Body thetan

Scientology-cruft, I'm not seeing any non-trivial, reliable third-party sources for this. Much of it is cited to Hubbard's own writings and tapes, which are primary sources. The "Secrecy" section mentions some third-party sources, but a careful look indicates that these sources are all about OT III in general and its surrounding secrecy, not the specific concept of "body thetans."
