Ever since reading Lawrence Wright’s Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief, which I highly recommend, I think about Scientology roughly, ahhh, just about all of the time. Hahah. In my head it’s like 20% Breaking Bad, 70% Scientology, and 10% various anxieties. But there is this part in that book where Paul Haggis talks about reaching OT VII (which was the highest Operating Thetan level at the time he reached it) and being thought to — at that level — have the ability to control people’s thoughts and actions, as well as energy, space, time, etc. (A v. good deal, and it only costs like 2 billion dollars to get there.) The book mentions how OTs at this level are brought to busy areas and asked to focus on people until they get them to scratch their nose, or cough, or whatever. Haggis ended up not being able to do it, or even really believe that it could be done, which led to doubt about Scientology and his place in Scientology, etc. But what I’m over here thinking is, maybe Paul Haggis didn’t know what the fuck he was talking about, and maybe I’m a OT VII? Because AARON PAUL PET PUPPIES ON TV LAST NIGHT!!!!

Ugh, it was all another ploy for him to shout “BITCH”? Maybe I’m not an OT VII after all. It’s so hard to realize you’re not as far up the ladder as you thought, but it does seem like I’m almost there. You have to admit that I came very close! While we’re here, here is his interview:

THX AARON, PLEASE STOP SAYING BITCH ALL THE TIME! YOU’RE RUINING YOURSELF FOR ME, I LOVE YOU!
