00:02:28,440 [Music] 43 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:32,140 I'm Ryan Sprague in this is somewhere in 44 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:34,730 the skies Scientology 45 00:02:39,070 --> 00:02:37,250 one of the most successful new American 46 00:02:42,010 --> 00:02:39,080 faiths to have emerged in the past 47 00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:42,020 century at its core it is a belief that 48 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:44,510 each human has a reactive mind that 49 00:02:49,330 --> 00:02:47,450 responds to life's traumas clouding the 50 00:02:52,270 --> 00:02:49,340 analytic mind and keeping us from 51 00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:52,280 experiencing reality members of the 52 00:02:57,190 --> 00:02:54,560 religion submit to a process called 53 00:03:00,370 --> 00:02:57,200 auditing to find the sources of this 54 00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:00,380 trauma reliving those experiences in an 55 00:03:06,310 --> 00:03:02,840 attempt to neutralize them and reassert 56 00:03:09,210 --> 00:03:06,320 the primacy of the analytic mind working 57 00:03:11,770 --> 00:03:09,220 toward a spiritual state called clear as 58 00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:11,780 you climb the bridge to spiritual 59 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:13,760 freedom you pledge allegiance to the 60 00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:16,250 church above all else working towards 61 00:03:21,610 --> 00:03:18,760 helping mankind and awakening the world 62 00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:21,620 but somewhere along the way it became 63 00:03:27,490 --> 00:03:24,110 very clear that this church was hiding 64 00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:27,500 very dark and disturbing stories behind 65 00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:29,840 the walls of its international churches 66 00:03:34,990 --> 00:03:32,720 and as time progressed more and more 67 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:35,000 members began to speak out about its 68 00:03:41,250 --> 00:03:37,850 wrongdoings and practices and the 69 00:03:44,610 --> 00:03:41,260 results have been absolutely terrifying 70 00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:44,620 today we hear from ex member Joey cheat 71 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:47,390 born into the religion by his devout 72 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:48,050 parents 73 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:50,570 Joey became one of Scientology's most 74 00:03:56,050 --> 00:03:53,570 prominent members and then it all came 75 00:04:00,310 --> 00:03:56,060 crashing down when he decided to leave 76 00:04:02,410 --> 00:04:00,320 the church and it wasn't easy today Joey 77 00:04:05,260 --> 00:04:02,420 runs us through how it all began for him 78 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:05,270 he also breaks down the religion for us 79 00:04:11,410 --> 00:04:08,330 it's strange creation story what he 80 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:11,420 endured in and outside of the church and 81 00:04:18,159 --> 00:04:14,450 just exactly why he left and is urging

00:05:43,360 getting ahead of myself here so I talked 116 00:05:48,029 --> 00:05:45,369 to one of my fellow employees and they'd 117 00:05:50,009 --> 00:05:48,039 informed me that you were a former 118 00:05:53,009 --> 00:05:50,019 member of the Church of Scientology and 119 00:05:55,619 --> 00:05:53,019 I was like oh my god I was like I would 120 00:05:58,739 --> 00:05:55,629 love to interview him I I've never 121 00:06:01,619 --> 00:05:58,749 spoken to a in ex-scientologists before 122 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:01,629 so I was really excited to talk to you a 123 00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:03,849 little nervous I'm not gonna lie but 124 00:06:09,899 --> 00:06:06,489 after actually meeting you I was like 125 00:06:12,359 --> 00:06:09,909 he's he's just a normal guy who was a 126 00:06:15,239 --> 00:06:12,369 part of this thing so thank you again 127 00:06:17,999 --> 00:06:15,249 for doing this and for ostensibly 128 00:06:19,769 --> 00:06:18,009 telling us stories that a lot of us 129 00:06:21,419 --> 00:06:19,779 don't know about things that have 130 00:06:24,809 --> 00:06:21,429 happened in the church and whatnot so 131 00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:24,819 again there's our origin story but I got 132 00:06:29,729 --> 00:06:27,759 to ask you man what is your your origin 133 00:06:32,699 --> 00:06:29,739 story how did you get involved with 134 00:06:35,459 --> 00:06:32,709 Scientology there's a big misconception 135 00:06:37,619 --> 00:06:35,469 out there of oh these people are so 136 00:06:39,419 --> 00:06:37,629 stupid if they're recruited into this 137 00:06:42,509 --> 00:06:39,429 religion but it was a lot different for 138 00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:42,519 you so how'd this all start well I was 139 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:43,329 born into it 140 00:06:46,010 --> 00:06:43,810 I 141 00:06:48,180 --> 00:06:46,020 a what they call a second-generation 142 00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:48,190 Scientologist so my parents got into it 143 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:50,800 back in the 70s in the early 70s before 144 00:06:55,770 --> 00:06:53,530 I was born and they got suckered into it 145 00:06:56,970 --> 00:06:55,780 and then by the time I was born and by 146 00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:56,980 the time my two younger brothers were 147 00:07:02,520 --> 00:06:58,450 born they were already fully 148 00:07:04,409 --> 00:07:02,530 indoctrinated into Scientology so I it 149 00:07:06,060 --> 00:07:04,419 was basically the religion that I was 150 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:06,070 raised with I didn't really have a 151 00:07:11,310 --> 00:07:07,570 choice in the matter 152 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:11,320 they they did which was stupid so I I 153 00:07:15,030 --> 00:07:13,450 ended up suffering for their mistakes 154 00:07:17,219 --> 00:07:15,040 which most kids do especially when it 155 00:07:20,159 --> 00:07:17,229 comes to religions or cults absolutely I 156 00:07:22,890 --> 00:07:20,169 mean we can all let s you know whether I 157 00:07:25,469 --> 00:07:22,900 mean I was born and raised Roman 158 00:07:27,810 --> 00:07:25,479 Catholic and I also had no choice in the 159 00:07:30,060 --> 00:07:27,820 matter and right the the older you get 160 00:07:32,730 --> 00:07:30,070 that's when you sort of you know it's 161 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:32,740 either sink or swim do I keep going or 162 00:07:37,740 --> 00:07:35,770 or what you know there's a lot of 163 00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:37,750 pressure when you're a young kid growing 164 00:07:43,710 --> 00:07:40,720 up in a religion as I'm sure it was with 165 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:43,720 this as well whether it is a cult or not 166 00:07:48,779 --> 00:07:46,570 so yeah I mean I I did ask for listener 167 00:07:51,150 --> 00:07:48,789 questions for this episode and a lot of 168 00:07:54,750 --> 00:07:51,160 people are like how could you how could 169 00:07:56,190 --> 00:07:54,760 you join this this religion like after 170 00:07:59,610 --> 00:07:56,200 everything we've learned how could 171 00:08:02,580 --> 00:07:59,620 someone join and I I answered that for 172 00:08:04,050 --> 00:08:02,590 you on your behalf saying he was born 173 00:08:06,180 --> 00:08:04,060 into it so a lot of people don't ya have 174 00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:06,190 that choice so and I didn't have that 175 00:08:10,409 --> 00:08:08,080 choice unfortunately and the thing that 176 00:08:12,510 --> 00:08:10,419 a lot of people don't realize about 177 00:08:15,150 --> 00:08:12,520 Scientology is that every facet of your 178 00:08:17,940 --> 00:08:15,160 life especially when you're in the 179 00:08:20,129 --> 00:08:17,950 family of Scientologists and from a 180 00:08:22,620 --> 00:08:20,139 famous Scientology family who donated a 181 00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:22,630 lot of money everything is already 182 00:08:27,090 --> 00:08:25,120 decided for you and you don't really 183 00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:27,100 have a choice whether it has to do with 184 00:08:32,490 --> 00:08:29,889 your finances your personal life your 185 00:08:37,230 --> 00:08:32,500 work everything surrounds the Church of 186 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:37,240 Scientology and when you grow up in a in 187 00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:39,370 a in a in a sort of environment like 188 00:08:42,690 --> 00:08:41,409 that you get brainwashed and that's 189 00:08:46,769 --> 00:08:42,700 exactly what happens to me and you 190 00:08:48,530 --> 00:08:46,779 become so brainwashed into thinking like 191 00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:48,540 they do and talking like they do 192 00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:50,560 Scientologists have their own language 193 00:08:55,829 --> 00:08:52,990 we have abbreviations for everything 194 00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:55,839 Hubbard I believe was a very dyslexic 195 00:09:01,530 --> 00:08:57,760 and uneducated man and 196 00:09:04,290 --> 00:09:01,540 he takes he love to take regular English 197 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:04,300 words and put weird twists on them to 198 00:09:08,910 --> 00:09:06,730 make them mean different things so like 199 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:08,920 I will be talking in my Scientology 200 00:09:14,490 --> 00:09:11,890 speak to like my my fiance Michael and 201 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:14,500 I'll say something a regular English 202 00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:16,090 word and he'll look at me and be like 203 00:09:19,770 --> 00:09:17,500 I'm sorry wait what did you just say 204 00:09:21,330 --> 00:09:19,780 because it because it's not real English 205 00:09:24,510 --> 00:09:21,340 it grammatically doesn't make any sense 206 00:09:27,390 --> 00:09:24,520 so after I started you know sort of 207 00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:27,400 waking up and realizing that Scientology 208 00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:29,380 was complete and utter I had to 209 00:09:32,940 --> 00:09:31,180 relearn the language and like actually 210 00:09:35,010 --> 00:09:32,950 learn what the actual definitions of 211 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:35,020 some of these regular words mean so 212 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:39,010 that's how that's how how how I guess 213 00:09:41,970 --> 00:09:40,210 through I guess the right word is 214 00:09:43,710 --> 00:09:41,980 brainwash you just get so indoctrinated 215 00:09:45,780 --> 00:09:43,720 into the thing you'd have to literally 216 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:45,790 wake up and pull yourself out of it it's 217 00:09:50,580 --> 00:09:48,730 crazy yeah so I mean would you would you 218 00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:50,590 consider that then like a deep 219 00:09:55,020 --> 00:09:52,510 programming we hear about this a lot 220 00:09:58,530 --> 00:09:55,030 when people are brainwashed in in what 221 00:10:01,170 --> 00:09:58,540 is considered cults you how long did it 222 00:10:03,540 --> 00:10:01,180 take to really I guess it's a gear 223 00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:03,550 Graham yourself years years years years 224 00:10:08,220 --> 00:10:06,790 it it wasn't a thing and one of the 225 00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:08,230 biggest questions that people ask me is 226 00:10:11,820 --> 00:10:10,240 like when was that aha moment or when 227 00:10:14,850 --> 00:10:11,830 was that moment when you woke up and I'm 228 00:10:17,730 --> 00:10:14,860 like there wasn't really an exact moment 229 00:10:21,570 --> 00:10:17,740 it's sort of like it's like a slow burn 230 00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:21,580 it takes years of just I'm just slowly 231 00:10:25,170 --> 00:10:23,200 coming out of it and then slowly 232 00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:25,180 realizing it and then eventually you get 233 00:10:30,450 --> 00:10:28,270 to the point where you're I I it it it's 234 00:10:32,430 --> 00:10:30,460 almost like climbing over a fence except 235 00:10:34,110 --> 00:10:32,440 just very very slowly it takes a while 236 00:10:35,610 --> 00:10:34,120 you got to climb up one by one and then 237 00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:35,620 you get to the top and then you slowly 238 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:36,640 come down the other side 239 00:10:41,790 --> 00:10:39,010 but eventually I made it there thank God 240 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:41,800 exactly I'm so happy that we're having 241 00:10:48,810 --> 00:10:44,610 this conversation today too 242 00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:48,820 well I mean okay so I don't know how 243 00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:50,710 anyone couldn't really know what 244 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:52,870 Scientology is at this point you know 245 00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:54,490 the glory of the internet the glory of 246 00:10:59,940 --> 00:10:58,210 television but for anyone who might not 247 00:11:03,300 --> 00:10:59,950 be too familiar Joey I'm going to sort 248 00:11:06,180 --> 00:11:03,310 of ask you could you give us kind of the 249 00:11:08,370 --> 00:11:06,190 rundown of what Scientology is you 250 00:11:10,380 --> 00:11:08,380 mentioned Hubbard's so who started it in 251 00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:10,390 kind of the overall mission of the 252 00:11:13,020 --> 00:11:11,470 religion maybe 253 00:11:16,530 --> 00:11:13,030 I I don't know if that's even possible 254 00:11:20,250 --> 00:11:16,540 to do in like no in elevator pitch but 255 00:11:23,730 --> 00:11:20,260 yeah please I can give you the the the 256 00:11:25,740 --> 00:11:23,740 quick two minute version so a guy named 257 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:25,750 l ron Hubbard who was a science fiction 258 00:11:32,430 --> 00:11:30,130 writer he wrote a ton of work in the 259 00:11:34,110 --> 00:11:32,440 1930s and the 1940s mostly science 260 00:11:36,620 --> 00:11:34,120 fiction stuff and then in the 1950s 261 00:11:39,570 --> 00:11:36,630 actually I believe it was in 1950 he 262 00:11:41,610 --> 00:11:39,580 wrote a book called Dianetics actually 263 00:11:43,410 --> 00:11:41,620 the full name of the book is Dianetics 264 00:11:46,020 --> 00:11:43,420 the modern science of mental health and 265 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:46,030 basically what he had discovered I used 266 00:11:52,050 --> 00:11:49,330 that term loosely he discovered that all 267 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:52,060 human beings have something called a 268 00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:54,610 reactive mind so there's two parts of 269 00:11:56,910 --> 00:11:56,320 your mind there's the analytical side of 270 00:11:59,460 --> 00:11:56,920 your mind 271 00:12:01,290 --> 00:11:59,470 which is the normal one and again it 272 00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:01,300 solves problems and and it does good 273 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:02,440 things for you and then there's the 274 00:12:05,310 --> 00:12:03,730 other side of your mind which is called 275 00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:05,320 the reactive mind that stores all of 276 00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:09,280 your bad memories pain painful memories 277 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:10,630 times that you were unconscious 278 00:12:14,460 --> 00:12:12,970 sicknesses and stuff like that and that 279 00:12:17,310 --> 00:12:14,470 was the thing that was causing all of 280 00:12:19,890 --> 00:12:17,320 your diseases so basically Dianetics is 281 00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:19,900 when the mind heals the body so because 282 00:12:24,420 --> 00:12:22,240 you have a cold or because you have bad 283 00:12:27,420 --> 00:12:24,430 eyesight or because you have cancer or 284 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:27,430 whatever the ailment could be you use 285 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:31,330 the technology of Dianetics to cure the 286 00:12:35,610 --> 00:12:32,890 problem from your mind 287 00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:35,620 which will then in turn heal the body so 288 00:12:39,420 --> 00:12:37,300 he's so he started this and it was kind 289 00:12:41,850 --> 00:12:39,430 of a fad in the 1950s and