There are numerous Scientologists who clearly remember being audited by Ron in the '40s and even earlier.

I wonder if anyone ever regrets that being said out loud.

Some of them are here So, you could ask them. But, they would also probably consider the question 'invalidative'.

Perhaps they DO come back... as Anons?

Around 1977 or so I distinctly "recalled" in session being audited by Ron around 1936 (ahem). I even thought it important enough to write an SO1 letter about it. I got back some form kind of response that thoroughly put me off ever writing to Hubbard again, but still cherished the idea that I had been important enough to have been with Hubbard at such an early time.
Later I caught a whiff of reality and snapped back into "What was I thinking?!!" mode. But it had seemed real at the time. I suppose it's a case of being so short of self-esteem at the time that I needed to invent something like that (along with maybe being overrun on some flat chain), and past lives are real easy to do that sort of thing in because the evidence required is usually none at all beyond the absence of impossibility for one reason or another.
I don't think I ever told anyone else in real life about it, though. Probably the auditor at the time, not sure. Now, it doesn't count, and who cares?

I wonder what Hubbard thought when he received correspondence of this nature? I wonder if he had an remorse after reading reports of his con game messing people's heads up with false memories like this, or if he just patted himself on the back and considered it proof that his mind control con game worked.

It is all well and good to discuss in a philisophical way if reincarnation is true or not. However, I don't think it matters. I believe what really matters is what you do with the life that you have at present. Is there such a thing as Karma? I don't believe that you have to worry about that either. Just try to live the best life that you can now without (intentionally) hurting anyone.

@Dull old fart and Tiger Lily: I find it so fascinating! How did people around you react? What where the responses?
When I was back in I heard many stories of people coming back, second hand stories. I was made to believe that those so very important people were mostly working somewhere at the top mostly. You know, over the rainbow...

I was just reading an account of life in the SO, and it got me wondering: have there been any people turn up, claiming to be returning from their 21 year 'leave of absence'?
That Hubbard fellow sure made the rounds, didn't he?
Only two of the 80 or so Scientologists I've met claimed that they were past life Scio's. One attested to past life OT3 and the other told me he was a past life OT5.
Personally I thought they were full of shit. Their behaviors didn't fit the "mold".
And the "mold" around them was beginning to stink.
