Don't Scientologists ever talk about confidential material?

Thats a curious idea, if you are unable to distinguish between real memories and implants, then what if xenu was not the implanter but rather the implant.

Though that OT3 EP sounds alot like being "between reality tunnels" and also the philosophy of one of my favorite authors Robert Anton Wilson, as he described his writing as an "attempt to break down conditioned associations - to look at the world in a new way, with many models recognized as models or maps and no one model elevated to the Truth." ... "My goal is to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone, but agnosticism about everything."

I have aired that very opinion to Tara. She was pleased. Other Scientologists with whom I discussed the idea were not pleased. Not everyone responds well to a veteran of law enforcement hiring process oral boards.

Which leads to the philosophical problem of if you are in a trap created by people who are able to control your perceptions of reality and thus of the trap itself, how do you know that your perceived solution to the trap is not part of the trap itself.

However the pragmatist says try the solution to the end and see if you get out or simply remain in the trap. The existentialist says if you don't trust your perceptions in the first place, how will you know that you are actually out when you think get out and not still within another layer of the trap.

Of course the other solution is to not try and escape the trap, to fully embrace your perceptions, real or unreal, and simply enjoy the ride. Is a trap still a trap if you never want to leave?

Maybe I should call it the sane person's guide to escaping reality.