then he 290 00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:41,860 realized a couple of years after he 291 00:12:45,450 --> 00:12:44,110 wrote Dianetics he was like well you 292 00:12:48,540 --> 00:12:45,460 know the best way to go about this is to 293 00:12:51,150 --> 00:12:48,550 start a religion he would get tax-exempt 294 00:12:52,830 --> 00:12:51,160 status and people like the medical field 295 00:12:54,510 --> 00:12:52,840 and like the American Psychiatric 296 00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:54,520 Association that were coming after him 297 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:56,320 saying you guys are ridiculous Dianetics 298 00:12:59,490 --> 00:12:57,610 doesn't actually work 299 00:13:01,170 --> 00:12:59,500 so he was like well I'm just gonna start 300 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:01,180 a religion and say that it's you know a 301 00:13:05,820 --> 00:13:03,850 church so they can't come after me for 302 00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:05,830 medical malpractice or medical fraud so 303 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:08,710 that's when he started Scientology so he 304 00:13:12,870 --> 00:13:10,450 continued with his Scientology writings 305 00:13:14,940 --> 00:13:12,880 and he's written thousands upon 306 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:14,950 thousands upon thousands of pages and 307 00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:18,370 done thousands of hours of lectures on 308 00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:20,560 the subject of dealing with Scientology 309 00:13:25,110 --> 00:13:23,200 which has to do not with the mind like 310 00:13:25,319 --> 00:13:25,120 Dianetics did but Scientology has to do 311 00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:25,329 with 312 00:13:33,539 --> 00:13:28,720 soul or the spirit so he created this 313 00:13:35,309 --> 00:13:33,549 whole series of practices or things that 314 00:13:37,819 --> 00:13:35,319 you do Scientology really isn't a belief 315 00:13:42,289 --> 00:13:37,829 system it's something that you do it's a 316 00:13:44,249 --> 00:13:42,299 it's an applied religious philosophy so 317 00:13:46,049 --> 00:13:44,259 Scientologists do things like they go 318 00:13:48,509 --> 00:13:46,059 study courses where they learn about 319 00:13:50,549 --> 00:13:48,519 what Hubbard wrote what he says are like 320 00:13:51,989 --> 00:13:50,559 the factors for life or improving your 321 00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:51,999 relationships and getting along with 322 00:13:55,199 --> 00:13:53,110 others and then they do this thing 323 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:55,209 called auditing auditing is that is the 324 00:14:00,030 --> 00:13:57,730 Scientology term for for basically for 325 00:14:03,689 --> 00:14:00,040 therapy and Hubbard wrote these very 326 00:14:06,030 --> 00:14:03,699 exact and very detailed auditing he 327 00:14:07,650 --> 00:14:06,040 calls them processes or a process so 328 00:14:10,379 --> 00:14:07,660 there's these auditing processes that 329 00:14:13,169 --> 00:14:10,389 you do and the purpose of it they say is 330 00:14:14,910 --> 00:14:13,179 to help obviously get get rid of your 331 00:14:17,429 --> 00:14:14,920 reactive mind and get rid of all of 332 00:14:19,410 --> 00:14:17,439 these negative emotions and negative 333 00:14:21,780 --> 00:14:19,420 things so that you can live a happier 334 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:21,790 and better life and when you put it like 335 00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:23,970 that it doesn't sound so bad necessarily 336 00:14:29,189 --> 00:14:27,279 but in reality it's much much more 337 00:14:31,169 --> 00:14:29,199 insidious than it then it appears on the 338 00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:31,179 surface so that's the basic that's the 339 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:33,249 basic gist of it in a nutshell right 340 00:14:38,340 --> 00:14:36,730 yeah and you know that as you're saying 341 00:14:41,850 --> 00:14:38,350 that I I'm thinking to myself that's 342 00:14:44,489 --> 00:14:41,860 actually not too bad of an idea I mean 343 00:14:46,139 --> 00:14:44,499 it's not it's not and they want and they 344 00:14:47,819 --> 00:14:46,149 always say like well we want to we want 345 00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:47,829 to help people we want to help people 346 00:14:52,739 --> 00:14:49,600 you know do better in life and their 347 00:14:54,539 --> 00:14:52,749 whole purpose is to save the planet or 348 00:14:56,759 --> 00:14:54,549 save the humans on this planet because 349 00:15:00,419 --> 00:14:56,769 if once they get enough Scientologist 350 00:15:02,879 --> 00:15:00,429 into Scientology and up the Scientology 351 00:15:04,289 --> 00:15:02,889 levels eventually they say that there 352 00:15:05,129 --> 00:15:04,299 would be no more wars no more 353 00:15:07,350 --> 00:15:05,139 criminality 354 00:15:09,210 --> 00:15:07,360 no more insanity everything will be nice 355 00:15:11,579 --> 00:15:09,220 and shiny and happy and wonderful and 356 00:15:12,749 --> 00:15:11,589 and then people who oppose them they say 357 00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:12,759 well these are the purposes of 358 00:15:16,530 --> 00:15:14,049 Scientology how could you argue with 359 00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:16,540 that do not want a world without without 360 00:15:22,769 --> 00:15:19,600 criminality and without war so it's it's 361 00:15:26,009 --> 00:15:22,779 it's a it's it's a pretty sick system 362 00:15:28,199 --> 00:15:26,019 they have no right and again and we'll 363 00:15:31,850 --> 00:15:28,209 get deeper into like the whole process 364 00:15:34,489 --> 00:15:31,860 and kind of the almost hijacking of 365 00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:34,499 Hubbard's original intent for all this 366 00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:37,600 but this is really interesting when I 367 00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:38,990 first moved to New York Joey 368 00:15:44,769 --> 00:15:42,110 I am I flier on the streets of Times 369 00:15:46,449 --> 00:15:44,779 Square for like two and a half years so 370 00:15:48,850 --> 00:15:46,459 I literally was out there eight hours a 371 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:48,860 day handing out flyers to Broadway shows 372 00:15:52,810 --> 00:15:51,290 comedy clubs restaurant sure whatever 373 00:15:55,449 --> 00:15:52,820 they wanted me to do I was out there I 374 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:55,459 love the job I honestly did it was like 375 00:16:00,100 --> 00:15:57,290 the best paying job I ever had because 376 00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:00,110 what idiot would stand outside fifty 377 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:03,230 hours a week and eat out flyers but what 378 00:16:07,660 --> 00:16:05,570 was really interesting is I met a guy 379 00:16:10,060 --> 00:16:07,670 while I was out there and we actually 380 00:16:12,430 --> 00:16:10,070 became like pretty close like really 381 00:16:14,740 --> 00:16:12,440 good friends and we we talked a lot 382 00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:14,750 about our family together and like our 383 00:16:19,810 --> 00:16:17,600 relationship problems or what have you 384 00:16:22,090 --> 00:16:19,820 and it was cool to like go to work and 385 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:22,100 have someone that camaraderie like he 386 00:16:25,690 --> 00:16:23,570 was doing his thing I was doing mine 387 00:16:27,610 --> 00:16:25,700 handing out flyers and he was handing 388 00:16:29,710 --> 00:16:27,620 out something else and it actually took 389 00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:29,720 me a while to realize he was a 390 00:16:35,790 --> 00:16:32,240 horologist and he was hitting these 391 00:16:38,949 --> 00:16:35,800 flyers to see a free movie at the 392 00:16:41,019 --> 00:16:38,959 Manhattan Church of Scientology and what 393 00:16:44,410 --> 00:16:41,029 was really interesting is he and I were 394 00:16:47,250 --> 00:16:44,420 close and I I kind of like watch the 395 00:16:50,860 --> 00:16:47,260 people that he would approach and I 396 00:16:52,990 --> 00:16:50,870 noticed trends in like the demographics 397 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:53,000 of the people that he would stop and get 398 00:16:56,410 --> 00:16:55,250 to go watch this free movie and at that 399 00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:56,420 time I didn't really know what 400 00:17:00,670 --> 00:16:58,880 Scientology was I didn't know how the 401 00:17:02,590 --> 00:17:00,680 whole intricate system to everything I'm 402 00:17:04,090 --> 00:17:02,600 like oh that's you know whatever you 403

of like the the 406 00:17:14,590 --> 00:17:12,770 people that he would get to do it and it 407 00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:14,600 it always sort of seemed to be the same 408 00:17:20,260 --> 00:17:18,110 so I wanted to ask you do you know for 409 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:20,270 like these type of people the recruiters 410 00:17:25,059 --> 00:17:22,850 on the streets is there like a protocol 411 00:17:27,939 --> 00:17:25,069 for who they try to recruit is there 412 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:27,949 like yeah oh yeah grand way to get 413 00:17:34,780 --> 00:17:30,770 certain people into this religion yeah 414 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:34,790 well first of all the the job title of 415 00:17:38,380 --> 00:17:36,410 those people that stand out on the 416 00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:38,390 streets they do that here there's that 417 00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:40,630 big Scientology blue building boomlet 418 00:17:45,490 --> 00:17:44,030 Boulevard yeah the big blue they have a 419 00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:45,500 ton of people out there that are handing 420 00:17:48,850 --> 00:17:46,910 out flyers and they're trying to get you 421 00:17:50,650 --> 00:17:48,860 to take their stupid personality test or 422 00:17:52,450 --> 00:17:50,660 come in and see the movie those guys 423 00:17:55,660 --> 00:17:52,460 their job title is 424 00:17:58,450 --> 00:17:55,670 called a body router they literally are 425 00:18:00,700 --> 00:17:58,460 instructed to take people's bodies and 426 00:18:03,610 --> 00:18:00,710 bring them in because the statistic and 427 00:18:05,050 --> 00:18:03,620 Scientology when the new person comes in 428 00:18:07,180 --> 00:18:05,060 the door to take a course or to get 429 00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:07,190 auditing it's called bodies in the shop 430 00:18:13,630 --> 00:18:10,370 so the body so that so the body routers 431 00:18:15,730 --> 00:18:13,640 that's their entire job and they 432 00:18:19,540 --> 00:18:15,740 definitely go for a very specific type 433 00:18:21,820 --> 00:18:19,550 of person and in Scientology Hubbard 434 00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:21,830 once said that Scientology's purpose is 435 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:25,370 to make the able more able so they don't 436 00:18:29,890 --> 00:18:28,490 want someone who isn't able basically 437 00:18:31,180 --> 00:18:29,900 what that means is that they want 438 00:18:32,980 --> 00:18:31,190 someone who looks like they have money 439 00:18:34,810 --> 00:18:32,990 they want someone that looks like they 440 00:18:35,860 --> 00:18:34,820 might be affluent someone that looks 441 00:18:38,140 --> 00:18:35,870 like they've got their together 442 00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:38,150 they don't want to deal with people who 443 00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:39,710 are mentally ill they don't want to deal 444 00:18:45,010 --> 00:18:42,130 with people who look like they're poor 445 00:18:46,330 --> 00:18:45,020 so that is sort of the thing that 446 00:18:49,570 --> 00:18:46,340 they're looking for they're looking for 447 00:18:52,690 --> 00:18:49,580 that for able-bodied people that can 448 00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:52,700 come in and I think that that the reason 449 00:18:56,110 --> 00:18:54,080 for that is because they don't want to 450 00:18:57,490 --> 00:18:56,120 have any problems with you know someone 451 00:19:00,100 --> 00:18:57,500 coming in and having a psychotic break 452 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:00,110 which has happened or people who are 453 00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:02,450 sick or dying or someone who doesn't 454 00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:04,130 have money there's no purpose for them 455 00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:05,840 to do Scientology because if they can't 456 00:19:10,420 --> 00:19:08,390 pay for the courses they don't want them 457 00:19:14,290 --> 00:19:10,430 right at all and we'll get to that the 458 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:14,300 paying part for sure yeah mentioning 459 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:17,090 mental illness didn't something just 460 00:19:22,510 --> 00:19:20,930 happen like this yeah something happened 461 00:19:25,330 --> 00:19:22,520 at the at the at the Church of 462 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:25,340 Scientology down in Englewood which 463 00:19:31,570 --> 00:19:29,690 which incidentally my dad paid for and 464 00:19:34,990 --> 00:19:31,580 we could talk about that later sure I I 465 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:35,000 guess some guy from from from from the 466 00:19:38,830 --> 00:19:36,410 rumors that I've been hearing from some 467 00:19:41,260 --> 00:19:38,840 of my other ex I ontology friends I 468 00:19:42,820 --> 00:19:41,270 guess this person was a parishioner he 469 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:42,830 was actually taking courses at the 470 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:44,810 Scientology Church in Englewood ok he 471 00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:46,130 pulled up in his he pulled up in his 472 00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:49,910 Bentley wielded a sword of some kind and 473 00:19:54,940 --> 00:19:52,160 then I don't know how it happened but 474 00:19:56,380 --> 00:19:54,950 like an officer got shot in the arm or 475 00:19:58,090 --> 00:19:56,390 shot in the hand or something and they 476 00:19:59,440 --> 00:19:58,100 ended up killing I think they shot and 477 00:20:01,150 --> 00:19:59,450 killed the guy with the sword right 478 00:20:02,710 --> 00:20:01,160 that's right yeah 479 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:02,720 we're sort of waiting to hear what 480 00:20:05,950 --> 00:20:05,450 happens but a couple of months ago there 481 00:20:08,019 --> 00:20:05,960 was a staff 482 00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:08,029 being at a Church of Scientology down in 483 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:12,080 Australia and the church was quick - was 484 00:20:16,659 --> 00:20:14,450 was quick to respond to that and say 485 00:20:20,169 --> 00:20:16,669 that it was a non Scientology person 486 00:20:21,940 --> 00:20:20,179 that was crazy that they sort of tried 487 00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:21,950 to pin it on Leah Remini in her show 488 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:23,899 they were basically saying that Leah 489 00:20:28,330 --> 00:20:25,850 that Leah Remini show was spreading all 490 00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:28,340 of this hate and religious bigotry so 491 00:20:33,310 --> 00:20:29,840 that caused the person to come in and 492 00:20:35,139 --> 00:20:33,320 stab a non Scientologist to come in and 493 00:20:36,580 --> 00:20:35,149 stab a Scientology member okay so the 494 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:36,590 church has been Church has been very 495 00:20:39,789 --> 00:20:38,210 silent about the thing that happened in 496 00:20:41,350 --> 00:20:39,799 Inglewood just a few days ago so I'm 497 00:20:43,810 --> 00:20:41,360 pretty sure that it was one of their own 498 00:20:45,580 --> 00:20:43,820 that had the sword that sort unthinking 499 00:20:47,740 --> 00:20:45,590 - especially the whole sword thing I 500 00:20:51,399 --> 00:20:47,750 mean isn't there some sort of connection 501 00:20:53,710 --> 00:20:51,409 to like to Hubbard and like swords and 502 00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:53,720 everything Excalibur something like that 503 00:20:58,090 --> 00:20:56,480 yeah well the Excalibur I think was that 504 00:20:59,560 --> 00:20:58,100 was the name of her story that he wrote 505 00:21:02,500 --> 00:20:59,570 a very very long time ago I don't know 506 00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:02,510 what the sword represents okay I mean I 507 00:21:06,940 --> 00:21:04,190 might be getting a bit - conspiracy 508 00:21:08,889 --> 00:21:06,950 theory maybe but also