You may be low-balling the cost. Even 25 years ago, you could not go through a Flag service without being hit up by IAS regges, and if you refused them, your "speed of delivery" on service would suffer..
WHICH IS A BETTER INVESTMENT
FOR A MARRIED COUPLE?
Investing in THETA?
-or-
Investing in MEST?
COST: Assuming the average investment (per being) to do the Bridge up to OT VIII is approximately $625K per thetan, that gives us a total of $1.25M to invest in either becoming "TOTAL CAUSE OVER LIFE" or investing in a house to live in.
DETAILS: Let's further assume that the house purchased would be in a state with no income tax and a booming economy, clean air, abundant nature and great value per sq. foot & acreage.
SCENARIO I: Investing $1.25M and several decades to become an OT VIII.
WHAT YOU GET: You get a completion certificate, 7 seconds of applause, a lapel pin and a new tech estimate that guarantees you will handle your ruin on OT IX and OT X.SCENARIO II: Investing $1.25M and several decades to pay off your home's mortgage.
WHAT YOU GET: You get a paid for 9000 square foot mansion that keeps going up in value and a telephone you can answer without first checking the caller ID in order to screen a fanatical cult salesman who desperately needs you to take responsibility for donating to buy marble floors for the new Ideal Org's bathrooms, so that the tech will work and mankind will be saved, on this planet.
FUN FACT: That's a real listing, in Tennessee. LINK HERE
SUMMARY: There's one other difference I forgot to mention. When you buy and do your "Bridge" you are able to say: "MY SPACE FEELS BIGGER". However, if you opt for the MEST, you are able to say: "MY SPACE IS BIGGER".
