I'm fairly new here. I hope ive posted this in the right place. it's slightly different being on the otherside of the posts. . . (Writer rather than reader. or as you call it , "LURKER")
while I still have many connections to Scientology and scientologists, I consider myself "out". Though having friends and family still "in" make it damn near impossible to extricate myself completely.
And what if you run a business whose majority of customers are scientologists.
I can't see a way out. not yet. . .
but i have been thinking long and hard about the early days. . how i got involved. and wondering how so many years went by so fast. what possessed me? ? The common goal of the people surrounding me? the "instant" friendships?
going back a few years now - i remember reading dianetics for the first time.
i did find it "entertaining". i dont think i was convinced the first time through that all those wonderful things were possible.
but later on i was introduced to the Comm Course. That supposedly beheld gifts of communication i only dreamed of. . . now this got me interested. forget dianetics. this was real life stuff.
being slightly introverted and quiet, this was a dream come true. and the first of many courses at the local org. I had wins on the Comm Course.
I had fun doing it. although odd at times, i pushed those thoughts aside, hoping to better myself.
i still feel now that the Comm Course was my forbidden fruit. it got me. the hook was set with bait. and i happily ate it.
i wonder now,whether there is hypnosis involved on this course. . .?
maybe i actually had wins on this course. an addictive feeling which i'd lust after for years to come.. . .
Have you considered this yourself? ? i mean the comm course was pushed pretty heavily. do you think its rigged to hypnotise or help? or both?
i'm just trying to understand my thought processes from back then.
any thoughts or suggestions?
