First sentence: I was never indifferent, or uninformed. Scientology, I had once written, was a Reality of it own, using techniques which draw on various principles: "Confession" similar to that developed by Frank Nathan Danial Buchman, father of the Moral Re-Armament movement; Émile Coué's self-improvement teachings ("Every day and in every way, I am becoming better and better"); with elements of sensitivity training and encounter-sessions, those now-popular seventy-two-hour group encounters where exhaustion finally leaves you with shredded nerve ends ready to absorb anything.
