A few weeks ago, a video of Tom Cruise speaking to Scientologists at a Scientology event was circulating around the internet. It was from a celebration that occurred four years ago. It was a pirated video. It was edited down from a three hour film, not necessarily to try and make Tom or Scientology look good! You can see the real video at any Church of Scientology and get the true context.
In one part that I recall, Tom was saying that when we pass a car accident, we are the only ones who can handle it. I would like to shed light on what the "it" was that he was referring to. It was not the accident itself, as everyone knows that paramedics are necessary in that type of situation. The "it" was something else...Tom was referring to something called the Reactive Mind. Read all about it here.
What a silly thing to try to spread around and make people think there's something bad about! Man, people are so silly, sometimes. :-) It's like spreading around a video of Mother Teresa saying why she thinks her religion is great and using it to attack her religion. :-) I suppose you could edit *anything* down to that point, if you wanted! :-)
