I can't see the pics above your clapping hands. Are they emoticons? GIFs? Linked pics? I just see 'x-ed out' boxes.

Er... well thank you for that however I feel you have been on the board long enough to realize this as one of ESMB's meme nameyfaggy type thingys and has been used extensively around the board. It neither is, nor was, directed at you, and if you read any of my posts, you may also realize that I do not go around insulting people, and I have no reason to insult you. It is a 'saying', that is all it is.

Uniquemand, I don't think testing Scientology would make it no longer Scientology. For example one could certainly do before and after psychometry with any scientifically proven psychometric test to see if the Grades improved somebody. Likewise with IQ testing.

I haven't surfed this board for long, but I haven't seen anyone complaining about the Grades. All complaints seem to be about the OT levels being unreal.

I have also seen a lot of stories of Sea Org members getting little gain from auditing and marvelled at how they could possibly have been sessionable – ever – given their lifestyle of little sleep and inadequate food.

What are sometimes called the "Implantology levels" are super-hyped. I've seen people go into their first OT 3 session, wet with an anxious cold sweat.

In the instructions, Hubbard states (paraphrasing), "The materials may seem unreal. This will pass when you see the reads (on the meter)."

"The meter will tell you."

And it does "tell" the person that it is real - provided that the person is caught up in the hype, and has been "set up" (not in a good sense) for the "Implantology" levels.

For a true Hubbardite the "upper (implantology) levels" are very real. They're "real" because of the hype; because he/she's been told the material is never before known ancient information, and vital-to-their-survival. And they're "real" because the "e-meter will tell them."

IMO, e-meters do have some limited valid uses; however, e-meters can also mislead, and be used to manipulate, particularly at the "upper levels."

thanks Zinj, the I-Ching explination makes sense.
positive/ negative + small, medium, large fall could make 8 combinations
and Waving Needle makes change values for 64 possible combinations/ " reads"

Well, I have to admit, first time someone said that to me I was like WHA??? Maybe it's the first time CGirl has bumped into that...Thing is, if you translate the acronym it's kind of out there. But as you say, it's a namefaggy thing and not meant to be taken literally.
