Product Description
Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison Of Belief - The HBO Special Winner of three 2015 Emmy® Awards, including Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special, Outstanding Directing for Nonfiction Programming and Outstanding Writing for Nonfiction Programming. The highly-anticipated and critically-acclaimed documentary "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison Of Belief" is a look inside the controversial religion from Academy Award®-winner Alex Gibney. The film profiles eight former members of the Church of Scientology, exploring the psychological impact of blind faith, how the church attracts new followers and keeps hold of its A-list celebrity devotees. Following the Peabody Award-winning documentary "Mea Maxima Culpa," his investigation into the Catholic Church, Gibney dives fully into one of the most controversial and secretive religions in the world in "Going Clear," exploring what members of Scientology are willing to do in the name of religion. With exclusive interviews and never-before-seen footage featuring Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and John Travolta, the film touches on a wide range of aspects of the church from its origin, to an intimate portrait of the Church’s founder L. Ron Hubbard, to its recruiting practices, to present day practices by church officials.

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2015
I was stuck in Scientology, somewhat knowing it was going to be a long term commitment, and most disappointing to me, in the end, is that the beliefs of Scientology fall so flat and in the end are so ludicrously obvious to most people, but not me who like so many stuck in Scientology, we wanted there to be truth in the biggest Scientology goal, which is "OT'.
OT is Operating Thetan. Thetan in the soul. And Operating Thetan basically means becoming a sort of soul astronaut.
Each human being IS a soul, and does not have a soul, per L. Ron Hubbard, in Scientology.
The goal of Scientology is to regain one's pure soul abilities like being able to fly out of one's body, like an astronaut launching out of a space capsule.
Scientology is supposed to provide people with these abilites, if you follow the step by step progrm that Scientology lays out, you are supposed to become an Operating Thetan.
There are 8 secret "Operating Thetan" levels, for soul astronaut training in Scientology.
They sadly, do not result in anyone being able to fly out of their skulls like an astronaut flies out of a space capsule, though.
One gets some hallucinations, at best, which convince one that the out of the body experience is '"real", but the number of people who get the full clean out of the body experience in Scientology is dismally just as coincidental as the number of people who have the out of the body hallucination in the world already, without any of the Scientology expensive "levels".
So, I was, after 27 years, basically a wised up person, I had to admit no Scientologists were becoming the Operating Thetan soul astronauts.
So to me, simply Scientology turns out to be a long drawn out con job, since it's like soul snipe hunting. No one gets the soul flying abilities, it's a long drawn out con.
Scientologists are no more remarkable, and most of unremarkable less than normal or noteworthy human beings, today.
Scientology is not changing the world by any of Scientology past lives trauma crackpot therapy, nor with Scientology's exorcism crank therapy that Scientologists do their crank exorcism therapy on a whole bunch of dead space alien souls that Scientologists are trained to discover these space alien souls are infesting their human bodies today.
So Scientologists are being trained that they are infested with dead space alien souls, and then use L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology special exorcism procedures, called Operating Thetan Level 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (5 exorcism Operating Thetan levels is a whole LOT of exorcism).
And Scientology cannot even simply define what they do, and they still refuse to define their practices, and the outside world has to rely on ex members willing to detail the practices, for the public to even know that Scientology engages is so much exorcism of dead space alien souls.
The details, even if you didn't understand the details, everyone knows that Scientologists are NOT some world changing new group of people, but a group of sadly overexcited and frankly kind of deluded happy but nonsense gobblygood speaking people.
But no soul astronauts able to fly out of their bodies and have their out of the body experiences at will and nor are any of the Scientologists doing ONE thing that is supernatural, but they tell themselves that they are.
It's a group of self convinced believers that they WILL become these superpowered souls, and regain their true powerful pure soul powers.
They don't, so that's really what is obvious to anyone who hasn't even heard of Scientology, because if there were any supersoulpowered Scientologists, the world would see the evidence, and there is no evidence.
The Scientologists are a small group of hopefuls, and then this movie shows members who wised up.
Some still believe.
But the saddest truth is, there are no "OTs"
No soul astronauts, that's the sad bigger story, it's the whole backdrop to this unfortunate con job fake religion.
Average public who don't even know Scientology instinctively know this.
The movie is a downer, for an ex Scientologist, it's a sobering down.
Truthful, and when people ask me today about whether the movie and the book is true, I say it is worse.
It is worse ,and they couldn't show how worse it is.
Enough to say it's really a sad prison of belief.
It is.
