Ot 3 handles what can be contacted at that level of awareness, OT 4 handles case affected by drugs not available to handle on III, Ot 5 handles another type, level, whatever, and SoloNOTs finishes off the area of Pre-OT case. It is ALL set ups so you can actually run OT levels as a single unit being. This is not confidential. What gets slimed all over the internet is misduplications, missed importances, altered sequences, etc. People generally miss the ENTIRE POINT of the pre-OT levels, which is to give you back the ability to think a thought and know it is your own thought. T o have your own considerations, and your own postulates. It is a humanitarian effort to free beings on this planet, who are so enmeshed in spiritual chaos, they have no hope or prayer of freeing themselves with anything less than this Tech. Now, having said that, I also believe the current gestapo/RTC approach is futile and doomed. You can be as faded and jaded as you like, and proclaim Hubbards faults till doomsday, but when you are set up properly this stuff runs like butter, and the wins are big and juicy. There IS an end to that band, and when you hit it, it's good. I am part of the fallout of pioneers who were told we had made it when we hadn't, that's all. If you have questions about pre-OT levels, and go poking around, I don't know if you are going to get hurt or not. Ron said you might. But more importantly, the implanters are still around, and they still are afraid of thetans who are free. This tech is for use. I want to see it perfected, and used by a humantarian group. I think the CofS is not humanitarian, as shown by how they treat their own staff. I know I will get an earfull on this one, Ok. I'm certain of what I got, and didn't get out of OT levels. I don't need any agreement. Mike
I hate to tell you this, but plenty of folks were doing fine as "single unit beings," and were "able to think a thought and know it's his own thought," etc., even though the world is filled with life, and with some shadows too.
*It wasn't a problem*.
IMO, OT 3 is not mainly about exorcism, that's the "shore story." OT 3 is an evaluation, a kind of Hubbardian Implant that must be agreed with if one is to "survive." It was also Hubbard's explanation to himself as to why he failed in Rhodesia, and was not being recognized as the Great Man. In Rhodesia, Hubbard wanted to be a combination of Cecil Rhodes, and '007' (James Bond, Mr. Cool), and the Great Enlightened One, and it didn't work out. For Hubbard, OT 3 became the answer to the question "What is the engram necessary to resolve the 'case'," except it was, "What is the incident that explains his (Hubbard's) failure in Rhodesia (and other problems)," THEN it was super-imposed upon others as THIER "case."
Unable to be the identity he sought in Rhodesia (with the Fair Game Law, and his Private Intelligence Network [G.O.] at his side), Hubbard became the "Commodore" and started the Sea Org. He couldn't become "Mr. Big" with his own country, so he became the Commodore of his own private navy.
He then wrote that enlightened piece (gasp) known as the 'Bolivar PL', and, having completed OT 3 before anyone else, supposedly was - for a time - the only truly sane being on the planet. Then he dreamt up the "Commodore's Messengers," the "Chain Locker" punishment, and supervised various "Support" or attack "Ops" - by telex from the ship - such as Op Dynamite against Paulette Cooper (that became OP Freak Out in 1976, also under his direct supervision [April 1976] while he was briefly residing in Washington DC.)
The point is, this wasn't sanity. Something was seriously wrong.
OT 2 and OT 3 (and the Clearing Course before that) were sold as mysteries, secrets, dangerous, very very important, essential to survival, etc. They were (and are), IMO, part of the Trap portion of what Hubbard was doing.
(And, yes, IMO, there is some good stuff in "Scientology," but also, IMO, Hubbard had a hidden agenda, a hidden agenda that dates back to at least 1938.)
NOTS was an add on, after Hubbard's second nervous breakdown (after the 1977 FBI raids), and was stretched out for years, with the idea that one would be "right around the corner" from being Full OT as result.
Look around, and look back (historically). Were those involved with Scientology more aware and more able as a result of OT 2, and then OT3? People accepted being told the contents of their own minds - and their own spaces - because they were promised Full OT as a result, as a kind of trade off.
As for "exorcism," when needed, "Hello and OK," and "Two way communication" work well enough, IMO.
And if someone benefits from something, then that's good, but not everyone needs that, and not everyone benefits.
There is no option in Scientology of simply saying, "No, I don't have that," or "I don't need that, as I don't have that problem."
And the only reason for writing this is to let others know that there's another way.
