"They must know how to kindle and fan an extravagent hope". - Eric Hoffer about the "true believer". "Total Freedom", "your eternity", and "OT" involve a few of the extravagant hopes in Scientology.

The "wogs won't understand, so you can't tell them the truth" is a bad indicator that Scientology is a destructive cult. The data keeps changing according to your audience, and (basically) how indoctrinated and under control they are...
I keep thinking of Jason Beghe and David Duchovny rolling in the grass unable to stop laughing or stand up after Jason describes OT III...
Please call me by my true names
so I can hear all my cries and laughs at once...

Yep, Grey Lensman. I agree. And the proof is- do all non Scn'ists "not understand"? Including the PHDs, the geniuses, the sharp cookies. So, the vast majority of all non Scn'ists "don't understand"- then something's wrong with da message.
