[Today’s guest post is by Pete Griffiths] My first ever Dianetics session had a bizarre twist which at the time meant nothing to me. Years later it made me go, wow! Really? Did that really happen? Am I making this up? How accurate are memories anyway?
“I was persuaded that once I realized my true potential that a single mortgage payment would be chickenfeed. I would be making money hand over fist.” Ah Pete, there is true irony in that statement on several levels.
First, the person who persuaded you probably didn’t have a mortgage payment because they were living hand to mouth with several other people in a rundown rental, not sure if they were going to be able to afford to be there next month.
Secondly, the “ruin” that hooked you in is what opened your eyes and started your journey out when you realized that no one was making money, they were all struggling.
Imagine if you had said "Yes, Xenu; it's Xenu". The scientist in me wants to put this to the test to see what would happen but in this instance..... I think I won't
Nicely said Pete. You put the initial come on and subsequent hard sell in its proper place. You and everyone else who ever took the test you always fail and signed up and paid for initial 'processing' prove the efficacy of the Hubbard come on.

Great story.I had similiar episodes with Christian evangeists,school counselors and shrinks.(Talk therapy)
That’s astonishing. Declares all round for anyone discussing Xenu. I’m gobsmacked!
