#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

So therefore, no one else is going to accomplish it as well.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

If L. Ron Hubbard had accomplished it, Miscavige knows, well, he didn't write it up.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

He didn't leave instructions for how anyone else would accomplish it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

So no matter what, Miscavige knows

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

That the fundamental promise that what Scientology is saying they will be able to deliver to mankind is a lie.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Now, it's going to sound like I'm contradicting myself because it sounds like I'm saying, well, he knows it's bullshit.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

I think he believes that L. Ron Hubbard just failed to finish his work.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

And he's kind of hoping L. Ron Hubbard is going to come back to finish the job.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Because L. Ron Hubbard did tell the people at the international management base, at least a core of them, that he was coming back.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Now, we know that David Miscavige believed this because right around the 21-year mark, he was supposed to come back like 21 years after he died.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Right around the 21-year mark, David Miscavige was getting busy putting some things in place that had to get done in case L. Ron Hubbard came back.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

So we know he at least believed to that level.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

If you were full OT, you could.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

I'm going to answer this question by first connecting some dots.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Yes.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Okay.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

We spoke earlier in the interview about achieving your native godlike state.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

That in Scientology is called native state.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Okay.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Native state and full operating thetan mean the exact same thing.
