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

Like if you're committing present time, overts, crimes, sins, Scientologists would be like, that's part of the reason auditing isn't working on you is because you're committing criminal behavior that you're not being honest about.

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

So every Scientologist is sort of incentivized to make auditing work on them, okay?

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

Now, Lex, this is where it gets a little crazy.

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

On OT3, you learn about the body things for the first time.

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

When you finish OT3, you attest to having achieved the state of having no more body things.

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

And then you start OT4,

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

And he's like, psych, you got more.

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

You got more BTs, except those other BTs, they had drug problems and that's why you couldn't find them the first time.

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

So we're gonna do something a little different here, do something a little different there.

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

Gotta get rid of these BTs that were addicted to drugs, okay?

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

Then you finish OT4 and you're thinking, man, I hope we get to the good stuff soon.

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

And then you get to OT5 and he's like, psych, you got more BTs.

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

You couldn't find these BTs because they were all bunched up together in clusters.

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

And first you have to break up the clusters and then you can get rid of the BTs.

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

And you're like, okay, got to do that.

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

And this was all L. Ron Hubbard approved.

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

Yeah, this is from L. Ron Hubbard.

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

And then after you finish OT5, you get rid of all the BT clusters.

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

OT6 is just a training course to teach you how to audit OT7.

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

Well, OT7 is now more BTs, except it's in the environment and stuff.
