Shatnerology

This First Church of Shatnerology Handbook for New Operating TOUPEE's (NOT) should come in handy.

A SubSupplicant stuck on the track is stuck in the time flow. Time itself has stuck as a flow and the UnterBeing is stuck at that point in the past. An effective way of jacking SubSupplicants is to put an effort-postulate there to move them a little earlier than the stuck point. This jolts them loose on the time track and they come up to present time and jack off.

In case this looks like utter nonsense with no happeningness in the time-track, it is worth a comparison with the Oxford Capacity Analysis test. Some years ago I tried to get the Church of Scientology to send me a copy of this, the personality test their representatives are after getting people to take. I ended up having to change my phone number to be rid of their pestery phone calls and never did get a copy of the test. But lo, the wonder that is "the internet" now provides both the test and L. Ron Hubbard's optimal answers.

This is the criticised "personality test" which for many is the first introduction to the "Church" of Scientology. Originally called "American Personality Analysis", but probably changed to "Oxford Capacity Analysis" (OCA) because "Oxford" carries more weight. The original test was created by psychologist Julia Lewis and was later adopted and edited by CoS. The alleged Scientology front company U-MAN use the same test when they do recruitment work for companies.

Some Scientology documents prove more elusive which is a shame as this is rivoting, if poorly written and conceived, latter-day gnostic fun. Some otherwise unavailable materials, subject to copyright and so forth, are nonetheless in the public sphere as part of the Fishman Affidavit made available by multiple Dutch court rulings and, of course, thanks to the technological marvel that is "the internet". Take this ostensibly super-secret inner-revelation of Scientology OT VIII B document, for example. But then the Church may or may not claim it is a forgery so no harm no foul. Excepting perhaps the bit about Jesus "being a lover of young boys and men" and "given to uncontrollable bursts of temper and hatred". The idea that the man we knew as L. Ron Hubbard was some kind of alien Anti-Christ messiah might also be off-putting to some still labouring under an excess of Body Thetans and the genetic manipulation of the Galactic Confederacy. Tell me about it.
