Frankly, back in the mid 70's OT 1 was a walk around outside observing type process with absolute nothing " confidential " other that it was called OT1 & it was just a so-so thing to do.
OT 2 first thing was becoming aware that for people who hadn't audited this was going to be a bitch. It was obvious some people on the solo course were lost with a meter.
And, on the gobbled gook of 2 it was come a cropper IF they were really good with the meter. The level its self was a sci fi run way to much vaulted ot3 Wall of Fire. Gain? Nah. Did it. So what.
OT 3, so much as been written about it - it just seemed way too weird reading it. A lot of WTF going on in my head. Looking back I tend to think that is where the "hook" really got set & I stopped MY thinking and just followed the old man.
A smugness that *I* joined the few that had braved the dreaded Wall of Fire? Unfortunately, yes. So I backed off while others did the old 4,5,6,& 7 - back then I think ( somebody correct me if I'm wrong here ) 7 was a rerun of the clearing course.
I know some people who attested to clear during the opening of the flood gate of dianetic clear were concerned they'd 'miss' the clearing course & were assured they'd see it along the way.
Like many others, when NOTs came out . . . . . I went to flag to do 4 & 5 which, of course were more of the BTs & clusters I had attested to on OT 3 that there were no more of. Can't explain how I bought these were buried deeper or some such BS.
7 was flag only. Live at flag & do 7 or don't do it. Like most other people in the era of live in the FH & eat there meals period it was a no go for me, too.
As soon as 7 was released for 'export' ( they could get more people on it ! ) there I went to do 6 & get on 7. 6 was hand written by David Mayo. As I was OK'd to leave & go home with the level David Mayo was declared. I so wanted to go screw this & leave as I KNEW that was just wrong.
And there went a long odyessy of solo auditing of guess what ? More BTs & clusters !
The way 7 was written it looked like as long as there were ANY bts or clusters that level could NOT be flatten by any individual.
Along in there somewhere the 6 months checks ( none of us EVER agreed to ! ) came about. The first couple to question 6 mos checks got promptly declared. So, get back in line & pay for the sec checks.
A 6 months check could keep you there at lease a month. Seeing the MAA could take 5 days of waiting ! Hell, sometimes it took 3 days to route in & 3 or 4 days to route out ! )
Then Betty attested & that flood started ( Never mind very soon after she died of cancer ) of attesting to 7 ! Why ?
Now there " set ups " for 8 ! THAT was also a loooooooooooooong expensive road ( I didn't do only because I was stuck at the toll gate for lotsa $$$$ )
Did things happen along the way where I saw people get screwed to the wall ? Raped in ethics ? Robbed by the IAS ? Sold intensives they never needed ? Shipped off for L's ? Told they weren't clear ?
yeah it all !