I mean like the 509 00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:08,899 Sea Org the sea organization members 510 00:21:12,490 --> 00:21:10,880 those are the good those are the guys 511 00:21:14,289 --> 00:21:12,500 that sign the billion-year contracts and 512 00:21:17,139 --> 00:21:14,299 they wear the naval style uniforms the 513 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:17,149 sword is a very you know powerful symbol 514 00:21:22,210 --> 00:21:19,970 you know military wise and I think that 515 00:21:24,549 --> 00:21:22,220 for the you know when they get all 516 00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:24,559 dressed up in their sea organization 517 00:21:27,970 --> 00:21:26,510 uniforms some of them have little swords 518 00:21:30,460 --> 00:21:27,980 or flags or something I don't know maybe 519 00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:30,470 that something yeah who knows who knows 520 00:21:35,230 --> 00:21:33,289 we may never know Church seems very 521 00:21:38,860 --> 00:21:35,240 pretty good at keeping people quiet 522 00:21:40,450 --> 00:21:38,870 as well for now yeah yeah well that's 523 00:21:42,940 --> 00:21:40,460 really interesting because that that 524 00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:42,950 really did mystifies like the whole body 525 00:21:47,380 --> 00:21:45,230 recruitment thing that was interesting 526 00:21:50,230 --> 00:21:47,390 and with that guy of that I that I knew 527 00:21:53,139 --> 00:21:50,240 I noticed as time went on like he became 528 00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:53,149 more distant with me and stopped talking 529 00:21:56,919 --> 00:21:55,370 about his personal life and then there 530 00:21:58,120 --> 00:21:56,929 came one day where he literally told me 531 00:21:59,680 --> 00:21:58,130 I can't talk to you anymore 532 00:22:01,720 --> 00:21:59,690 he said that yeah I mean I was really 533 00:22:04,299 --> 00:22:01,730 hurt because like I can fight it a lot 534 00:22:06,340 --> 00:22:04,309 in this dude and yeah I respected his 535 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:06,350 beliefs he respected mine and then he 536 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:08,330 just disappeared I never saw him again 537 00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:10,970 haven't seen him since he probably got 538 00:22:14,019 --> 00:22:12,799 into ethics trouble and that happens a 539 00:22:15,909 --> 00:22:14,029 lot if you do something wrong in 540 00:22:17,649 --> 00:22:15,919 Scientology you get said to ethics and 541 00:22:19,810 --> 00:22:17,659 they basically they have to try to fix 542 00:22:22,780 --> 00:22:19,820 you or they have to try to correct 543 00:22:24,490 --> 00:22:22,790 for whatever it is that you did wrong so 544 00:22:26,260 --> 00:22:24,500 they probably pulled him back in because 545 00:22:28,090 --> 00:22:26,270 he did something or he or he said 546 00:22:30,220 --> 00:22:28,100 something or maybe he was having doubts 547 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:30,230 about Scientology or doubts about 548 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:32,570 staying in Scientology and they do not 549 00:22:35,770 --> 00:22:34,010 like that at all 550 00:22:37,450 --> 00:22:35,780 and what they have is they have this 551 00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:37,460 thing called a security check which is 552 00:22:43,660 --> 00:22:40,310 basically their nice way of putting a 553 00:22:46,060 --> 00:22:43,670 what it really is is a interrogation 554 00:22:47,740 --> 00:22:46,070 they put you in a little room and they 555 00:22:49,150 --> 00:22:47,750 hook you up to the e meter that's that 556 00:22:51,940 --> 00:22:49,160 little machine that they use is kind of 557 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:51,950 like a lie detector and they grill you 558 00:22:55,630 --> 00:22:53,810 for hours and hours and hours and ask 559 00:22:57,370 --> 00:22:55,640 you questions like what have you done do 560 00:22:59,530 --> 00:22:57,380 you have evil intentions against the 561 00:23:02,020 --> 00:22:59,540 Church of Scientology do you have evil 562 00:23:04,870 --> 00:23:02,030

--> 00:23:08,630 like for hours and hours and hours and 566 00:23:16,510 --> 00:23:11,060 they make you confess all of your crimes 567 00:23:19,660 --> 00:23:16,520 God says oh it's horrible I've had my 568 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:19,670 share of security checking thousands and 569 00:23:23,950 --> 00:23:22,610 thousands of hours over over a very long 570 00:23:25,090 --> 00:23:23,960 period of time of course you know 571 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:25,100 because I'm always getting in trouble 572 00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:27,410 for something I'm always saying I'm 573 00:23:30,790 --> 00:23:28,910 always saying the wrong thing I'm always 574 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:30,800 doing the wrong thing like Joey's got to 575 00:23:36,370 --> 00:23:32,810 go in for SEC checking okay well there's 576 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:36,380 to be very common in the religion Joey I 577 00:23:39,820 --> 00:23:37,970 mean you hear all the time like it's a 578 00:23:42,460 --> 00:23:39,830 religion of Snickers

it's it's that's how they 582 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:51,230 keep control over people because you're 583 00:23:55,210 --> 00:23:53,210 not allowed to say anything negative 584 00:23:56,650 --> 00:23:55,220 about Scientology you're not allowed to 585 00:23:58,150 --> 00:23:56,660 say anything negative about other 586 00:24:01,390 --> 00:23:58,160 Scientologists I mean I'll tell you a 587 00:24:04,030 --> 00:24:01,400 quick story when I was a kid I did a lot 588 00:24:06,130 --> 00:24:04,040 of my Scientology training very early in 589 00:24:08,140 --> 00:24:06,140 life I started at the age of 13 which is 590 00:24:10,060 --> 00:24:08,150 very unusual it doesn't happen very 591 00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:10,070 often but of course my parents being the 592 00:24:14,260 --> 00:24:12,320 huge Scientologists that they were 593 00:24:17,230 --> 00:24:14,270 anyway and so when I started my training 594 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:17,240 I was at the Celebrity Center and there 595 00:24:22,180 --> 00:24:20,090 was this one executive woman that was 596 00:24:25,930 --> 00:24:22,190 working there and she was trying to 597 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:25,940 convince me to basically quit school and 598 00:24:30,340 --> 00:24:28,010 come and come do my training first at 599 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:30,350 Celebrity Centre full-time I said listen 600 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:31,850 I'm sorry but I have to go to school 601 00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:34,010 during the day and then I'll I come to 602 00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:35,600 Liberty center you know in the late 603 00:24:39,550 --> 00:24:37,070 afternoon and I study into the evening 604 00:24:41,890 --> 00:24:39,560 and she said to me she was like Joey 605 00:24:43,570 --> 00:24:41,900 trying to convince me this is the this 606 00:24:45,670 --> 00:24:43,580 is the greatest thing that you can do 607 00:24:47,980 --> 00:24:45,680 school is for idiots and like you're 608 00:24:51,310 --> 00:24:47,990 sure you're not a regular person you're 609 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:51,320 a super human being and and I told her 610 00:24:54,310 --> 00:24:52,970 I'm like I'm not gonna stop going to 611 00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:54,320 school I actually enjoy going to my 612 00:24:56,620 --> 00:24:54,710 school 613 00:24:58,420 --> 00:24:56,630 so basically she said well you know what 614 00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:58,430 Joey you can just go yourself and 615 00:25:02,380 --> 00:25:00,320 go jump off the top of Celebrity Center 616 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:02,390 and they had a balcony up there she said 617 00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:03,890 go up to the sixth floor balcony and 618 00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:05,510 just jump off because you you may as 619 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:08,720 well kill yourself Jesus so I was really 620 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:10,250 upset by that whole thing and then 621 00:25:13,900 --> 00:25:12,170 another person came to me a few days 622 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:13,910 later and they saw that I was upset and 623 00:25:17,740 --> 00:25:15,530 they were like what's the matter I said 624 00:25:20,620 --> 00:25:17,750 oh well this is this executive I said 625 00:25:23,050 --> 00:25:20,630 her name and she told me to go kill 626 00:25:25,150 --> 00:25:23,060 myself I'm really really upset they 627 00:25:28,060 --> 00:25:25,160 pulled me into a security check because 628 00:25:30,130 --> 00:25:28,070 I was being critical of her because she 629 00:25:32,770 --> 00:25:30,140 was because she was an executive at 630 00:25:34,330 --> 00:25:32,780 Celebrity Centre okay I'm not allowed to 631 00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:34,340 say anything bad to her even though what 632 00:25:37,210 --> 00:25:35,510 she said to me was a hundred percent 633 00:25:39,310 --> 00:25:37,220 wrong and a hunt but it was also a 634 00:25:41,290 --> 00:25:39,320 hundred percent true but because I was 635 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:41,300 saying a negative thing about a senior C 636 00:25:46,180 --> 00:25:44,090 organisation member they pulled me into 637 00:25:48,660 --> 00:25:46,190 an interrogation and said and asked me 638 00:25:52,750 --> 00:25:48,670 what did I do wrong what are my crimes 639 00:25:54,220 --> 00:25:52,760 Wow yeah so that's the that's the that's 640 00:25:56,230 --> 00:25:54,230 the way that they control people 641 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:56,240 everybody everybody's niching on on 642 00:26:00,100 --> 00:25:58,010 everybody else and if you and you learn 643 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:00,110 I learned really quickly if you say 644 00:26:04,180 --> 00:26:01,850 anything negative about something or 645 00:26:05,890 --> 00:26:04,190 somebody else in Scientology then I knew 646 00:26:08,410 --> 00:26:05,900 that I myself would get in trouble so 647 00:26:10,690 --> 00:26:08,420 you learn to just basically shut up and 648 00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:10,700 not say anything even though if 649 00:26:14,620 --> 00:26:12,110 something wrong happened or if you know 650 00:26:16,990 --> 00:26:14,630 that it's wrong it's all about control I 651 00:26:19,630 --> 00:26:17,000 I totally it's it becomes more clear 652 00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:19,640 like the more stories you hear but um 653 00:26:25,870 --> 00:26:22,370 okay so you were one of like the 654 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:25,880 youngest like you said what were they 655 00:26:33,670 --> 00:26:28,250 auditors is that correct really yeah 656 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:33,680 yeah so yes so people who deliver the 657 00:26:37,540 --> 00:26:35,690 Scientology auditing they call them 658 00:26:39,790 --> 00:26:37,550 auditors so I was trained to be a 659 00:26:42,220 --> 00:26:39,800 Scientology auditor so I was the one on 660 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:42,230 the opposite side of the meter so like I 661 00:26:46,990 --> 00:26:45,050 would be the one that would be giving 662 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:47,000 the people the Scientology auditing 663 00:26:50,690 --> 00:26:47,850 process 664 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:50,700 essentially and and helping them go up 665 00:26:54,620 --> 00:26:52,289 and then eventually what I did was is 666 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:54,630 that when you get into the confidential 667 00:26:57,409 --> 00:26:56,250 levels of Scientology they call those 668 00:27:01,909 --> 00:26:57,419 the OT levels 669 00:27:03,740 --> 00:27:01,919 I was yeah yeah so so in the beginning I 670 00:27:05,150 --> 00:27:03,750 was trained to be an auditor at a very 671 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:05,160 young age I started like I said when I 672 00:27:09,919 --> 00:27:07,890 was 13 and and this you said going up 673 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:09,929 now this is what I assume is the 674 00:27:14,659 --> 00:27:12,330 spiritual bridge is that what it is yeah 675 00:27:16,390 --> 00:27:14,669 yeah so it's this sort of Scientology 676 00:27:19,010 --> 00:27:16,400 it's called the bridge to total freedom 677 00:27:20,930 --> 00:27:19,020 yeah so everybody everybody starts at 678 00:27:23,060 --> 00:27:20,940 the bottom and then step by step you do 679 00:27:24,649 --> 00:27:23,070 these certain levels and you go starting 680 00:27:27,350 --> 00:27:24,659 from the bottom the first thing that you 681 00:27:29,659 --> 00:27:27,360 do is the it's this thing called the 682 00:27:31,549 --> 00:27:29,669 purification rundown that's the thing 683 00:27:34,029 --> 00:27:31,559 where you sit in a sauna for five hours 684 00:27:36,649 --> 00:27:34,039 a day and take heavy heavy doses of 685 00:27:39,620 --> 00:27:36,659 vitamins and particularly a vitamin 686 00:27:41,060 --> 00:27:39,630 called niacin and Hubbard believed that 687 00:27:42,350 --> 00:27:41,070 like the first thing you have to do when 688 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:42,360 you step onto the bridge to total 689 00:27:46,669 --> 00:27:44,850 freedom is you have to flush all of the 690 00:27:48,649 --> 00:27:46,679 drugs and the alcohol and the poisons 691 00:27:51,919 --> 00:27:48,659 out of your body and he believed that a 692 00:27:55,330 --> 00:27:51,929 heavy diet of multivitamins and niacin 693 00:27:58,070 --> 00:27:55,340 and sitting in a sauna you sweat out the 694 00:28:00,320 --> 00:27:58,080 toxins and the drugs that are stored in 695 00:28:02,060 --> 00:28:00,330 the fat cells of your body okay which 696 00:28:02,810 --> 00:28:02,070 has been scientifically proven to be 697 00:28:06,710 --> 00:28:02,820 horseshit 698 00:28:08,779 --> 00:28:06,720 but Scientologists still do it yeah yeah 699 00:28:12,020 --> 00:28:08,789 I could actually see that working in 700 00:28:13,940 --> 00:28:12,030 some ways but well you know I did I did 701 00:28:15,409 --> 00:28:13,950 the purification rundown twice and the 702 00:28:17,630 --> 00:28:15,419 only thing that I can say about it is 703 00:28:19,850 --> 00:28:17,640 that I lost a bunch of weight okay you 704 00:28:21,470 --> 00:28:19,860 know from sitting in a sauna for you 705 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:21,480 know four five hours a day I felt a 706 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:23,970 little healthier but I wouldn't 707 00:28:27,380 --> 00:28:25,650 recommend taking that much nice and I 708 00:28:30,020 --> 00:28:27,390 mean literally 5,000 milligrams of 709 00:28:31,850 --> 00:28:30,030 niacin per day right I mean I assume 710 00:28:34,549 --> 00:28:31,860 it's just can't be good for you 711 00:28:36,049 --> 00:28:34,559 no I think that would destroy somebody's 712 00:28:39,409 --> 00:28:36,059 liver if they had like a slight liver 713 00:28:42,350 --> 00:28:39,419 problem I would think yeah so anyway so 714 00:28:44,090 --> 00:28:42,360 yeah so you so I was the auditor I was 715 00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:44,100 the person that was taking people up the 716 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:45,900 bridge from like level two level two 717 00:28:51,649 --> 00:28:48,090 level two level and how many levels are 718 00:28:54,110 --> 00:28:51,659 there like total so from the beginning 719 00:28:56,090 --> 00:28:54,120 of the bridge to the middle part which 720 00:28:57,830 --> 00:28:56,100 is where you reach a level called clear 721 00:29:00,320 --> 00:28:57,840 I'm sure people are very familiar with 722 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:00,330 the clear thing right going that's one 723 00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:01,530 two three four five 724 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:04,670 seven a like eight or nine levels to 725 00:29:09,650 --> 00:29:07,650 clear and then after clear then you get 726 00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:09,660 to the OT levels and right now it goes 727 00:29:16,070 --> 00:29:13,110 ot one through ot eight on the bridge 728 00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:16,080 it does go all the way up to ot 15 but 729 00:29:18,740 --> 00:29:16,980 at the moment 730 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:18,750 ot eight is the highest you can go they 731 00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:21,570 haven't actually released ot nine and 732 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:23,910 above yet I think that they