In The Church Of The Poison Mind

In the late 1940s, pulp writer L. Ron Hubbard declared:

"Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion"

Reader's Digest reprint, May 1980, p.1

You wanna' climb the escalator of life, friends? Start at the bottom (scroll down, both literally and metaphorically... but mostly literally), get out your checkbook, and cross that bridge!

While you're at it, mix some metaphors! All the cool kids are doing it!

*Operating Thetan

Never mind the ancillary materials, the audits don't come cheap, but they do come fast and furious. You wanna' reach "Clear?" That'll cost you at least $128,560.00. Of course, you want more than that though, don't you? You think you have what it takes to reach "Operating Thetan VIII?" That'll cost you $277,010.00.

But hey: having lunch at Earthlink's cafeteria with Tom Cruise and Kirstie Alley? Priceless.
