Excerpt:
After Impact magazine, our next favorite Scientology magazine is Advance!, which tries to sell upper-level services to Scientologists and keep them going up the ever-more-expensive “Bridge to Total Freedom.”
Historically, the best part of that come-on was a regular feature known as “OT Phenomena,” a collection of stories from Scientologists recounting the superpowers (they call them “OT abilities”) that they attained while unlocking the Operating Thetan auditing levels.
In past years these were some pretty wild miracles, often involving cars and driving, for some reason. But we miss those old days when you would read stories of Scientologists using their tractor beams to prevent auto collisions. Or even wilder stories of leaving their bodies and visiting friends, etc.
The OT Phenomena column has gotten a lot duller in recent years, and this latest set continue that trend. Are upper level Scientologists just not becoming the super heroes of the past? Or are they more self-conscious of making supernatural claims when the church itself is in such bad shape? What’s your theory?