don't even 733 00:29:27,410 --> 00:29:25,530 exist and I think it's just a carrot 734 00:29:29,270 --> 00:29:27,420 that they're dangling in front of all 735 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:29,280 these other Scientologists to try to 736 00:29:33,890 --> 00:29:32,250 keep them on board I see yeah but who 737 00:29:37,570 --> 00:29:33,900 knows who knows what Hubbard wrote in 738 00:29:40,430 --> 00:29:37,580 the late 80s before he died who knows 739 00:29:43,340 --> 00:29:40,440 yeah we probably won't some people think 740 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:43,350 they're the secrets lie underground but 741 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:47,730 we'll get to that too okay so you what 742 00:29:53,210 --> 00:29:49,770 level take you personally get to Joey 743 00:29:55,370 --> 00:29:53,220 and um yeah what was what was what was 744 00:29:58,070 --> 00:29:55,380 that like when you got to that level so 745 00:30:00,590 --> 00:29:58,080 I got to OT three and ot three is like 746 00:30:03,670 --> 00:30:00,600 the Big Kahuna in Scientology because on 747 00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:03,680 ot three that's when you discover 748 00:30:09,950 --> 00:30:07,440 basically Scientology's creation story 749 00:30:11,870 --> 00:30:09,960 the story about Xenu the galactic 750 00:30:13,550 --> 00:30:11,880 Overlord of the of the Galactic 751 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:13,560 Confederation and the horrible things 752 00:30:19,340 --> 00:30:17,490 that he did 75 million years ago yep we 753 00:30:21,290 --> 00:30:19,350 had to get there man this is a UFO 754 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:21,300 podcast that's the very thing it's like 755 00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:23,610 so now so now we can talk about aliens 756 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:25,710 let's so so when you're doing your 757 00:30:30,380 --> 00:30:27,570 auditing at the beginning part of the 758 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:30,390 bridge to total freedom you don't know 759 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:31,410 anything about this 760 00:30:37,250 --> 00:30:34,410 you know what the OT levels are but 761 00:30:39,140 --> 00:30:37,260 they're so confidential they keep those 762 00:30:41,510 --> 00:30:39,150 materials it's like going into Fort Knox 763 00:30:44,870 --> 00:30:41,520 it's like in a special building behind 764 00:30:47,030 --> 00:30:44,880 security lock doors the materials 765 00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:47,040 themselves are in these special packets 766 00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:49,110 and they're kept in like these giant 767 00:30:54,770 --> 00:30:52,710 guns saves okay and they're plugged into 768 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:54,780 like an electronic I don't know what you 769 00:30:59,480 --> 00:30:56,010 call it but they're plugged into the 770 00:31:01,340 --> 00:30:59,490 safe and when I did the course they took 771 00:31:03,050 --> 00:31:01,350 it out of the safe they unplugged it and 772 00:31:04,940 --> 00:31:03,060 then you take it to your little table so 773 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:04,950 you can sit down and read it and there's 774 00:31:09,170 --> 00:31:07,290 a plug on the table and you have 30 775 00:31:11,540 --> 00:31:09,180 seconds to get it from the safe to the 776 00:31:12,980 --> 00:31:11,550 table otherwise the alarms go off and 777 00:31:14,690 --> 00:31:12,990 the doors shut and security comes 778 00:31:15,289 --> 00:31:14,700 running in I mean they take this 779 00:31:18,169 --> 00:31:15,299 very very 780 00:31:20,060 --> 00:31:18,179 yeah so when you're going up the bridge 781 00:31:24,499 --> 00:31:20,070 you have no idea what's on these levels 782 00:31:26,119 --> 00:31:24,509 I didn't at least and you know you see 783 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:26,129 the stuff going on you're like wow this 784 00:31:29,239 --> 00:31:27,570 stuff must be heavy like if they're 785 00:31:31,070 --> 00:31:29,249 protecting it this much it must be like 786 00:31:32,539 --> 00:31:31,080 serious and they put you through the 787 00:31:34,580 --> 00:31:32,549 wringer that you have to get tons of 788 00:31:36,979 --> 00:31:34,590 security checking to make sure that 789 00:31:38,180 --> 00:31:36,989 you're you're safe - I mean safe under 790 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:38,190 their eyes to actually read the 791 00:31:42,970 --> 00:31:39,570 materials and then when you finally read 792 00:31:44,930 --> 00:31:42,980 them I was 18 when I did it and I was so 793 00:31:47,149 --> 00:31:44,940 brainwashed into it I was so 794 00:31:49,009 --> 00:31:47,159 indoctrinated I had pretty much no 795 00:31:50,899 --> 00:31:49,019 choice but to believe all the that 796 00:31:53,299 --> 00:31:50,909 I read in it now you know I think it's 797 00:31:55,519 --> 00:31:53,309 completely ridiculous but at the time I 798 00:31:58,009 --> 00:31:55,529 actually really truly believed that that 799 00:32:01,220 --> 00:31:58,019 that was the answer I was like oh okay I 800 00:32:03,710 --> 00:32:01,230 was I was nothing it was nothing like it 801 00:32:05,060 --> 00:32:03,720 that I had ever expected to do it and 802 00:32:07,340 --> 00:32:05,070 then the thing is is that once you read 803 00:32:10,279 --> 00:32:07,350 it then you have to go in session and 804 00:32:11,899 --> 00:32:10,289 you have to do the auditing to fix the 805 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:11,909 whole thing of what he said was the 806 00:32:20,029 --> 00:32:14,090 problem was and it's a very complicated 807 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:20,039 very convoluted so that's interesting 808 00:32:25,989 --> 00:32:21,690 because you know we've heard when people 809 00:32:29,210 --> 00:32:25,999 get to the the creation story - ot3 that 810 00:32:31,369 --> 00:32:29,220 people like Leah she she was like oh my 811 00:32:33,289 --> 00:32:31,379 god this is such and then right 812 00:32:36,019 --> 00:32:33,299 there's someone like you who was like 813 00:32:38,090 --> 00:32:36,029 okay I'm gonna run with this like every 814 00:32:40,549 --> 00:32:38,100 religion has like a myth Oh Sarah 815 00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:40,559 mythology to it I yeah guess this is 816 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:43,529 ours so this is our is that kind of what 817 00:32:47,479 --> 00:32:45,450 you went with when this whole story of 818 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:47,489 Xenu which I would love if you could 819 00:32:53,299 --> 00:32:50,730 like kind of tell us about if you don't 820 00:32:56,060 --> 00:32:53,309 know this whole story of Xenu and things 821 00:32:58,430 --> 00:32:56,070 and oh god I know it's very confident 822 00:33:00,830 --> 00:32:58,440 but again it is were UFO podcasts were 823 00:33:02,749 --> 00:33:00,840 used to that yeah exactly and also too 824 00:33:04,039 --> 00:33:02,759 by the way the thing with Leah I know 825 00:33:06,019 --> 00:33:04,049 that she first thought that it was 826 00:33:07,639 --> 00:33:06,029 but again she couldn't say 827 00:33:09,049 --> 00:33:07,649 anything because again you're not 828 00:33:12,229 --> 00:33:09,059 supposed to say anything negative you're 829 00:33:14,810 --> 00:33:12,239 not supposed to disagree and the ot3 830 00:33:18,070 --> 00:33:14,820 materials most of them are in Hubbard's 831 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:18,080 handwriting they are non disputable and 832 00:33:23,269 --> 00:33:21,690 and by the way all of the ot3 materials 833 00:33:25,909 --> 00:33:23,279 you can find it on the internet now in 834 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:25,919 his handwriting so they're not really 835 00:33:28,820 --> 00:33:27,330 that big of a secret anymore but 836 00:33:29,139 --> 00:33:28,830 Scientology still pretends that they 837 00:33:31,539 --> 00:33:29,149 don't 838 00:33:34,299 --> 00:33:31,549 just anywhere else outside of the 839 00:33:35,950 --> 00:33:34,309 outside of the confines of Fort Knox but 840 00:33:39,009 --> 00:33:35,960 yeah no that's what I sort of believed I 841 00:33:40,869 --> 00:33:39,019 was like oh well if if l ron Hubbard 842 00:33:42,399 --> 00:33:40,879 says that it is than it is must be true 843 00:33:44,079 --> 00:33:42,409 because that's the thing that you were 844 00:33:45,849 --> 00:33:44,089 taught and you were indoctrinated into 845 00:33:48,489 --> 00:33:45,859 believing you can't dispute anything 846 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:48,499 that he says what's written is what's 847 00:33:52,899 --> 00:33:50,570 true if he wrote it then it must be true 848 00:33:55,089 --> 00:33:52,909 he could have told you whatever he 849 00:33:56,950 --> 00:33:55,099 wanted to in the world and he would have 850 00:33:58,869 --> 00:33:56,960 had to have and that and that and that 851 00:34:01,060 --> 00:33:58,879 was it and if you disputed it or if he 852 00:34:02,709 --> 00:34:01,070 had a problem with it then you would go 853 00:34:04,029 --> 00:34:02,719 back to ethics and nobody wants to do 854 00:34:05,919 --> 00:34:04,039 that so of course what do you do you 855 00:34:12,700 --> 00:34:05,929 keep your mouth shut so what is the 856 00:34:14,769 --> 00:34:12,710 creation story okay do you enjoy true 857 00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:14,779 stories of the supernatural from the 858 00:34:19,930 --> 00:34:17,510 people who experienced it well then you 859 00:34:22,629 --> 00:34:19,940 might like my show Jim Harold's campfire 860 00:34:26,409 --> 00:34:22,639 hi I'm Jim and we've been doing the show 861 00:34:29,109 --> 00:34:26,419 since 2009 and we talk about ghosts 862 00:34:31,419 --> 00:34:29,119 cryptic creatures UFOs head scratchers 863 00:34:34,089 --> 00:34:31,429 you name it and you tune in you might 864 00:34:37,419 --> 00:34:34,099 hear a story like this one and as he was 865 00:34:40,899 --> 00:34:37,429 driving home he encountered a shadow 866 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:40,909 person who seemed to be dressed like a 867 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:44,210 monk I know that sounds very strange but 868 00:34:50,309 --> 00:34:47,210 it was a solid black form and it was 869 00:34:54,970 --> 00:34:50,319 wearing a hooded cloak tied at the waist 870 00:34:58,839 --> 00:34:54,980 with the cloak up and it had glowing red 871 00:35:02,859 --> 00:34:58,849 eyes he sees this thing coming out of a 872 00:35:04,630 --> 00:35:02,869 really teeny abandoned Cemetery if you 873 00:35:07,089 --> 00:35:04,640 haven't tuned in I hope you'll check us 874 00:35:10,059 --> 00:35:07,099 out you can find us on Apple podcasts 875 00:35:12,730 --> 00:35:10,069 Spotify and wherever podcasts are heard 876 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:12,740 it's Jim Harold's campfire and you can 877 00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:14,690 find it at Jim Harold calm 878 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:23,150 so basically what happened is is that 75 879 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:26,210 million years ago earth is part of a 880 00:35:32,450 --> 00:35:28,890 Galactic Confederation of planets and 881 00:35:36,799 --> 00:35:32,460 our planet the original name for Earth 882 00:35:38,180 --> 00:35:36,809 is called T G AK and T G AK Earth has 883 00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:38,190 been sort of a dumping ground for 884 00:35:41,450 --> 00:35:39,510 millions and millions and millions of 885 00:35:43,220 --> 00:35:41,460 years this is like the really like the 886 00:35:44,809 --> 00:35:43,230 shittiest planet and the in the whole 887 00:35:48,260 --> 00:35:44,819 Confederation I think he said there was 888 00:35:51,349 --> 00:35:48,270 76 or 77 planets or something so there 889 00:35:53,630 --> 00:35:51,359 was a huge overpopulation problem with 890 00:35:56,270 --> 00:35:53,640 most of the other planets so what Xenu 891 00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:56,280 decided to do is he decided to fix the 892 00:36:02,660 --> 00:35:58,490 population problem he gathered up 893 00:36:06,170 --> 00:36:02,670 billions and billions of people aliens 894 00:36:08,839 --> 00:36:06,180 and put them in the spaceships that he 895 00:36:10,190 --> 00:36:08,849 said look like dc-8 air airplanes except 896 00:36:13,010 --> 00:36:10,200 they had rocket engines on them and not 897 00:36:16,130 --> 00:36:13,020 propellers nice and so billions of these 898 00:36:17,540 --> 00:36:16,140 of these people aliens you know aliens 899 00:36:18,890 --> 00:36:17,550 from different types of bodies and 900 00:36:21,799 --> 00:36:18,900 things like that different types of 901 00:36:24,020 --> 00:36:21,809 creatures brought them all to earth blew 902 00:36:26,089 --> 00:36:24,030 them up in volcanoes and then trap them 903 00:36:28,069 --> 00:36:26,099 all so now remember of Scientology's 904 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:28,079 basic belief is that you are not your 905 00:36:33,230 --> 00:36:31,410 body you are a soul you are a spiritual 906 00:36:37,010 --> 00:36:33,240 being and this the word that Scientology 907 00:36:40,039 --> 00:36:37,020 uses for spirit is called a Satan so 908 00:36:42,049 --> 00:36:40,049 you're it so you're a Satan you have a 909 00:36:43,579 --> 00:36:42,059 body and you have a mind those are the 910 00:36:47,359 --> 00:36:43,589 those are the three different parts of 911 00:36:48,650 --> 00:36:47,369 man so we so all of these people that he 912 00:36:50,359 --> 00:36:48,660 brought to earth and put them on the 913 00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:50,369 different volcanoes across her sand blew 914 00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:51,510 them up with h-bombs 915 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:53,730 their bodies are dead but the fate ins 916 00:36:57,770 --> 00:36:55,170 are still there their souls are still 917 00:36:59,630 --> 00:36:57,780 there so he figured out a way to trap 918 00:37:02,980 --> 00:36:59,640 all of these Staton's and basically what 919 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:02,990 he did is he boxed him up in boxes and 920 00:37:08,569 --> 00:37:05,490 compacted them to solve the 921 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:08,579 overpopulation problem so now as a 922 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:11,490 result of that incident that happened 75 923 00:37:16,069 --> 00:37:14,130 million years ago everybody walking on 924 00:37:21,260 --> 00:37:16,079 this planet today we are all composite 925 00:37:23,450 --> 00:37:21,270 creatures so you Ryan have hundreds of 926 00:37:24,980 --> 00:37:23,460 thousands of thetan that are stuck to 927 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:24,990 you and stuck to your body 928 00:37:29,420 --> 00:37:27,450 I knew that are right so every single 929 00:37:31,460 --> 00:37:29,430 person walking around is not just one 930 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:31,470 thetan it's not just one soul you have 931 00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:33,570 hundreds of thousands of fate ins that 932 00:37:38,810 --> 00:37:36,510 stuck to you so when you learn this in 933 00:37:39,890 --> 00:37:38,820 Scientology that's the first thing you 934 00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:39,900 read is Hubbard tells you the whole 935 00:37:44,810 --> 00:37:41,910 stories like Xenu came in and he did all 936 00:37:46,550 --> 00:37:44,820 this stuff and you know it's a very long 937 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:46,560 and complicated process I think that 938 00:37:51,140 --> 00:37:49,770 whole sequence of events where he blew 939 00:37:53,660 --> 00:37:51,150 them up in the volcanoes and stuff it 940 00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:53,670 lasted for like months or something like 941 00:37:57,890 --> 00:37:55,440 that I can imagine it's a very 942 00:38:01,340 --> 00:37:57,900 complicated process oh yeah so then so 943 00:38:03,830 --> 00:38:01,350 then once you read that then you go okay 944 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:03,840 so now that I know that there's millions 945 00:38:07,150 --> 00:38:05,490 of people or hundreds of thousands of 946 00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:07,160 people that are stuck to me what do I do 947 00:38:12,020 --> 00:38:09,030 Hubbard had a solution for everything 948 00:38:13,970 --> 00:38:12,030 you audit them you have to audit each of 949 00:38:14,690 --> 00:38:13,980 the individual souls this is how you 950 00:38:18,710 --> 00:38:14,700 handle it 951 00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:18,720 so using basic Scientology technology 952 00:38:24,890 --> 00:38:22,320 you go through one by one throughout 953 00:38:27,260 --> 00:38:24,900 your entire body and and around your 954 00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:27,270 body to find each of these statements 955 00:38:31,790 --> 00:38:29,520 and you talk to them figure out what 956 