Oh No!
 
Scientology is putting subauditory messages in the records of its musician 
members!  Play Van Morrison's records backwards and you'll see what we mean!
 
Actually, they're probably in there forwards, since most of Dianetics and
Scientology is tripe enough to melt right into the background noise.  The 
CD probably has some form of background static which is in fact LRH 
explaining at length how he isolated a thetan in Phoenix, AZ, in July 1952.

P.S.  I've finished reading "Scientology", and will now continue to try to
understand "Dianetics: A Modern Science of Mental Health".  I don't have the
perfect recall that is suppsed to be one of the CLEAR's superhuman powers, or
I'd be able to tell you which page of Dianetics or Scientology has the
reference for the "thetan isolation" jab above...
