    The GE is not the body.  The GE is like a body thetan that 
    travels with the evolution of cells through generations of 
    the species.  Actually Phatso dropped the idea of GE's and
    never mentioned them, except in passing, again after the
    early 60s.  But he had said the body *has* a GE with racial 
    memory back to the clams.   Was never cancelled so it's still
    an official scieno-dropping.
