for Humanity to achieve the state of pure communism and achieve the state of pure communism and achieve the state of pure communism and then he's a god-like figure that can can then he's a god-like figure that can can then he's a god-like figure that can can bring uh can bring Humanity there but bring uh can bring Humanity there but bring uh can bring Humanity there but like well Hitler it's interesting like well Hitler it's interesting like well Hitler it's interesting because like this constant propaganda because like this constant propaganda because like this constant propaganda that he knows is not true that he knows is not true that he knows is not true a little bit there's got to be doubt but a little bit there's got to be doubt but a little bit there's got to be doubt but then he like that all doubt is removed then he like that all doubt is removed then he like that all doubt is removed very quickly yeah so I guess humans are very quickly yeah so I guess humans are very quickly yeah so I guess humans are just this is how they operate yeah the
-
just this is how they operate yeah the just this is how they operate yeah the conversation about David miscavige gets conversation about David miscavige gets conversation about David miscavige gets really interesting because I could give really interesting because I could give really interesting because I could give you a if I wanted to make the argument you a if I wanted to make the argument you a if I wanted to make the argument that he didn't believe I could give you that he didn't believe I could give you that he didn't believe I could give you a dozen examples to to make that a dozen examples to to make that a dozen examples to to make that argument I just happen argument I just happen argument I just happen to think that uh he believes in a to think that uh he believes in a to think that uh he believes in a different way whereas your average different way whereas your average different way whereas your average Scientologist believes that Alvernon Scientologist believes that Alvernon Scientologist believes that Alvernon Hubbard was practically infallible that Hubbard was practically infallible that Hubbard was practically infallible that he thought of everything in advance he he thought of everything in advance he he thought of everything in advance he took care of everything before he left took care of everything before he left took care of everything before he left and miscavige still believes in like the and miscavige still believes in like the and miscavige still believes in like the main structure of this thing but he's main structure of this thing but he's main structure of this thing but he's like oh shit it's falling to me to like oh shit it's falling to me to like oh shit it's falling to me to figure out how to actually make this figure out how to actually make this figure out how to actually make this thing happen I I think Miss gavage sees thing happen I I think Miss gavage sees thing happen I I think Miss gavage sees himself as someone who has to a certain himself as someone who has to a certain himself as someone who has to a certain degree had to go back and fix I'll run degree had to go back and fix I'll run degree had to go back and fix I'll run Hubbard's mistakes do you think he sees Hubbard's mistakes do you think he sees Hubbard's mistakes do you think he sees himself as doing good for the world I do himself as doing good for the world I do himself as doing good for the world I do what about for the people of Scientology what about for the people of Scientology what about for the people of Scientology I think in his own way he does I think in his own way he does I think in his own way he does I don't think he wakes up thinking he's I don't think he wakes up thinking he's I don't think he wakes up thinking he's um screwing scientologists um screwing scientologists um screwing scientologists I think he sees everyone else as I think he sees everyone else as I think he sees everyone else as screwing him screwing him screwing him I think he sees uh that he that it is I think he sees uh that he that it is I think he sees uh that he that it is his job to expand Scientology throughout his job to expand Scientology throughout his job to expand Scientology throughout the world and accomplish the aims of the world and accomplish the aims of the world and accomplish the aims of Scientology and he sees that it's not Scientology and he sees that it's not Scientology and he sees that it's not happening and he thinks if everyone else happening and he thinks if everyone else happening and he thinks if everyone else would just stop if everyone else would would just stop if everyone else would would just stop if everyone else would get out of his way and stop creating get out of his way and stop creating get out of his way and stop creating problems for him it would happen like uh problems for him it would happen like uh problems for him it would happen like uh I I do think he seems to sees himself as I I do think he seems to sees himself as I I do think he seems to sees himself as someone who is doing good I think that's someone who is doing good I think that's someone who is doing good I think that's fair to say fair to say fair to say I think the evidence shows that what I think the evidence shows that what I think the evidence shows that what about the effects of clearly power and about the effects of clearly power and about the effects of clearly power and influence that he's had and money yeah

influence that he's had and money yeah influence that he's had and money yeah without question that has served as a without question that has served as a without question that has served as a corrupting force it has without question corrupting force it has without question corrupting force it has without question have you seen sort of evidence of that have you seen sort of evidence of that have you seen sort of evidence of that that he's changed over time after the that he's changed over time after the that he's changed over time after the 1993 IRS exemption that Scientology won 1993 IRS exemption that Scientology won 1993 IRS exemption that Scientology won back back back um and this information comes from Mike um and this information comes from Mike um and this information comes from Mike rinder rinder rinder uh that's when David miscavige as soon uh that's when David miscavige as soon uh that's when David miscavige as soon as the checks on his power were removed as the checks on his power were removed as the checks on his power were removed miscavig's Behavior changed markedly miscavig's Behavior changed markedly miscavig's Behavior changed markedly can you tell the story of Shelley can you tell the story of Shelley can you tell the story of Shelley miscavige and the Mystery surrounding miscavige and the Mystery surrounding miscavige and the Mystery surrounding her I saw that there is quite a bit of her I saw that there is quite a bit of her I saw that there is quite