Space Opera as Theology, Tom Cruise and Militant Scientology

A major topic of discussion this weekend at Fort Selby was the apparent psychotic eruption and messianic anti-psychiatry crusade that Tom Cruise has embarked upon.

This prompted me to explain to everyone about Xenu, the great galactic overlord of Scientology. For now the Time Has Come to Reveal Difficult Truths about the origins of all these damn thetans on HongPong.com. The Wikipedia Xenu entry is fabulous. According to WikiPedia, psychiatry was said to some sort of role in Xenu's genocide. And the Dianetics volcano is supposed to represent the whole episode. You can see L. Ron Hubbard's real handwriting (or here). Behold:

The head of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around larger stars visible from here) (founded 95,000,000 years ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation (250 billion or so per planet, 178 billion on average) by mass implanting. He caused people to be brought to Teegeeack (Earth) and put an H-Bomb on the principal volcanos (Incident II) and then the Pacific area ones were taken in boxes to Hawaii and the Atlantic area ones to Las Palmas and there "packaged".

His name was Xenu. He used renegades. Various misleading data by means of circuits etc. was placed in the implants.

When through with his crime loyal officers (to the people) captured him after six years of battle and put him in an electronic mountain trap where he still is. "They" are gone. The place (Confederation) has since been a desert. The length and brutality of it all was such that this Confederation never recovered. The implant is calculated to kill (by pneumonia etc) anyone who attempts to solve it. This liability has been dispensed with by my tech development.

One can freewheel through the implant and die unless it is approached as precisely outlined. The "freewheel" (auto-running on and on) lasts too long, denies sleep etc and one dies. So be careful to do only Incidents I and II as given and not plow around and fail to complete one thetan at a time.

In December 1967 I knew someone had to take the plunge. I did and emerged very knocked out, but alive. Probably the only one ever to do so in 75,000,000 years. I have all the data now, but only that given here is needful.

One's body is a mass of individual thetans stuck to oneself or to the body.

One has to clean them off by running incident II and Incident I. It is a long job, requiring care, patience and good auditing. You are running beings. They respond like any preclear. Some large, some small.

Thetans believed they were one. This is the primary error. Good luck.

An ex-scientologist pointed out in an interesting claim about judging it as a religion, "Why would the Xenu story be more ridiculous than Moïse splitting the red sea in two, Jesus being born from a virgin, Mohammed raising to the sky on a ball of fire, or Christians eating wafers and drinking red wine while the minister mumbles about the body of Christ?" Well, that's why I'm an atheist.

The scientific analysis of OT III at Operation Calmbake, an anti-Scientology operation. Meanwhile, this story is quite horrible. "Space Opera as Theology." They've been picking on people using the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The Church sent its agents into the WTC site.

And so now Cruise says that psychiatrists are ruining our children with Ritalin and such. Sometimes I fear the same, but how can exorcising invisible aliens from your body provide a viable alternative? He went totally crazy on the Today show with Matt Lauer, and Lauer was a real good sport about it. Massive internet threads are the result. Interesting stuff about Scientology and its tentacles in Hollywood. I didn't realize Beck was one. Kirstie Alley, yes.
