The Observing Ego

The Observing Ego is that part of you that can stand outside of a situation and look at your own actions as other people see them. Many psychologists see this as the real difference between children and adults. A mature adult can look at their actions and wonder if they are helpful to his cause. An immature or unstable adult will become sucked into situations rather like a child having a tantrum.

The most noticeable thing about Scientologists is that they lack this ability entirely. Tommy Davis behaves essentially like a bullying and sulky child. He lacks the ability to see himself as others see him and as a result repeats his mistakes.

Even 'Slappy' who is a highly manipulative psychopath lacks this ability. He continually repeats his mistakes even when he is found out. You may remember the recent Panorama documentary 'Scientology and me' in which Scinetologists were shown to be paranoid and manipulative nutcases. His response was to turn up at John Sweeny's wedding and film the guests. He also sent a large number of Scientologists to harass Marty in the middle of a telephone interview with the BBC- the whole thing was recorded the other end!

These are the actions of a spiteful child and not an adult human being. Unfortunately every Scientologist seems to share this to some degree.

There is no doubt that the lack of an observing ego makes a person easier to manipulate. This may be why Scientologists become so lost within their own delusional worlds of unlimited OT powers. A person with a healthy observing ego would probably see themselves as others see him and snap out of it right there.
