In a similar vein, I realised some years after leaving the LC that the phrase, "He who loses his soul-life will gain it" implies that one initially had a soul-life to lose. But in the LC, soul-lives were strongly discouraged. One instead got a ministry-issued persona. Members were never allowed to find "the real you", but were continually kept off-balance through trainings, conferences, and various "flows" from ministry HQ.

You never got a journey. You were an extension of someone else's journey.
