COGNITIONS OF A LIBERATED SCIENTOLOGIST
In the years since leaving Scientology, I've become aware of just how
brainwashed I had been. I have probed for
exactly HOW an intelligent, well-educated, free-thinking agnostic could be
so taken in by a "religion," which I then did not
believe it to be. In discovering this, I could only be awed by Hubbard's
twisted brilliance. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Had he lived in more primitive times, before the mass media (which he
feared) and the information superhighway (which his
successors fear), he certainly would have succeeded. Should his autocratic
cult ever come to great power, he may yet
become a God in most minds, as he intended. And I believe the human race
would then suffer perhaps the most fascistic,
mind-controlling domination in history.
What gets one addicted to heroin? Long before any physical addiction, there
is the rush, the high, the temporary
RELEASE from all suffering - emotional or physical, conscious or not. For
perhaps the first time, there is no anxiety, no fear,
no pain. It's gone! Blissful peace at last! I'm FREE! And freedom tastes of
reality!
Nothing wrong with this, except its falsity due to the heroin, which
enslaves. If some psychological "tech" and its
source are corrupt, they bring the follower to this point, but then mislead
and exploit. In such euphoria, and with suggestion,
there may come a quasi-religious leap of faith: THIS IS IT! All my life I've
searched and prayed for this! The Source of this is
GOD! Anything this good MUST BE ALL GOOD! This is THE ANSWER, and worth any
risk! And worth any price! It's THE WAY to TOTAL FREEDOM! Call it a drug,
psychotherapy, deception - I don't
care! THIS IS THE WAY!!
So commanding is this belief, that it blinds to all evidence to the
contrary. The rational, analytical mind, perhaps
perceptibly enhanced, becomes imperceptibly stultified, blinded. The word of
Source is now Gospel. Then comes the dark side
of religion, intolerance and hatred: Disbelievers? Devils! Evil foes of my
Source and his Church! Suppressives, enemies, fair
game! This is THE WAY, and the ONLY way - I must have more, everyone must!
How DARE they resist the will of Source and
block the Bridge to TOTAL FREEDOM?!
What will a junkie pay for more junk? Anything and everything. What will a
junkie do for a fix? Anything and
everything. Thus he or she is easily controlled by even the suggestion it
will be denied. Then: I need money. I'll get more
people hooked. My Source wants me to - he's even taught me how. I must
disconnect from non-junkies - except those of value
to my Source. I'll take their money - my Source and his mob get that, but it
earns me my fix. I'll lie. Steal. Intimidate. Cleverly
con people. It's OK; it's the greatest good for the greatest number. This is
THE WAY TO TOTAL FREEDOM, and I'LL DO
ANYTHING FOR IT!
So thank you, L. Ron Pusher and his fanatical followers. Fortunately,
self-liberated from earlier religious
indoctrination, I was too smart for you - I soon sensed the danger and never
got fully hooked, though you sure tried hard, with
high pressure and covert manipulations, to suck me in totally and take all
my money. But I did want the euphoria, the "gains,"
so much that I tolerated your arrogant disrespect, paid a fortune, and put
up with bad service and abusive, unscrupulous
treatment. Guess you don't have to be polite once your junkies are hooked
and you are the only Source around. In awakening
to how I fell into your trap, I've become far more free than you wanted me
to be. I am far happier for not being under your thumb.
I don't need your opiate, or anyone else's. I am my own Source. Being
"clear" is OK, but far less than what you claimed for it. I
believe that joining your staff is volunteering for slavery, and the OT
levels are little more than a sci-fi based scam. An "OT" I
knew was in jail, as Hubbard's wife and several other Scientology officials
have been. That OT recently died from a stroke at a fairly young age. I've
found SELF-DETERMINED FREEDOM far better than what you offer, for as
philosopher J. W. Von Gothe said, there are none more hopelessly enslaved
than those who falsely believe they are free.
Had Hubbard been content to honestly deliver Dianetics(tm), he would have a
place in history alongside Freud and
Korzybski, from whom he took most of this "tech." Tragically, his
megalomania and greed led him to corrupt it, degrading it to
a con-game "religion" - a paranoid cult world he could play God in, using it
to exploit and subjugate more than to heal and liberate.
Given the mindset of the ruling Scientology elite, the only hope for reform
lies in EXPOSING THEIR CRIMES AND LIES,
making such practices too costly to continue. As the truth becomes known, I
believe what is good in Scientology will find "total
freedom" from the cult monopoly and become available and affordable to all.
Until this psychological-spiritual technology is in
truly ethical hands, I must warn all - DO NOT RISK INVOLVEMENT! And if
already involved, LEAVE WHILE YOU STILL HAVE
ENOUGH FREE WILL TO DO SO.

their techniques of mind control and subjugation - the
use of personal secrets confided in counseling for intimidation and
blackmail - the exploitation of staff - abuse and slavery in
their "RPF" - brutal and degrading punishments - the big ripoff of
Missionholders by Hubbard's "Finance Dictator" and "Finance
Police" - harassment and terror tactics against dissenters - Hubbard's tall
tales, false claims and con games - imprisonment,
abductions, suicides, and unexplained deaths - criminal conspiracies - and
much more.

Yes, I believe I have, and I got out before they could perpetrate THEIR EP
on me, in which case I would be almost penniless or a virtual slave - or
both!
