I don't run into Scientologists much anymore, but I did the other day. The person has been deadfiled but is still a true believer.
She told me that the auditing Tech is wonderful but it is SPs that have made the Church what it is.
I know that a lot of exes feel that way--exes that are true believers or were when they left.
But I told this woman, a Scientologist of at least 25 years that I see it the other way around.
I said the way the Church is itself a product of the auditing Tech. Not squirrel tech, but standard tech.
I told her that when I got in there were only a few OTs.
Over time their were more and more.
One thing I noticed was that OTs were very gullible people. Scientologists, in general, are gullible too. But it seems to me that the higher a person goes up the Bridge the more gullible they get.
I believe this is from the fact that Scientology, while giving them subjective wins, in fact, it is making them more and more solipsistic. That is, they tend to believe their thoughts as the real world and the real way things are. What is true for them is true.
Also, the training, starting with TRs makes a person loss empathy with others.
Add to all this the fact that these things are reinforced by the group thinking.
I also noticed that the longer a true believer is away from the reinforced thinking of the group they tend to start believing less in the tech and especially their wins.
But there are some that hang on to the gullibility and lack of empathy after they leave Scientology although they start to believe less in the tech. They still have that solipsistic mindset.
I guess the point I wanted to get across to this poor soul was that what's glue for you is glue for you.
Some of it still sticks.
