Anyway one wish's to slice it, Hubbard thought by doing Dianetics auditing one could go "clear" and then later on thru Scientology auditing one could become a OT and return from death with full knowledge and recall of past living, with full recall and amazing abilities as he told us in his lectures and books.
Turns out nobody has really gone "clear" nor "OT". Nor has anybody returned from death using dianetics or scientology.
The questions to ask, is it a science of the mind (Dianetics), is it a religion (Scientology), is it a applied religious philosophy? (Scientology)
Or is it rhetoric?
In my mind, since having done it, and seen others who have, and have died, it's a rhetoric hoax, more or less.