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:31,800 their problem is and get them to leave 957 00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:34,530 by using basic Scientology processes 958 00:38:40,010 --> 00:38:36,960 that that in itself takes a very long 959 00:38:42,350 --> 00:38:40,020 time so starting from ot3 all the way up 960 00:38:43,550 --> 00:38:42,360 through ot seven that's the only thing 961 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:43,560 that you're doing is your is your 962 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:47,130 auditing these thetans I'm kind of stuck 963 00:38:51,710 --> 00:38:49,770 to you to get them to leave and what 964 00:38:53,230 --> 00:38:51,720 Hubbard said was is that each of these 965 00:38:57,050 --> 00:38:53,240 Staton's that are stuck to you are 966 00:38:58,700 --> 00:38:57,060 negative emotions and pains and diseases 967 00:38:59,990 --> 00:38:58,710 and all of these other things that he 968 00:39:01,610 --> 00:39:00,000 originally was talking about in 969 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:01,620 Dianetics it's like oh well the whole 970 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:04,530 reason why people get sick is because of 971 00:39:08,150 --> 00:39:06,810 the reactive mind and then as the years 972 00:39:10,070 --> 00:39:08,160 went on he was like actually it's not 973 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:10,080 true it's because of these Staton's that 974 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:12,690 are stuck to you so the more Satan's you 975 00:39:17,860 --> 00:39:15,450 get rid of it's so insane when I say it 976 00:39:20,060 --> 00:39:17,870 like whatever I tell the story yeah so 977 00:39:21,950 --> 00:39:20,070 basically he was saying the more you 978 00:39:23,660 --> 00:39:21,960 audit these Satan's and the more the 979 00:39:24,260 --> 00:39:23,670 Satan's that you get rid of off of 980 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:24,270 yourself 981 00:39:28,490 --> 00:39:27,090 the happier you'll be the less problems 982 00:39:29,930 --> 00:39:28,500 you'll have and all this other stuff so 983 00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:29,940 that's the in a nutshell that's the 984 00:39:35,570 --> 00:39:32,250 basic gist of what you learn and what 985 00:39:38,810 --> 00:39:35,580 you do on our t3 okay all right well 986 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:38,820 thank you that was I mean it's very 987 00:39:44,030 --> 00:39:41,850 convoluted but it actually like when you 988 00:39:46,310 --> 00:39:44,040 hear it like that I'm like okay so he 989 00:39:46,940 --> 00:39:46,320 basically took his original thoughts and 990 00:39:48,770 --> 00:39:46,950 ideas 991 00:39:51,380 --> 00:39:48,780 in applied this very science-fiction 992 00:39:54,950 --> 00:39:51,390 esque slant to it all which make sense 993 00:39:57,650 --> 00:39:54,960 so I mean so body faden's they can get 994 00:40:00,680 --> 00:39:57,660 all over you you're trying to get rid of 995 00:40:03,950 --> 00:40:00,690 them through oddity and so do they once 996 00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:03,960 they're off of you do they go to someone 997 00:40:10,579 --> 00:40:06,480 else or can they come back how does that 998 00:40:14,539 --> 00:40:10,589 all work I will read you the exact thing 999 00:40:17,630 --> 00:40:14,549 that Hubbard wrote about that in one of 1000 00:40:19,609 --> 00:40:17,640 the in in in one of the policies that he 1001 00:40:21,950 --> 00:40:19,619 wrote on the on the ot3 course he says 1002 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:21,960 body things are just Satan's that are 1003 00:40:26,089 --> 00:40:24,210 stuck to you when you get rid of one he 1004 00:40:29,359 --> 00:40:26,099 goes off and possibly squares around 1005 00:40:31,700 --> 00:40:29,369 picks up another body or admires daisies 1006 00:40:33,170 --> 00:40:31,710 so basically what he's saying there is 1007 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:33,180 is that they can basically do whatever 1008 00:40:38,450 --> 00:40:35,490 they want I see because they've been 1009 00:40:39,980 --> 00:40:38,460 stuck to you for 75 million years this 1010 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:39,990 is the first time that they're actually 1011 00:40:45,380 --> 00:40:42,930 like on their own and a single Phaeton 1012 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:45,390 so he could go and find another body 1013 00:40:49,970 --> 00:40:47,010 because you know Scientologists believe 1014 00:40:51,410 --> 00:40:49,980 in past lives and we've all lived you 1015 00:40:53,180 --> 00:40:51,420 know millions upon millions upon 1016 00:40:55,670 --> 00:40:53,190 millions of lifetimes and all this other 1017 00:40:57,380 --> 00:40:55,680 crap so he could go pick up another body 1018 00:40:59,480 --> 00:40:57,390 he could go sniff the daisies he can 1019 00:41:02,089 --> 00:40:59,490 basically do whatever they want so yeah 1020 00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:02,099 it's it's almost like a threat but it 1021 00:41:08,210 --> 00:41:04,710 could return if it wants to and the 1022 00:41:10,789 --> 00:41:08,220 cycle just keeps going in a way it could 1023 00:41:13,730 --> 00:41:10,799 be but but at the same time Hubbard said 1024 00:41:16,549 --> 00:41:13,740 that like a regular thetan if you if you 1025 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:16,559 do Scientology auditing on someone you 1026 00:41:20,089 --> 00:41:17,970 know could be you or could be me and 1027 00:41:22,099 --> 00:41:20,099 it's supposed to make them better it's 1028 00:41:23,839 --> 00:41:22,109 the same thing with a body thing one of 1029 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:23,849 the guys that are stuck to you hi so if 1030 00:41:27,829 --> 00:41:25,410 you audit them so if you audit them on 1031 00:41:29,539 --> 00:41:27,839 Scientology it's the same thing they're 1032 00:41:31,069 --> 00:41:29,549 gonna be a little bit better than they 1033 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:31,079 were before and they're gonna hopefully 1034 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:33,450 not get back into that vicious cycle all 1035 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:34,650 over again okay 1036 00:41:40,250 --> 00:41:37,410 so Joey being that you were like one of 1037 00:41:42,950 --> 00:41:40,260 the prime auditors I've heard rumors 1038 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:42,960 that auditing sessions are recorded is 1039 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:45,530 this true if so why yeah being recorded 1040 00:41:51,140 --> 00:41:49,290 yes absolutely will that's terrifying 1041 00:41:52,970 --> 00:41:51,150 it really is terrifying because when 1042 00:41:55,069 --> 00:41:52,980 you're getting auditing especially 1043 00:41:58,309 --> 00:41:55,079 during like the security checking you're 1044 00:42:00,410 --> 00:41:58,319 telling these guys as they did to me 1045 00:42:00,859 --> 00:42:00,420 they're they're telling me their deepest 1046 00:42:04,309 --> 00:42:00,869 darkest 1047 00:42:06,829 --> 00:42:04,319 secrets right like in full detail their 1048 00:42:08,420 --> 00:42:06,839 most personal thoughts really 1049 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:08,430 embarrassing things that they've done 1050 00:42:12,380 --> 00:42:10,890 like really like secretive stuff and the 1051 00:42:15,650 --> 00:42:12,390 reason why that they say that they do 1052 00:42:19,009 --> 00:42:15,660 all the recordings of everything is for 1053 00:42:22,430 --> 00:42:19,019 the purpose of the auditor so like when 1054 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:22,440 I used to audit at the big blue at the 1055 00:42:26,089 --> 00:42:23,970 big blue buildings down on Sunset 1056 00:42:27,710 --> 00:42:26,099 Boulevard every single time that I would 1057 00:42:29,569 --> 00:42:27,720 go into one of the little auditing rooms 1058 00:42:31,970 --> 00:42:29,579 to take someone a session everything was 1059 00:42:33,499 --> 00:42:31,980 recorded so then the person who is in 1060 00:42:35,749 --> 00:42:33,509 charge of the auditing they called them 1061 00:42:38,329 --> 00:42:35,759 the case supervisor they have a little 1062 00:42:40,970 --> 00:42:38,339 look in system where they can they have 1063 00:42:42,799 --> 00:42:40,980 a TV in their office and they look in on 1064 00:42:44,180 --> 00:42:42,809 everybody sessions they can just kind of 1065 00:42:46,249 --> 00:42:44,190 pop in you know by pressing a button 1066 00:42:48,829 --> 00:42:46,259 they say it's for the purpose of 1067 00:42:50,839 --> 00:42:48,839 correcting the auditor if the auditor 1068 00:42:52,789 --> 00:42:50,849 made a mistake which is true because 1069 00:42:54,890 --> 00:42:52,799 sometimes he like I would do something 1070 00:42:56,749 --> 00:42:54,900 that was technically not correct and 1071 00:42:58,279 --> 00:42:56,759 they would say like Oh Joey the session 1072 00:43:00,529 --> 00:42:58,289 that you did yesterday I watched the 1073 00:43:02,359 --> 00:43:00,539 video and you did you forgot to do this 1074 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:02,369 you or you forgot to do that and then I 1075 00:43:06,229 --> 00:43:04,890 would be sent to correction but the real 1076 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:06,239 reason that they want to do it is so 1077 00:43:09,979 --> 00:43:07,650 that they have a record of everything 1078 00:43:12,739 --> 00:43:09,989 that the person ever says because they 1079 00:43:14,599 --> 00:43:12,749 auditors write everything down whenever 1080 00:43:16,039 --> 00:43:14,609 you go into a session you're supposed to 1081 00:43:18,769 --> 00:43:16,049 write down everything that you do and 1082 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:18,779 everything that the patient says but 1083 00:43:22,670 --> 00:43:21,210 it's mostly shorthand but if you have it 1084 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:22,680 on video and if you have a sound 1085 00:43:27,410 --> 00:43:25,650 recording of it there's no dispute as to 1086 00:43:29,180 --> 00:43:27,420 what happened and what they said because 1087 00:43:30,589 --> 00:43:29,190 the auditor can write down anything that 1088 00:43:31,910 --> 00:43:30,599 they want and if there wasn't a video 1089 00:43:35,390 --> 00:43:31,920 that nobody would really ever know 1090 00:43:38,420 --> 00:43:35,400 that's a good point yeah mm-hmm but this 1091 00:43:40,910 --> 00:43:38,430 was the person being audited they were 1092 00:43:44,299 --> 00:43:40,920 not aware right that this is being 1093 00:43:47,150 --> 00:43:44,309 recorded correct right see that's me it 1094 00:43:49,729 --> 00:43:47,160 just it's making me envision all these 1095 00:43:52,309 --> 00:43:49,739 times I went to confession in my Roman 1096 00:43:54,529 --> 00:43:52,319 Catholic Church and I did tell them 1097 00:43:56,660 --> 00:43:54,539 things that nobody on this earth would 1098 00:43:58,579 --> 00:43:56,670 know and that terrifies me to think that 1099 00:44:01,940 --> 00:43:58,589 whoa my religion could have been doing 1100 00:44:03,799 --> 00:44:01,950 the same thing no in really embarrassing 1101 00:44:06,170 --> 00:44:03,809 - it's like people told me some 1102 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:06,180 really really personal thing and the 1103 00:44:11,420 --> 00:44:08,249 other thing too is is that over the 1104 00:44:14,029 --> 00:44:11,430 years since I have left Scientology a 1105 00:44:14,810 --> 00:44:14,039 lot of the cameras because I still talk 1106 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:14,820 to people that are 1107 00:44:18,860 --> 00:44:16,410 in Scientology they're just kind of 1108 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:18,870 laying low under the radar they would 1109 00:44:22,220 --> 00:44:20,490 never speak out about it because they're 1110 00:44:24,470 --> 00:44:22,230 obviously afraid of losing their family 1111 00:44:26,750 --> 00:44:24,480 or friends but they've called me and 1112 00:44:28,670 --> 00:44:26,760 told me things like now the Kent because 1113 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:28,680 before the cameras you could kind of see 1114 00:44:33,710 --> 00:44:30,450 them and you sort of knew that they were 1115 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:33,720 there but now they're hidden like they 1116 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:36,690 literally hide cameras in like I think 1117 00:44:42,020 --> 00:44:40,290 at the at the the Church of Scientology 1118 00:44:44,450 --> 00:44:42,030 the one that's in Florida the one in 1119 00:44:48,860 --> 00:44:44,460 Clearwater the huge one they hide they 1120 00:44:50,660 --> 00:44:48,870 hide the cameras behind a photo frame on 1121 00:44:52,970 --> 00:44:50,670 the wall and there's a microphone it's 1122 00:44:54,590 --> 00:44:52,980 hidden underneath the table back in the 1123 00:44:57,830 --> 00:44:54,600 day when I was doing my auditing in the 1124 00:44:59,960 --> 00:44:57,840 mid 90s like there was a full-on camera 1125 00:45:01,580 --> 00:44:59,970 there that we could that that that 1126 00:45:03,770 --> 00:45:01,590 everybody could see there was no 1127 00:45:05,540 --> 00:45:03,780 question about it but now it's 1128 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:05,550 completely hidden oh well you know we 1129 00:45:08,690 --> 00:45:07,410 don't want to distract the we don't want 1130 00:45:10,460 --> 00:45:08,700 to distract the patient you know whether 1131 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:10,470 while they're getting their auditing but 1132 00:45:14,540 --> 00:45:12,210 it's like if you're a new Scientologist 1133 00:45:16,340 --> 00:45:14,550 or if you had no eye or if you have no 1134 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:16,350 auditor training whatsoever you wouldn't 1135 00:45:21,550 --> 00:45:17,850 know that the thing was being recorded 1136 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:21,560 at all right so right it's scary 1137 00:45:27,650 --> 00:45:25,170 scary and you know we kind of assumed 1138 00:45:29,510 --> 00:45:27,660 why they were doing that when when 1139 00:45:31,930 --> 00:45:29,520 someone does decide to try to leave the 1140 00:45:34,820 --> 00:45:31,940 church you know you have oh yeah so much 1141 00:45:37,670 --> 00:45:34,830 people they have so much dirt on them 1142 00:45:39,290 --> 00:45:37,680 yeah so much so much dirt on them I want 1143 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:39,300 to get later on with some of the 1144 00:45:45,350 --> 00:45:42,530 celebrity members but but yeah okay yeah 1145 00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:45,360 we'll save that for the second part but 1146 00:45:51,380 --> 00:45:49,590 okay so the creation story so Xenu is 1147 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:51,390 there anything else within Scientology 1148 00:45:56,210 --> 00:45:54,090 that involves UFOs or aliens or is this 1149 00:45:59,120 --> 00:45:56,220 kind of the one mythology that 1150 00:46:02,030 --> 00:45:59,130 Scientology stands by there's actually a 1151 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:02,040 lot a lot more really and okay yeah you 1152 00:46:06,890 --> 00:46:04,170 you learn about because remember in 1153 00:46:10,460 --> 00:46:06,900 Scientology you learn very very early on 1154 00:46:12,980 --> 00:46:10,470 of Hubbard's concept of Satan's and you 1155 00:46:15,410 --> 00:46:12,990 know you yourself are a Satan and you 1156 00:46:17,390 --> 00:46:15,420 have past live stuff like that and then 1157 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:17,400 there's a particular there's a 1158 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:19,170 particular series of books in 1159 00:46:23,210 --> 00:46:20,970 Scientology they're called the research 1160 00:46:24,830 --> 00:46:23,220 and discovery volume bugs it's like I 1161 00:46:25,490 --> 00:46:24,840 think it's a volume of like seven or 1162 00:46:28,610 --> 00:46:25,500 eight of them 1163 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:28,620 there are transcripts of a bug 1164 00:46:33,500 --> 00:46:30,330 of lectures that Hubbard did in the 1165 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:33,510 early 1950s and going into like 1960 1166 00:46:38,990 --> 00:46:36,530 something where he talks about there's a 1167 00:46:41,690 --> 00:46:39,000 lecture I forget the name of it but I 1168 00:46:44,540 --> 00:46:41,700 but I remember very very vividly what he 1169 00:46:46,490 --> 00:46:44,550 was talking about and you know he's just 1170 00:46:47,990 --> 00:46:46,500 casually giving a lecture to people he's 1171 00:46:50,330 --> 00:46:48,000 like oh you know because he believed 1172 00:46:51,890 --> 00:46:50,340 that he could leave his body and you 1173 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:51,900 know travel to different places and 1174 00:46:54,820 --> 00:46:53,010 things like that you know kind of like 1175 00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:54,830 teleportation and things like that are 1176 00:46:59,900 --> 00:46:57,330 so he was talking about leaving his body 1177 00:47:01,640 --> 00:46:59,910 and he was like oh well you know 1178 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:01,650 yesterday I went up to the Van Allen 1179 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:02,970 belt and I was just sitting there just 1180 00:47:06,050 --> 00:47:04,530 looking at the stars and stuff like that 1181 00:47:08,270 --> 00:47:06,060 the Van Allen belt is that it's that 1182 00:47:10,910 --> 00:47:08,280 layer of radiation that surrounds earth 1183 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:10,920 I think is what it is okay okay and so 1184 00:47:13,700 --> 00:47:12,330 he was talking about yeah I'm I was 1185 00:47:15,590 --> 00:47:13,710 sitting up at the Van Allen belt and 1186 00:47:18,110 --> 00:47:15,600 like God do you guys have any idea how 1187 00:47:19,910 --> 00:47:18,120 warm it is up in space it was really 1188 00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:19,920 really weird and then he was telling the 1189 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:23,040 story and like he and then he had had a 1190 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:25,170 fleeting thought of like how he would 1191 00:47:29,270 --> 00:47:26,850 like to go to Mars and then he like 1192 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:29,280 popped like immediately popped him went 1193 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:33,210 straight to a an alien army base on Mars 1194 00:47:39,020 --> 00:47:37,050 and so so these are things that he said 1195 00:47:40,100 --> 00:47:39,030 in his lecture so when you're a kid or 1196 00:47:42,350 --> 00:47:40,110 when you're a young person in 1197 00:47:44,150 --> 00:47:42,360 Scientology reading about these stories 1198 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:44,160 and like he was talking about this thing 1199 00:47:50,900 --> 00:47:47,010 called the v invader forces and there 1200 00:47:51,380 --> 00:47:50,910 are an army of aliens that had a base on 1201 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:51,390 Mars 1202 00:47:56,570 --> 00:47:55,170 and apparently what he taught I don't 1203 00:47:58,790 --> 00:47:56,580 remember the exact story but basically 1204 00:48:00,710 --> 00:47:58,800 what he said was is that these different 1205 00:48:03,110 --> 00:48:00,720 waves of these alien forces they would 1206 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:03,120 take the criminals and they would take 1207 00:48:06,620 --> 00:48:04,770 the bad people from other planets and 1208 00:48:09,350 --> 00:48:06,630 they would dump them on earth so he 1209 00:48:13,490 --> 00:48:09,360 called earth like basically a prison for 1210 00:48:15,590 --> 00:48:13,500 the whole galaxy and and we were sort of 1211 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:15,600 like the last dumping ground for people 1212 00:48:19,700 --> 00:48:18,330 that they were trying to reheat the 1213 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:19,710 criminals that they were trying to 1214 00:48:23,090 --> 00:48:21,570 rehabilitate on other planets and things 1215 00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:23,100 like that so Christie so it's like 1216 00:48:28,340 --> 00:48:26,280 Australia almost almost yes so earth is 1217 00:48:30,470 --> 00:48:28,350 like the galaxies Australia but again 1218 00:48:32,690 --> 00:48:30,480 none of that stuff is confidential you 1219 00:48:36,190 --> 00:48:32,700 can go into and - excuse me go into any 1220 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:36,200 Church of Scientology and read about the 1221 00:48:40,730 --> 00:48:39,210 v of data forces and then he and then 1222 00:48:42,330 --> 00:48:40,740 the and then the thing about the Van 1223 00:48:44,750 --> 00:48:42,340 Allen belt he talks about having 1224 00:48:47,730 --> 00:48:44,760 bodies in pond where you have like a 1225 00:48:49,170 --> 00:48:47,740 twin or an exact copy of the body but 1226 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:49,180 it's an alien body on a very very 1227 00:48:52,290 --> 00:48:50,770 distant planet you can go in and read 1228 00:48:54,330 --> 00:48:52,300 all that stuff he doesn't hide it you 1229 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:54,340 take be clear after pre-clear after 1230 00:48:58,140 --> 00:48:56,170 briefly after paper you put up on 1231 00:49:00,120 --> 00:48:58,150 emitters you try to run them you try to 1232 00:49:10,770 --> 00:49:00,130 do this you try to do that straight on 1233 00:49:14,490 --> 00:49:10,780 and you body's communications spaceships 1234 00:49:24,750 --> 00:49:14,500 other planets locations beingness in 1235 00:49:27,390 --> 00:49:24,760 other states the thing you don't learn 1236 00:49:30,150 --> 00:49:27,400 about are the body Satan's in Xenu those 1237 00:49:32,340 --> 00:49:30,160 you don't learn until ot 3 I say see but 1238 00:49:35,910 --> 00:49:32,350 there's a lot of stuff about aliens and 1239 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:35,920 UFOs and bases and things like that and 1240 00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:37,570 it's and it's I thought it was really 1241 00:49:40,980 --> 00:49:39,250 cool when I was a kid I was like oh this 1242 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:40,990 is so cool I want to leave my body 1243 00:49:45,690 --> 00:49:43,570 invite just pop up to the pop up to the 1244 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:45,700 Mars base and things like that you know 1245 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:47,290 I was like this is awesome 1246 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:49,450 dude I mean I was just going to say that 1247 00:49:54,540 --> 00:49:52,450 as a person interested in all this stuff 1248 00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:54,550 since a very early age I would have 1249 00:50:00,000 --> 00:49:57,490 eaten that up knowing like actually 1250 00:50:02,250 --> 00:50:00,010 part of like the head of my religion 1251 00:50:03,810 --> 00:50:02,260 that would have like I would have been a 1252 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:03,820 Scientologist till the day I died 1253 00:50:08,460 --> 00:50:05,770 knowing that I could possibly go to Mars 1254 00:50:11,430 --> 00:50:08,470 and I'm gonna be honest with you there 1255 00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:11,440 are people in the UFO community right 1256 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:14,230 now touting those same stories that they 1257 00:50:19,050 --> 00:50:17,290 worked on a base on Mars and Obama was 1258 00:50:21,450 --> 00:50:19,060 there with them and they had to fight 1259 00:50:23,460 --> 00:50:21,460 this intergalactic I'm not kidding you 1260 00:50:26,370 --> 00:50:23,470 and people actually believe this stuff 1261 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:26,380 so when I hear you talking new and and 1262 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:29,050 the satans and these stories of you know 1263 00:50:34,710 --> 00:50:32,890 alien doppelgangers it sounds crazy to 1264 00:50:37,230 --> 00:50:34,720 the layman person but these are stories 1265 00:50:39,060 --> 00:50:37,240 I hear every single day from people who 1266 00:50:41,790 --> 00:50:39,070 claim that this actually happened so 1267 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:41,800 there's a lot of interconnectedness 1268 00:50:46,860 --> 00:50:43,930 between Scientology in the UFO field 1269 00:50:50,100 --> 00:50:46,870 obviously so this is why I'm so happy 1270 00:50:52,290 --> 00:50:50,110 that to hear you telling me all this 1271 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:52,300 it's it's it's crazy it doesn't sound as 1272 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:54,010 crazy as you think well and then and 1273 00:50:56,250 --> 00:50:55,210 then also the other thing that I was 1274 00:50:58,860 --> 00:50:56,260 gonna say too is that when I 1275 00:51:02,490 --> 00:50:58,870 was auditing people you know most of the 1276 00:51:04,350 --> 00:51:02,500 time we encourage the patient to go into 1277 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:04,360 a past life to talk about you know 1278 00:51:07,470 --> 00:51:05,890 whatever they want to talk about it's 1279 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:07,480 usually like some sort of a traumatic 1280 00:51:10,830 --> 00:51:09,010 thing that happened so like in 1281 00:51:12,690 --> 00:51:10,840 Scientology there's this there's this 1282 00:51:14,550 --> 00:51:12,700 concept of like if you had something bad 1283 00:51:16,020 --> 00:51:14,560 happen to you like you like I was 1284 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:16,030 auditing someone and they were like oh I 1285 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:17,650 got into a car accident the other day 1286 00:51:21,060 --> 00:51:19,450 and then you know we talk about that and 1287 00:51:23,910 --> 00:51:21,070 we go over it and talk about the pain 1288 00:51:25,860 --> 00:51:23,920 and you know like what did the car smell 1289 00:51:27,540 --> 00:51:25,870 like what did the and we tried to get 1290 00:51:29,970 --> 00:51:27,550 details of it because Hubbard believed 1291 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:29,980 that if you examine something in very 1292 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:32,410 very close detail you kind of get a you 1293 00:51:36,660 --> 00:51:34,210 kind of get a relief from the negativity 1294 00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:36,670 of it and then you go earlier okay when 1295 00:51:40,770 --> 00:51:39,190 was an earlier similar time you got into 1296 00:51:42,060 --> 00:51:40,780 a car accident and we would go back and 1297 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:42,070 we would go back and we go back and 1298 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:44,290 eventually people would go back into the 1299 00:51:48,450 --> 00:51:46,810 past lives so I'd say like okay when was 1300 00:51:51,380 --> 00:51:48,460 an earlier similar time he got into a 1301 00:51:54,870 --> 00:51:51,390 car accident oh you know in the in the 1302 00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:54,880 1850s I was in a woman's body and we 1303 00:51:58,410 --> 00:51:56,770 were in a buggy accident okay tell me 1304 00:52:00,420 --> 00:51:58,420 about an earlier similar and we would go 1305 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:00,430 back really far Wow to the point where 1306 00:52:05,430 --> 00:52:01,810 they were to the point where they would 1307 00:52:08,580 --> 00:52:05,440 say something like you know 74 billion 1308 00:52:11,220 --> 00:52:08,590 years ago I was on this weird planet and 1309 00:52:13,230 --> 00:52:11,230 we were like these these weird like 1310 00:52:14,700 --> 00:52:13,240 alien bodies and I remember we were in 1311 00:52:17,070 --> 00:52:14,710 this some sort of like a roundish 1312 00:52:19,110 --> 00:52:17,080 vehicle and it like crashed into an 1313 00:52:20,610 --> 00:52:19,120 asteroid when we were flying through 1314 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:20,620 space or something like that so I would 1315 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:22,810 hear these stories all the time there 1316 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:25,090 were people's personal stories okay 1317 00:52:28,980 --> 00:52:27,490 obviously interpretations of what they 1318 00:52:32,150 --> 00:52:28,990 thought they did in the past life but 1319 00:52:36,330 --> 00:52:32,160 it's like it was a very it was a very 1320 00:52:38,700 --> 00:52:36,340 alien and UFO sort of based concept what 1321 00:52:40,770 --> 00:52:38,710 was that um before ot3 1322 00:52:43,050 --> 00:52:40,780 yeah yeah yeah yeah how does when you 1323 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:43,060 because before you do the OT levels 1324 00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:46,450 you're required to be able to easily go 1325 00:52:51,990 --> 00:52:50,110 into your past life is okay okay because 1326 00:52:54,030 --> 00:52:52,000 by the time you get all of the earlier 1327 00:52:56,550 --> 00:52:54,040 auditing before you get to clear you 1328 00:52:58,620 --> 00:52:56,560 would have already gone you know past 1329 00:53:00,780 --> 00:52:58,630 life in your auditing many many many 1330 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:00,790 times gotcha it's interesting that you 1331 00:53:05,250 --> 00:53:02,890 would hear those stories before they 1332 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:05,260 learned like the creation story you know 1333 00:53:09,810 --> 00:53:07,810 right right but again all of the earlier 1334 00:53:10,230 --> 00:53:09,820 works when Hubbard talked about you know 1335 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:10,240 like 1336 00:53:16,530 --> 00:53:14,890 there was a book that they stopped 1337 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:16,540 publishing a couple years ago I don't 1338 00:53:19,890 --> 00:53:17,890 know why it's a book called have you 1339 00:53:22,170 --> 00:53:19,900 lived before this life and it's stories 1340 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:22,180 of people who talked about when they 1341 00:53:26,099 --> 00:53:24,010 went you know back in past lives and 1342 00:53:28,650 --> 00:53:26,109 stuff like that so it's like it it's a 1343 00:53:31,349 --> 00:53:28,660 very common concept for early on 1344 00:53:32,490 --> 00:53:31,359 Scientology people who who are studying 1345 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:32,500 this stuff okay 1346 00:53:36,060 --> 00:53:34,450 so they introduced the concept of going 1347 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:36,070 past lives and then of course he talks 1348 00:53:40,829 --> 00:53:37,570 about aliens and stuff in the non 1349 00:53:42,390 --> 00:53:40,839 confidential lectures so you get kind of 1350 00:53:44,370 --> 00:53:42,400 those ideas stuck in your head and then 1351 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:44,380 eventually when you get you know start 1352 00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:46,330 going up the bridge and start getting 1353 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:47,710 more and more auditing you're like okay 1354 00:53:51,540 --> 00:53:49,570 this is a regular thing though okay 1355 00:53:54,180 --> 00:53:51,550 gotcha sand there was there could be 1356 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:54,190 some influence early on before even 1357 00:54:01,349 --> 00:53:56,890 reaching the creation story yeah a lot 1358 00:54:04,020 --> 00:54:01,359 okay what so okay so during your ot3 1359 00:54:06,660 --> 00:54:04,030 level you decided to become a member of 1360 00:54:09,780 --> 00:54:06,670 the Sea Org and so could you 1361 00:54:12,870 --> 00:54:09,790 I know it's tough man I know stupid no 1362 00:54:15,780 --> 00:54:12,880 it was stupid okay okay you said it I 1363 00:54:17,849 --> 00:54:15,790 didn't but again this this is your life 1364 00:54:20,130 --> 00:54:17,859 and this is the navigation you took 1365 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:20,140 having been written into this so it 1366 00:54:24,900 --> 00:54:22,210 might sound stupid to a lot of people 1367 00:54:26,970 --> 00:54:24,910 but this was your life so could you just 1368 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:26,980 going to us what the Sea Org is how it's 1369 00:54:31,020 --> 00:54:28,810 different from just you know being a 1370 00:54:33,150 --> 00:54:31,030 regular Scientology member in yeah what 1371 00:54:35,460 --> 00:54:33,160 sort of like a two-day experience was in 1372 00:54:38,870 --> 00:54:35,470 the Sea Org okay okay so the sea the sea 1373 00:54:42,750 --> 00:54:38,880 organization was developed by Hubbard in 1374 00:54:45,060 --> 00:54:42,760 1967 or 1968 I think and what he did is 1375 00:54:48,839 --> 00:54:45,070 he got together a group of his most 1376 00:54:51,390 --> 00:54:48,849 hardcore Scientologists and set out on 1377 00:54:54,630 --> 00:54:51,400 the ocean so that the sea that's why 1378 00:54:57,750 --> 00:54:54,640 they call it the Sea Org so he created 1379 00:55:00,030 --> 00:54:57,760 his own little personal navy on this 1380 00:55:01,950 --> 00:55:00,040 boat and they sailed around the 1381 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:01,960 Caribbean and they sailed around the 1382 00:55:06,540 --> 00:55:04,450 Atlantic area for probably about a 1383 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:06,550 decade I think and basically what ha 1384 00:55:11,339 --> 00:55:08,770 what the Sea Org is is that it's for its 1385 00:55:13,620 --> 00:55:11,349 it's the it's the clergy of Scientology 1386 00:55:15,329 --> 00:55:13,630 okay so if you were gonna join the 1387 00:55:18,329 --> 00:55:15,339 priesthood or if you were gonna become a 1388 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:18,339 nun it's sort of the same thing as joint 1389 00:55:22,349 --> 00:55:19,930 like you would be joining the highest 1390 00:55:23,910 --> 00:55:22,359 ranks of Scientology and as part of your 1391 00:55:25,530 --> 00:55:23,920 