The product is one becomes adept at imaginative false memories, and co-fantacising with Hubbard that Xenu factually loaded up earth with zillions of body thetans and body thetan clusters, which Scientologists need to do a whole lot of exorcising to get earth sane again!
Fantacists.
The product is group fantacists.
If Scientologists could only provide evidence of just a tiny amount of supernatural (OT) abilities.

I was in the Sea Org (the faux religious order, but very real while you are in it) for 27 years, from 1975-2003.
I worked at the Flag Service Org (Clearwater, Florida), Flag Bureaux (Clearwater and LA), Int Training Org (Clearwater and LA), Routing Forms Pjt run by CMO Int (Gilman Hot Springs and LA), Senior HCO Int (LA), INCOMM (LA, Gilman Hot Springs, LA), ASI (LA), and I did two stints on the infamous RPF (lifer staffer thought reform redemption program, 7 years in all, Happy Valley, LA).
I run the toll free advice line, 866-XSEAORG. I live in Pittsburgh.
Scientology's been covered by new religion scholars, the two most authoritative scholarly books, Roy Wallis' "The Road to Total Freedom"; Harriet Whitehead's "Renunciation and Reformulation", and the best easily digestable layman's language book, Hugh Urban's "The Church of Scientology: History of a New Religion".
Popular must read books, Janet Reitman's "Inside Scientology." (She's a Rolling Stone magazine editor)
Lawrence Wright's "Going Clear..." (he's a New Yorker magazine journalist and Pulitzer Prize winning author). The Wright "Going Clear...." book has unprecedented NEW information from the man who tended the Creston Ranch where L. Ron Hubbard died. That man tells L. Ron Hubbard's final state of mind, Hubbard's thoughts for Hubbard's future, information that is totally vital info for all Scientologists. But sadly, Scientologists are not allowed to read Lawrence Wright's book, and thus they are NOT informed about Hubbard's final thoughts about Hubbard's "case" problems. Nor are official Scientologists generally aware of Hubbard's final private plans, which he told only to his closest top associates. Scientology is fearful to share Hubbard's frank honest final thoughts.
But I highly urge Scientologists to get up the courage to read the best scholarly and popular books about Scientology, and get realistic about their movement and what to do going forward so that Scientology becomes less abusive and less greedy!
I urge Scientologists to read Reitman's, Urban's and Wright's books!
Us normal citizens are allowed to read these books. Scientologists, sadly are not!
There are also ongoing papers, just new out, from new religion scholar Jim Lewis, which finally touches realistically on the splinter Scientologist groups, which act more sane and rational that the official Scientologists. If there is any real noticeable change for the better in the overall subject of Scientology, it is in the zone of the splinter Scientologists who act less abusive, in fact they don't engage in official Scientology's abuses and greed at all. The "freezone" Scientologist community, in fact are probably what originally Scientology might have better become, had not official Scientology turned into such a totalitarian North Korean like tightly controlled cult.
Long range, Scientology will likely slowly evolve to be more rational (less insanely greedy, more transparent, and acting like other religious groups members who behave more tolerantly and less zealously nutty).
But currently, under Scientology's current tyrant dictator leader, a position that Hubbard never wished for their current tyrant dictator leader to be assuming, once this dictator dies of old age, Scientology might long range become more "sane" like the splinter Scientology "freezone" community is behaving already.
The numbers of total Scientologists worldwide is likely 50,000 or less.
It's not a big new religion.
What they teach, well they teach how to do L. Ron Hubbard's spiritual therapy (correctly pegged by 1950 critics as a pseudo-science crank quack therapy). And they teach high volume exorcism.
The crank spiritual therapy eventually leads their followers to look into their past lives, and wash away the trauma and bad influences of their past lives, including lives on advanced space civilizations of zillions of years ago, when the trauma and turmoil was as at a whole science fiction level of turmoil!
Scientologists have secret "upper levels" , 8 secret levels in total.
5 of the 8 secrety "upper levels", the ones named OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, are all high volume exorcism.
Scientologists learn of the famous Xenu story, also known as the 4th Dynamic Engram, a tremendous trauma/turmoil moment that supposedly happened 75 million years ago.
