Critical Q&A #311


This week, it’s answers about Xenu, Schrödinger’s Jesus, critical thinking and a whole lot more. Enjoy!

(1) What if a Sea Org member who is OT3 or higher said in an auditing session that they were Xenu in a past life? What would an auditor do? And what would you have done?

(2) I heard you mentioned that L Ron Hubbard said that Jesus was a criminal and a pedophile. I thought that all the Abrahamic and other religions were constructs that you were brainwashed with and therefore didn’t exist. So how could Jesus exist and not exist at the same time?

(3) You refer to yourself as “The Critical Thinker at Large” and to my satisfaction, after watching many of your videos, you are that. Would you have described yourself as a critical thinker while you were an active Scientologist? If so, why? If not, why not?

(4) Since Scientology’s confidential materials are so readily available online, I wonder if a PC can just look up cognitions for each level, say them almost exactly line for line during an auditing session and progress up the bridge incredibly quickly? I know that someone who has already went down the rabbit hole is unlikely to continue doing Scientology, but let’s say they use that knowledge to try to “cheat” their way into clear or even OT levels, would that be possible?

(5) On a recent live Q&A, you were wearing an Invader Zim t-shirt. I am curious: what has been your experience with that show? 

(6) I am currently listening to your podcast with LEAH and MIKE where you are discussing the RPF. Based on what you are saying it would appear that Sea Org members who are sent there are being given an opportunity to right whatever wrongs they have done and this is a way of redeeming one’s self. Therefore the question is do all of the people on the RPF feel that this is a good thing for them and they are very fortunate to be given this opportunity or do they see it the way the outside world sees it as a prison sentence?

(7) Who would win in a cage fight between Xenu and Darth Vader?
