Hey gang, I don't get around here to post as much as I'd like these days with the amount of work I'm doing, plus a social life that actually involves hanging around with other people and doing fun things. About a month ago I started on a dedicated effort to produce two videos each week for my YouTube channel - a Q&A video every Sunday and a content/education video for Thursday release. So far I'm pulling this off and getting into the workflow of it in addition to my regular job and life but it sure has kept me busier than I imagined it would. Producing these videos involves a lot more than just sitting in front of a webcam and riffing on whatever's on my mind at that moment.
I have not run into any shortage of ideas so far, but ever since the Toronto Getting Clear conference last week, my mind has been racing with new ideas and more material to get out about Scientology. I've got something I'm putting together about the language of pseudoscience and the Purification Rundown and I expect to have it done next week. Plus there are about six or seven other video ideas just sitting half-finished in my "In-Progress" folder. But I'm particularly happy with this, my first effort since the conference,which basically breaks down in 7 minutes my total viewpoint on what Scientology is really all about.
I just wanted to share here that after all the years I spent in Scientology and now 2 years out, with everything I've learned, I don't see my viewpoint changing particularly. I feel I'm in a good place personally - never better actually - and am no longer hung up on the subject, what I went through with it or feel that I need a lot more "recovery" from the thought stopping and mind-control mechanisms built into every level of Scientology. This is not to say that I'm all done with the whole process, just that I know I've hit a plateau where I'm no longer worried about it or what it did to me and the rest of my life ahead is looking pretty damn good.
That all being said, here is my latest effort to explain what Scientology and Hubbard are all about. I'm more than interested in any feedback on this.
