Isn't that 'thousand mile stare' often attributed to scientologists? Did this happen after his conversion?

A "thousand-yard stare" would be devoid of life and emotion. What josh2600 is describing seems to be the opposite of that, a stare full of life, questions and answers.

The 'thousand yard stare' comes from soldiers who have fought on the battlefield. It's a blank stare as the person's mind is elsewhere.