a bit of mystery yeah mystery yeah mystery yeah so Shelley miscavich for many years held so Shelley miscavich for many years held so Shelley miscavich for many years held the job of her post in the sea the job of her post in the sea the job of her post in the sea organization was David miscavige's organization was David miscavige's organization was David miscavige's assistant that was her post it's assistant that was her post it's assistant that was her post it's important to truly understand important to truly understand important to truly understand that and what that means because that and what that means because that and what that means because um the fact that she was miscavige's um the fact that she was miscavige's um the fact that she was miscavige's wife wife wife is meaningless is meaningless is meaningless and this is something that's hard to for and this is something that's hard to for and this is something that's hard to for regular people in the regular world to regular people in the regular world to regular people in the regular world to truly grasp how meaningless it is in truly grasp how meaningless it is in truly grasp how meaningless it is in Scientology for sea org members who are Scientology for sea org members who are Scientology for sea org members who are spouses it means nothing spouses it means nothing spouses it means nothing Your Role matters more in within seaworg Your Role matters more in within seaworg Your Role matters more in within seaworg your role is the only thing that matters your role is the only thing that matters your role is the only thing that matters so let's say let's say if Shelley was so let's say let's say if Shelley was so let's say let's say if Shelley was married to Dave but she worked in a married to Dave but she worked in a married to Dave but she worked in a different organization different organization different organization she would never be seen with him she would never be seen with him she would never be seen with him ever publicly ever wouldn't travel with ever publicly ever wouldn't travel with ever publicly ever wouldn't travel with him wouldn't go to events with him him wouldn't go to events with him him wouldn't go to events with him nothing nothing nothing sometime around 2006 2007 and I'm very sometime around 2006 2007 and I'm very sometime around 2006 2007 and I'm very oversimplifying this okay Shelley oversimplifying this okay Shelley oversimplifying this okay Shelley basically pissed off Dave to the point basically pissed off Dave to the point basically pissed off Dave to the point where he's like okay I'm done with you

leak they're true believers they see leak they're true believers they see they see like there's a there's sort of they see like there's a there's sort of they see like there's a there's sort of a conspiracy theory that runs right a conspiracy theory that runs right a conspiracy theory that runs right through all of Scientology through all of Scientology through all of Scientology which is that Scientology which is that Scientology which is that Scientology um represents like an existential threat um represents like an existential threat um represents like an existential threat to the powers that really control that to the powers that really control that to the powers that really control that really control this planet do they have really control this planet do they have really control this planet do they have a face to the powers that really control a face to the powers that really control a face to the powers that really control do they have names to it like who's do they have names to it like who's do they have names to it like who's controlling it's Z news homies well I'm controlling it's Z news homies well I'm controlling it's Z news homies well I'm sure that's not what they say Xeno sure that's not what they say Xeno sure that's not what they say Xeno embodied it's actually sort of a embodied it's actually sort of a embodied it's actually sort of a multi-faceted multi-faceted multi-faceted um conspiracy and that on the one hand um conspiracy and that on the one hand um conspiracy and that on the one hand I'll Ron Hubbard points his fingers at I'll Ron Hubbard points his fingers at I'll Ron Hubbard points his fingers at like the international bankers like the international bankers like the international bankers okay which has shades of anti-Semitism okay which has shades of anti-Semitism okay which has shades of anti-Semitism too and then the IRS system is going to too and then the IRS system is going to too and then the IRS system is going to be quickly baked in I don't know the IRS be quickly baked in I don't know the IRS be quickly baked in I don't know the IRS now the the IRS is so low on the totem now the the IRS is so low on the totem now the the IRS is so low on the totem pole oh as far as the I mean the pole oh as far as the I mean the pole oh as far as the I mean the international Bankers he would say runs international Bankers he would say runs international Bankers he would say runs everything got it but they but use that everything got it but they but use that everything got it but they but use that that these Bankers um also use big that these Bankers um also use big that these Bankers um also use big Pharma and big psych to control the Pharma and big psych to control the Pharma and big psych to control the population and Scientology is famously population and Scientology is famously population and Scientology is famously against against against um Pharma and psych and so this is sort um Pharma and psych and so this is sort um Pharma and psych and so this is sort of how L Ron Hubbard characterizes like of how L Ron Hubbard characterizes like of how L Ron Hubbard characterizes like this big war between Scientology that's this big war between Scientology that's this big war between Scientology that's trying to set everyone free and big trying to set everyone free and big trying to set everyone free and big Pharma and big psych that's trying to Pharma and big psych that's trying to Pharma and big psych that's trying to enslave everyone on the planet yeah enslave everyone on the planet yeah enslave everyone on the planet yeah controlling their mind controlling their controlling their mind controlling their controlling their mind controlling their body through chemicals and and who body through chemicals and and who body through chemicals and and who controls the Press controls the Press controls the Press big Pharma and big psych so there's a big Pharma and big psych so there's a big Pharma and big psych so there's a lot of correlation to other kinds of lot of correlation to other kinds of lot of correlation to other kinds of conspiracy theories yeah conspiracy theories yeah conspiracy theories yeah um oh that's fascinating but you asked um oh that's fascinating but you asked um oh that's fascinating but you asked the question the question the question um where uh why would all these people

