BASIC IDEA

A THETAN is, in a way, bound to Earth because of the existence of other forces in the system.

Probably, with a few more active THETANS, this planet will be much less calm and orderly.

Homo sapiens will probably use electronics to hunt down the thetans that are bothering them, but if homo sapiens has the techniques to free itself, a miracle may happen to prevent this.

Possibly a handful of thetans, alarmed by the concerns and efforts of homo sapiens, will try to shoot the rest of the race into overcontrolled slavery. All of this is speculation, but it's not speculation that life on this planet is going to become much more interesting.

It is doubtful that the thetans will carry out the ultimate trick: simply destroy the planet's atmosphere, which to some extent would "cleanse" everyone.

There is nothing in the books of Man that resembles what is likely to happen here on Earth.

All of this will happen, and you will allow it to happen, simply because it's all so unbelievable that no one will even try to stop it until it's too late.

So let me make this simple request of you: don't become spectacular until some of the guys get up there. You will not want to be alone, and you will need reinforcements if a war on the thetans is declared here.

The OT may think he can do it on his own if he breaks free of the body, but he will need more help and company than he supposes.

So, once again, as a final note in this chapter, let's not bother governments and put on a show to "prove" anything to homo sapiens for now.

Leave homo sapiens dormant for a while longer.

Say to anyone who wants to invalidate all this: "Your criticisms are very certain. It's just fantasy."

Heal the lame, the lame and the incompetent using whatever technique you need.

Protect theta-clearing until there are some of us."

Then gather somewhere and decide what to do with it, with its guerrillas, its madmen and its prisons.
