Interesting thread.
Let's see, what
am I doing now after having left Scientology?
Gotta first go back to why I left. It was a long, slow fuse that had been lit the moment I entered Scientology as a naive teenager and exploded decades later as an adult on the Bridge to Operating Thetan.
I discovered, to my surprise, that there was no Operating Thetan. Only humans. And some frightfully bossy ones at that inside Scientology.
When the tech attempting to make an OT out of a human fails utterly (which it does 100% of the time) the humans in charge of Scientology do not just sit about idly, doing nothing about it. They get very, very industrious with 3 surefire tech remedies, which are essentially:
* Handling
* Correcting
* Investigating
The HCIs ("Handlings, Corrections & Investigations") cycle thru ever-increasing "gradients", culminating in a full-bore Fair Game attack--which is nothing more than a severe form of handling & correcting a non-OT "particle".
Am I digressing? Not at all, because only thru the miracle of being physically and/or psychologically brutalized during one or more of these HCI's that one is brought to the point of saying: "Fuck this! I'm outta here".
This was, in fact, precisely my blow-cog:
"I no longer want to be Handled, Corrected or Investigated."
My God! The relief!
And that, dear friends, leads us to the answer of what I am doing now, having achieved my goal of "
A World without Handling, Correction & Investigation".
I am doing this now....
I do anything I want.
And what of religion and God, you ask?
Well, I don't purport to know the full meaning of life and God-- but I have at least gotten this close to the realization of Deity.
I do anything I goddamn want.
If that doesn't sound very spiritual, try it some time and see if it doesn't raise your spirits.
