What a great thread.
The threads created by people telling their stories on this board are so much better than anything Hubbard every wrote, and it's not even close.
They are genuinely honest and come from the heart, which is some thing Hubbard knew absolutely nothing about.
This is probably one of the main reasons it is so difficult for some people to break free of Scientology,
Breaking free from Hubbard's Mind fuck requires being honest with yourself, painfully honest in fact.
It can be extremely difficult for some, if not most, since Scientology programs you to believe being honest will put your eternity at risk.
In fact it is the main tenet of Scientology .... only think and do what benefits Scientology
This requires disconnecting from reality, constantly lying to yourself, and constantly lying to everyone you come in contact with.
Once you can break though the facade of fear created by Hubbard and can freely tell your story, you realize just how small of a man Hubbard real was and how evil the cult he created really is.
Thank you for taking the time to read my thread. I sincerely appreciate it.

Yep. It takes some deep digging for sure! The self-honestly is, at times, excruciating. No more denial. No more lying to self.
My biggest “betrayer” was myself. I was so good at shifting “reality”, bending it to please others, to hide from my own dark spots and my own fears. Letting others convince (manipulate) me into believing they held the answers to my freedom, my sense of myself. "You hearing me laughing at you yet Hubbard?"
Along the way of digging into my darkest self, facing all the pain and betrayal (and single-handedly contributing to some very profitable years for the tissue manufacturing industry), I have found a way to love myself for being that silly, for being that innocent, for being that God damn human!
Proudly, loudly, in your face, unashamedly mind-control free! (yes I accept there may still be nasty barbed bits lurking deep within but I know how to deal to it!) Life ain't perfect but it is perfectly imperfect. Very very like me!
Is there a mountain I can go stand on to celebrate?