that it just pushed them Beyond that it just pushed them Beyond uh the point of what they're willing to uh the point of what they're willing to uh the point of what they're willing to experience very I've never I'm not sure experience very I've never I'm not sure experience very I've never I'm not sure I've really ever heard a story of I've really ever heard a story of I've really ever heard a story of someone going yeah I just woke up you someone going yeah I just woke up you someone going yeah I just woke up you know I just gradually realized it was know I just gradually realized it was know I just gradually realized it was all Bs and drifted away all Bs and drifted away all Bs and drifted away you know it's usually like no I really you know it's usually like no I really you know it's usually like no I really believed and they treated me so horribly believed and they treated me so horribly believed and they treated me so horribly I almost had no choice I almost had no choice I almost had no choice but to leave and then the stories get but to leave and then the stories get but to leave and then the stories get pretty crazy pretty crazy pretty crazy meaning you don't care what's true meaning you don't care what's true meaning you don't care what's true anymore you just have to leave yeah with anymore you just have to leave yeah with anymore you just have to leave yeah with this the uh the unpleasant feeling the this the uh the unpleasant feeling the this the uh the unpleasant feeling the suffering yeah and this sort of goes suffering yeah and this sort of goes suffering yeah and this sort of goes back to back to back to um the conversation we're having about um the conversation we're having about um the conversation we're having about like well does miscavige really believe like well does miscavige really believe like well does miscavige really believe and I said I could make an argument for and I said I could make an argument for and I said I could make an argument for the fact that he doesn't right because I the fact that he doesn't right because I the fact that he doesn't right because I go it wouldn't be that hard to change go it wouldn't be that hard to change go it wouldn't be that hard to change the way Scientology treats people just a the way Scientology treats people just a the way Scientology treats people just a little bit and you'd probably stop little bit and you'd probably stop little bit and you'd probably stop losing anyone because scientologists losing anyone because scientologists losing anyone because scientologists already believed to such a strong degree already believed to such a strong degree already believed to such a strong degree you have to be pretty freaking horrible you have to be pretty freaking horrible you have to be pretty freaking horrible to people to make them leave and that's to people to make them leave and that's to people to make them leave and that's where you go well does miscavich even where you go well does miscavich even where you go well does miscavich even want Scientology to expand because if he want Scientology to expand because if he want Scientology to expand because if he was really being clever about it it was really being clever about it it was really being clever about it it seems like he could at least stop the seems like he could at least stop the seems like he could at least stop the bleeding and yet he doesn't so that's bleeding and yet he doesn't so that's bleeding and yet he doesn't so that's where you make the argument well if he where you make the argument well if he where you make the argument well if he doesn't then he must not want to doesn't then he must not want to doesn't then he must not want to so his mind is corrupted to the point so his mind is corrupted to the point so his mind is corrupted to the point where he's not able to actually be a where he's not able to actually be a where he's not able to actually be a good businessman essentially it seems good businessman essentially it seems good businessman essentially it seems that way the numbers of scientologists have been the numbers of scientologists have been going down and down and down since the going down and down and down since the going down and down and down since the early 90s is there a good I mean it's early 90s is there a good I mean it's early 90s is there a good I mean it's very difficult to get to this number but very difficult to get to this number but very difficult to get to this number but is there a good estimate of what the is there a good estimate of what the is there a good estimate of what the current number of scientologists are

okay so I'll try to get I'll try to do okay so I'll try to get I'll try to do it you don't seem like a man who's it you don't seem like a man who's it you don't seem like a man who's afraid of hard things okay afraid of hard things okay afraid of hard things okay so she's like so she's like so she's like no no no so then they go to her parents and they say you've got to disconnect and they say you've got to disconnect from your daughter from your daughter from your daughter and your three granddaughters and your three granddaughters and your three granddaughters but you're gonna get kicked out but they have three other kids who are but they have three other kids who are scientologists who have spouses who are scientologists who have spouses who are scientologists who have spouses who are scientologists who have grandkids scientologists who have grandkids scientologists who have grandkids so I feel like so I feel like so I feel like up until that point everybody was sort up until that point everybody was sort up until that point everybody was sort of making a decision for themselves and of making a decision for themselves and of making a decision for themselves and what would be best for themselves what would be best for themselves what would be best for themselves until they get to her parents until they get to her parents until they get to her parents and then they're like which grandkids and then they're like which grandkids and then they're like which grandkids are we going to lose are we going to lose are we going to lose okay at the part where they were trying okay at the part where they were trying okay at the part where they were trying to get me to disconnect from my mom to get me to disconnect from my mom to get me to disconnect from my mom there were hours that I spent talking to there were hours that I spent talking to there were hours that I spent talking to them going you know guys them going you know guys them going you know guys there's another way there's another way there's another way it doesn't have to go this way it doesn't have to go this way it doesn't have to go this way there's another way that ends well for there's another way that ends well for there's another way that ends well for all of us all of us all of us and that wasn't even considered and that wasn't even considered and that wasn't even considered and I go like and I go like and I go like they created this monster they created this monster they created this monster and that's a fact and that's a fact and that's a fact and that's why I take joy in it and that's why I take joy in it and that's why I take joy in it when people when people ask me is when people when people ask me is when people when people ask me is Scientology a destructive cult I don't Scientology a destructive cult I don't Scientology a destructive cult I don't even have to get into all the academic even have to get into all the academic even have to get into all the academic discussions of what's a religion and discussions of what's a religion and discussions of what's a religion and what's a cult and what's the difference what's a cult and what's the difference what's a cult and what's the difference I go as long as they destroy families I go as long as they destroy families I go as long as they destroy families like that they're occult like that they're occult like that they're occult so they cut people off deliberately one
