It's interesting to review Hubbard telling Scientologists that the Implants he's telling them to mock up are real, but were represented to them - or their 'BTs' - as being only 'mocked up'.
This is almost a standard gimmick for Hubbard.
One example: Hubbard plays the part of a sinister Communist psychiatrist in his hoax 'Russian Brainwashing Manual' then, as the Communist psychiatrist and/or Chief of the Russian Secret Police, Beria/author of the Manual, tells the reader of the ('anti-Dianetics') 'Russian Manual', that the 'Russian Communist' Manual's authenticity should be "laughed into scorn," and it should be branded "as an immediate hoax."
His 1950s letters to the FBI demonstrate similar manipulative twists, and - if anyone were sufficiently curious - his taped lectures and some of his writings also feature similar trickerisms.
A person is asked to open his or her mind to something, in an intimate counseling session, with a meter, a meter that measures emotional reaction, but quickly becomes regarded as a truth-detector.
Add to that the significance of "Your Survival!" and "Your next endless trillions of years," and "Your Eternity," etc., and this becomes a really nasty trick.
