And so my point is, as an auditor doing a lot of auditing, you know, you're going to have someone in front of you called the pre-clear is the person in front of you who's getting the auditing called the PC or the pre-clear.

They see, over and over and over again, these PCs having these sort of euphoric states and floating needles, and I feel great and fantastic, and oh, thanks, you saved my life, and da-da-da-da-da.

Like, I've always said, if people didn't find Scientology helpful, nobody would ever stay in Scientology.

Right?

And so auditors are pretty much the ones doing the heavy lifting of what it even means to be a Scientologist.

Those guys aren't the ones that you end up having crisis of faith.

I mean, doing Scientology auditing, it doesn't require that you believe, just have faith that you believe something.

You just have to go through these motions.

And Scientologists, one of the reasons Scientologists think this is all scientific is because it's like, I don't care if you believe why this works.

I care how you feel at the end of an auditing session.

I would argue that what you've just described, it could be an identical description of what it feels like and what it means to go up Scientology's bridge to total freedom.

you are reinforcing to yourself that everything's getting better and better and better.

And you'd be like, you don't spend time with your family anymore.

You're broke, even though you make a lot of money.

You're always stressed.

You're at the beck and call of these people who seem to run your lives.

Like how a Scientologist feels about their own life is, it's very interesting to compare that to how that person's life looks to their non-Scientology family members.

I get contacted by a lot of people who've never been in Scientology, but they're like, I got a family member who's really deep and I just, can you help me understand some things?

Why is this person's life like this?