-
so they cut people off deliberately one so they cut people off deliberately one by one and it doesn't have to be that way right and it doesn't have to be that way right and why is it that way and why is it that way and why is it that way I mean it started with L Ron Hubbard I mean it started with L Ron Hubbard I mean it started with L Ron Hubbard laying out a policy framework a policy laying out a policy framework a policy laying out a policy framework a policy structure that structure that structure that if interpreted and applied in the worst if interpreted and applied in the worst if interpreted and applied in the worst possible way with the worst possible possible way with the worst possible possible way with the worst possible judgment can be abused in that way I judgment can be abused in that way I judgment can be abused in that way I would make the argument would make the argument would make the argument that if an anti-broker had taken over that if an anti-broker had taken over that if an anti-broker had taken over that Scientology policy does have enough that Scientology policy does have enough that Scientology policy does have enough little little little um caveats baked into it that even the um caveats baked into it that even the um caveats baked into it that even the policies about disconnection could be policies about disconnection could be policies about disconnection could be interpreted and implemented in a interpreted and implemented in a interpreted and implemented in a non-destructive way non-destructive way non-destructive way there is room for judgment and there is room for judgment and there is room for judgment and discretion discretion discretion and miscavige has just created the worst and miscavige has just created the worst and miscavige has just created the worst possible version of Scientology and possible version of Scientology and possible version of Scientology and that's that's where you sort of get that that's that's where you sort of get that that's that's where you sort of get that argument of does he even want argument of does he even want argument of does he even want scientologies to succeed because he scientologies to succeed because he scientologies to succeed because he seems to be hell-bent seems to be hell-bent seems to be hell-bent on making sure that he doesn't yeah and and I don't want to see him yeah and and I don't want to see him make it succeed but it does bring that make it succeed but it does bring that make it succeed but it does bring that question up of like what are his question up of like what are his question up of like what are his motivations motivations motivations can he not see that he's destroying the can he not see that he's destroying the can he not see that he's destroying the thing he's supposed to be expanding thing he's supposed to be expanding thing he's supposed to be expanding that's also you know there's ways to that's also you know there's ways to that's also you know there's ways to measure cost measure cost measure cost and that would probably be the most and that would probably be the most and that would probably be the most costly aspect of Scientology is the costly aspect of Scientology is the costly aspect of Scientology is the suffering associated with the separating suffering associated with the separating suffering associated with the separating of families yeah I mean that's actually
-
of families yeah I mean that's actually of families yeah I mean that's actually just puts make it's a very concrete what just puts make it's a very concrete what just puts make it's a very concrete what we value in human life we value in human life we value in human life is the connection to our loved ones like is the connection to our loved ones like is the connection to our loved ones like everything else doesn't matter like everything else doesn't matter like everything else doesn't matter like getting 50 bucks a week getting 50 bucks a week getting 50 bucks a week uh uh uh like that like uh getting money stolen like that like uh getting money stolen like that like uh getting money stolen from you getting the truth stolen from from you getting the truth stolen from from you getting the truth stolen from you none of that compares you none of that compares you none of that compares uh you can even frame that as the good uh you can even frame that as the good uh you can even frame that as the good there could be a lot of positives there could be a lot of positives there could be a lot of positives whatever in the tribe but separating whatever in the tribe but separating whatever in the tribe but separating families separating loved ones that's families separating loved ones that's families separating loved ones that's the destructive thing the destructive thing the destructive thing so no hate though no I genuinely don't so no hate though no I genuinely don't so no hate though no I genuinely don't hate them hate them hate them do you forgive them 100 do you forgive them 100 do you forgive them 100 there's no one I look at in Scientology there's no one I look at in Scientology there's no one I look at in Scientology that I go how dare you if I was in their that I go how dare you if I was in their that I go how dare you if I was in their shoes shoes shoes having to you know operate under David having to you know operate under David having to you know operate under David miscavigest orders I would have done the miscavigest orders I would have done the miscavigest orders I would have done the same thing and I would have loved it same thing and I would have loved it same thing and I would have loved it truthfully truthfully truthfully I don't blame any of them I mean I take I don't blame any of them I mean I take I don't blame any of them I mean I take the opposite approach if they knew what the opposite approach if they knew what the opposite approach if they knew what I knew they'd be doing what I'm doing I knew they'd be doing what I'm doing I knew