This is your brain on Scientology

This is so bizarre, so nuts. One Scn faction going over the top defensively paranoid conspiracy theory at another, from Tony Ortega's Blog:

Overheard in the FreeZone

“Justin Craig has initiated from the start a black PR campaign against Captain Bill Robertson’s tech and as such is expected to be an OSA operative at the service of David Miscavige and should be investigated fully.”

Can't wait to hear the results of the "investigation".

"Evaluate" for what? Is this about anything other than trying to raise doubt that this is an actual quote from a Scientologist?

I googled "justin craig scientology" and some references came up. It looks like reddit has quite a bit of talk about scn.

Sneakster - You made a couple of comments on the reddit article below including correcting someone who mentioned the common MU of "my thetan". lol

I guess he's still in rehab according to this. When he first came out as Ron 2.0 I remember giving him credit for having a good imagination and I think he even mocked up a whole new Scn Org Board!

An egregore is an esoteric and occult concept for a non-physical "group mind" or autonomous thought-form. It arises naturally or intentionally when a collective group of people pool their shared thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and energy toward a common focus. Once formed, this entity is believed to take on a life of its own, separate from the individual members, and can influence the behavior of the group in return. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Origin and History

• • Etymology: The word comes from the French égrégore, derived from the Ancient Greek word egrḗgoros, meaning "wakeful" or "watcher" (referring to angelic entities in the ancient Book of Enoch). [1, 2]
  • Literary Roots: The term was used by French writer Victor Hugo in 1859 (La Légende des siècles) and later popularized by 19th-century occultists like Éliphas Lévi to describe spiritual collective forces. [1]

Common Examples

• • Institutions & Nations: Corporations, political parties, religious bodies, and sovereign countries ("America" or "Microsoft") are frequently cited as modern examples that persist and act independently even as individual members change. [1, 2, 3]
  • Cultural Movements: Viral internet memes, fandoms, and mob mentalities can form temporary or powerful digital egregores driven by collective attention. [1, 2]

A bootstrap literally means a loop of fabric or leather at the top of a boot to help pull it on. Figuratively, it means achieving success through your own efforts and resources without external help, a concept that applies across several different fields. [1]

Core Meanings by Field

• • Business: Starting and growing a company using only personal savings and early revenue rather than outside investors or bank loans.
  • Computing: The process where a small, simple piece of code loads larger, more complex systems—which is where the computer term "booting" comes from.
  • Web Development: Refers to Bootstrap, a popular open-source toolkit and framework used for fast, responsive website design.
  • Statistics: A resampling method used to estimate accuracy and measure properties of an estimator by using the sample data itself. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Nothing annoys me quite so much as misrepresentation of what I have written or spoken. If I had meant, I don't think a Scientologist wrote that, that is what I would have written - which I did not.

Evaluation as to who wrote it, exactly what faction were they with, did they have any real world power or authority in their faction to either order or conduct such an investigation, etc. In particular, are they a serious Freezone person or just another nutjob or grifter like Justin Craig, himself.

Tony Ortega posts those Overheard in the FreeZone tidbits as propaganda to portray all Freezoners as nutjobs. Since he does not travel in those circles himself, somebody with that PR agenda is feeding them to him. Said someone is falsely representing themselves as member of the FreeZone in whatever forums they are spying on in order to gain access.
