Since some of the materials which describe the $cientology cult could be
considered to be copywritten materials, I have censored myself and The
Skeptic Tank by deleting any and all possible text files which describes
the cult's hidden mythologies.  I have elected to quote just a bit of the
questionable text according to the "Fair Use" legal findings afforded to
those who report.  -  Fredric L. Rice, The Skeptic Tank, 09/Sep/95

                             OT V   
                        Cause Over MEST   
                   Gain Freedom from Fixated   
                    Introversion into MEST   
   
      For eons, man has speculated and guessed about the nature of the   
physical universe. There have been many opinions and much discussion.   
Even the modern physicist, with his many names and labels, is still in the   
dark when it comes to how it got here and why. Before Scientology, the   
exact truth about the MEST universe was lost, and the way out of the trap   
unknown. Lies and misinformation had taken the place of the truth.

      The tremendous power that this universe seems to have over thetans   
resulting in entrapment, degradation and death, is traced to its source. As   
you exteriorize from the physical universe at Section V, you discover   
exactly what MEST is, and become free of its laws.   
   
      At OT V, a being is refamiliarized as a thetan exterior with the   
physical universe. OT drills are done to remarkably increase a being's   
ability to communicate with his environment. He is now able to do so,   
totally free of the mind and body, and free from fixated introversion into   
MEST.
