Geir Isene (born 1966[1]) is a Norwegian writer and critic of the Church of Scientology.
Isene left the Church of Scientology in 2009 after having been a member for 25 years.[2] His turning point came in 2006, shortly after having reached the uppermost spiritual level within the church, Operating Thetan (OT) 8, when he met the leader, David Miscavige.[3]
He released the autobiography, 1984, My journey into the deepest secrets of Scientology - and getting out again (Norwegian: Nittenåttifire, Min vei inn i Scientologiens innerste hemmeligheter - og ut igjen) on September 18, 2013, where he reveals details about the secret OT levels.[4] Isene is the only person having reached OT 8 who has released a book detailing his journey into and out of Scientology.[citation needed]
Isene is known as an open-source advocate,[5] a public speaker, coach and blogger.[6]
