OT Abilities March 18, 2011, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher

A very interesting discussion has broken out at Leaving Scientology. It was prompted by Jeff Hawkins' provocative post OT Abilities, http://leavingscientology.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/ot-abilities/ . Steve "Thoughtful" Hall has weighed in on the subject too, http://www.scientology-cult.com/flying-teapots-and-parlor-tricks.html

It is a great topic for discussion, particularly in light of the fact that Miscavige's church, unlike LRH's, has effectively censored the subject of discussion of OT abilities. Compare current church publications to the ones Jeff recounts editing under LRH's watch in church publications of the 70's.

I don't approach the subject quite like Jeff does. I think he – having not experienced or acknowledged or claimed any OT abilities – approaches it "glass half empty." Having experienced, acknowledged or claimed otherwise, I approach it "glass half full."
