I couldn't believe that I had wasted 5 years in Scientology only to find out this was the big secret that was kept from me that I was working so hard to get to.

Definately after, well after. In my case I was in
Scientology for 5 years (that was 20 years ago), I never
got far enough along for me to get to it. In fact most
Scientologists are STILL unaware of it as this knowledge
is keep very secret by Scientology. I only found out about
this stuff a year ago on the Internet. I couldn't believe
that I had wasted 5 years in Scientology only to find out
this was the big secret that was kept from me that I was
working so hard to get to.

Before this point, you are just told that on OT
Level III you will confront the "Wall of Fire" which when
you've got through it will give you these gnarly OT
superpowers like being able to leave your body at will
(since you're a spiritual being), go to Africa in a couple
seconds and look around, direct intention beams at other
lesser people to make them do what you want, etc., etc.

The worst part of it is that up till this point
Scientology is supposed to be a "Science of Mind" which
clears out your past bad memories and other mental
miscomputations in order to become more able.

Suddenly on OT III, they completely change the
rules on you and say that your problem is all these
spirits of others that are stuck to you and your body
and that you have to take them through the Xenu incident
and a memory of the beginning of the Universe (that is
really bizarre!) in order to get rid of them.

Total cost to get to this level and get rid
of all these spirits (Body Thetans or BT's) is getting
close to $500,000 or 1 Billion years in servitude to
the Sea Organization.

They also lie to people about their views
of the "Supreme Being". Newcomers are told that
Scientology is compatible with all major religions
- you're just not allowed to mix the practice of
another belief with Scientology, but whatever you
believe about the "Supreme Being" is OK with Scientology.

Then on the advanced levels L. Ron Hubbard
tells you that God, Christ, and the Cross are false
images implanted in your mind in this Xenu incident!!
Worse, his other confidential writings make it clear
that we are all potentially God-like and we answer
to NO Supreme Being.

You are lied to and conned all the way along
till you've forked over the dough or have sacrificied
many years of your life in servitude.

SON OF XENU (XEMU)

OT I:		OT havingness (spotting drills)
OT II: Implant incidents/GPM's
OT III: You are covered with the spirits of others (Body Thetans)
OT IV - VII: NOTs - More ways of extracting BT's (and your money)
OT VIII: Check out those past lives - Are they real?
OT IX(?): We're all Gods - just some are bigger than others
