Question answered by honorarykid in Scientology

Anonymous asked this question on 9/6/2000:

If there was an organization placed near LA which was a freezone organization to deliver a way to move Clears through the upper bridge, do you think there would be a demand for this service?

honorarykid gave this response on 9/6/2000:

Sure, I think there would be some demand.

There would also be a lot of harassment from the CoS. You'd be stepping on their toes, monetarily speaking, and they wouldn't like that.

By the way, I don't think L. Ron Hubbard's "bridge" to total freedom actually goes anywhere. To my knowledge, not one single OT power has ever been objectively demonstrated. I hate to be indelicate, but I liken the benefits of the bridge to the benefits felt by a heroin addict. Both things can make you feel pretty good, up to a point. But both can also get you addicted and destroy you.

So aside from removing these people and their money and support from the notorious and destructive political grasp of the CoS, what good does getting people "UP"[1] the bridge do, really?

Why not start a place where the spiritual needs of these people can be fulfilled in more down-to-earth, less self-deluding ways?

Focus on things like fellowship, stewardship, cult-recovery, neglected formal educations, family and relationship repair (for disconnected members), marital commitment, etc. There is 50 years of SP and PTS damage to undo, covering a lot of families and a lot of relationships. In a place like this, you'd be giving the forever frustrated OT something of real value.

Of course, this is just my 2 cents worth. Take it or leave it, as you see fit.

And ironically, such a place as I have described would ALSO be harassed and targeted by the CoS.

[1] - curiously, in Scientology, one advances "UP" the bridge, not "over" the bridge or "across" the bridge
