Honest Abe,

     I truely am sorry you fell for a cult implementation of spiritual
awakening.

     Where ever there is truth, there are charlatans claiming to have
truth.

     There are also honest people trying to walk the path, but
claiming to have accomplished more than they have.

     As for OT powers, they are weapons of war.

     If there are past lives, and if there were OT powers, maybe
those powers are why we can no longer remember anything.

     Various rundowns indicate that forgetfulness IS an OT power.

     Running whole track OT glare fights might open up some interesting 
stuff for you.  None of it may be true, but you might gain some insight 
into why having those abilities now might not be a good thing, as much as 
we would dearly love to use them on the assholes that surround us.

     It is not those who might reject OT powers that are the problem, (even 
AFTER a demonstration!) it is those that would accept them and want to 
enslave the owner to their own ends, or eradicate the owner completely.

     Being able to move the marble with your mind doesn't mean you can 
defend yourself OR YOU NON OT LOVED ONES against a determined army of wogs 
out to enslave, imprision or destroy you.

     OT powers come as you dare, and have the right motivations for them,
and remember OT motivations are coheretical to human motivations.

     An OT is a game CREATOR, not a game player.

     Yes there are hints of ESP, but really if it caught on, and was 
dependable, missing the witholds of an entire planet is not good for a 
person.

     When I was in the org I was ALWAYS worried if the OT's knew what I was 
thinking.  I quickly found out they didn't, to my grand relief.

     The e-meter knew more about me than the OT's did.

     There are many OT powers that are not weapons of war, but weapons of 
peace, but peace in one's own heart can not be shown to another.

     So enjoy your dream of life, and when you wake up at death,
you will have the answers the Scner's may have scammed money out of you
for.

     And in any case, the Scientology grade chart is very clear, OT
powers are not mentioned.

     I would work on 'knows he or she won't get worse', or 'free from
overwhelm'.

     Even a simple exteriorization would put you in the weapons of war 
league if you started to prove it with the 3x5 card on the back of your 
head with a 10 digit number on it.

     There are lots of exterioriation types however that just make
you feel better without burdening you with illegal sight.

     Homer
