So!
What would happen if a Scientologist attended a gazing session?
ANSWER:
...
Da ... they would win.
Although they know all the other secrets of the universe, one of the super-secrets that Scientologists
don't know is that Dr. Hubbard could have presented them with virtually ANY regimen, routine or process and they would still have posted the same wins. This is entirely inconceivable to a Scientology, who swears that the magic is in Ron's "tech", not in their own mind's creative and/or delusory capability.
The hoax works thusly:
1. First, the Scientologists must be "briefed" on the miraculous outcome that is expected--so that they desire it, lest their life be "ruined".
2. Then the Scientologist must "study" the "science" of how the technology works before the session. This is called a "CS-1" in Scientology, where the PC pays to study (in session!) all of the wondrous phenomena which are expected to occur; including but not limited to: key outs, release, erasure, as-isness, cognitions, paranormal abilities, exteriorization, whole track recall, floating needles and a vast menu of other life-changing, joyous events.
3. Finally, comes the "process". It need not be a repetitive auditing command done on an e-meter. What if the "process" was, instead:
EXAMPLE: The PC being "audited" by a coach up through various levels of controlling their mind (e.g. "matter, energy, space and time on the first dynamic") by shooting arrows at a bullseye. There would be 7 levels of "release" which the apprentice archer would graduate through until full mastery of the reactive mind at level 7, at which time they would receive a standing ovation and a "CLEAR ARCHER" certificate. The "CLEAR" attest would be only after they could evidence that they can shoot three arrows in a row in the bullseye, showcasing the "scientific fact" that they had cleared their mind of all impediments.
Sound improbably ridiculous? LOL
Well, then how about I make up another example where people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and 10-20 years searching for and evicting evil spirits from their body, after which they confidently report that they have supernatural powers?
Scientology: If you think of the stupidest thing you can imagine, you would only be scratching the surface of "things that Scientologists actually believe".
