This is grossly unfair mate.

You forget the fact that the sauna you are talking about is not yet “Ideal” so you should not expect them to get the figures correct.

Oh, and totally spot on observation that if the Purif one did did NOT negatively effect your subsequent auditing, then why re-do the damned thing? At the time, I didn’t actually ask anyone THAT question, but I definitely was feeling the concept, if you catch my drift.

“scientology’s reality” is pretty much a generality and besides scientology is a subject not a living entity therefore it doesn’t have any awareness to have a “reality”.

To me it’s like saying according to a toaster’s reality etc….

But anyway, aside from that. I do see your point WS.

For instance I was told by some moron calling himself a “C/S” that anyone who had any Dianetics like HSDC and XDn as an OT was going to be on NOTs longer.

Such bull shit as far as I was concerned. Especially when you read what Ron says in the Auditor and the Mind’s Protection.

But idiots like that get away with such BS because the subjects of the current Organization accept any authoritarian statement by some low life with some braid and a Banana Republic made up title like “COB” for example without question.

If you met someone who claimed that their “tech” could defy gravity, would you hand them your baby to fling into the air to “just try it out”? No, you wouldn’t, because you don’t need to be a scientist to just KNOW that his claim is wrong, and your baby is too precious to risk, don’t you think?

Well, LRH’s claims about drugs and radiation should go into that same category in your mind: just plain not correct, I’m sorry to say…

Maybe so Jethro,

But I figure those cases are pretty rare. I mean once you’ve technically the EP and your case is progressing pretty well. Why bother?

Besides I don’t know any reference anywhere that says you can’t do a sauna every once in while.

Hey way back before the purif. Me and a buddy of mine used to do a sauna and vitamins (especially lots of B1) to rid ourselves of the effects of a hangover.

Worked pretty good 😉

and I’ve also failed to realize how many of you folks really do believe that SCN has something good in it… I believe there is an obvious mountain of evidence to the contrary, but: Best of luck to you, and I really do mean that…

it is a bit scary to me that no one (well, maybe I didn’t notice it yet) among these comments has mentioned that the entire concept of the PURIF is false, from a simple science point of view.

I had a friend who tried and tried to get me into SCNTLGY; like a good friend, I read many of the books but found it to be mostly nonsense, especially Hubbard’s writings on radiation, drugs, and the PURIF. Having studied chemistry/biology/physics etc, one realizes that the premise behind the PURIF is just silly.

When my old pal told me that he had done the PURIF and re-experienced things like baby aspirin and meth that he’d done many years prior, I patiently explained that water-soluble compounds (like Vitamin C for example) simply cannot be stored in the body long-term, and that even fat-soluble compounds are expelled in shorter periods than that. Further, the idea that “radiation” was coming out of his body (when all that redness is the body’s normal reaction to a large dose of Niacin) was completely contrary to how radiation works…

I also pointed out how frightening I found it, that his “religion” had convinced him that he had personally experienced things that are just physically impossible.

He responded by mailing me a disconnection letter. And that isn’t weird at all…

Anyway, I just found it a bit “off”, I guess, that contributors to this thread are talking about how “wrong” it is that the Tech was changed… when I would hope that folks would be realizing that the Tech itself is useless.

Good luck in your journeys, and may you avoid things like Scientology in the future.

Yeah gotta admit that’s real quackery there Dan and that the FDA is probably quietly building up a case against him.

Thankfully we have our great and glorious government to save us from ourselves.

Chuck, most of Mercola’s articles are real quackery. Stuff like “take responsibility for your health,” “eat healthy food,” “exercise,” “avoid toxic chemicals,” you know, the stuff that doesn’t cost anything and which cuts into Big Medicine’s billions they make from an obese, sick populace.