The net result of that 75 million year around mega trauma catastrophe, was a huge surplus of space alien souls that float around earth, the souls formed into clusters, and these surplus souls and clusters of souls have infested ALL human bodies alive. These souls and soul clusters are heavily traumatized with very bad ideas, and they leak their bad ideas into our minds, to our detriment, so Hubbard teaches.
Scientology's secret upper levels, called OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, are all exorcism procedures to rid the Scientologists, methodically, of their loads of these surplus souls, called "body thetans". They are souls that infest our bodies, even though you can't identify them, you have to become a highly trained Scientologist to learn to do the exorcism on yourself, and you also have to have another highly trained Scientologist do the exorcism on you.
OT 3 and 7, you do the exorcism on yourself.
OT 4 and 5, another person does the exorcism on you.
OT 6, you learn how to do the exorcism procedure so you can do OT 7 on yourself.
In a nutshell, Scientology is a pseudo-crank-spiritual therapy religion, and it is a high volume exorcism religion.
To get to the top, you will have to peel off the trauma from your past lives, and then peel off a whole lotta dead space alien surplus souls, off your body, so you in the end, are spiritually free.
It just so happens, that Hubbard, in the end of his life, was still having trouble getting rid of some hard to exorcise souls. He told his Creston Ranch hand friend, that after Hubbard died, Hubbard said he was going out into outer space to circle a distant star. Trained and in the know Scientologists understand Hubbard's comments to mean that Hubbard is now, at this moment, well he's dead, but Hubbard is likely still out in outer space, circling a distant star, as a pure soul.
This action is called the OT running program. IN 1978ish Hubbard wrote about this soul circling in outer space activity, he said that it is a therapy process that ancient space civilizations used to have their powerful souls do, to rehabilitate themselves.
Hubbard's Scientology very much believes we are souls, and Hubbard's Scientology is all about the crank therapy processes to address and supposedly rehabilitate us as souls, to regain our ESP and pure soul abilities, like the ability to fly out of our heads, out of the body, and do as Hubbard claims he is at this moment, which is supposedly making large circles out in outer space, around a distant star.
Read the books, the best current 3 books, are Janet Reitman's, Lawrence Wright's and Hugh Urban's.
If you wish to read L. Ron Hubbard, then on Amazon, for only a few bucks, I recommend:
"One Was Stubborn" (1940 sci fi novellete by Hubbard includes a cult leader and the story theme about becoming one's own God of one's own universe, pretty much what Hubbard later promises but never delivers in Scientology)
"Self Analysis" by Hubbard, for examples of the lukest warmest introductory crank therapy commands, as examples.
"Dianetics Today" (1975, out of print, but a quick look at this book you see the crank therapy commands used to push people into their imaginary past lives, including examples of session records, including space civilization past life discoveries of heavy trauma moments)
Wikipedia articles on "Xenu." In a nutshell, the Xenu story merely is a super heavy trauma (Hubbard's word for trauma is an engram), and the Xenu story is a convoluted story which in summary was just a really bad bad incident that went on for a couple months, a mega mass murder and science fiction implanting incident, resulting in today, supposedly, earth being loaded up with zillions of souls, called "body thetans" and 'body thetan clusters", which infest all of our bodies, and only Hubbard's secret "upper levels" numbered OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 will exorcise all these surplus body thetans (alien souls) off our bodies!
The online blog, called "The Underground Bunker" has a series of interviews with senior ex members, Claire Headley and Bruce Hines, who explain the exorcism levels (OT 3, 4, 5 etc.) of Scientology. Bruce Hines' descriptions are the best I've read.
There are thousands of "freezone" Scientologists one can easily contact, but like official Scientologists, they are unwilling to get into the details of Scientology's exorcism, because L. Ron Hubbard thought if the members started thinking too deeply about the surplus souls infesting them, they'd cause themselves very bad reactions. But to people who will never buy the Hubbard "body thetans" story line, learning the theory of the Xenu story and the exorcism, has of course no ill effect.
In a nutshell, Scientology is a crank quack past lives pseudo therapy to unburden us, and it is a high volume exorcism crank therapy, all for our supposedly spiritual improvement.
And it is mainly just a huge amount of false memory imaginative mental activity.
Product: science fiction spiritual fanticists.
