I guess it might possibly be Scientology's foremost confidential data,
apart from where the money goes, and who controls it?
MP.
PS Of course, something already posted to the public record and the
internet is no longer "confidential".
Wow.'New OT8 E.P "Now I know who I am not and I am interested in
finding out who I am" "
Sounds like the upper 'bridge to total freedom' is actually continuous
vortex into eternal nonexistence.
Nirvana!

That EP has been known for thousands of years, as Nirvana!
However Hubbard made big bucks from it :-)

Let me translate this for you from the mind of the person who wrote it:
I am the charlatan Lafayette Ronald Hubbard and I haven't the slightest
idea what the hell is going on in this world, so maybe this will fool
you into continuing to chase the carrot I sucked out of Aleister
Crowley's evil ass.
So what does this mean in the world of Scientology? It means the new
OT-8 is just beginning the Enemy Formula: Find out who you really are.
See the Registrar first.
What a bunch of fraudulent shit OT-8 turned out to be.

This EP is more profound than you seem to get.
After years and hundreds of thousands of dollars the 'cog' is
that 'I know who I am not'
The reality there is that the person who the new OTVIII is *not*
is himself.
Scientology is a long, drawn out process of, first eliminating
pieces of yourself piecemeal *then* discovering that the remnant
of 'personality' that remains *is not you*
All that remains is to find out who you 'really' are.
But; it won't be you.
I've never been a member, but I try to follow...
Don't you learn who you are not in OTIII?
There, you learn you aren't a human, but an alien who has been implanted
by Xenu and others, infested with BTs, and so on.
The rest of the levels, I hear, basically pop off BT from you. But do
you learn more about what you are not?

I think the main thing they learn on OT8 is they have a lot less money
than when they bought the con of old LRon.
My son went on the Free (hohoho) Winds and when he came back to
LA and deplaned he went immediately to the hospital. He has been on
dialysis ever since. The OT8 didn't do the damage but using the LRH
help when he had cancer is what caused it all. He is not the first and
prolly not the last.( I am just grateful that friends got him to the
hospital
where he needed 8 tranfusions. )
OT8 didn't improve his communication skills either. At least not
between
us. Very sad I think for both of us as we truly enjoyed each other
prior
to the invasion of the destructive and dangerous cult.

ZretsulCuneX,
Help me out on this. Which definition of nirvana below fits with the OT
VIII EP: "Now I know who I am not and I am interested in finding out
who I am" ?
I suspect it's supposed to be more along the lines of the Will Durant
one shown in the list below, where the OT is so deprived of his own
self willed desire, that he sees he never needed to desire in a
self-determined way to begin with? Like, he now has interest in finding
out who he is, minus the dictates of desire influencing his interest?
Or is extinction a better fitting one, lol!
I always thought of nirvana as just a peaceful state of no action, but
since I am too tired right now to review every definition below, I am
hoping you can clue me into which best fit's what you understand of
nirvana.
Definitions of nirvana on the Web:
“extinction” – the soteriological goal of Buddhism; the final
cessation of rebirth into suffering existence.
www.trimondi.de/SDLE/Glossary.htm
Because nibbana is used to denote not only the Buddhist goal, but also
the extinguishing of a fire, it is usually rendered as "extinguishing"
or, even worse, "extinction." However, a study of ancient Indian views
of the workings of fire (see The Mind Like Fire Unbound) reveals that
people of the Buddha's time felt that a fire, in going out, did not go
out of existence but was simply freed from its agitation, entrapment,
and attachment to its fuel. ...
pratyeka.org/a2i/canon/sutta/khuddaka/dhp/glossary.html
in Hindu theory, a condition of happiness arising out of the absolute