they'd be doing what I'm doing yeah if they knew what I knew and yeah if they knew what I knew and yeah if they knew what I knew and believed it they'd be doing what I'm believed it they'd be doing what I'm believed it they'd be doing what I'm doing they're not dumb it's not it's not doing they're not dumb it's not it's not doing they're not dumb it's not it's not it's not dumb people in Scientology it's not dumb people in Scientology it's not dumb people in Scientology they're ambitious they're dreamers they they're ambitious they're dreamers they they're ambitious they're dreamers they got hope they're driven all that kind of got hope they're driven all that kind of got hope they're driven all that kind of stuff yeah stuff yeah stuff yeah and it's one of the reasons I like and it's one of the reasons I like and it's one of the reasons I like putting up content on my channel so they putting up content on my channel so they putting up content on my channel so they can see hey like if you're a can see hey like if you're a can see hey like if you're a Scientologist you look at that and you Scientologist you look at that and you Scientologist you look at that and you go hey he seems like he's doing well go hey he seems like he's doing well go hey he seems like he's doing well he's kind of he's happy he's a positive he's kind of he's happy he's a positive he's kind of he's happy he's a positive guy he's a good communicator he knows guy he's a good communicator he knows guy he's a good communicator he knows what he's talking about he's not lying what he's talking about he's not lying what he's talking about he's not lying he's not exaggerating I don't exaggerate
-
he's not exaggerating I don't exaggerate he's not exaggerating I don't exaggerate anything on my channel I don't make up anything on my channel I don't make up anything on my channel I don't make up anything anything anything and this is actually comes from an and this is actually comes from an and this is actually comes from an experience I had from 1998 to 2000 I was experience I had from 1998 to 2000 I was experience I had from 1998 to 2000 I was living in La I started at a two-year living in La I started at a two-year living in La I started at a two-year period in my life where I actually had period in my life where I actually had period in my life where I actually had almost no contact with Scientology almost no contact with Scientology almost no contact with Scientology and during that time I found my way onto and during that time I found my way onto and during that time I found my way onto the internet and there was a website it the internet and there was a website it the internet and there was a website it might have been esmb ex-scientology might have been esmb ex-scientology might have been esmb ex-scientology message but whatever it was it was at message but whatever it was it was at message but whatever it was it was at that time the main source of critical that time the main source of critical that time the main source of critical information about scientology on the information about scientology on the information about scientology on the internet and I looked at it I remember I internet and I looked at it I remember I internet and I looked at it I remember I was still a True Believer was still a True Believer was still a True Believer and I looked at this and it was so and I looked at this and it was so and I looked at this and it was so uh offensive uh offensive uh offensive um insulting uh hyperbolic exaggerated I um insulting uh hyperbolic exaggerated I um insulting uh hyperbolic exaggerated I was like oh just a bunch of bullshit was like oh just a bunch of bullshit was like oh just a bunch of bullshit I was in Scientology for 16 more years I was in Scientology for 16 more years I was in Scientology for 16 more years if if if what I had seen on the internet about what I had seen on the internet about what I had seen on the internet about critical of Scientology if what I had critical of Scientology if what I had critical of Scientology if what I had seen when I had seen it was something seen when I had seen it was something seen when I had seen it was something that actually resonated with me that actually resonated with me that actually resonated with me that I was like oh that I was like oh that I was like oh that I believed was true that's that I believed was true that's that I believed was true that's incredible I would have gotten out of incredible I would have gotten out of incredible I would have gotten out of Scientology 16 years earlier Scientology 16 years earlier Scientology 16 years earlier so I was like so I was like so I was like how can I help create an experience on how can I help create an experience on how can I help create an experience on the internet that if a Scientologist the internet that if a Scientologist the internet that if a Scientologist stumbles upon it it will resonate with stumbles upon it it will resonate with stumbles upon it it will resonate with them instead of repelling them and that them instead of repelling them and that them instead of repelling them and that is exactly what I have set out to do and is exactly what I have set out to do and is exactly what I have set out to do and what I believe I've accomplished there's what I believe I've accomplished there's what I believe I've accomplished there's the content the message but also just the content the message but also just the content the message but also just showing that you can be happy outside of showing that you can be happy outside of showing that you can be happy outside of Scientology exactly you can have a Scientology exactly you can have a Scientology exactly you can have a fulfilling life you can be a good man fulfilling life you can be a good man fulfilling life you can be a good man yeah all that
-
yeah all that yeah all that what benefit do you think Tom Cruise what benefit do you think Tom Cruise what benefit do you think Tom Cruise gets from Scientology so why is he still gets from Scientology so why is he still gets from Scientology so why is he still in Scientology he genuinely loves it and in Scientology he genuinely loves it and in Scientology he genuinely loves it and also miscavige does there's one also miscavige does there's one also miscavige does there's one celebrity who does have the most unique celebrity who does have the most unique celebrity who does have the most unique experience in Scientology and that is experience in Scientology and that is experience in Scientology and that is Tom Tom Tom Scientology hires all of Tom's staff Scientology hires all of Tom's staff Scientology hires all of Tom's staff there are no all of Tom's staff are there are no all of Tom's staff are there are no all of Tom's staff are subject to interrogations by Scientology subject to interrogations by Scientology subject to interrogations by Scientology not only in the hiring process but not only in the hiring process but not only in the hiring