2012 is only four short years away though.

My understanding of how Scientology works is that you re-experience all your past traumas until they become "neutral" memories with no emotional charge. Once those past traumas stop exerting a voodoo vibe hold over you, you are then free to achieve your goals without sabotaging yourself.
Seems reasonable.

I read somewhere that Hubbard took Aleister Crowley's OTO rituals and turned them around backwards from how they should be set up. I don't know what that means but it sounds interesting.

When do the drums kick in?

When there's about a minute left.

I understand much less about this cult than I did before I started watching this video. The man is totally incoherent.

Can't say for sure, but I'll bet that part of why it seems like he can't form a thought is a combination of him still having some ADD going on, just being a scatterbrain in the first place, and also that there was a person asking him questions. Without the questions, and the way it's been edited, it seems like he's just a raving cuckoo. I have to assume this was done for some reason.

Yeah, that was pretty weird though. Not sure why that would make someone want to join. Maybe the idea that Scientology can take a scatterbrain cuckoo like this guy and make him into one of the most recognizable, and maybe "successful", people in the modern world? It didn't really do that for me. But maybe it has that effect on some folks?

Great video. Four thumbs up!

It's from 1995, BTW.

I kept waiting for him to say

"RESPECT the COCK."

What was all that ghostly mist at the bottom of the screen that kept appearing and disappearing?

The ghost of L. Ron Hubbard.

OT VIII Scientologists like Cruise can fart aromatherapy. I believe that was "Ocean Breeze".

It went just like, "poof."

Is the soft Mission Impossible music in the back added in by whoever got this on YouTube or was it really part of the video?
