He may well have known exactly what he was doing, but if he was gonna make up OTIII as a story wouldn't he come up with an original name?
Any suggestions?
Xarg the Implanter?
Threnobulak the Wicked?
I don't think so.
I think it reflects either his drug-addled state that Alan and Dart report, as well as Kima Douglas and others, wherein he free-associates the name and doesn't realize where he's seen it. Or, he intentionally used the name that would later be found out by the rubes, but long after he was gone.
It certainly shows that he was unoriginal, and almost completely incapable of making shit up himself.
And remember, Incident 1 comes from the primitive ritual the locals were performing on the island they were staying at when Hubbard wrote OT III.
This is one of those times where I totally get someone else's viewpoint and it makes good sense, but I don't necessarily share it.
So how do you see the Scientology Xenu story?
I don't know. I see a number of possibilities. What's more important to me is how important it is. I don't know that either. Not doing very well am I?
After my experience in Scn and my other studies I look over life and find that there is very little I am absolutely certain of. Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be as much of a bummer as it might sound. I guess that's because, even though my life could hardly be described as a roaring success, I know basically who I am and I'm happy to be wrong about anything, even the things I "know".
Okay, so what am I fairly confident about?
Well, I think that those who get onto OTIII are not sufficiently well-prepared for it. I think if someone has not spotted BT phenomena for themselves then they shouldn't be on the level. I think that one has to be in bloody good shape before being certain that one is not mocking-up something that another (especially such a strong "authority" as Hubbard) has told you will be found.
I think that the Church is out of it's depth in the OTIII and NOTS band. They happily attest hundreds of public on VII and then, Oh no!, there's millions more of the little buggers to be found. Also, if I have understood correctly, at some point III and V were considered to be the end of BT case. So, basically, I don't think they know what they are doing.
If this ramble has failed to answer your question then I apologise. I'm happy to answer any specific questions if I haven't already sent you to sleep.
It's really embarrassing.
Hubbard knew exactly what he was doing.
I'm trying to figure out exactly how to regard myself at this point.
I'm sure anyone who has fallen hard for a con feels this way.
But for 16 years...
Man. Was I an idiot or what?
Well, at least I can always remind myself not to take myself too seriously.
So I got that goin' for me, thanks to Scientology.

One has to be very high on the gradation and awareness chart in order to get case gain from running incidents that may or may not be true on things that may or may not exist.