process but during the employment like David during the employment like David during the employment like David miscavich and Scientology runs Tom miscavich and Scientology runs Tom miscavich and Scientology runs Tom Cruise's life and his production company Cruise's life and his production company Cruise's life and his production company and his household staff do you imagine and his household staff do you imagine and his household staff do you imagine there's some personal connection there there's some personal connection there there's some personal connection there where there's just they like each other where there's just they like each other where there's just they like each other a lot best friends a lot best friends a lot best friends I mean it's them against the world yeah I mean it's them against the world yeah I mean it's them against the world yeah is how they see it I think it's pretty is how they see it I think it's pretty is how they see it I think it's pretty easy to see how that works but between easy to see how that works but between easy to see how that works but between the two of them I think this idea of the two of them I think this idea of the two of them I think this idea of them against the world us against the them against the world us against the them against the world us against the world is a really power powerful world is a really power powerful world is a really power powerful intimate like I kind of see like intimate like I kind of see like intimate like I kind of see like friendships and relationships that way friendships and relationships that way friendships and relationships that way that I'm not in a dark sense but it's that I'm not in a dark sense but it's that I'm not in a dark sense but it's like like like the world is full of Cruelty and the world is full of Cruelty and the world is full of Cruelty and absurdity and unfairness and so on it's absurdity and unfairness and so on it's absurdity and unfairness and so on it's nice to huddle together like the nice to huddle together like the nice to huddle together like the Penguins in March of the book against Penguins in March of the book against Penguins in March of the book against the cold 100 they're just like and so the cold 100 they're just like and so the cold 100 they're just like and so especially with the ideology of uh of of especially with the ideology of uh of of especially with the ideology of uh of of Scientology it uh this idea that you can Scientology it uh this idea that you can Scientology it uh this idea that you can you can be anything you can essentially you can be anything you can essentially you can be anything you can essentially I mean you you can manifest it I mean you you can manifest it I mean you you can manifest it essentially through like believing it essentially through like believing it essentially through like believing it um I mean you don't really put into um I mean you don't really put into um I mean you don't really put into those words but believing that you're

those words but believing that you're those words but believing that you're you're a God you're a God you're a God this is a really like inspiring positive this is a really like inspiring positive this is a really like inspiring positive thing to think if they could figure out thing to think if they could figure out thing to think if they could figure out how to do all that without destroying how to do all that without destroying how to do all that without destroying families and bankrupting its members families and bankrupting its members families and bankrupting its members they might actually have a future that's they might actually have a future that's they might actually have a future that's why like it's funny because sometimes I why like it's funny because sometimes I why like it's funny because sometimes I feel like it's like like I'm rooting for feel like it's like like I'm rooting for feel like it's like like I'm rooting for them to like succeed and do it right and them to like succeed and do it right and them to like succeed and do it right and I'm not but it's an interesting academic I'm not but it's an interesting academic I'm not but it's an interesting academic discussion to have of like discussion to have of like discussion to have of like we can all see how much people will we can all see how much people will we can all see how much people will sacrifice in the names of belief and sacrifice in the names of belief and sacrifice in the names of belief and religion yeah we can see how much religion yeah we can see how much religion yeah we can see how much scientologists sacrifice based on what scientologists sacrifice based on what scientologists sacrifice based on what they already believe if you would just start treating people if you would just start treating people less horribly you know what I'm saying less horribly you know what I'm saying less horribly you know what I'm saying it might actually have a future but it might actually have a future but it might actually have a future but that's what I wanted to it seems like that's what I wanted to it seems like that's what I wanted to it seems like this dark lesson of human nature that this dark lesson of human nature that this dark lesson of human nature that they like there's something about you they like there's something about you they like there's something about you know to use the word Cults that you just know to use the word Cults that you just know to use the word Cults that you just stop seeing reality for what it is stop seeing reality for what it is stop seeing reality for what it is there's a lot of things that could make there's a lot of things that could make there's a lot of things that could make this a better organization that's this a better organization that's this a better organization that's actually helping people flourish and actually helping people flourish and actually helping people flourish and um um um and and be a little bit more like and and be a little bit more like and and be a little bit more like uh loose about membership right not uh loose about membership right not uh loose about membership right not dividing families not causing suffering dividing families not causing suffering dividing families not causing suffering not causing Financial harm but actually not causing Financial harm but actually not causing Financial harm but actually inspiring people and helping people but inspiring people and helping people but inspiring people and helping people but then maybe and it fundamentally changes then maybe and it fundamentally changes then maybe and it fundamentally changes of what the organization is and maybe of what the organization is and maybe of what the organization is and maybe that means somebody like David miscavige that means somebody like David miscavige that means somebody like David miscavige loses power too which might be very loses power too which might be very loses power too which might be very difficult or people that are close to difficult or people that are close to difficult or people that are close to him lose power and people hold on to him lose power and people hold on to him lose power and people hold on to power so yeah whatever the human forces power so yeah whatever the human forces power so yeah whatever the human forces here it seems to

