hey the Profit needs to get back out there again! when I think back about how freaked out COS about this movie compared to the stuff coming out today OMG!!!
I always think it's so funny when the OTs post their banal wins or talk of communicating 'telepathically' with their spouse. Hate to tell them this but things like that happen every day to plain ol' folks who never took a lick of auditing or paid a dime to Hubbard. It's not really mystical just a phenomenon humans experience. My cat got out one night. We live on a busy street and I was scared for him. Eventually while I slept I dreamed of him under a bush in the backyard and in the morning I went back there and there he was. Those 'magical powers' didn't cost me a cent .
I had been recently to the apartment of a client. The family had a little dog that was sleeping under the Christmas tree. While I was talking to my client, I could see from the 1st floor window my client's mother approaching the gate that surrounds the apartment complex. The moment she turned the key inside the lock at the gate door, the dog suddenly sprang up and nervously went to the door of the living room, waiting for the mother to come in, although she hadn't even entered the apartment complex yet. The dog couldn't have heard anything nor could it have seen or physically sensed anything. That little performance was far more impressive than anything that I ever read about Scientologists allegedly using their "OT powers". And unlike Scientologists the little fellow didn't have to brag about his capablities nor did he feel obliged to express his gratitude to L. Ron Hubbard.
He did shatter some suppression hose down a squirrel buster, which is probably as good as it gets with respect to OT Powerz...
I like that. My wayward cat can also tell when my kid is going to arrive several minutes before he comes through the door. Perhaps he hears those size 13's clumping down the pavement from blocks away. Then again, animals are known to do that and since it is a relatively common phenomena there is sure as hell no 'magic' involved. OT's can only wish they were as tuned in as our animal companions are. I don't care how many walls in the super powers building you sniff, humans are no match in certain wonderful sensory gifts. PS: The fact they are there at the door to greet us is probably one of the reasons we seek their company.
Cats too. They could hear when my roommate was getting off the elevator at the other end of the building. It's food-dish refilling time!
Coming to think of it, I too could hear someone turning the key in the main gate to the apartment complex I lived in back when I did my first years at the uni. I do have opposable thumbs though, but the back of my hands are somewhat hairy.
