Scientology Claims You Can Read A Book By Touching It

I got pitched to sign up for Scientology.

Scientology claims to be able to develop something they call superliteracy.

I asked what this is. I was told a "superliterate" person can read (as in, know the contents) of a book just by touching it.

I asked for a demonstration. The Scieftologist whipped out a copy of Dianetics. I said, no, let's try a book I'm sure you have not read.

I just happened to have with me a copy of Emerick and Carper's "Clojure" (a book about the "Clojure" programming language). I said, here, try this.

The Scientologist laid hands on the book, one hand on each cover. The Scieftologist rotated the book, even managed to get it to flip open a couple of times.

It was like watching a bad magician.

The Scientologist said, well, it is a book about computer programming, using a language called Clojure.

I said, that's right, now, what does the book say about imperative and functional programming?



The Scieftologist said it was not a fair test because of the nature of the book. I said, well you didn't say that, and this is an O'Reilly book, they are well written, and often require little if any prerequisite information.

The Scieftologist made a final, feeble, attempt to sell me something called the "Key to Life" course, and was then sent packing.

And, just so you know, Scientology is tax-exempt.

I was classified a superliterate after many years of "clearing" in Scientology.

Once I leaned on a magazine rack that contained several thousand adult porn titles. When I finally woke up years later I was somehow CEO of a fortune 500 company and a devout Mormon with 14 children.

I saw Xenu, man.

That would be a funny story if it were true. The Primary Rundown is designed to help people read, write, and study more efficiently, but we can't Touch Assist books.
The Scientology baiting on this board is very entertaining!

This entire thread is chock full of copyright violations and defamation. I'm hiring the Leiser Law Firm to sue all of you.

Clear is a finite state. It does exist as a finite state. It is an ultimate and it is an absolute.

I'd always wondered why they happened to pick Clearwater, FL, as their global headquarters. But suddenly it makes sense! A city with 'clear' right in its name has obviously attained clearness, or clarity, or whatever they might call it.

No thetans in THAT city!

No, Clearwater was chosen to be the Flag Land Base because that is where the Sea Org transitioned from a maritime force to a land based organization.


Next time you are in Clearwater, check out the Super Power Building!

Clear is a finite state. It does exist as a finite state. It is an ultimate and it is an absolute.

After you get CLEAR you can see through walls, read book without opening them. And more complete bullshit.

Read your own religious material. Make sure to pay for it first, or you could get very very sick.

Duh!

That's the reason a joined Scientology. I love reading books by touch.

When Borders Books puts the best sellers out in front for displays we read them all in seconds. Why do think book stores are going out of business?

Gangs have a "drive by"... in Scientology we call it a "read by."

the scientology cult must really "need" more people and money, they even advertise on Craigslist with titles like "relationship help" "depression support group" and the ever popular "free personality test"

how are they not rich with all the celebrity members anyway? Teeheeheee...

