'Scientology' Articles
I stand neither in agreement nor opposition to the professed principles of Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard is the founder, and he did extensive research into world cultures, beliefs, religious experience in general, and he noticed that there is a common thread in all these efforts, all these creeds and bodies of practice. He was by no means a fool though his work in the field of spirituality was more of an effort to glean insight. I didn’t find his thinking on spiritual matters especially novel.
“You may have been taught that the mind (the spirit, the brain) is a very difficult thing to know about. This is the first principle of Scientology: It is possible to know about the mind, the spirit and life.” L. Ron Hubbard (American Science-fiction Writer, Novelist and Founder of Scientology; 1911-1986)
“To say that I have found the answer to all riddles of the soul would be inaccurate and presumptuous. [But] in the knowledge I have developed there must lie the answers to that riddle, to that enigma, to that problem – the human soul – for under my hands and others, was seen the best in man rehabilitated. I discovered that a human being is not his body and demonstrated that through Scientology an individual can attain certainty of his identity apart from that of the body. We cannot deal in the realm of the human soul and ignore the fact.” L. Ron Hubbard (American Science-fiction Writer, Novelist and Founder of Scientology; 1911-1986)
What is Scientology?
Scientology came about as much good science fiction does. L.

I have read his written works regarding his beliefs, and he was by no means a fool. Though his work in the field of spirituality was more of an effort to glean insight, I didn’t find his thinking on spiritual matters especially novel. Regression is his thing? Actually revere is,… Seek More
Second Hand Insight
Scientologists are selling the second hand insight, and require their parishioners to sign many legally binding forms before they can receive services. Their insights aren’t bogus, and in fact I encourage people myself to rephrase any insight they understand from another source. If it’s yours, it’s yours. Even in Christianity the Bible says that the word of God is written upon the human heart. It shows you understand if you can use your own words, and not just recite it from a book? Exactly. Scientology purports to have a social and moral agenda, and they believe that their insights can… Seek More
No Crazier
In respect to the Evangelicals that build fortified shelters and food storage, in the barren bad land in the western United States, the Scientologists also believe in an environmental doomsday. This is the same global event that the Mayans predicted would occur in 2012. Unlike the Evangelicals, the Scientologist doomsday plan is to use the massive Navy of hundreds of ships to escape the mainland during the social disturbance they believe will occur when the dustbowl occurs again and food becomes scarce. Yes, this is more in common with religion than not. They use a fear driven concept to keep… Seek More
