....was reading up on karl loren's active involvment in scientology. turns out karl's real name is loren c. troescher. he is a scientologist...so googled and found a database about scientologists and their documented levels. someone did some amazing web scraping to compile this database called TABS (truth about scientology)...turns out karl is kicking ass at being a scientologist. he cleared Grade IV and made it all the way to Hubbard Life Orientation course! way to go karl!
hubbard life orientation course is a crazy crazy course. by this point karl had ostensibly paid (according to 2006 Cost of Scientology numbers (this was in 1997 for karl) ) some serious dough. the first stage is the purification rundown which costs $2500 alone, then getting from grade 0 to 4 costs $61,600, another $22,400 for life rundown and others, and finally the Hubbard Life Orientatino Course is $31,500. so, according to this data from TABS, karl is in the hole $118,000 for scientology courses! good investing strategy karl!
by the way...the hubbard life orientation course is AMAZING, here is an account from an old scientology member about the course:
"This course breaks down the entire semantic and thought structure of an individual. In the processing part, in the beginning, they are made to do "clay demonstrations" which reduce them to a child-liked state. They then have to re-learn each and every small common word, after which, grammar is re-programmed into them, according to El Con's definitions. The course takes a very long time, and they use Method 9 to indoctrinate the pcs. Method 9 entails reading each and every page aloud, and stopping each time the person stumbles, to look for and clear the misunderstood wood. The course is done with a "twin", or partner. The person's entire thought process is taken away from them, and then re-built into what Hubbard thought it should be.
An exam is taken at the end of the grammar section. Anything less than 95% means that both twins have to go back and re-do the whole lot. Nothing other than total "duplication" is accepted. Then, there is the last clay table auditing process, where a person has to do certain things until they have realised that they can "get" (receive) any concept. They can therefore "duplicate".
The fact that they are now wide open to suggestions, wide open to implanting, the fact that they have lost their *entire* original thought process, and all the semantic structures that are their own have been irretrievably removed, makes them candidates for accepting" any piece of data."
