This deserves a thread of its own.
Wow! I came to that conclusion entirely by myself when thinking back about my Book One auditing. I created a bank to be run in session. And then I thought all Scn is like that. Hubbard found a list of things the mind can create and run and for some it may have some beneficial effect. The state of Clear is a fraud because it's only becoming yourself after Dn and Scn had made you something else.
And now I just realize something else, OT VIII with its EP of "you just are, with no complexity," being the first actual OT levels while the other are pre-OT, etc, is the exact same scam.
Guess what? I made my original goals, I'm Clear after all, without the aberrations Hubbard pretended I had, and OT, free of the personalities infestation I got from reading Hubbard's fratured personae's writings and from trying to figure "What would Ron do?" and trying to emulate humanity's best friend (Hubbard's little joke telling us he's a sly dog?).
I'm myself without any of these complexities.
This reminds me of a passage near the end of Kaufman's book. Both auditor and preclear embrace the roles Hubbard designed for them. The auditor believes he's facilitating the removal of engrams, etc., the preclear dutifully follows the script, believing he's making gains. But in reality, the preclear is merely being finely conditioned to give the auditor exactly what he wants without realizing himself that this is what is actually taking place.
"The growing rapprochement between auditor and preclear -- sitting to front and back of the E-meter, the dispenser of judgments and gifts -- is a tragi-comedy, neither having any idea of what is actually happening, neither aware that the machine is their masturbation toy."
Robert Kaufman, Inside Scientology, p. 190
