Somewhere along the banks of the Nile, a crocodile speaks
by Phil Spickler
29 Jan 2000


Hello, Earthlings!
      I often dream of eating your bodies -- a forbidden fruit, but such a
delight.  It has been whispered among my own kind that some of you don't like
your bodies and shun them and long to be rid of them.  Keep in mind that if
you are serious, I will always be happy to oblige you in succeeding in such
intention.

        In the earliest spring of Scientology, it had been said that all
roads lead to the following process:

CONCEIVE A STATIC.

     Does anyone reading this have memory of such a process?  Has anyone ever
run it on another or been run on it?  Does it take a static to conceive a
static?  Once conceived, does a static, like a child, then grow and develop
into a fully matured static?  We here at the Soul Shop sincerely hope that
these thoughts wil stimulate a brisk and pleasant discussion among interested
parties.

        'Til then, I shall continue to doze somewhere along the banks of the
Nile and think about all your bodies.
        As ever,
         Phil the Crocodilian