interesting that you said that like interesting that you said that like the Scientology has pretty much lost the the Scientology has pretty much lost the the Scientology has pretty much lost the battle with the internet oh yeah battle with the internet oh yeah battle with the internet oh yeah um which is kind of inspiring that it's um which is kind of inspiring that it's um which is kind of inspiring that it's hard to defeat the internet hard to defeat the internet hard to defeat the internet but then there's like Bots there but then there's like Bots there but then there's like Bots there I think if you're sophisticated I'm not I think if you're sophisticated I'm not I think if you're sophisticated I'm not sure that's true but if you're not it's sure that's true but if you're not it's sure that's true but if you're not it's kind of remarkable they haven't been kind of remarkable they haven't been kind of remarkable they haven't been able to capitalize on these bot armies able to capitalize on these bot armies able to capitalize on these bot armies because there's one thing that they have because there's one thing that they have because there's one thing that they have it's a lot of tax-free money that they it's a lot of tax-free money that they it's a lot of tax-free money that they got nothing else better to do it yeah got nothing else better to do it yeah got nothing else better to do it yeah right so you can invest you know they right so you can invest you know they right so you can invest you know they just they should give you a call like just they should give you a call like just they should give you a call like they just don't have the right people they just don't have the right people they just don't have the right people apparently apparently apparently uh but that said how do they wield uh uh but that said how do they wield uh uh but that said how do they wield uh influence with government agencies with influence with government agencies with influence with government agencies with you've talked about the the local police you've talked about the the local police you've talked about the the local police yeah uh enforcement uh also federal yeah uh enforcement uh also federal yeah uh enforcement uh also federal agencies anything that is the one way agencies anything that is the one way agencies anything that is the one way they effectively put their money to use they effectively put their money to use they effectively put their money to use is lobbyists and attorneys is lobbyists and attorneys is lobbyists and attorneys um you know judges very rarely have they um you know judges very rarely have they um you know judges very rarely have they ever been able just to get a politician ever been able just to get a politician ever been able just to get a politician on their side it's the behind the scenes on their side it's the behind the scenes on their side it's the behind the scenes people you know Greta Van susteren's a people you know Greta Van susteren's a people you know Greta Van susteren's a very high level long-term Scientologist very high level long-term Scientologist very high level long-term Scientologist and her husband I always get it wrong and her husband I always get it wrong and her husband I always get it wrong it's either Jim Cole or John Cole I it's either Jim Cole or John Cole I it's either Jim Cole or John Cole I always get it wrong uh he's a very always get it wrong uh he's a very always get it wrong uh he's a very powerful attorney who has a lot uh powerful attorney who has a lot uh powerful attorney who has a lot uh wields a lot of influence behind the wields a lot of influence behind the wields a lot of influence behind the scenes scenes scenes and that's just one example like the and that's just one example like the and that's just one example like the reason why that's an interesting example reason why that's an interesting example reason why that's an interesting example is because he's actually a Scientologist is because he's actually a Scientologist is because he's actually a Scientologist and he travels in those circles and he travels in those circles and he travels in those circles Scientology though it's money goes to Scientology though it's money goes to Scientology though it's money goes to good use by hiring non-scientologists good use by hiring non-scientologists good use by hiring non-scientologists retired judges attorneys lobbyists it retired judges attorneys lobbyists it retired judges attorneys lobbyists it really is how they get almost anything really is how they get almost anything really is how they get almost anything done like miscavige himself is not done like miscavige himself is not done like miscavige himself is not hobnob and glad hand and shaking hands hobnob and glad hand and shaking hands hobnob and glad hand and shaking hands and meeting these folks it's the

because yeah I it's not like oh they because yeah I it's not like oh they could destroy me but I don't care no could destroy me but I don't care no could destroy me but I don't care no there's not a damn thing they can do to there's not a damn thing they can do to there's not a damn thing they can do to me and it's one of that's one of the me and it's one of that's one of the me and it's one of that's one of the reasons I continue to put out content reasons I continue to put out content reasons I continue to put out content every day to just basically go hey still every day to just basically go hey still every day to just basically go hey still here here here I dare you to try to do something about I dare you to try to do something about I dare you to try to do something about it but you can't and hope that that also it but you can't and hope that that also it but you can't and hope that that also serves as kind of an example for other serves as kind of an example for other serves as kind of an example for other people to go if this Schmo can do it people to go if this Schmo can do it people to go if this Schmo can do it yeah and they can't do anything else to yeah and they can't do anything else to yeah and they can't do anything else to him then maybe I can do it too because I him then maybe I can do it too because I him then maybe I can do it too because I would love it I would love there for be would love it I would love there for be would love it I would love there for be a 20 channels where former a 20 channels where former a 20 channels where former scientologists talk about their scientologists talk about their scientologists talk about their experience I mean that is bravery experience I mean that is bravery experience I mean that is bravery because what happens is