Scientologists Ready for 'Super Power'
Scientology is about to unveil a previously secret spiritual training program called Super Power that promises to heighten participants’ powers of perception. The bizarre program is being prepared for a rollout in a new building under construction in Clearwater, Fla. Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard taught that people have 57 "perceptics" that include not only the five senses, but also an ability to discern relative sizes, blood circulation, balance, compass direction, temperature, gravity and an "awareness of importance, unimportance,” the St. Petersburg Times reports. Super Power uses machines, apparatus and specially designed rooms to exercise these so-called perceptics. Former Scientology members told the Times that the machines include an antigravity simulator and a gyroscope-like device that spins a person around while blindfolded to improve perception of compass direction. A video screen that moves forward and backward while flashing images is used to improve a person’s ability to identify subliminal messages, they said.
Story Continues Below Hubbard promised that Super Power would improve perceptions and "put the person into a new realm of ability." For years, details of Super Power training have been kept secret even from church members, and they haven’t been revealed until a member paid to take the course. Church spokesman Ben Shaw would not say how much the program will cost, but upper levels of Scientology training can run tens of thousands of dollars, according to the Times. Shaw said 300 staff members are being trained to deliver Super Power, which will be ready to go when the new building is completed, probably in 2007. Scientology’s 57 "perceptics” include "endocrine states,” "awareness of awareness,” "cellular and bacterial position,” "motion of self,” "time track motion” and "awareness of not knowing.”
