I don't think a "drunk" photo of Cruise exists [until this one].... obviously the stress of being the poster boy of the scions and Miscaviges's continual demands for mutual frottage are taking their toll. His super powers are obviously waning.... what's that you say? ... he has super powers?
Why yes, yes he does!
Let Tony Ortega explain it to you:
Tom Cruise Can Raise the Dead! …And More Scientology Sunday Funnies
Add this to the list of amazing things actor Tom Cruise can do with his Scientology superpowers: he can revive the dead!
We’d heard about this 1972 lecture by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard — it’s one of the more notorious ones and has been referred to numerous times both before and since the Internet came along and made Scientology’s secrets more accessible — but this is the first time we’ve actually heard the lecture itself. In it, Hubbard describes how a Scientology auditor (counselor) can convince a soul — or thetan, in Scientology parlance — to return to its body after a car accident or a drowning. (If the auditor is quick enough and assertive, that is. Hubbard bemoans that in one case he couldn’t get close enough to a drowned Negro to help him in time.)
Enjoy this four-minute excerpt we found on the web and follow along with the transcript we’ve provided below.
Now, to set the scene, we can tell you that this lecture was recorded on Friday, April 7, 1972 aboard the yachtApollo somewhere on the Atlantic or Mediterranean. Several years previously, Hubbard took to sea after finding his ideas unwelcome in various countries. The nervous laughter you hear in the background are “Sea Org” members — young but incredibly dedicated Scientologists who had pledged their loyalty to Hubbard by signing billion-year contracts. Talk about a captive audience! Anyway, just a couple of things to keep in mind while you listen to the lecture and follow the transcript: A “PC” is a preclear — a person who is getting Scientology auditing in order to achieve a higher state of consciousness known as “clear.” Some PCs are able to “exteriorize,” or leave their physical bodies during this auditing process, and they exteriorize for good when the body dies. A thetan then looks for a new body to pick up, customarily at the local maternity ward. (Which explains the reference to the two-year-old who already has a favorite brand of cigars.) Finally, speaking with “Tone 40″ is to use a forceful, full-throated voice that is intended to sway minds…
…if he accidentally startles himself half to death, as having exteriorized or something… I’ve had a PC stuck on the ceiling just begging me, for crissakes, do something! I’ve had phone calls in the middle of the night from auditors and so forth: What do we do, she’s in the attic and we can’t get her out! I’m trapped tight! Five auditors sitting around, one of them had exteriorized, and they couldn’t get her back in her head and dumped her body, and there she lies, and nobody could…The funniest tale of all of that is — we’ve never had a catastrophe with it — but the funniest tale of all of that is the auditor who all of a sudden had a PC — the English slang term was “do a bunk,” which meant run away or desert — and they started calling this “do a bunk.” This auditor had a PC and the PC did a bunk. Well, when they really do a bunk, boy, they do a bunk.They’re going past Arcturus, as I’ve said before, at 90 miles an hour, or two light years a second, and really did a bunk. When they do that the whole body collapses and their arms will hang down and they look like an old rag doll that somebody has just grabbed half the stuffings out of.They really go ruhhhhlllll, that’s it. They don’t roll up on the floor in a prenatal or something like that. They just go. That’s it, you know, boom.And this auditor talked and talked because they’re still in dim communication, you see. And he talked and talked to her: ”Think of your husband, think of your children, think of…” and so on and he talked and talked to her. He couldn’t get her to come back and pick up the body at all. Until all of a sudden he happened to think, “Think of your poor auditor,” and she came back and picked up the body.I was just a couple of minutes late. State cops were in my way, but a Negro had been drowned. They were in my road to a point where I couldn’t get to the guy and tell him to pick up the body again, or he would have, don’t you see. And they were busy resuscitating him and that was the end of that. It was too late. He really had done a bunk. He finished.We’ve actually brought little kids back to life and that sort of thing — just tell them “pick up the body,” you know. Now, you just tell them with Tone 40, just say it around the vicinity, they’re still around. And back they come again.As a matter of fact, Washington, DC got very mad at a Scientologist one time. He decided he was going to do a bunk and he was going to drop the body and he did. He just had an unpleasant afternoon with IRS, and he came back and he just kicked the bucket. That was it, colder than ice and he just wouldn’t pick up the body again. And they told him and they told him and they told him and he wouldn’t. That was it. He, by the way, has shown up again calling for his favorite cigars at two years old.But anyhow, the upshot of all of this is, is this opens the door to a fabulous amount of action on your part which will sometimes look very magical, because remedy of havingness in various ways.Now the only thing that gets wrong with the thing is, what can the guy have? And, you will find that I have just given a demonstration here to the Flag medical officers which is HCOB 7 April 1972 Touch Assist, Correct Ones, which I call your attention to. Now, what’s that all about?Yes, well this is all about equalizing, and it says at the beginning that this is how you tell a medical doctor about it. On assist, when you’re speaking with medicos, you talk to them in terms of restoring calm in blood and nerve channels. Notice that is in there because that isn’t what you’re doing.You’re giving him back the havingness of his body.