NEW OT VIII
STUDY AND PROCEDURE DEBRIEF
1991
From recall this is a record of the full OT VIII procedure of the Church of Scientology given on the Free Winds ship as delivered in 1991. Security there is very tight with detectors at the doors so that no original data can be removed. This debrief is something the Independent Field/Free Zone Scientology has been waiting many years to see. It is not the original nor is it a perfect record but it is accurate and will get the result if followed by a competent solo auditor who is flat on all earlier levels with all overts off. The wording of the processes are exact to the best of my recall and the procedures are exact for sure. Any differences are extremely minor (if at all). I spent several weeks reconstruct- ing all this from memory (needless to say I have an excellent memory as a result of the rundown). I am breaking security as I disagree that this should only be released to an elite in Scientology. I do, however, ask it not be released to psyches or “squirrels” or anyone who will break the Independent Security Network and allow it to get back to the Church of Scientology. It would be best if they do not find out that we have it. Please treat this data responsibly. It is the key to the only truth possible.
The whole secret involves what truly is the relationship of the Supreme Being to each individual thetan. To simply say it’s “me” is oversimplified to tears but has some truth to it. The real key is the perception and ability to have full certainty and, therefore, perception on all confusions and distortions of MEST and form and life units as well as the ability to perceive exact identity and its full relationship to its true source and history from its origin as the theta body, the true 8th Dynamic In order to truly view this as a present time beingness one has to clean up, once and for all, his own confusions regarding these points. The key is being flat on all earlier levels and being honest with self as to the truth on each step of the rundown.
In doing this procedure one has to acknowledge the lie of time and persistance and the lie of the illusion that MEST is solid and unchangable. Another key given is the fact that a being can exist independent of time and present time and can choose any point on the track as his present time. The PT body can confuse this, as attention to some degree is always hung up on the PT body. This fixes the thetan into one present time and one time stream when in fact there are many as you will discover.
Do not attempt this rundown if you are incomplete on any earlier level, incomplete on or in need of “sec checks,” involved in any out ethics, PTS or involved in any pressing PT situations that call your attention back to this present time. If you are in need of review on any point above, get it before starting the rundown or it will miss and be meaningless or wasted.
If your attention is in any way governed by OT 7 (NOTS) or earlier materials on OT levels, this rundown will miss and be wasted. This also goes for out int. If int/ext is a concern at all, get reviewed and flattened on OT 1 to 7 before attempting this rundown.
The techniques involve simple spotting techniques as in R2 processes or straightwire references.

...cont'd.


Read and word clear Handbook for Preclears cover to cover.
Do all steps and exercises in the above book and note reads on any terminals or items [presumably these are used in review or higher levels later]. Keep the ruds in.
Listen to the History of Man tapes and star rate M4 the concepts in them (The Time Track of Theta).
Clear the definition of “truth” and clay demo it [Tech Dictionary].
Clay demo the concept of the theta line branching out toward PT from the “theta body” and how this inhibits exteriorization, ability, power and perception of truth. Clay demo what will happen if someone did OT VIII procedure who was not fully completed on OT VII (NOTS). Sort this out from the above data.
Define “know-point” in the Tech Dictionary.
Study the early Dianetic Auditor Bulletin on straightwire in Tech Volume One. Study Creation of Human Ability references regarding spotting objectively and subjectively. Demo “recall,” “spotting” and “return” and how these differ.
This is the processing section which is done solo. Do not fall into running pictures or incidents. In others words, do not use “recall” or “return,” use “spot” only.
Fly the ruds.
Clear and false data strip “truth,” “identity,” “time,” “place,” “form” and “event,” each to EP. Restudy the definitions in the Tech Dictionary.
Clear and False Data Strip the “8th Dynamic,” “God,” “Infinity,” “self,” anyone you have identified as a god and any other wording you may have for the 8th dynamic.
Valence split (Similarity/Difference process) each answer on the reading questions below by alternately spotting differences and similarities be- tween self and the terminal to a blow accompanied by a small blowdown F/N or larger.
Spot a person or object in this L/T or on the backtrack you have identified as or who represented the 8th Dynamic to you. Valence split to EP and then recheck to an F/Ning question on call or thought. End the session for the day and recheck to ensure it’s F/Ning the next day before continuing.
Spot a person who looked/looks like you. Handle as above.
Spot a person who looked/looks dissimilar to you. Handle as above. Spot a person who is how you wanted/want to be. Handle as above.

End on major stable win on the subject audited; however, do Step 10 before proceeding.
Use alternate repetitive straightwire.
End on wins. End section when nothing reads anymore and you have a major stable win.
Spot a truth in self. Spot a truth in others.
Have another spot a truth in you.
Have another spot a truth in himself/herself.
Spot a reality you have solved with a lie. Spot a reality you have not solved with a lie.

No wonder libturdz like Scientology. Reading by touch is similar to how libs pass laws. Take obamacare, the infamous failure of legislation that all democrats touched but didn't read it. Like Pelosi said, we have to pass it to know what's in it.

Libturdz! LOL!

a good librarian can tell you %95 of a books index and %90 of it's content by merely knowing the title ... and tell you where the book is
