&quot;...the remaining bubble dwellers seem able to not-see almost anything.&quot;

And this never ceases to amaze me.    

I can&#039;t seem to process this, seriously. 

I&#039;m not even going to  ask for advice from anyone.

I&#039;ve gotten the most insightful, perceptive, helpful advice from people on this blog and each time I have I&#039;ve said to myself, truthfully,  &quot;Yes, I understand.  I&#039;ve got it now.  This makes sense.  I understand the Still Ins now.&quot; 

And then, I come back on here and read something else and its like I&#039;m reading it for the first time.

Seriously, I don&#039;t seem to be capable of processing this.  I don&#039;t know if I&#039;m ever going to really get it.]]></description>

IF   TPTB cared about actually getting people INTO the orgs, they wouldn&#039;t have changed everything so much, but what do WE care?  They&#039;re digging their own grave, and it might as well be a mass one, for all they actually care.]]></description>

Hubbard must have been drinking his own past lives Koolaid.  Or almost worse, he was using such stories to create a suggestive &quot;reality&quot; about past lives as a tool of control, so that for instance pedophilia in Scientology could be swept under the rug and blamed on childrens&#039; having done something wrong themselves on another planet eons ago.

Supposed past lives, at least as the construct is used in Scientology, are a form of false memory syndrome, in Scientology cultivated and directed so that members come to believe things that suit Hubbard&#039;s agenda of indoctrination and control, even being led so far as to create cunningly influenced false narratives about their own personal histories.  If there is anything like a real &quot;implant,&quot; that&#039;s actually an example of it.]]></description>

I&#039;d like to think so, but the remaining bubble dwellers seem able to not-see almost anything.  I suspect something like this might cause some questioning by a few, but just a few, who have some critical faculties and lingering doubts.

We have reports, for instance, that the staff in the empty orgs must really believe that there are millions of scientologists somewhere else.  Members like Kirstie Alley have cited a figure up to  20 million that apparently is circulating informally  - pretty bizarre when the reality is something less an a thousandth of that, and pictures of the largest gatherings nowadays show just a fraction of the crowd at the LA arena.]]></description>

Interesting point, I wonder what the 1984-ized version of the 1993 video is like, with all the unpersons edited out, and other Orwellian major adjustments to the &quot;truth.&quot;

They probably dare not even distribute it on video, because people might compare the newspeak propaganda version to the original.]]></description>

The flyer for the Midwest says, &quot;What do you get?&quot; and then they show a picture of an empty room and hall of an Ideal Org.  So the answer in their own flyer to the question, &quot;what do you get?&quot; is:  an EMPTY org.  And yes they have achieved that goal!  Clap clap and standing O for that product. 

In their flyer they answer the question with one word:  Dissemination!  (don&#039;t forget the exclamation point.)   If they wanted to do the flyer correctly, they would after the word Dissemination NOT have a pic of an empty org, but would have tons of people photoshopped showing them entering the org.  Duh.]]></description>

Over the years tens of thousands of people fell for it. It wasn&#039;t that difficult to do if you didn&#039;t know the overall picture. The lower levels addressed more mundane things like communication, problems, and regrets as well as attitudes, emotions, sensations and pains.
