Yeah - and I hate when guys walk out of the ice-box and start singing.

The physical universe seen from the correct distance is a wonderful spinning golden ball , neatly centered within yourself......thats partial exterior.
Actually, I *have* seen a rotating globe floating in space with nothing surrounding it. Its detail was a little different though - mine was earth-like and it appeared as it would if I were looking at it from some distance away. At the time I had no idea why a globe would just appear like that, but I did not assume I was exterior or that the spinning globe actually *was* the earth - it could have been any planet-like body. The most likely explanation for me is that there are certain ideas/images/concepts/notions pre-wired into the brains of humans which didn't get there as the result of direct experience of something external. I've had deja-vu incidents as a child which would also strongly support this hypothesis (thanks Zinj). These items can differ in the amount of detail they contain from that which is normally expected with sensory-channel inputs, which makes them readily recognizable as strange. The pc knows right away he is experiencing something that doesn't tie in with the other stuff in his life. When the item contained less detail than usual I had a tendency to embellish it. When the item contained more detail than usual I just stood in awe, wondering where it came from while trying to keep it in view as long as possible. Anyone else here have these?

Alan is only kidding. He knows the universe is about the size of a matchbox and is transparent with lights flashing inside.
If you study real religion you will see it reaches towards the nothingness of everything. It does not label or condemn. Does not classify or codeify. Does not praise or scorn.
I realised this after Scn condemned me to an eternal abyss existence.

As you move closer in - the Gold turns white.
Closer in still - the whiteness turns into billions of dots - those dots are the planets and gasses.
Closer in still the distances between the dots become vast and vaster.
Closer in still those dots separate into galaxies and solar systems.
Closer in still the galaxies and solar systems separate into specific planets, moons, etc.
Closer in still you locate the planet of your choice and move closer in......before long you have a specific body you surround.
Some go even further in - they go inside the body, then condense even smaller and occupy only their head, some get even smaller and only occupy a cell.....
At all times these are centered within you....if not you are out of valence.
Reverse the process and you recover your spacation and beingness.
Not much to it really......just reach out and expand.....handle what turns on and get the knowldege and know-how to maintain stability at that state, then keep expanding to the next charged level of spacation.
My advice; only process the positive.......allow the negative to come to view and erase it.
Failure to do this positive step and you can rearrange the mind furniture for all eternity.

Surely you weren't fooled by that stupid implant?![]()
Poor Ron was so enmeshed, himself, into his something that he had to something everything. (invented verb - to something - to make a something of nothing)

That makes a lot of sense to me, it fits.[..]

[..] Perhaps you can tell us, Alan, how one discerns between what's real and what's been put there for us to think is real? Is there a subtle clue we can use? Guess the more basic question is this: Is it possible to fool a thetan long-term (perfect trap) or can he always sort it all out eventually?
I'm somethinging something right now.
Can you guess what it is?
You are somethinging the nothing, of course!![]()
How materialistic or religious or spiritual is any cult or movement? How much does it something and how much does it nothing?
To something - to make a something of the nothing.
To nothing - to recognise and move towards the nothing that is the sorce of everything
ExScnDude - Instaed of the phrase "big being" we could substitute "Big Somethings!"
Yes, the something of SP is hilarious when you look it from the Scn axioms. Unfortunately the Big Something, LRH, rarely did that! He felt safer to something all of us into his pigeon holes.
This discussion is getting interesting :jumping:
That makes a lot of sense to me, it fits.
The implant angle fits too. Seriously, I was thinking the same thing; Roland must have read my mind![]()
To expand a little... I see what I feel uneasy about when it comes to this whole exterior thing: the arbitrariness of the details. It smells of additive.

I can handle it. Anything can be fixed. Of course, one may not want to fix it![]()

I've been on audited nots now for three or more weeks.
I am discovering hidden dimensions and forbidden planes.
If this isn't an OT level I don't know what is.
But I felt that way about what Hubbard called OT 1 thru 3 as well.
I don''t know who started this datumn that OT8 was "THE FIRST REAL OT LEVEL".
Hubbard called them all ot levels.
But somehow this got twisted into OT8 being advertised as "the first OT level".
This contradicts what Hubbard said was the first OT level, when he issued OT1.
It also implies that up through ot7 one is not doing ot levels at all, which invalidates ot levels 1 through 7.
If one isn't being OT on OT 2 then I don't know what one is being.
Does anybody know how this word spread that OT8 was the first REAL OT level and where it came from?
MAN!!!! You really gotta knock off that peyote!!!!!
Ironically, Hubbard may have done some of his most interesting work (circa 1954), in Phoenix, Arizona, while under the influence of stimulants of various kinds, and also Peyote.
But to address the issue of OT 2 and OT...
"Doing OT 2" is "being OT." Really?
Being handed the confidential LRH materials for one's first really serious "OT level," (OT2) and then sitting down, in a quiet room, turning on the e-meter, getting the paperwork ready and, then, reading lists of Hubbard-invented implants, their descriptions, and accompanying dates, and swishing it around in one's mind, and watching the e-meter for - whooooooooeeeeeeeeee - those sudden needle reactions and, then, becoming excited at *that*, and maybe even getting, if one really gets into it, a floating - whoooooooeeeeeee zoweeeeeeeee!!! - a floating Tone Arm!
That's called being psyched-out by L. Ron, that's not being "OT."
I don't usually use the term "OT," as it contains that suspicious Hubbard-invented word, "thetan," and I don't wish to be caught up - at the effect end - in one of Hubbard's dark practical word-jokes, but I appreciate the idea of a sovereign spiritual being.
But "OT 2" ain't "being OT," IMO.
Important note: These views are mine alone, and are not intended to be universal pronouncements. They do not have the power to negate any actual benefits attained from any action; however, displacement of Hubbardian mental-fish-hooks may cause brief discomfort. Reports indicate that complete removal of all standard LRH mental-hooks can be accomplished without loss of any actual benefits.
In other words, all you Scientology Standard Tech OTs, please remain c___a___l___m____.
