On planet Scientology, strange things happen. And nobody seems to notice.
Many moons ago I was in the Sea Org and there was an all-hands cleaning one Saturday. I was assigned windows. No problem, i like window cleaning and had tons of experience meticulously detailing the family cars when I was in high school so they were spotless when i went out to party. And I was at least a class XII window specialist. So I got to work on those windows and was doing a superb job by anyone's standards.
Big mistake! The AO Commanding Officer came up in my face, glaring with hatred and demanded to know "DO YOU KNOW THE REFERENCE ON THAT?" (window washing). I was ordered to do it Ron's standard way with newspaper (by inference, not my DB Squirrel way). So, being a good little guy, I switched to newspapers and wondered what all the ugly upset was all about.
Key phrase: DO YOU KNOW THE REFERENCE ON THAT?
I forgot about that little moment until not long ago I bumped into an acquaintance (who is a newer Scientologist). They just came from course and relayed this little gem. Someone "reported" them for wearing perfume. The Director of Training came right up to confront my friend impatiently, barking out: "DO YOU KNOW THE REFERENCE ON THAT?"
It so happened that they were NOT wearing perfume but apparently their shampoo had some scent. It was a bizarre and upsetting experience for my friend. I laughed about it and told them what I really thought. I heard they haven't been going to course recently and the org has been sending recovery teams to their house at all crazy hours of the night. Ooops, another one bites the dust.
In any other classroom setting in the known world, the teacher would have possibly asked them very kindly if they could switch seats because someone was sensitive to that odor. Or, perhaps they would have apologetically wondered if it would be possible to use a neutral or unscented shampoo as a courtesy to the sensitive party. It would have been gracefully done without any fuss or embarrassing accusation.
It got me to thinking. On planet Scientology the inhabitants actually believe there is a holy bible that contains all of the secrets, laws and spiritually perfect answers. A REFERENCE FOR EVERYONE, ON EVERYTHING!
It's not a tool to use. It is the sacred source of all that is good. And anything not appearing in the book is not good=against survival=unethical=evil=suppressive=must be stopped or destroyed! That'll keep 'em reading the good book.
What do Scientologists GET for giving up the enjoyment and benefits of common sense? They get to go to heaven without thinking. All they have to do is follow the person directly ahead of them in line and mimic what they are doing. Because they assume that somewhere at the front of the 10,000,000 person line SOMEBODY must assuredly be pointing them in the right direction.
Problem is, there is nobody running things at the front end of the line. And...the line is so long that the people at the back of it cannot see that the people at the front are dropping off a steep cliff.
Wanna talk about Total Freedom? Earlier tonight I actually used a piece of cloth to clean off the windshield of my car! WOOOHOOOO!!!
