Wow! Caroline has nailed it! Every current and ex-scientologist needs to read this. To me this explains it all.
yep, adherence to scientology becomes auditing dependency.
I observed it in myself. When I hadn't received any auditing for awhile, and when I finally got in session, it was like WOW, I finally get to get to be in session.
I have observed this with my wife who is way up the bridge from me. She would have an upset in life, and had to talk about it forever. I wasn't enough, she had to talk to her DofP, her FSM. It was auditing dependency. Or transference.
I observed it in another close friend. Not too long ago. His business associate, sort of, got into trouble. My friend had to handle the upset in session. I was like "Really" when he told me. It was not like my friend was really close to this business associate. I couldn't understand. But in reading Caroline's write-up, I got it.
