Hubbard was a habitual user of drugs, under the influence of which most of the Scientology catechism had been written. In that light, I thought, books like The History of Man made more sense. And he had a habit of using affirmations which he repeated every day. One of which was: “All men shall be my slaves! All women shall succumb to my charms! All mankind shall grovel at my feet and not know why!”
On the one hand are the “Hedonists”, who live inside geodesic domes playing video games and lack any concept beyond immediate gratification.
The Clearing Course was a bizarre course containing lists of objects that I had to “spot” in my “space.” Some of these objects were:
- Hollow triangles going away and coming in.
- Hollow circles going away and coming in.
- Hollow squares going away and coming in.
- Hollow ellipses going away and coming in.
- Hollow cubes going away and coming in.
- Hollow prisms going away and coming in.
- Hollow cylinders going away and coming in.
- [And so on with a number of other shapes.]
The imaginary domain and the Collective cannot be the same thing. This is something that has always confused me, because if Nephilim and Febronia are not rejecting (and they aren’t, because they are not Gnosis) then why do they appear from the imaginary domain as ghosts?
I belong to a writers’ group which recently perused the opening 10,000 words of a novella I’ve written called ‘Invent-10n’. It’s a near-future story that features a rather feisty twenty-year-old singer with a penchant for jive talk called Jenni-Fur. I thought I’d rendered her as a tough, take-no-prisoners sort of rebel but it seemed that some of her dialogue offended the two female members of the group.
Gus’ life was a tragedy, but to feel sympathy was wrong, according to Hubbard, because sympathy was an emotion very low on the Tone Scale (Hubbard’s chart of emotions, arranged in a hierarchy, from Serenity of Beingness (+40.0) to Total Failure (-40.0)).
“It’s just old space opera,” one staff member joked as we watched an episode. “They don’t know it, but they’re really just running their own track (time track).” What he meant was that the events on the program were actually real events that had happened long ago. The Star Trek writers were just “remembering” events in their own distant past. Events which were common to us all. To a Scientologist, this program had a special relevance. To us, this program was our history.
Researcher Jon Atack has expressed concern that, in the wrong hands, Scientology ethics can be wielded arbitrarily and absurdly, such as in the 1960s when British Saint Hill Scientologists declared a local pie shop “Suppressive” for not carrying apple pie in sufficient quantities to their liking.
Have you ever made a planet, or nation, radioactive?
It was a brutally intense pulse of Compton recoil electrons and photoelectrons that created huge electric and magnetic fields that were MURDER on sensitive electronic equipment at tremendous distances. The electro-magnetic fields, coupled with electric and computer systems, producing huge voltage spikes in the circuits and damaging current surges along all signal paths, fusing precision engineered memory and micro-boards and virtual drives and CPUs into fried silicon laced junk! Nanobots to Nanoscrap in Nanoseconds!
