IMO, it's more like "I liked the Comm Course" or "I felt good after some auditing" THEREFORE all claims that Hubbard made about the "Reactive Mind" (e.g. DMSMH) or his notions of spirituality must be correct.

Then they are mentally trapped in "the tech" even after they leave the official Church of Scientology.

I never did the comm course, but did do a free book 1 session from the dianetics book after reading it.

In my first session I cried in front of the auditor, my thoughts at the time was I had a emotional release, and subsequently I bought more auditing thinking hubbard was right and I could go clear.