Thanks
Ironically, after OT8 I started researching books to show me more "who
I am" as Scientology's "Bridge" was behind me. Best one was "Unveiled
Mysteries" by Godfre Ray King. I got into huge trouble for applying the
EP of OT8.
LOL
(but was not funny at the time).
MP
I agree
>After years and hundreds of thousands of dollars the 'cog' is that 'I know who I am not'
Yup, it's like 'Knowing how NOT to Know'
>The reality there is that the person who the new OTVIII is *not* is himself.
Yup. He's a clam, loll!
Not being oneself and knowing it is the EP that one needs to get out of
Scientology.
Very good post, Zinj!
They must take special glee in the brainwashing of parishioners. Is
finding out, "Now I know who I am not and I am interested in finding
out who I am," worth more than the cost of a good home? Of course that
does not include the extra donations to the IAS, Able, Criminon,
Narconon, WISE, SMI, and ASI. The church is a money bleeding machine.
This EP, being so utterly secret, is what keeps all the Scientologists
on the treadmill.
Would they do what they do, pay what they have to pay and go through
all they have to go through if they knew that this was all there was to
the"NEW O.T.8" !!!??
mp
So you have paid 400,000 USD to find yourself in the
Scientology-defined Condition of Enemy. Time to "find out who you
really are" and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars more.
BUMP to go past Caswell spam.
M
It truly is a cult to force hundreds of thousands of dollars for that.
You get an OT 8 cognition, "Now I know who I am not and I am interested
in finding out who I am." They get lots of cash for David Miscavige's
Italian suits, shoes, private properties and offshore bank accounts.
They indoctrinate you that the material things are not so important.
But see what happens if you ask for a "free" religious service. You
become an unethical non-producer. You are less than scum.
You want to save money for your kid's education? Nope. it's not as
important as the church and your next service.
You want to save money for Christmas gifts? Nope, you need to do your
next service.
You want to save money for retirement? Nope, it's only one life in
millions. You can die poor and indigent.
You want to save money for your anniversary? Nope, you should get your
husband his next step on the bridge.
You want to save money to start a business? Nope, if you do enough
services, your business will magically materialize from your
postulates. <Cough> <Cough>
It is line after line of lying crap they feed you in the church of
Scientology.

I think you miss the point. The reward is not in the "end point" but
the process where you get all that de-licious attention (auditing).
For a some people, it's as rewarding as mainlining cocaine and heroin.
And scientology isn't the only one in the game, this is why people pay
ridiculous amounts of money for psychoanalysis which has been shown to
be ineffective.

Is this EP worth $300,000.00 and 20 years of loyal persistence??
May I add to this?
Sure that is how it goes and IF the service you are paying for is a REAL
Scientology service to begin with.
Not one made up by the registrar to cater to the lack of knoweldge of the
clientele.
In either case the reg and David Miscavige both lose.

I love this thread, Michael, especially this last post of yours! lol!!
The 'New OT 8 EP of "Now I know who I am not and I am interested in
finding out who I am" is just to funny to be believed! I agree about
the Life Repair comments but the OT 8 EP would be more along the lines
of what the Life Repair pc might say to indicate they have achieved the
EP, as referenced below:
'EP of Life Repair: "When the pc no longer feels overwhelmed by life
problems, feels certain he has had gains and auditing works for him and
he is F/N VGI he should be ready for Major Actions and the Grades and
you have him attest to Life Repair." '

registrar to get whatever money you possibly can out of him towards the
rest of his bridge. lol!

I dunno if it's the same today, but in the early 90's there was a
supposedly 'really powerful' clay-table processing section at the
beginning of the Key to Life course. There were several commands which
direct the person to make various clay representations of 'a problem',
using Hubbbard's oversimple anatomy of problems. So you've got to do
clay representations of 'force-counter-force',
'postulate-counter-postulate', 'intention-counter-intention', etc.
The EP of this section of the Key to Life is that the person says
something like 'Wow, I just realised all this time that I've not been
being me'. The gist of this EP is, yet again, that old Hubbard standard
from the earliest days of dianetics: getting the preclear back in
valence.
