The following (possibly incomplete) reproduction of a posting to alt.religion.scientology by David C Smith concerns the specific sequence of steps outlined in NOTs 34 for handling physical conditions. ================================================================ On 9 Apr 1996, David C Smith wrote: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Greetings, Apparently the Church of Scientology may be practicing medical treatment (without a license) with their upper level New Era Dianetics for Operating Thetan materials. I'm not aware of in what states in the US that the CoS sells these services although California (Los Angeles) and Florida (Clearwater) would be a good guess. If anyone knows where the CoS sells the NED for OTs services, please post a follow-up message. In Scientology's "HCO BULLETIN OF 14 NOVEMBER 1978, NED for OTs Series 34" titled _THE SEQUENCE FOR HANDLING A PHYSICAL CONDITION_ one cures an illness by auditing (using a lie detector type of device called an e-meter and answering questions) out his Body Thetans (little evil spirits which infest the body and must be excorcised out) and clusters (a bunch of Body Thetans stuck together). The following is the sequence in which the auditing must be done in order to cure the illness (physical condition) according to NED for OTs Series 34, _THE SEQUENCE FOR HANDLING A PHYSICAL CONDITION_, which was recently posted to alt.religion.scientology: 1) The item 2) The body part 3) Illness (of the body part) 4) Cures for illness 5) Protest of cures for the illness 6) The body part (again) 7) The item (again) 8) The period of illness on it (Cluster-making incident) Because the process does not seem to represent "spiritual healing", but is obviously representing a process of "physical healing", does anyone know about the legality of the Church of Scientology selling such services? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMWpcTV8NLo2vey9NAQGNPAP+PeN8ooPnwPPlnhgeuUz9nIKGBEgX17XT tsBN6OxIe1vfIcF8ponKPbIsFKhVtKwjfrpfc9grdcCGWZrdyCGW/VvlfvT8kZHc wEczE7l9KfKw5lrhCxVVzlZleI7hP1r17djdclhqHKPcPdul1tNN6O0aSiU5Q7g2 Nzr3vJ5TbOI= =Ddlp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- | David C.
