New video evidence that Scientology is still taking over the world!
While we’ve been focused lately on a court case in Tampa, Scientology soldiers on elsewhere, still pursuing founder L. Ron Hubbard’s dream of salvaging this planet from you doubters.
And one of the most dramatic moments in Ron’s journey was his frightening 1967 experience when he risked life and limb to crash through what he called the “Wall of Fire” to discover some of this universe’s most shocking secrets.
Namely, that 75 million years ago a galactic overlord named Xenu had committed a genocide on this planet, which was then known as Teegeeack, and the poor disembodied souls left over from that massacre, known as body thetans, are still around today, infesting each and every one of us by the thousands.
Just learning this information is so dangerous, Ron said, it’s booby-trapped data that would give you pneumonia and kill you if you weren’t properly prepared for it.
But once you’ve given the Church of Scientology a couple of hundred thousand dollars and spent years going up the “Bridge to Total Freedom,” you are finally ready to go through the Wall of Fire yourself on what is called OT 3, Operating Thetan Level Three.
Can you imagine the impact on your very being? To learn that you are not only yourself, but infested with space cooties? What an awesome responsibility, then, to deliver your impressions to your fellow space cadets at a graduation ceremony, as this young woman from Mexico did recently at Ron’s one-time home, Saint Hill Manor, the Scientology UK headquarters in East Grinstead, England.
It’s one of the best OT 3 success stories we’ve ever seen, and after viewing it, we think you will agree with us that Scientology will soon clear this planet in no time. And thank you to our friend Alex Barnes-Ross for sharing this crucial data with us.
Hola! Well, I’m from Mexico, and I finished OT 3!
The first day I started OT 3, it blew my mind. I finally had the truth about this universe, and I felt complete and calm. I found more game in life. For me, it was like a science fiction movie.
I had a mission. The mission was to cross the Wall of Fire. I started my adventure and the journey is fascinating. I discovered many new things about myself and others. And what I thought was me was not really me. I discovered myself, and on this road I also found my worst enemy — the one who didn’t allow me to have my self-determinism. And, it was me. I said, me? But I am my own best friend. Yes, but I was also my own worst enemy. And recovering from that allowed me to recover my complete self-determinism.
It has been a very spiritual change. I understood the reasons for my fears, somatics, feelings, pains, dramatizations, and attitudes. I’m no longer afraid to make a decision, and I’m not afraid to make mistakes, either. It’s part of the game. My perceptions increased by five hundred percent.
The first time I perceived something was going to happen and it did, I disturbed myself. And now, it’s become a really fun game. And when I thought I had achieved everything, that back pain that bothered me so much, the one that dictated what kind of shoes I wore, what position I slept in, what kind of exercise I did, how I walked, and how I sat, one I lived with for almost 20 years, one day it stopped hurting. So I thought, well, this must be one of those good days when it doesn’t hurt. Then, a week passed, and I realized that the pain was completely gone. No more pain.
What an adventure it’s been. I will now continue on my next steps, all the way to the top. I want to thank the love of my life for supporting me on this journey. Thank you to the entire Saint Hill team, especially the Solo team. Thanks to RTC and COB for keeping the Tech pure. And thanks to LRH, who thought of millions of people before himself and made the path easy for us so we could cross the Wall of Fire and make it. My admiration for you is endless. I will continue to do everything I can to help the beings of Earth to be free. To LRH!

"For me, it was like a science fiction movie." <-- Ding ding ding!
I’ve done farts with more substance than what this woman is saying. How do you quantify that your “perception” increased exactly 500%? They love to throw out these nonsense statistics but none of it holds up to even the most basic of logical scrutiny. You can say whatever you want when the minds of the crowd you’re talking to have been taught to not bother taking the next logical step of critical thinking. They accept a number as truth simply because of who is saying it. That’s just sad.
I do believe these people getting through OTIII are coached on what to say after. This woman says that to her, it was like a science fiction movie. This feels like she’s ultra-soft-footedly leaning into and trying to normalize the Xenu story without outright saying it. I’ve seen other articles here in the past where it felt like new OTIII’s are saying at least one line in there that seem to hint at this too. The slightest, tiniest nod in a line somewhere in there that feels like if they were truly trying to hide the whole Xenu part, they wouldn’t have allowed to be in there. This is probably the most overt I’ve seen with the mention of it being like “a science fiction movie”.
I wonder if we’ll see a trend of these OTIII statements moving towards being more revealing and on the nose about what OTIII is.
The people in this thing are gullible fools, but they’re also not dumb. People talk, word spreads, the South Park episode blasted this information to the moon. Huge amounts, if not all of their OT materials have been leaked online for everyone to see. The Xenu story is the one thing they’re mostly known for these days even though Mr Ortega always points out that there’s far more interesting stuff in there. They can’t pretend it isn’t real forever when everyone kinda knows it is and they’re putting people through it at great financial cost.
If I were the next person attesting to OTIII, I’d lean into it so hard.
“Passing OTIII emptied my bank account, but filled my brain with so much new. New information, new perspective, I even saw the most basic stuff like the Alphabet as if it were new. From A to Z, new.”
