In this introspective and candid self-analysis video, I explore a multifaceted question posed by a viewer: "So, how did you make out?" Delving into different dimensions, I recount the story of how I literally made it out of challenging situations, sharing personal anecdotes of resilience and survival.
Beyond the physical aspect, I delve into the depths of my mental and spiritual transformation, revealing the inner struggles and triumphs that have shaped my journey. With an insightful perspective, I candidly discuss and question the genuine depth in spiritual leaders I encounter in the present day, reflecting on the qualities that truly resonate with my own "to thine own self be true" authenticity and substance.
Join me exploring the growth and self-discovery, as I offer reflections, lessons learned, and valuable insights to inspire viewers on their own paths of mental, emotional, and spiritual fulfillment. This video is an honest invitation to embrace life's challenges and strive for a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
Speaking of a deeper understanding, that's an album you should totally listen to. I was jamming it every night from 2017-2019, deep cuts. ALBUM LINK - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZqsyBiYZFQ05slS0nqP-yaxOE3pwmpIk

W.I.S. - Mass Effect 1 - Dev-T
In this short livestream, Shepard gets command of the Normandy (freewinds :P) and sets off on his epic mission to save the galaxy from SP's, only to be interrupted by a senior INT terminal (an alliance senior) to go destroy some shit on the moon.
Dev-T - Developed traffic. A particle (a person or form) sent unnecessarily to the improper terminal; a waste of time or an item which slows down the all-important production inside Scientology.

W.I.S. - Mass Effect 1 - The Citadel
What if your favorite game hero was a scientologist?
"What If Scientologist?" Broadcast answers the question taking popular games
and roleplaying as a scientologist based on the role of the hero.
Be it the everyman (public), the seeker (staff), or the chosen one (executives), and combines these aspects to give insight to the decision making process and social dynamics of the mind of a scientologist.
It's not always what you think it might be, but sometimes it's exactly what you might guess.
Join me while I don my gaming pseudonym Crow Bennett to bring the good, the bad, and the ugly of scientology out in the open in the sphere of gaming as never before.
In the first WIS I will be covering the Mass Effect Trilogy, a space opera that Hubbard himself would be proud to have written. With Biotic (OT) powers The What If Hero in Mass Effect is Commander John Shepard, Alliance Officer (Exec) and Spectre Candidate for the Entire Galaxy.
His First Mission is to track a suppressive that is 3rd partying the citadel council and bringing about the destruction of the universe, on a Human colony.
Through the epic trilogy playthrough, I will highlight key moments of this choose your own adventure style game roleplaying as I go up the org board to not just clear the planet, but the entire galaxy. Fair Game is not cancelled. Ethics presence and Tone 40 Command Intention is absolutely critical and certainty a must.
The alliance is perfectly postured in the narrative as the Sea Org, so in this case of W.I.S. we assume that viewpoint.

Self-Analysis - PTPS
The Self Analysis Videos are a review of my naked in public style "routing out" or speaking out about my experience in Scientology. I chose PTPS - The Reduction of Attention Span First because it is a commonly overwhelming subject, the terminology of Scientology.
Many viewers may watch dumbfounded by the ridiculous words used to describe a great many things, which are usually easily understood once explained. This is not to indoctrinate anyone into the language, however, nearly ALL of Hubbards concepts were stolen, so these are places to hide bits of truth, that make the abhorrent practices of changing someone's language model to reflect the views and beliefs of a "Upstat" Scientologist.
here are the links I promised years ago, and I must "Deliver what was promised"

The Blood of the Covenant - A commonly misunderstood concept
Discussion and Opinion of the meaning of an old and widely used phrase, that comes from a divinely inspired concept, that has been adapted for multiple uses in language and culture to wonderful and terrible effect.
"Blood is thicker than water" is still a common phrase today. It has lots of relevance to many life situations. Whether Family related, or adopted Family, or being Adopted into a Society or Cult.

Recorded at Marigny Studios

Edited By: Delta Gold Media
Single cut from the unreleased album "Pain and Suffering"
Lyrics:
Don't let go of that feeling
I know you lost all hope
turn your eyes from the ceiling
Look ahead out on the road, there’s still a long way to go
I know life gets you down
You’re at the end of your rope
hanging from a tiny little thread
Nowhere else to go, nowhere to call home
Sometimes it's too hard to cry
keep it all locked up inside
maybe one day let it all go
better the devil you know
you lust for blood
I can smell your fear
If you didn't want comfort
I don't know why you're here
Is your love insincere?
Don't let go of the feeling
that burns you down inside
all the demons that haunt you
all the pain in your mind
love will come to exercise
Sometimes it's too hard to cry
You’re as hard as rock inside
But a river will cut you in time
A polished stone, with a precious glow
You'll need nothing, noone, and nowhere to go
don't give up

Got Love? - In The Aftermath of the Aftermath p.2
2023 update - Is there a difference between ambition and motivation? I have an appreciation of every moment and living life to it's fullest after you've been close to death so many times, at the hands of others, and at my own attempts on my life.
Cultural comparison of Scientology, Buddhism, and Taoist concepts.
The incessant attention that celebrities or public figures contend with and those that attach themselves to those social magnets.
Helena Ulintz - was affected by scientology and no longer speaks about it. i'm not even sure if her videos are up, and for her sanity that might be the best thing.
VetTV - Trauma Culture Comedy
"I could never fall for that!" "anyone who joined scientology deserves what they got" - yes you can.
Why do I keep trying? I am motivated to help. I still have friends in Scientology.
When you are tired, rest. Don't stop.
Success and Failure are equally risky.
Successful musicians miss the small rooms, playing for the sake of the song. no pretense, no expectation.
no expectation = no disappointment
Elder wisdom instead of feeling you're throwing your gifts away "Give it to god" Tonice LaFleur
Suicide rate too high.
Sometimes things you say will not be popular.
Taking credit for someones healing is seeking a place above another. a healing debt. you cannot repay that.