fear seeps in because what happens is fear seeps in because what happens is fear seeps in even if it's not grounded in reality but even if it's not grounded in reality but even if it's not grounded in reality but at the same time like uh you know at the same time like uh you know at the same time like uh you know um my grandfather who uh fought in in um my grandfather who uh fought in in um my grandfather who uh fought in in World War II I mean the story is I mean World War II I mean the story is I mean World War II I mean the story is I mean he was very convinced and sure most of he was very convinced and sure most of he was very convinced and sure most of the people he fought alongside with died the people he fought alongside with died the people he fought alongside with died he was a machine gunner but he believed he was a machine gunner but he believed he was a machine gunner but he believed that bullets can't hit him right that's that bullets can't hit him right that's that bullets can't hit him right that's what he said well you know sir he was what he said well you know sir he was what he said well you know sir he was right right right right because he survived so there's right because he survived so there's right because he survived so there's some sense like you're never biased that some sense like you're never biased that some sense like you're never biased that he's like just like yours like I'm not he's like just like yours like I'm not he's like just like yours like I'm not brave I just the boys can't hit me brave I just the boys can't hit me brave I just the boys can't hit me I mean there's a dark kind of Truth to I mean there's a dark kind of Truth to I mean there's a dark kind of Truth to that there's some you know it's like uh that there's some you know it's like uh that there's some you know it's like uh it's it's a feedback loop where if you it's it's a feedback loop where if you it's it's a feedback loop where if you have the confidence and you push on have the confidence and you push on have the confidence and you push on forward and you're brave in that way to forward and you're brave in that way to forward and you're brave in that way to not let fear see pen and affect you it not let fear see pen and affect you it not let fear see pen and affect you it actually gives you less things to be actually gives you less things to be actually gives you less things to be scared about and yeah I mean but that scared about and yeah I mean but that scared about and yeah I mean but that initial few steps might be uh for people

initial few steps might be uh for people initial few steps might be uh for people it might be a very difficult stuff to it might be a very difficult stuff to it might be a very difficult stuff to take to talk about publicly the fear was take to talk about publicly the fear was take to talk about publicly the fear was knowing how the family was going to be knowing how the family was going to be knowing how the family was going to be destroyed and trying to prevent that I destroyed and trying to prevent that I destroyed and trying to prevent that I was terrified of that happening was terrified of that happening was terrified of that happening but it happened but it happened but it happened there's nothing left to be afraid of and there's nothing left to be afraid of and there's nothing left to be afraid of and that's kind of the thing like they that's kind of the thing like they that's kind of the thing like they created this Beast and the same is true created this Beast and the same is true created this Beast and the same is true for Mark Headley the same is true from for Mark Headley the same is true from for Mark Headley the same is true from Mike render I I said they've essentially Mike render I I said they've essentially Mike render I I said they've essentially created a Scientology proof virus created a Scientology proof virus created a Scientology proof virus Scientology resistant strain by throwing Scientology resistant strain by throwing Scientology resistant strain by throwing everything they have at us for so many everything they have at us for so many everything they have at us for so many years years years they have just through natural selection they have just through natural selection they have just through natural selection created people who just do not give a created people who just do not give a created people who just do not give a damn about anything they could or would damn about anything they could or would damn about anything they could or would do and maybe there is something a little do and maybe there is something a little do and maybe there is something a little wrong with me because when I get a phone wrong with me because when I get a phone wrong with me because when I get a phone call from someone like I just got this call from someone like I just got this call from someone like I just got this phone call about you and it's clear that phone call about you and it's clear that phone call about you and it's clear that it's Scientology pis doing work behind it's Scientology pis doing work behind it's Scientology pis doing work behind the scenes I get really excited the scenes I get really excited the scenes I get really excited I get really excited I don't get nervous I get really excited I don't get nervous I get really excited I don't get nervous I'm like oh no it's happening like oh I'm like oh no it's happening like oh I'm like oh no it's happening like oh yeah this is going to be exciting I'm yeah this is going to be exciting I'm yeah this is going to be exciting I'm like okay because everything they try to like okay because everything they try to like okay because everything they try to do to me do to me do to me I'm gonna figure out how to reflect it I'm gonna figure out how to reflect it I'm gonna figure out how to reflect it back on them and make them look back on them and make them look back on them and make them look ridiculous and that pales in comparison ridiculous and that pales in comparison ridiculous and that pales in comparison to the separating from family exactly to the separating from family exactly to the separating from family exactly what is there is there parts of your what is there is there parts of your what is there is there parts of your family that you've lost because of family that you've lost because of family that you've lost because of Scientology just yes just yes if you most most of my episode

Summary
The main theme is a critical overview of Scientology, focusing on its organizational structure and practices rather than its core spiritual beliefs. Key subjects include L. Ron Hubbard, the concepts of thetans and auditing, and the experiences of former members like Aaron Smith Levin. The takeaway is that Scientology's problematic nature lies in its all-encompassing organization and demanded practices, which extract from individuals and control their lives, making it difficult to separate the good from the bad within the system.
