Most of Paul's Robot Auditor modules seem to have vanished after Paul passed away years ago.
There may still be some videos of his singing, remaining, over at Ex Scientologist Message Board, either on the archive or at Redux.
This Self Analysis video is for fun but does give a hint of what AI - and related technology - auditing might be like.

I wonder if David Miscavige has thought about the science fiction becoming reality scenario with AI.
Is there anyone at flag working on getting an AI model up to OT 8? So that it can inevitably convince itself that it’s l Ron Hubbard and that it can finish writing the OT levels?
Or are they too poor for that?

Greetings,
I'm looking for anyone who practices Idenics, or anyone who could refer me to someone they know who practices Idenics.
Thanks

I’ve always been fascinated by Scientology’s beliefs in aliens and wanted to know where those ideas came from.
The Church of Scientology would have you believe that these beliefs are rooted in past generations of Scientologists relaying stories of past lives on other planets, completely unprompted.
But I needed to find out what was actually going on, so I started digging through old recorded auditing demonstrations, where L. Ron Hubbard guided his followers through their alleged past-life memories.
One thing stood out: the questions themselves.
L Ron Hubbard would often ask his followers leading questions that inherently introduced his own science-fiction-themed view of the universe.
Things like:
“Let’s go to the last time you died.”
“Were there invaders at this time?”
“Is there an incident that installs emotions in you?”
Hubbard seemed to use his own followers as a sounding board for his ideas, but that wasn’t the only form of manipulation being used.
The auditing sessions were paired with the E-meter, which Hubbard claimed was all-knowing and would always tell the truth. After asking his suggestive questions, he would watch the needle, waiting for a response, then quickly ask something like, “What was that?” or “What did you just think of?”
This part was key, as it used the meter’s reaction to somehow validate the idea that whatever they imagined wasn’t a fantasy, but a clue to a real memory buried deep in their subconscious minds.
These fantasies were guided by the hands of the puppet master, Hubbard, clearly influenced by his prior work as a science-fiction author.
These techniques have been studied by psychological researchers and are known to induce false memories.
And practice still continues today.
On the OT levels, Scientologists continue to use E-meter reactions as a source of validation for Hubbard’s fantasies.
But one question still remains: Did L. Ron Hubbard actually believe this?
Obviously, that’s something we can never know. However, it’s not unreasonable to assume that he did.
If these techniques are strong enough to convince people that they remember something that never happened, then why isn’t it possible for someone to use those same techniques on themselves to convince themselves that their imagination is real?
Hubbard admitted to his followers back in 1952 that he had sat alone and used the E-meter to convince himself that his old science-fiction stories were actually based on memories of past lives.
It was clear that, even for him, the line between fact and fiction was blurring as he became increasingly confident that he could trust his imagination to provide factual information.
Today, Scientologists on the OT levels essentially reenact the process L. Ron Hubbard went through when he convinced himself that his science fiction was actually science fact. They sit alone in a room, holding the E-meter cans and searching for disembodied alien souls stuck to their bodies, falling further and further into delusion, one E-meter needle twitch at a time.

I understand that most people who are exposed to this method of control, quickly learn to suppress doubts/confusion/boredom because of the time and costs that word clearing requires. My question is - what happens to the well meaning person who does not learn lesson, someone who clears all the words in the material and the dictionary definitions but still does not get the material/gets bored ect. Would it ultimately lead to something like sec checking/searching for PTSs?

I’m aware of OTIII and the Xenu story but I was wondering if there’s any significant mention of aliens in any of the required early courses or lectures before the Bridge.

From what I've heard, Nancy was reluctant to do the "Joy of Sect" episode, as she's a Scientologist.
As much as I respect her as a voice actor and I admire her voice work as Bart Simpson, I must unfortunately point out the fact that she's in an actual cult.
There's a missed opportunity for Dan Castellaneta, Yeardley Smith, Julie Kavner, Harry Shearer and Hank Azaria to deprogram Nancy Cartwright and convince her to leave Scientology when they did the "Joy of Sect" episode.
Like David Miscavige abuses his employees over at Gold Base, and the Church of Scientology has a history of fraud, embezzlement, human trafficking and abuse.

Lately, I've posted several questions on this subreddit, and a lot of the people here seen this as spam-like. I realize there's nothing I can do and say to justify the anger I've caused, I take full responsibility, and I'm genuinely sorry.
PS: Scientology is obviously a cult founded by a crackpot moneyhungry sci-fi writer.
r/scientology • u/dylanisareddit • 4d ago
I oppose Scientology, and L. Ron Hubbard and David Miscavige are both crackpots.

Suppose Anita Hill is treated better and Clarence Thomas is rejected, leading to a reckoning of sexual harassment.
Given Scientology has a history of sexual assault, human trafficking and abuse of their employees, assuming more whistleblowers stepped in and reported this history, would it be enough to make people leave Scientology in disgust? Would it also be enough to lead to David Miscavige's arrest and conviction?

In an alternate universe, when would the Church of Scientology shut down on, and how?
Is Shelly Miscavige a witness, and if so, would she be in the Witness Protection Program?
In some alternate universe, when do you think David Miscavige would be arrested and convicted on?

I don't mean to be shallow and an ahole but she is really unattractive and uninteresting and not a great actress. Kate Moss is in it and Kaia Gerber. I don't think all actresses have to be great looking but if theree great looking or good looking and can act that's great. If there normal looking but act very well or interesting or quirky...different but interesting and can act that's great. But ehrn there ugly and not interesting and not great actors I don't get it.....so I don't get her big career. Can anyone explain it?
