For you doubters, here’s proof of Scientology miracles that demonstrate the power of ‘OT’!

 
It’s that time again, campers! And we like how much we introduced this idea last time, here it is again…

As much as Scientology wants the public to think of it as a totally not weird self-help group that offers things like improved communication and business acumen, the reality is much stranger and, frankly, a lot more interesting. What Scientology really offers is a yearslong pursuit of esoteric practices that lead to superhuman powers, granted as a church member reaches the “Operating Thetan” auditing levels.

These upper-level secrets are not cheap. And to entice members to keep forking over the big bucks, for decades Advance! magazine has been printing ghost stories, er, totally true and factual accounts of Scientologists discovering their new supernatural skills obtained while they are going through their OTs.

The magazine calls them “OT Phenomena,” and we can never get enough of them.

Our thanks to the reader who sent us the most recent issue, which contained these accounts of Scientology miracles…

IN HARMONY
I was in a cafè with a friend when a sparrow entered from the window and landed on a shelf over our table. He flew away, bumped into a wall, then turned back to flutter around the room. A waitress tried to make him fly out of the open window, but each time, the bird flew away from her, frightened. I decided to intervene. I told the sparrow that everything was fine and I would help him. It stopped and I picked him up. He simply sat in my hands. I leaned out of the window and opened my hands. He didn’t fly away. I wondered how the bird’s parents could persuade him to fly. Just at that moment, an adult sparrow landed beside us as if to indicate the way. “Look who’s there,” I said to the little bird. The adult sparrow and the sparrow flew away together into the wind. — E.H.

A MAGIC RING
I have a family ring with a one-carat diamond. I wear it every day, and for me it has a big sentimental value. One morning I was in the building where I work, which has many floors, and I had already been on four different floors, up and down the stairs, inside and out of the elevator, to meet up with various people in their offices. Two colleagues saw me in the corridor and they told me that they urgently needed to talk to me, so we entered an empty office near by. They were discussing a work problem when I touched the ring. I only felt the gold setting … and air. “My diamond is missing!” I said, shocked, interrupting the person who was speaking. All three (all women) stopped short. None spoke for 10 seconds. We remained calm. Time was still. The diamond was in the ring when I had slipped it on that morning but now it was not there. I saw myself retracing the thousand places I had already visited: my car to go to work, the road and then the whole building. I told myself that I would follow my footsteps, sweep the floors, anything necessary to find my precious gem. I refused to lose it. “I’ll find that diamond!” was my intention. Then I looked to my left, and on top of a filing cabinet I saw the diamond! My attention had been attracted directly there. We all smiled. The power of an OT woman wins once again. — A.W.

BY A HAIR
One day our dog Buddy decided to dig a way out of the yard and go to the park. My wife ​​and I were out, but a guy called to say that he had found Buddy. Later, my wife Ruth went to the young man’s house, she met him and his wife and brought our rebellious dog home. Months later, I decided to prepare a nice dinner and take it to the young couple as a thank you. Unfortunately, we had lost their phone number and we didn’t know their address. So, we put the leash on Buddy and we went for a walk in the park to see if Ruth could recognize the house. We were going to throw in the towel when a couple walking towards the park shouted out: “Buddy!” Ten seconds more and we would have missed them. Instead, we were able to thank them adequately. — J.C.

THE WHISPERING MAN
My favourite OT phenomenon is what I do when a motorist in front of me has his indicators on and does not know. Instead of being irritated, I become cause. With the lightest possible touch, I whisper at the driver’s ear: “Do I have my indicators on?” The driver makes that thought his own and looks. Within 30 seconds the indicators are off. If a minute goes by without any change, I do it again but this time only in concepts, not in words, in case I hadn’t used the right language. It is a game in which every driver wins. — S.H.-P.

TURN ON THE OT GPS
In times when there was no GPS nor Google maps, I worked as a motorcycle courier in Sydney. Given that my bike had a big engine, my manager thought to give me the suburban area up to a hundred kilometers from the city. I jumped at the possibility of leaving the Sydney traffic and driving long distances. One time I had some urgent documents to deliver to a place 90 kilometers south of Sydney. I knew the general area but not the actual place nor the street. I didn’t want to use time or money to stop and buy a map so I decided to head south and just go by guessing to find the address. After 50 minutes of travel, I felt I was near the delivery place and almost there. I climbed a hill and below me I saw a small suburb nestled in a valley. I knew I was almost there. I went down the hill, turned a corner, following my OT perceptions, made two more turns and … that was it! I was there! — M.F.

THE FIRST PROOF
I had just finished Super Power at Flag and I was on a flight back home and was getting ready for a movie and a snack when just at that moment the pilot came on the loudspeaker. He ordered all the passengers to return to their seats and fasten their seat belts because we were about to run into some strong turbulence. I decided to use my OT abilities and deal with it. I closed my eyes, put out a set of markers in front of the plane that kept it away from the turbulence. Ten minutes later, the flight was still without any bumps. No strong turbulence ever came, and the pilots probably wondered where the devil had all the bumps gone. — R.R.

“Little boy is a kick. My little girl requires interest to be kind of generated by the vicinity. You know? It’s got to be heavy matter and that sort of thing. She’d get interested. Yes, she’s very alert and very interested. But this little boy, her brother, is practically an Operating Thetan. And he is a fabulous little character — not just because he’s my son, of course — but he’s a fabulous character in that he’s always exteriorized. You walk past his room — his door is closed, you see — in the middle of the night and he’ll do a flip-flop on his bunk, bang! and he’ll be right up there scratching on the door saying, ‘Hey, say hello,’ you know, that sort of thing. You open the door and say, ‘Hello, Quentin,’ and he’s real happy.” — L. Ron Hubbard, October 6, 1954

Overheard in the FreeZone

“I know that jewish dna tends to produce more 1.1s, but that doesnt mean we are going to single out a whole group of people as being 1.1 and that we should be racist or anything, the free zone is open to all and sadly the atlantean/aryan race is full of bad bodies too, i think its better than other bodies but sadly here on earth all bodies are bad for the thetan and we need to empower the thetan and ignore the corrupted bodies.”
