Oh sure, there are plenty of Scientologists who are superhuman. At least, if you believe in these fantastic success stories, published for example by "Advance!" magazine. Check this out (from Advance! (UK) No. 135, (c) 1998): "OT Phenomena - Experiences from the other side of the OT Level "My business success depends on me communicating with literally hundreds of people every month on the phone. My income kept increasing and increasing until I was making around L6,500 per month and in order to pull this amount of money in, my telephone bill typically averaged about L385 per month. "This all became quite predictable. I could literally watch the monthly phone bill and know how much money I would be pulling in the following month. "Then one month I was paying my bills and realised that my phone bill had reduced to half of what it normally was. Alarmed, I looked at the amount of invoices I had sent out to see how much money I would be bringing in that month. Sure enough, I would be getting L6,500 that month. "So I started looking to see what had happened. Was I talking less to people? Was I setting myself up for a future loss the following month? Was I avoiding people? "My normal operating basis was that at the beginning of the week, I would make up a list of all the people I wanted to speak to that week and then sit down and systematically call them. "But in the last month, since being on my OT levels, there had been a major change. I still sat down and made up the list of people I wanted to talk to that week. And I still talked to them, but instead of me calling THEM, they were calling ME! In other words, all I had to do was think that I wanted to talk to a particular person, and they called! "So - instead of L385 per month, my phone bill now runs less than one-half of that. That's OT - definitely causative! - J. J."
