OT 3 - Scientologys "secret" course rewritten for beginners, by Jon Atack
According to Scientology theory, we are all multiple personalities made
up of hundreds of compacted extraterrestrial entities. We have
reincarnated for 75 million years since this happened to us all.
Scientology has claimed that this is a business trade secret...
There has been great controversy, and massive litigation, concerning the
Scientology cults once secret "Operating Thetan Section Three Course". To
save the brain strain of reading this purportedly lethal material in the
original Ronspeak, and to save any danger of litigation for violation of
copyright, this version is humbly tendered as a gift to mankind...
Scientologists believe that they have reincarnated from before the
beginning of time. They believe that many interplanetary civilizations
have existed. Hubbard restyled the spirit the "thetan". Before the
beginning of time, thetans existed, separate from one another (thetans
were not created they have existed for all time and indeed precede the
creation of time). With the creation of energy and matter, thetans have
gradually become trapped. The principal method of entrapment is through
"implanting", where the thetan is hypnotised and given positive
suggestions which limit its powers. This process, according to Hubbard has
been going on in this universe for four quadrillion Years
(4,000,000,000,000,000, rather than the mere 8-20,000,000 held by
astrophysicists). However, this is just one universe in a series of
several.
Scientology seeks to return the thetan's power by stripping away
implants and using drills to heighten extrasensory perception and ability.
The goal of these procedures is an "operating thetan" - a being who can
act independently of his physical body, and can cause physical events to
occur through sheer force of will. The "operating thetan" would be capable
of dismissing illness and psychological disorder in others at will.
The Scientologist generally undertakes hundreds of hours of preparation
prior to taking the first section of the Operating Thetan level courses -
OT 1 (a version of which is available on Karin Spainks homepage). OT 2
consists of over a hundred pages of handwritten lists of opposites, such
as "create - create no". These are supposedly the basic positive
suggestions from implants administered 75 million years ago. These
implants were part of the so-called OT 3 incident.
According to Hubbard, 75 million years ago, there was a confederation of
76 planets, including Earth. The "Galactic Confederation" (the title comes
from the science fiction of E.E. 'Doc' Smith), was ruled by Xenu (also
called "Xemu" by Hubbard). Overpopulation had become a serious problem,
which Xenu resolved by murdering many of the inhabitants of the
Confederation. Hubbard estimated that the 76 planets averaged 178 billion
people each. The people were killed and the thetans (or spirits) gathered,
frozen in a mixture of glycol and alcohol, and brought to Earth where they
were placed near volcanoes which were exploded with hydrogen bombs. The
thetans were gathered on "electronic ribbons", packaged together as
clusters and given 36 days of implanting, to render them servile and
incapable of decision. A cluster is a collection of body thetans
containing a leader and an "alternate" leader. The cluster conceives
itself to be an individual. According to OT 3, everyone on Earth is in
fact a collection of such clusters (Hubbard says that each person doing OT
3 will find "hundreds" of body thetans - many victims of this course
believe that they find millions).
On OT 3, the individual finds "body thetans" by locating any sensation
of pressure or mass in his or her body. This is addressed "telepathically"
as a cluster, and taken through the cluster-making incident of 75 million
years ago. Once this is done, the individual body thetans should be
available to be taken through either the same incident or the incident of
entry into this universe. This is called "incident one", and supposedly
occured four quadrillion years ago. This incident is described in the
materials as: "Loud snap - waves of light - chariot comes out, turns left
and right - cherub comes out - blows horn, comes close - shattering series
of snaps - cherub fades back (retreats) - blackness dumped on thetan."
Most scientologists are unaware of the true definition of "cherub".
The Scientologist spends days or years dealing with "body thetans" (I
have known two people who "audited" this procedure almost every day for
eleven years). Scientology materials of different dates assert that at
the end of OT 3 the individual will be "stably exterior" (from his body -
out of his head, it might be rephrased), free from "overwhelm" (i.e.,
nothing will ever overwhelm him emotionally again), and have total recall
of his entire round of incarnations from four quadrillion years ago to the
present. Secret materials seen only by those selling the course give the
"end phenomenon" as a "big win" urging that the person be put onto the
next course - where they pay by the hour - quickly.
Anyone who encounters this material without having undertaken
Scientology courses up to OT 2 will supposedly die from pneumonia.
OT 3 is of course in substantial disagreement with conventional geology.
Geologists hold that almost all of the volcanoes listed by Hubbard and
both Hawaii and Los Palmas came into being far more recently than 75
million years ago. On a simple point of logic, it seems strange that none
of these volcanoes was damaged by the explosion of the hydrogen bombs.
Hubbard was taking barbiturates and drinking heavily when he wrote this
material, according to letters he wrote at the time which are kept from
scientologists by the management of Scientology.
