The powerful people of Scientology. Today I got a taste of the power of an Operating Thetan V.

in #life8 years ago

Today I met a woman who was very friendly and charismatic. 

We talked and I liked her. What I didn't like was that she said that drugs are bad and that I should become clear.

I asked her if she is a member of Scientology and she said yes. I was surprised because I was only joking that she could not be that conservative.

I told her how the other Scientology member used language to make me feel bad after I told him what I heard in TV. It was the day before the Anonymous protest took place in 2008. I had no idea that the protest would happen and I met the man in front of the Scientology Church in Amsterdam coincidentely.

After I told her what everyone heard about the church in the media she said that I am talking rubbish and that the people can have a classic religion besides Scientology and that the members are free to think and act as they think is right. The money they take is for keeping the business running, to pay for the rent of the houses and so on. 

It was then when she showed me her power of communication. She came a tiny bit closer to me and focussed me with one eye. She then irritated me with quick statements and / or questions to get me off my feet in order to access my mind and use a form of hypnosis. Somehow I said what she wanted me to say. She made me play along so to speak. 

When she saw that I realized it and that I got fear she stopped and went on with talking like before. 

When I think about it now, several hours later, I think that she just wanted to show me what she can do. Everyone can learn to manipulate people but the question is if it is a good thing to do. I am just telling you what happened from my perspective.

She told me that she is OT5, an Operating Thetan and I just looked it up. Intense. 

Before we said goodbye I told her that I don't have a problem with anyone as long as they don't harm others. 

Let's say they are a church like any other and some people like to organize in that way, it's cool, why not. The Wikipedia entry about Operating Thetans is very interesting. Like a game they use many words that are made up and have levels they have to complete. It's a bit like with Steemit hehe. That it is good to not take drugs for 4 weeks and only minerals and vitamins with the food to become clear is not harmful and may be even good.

I feel a certain attraction to it and at the same time I think about the weirdest and most scary dream I have ever had. It involved a fit woman who was the spokesperson of an organisation which later turned out to be not as easy and free as it seemed. The spokeswoman first was inviting and intelligent but when I was running away because the place was a prison which looked like a chique villa she tried to stop me with these kind of tricks.

Alone the fact that the situation today reminds me of this dream creates shivers down my spine and makes me sceptic.

I go with my feeling for now and skip Scientology but never say never. We could also offer courses like them and .. OK, that's enough for today.

See you,

Interesting. All religions start of pretty similarly as cults in my opinion and they all use various methods for manipulating people.

Sure I try to when I can quite often I forget - I've found that twitter is one of the most effective ways of getting people's attention. If all of us started tweeting out posts we like it would really help to grow Steemit.

I certainly hope you asked her for a donation to get your teeth fixed :-)
Scientology has way more money than we do.

No, but she gave me a donation.
Edit, I mean yes, but I didn't aks her to pay it all.

This is the same power of engine-less DC-8 aircraft.

I'm sure in Germany they have a single word to describe people paying $9000 for being an OT, but it would consume all the oxygen in my town to pronounce it.

So I will use the shorter Italian word: "IDIOTA".

They stated that the xenu story can only be understood after several years of studying. I think that hubbard used a form of imagination to express what he received in pictures in the mind. Maybe it's true that something crazy happened millions of years ago. The church also talks a lot about angels and everyone believes it or knows that it is just way to explain inner visions etc.

Aha. Well, I am selling a very old stadium in the center of Rome. I am also doing a special sales, just for this week: if you buy 2 , I will give you 3 coliseums at the same price. They aren't cheap but if you just study a bit of real estate, you will understand why it was a good investment. Sure.

That's pretty creepy. I would've been more thana little freaked out by such an encounter.

That's the life on a gonzo poet. I started the conversation and have to live with the consequences. I met someone who went to Scientology for a study who told me that they are very intelligent and capable people but that it is good to be critical. I don't want to be clear when it involves not to take drugs and at the same time it is a enticing thought to part of a large religion where the people make lots of money and give you respect and safety. Got to get into something new today and forget it before I go there or decide to make my own religion.
