Yes, the chief legal officer of the CoS testified as such in court.

It can be argued from Hubbard's writings that he did not expect everyone
to believe everything. This could to considered similar to parts of the
Bible that some Christians consider to by myths, not historical truth.
And, as in Christianity, there are some Scientologists who insist that
everything Hubbard said was True. So if you like the Xenu story is as
'True' as the story of Noah and his Ark.

Not quite, it is rather irrelevant.

Yes. Body thetans are the spirits of these dead space aliens and
infest your and my bodies, said Hubbard. The scam is mainly founded to
let people pay to get rid of them. (Imagine: Hubbard fantasized you
are full of space alien spirits and you have to pay his company to get
rid of them!)
This whole space opera is part of level 3 of Operating Thetan.
Operating Thetans (OT's) are supposed to have special abilities, yet
no OT ever was able to prove having such abilities.
Below the level of OT3 people are supposed to not know anything about
Xenu. So public CULT members have no idea.

Yes, it's OT3.

Price of the level itself, over $7,000 for members of the IAS:
http://www.xenu.net/archive/prices.html

Although, in order to be 'ready' to learn about Xenu, one has to go
through all the prior courses/levels (walk backward all the prerequisites):
http://www.whatisscientology.org/html/Part02/Chp06/pg0181_1.html

So you have to add up all the cost of the prerequisites to the cost of
OT3 itself to get a good idea how the teachings about Xenu are
important. Any hint of questioning, dissent on your way up the chart
will set you back (at your cost.) Throw in some arbitraries (i.e. "As
determined by [Case Supervisor]").

On the chart, OT3 (which includes the teachings about Xenu), the ability
gained on the level is described as "Return to self-determinism /
freedom from overwhelm".

How is it irrelevant? I would say charging hundreds of thousands of
dollars to acquire access to some stupid space opera crap is exceedingly
relevant.

Xenu committed planticide (mega mass murder) that occurred here on
earth, releasing the souls of those he murdered, those souls are
trapped on earth, mainly those souls are in amnesia trance.

Those souls infest human bodies, all newly born human bodies are
infested with these amnesia tranced souls.

Hubbard true does not spell out much of the Xenu history, typical of
Hubbard's past lives science fictionesque stories, he superficially
discusses space opera past lives no deeper than Hubbard's style of
pulp fiction character/situation description.

Hubbard's style is superficial, and pulp fictionesque, and a long term
study of all of Hubbard's writings (his pulp classics are being
republished in paperback form, so people wanting to see how entrenched
Hubbard's superficiality is, need browse some of these Hubbard classic
paperback versions of his pulp stories can now easily do once these
paperbacks come out and get reduced to 1-3 dollar prices on Amazon).
