What a nightmare!!!
"
R-factors" were often the tiny invisible threads that allowed us all to be tied down in Gulliveresque fashion in the first place...
Reality factors. Whose reality? Everyone needs to L & N that one for themselves.
Once when I was already on OT VII, I was C/Sed to buy some intensives of "eligibility auditing". I didn't want to go near that because it felt like an abyss that I would fall into and never see daylight again.
I was called in for a D of P interview and given my C/S's factor: "If you don't get these intensives you are not going to make it!"
I was stunned. I am going to die? What???
I never did those intensives.
Last time I checked I was not dead.
Sure, someone can spin that to mean that I was "not going to make it" up the Bridge. But, every Scientologist knows what that means.
In writing this post, it occurred to me that there were "earlier similar" R-Factors that set the entire trap in motion.
R-Factors like KSW.
R-Factors like Clear, OT and Total Freedom.
Once you buy into the R-Factor, everything that happens after that is on auto-pilot.
The process of unwinding this mess is to undo those earliest foundational R-Factors from Scientology--and reclaim the power and majesty of one's own reality.
