Here we are once again. Today I will be discussing probably one of the most dangerous mainstream cults on the planet, Scientology. Many of you may be familiar with some of it’s members – John Travolta, Kirstie Alley or Tom Cruise to name a few, as well as a host of other celebrities. But what is Scientology? In short it is a dangerous cult that uses intimidation, brainwashing and torture to keep its adherents in line and it is also damn expensive. As my motto goes, “what are accusations without proof?” So let’s start at the beginning.
In 1953 Science Fiction writer, L. Ron Hubbard, along with his wife and a few disciples opened the first Church of Scientology in the city of Camden, New Jersey. This “religion” promotes a set of beliefs centered around the mind, body, and spirit that collectively are known as Scientology. This belief system also revolves around the self-help regimen prescribed in Hubbard’s unfortunately successful book, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, published in 1950. Dianetics is known within the Scientology world as “Book 1″. However, all of the books, materials and lectures of Hubbard are considered scriptures to the cult. The adherents to Scientology are expected to listen to and read all of the scriptures, but to do so is very expensive because you are expected to purchase from the cult all of the materials. Current estimates put the total global adherents to the Scientology Doctrine at 8,000,000 with more than 6,000 churches and Missions existing in 159 countries in 66 languages.
At the core of the initial teachings it is discovered that each person is a “Thetan” or Soul which is considered to be immortal. This Thetan supposedly lives through past lives and long past the death of its current human incarnation. Unlocking the true power and ability as an immortal Thetan requires engaging in a type of spiritual counseling session called “auditing” which the cult offers in most cases for as little as $150 dollars an hour. According to the doctrine of Scientology this auditing process removes any and all negative influences and psychic barriers. Auditing seems to be nothing more than an information gathering session where the “Minister” or “Minister in training” asks you a specifically worded set of questions about your life. You being a good adherent to your new cult answer all of the questions truthfully which it is said they keep in your file in case you try to leave the cult or discredit it in any way. You and anyone else who speaks out against this cult fall under what they used to call the “fair game policy” in which the Church actively harasses, discredits and destroys the live(s) of the decenter.
But what are these negative influences and psychic barriers that these info gathering sessions are meant to dispel? The answer to this question is something that the unwitting victim of Scientology does not learn for thousands of dollars and hours upon hours of brainwashing, but I shall tell you for free.
Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu. Xenu was in charge of all the planets in this part of the galaxy including our own planet Earth, except in those days it was called Teegeeack. Xenu, the alien ruler, had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were overpopulated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all of the overpopulation, so he had a plan.
Xenu took over complete control with the help of renegades to defeat the good people and the Loyal Officers. Then with the help of psychiatrists he called in billions of people for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of alcohol and glycol mixed to paralyze them. Then they were put into space planes that looked exactly like DC8s (except they had rocket motors instead of propellers).
These DC8 space planes then flew to planet Earth where the paralyzed people were stacked around the bases of volcanoes in the hundreds of billions. When they had finished stacking them, H-bombs were lowered into the volcanoes. Xenu then detonated all the H-bombs at the same time and everyone was killed.
The story doesn’t end there though. Since everyone has a soul, (called a “Thetan” in this story) he then had to trick souls into not coming back again. So while the hundreds of billions of souls were being blown around by the nuclear winds, he had special electronic traps that caught all the souls in electronic beams, (the electronic beams were sticky like fly-paper). After he had captured all these souls he had them packed into boxes and taken to a few huge cinemas. There all the souls had to spend days watching special 3D motion pictures that told them what life should be like. In these films they were shown false pictures and told they were God, The Devil and Christ. In the story this process is called “implanting”.
When the films ended and the souls left the cinemas, these souls started to stick together because since they had all seen the same films they thought they were the same people. They clustered in groups of a few thousand. Now because there were only a few living bodies left they stayed as clusters and inhabited these bodies.
As for Xenu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. Xenu is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and he is still alive today. But through the auditing process a person can, for a price remove these body Thetans from themselves and reach a state which the Church calls “clear”. The cost of reaching a proper state of clear can greatly exceed $100.000 USD. Remember this “religion” was started by a science fiction writer.
But, if they are just another, all be it extremely well funded, spaceship religion, who cares? they aren’t hurting anyone. I wouldn’t count on that, considering the founder. You remember the bad science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard himself is quoted as saying: “Anyone who attacks Scientology is a criminal all you have to do is dig up their crimes to silence them and if you cant dig up any crimes, manufacture them” he also said “never defend: always attack” And this from the people that claim to be the most ethical people on the planet.
