Wikileaks lists the following letter (below) from LRH as an introduction to his non-confidential (always intended for public release) screenplay, written in the 1970s, entitled REVOLT IN THE STARS. I read Revolt in the Stars while at Int and I remember also seeing this same letter. So to the best of my knowledge it is accurate.

But first, a non-confidential word about OT III. In this article, I am not making a comment upon the veracity of the incident LRH describes in the script. There are three solid reasons for that: (1) Scientology is not a belief system. (2) Scientology is not a belief system. (3) See point number 1.

LRH never required anyone to believe anything in Scientology. No one is required to believe that the events described in Revolt in the Stars actually happened.

It’s like pouring water out of a glass. Belief just has nothing to do with it. Scientology is the same way. Unfortunately even some Scientologists don’t know that.

However I do believe a further clarification is in order. Among anti-Scientologists there are misconceptions regarding the OT III information. They don't have any experience with these materials.

In RJ-67 LRH said the materials were rigged to kill anyone who discovered their exact truth. Some critics assume since they read the materials and didn't die, it's all bunk. Well, technically speaking, no one is going to die from reading the materials.

"Reading the materials" is not the same thing as running the materials incorrectly. In general, the populace is protected by the fact that their awareness it too low in the first place to be in any danger from these materials. But once a person increases their awareness by the only way it can be done -- which is moving up the Grade Chart and achieving the gains of each level fully and honestly in a non-suppressive environment (which rules out delivery within the Church of Miscavige), doing the Expanded Lower Grades, going Clear, etc., then doing the specific OT drills on OT III theory having to do with placing exact intentions into specific location, and most certainly doing New OT I and OT II auditing to their full End Phenomena since these are the specific case actions that enable a person to envision what must be run on OT III and without which no one can run the level. When not properly set up, people just bounce out of the level without really accomplishing anything or getting any gains.

In summary: no one at lower levels is going to die from reading the OT III materials. However I still don't advise reading the materials until you are ready.

That said, anyone can read Revolt in the Stars with impunity. By recommending it, I'm not critiquing it as a story or commenting on the quality of the writing.

I don't know why OT III was so impossible for Tommy Davis to explain to Martin Bashir on ABC's Nightline. Actually I do know: Miscavige’s people pretend that compliance to "Command Intention” is responsibility.

Anyway, when you read the following letter from LRH about Revolt in the Stars, you will understand better what the risks are when he says, “No one has really confronted the original incident and survived...” that is, he’s not talking about just reading the materials.

"The RTS (Revolt in the Stars) film is designed to make several things occur on planet earth. Firstly, it will re-create the events surrounding a 4th Dynamic engram which affected this Sector circa 75 million years ago. However, it will present the data in a way which releases charge and brings up awareness and confront.



"No one has really confronted the original incident and survived - until the research I did in 1966-1967.



"Secondly, it will contain several symbols of the time, many still existing in PT on or off planet, which will create a familiarity and positioning of these symbols for our use - the good guys wear the white hats, bad guys the black hats, etc. - as per early Hollywood symbolism.



"A wide field of PR activities will at once open up and present itself for use based on the symbols in the film and the results of surveys afterwards. We should be prepared for this. Proper positioning tech would be used in any cover business, corporation, etc., to increase alignment with the mental and spiritual vectors thus developed.



"Thirdly, the film itself is to be viable, allowing a wide range of follow-up items and literature and a thrust from the public to be developed which can be channeled toward the orgs.



"Most importantly, since the events portrayed are true, there will be a degree of as-isness of the interlocking bank structure on the planet, thus making our job a bit easier.



"Any OT project being developed or in progress is to be made aware of these points in regard to RTS.
