&quot;The extreme willingness of adults to go to almost any lengths on the command of an authority constitutes the chief finding of the study and the fact most urgently demanding explanation. Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority.&quot; - Milgram (1974).]]></description>

Thank all of you for the excellent answers. A part of me really does get it, and then there&#039;s this larger part of me that just can&#039;t get past the child abuses that this cult believes, or maybe better said that has been convinced of, that children are not children. LRH&#039;s legacy is that a horribly twisted person has ruined a lot of lives and his mini me has continued on where he left off, or dropped off - whatever.  Sadly this isn&#039;t unique to what&#039;s happened over the centuries, but neither would it be unique for the leader of the cult to be ousted.

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it&#039;s not the same river and he&#039;s not the same man.”― Heraclitus

&quot;One falsehood spoils a thousand truths.&quot; African (Ashanti) Proverb

&quot;Justice will only be achieved when those who are not injured by crime feel as indignant as those who are.&quot;

You were supposed to be at cause over your &quot;bank&quot;, of all those dichotomies on the secret platens you &quot;audit&quot; and check which of them &quot;read&quot; on the meter.

Once you flatten all the dichotomies you are supposed to say or cognite that you are at cause over them, they don&#039;t &quot;read&quot; anymore, and you are over that part of what is left of the R6 implanting.

I didn&#039;t do it, but it &quot;makes sense&quot; to me, because when you do OT 3, you learn that Xenu mass murdered the body-thetans and had them all implanted with the R6 implants.

The R6 dichotomies you assess the &quot;charge&quot; still effecting you, and you relieve yourself, supposedly of that &quot;charge&quot; lingering.

That let&#039;s you do OT 3, where you encounter the 4th Dynamic Engram, and the full force of that 36 and 1/2 days of the implanting of the R6 bank Xenu had implanted on you and onto the body-thetans that infest your body still when you start your OT 3.

Scientology is a &quot;case&quot; relieving pseudo-therapy.

On OT 2 you were supposed to defang the dichotomies on those platens, so that when you do OT 3, you see what is messing up your body-thetans, but you will only realise this in hindsight, and only if you think about it all, and put it all together.

Hubbard was trying to supposedly remove and relieve people of these supposedly deeper implants in people&#039;s minds.

So OT 2 was the warming up and relieving of the charge of the dichotomies, so you can then get into the OT 3 exorcism.

It really needs a former Case Supervisor for the Advanced Courses sub area, who knows the theory, and who looks at all of overyone&#039;s OT case folders, and is daily figuring out what is supposedly &quot;wrong&quot; at any moment in this whole process of supposedly peeling off your &quot;case&quot; of your &quot;case&#039;s&quot; supposedly parts.

OT 2 is getting rid of the charge off the R6 implants.

So if you were &quot;stuck&quot; on OT 2, and got no further, my guess is you failed to say something like the dichotomies on OT 2 were having no effect on you, no charge, and you had freedom from any of them, and you had your floating needle.

But, it is all quackery.

It&#039;s bogus, it&#039;s something that even when you understand what Hubbard was trying to accomplish, that doesn&#039;t make it true.   &#039;

I think, myself, it&#039;s all bogus.

But it can make sense, when you dissect it into its tiniest parts.   But it&#039;s just bogus, it&#039;s quackery.]]></description>

There&#039;s also an interesting phenomenon in place at this point.  In Dianetics &quot;reactive mind&quot; terms: A = A = A. 

The tech of Scientology = the Scientology organizations = David Miscavige. 

Point out his personal out-ethics and you&#039;re an SP attacking Scientology.  There&#039;s no nuance or middle ground.  Point out that an org is violating admin policy written by LRH (what, no musical chairs?  Shhh!)  and you&#039;re an SP attacking Scientology.  They&#039;re equal to, the same as, questioning whether Clear even exists.

Re-releasing the books and lectures with a big production about how all the alterations were removed, with his face at the forefront, really helps cement the association.  Here&#039;s the person who is number one in making sure we have the correct technology.

That has led to an illogical mindset that even thinking about DM in a less than a laudatory way means you&#039;re an enemy of &quot;the church&quot; (because he *is* the church, he *is* the technology, right?), and either need heavy ethics handling or an SP declare.]]></description>
