Did he get to the part about Smurfette's identity as the terrible mother goddess?

> About 10 years ago, after being introduced to the sci-fi writer L. Ron Hubbard's sect by ex-wife Mimi Rogers, Cruise had achieved the Operating Thetan III level of instruction (in which true believers are said to learn the story of the cosmic ruler Xenu).

> The stress of learning - or believing? - that Xenu stacked his alien enemies in volcanoes, and then blew them up with H-bombs, was starting to wear on Cruise, according to one Scientology veteran who trained with Cruise.

> He was "pretty screwed up," the source tells Kim Masters in *Radar* magazine. "He just got that pasty skin and that foolish look.

> "He just wanted Scientology to be away from him. He wanted to do no more auditing \[the church's mind-cleansing program\], just nothing with any of that stuff, just go back to Hollywood."

> Apparently worried that he was ready to bolt their Celebrity Center, his instructors are said to have backed off.
