"AAAHHHHhhh yes, so begins Scientology."Yes indeed, my friend. Yes indeed.

Parsons died in a lab explosion. Too bad Hubbard wasn't with him at the time.

Hubbard had a failed business deal with Jack Parsons, and ran off with Jack's boat and babe. Jack Parsons who would be responsible for the famous JPL (Jet Propulsion Labrotories) turned out to also be an occultist who was a disciple of Crowley's.thieving the babe and boat kinda goes with Hubbard's love the navy and getting funky wit the ladies. He could have also got influence indirectly from crowley.. hmm.

You have to understand that Ellison grew up idolizing Hubbard and derived a great deal of inspiration from his work, and his dedication to it - long before Hubbard went batshit crazy. He's trying desperately to hold onto that hero, and blot out what that hero ultimately became.

AAAHHHHhhh yes, so begins Scientology.But no matter how many times it's shown and/or proven that L Ron Hubbard basically made up Scientology, the people who follow it refuse to accept the truth. Obviously the higher ups are just money hungry and crazy but the lower people are fucking sheep (sheeple).

WARNING LRH was a bad bad writter. Battlefeild earth was the literary equivilant of Troll 2.

CHANOLOGYPOJECT..... I just clicked on your channel and it's all messed up like half of the page is missing or failed to download ?

Ironically, I might try out some of Hubbard's pulp fiction because of this.But ONLY his pulp fiction.

hubbard was influenced by wilhelm reich? i guess that makes sense...

..bah, it ended like that, I want more :\

It's just one addiction for another, try finding harmony with out conviction. You might not know what you are missing. Don't limit youself to a single illusion and paradigm, transcend and change, constantly.

There is a fundamental difference here between religion and the church(?) of scientology. I agree with you 7tilsleep, im sure that using study tech can indeed help people, without a doubt it can increase self awareness. However the practices of the church(?) is a different matter. I am sure that you could have found another avenue of self evaluation that would have cost you far less + been far more beneficial. Now that you are in scientology you seem to believe it is the be all + end all.

Why does enlightenment cost money? Why are CoS's employees not being paid minimum wage? Why does the Office of Special Affair harass, defame, sue, and attack critics of the CoS when Scientology is supposed to be pro-free speech? Why does the CoS receive religious favoritism from the IRS, in direct violation of the establishment clause? Why doesn't CoS openly admit their beliefs in Incident II aka the Xenu story? Why is there a Disconnection Policy?These are the questions we ask, you should too

Well, there are a few reasons. One is the placebo effect. It makes you feel good because you want it to make you feel good, it's a self fulfilling prophecy. Another is the community of Scientology, that, like other organized religions, makes people feel good because they feel like they belong somewhere.Honestly, if it works for you, that's great. What the protestors and critics want to expose are the abuses of the organization of the Church.

Regression Therapy and Hypnosis, he researched psychotherapy techniques 'at the time' he wrote dianetics. He applied them badly in part BUT also it is WAY out of date and practiced by people who want to wage war on the profession their techniques were stolen from..

howcome there aren't more interviews of Harlan on here?

You know, I've felt like shit plenty of times in my life before, and I'm sure everyone else has at some point or another. If Dianetics is bullshit, then why the hell don't I FEEL like bullshit because of it? It's made my life a bazillion times better than it ever was, or ever will be. I know this from experience, being a person who understands what feeling like shit is all about. I'm sure someone can relate, here. Anyone?
