It is a pseudo-science from beginning to end. However, the independent field is helpful for some people. It is very reassuring to some Scientologists that they can leave the cult, they can be declared Suppressive, and will still be able to obtain Scientology services if they want them, auditing or OT levels. The independent field is therefore a kind of halfway house for recovering cultists. If people are to some extent still devoting more of their limited resources of time and money to something that is not scientifically valid, that is still a lot better than continuing to support a predatory cult. However, I personally have no further interest in Scientology services of any kind. I no longer aspire to improve my supposed "case state".Davidnoreply@blogger.com
