""" The book argued that the brain was analogous to a computer with
two independent memory banks, the Analytical (conscious) Mind and the
Reactive (subconscious) Mind. The latter is full of "engrams"
(traumatic memories), which interfere with the operation of the
Analytical Mind and cause personality problems and ailments such as
asthma and arthritis.
During "auditing" (therapy), the "pre-clear" (patient) can "run"
(relive) and thus conquer the traumatic experiences. Once "clear," the
patient would have super powers: total recall, high IQ, perfect health,
and for all I know X-ray vision. Except for the inflated payoff, the
parallels to Freudian analysis are obvious, including the high hourly
fees you later had to pay to learn this stuff at Scientology centers.

But the main thing is: don't annoy them. If they tell their 'church'
that you are anti-scientology then there will be burnings on your front
lawn and law suits ;-)
BTW Did you hear about the Agnostic branch of the KKK ? They come and
burn a huge question mark on your front lawn.