Hey, suddenly that wacky Tom Cruise video makes more sense. Remember his strange reference to Scientologists being the only ones who can help at the scene of a car accident? Well, Tom, a trained auditor, knows that if he’s not too late, he can lay hands on an accident victim and say in his best Tone 40 voice, “Pick up the body! Pick up the body!” And who knows, maybe he’d be quick enough to breathe life into the recently deceased.
We also can’t help digging the bit there at the end, where Hubbard says he has to put together written instructions for how to snow a physician about what a Scientology auditor is doing when he lays hands on the recently dead. Whatever you do, don’t tell the doctor what’s really going on, that you can resurrect the dead with the power of L. Ron Hubbard’s mind-juju!
And for those of you just hearing for the first time what a Hubbard lecture was like, you now have a sense of the man’s amazing charisma. (At least, that’s what his most recent biographers keep telling us, that Hubbard was the most charming human being who ever lived. What, you don’t hear that in this actual tape of the man?Sacrilege.)

Cruise Control! Celebrities flock to greet action star Tom as he arrives at pre-BAFTA party
|
They pretended not to be interested but British reserve broke down and the best of British talent flocked to say 'Hi' to Tom Cruise.
The superstar actor made a late entrance at Charles Finch's pre-BAFTA party at Annabel's nightclub, that caused heads to turn as guests caught discreet peek.
People left their tables claiming they were going to the 'loo', but nine times out of ten it was to stare at Cruise.
Cruise Control! Celebrities flock to greet action star Tom as he arrives at pre-BAFTA party
Miss Moneypenny herself, actress Naomi Harris spotted him first as he swept by her table.
Funny-man James Corden got up to offer greetings and they must have had a lot to chat about.
Cruise told Mail Online that he regretted missing Corden's comic tour-de-force in One Man, Two Guvnors.
Flock of Seagulls: British reserve broke down and the best of British talent all jumped to say 'Hi' to the action star
Funny times: Tom said he would have loved to see James Corden in One Man, Two Guvnors
Eager: Naomie Harris and Thandie Newton made sure to drop by Tom Cruise's table
'I heard he was funny in it. I regret missing him. Maybe I could do a comedy with him someday', Cruise mused.
Thandie Newton - who co-starred with the action star in Mission Impossible 2 - paid respects as did Ruth Wilson, then Cruise chatted with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.
Once that conversation was over Amy Adams stopped to say 'Hello'.
Fan: The Jack Reacher star said he'd love to work in the future with James in a comedy
But Cruise spent the longest time joking with Andrea Riseborough his leading lady in the science-fiction thriller Oblivion which opens in April.
'The best way to see it is on IMAX', Cruise noted.
'We shot some scenes with IMAX cameras and it enhances the power of the movie', he said, adding that the last Mission Impossible film Ghost Protocol was shot in IMAX .
'It makes you jump out of your seat because you think you're there amongst the action'.
By this point the scene inside Annabel's was like rush hour at Waterloo station with onlookers creating bottlenecks either of Cruise as people stopped to speak to the actor.
Intimate: Guests included Ben Affleck, wife Jennifer Garner and Gillian Anderson at the dinner at Annabel's
Classic: Amy Adams looked elegant in her cream and black lace dress with her hair swept back into a chic up-do
He was the last to arrive at the club because he said he'd been working on his latest film, the thriller All You Need Is Kill, that is being shot in London with Emily Blunt.
It was the most relaxed people have seen of Cruise in ages.
In the past he has stopped by at parties for thirty minutes tops but on Saturday he stayed several hours because he said he was 'enjoying myself hanging out, no pressure'.
And there were a lot of people hanging out at Finch's annual bash, which he hosts with Chanel.
Silver lining: Bradley Cooper looked suave in a checked suit as he prepared for the awards in which he is nominated
Ready for bed: Tom looked a little worse for wear as he headed back to his hotel after the dinner
Finch said that it's an opportunity for BAFTA nominees to meet up with other actors , film-makers and socialites and 'just let their hair down'.
Christoph Waltz, Jeremy Renner, Joaquin Phoenix, and Sally Field were all in attendance as well as veteran British film-makers Terry Gilliam and Stephen Frears.
With a menu of lobster and avocado salad, herb crusted lamb and bitter chocolate and salted caramel ice creams were, the Silver Linings Playbook team were out in force, including producer Harvey Weinstein, Chris Tucker and the BAFTA and Oscar nominated Bradley Copper, although Jennifer Lawrence had rain-checked that evening.
Relaxed: Guests say Cruise had seemed his most laid-back in a long time
