The new OT Phenomena are here, and they continue a trend we saw in July that this once-vaunted feature may be turning a corner!
Our regular readers know that we have been highly critical of what was once one of the most popular things Scientology published, its monthly stories about what its “OT” members were able to accomplish with their hard-won super abilities: Moving things with their minds, saving people from accidents, and encountering free thetans at the cemetery.
For years, we enjoyed reading the ghost stories Scientologists pass off as evidence that they are gaining superpowers in Scientology’s “Operating Thetan” levels, which they can only get to after years of dedication and hundreds of thousands of dollars down the drain.
In order to keep the pilgrims on the hook, Scientology’s Advance! magazine has been publishing the “OT Phenomena” column for decades, and former editor Jefferson Hawkins told us it was always the most popular feature in the publication. In the 1970s, when Jefferson was running it, the claims of super abilities were really something. We’ll never forget, for example, the OT supplicant who described leaving his body, traveling across the country in ethereal form to a hospital, and then participating in his friend’s surgery to help him pull through. Now that’s a creative use of occult prowess!