commitment to the Sea Org your 1392 00:55:29,130 --> 00:55:25,540 supposed to sign a contract for 1 1393 00:55:31,230 --> 00:55:29,140 billion years so in the Sea Org you're 1394 00:55:33,299 --> 00:55:31,240 the concept is is that you work in the 1395 00:55:36,059 --> 00:55:33,309 Sea Org and you dedicate your entire 1396 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:36,069 life to Scientology and many other 1397 00:55:41,309 --> 00:55:38,770 future lifetimes and he says it very 1398 00:55:44,250 --> 00:55:41,319 very clearly he's like when you die you 1399 00:55:46,260 --> 00:55:44,260 have a 21-year break or a 21 year leave 1400 00:55:47,670 --> 00:55:46,270 of absence from the Sea Org and then 1401 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:47,680 when you go and you pick up a new body 1402 00:55:52,109 --> 00:55:50,290 and that body gets to grow up a little 1403 00:55:54,089 --> 00:55:52,119 bit after 21 years you're supposed to 1404 00:55:55,170 --> 00:55:54,099 come back another another interesting 1405 00:55:57,180 --> 00:55:55,180 thing about the seer and people that 1406 00:55:59,069 --> 00:55:57,190 don't normally know about this is that 1407 00:56:01,710 --> 00:55:59,079 there's a little bit of an alien twist 1408 00:56:03,359 --> 00:56:01,720 to it too Hubbard Hubbert Hubbard 1409 00:56:04,950 --> 00:56:03,369 believed that because I told you before 1410 00:56:06,329 --> 00:56:04,960 that earth was a dumping ground for like 1411 00:56:08,490 --> 00:56:06,339 the shittiest people of the gallic 1412 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:08,500 reading planet yeah the prison planet 1413 00:56:13,230 --> 00:56:11,410 Hubbard believed that most of the Sea 1414 00:56:15,750 --> 00:56:13,240 Org members that ended up joining the 1415 00:56:18,450 --> 00:56:15,760 Sea Org and did very well they were what 1416 00:56:20,490 --> 00:56:18,460 he called the loyal officers so the 1417 00:56:23,220 --> 00:56:20,500 loyal officers are the ones that 1418 00:56:25,109 --> 00:56:23,230 defeated Xenu back and back in the day 1419 00:56:28,530 --> 00:56:25,119 75 million years ago hmm 1420 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:28,540 okay so connected now yes correct so all 1421 00:56:34,140 --> 00:56:31,650 of the people who were running the 1422 00:56:35,700 --> 00:56:34,150 Galactic Confederation they didn't like 1423 00:56:37,859 --> 00:56:35,710 Xenu and he did this really horrible 1424 00:56:39,870 --> 00:56:37,869 thing and he killed a bunch of people so 1425 00:56:40,770 --> 00:56:39,880 they ended up figuring it out and they 1426 00:56:42,990 --> 00:56:40,780 captured him 1427 00:56:45,329 --> 00:56:43,000 so those he called them the loyal 1428 00:56:47,190 --> 00:56:45,339 officer so he believed and he told seer 1429 00:56:49,289 --> 00:56:47,200 members this that they were though that 1430 00:56:52,170 --> 00:56:49,299 they were the reincarnated loyal 1431 00:56:54,390 --> 00:56:52,180 officers so we were like oh my god I 1432 00:56:56,730 --> 00:56:54,400 feel like a like a like a like a like a 1433 00:56:59,039 --> 00:56:56,740 king in a castle I'm like the the creme 1434 00:57:01,380 --> 00:56:59,049 de la creme of the of the entire galaxy 1435 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:01,390 it's crazy so yes so that's what the 1436 00:57:05,609 --> 00:57:02,770 seer gives is you sign a billion-year 1437 00:57:09,780 --> 00:57:05,619 contract and you work live and sleep and 1438 00:57:11,700 --> 00:57:09,790 eat on Scientology property 24/7 you 1439 00:57:13,470 --> 00:57:11,710 don't get any days off you barely get 1440 00:57:16,620 --> 00:57:13,480 time off to see your family or like take 1441 00:57:19,339 --> 00:57:16,630 time to you know for anything and you 1442 00:57:21,930 --> 00:57:19,349 pretty much just slave away there for as 1443 00:57:24,450 --> 00:57:21,940 until you die or until you decide to 1444 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:24,460 leave okay so slave away so like what 1445 00:57:30,990 --> 00:57:26,890 what was like a typical day in the Sea 1446 00:57:33,539 --> 00:57:31,000 Org then for you so for me when I was an 1447 00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:33,549 auditor the auditors and the and the 1448 00:57:37,170 --> 00:57:35,650 people who actually deliver the courses 1449 00:57:37,590 --> 00:57:37,180 they have a little bit of an easier 1450 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:37,600 sched 1451 00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:39,250 as opposed to the people that just do 1452 00:57:42,750 --> 00:57:40,570 like the office worker like the 1453 00:57:45,300 --> 00:57:42,760 administration management stuff so it 1454 00:57:47,820 --> 00:57:45,310 was usually wake up at about 6:30 or 1455 00:57:51,420 --> 00:57:47,830 7:00 a.m. eat breakfast if you have time 1456 00:57:53,700 --> 00:57:51,430 you have to get to your morning kneading 1457 00:57:55,290 --> 00:57:53,710 they call it a muster because that the 1458 00:57:56,940 --> 00:57:55,300 military term it's like a muster where 1459 00:57:58,950 --> 00:57:56,950 you stand in the line and you know they 1460 00:58:01,830 --> 00:57:58,960 do like a little roll call thing by 8:00 1461 00:58:03,810 --> 00:58:01,840 a.m. or 8:30 you're there and you do 1462 00:58:06,180 --> 00:58:03,820 your morning meetings and like your your 1463 00:58:09,420 --> 00:58:06,190 orders of the day are given and then for 1464 00:58:11,340 --> 00:58:09,430 me is an auditor you go into the into 1465 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:11,350 the area where you do the auditing and 1466 00:58:15,180 --> 00:58:13,810 you audit all day long you take a 30 1467 00:58:17,780 --> 00:58:15,190 minute break for lunch a 30 minute break 1468 00:58:20,100 --> 00:58:17,790 for dinner a couple more meetings and 1469 00:58:22,740 --> 00:58:20,110 possibly some more meetings at night and 1470 00:58:25,590 --> 00:58:22,750 then you go to bed by 11:30 or midnight 1471 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:25,600 if you're lucky all day long so you 1472 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:27,010 weren't going to school or anything 1473 00:58:31,530 --> 00:58:29,890 during all this no no well by that time 1474 00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:31,540 cuz when I had joined the Sea Org I was 1475 00:58:36,420 --> 00:58:34,090 I was 18 or 19 I had already graduated 1476 00:58:38,490 --> 00:58:36,430 high school okay okay yeah I used that 1477 00:58:40,820 --> 00:58:38,500 term graduated loosely because I went to 1478 00:58:42,900 --> 00:58:40,830 a Scientology run school which was not a 1479 00:58:46,350 --> 00:58:42,910 accredited school so I technically 1480 00:58:48,930 --> 00:58:46,360 didn't actually oh okay so they had they 1481 00:58:49,380 --> 00:58:48,940 had their own educational system they 1482 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:49,390 did 1483 00:58:55,380 --> 00:58:54,010 Org and then so you get very very little 1484 00:58:58,470 --> 00:58:55,390 sleep at night you're working all day 1485 00:59:00,030 --> 00:58:58,480 seven days a week for fifty bucks a week 1486 00:59:03,060 --> 00:59:00,040 but all of your room and board is paid 1487 00:59:04,710 --> 00:59:03,070 for the food was shitty where I lived in 1488 00:59:07,770 --> 00:59:04,720 the dormitories and that big blue 1489 00:59:09,660 --> 00:59:07,780 building it's shared college style 1490 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:09,670 dormitories except I'm kind of compared 1491 00:59:15,630 --> 00:59:12,850 to prison style dormitory because it's 1492 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:15,640 like it's it's like it's like 15 to 25 1493 00:59:20,510 --> 00:59:18,130 people per per room in triple and triple 1494 00:59:23,820 --> 00:59:20,520 bunk beds the building is filled in 1495 00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:23,830 there's one bathroom on every single 1496 00:59:27,150 --> 00:59:25,180 floor I mean I'm sure they've renovated 1497 00:59:28,770 --> 00:59:27,160 it by now but when I was there there was 1498 00:59:30,270 --> 00:59:28,780 one bathroom on the floor that I lived I 1499 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:30,280 lived on the seventh floor of the main 1500 00:59:34,620 --> 00:59:31,930 building the one that has the actual 1501 00:59:36,300 --> 00:59:34,630 Scientology sign on it okay okay there 1502 00:59:38,250 --> 00:59:36,310 was one bathroom for the entire seventh 1503 00:59:40,230 --> 00:59:38,260 floor and only two shower stalls so 1504 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:40,240 every morning it would be like I'd have 1505 00:59:45,750 --> 00:59:41,890 to wait like 30 or 40 minutes just to 1506 00:59:47,670 --> 00:59:45,760 take a shower if I was lucky no and it 1507 00:59:50,220 --> 00:59:47,680 was very regimented while you were there 1508 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:50,230 as well like Jerry 1509 00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:52,570 you have to show up for every meeting 1510 00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:54,730 and every muster if you're late you get 1511 00:59:58,710 --> 00:59:57,250 sent to ethics if you don't show up you 1512 01:00:01,079 --> 00:59:58,720 get sent to ethics there's cameras 1513 01:00:04,770 --> 01:00:01,089 everywhere I remember a friend of mine 1514 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:04,780 who was in the same working in the same 1515 01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:06,490 organization with me she and I were kind 1516 01:00:11,430 --> 01:00:08,970 of kind of best friends at the time and 1517 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:11,440 every Tuesday or went no I'm sorry it 1518 01:00:16,109 --> 01:00:13,450 was every Wednesday for lunch it would 1519 01:00:17,490 --> 01:00:16,119 be chili and cornbread which I thought 1520 01:00:17,490 --> 01:00:18,030 was disgusting and looked like a pile of 1521 01:00:23,490 --> 01:00:21,180 she hit she hated it too so we would try 1522 01:00:25,500 --> 01:00:23,500 to sneak off of the base to go down the 1523 01:00:26,940 --> 01:00:25,510 street to Wendy's or like go to the 1524 01:00:28,650 --> 01:00:26,950 place there was a place right up the 1525 01:00:30,750 --> 01:00:28,660 street called those los burritos and 1526 01:00:33,839 --> 01:00:30,760 like go get a burrito I think he was 1527 01:00:36,060 --> 01:00:33,849 still there it's still there yes it's 1528 01:00:37,500 --> 01:00:36,070 it's it's yeah it's right on Sunset and 1529 01:00:37,859 --> 01:00:37,510 we would have to do it without getting 1530 01:00:40,349 --> 01:00:37,869 caught 1531 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:40,359 I was one of the lucky ones cuz I didn't 1532 01:00:44,010 --> 01:00:41,890 grow up in the Sea Org like she did so I 1533 01:00:45,329 --> 01:00:44,020 had a car most CA members don't have 1534 01:00:47,099 --> 01:00:45,339 cars most young members don't have 1535 01:00:48,300 --> 01:00:47,109 driver's licenses most of them don't 1536 01:00:50,819 --> 01:00:48,310 have bank accounts or anything but 1537 01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:50,829 anyway that's a separate thing so we so 1538 01:00:53,579 --> 01:00:52,450 we would have to sneak off and they have 1539 01:00:55,559 --> 01:00:53,589 cameras everywhere and they have 1540 01:00:58,829 --> 01:00:55,569 security guards roaming around on 1541 01:01:01,319 --> 01:00:58,839 bicycles constantly 24/7 oh yeah I and 1542 01:01:03,359 --> 01:01:01,329 absolutions yeah so we would have to 1543 01:01:05,069 --> 01:01:03,369 like run to the parking structure and 1544 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:05,079 make sure that there were no security 1545 01:01:07,890 --> 01:01:06,250 guards and she would kind of keep 1546 01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:07,900 watching we would have to like run and 1547 01:01:13,500 --> 01:01:10,810 go grab our food scarf it down and come 1548 01:01:16,589 --> 01:01:13,510 back and be on time because we only had 1549 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:16,599 a 30-minute window for lunch if if we 1550 01:01:20,339 --> 01:01:18,490 were lucky sometimes we sometimes we 1551 01:01:22,890 --> 01:01:20,349 didn't take a meal break at all because 1552 01:01:24,990 --> 01:01:22,900 I was still auditing someone you can't 1553 01:01:26,609 --> 01:01:25,000 just arbitrarily end the session in the 1554 01:01:28,559 --> 01:01:26,619 middle of the thing with the finish 1555 01:01:31,290 --> 01:01:28,569 whatever you're doing and so it was very 1556 01:01:33,450 --> 01:01:31,300 it was very very regimented and there 1557 01:01:35,069 --> 01:01:33,460 were pretty much no freedoms to kind of 1558 01:01:38,130 --> 01:01:35,079 do anything or whatever we want I think 1559 01:01:41,819 --> 01:01:38,140 in the four years that I was in the Sea 1560 01:01:45,450 --> 01:01:41,829 Org I probably took maybe five or six 1561 01:01:48,210 --> 01:01:45,460 days off total in that entire time Wow 1562 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:48,220 so yeah it's it's it's it was a it was a 1563 01:01:54,059 --> 01:01:50,130 pretty shitty time it was very shitty 1564 01:01:55,859 --> 01:01:54,069 okay so yeah I can only imagine four and 1565 01:01:58,170 --> 01:01:55,869 a half years of your life just sort of 1566 01:02:00,150 --> 01:01:58,180 gone at that point and you did mention 1567 01:02:02,710 --> 01:02:00,160 that your whole family were members of 1568 01:02:06,550 --> 01:02:02,720 Scientology so 1569 01:02:08,890 --> 01:02:06,560 were they were you like reporting back 1570 01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:08,900 to them like the state and condition you 1571 01:02:12,610 --> 01:02:10,730 were in while you were there at all no 1572 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:12,620 you're not allowed to anything that 1573 01:02:16,180 --> 01:02:14,570 happens in anything that happens in the 1574 01:02:18,430 --> 01:02:16,190 Sea Org you're not allowed to talk about 1575 01:02:20,350 --> 01:02:18,440 outside of the sea or because when you 1576 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:20,360 have people who are inside Scientology 1577 01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:22,610 you can just be a Scientologist and be a 1578 01:02:26,500 --> 01:02:24,170 regular human like you know you can have 1579 01:02:29,350 --> 01:02:26,510 a job and live in your own

1635 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:34,730 year old man yeah and he was exhausted 1636 01:04:38,859 --> 01:04:36,050 and it was midnight and he wanted to go 1637 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:38,869 to bed and of course a younger much more 1638 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:40,730 strong searing member comes up and said 1639 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:43,010 don't you dare go to bed and then he 1640 01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:44,210 tried to push him out of the way and 1641 01:04:47,380 --> 01:04:45,410 then he knocked him in the you know 1642 01:04:49,510 --> 01:04:47,390 knocked him in the eye and that was a 1643 01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:49,520 regular that was a regular everyday 1644 01:04:52,870 --> 01:04:51,530 occurrence when I was in the Sea Org and 1645 01:04:55,599 --> 01:04:52,880 it was an ax was horrible 1646 01:04:57,010 --> 01:04:55,609 I saw people Hubbard Hubbard invented 1647 01:04:59,290 --> 01:04:57,020 this thing called throwing somebody 1648 01:05:02,170 --> 01:04:59,300 overboard so when he was on the when he 1649 01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:02,180 was on the boat in the 1960s when an 1650 01:05:07,150 --> 01:05:05,210 auditor screwed up and did something 1651 01:05:08,770 --> 01:05:07,160 that was technically wrong he created 1652 01:05:10,870 --> 01:05:08,780 this over boarding ceremony where they 1653 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:10,880 would take the auditor and they would 1654 01:05:15,930 --> 01:05:12,770 have like a little ceremony on the side 1655 01:05:19,650 --> 01:05:15,940 deck of the ship and say you know I 1656 01:05:21,390 --> 01:05:19,660 I throw you and your and your mistakes 1657 01:05:23,220 --> 01:05:21,400 into the ocean deep and when you come 1658 01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:23,230 out of the water may you arise a free 1659 01:05:25,710 --> 01:05:24,850 man and free from your mistakes or 1660 01:05:27,570 --> 01:05:25,720 something like that it was like this 1661 01:05:29,340 --> 01:05:27,580 weird thing that he used to do sand they 1662 01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:29,350 would literally throw people over the 1663 01:05:32,910 --> 01:05:31,450 side and dump him into the water as like 1664 01:05:34,710 --> 01:05:32,920 a punishment for screwing up as an 1665 01:05:36,810 --> 01:05:34,720 auditor so then when I was in the sea or 1666 01:05:39,390 --> 01:05:36,820 I get the big blue bass that's not a 1667 01:05:41,550 --> 01:05:39,400 ship they didn't have an ocean so they 1668 01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:41,560 would stand people up they