FLAG Experience
"I want everybody in the universe to experience this." Ms. Kirstie
Alley, Solo NOTs auditor, Diamond Meritorious of the IAS and Founding
Member of the Super Power Expansion Project, was here at Flag for the
OT Summit and wanted to share her Flag experience with the readers of
Source magazine.
Spending the last few weeks here at Flag has been a completely life
-changing experience to say the least! I came here to do my six- month
Refresher on Solo NOTs, and I stayed for the OT Summit.
"I've had some amazing auditing while I've been here. "Add to that
being here for the OT Summit-that changed me as a being, 180
degrees. When I saw the scope of Flag and what the future of Flag
meant and the huge numbers of people who will come through these doors
and get their own auditing, or their own training to train others or
to audit others, I could see this huge theta machine.
"In what I've done in Scientology so far, I thought I'd already
achieved my wildest dreams. Add to that when I saw the OT Summit, this
took it up about a billion notches of what my wildest dreams would
entail. This opened the floodgates for me of creativity. It opened up
the magnitude of dreams and made them real for me.
"So this experience at Flag changed me totally. I can't say enough
about it, because I literally walked in the door of Flag four weeks
ago as one person, and I'm walking out an entirely different being,
and I mean ENTIRELY different.
My viewpoint on the fourth dynamic and mankind and other people
changed. You know, I liked animals more than people! OK, I liked
certain people, but the idea of mankind'-it really irritated
me!
"But since being here in the AO and receiving some incredible
auditing, combined with seeing the OT Summit, I started taking more
and more responsibility for mankind. Then I realized why mankind upset
me so much -it's because I wasn't taking responsibility!
"Now, I have genuine affinity for mankind and I'm up to taking genuine
responsibility for mankind. And when I saw the plans for this Mecca
and what it's going to be- it's the true definition of a Mecca. It's
going to be something spectacular.
"I've made decisions here, big, crazy, great, brilliant decisions here
about the magnitude I'm going to help this group and help this planet,
and it's real. And I attribute that to the OT Summit, I attribute it
to the auditing I've been doing here at Flag, and it's brilliant. I
want everybody in the universe to experience this.
Here's the way I honestly look at it, and I include myself in this:
The days of us saying 'They will handle it' are over.
We ARE they!
"It's Keeping Scientology Working: We are here on the same terms. What
does that mean? Do or die. I believe that when people are really dedicated
to something, they walk the walk. And it's not good enough any more to
decide you can't contribute as much as others; you're doing the best you
can... A, you're not doing the best you can, and B, you're not doing the
best you can - and C, you're not doing the best you can!
"We are NOT PTS to the middle class. We are NOT. The most important
things in life are not your car or your airplane -- and I think that
if you see these OT Summit events and this doesn't prove to you what
your responsibility level is, then you're an ostrich and your head is
buried in the sand.
"So pop the head out and look around and see what you need to
do. Contributions come in many forms. Someone said this to me about
five years ago and at the time I thought they were crazy-they said
that you should be spending ALL your time helping mankind. Once 1
wasn't PTS to the middle class any more, I realized, 'Wow, that's the
game! That really is true.' So I urge everyone to live up to your
full potential and really, really, really stretch and help."
