At what point does this happen?

So we, on the outside, know the Co$ Is ao ey-grubbing scam.

But when you buy into the Co$ as a new/young member, you believe the line they're telling you with the e-meters and the classes etc, as you move up the OT levels.

But they say you make it up to OT7 or whatever, and now you're on the other side of the e-meter, you're Miscavige's right-hand-man, is there a point when you get brought into the "other side of the fold" where you're brought into the real game with making the money, having the power, and delegating the BS even though you know it was BS? Does that line happen in the Co$? I find it hard to believe that get that high up that you're running the show on one of those ships where people "cross the bridge" and you DON'T know that it's all a pile of crap.

Money-grubbing, rather.

And Co$ is Church of $cientology.

There are two sides of the bridge: "Processing" leads up to clear and then on to the OT levels. The other side, "Training" is as an auditor. The highest auditor level is Class XII. (Google Scientology bridge to see the chart.)

One doesn't necessarily lead to the other. A person can focus on one or the other, or both. So an OTVII may not have much training as an auditor.

Now as to your question...whether you reap some of the fruits (live well, eat well, etc, without being a wealthy parishioner) has NOTHING to do with where you are on the bridge. It's whether you are a crony of Miscavige. I don't think he has any friends. Maybe a favored female gets special treatment. Maybe someone who carries out his dirty work gets favored treatment. But I think that's about it. As we have seen, even the most senior Sea Org can get thrown in the hole for YEARS.

Edited to add: I find it somewhat creepy that they call it "Processing".
