Here some references of Ingo Swann and Hal Puthoff about Scientology on Wikipedia :

Puthoff took an interest in the Church of Scientology in the late 1960s and reached what was then the top OT VII level by 1971.[3] Puthoff wrote up his "wins" for a Scientology publication, claiming to have achieved "remote viewing" abilities

Ingo Swann was interviewed in "Advance!" magazine, published by the Church of Scientology, as Scientology "Clear #2331, Full OT VII and Class VI auditor", on at least three occasions between 1973 and 1978. In "Advance!" issue 21 (Oct/Nov 1973, UK edition), he was asked by the magazine: "How did these [psychic] abilities develop with relationship to your auditing on the [Scientology] OT Levels?" to which he answered "They are solely the result of auditing. Not particularly even the OT Levels. I had extremely good gains from the lower grades. And some had developed certainly by the time [Scientology] Power Processing took place. But steady good control over them, the control I have now -- which is not perfect by the way -- occurred after the completion of OT III Expanded, and is even better than ever now that I have finished OT VII. So they are solely the result of auditing.

John I read your post and the link. Also Scientology beliefs are new to me. Is the “Old Invader”the same as the Orions/Reptilians/Old Empire as CB & team describe? I assume they are also the ones you “report into” and get “shot down” by? Curious if this is all the same as what CB describes with regard to being dumped here and imprisoned without choice and uncaring about the level or your enlightenment or consciousness? There are many threads that say the intent is not to simply incarcerate you for being an “untouchable” but to use you for a variety of malicious intent - DNA manipulation farm for soulless Greys to capture yours, LOOSH creator to feed evil beings, andrenochrome providers by tortured children. The horrors go on. If this is true and CB says we are trapped by technology we can not escape, this is truly depressing and offers little hope to ascend “past” via enlightenment or intent. Many still adhere to New Age beliefs of unconditional love and forgiveness will get us a pass but CB simply says BS.

I am pretty much sure that the “Old Invader” is the same as the Orions/Reptilians/Old Empire.