would get all 1669 01:05:45,810 --> 01:05:43,330 of the auditors and all of the technical 1670 01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:45,820 staff in a group and the person would 1671 01:05:49,350 --> 01:05:47,650 who screwed up would stand in front of 1672 01:05:50,730 --> 01:05:49,360 everybody and say I screwed up as an 1673 01:05:52,770 --> 01:05:50,740 auditor I did this and this and this 1674 01:05:55,109 --> 01:05:52,780 wrong and then the ethics officer would 1675 01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:55,119 spray them with a hose in their full 1676 01:06:00,390 --> 01:05:57,850 uniform as like a punishment okay and 1677 01:06:01,859 --> 01:06:00,400 that was oh so demeaning and I felt so 1678 01:06:03,330 --> 01:06:01,869 bad for the poor woman because she's 1679 01:06:05,070 --> 01:06:03,340 like this fifty or six year old woman 1680 01:06:07,020 --> 01:06:05,080 she's been in the Sea Org forever and 1681 01:06:09,690 --> 01:06:07,030 she has to stand there and be punished 1682 01:06:12,090 --> 01:06:09,700 in front of all these people and it was 1683 01:06:13,350 --> 01:06:12,100 it was it wasn't until many years later 1684 01:06:15,090 --> 01:06:13,360 that I realized it wasn't just 1685 01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:15,100 punishment for her it was because they 1686 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:16,690 wanted to just scare the out of us 1687 01:06:20,460 --> 01:06:18,970 it's not for them it was for us because 1688 01:06:22,380 --> 01:06:20,470 they were like you see you see what 1689 01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:22,390 happens if you up right and it's 1690 01:06:27,780 --> 01:06:24,730 it's again coming back to that idea that 1691 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:27,790 it's all based on control like what 1692 01:06:32,250 --> 01:06:30,130 through fear you know there's like 1693 01:06:34,890 --> 01:06:32,260 there's it sounds to me like there's 1694 01:06:36,810 --> 01:06:34,900 very little reward to ever come out of 1695 01:06:39,210 --> 01:06:36,820 this quote-unquote religion it's all 1696 01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:39,220 about the things you've done wrong and 1697 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:42,010 that are in it you think you've you've 1698 01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:43,690 achieved something they find something 1699 01:06:47,460 --> 01:06:45,970 else right you did wrong that's right 1700 01:06:50,190 --> 01:06:47,470 it's frustrating the hell out of me just 1701 01:06:52,410 --> 01:06:50,200 hearing all this man no no it's I mean 1702 01:06:53,940 --> 01:06:52,420 it makes me it makes me red in the face 1703 01:06:55,530 --> 01:06:53,950 when I think about it I mean it's it's 1704 01:06:56,940 --> 01:06:55,540 horrific the stuff that people had to 1705 01:06:58,470 --> 01:06:56,950 suffer through this thing not just me 1706 01:07:00,510 --> 01:06:58,480 like I feel bad for the other people 1707 01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:00,520 right and then you know you have come 1708 01:07:06,270 --> 01:07:03,130 complacent and I'm sure like there were 1709 01:07:08,730 --> 01:07:06,280 times that you had to turn someone in or 1710 01:07:10,140 --> 01:07:08,740 you know stuff like that yeah it's just 1711 01:07:12,690 --> 01:07:10,150 this thing going on in your psyche 1712 01:07:14,300 --> 01:07:12,700 constantly yeah and and like you said 1713 01:07:16,970 --> 01:07:14,310 before it's like that it's the it's the 1714 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:16,980 snitchin culture and we were all 1715 01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:20,530 complacent okay so snitchin culture 1716 01:07:26,460 --> 01:07:22,930 let's let's literally touch on that how 1717 01:07:26,820 --> 01:07:26,470 and why did you leave the Sea Org I know 1718 01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:26,830 this 1719 01:07:32,820 --> 01:07:29,410 is probably attend yes yeah let's go 1720 01:07:34,500 --> 01:07:32,830 through no no no it's it's it's I can I 1721 01:07:36,690 --> 01:07:34,510 can definitely talk about it now and not 1722 01:07:40,710 --> 01:07:36,700 and not be freaked out about it or thank 1723 01:07:45,510 --> 01:07:40,720 God so yeah so for those of you don't 1724 01:07:47,010 --> 01:07:45,520 know I am gay and I hid the fact that 1725 01:07:49,980 --> 01:07:47,020 well I tried to hide it it's kind of 1726 01:07:52,140 --> 01:07:49,990 hard to hide but I tried to you know for 1727 01:07:53,660 --> 01:07:52,150 years when I was in time in Scientology 1728 01:07:57,960 --> 01:07:53,670 because Scientology's very homophobic 1729 01:08:02,280 --> 01:07:57,970 they do not allow anybody that's openly 1730 01:08:04,380 --> 01:08:02,290 gay to continue past clear basically on 1731 01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:04,390 the bridge to total freedom and they 1732 01:08:07,890 --> 01:08:06,130 think it's an aberration they think it's 1733 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:07,900 an abomination they think all kinds of 1734 01:08:11,670 --> 01:08:09,850 things about it so I was hiding this 1735 01:08:14,310 --> 01:08:11,680 fact for a very very long time and then 1736 01:08:17,550 --> 01:08:14,320 while I was in the Sea Org I developed a 1737 01:08:20,790 --> 01:08:17,560 crush on a on another searing member who 1738 01:08:22,890 --> 01:08:20,800 was also a man and we had a we had a 1739 01:08:24,570 --> 01:08:22,900 very emotional relationship we never 1740 01:08:26,700 --> 01:08:24,580 really touched each other we never did 1741 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:26,710 anything physically gay but there was a 1742 01:08:31,260 --> 01:08:28,530 lot of flirting and there was a lot of 1743 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:31,270 you know like secret secret note 1744 01:08:36,090 --> 01:08:33,010 writings and and just a very very 1745 01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:36,100 heavily emotional and it was amazing for 1746 01:08:40,710 --> 01:08:37,410 me because I had never actually 1747 01:08:43,380 --> 01:08:40,720 experienced a anything really that gay 1748 01:08:45,270 --> 01:08:43,390 before so I was very happy about it but 1749 01:08:47,430 --> 01:08:45,280 we both knew that we had to keep it a 1750 01:08:49,710 --> 01:08:47,440 secret and then eventually they found 1751 01:08:53,190 --> 01:08:49,720 out about it because of my mother my 1752 01:08:55,079 --> 01:08:53,200 mother snitched on me so yes so when 1753 01:08:57,930 --> 01:08:55,089 you're in the Sea Org you're not allowed 1754 01:09:00,660 --> 01:08:57,940 to have a cell phone so what did I do 1755 01:09:02,610 --> 01:09:00,670 I used to call this other boy I'm not 1756 01:09:07,250 --> 01:09:02,620 gonna say his name because he well I'm 1757 01:09:10,620 --> 01:09:07,260 not gonna say so he no no so he so I 1758 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:10,630 used my because luckily I came from a 1759 01:09:15,090 --> 01:09:13,570 very wealthy family and I was one of the 1760 01:09:17,070 --> 01:09:15,100 lucky seer members I didn't have to 1761 01:09:19,220 --> 01:09:17,080 worry about you know starving and I had 1762 01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:19,230 a car bah-bah-bah but I also had a 1763 01:09:24,870 --> 01:09:21,730 prepaid phone card and this was back in 1764 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:24,880 like 96 or 97 no I'm sorry I was like 98 1765 01:09:30,060 --> 01:09:27,250 and they had payphones inside of the 1766 01:09:32,490 --> 01:09:30,070 churches of Scientology so every couple 1767 01:09:34,440 --> 01:09:32,500 of days I would call the guy that I had 1768 01:09:37,260 --> 01:09:34,450 a crush on but I used my parents phone 1769 01:09:38,970 --> 01:09:37,270 card so one day my mom I guess she got 1770 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:38,980 the bill for the thing and she sent it 1771 01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:40,690 to the ethics officer she sent the 1772 01:09:44,790 --> 01:09:42,970 phone bill to the ethics officer and was 1773 01:09:46,980 --> 01:09:44,800 like hey you should you should check in 1774 01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:46,990 the Joey and see like he's calling the 1775 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:48,610 same number for

at the 1779 01:09:57,660 --> 01:09:55,750 Clearwater Church of Scientology so I 1780 01:09:59,190 --> 01:09:57,670 was calling Florida almost the exact 1781 01:10:01,790 --> 01:09:59,200 same time every single day because it 1782 01:10:04,110 --> 01:10:01,800 was during our dinner it was during my 1783 01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:04,120 lunch time and during his break time I 1784 01:10:07,980 --> 01:10:06,250 think is I think is what it was okay so 1785 01:10:10,500 --> 01:10:07,990 anyway so she snitched on me so then the 1786 01:10:12,390 --> 01:10:10,510 ethics officer came in and she was like 1787 01:10:14,940 --> 01:10:12,400 you're gonna get a security check and 1788 01:10:16,860 --> 01:10:14,950 then they put me in session they put me 1789 01:10:19,860 --> 01:10:16,870 on the e meter and then they had someone 1790 01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:19,870 pounding at me for like hours being like 1791 01:10:24,060 --> 01:10:21,730 you know what is this thing like why you 1792

they did the 1795 01:10:32,790 --> 01:10:31,120 same thing on Florida and then that's 1796 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:32,800 how I got in trouble so they found out 1797 01:10:40,290 --> 01:10:38,010 about the gay situation and they 1798 01:10:44,460 --> 01:10:40,300 continued to do security checks on me 1799 01:10:47,070 --> 01:10:44,470 asking me all kinds of very harsh and 1800 01:10:49,770 --> 01:10:47,080 very graphic questions like specifically 1801 01:10:51,540 --> 01:10:49,780 asking for you know the sexual stuff 1802 01:10:53,850 --> 01:10:51,550 like did you ever have anal sex with 1803 01:10:56,370 --> 01:10:53,860 such as name did you ever have oral sex 1804 01:10:58,080 --> 01:10:56,380 with such as name did you ever touch so 1805 01:11:00,120 --> 01:10:58,090 and so and so his name's penis did 1806 01:11:01,980 --> 01:11:00,130 so-and-so ever touch her but like I mean 1807 01:11:03,930 --> 01:11:01,990 like really and I kept telling him like 1808 01:11:05,790 --> 01:11:03,940 no no no we never touched each other we 1809 01:11:07,860 --> 01:11:05,800 never touch each other and they didn't 1810 01:11:10,730 --> 01:11:07,870 believe me so they kept going at it and 1811 01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:10,740 they kept like screaming at me and 1812 01:11:14,970 --> 01:11:12,880 trying to get me to confess and then 1813 01:11:16,440 --> 01:11:14,980 finally after I don't know how long it 1814 01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:16,450 was it was like two months of that on 1815 01:11:20,700 --> 01:11:18,490 like in every single day basis and 1816 01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:20,710 although all the while they have 1817 01:11:27,330 --> 01:11:23,890 security guard watching me 24/7 and I 1818 01:11:30,390 --> 01:11:27,340 was put into a windowless room on the 1819 01:11:31,890 --> 01:11:30,400 7th floor of the main building and the 1820 01:11:34,410 --> 01:11:31,900 security guard would sleep in the room 1821 01:11:36,030 --> 01:11:34,420 with me and but he put his bed against 1822 01:11:39,060 --> 01:11:36,040 the door at night so that if I tried to 1823 01:11:40,590 --> 01:11:39,070 escape I would wake him up the only time 1824 01:11:42,450 --> 01:11:40,600 I was allowed to leave the room was to 1825 01:11:45,090 --> 01:11:42,460 go to the bathroom which I also had to 1826 01:11:46,890 --> 01:11:45,100 have an escort to go with me or to walk 1827 01:11:49,530 --> 01:11:46,900 across the street to get my security 1828 01:11:52,020 --> 01:11:49,540 checks so that lasted for about two 1829 01:11:54,060 --> 01:11:52,030 months and then eventually they were 1830 01:11:58,110 --> 01:11:54,070 like you are gay 1831 01:11:59,820 --> 01:11:58,120 you are not allowed to be the Sea Org 1832 01:12:01,410 --> 01:11:59,830 anymore we're kicking you out 1833 01:12:04,220 --> 01:12:01,420 and then they handed me a bill for forty 1834 01:12:07,650 --> 01:12:04,230 thousand dollars and then kicked me out 1835 01:12:09,630 --> 01:12:07,660 okay okay so they kick you out and then 1836 01:12:11,670 --> 01:12:09,640 I've heard this is what's called the 1837 01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:11,680 freeloader dead right yes 1838 01:12:17,190 --> 01:12:13,930 exactly so when you're in the sea 1839 01:12:19,380 --> 01:12:17,200 organization you get all of your courses 1840 01:12:21,150 --> 01:12:19,390 your training and your auditing for free 1841 01:12:22,709 --> 01:12:21,160 what they don't tell you is is that if 1842 01:12:24,780 --> 01:12:22,719 you ever decide to leave the Sea Org 1843 01:12:26,910 --> 01:12:24,790 they've been keeping track of all of the 1844 01:12:29,790 --> 01:12:26,920 things that you've done during your 1845 01:12:30,959 --> 01:12:29,800 stint in the sea in the Sea Org so even 1846 01:12:33,030 --> 01:12:30,969 though you take those courses for free 1847 01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:33,040 they keep a track of everything and if 1848 01:12:35,850 --> 01:12:34,690 you ever do decide to leave then they 1849 01:12:37,110 --> 01:12:35,860 hand you a bill and they're like oh by 1850 01:12:39,330 --> 01:12:37,120 the way you owe us money for all the 1851 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:39,340 stuff which of course I think legally is 1852 01:12:42,300 --> 01:12:41,050 complete because they can't act 1853 01:12:43,860 --> 01:12:42,310 it doesn't actually affect your credit 1854 01:12:46,830 --> 01:12:43,870 or anything like that it's just if you 1855 01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:46,840 want to ever continue in Scientology if 1856 01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:48,850 you want to be a member in good standing 1857 01:12:56,459 --> 01:12:51,130 you have to pay your free letter debts 1858 01:12:59,040 --> 01:12:56,469 so stupid me I paid it well actually my 1859 01:13:01,860 --> 01:12:59,050 dad paid for it because he made uh my 1860 01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:01,870 dad basically was like you know I'm 1861 01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:03,489 really pissed off that you left the Sea 1862 01:13:07,140 --> 01:13:05,290 Org and I can't believe you like did all 1863 01:13:08,610 --> 01:13:07,150 these things so you're gonna come work 1864 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:08,620 for me in the family business and I'm 1865 01:13:12,140 --> 01:13:09,850 gonna pay your freeloader debt but 1866 01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:12,150 you're gonna work it off no was he I 1867 01:13:17,729 --> 01:13:14,650 mean because he is a prominent member 1868 01:13:20,550 --> 01:13:17,739 and it has been for life obviously he 1869 01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:20,560 was he was disappointed but he was he 1870 01:13:24,750 --> 01:13:22,090 was the kind of father who would help 1871 01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:24,760 you out he was yeah and did he did he 1872 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:27,610 know that this was all because you had 1873 01:13:35,370 --> 01:13:31,330 essentially been forced to come out yes 1874 01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:35,380 because they had the the seen some of 1875 01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:37,210 the senior ethics officers or the senior 1876 01:13:42,570 --> 01:13:39,730 ethics people had pulled my parents in 1877 01:13:44,729 --> 01:13:42,580 and had a meeting with them on the side 1878 01:13:46,709 --> 01:13:44,739 without my knowing about it and told 1879 01:13:48,990 --> 01:13:46,719 them everything they were like so Joey 1880 01:13:51,060 --> 01:13:49,000 did this and Joey did that and we're 1881 01:13:52,830 --> 01:13:51,070 kicking him out and this is why and 1882 01:13:54,390 --> 01:13:52,840 we're just letting you know because they 1883 01:13:56,910 --> 01:13:54,400 had to make sure to keep them on board 1884 01:13:58,560 --> 01:13:56,920 because if they left that that would be 1885 01:14:01,020 --> 01:13:58,570 a huge meal ticket for them but they 1886 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:01,030 would have lost I see and they needed to 1887 01:14:04,830 --> 01:14:02,890 they needed to keep them happy you know 1888 01:14:07,050 --> 01:14:04,840 because most of the big donors in 1889 01:14:07,050 --> 01:14:07,650 Scientology can get away with a lot of 1890 01:14:11,460 --> 01:14:09,630 because they donate so much money and 1891 01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:11,470 this was and this was one of the things 1892 01:14:17,670 --> 01:14:14,530 where they did not want to they don't 1893 01:14:19,950 --> 01:14:17,680 want to lose them as Scientologists yeah 1894 01:14:21,990 --> 01:14:19,960 so so my dad was like
