it’s hard to imagine a more useful object lesson

Quotes from an article in the New Yorker about director Paul Haggis’s relationship with Scientology:

“Scientology works 100 percent of the time when it is properly applied to a person who sincerely desires to improve his life.”

“The first thing I noticed that I did, that others didn’t, is the Contact,” Alissa told me, referring to a procedure the church calls Contact Assist. “If you hurt yourself, the first thing I and other Scientology kids do is go quiet.”

According to documents obtained by WikiLeaks, the activist group run by Julian Assange, the final exercise is: “Go out to a park, train station or other busy area. Practice placing an intention into individuals until you can successfully and easily place an intention into or on a Being and/or a body.”

The incentive to believe was high.
