[Shedona C.]

Before starting the $cientology machine, founder L. Ron Hubbard inexcusably abused the one genuine privilege life granted him: to assist Jack Parsons with one of the most important spiritual experiments of the twentieth century, the Babalon Working, in 1946. Hubbard passed himself off as friend, brother-in-spirit, and confidante of his mentor Parsons, then absconded with Parsons’ yacht, girlfriend, and money. More than that, he absconded with at least a rudimentary working knowledge of the secrets of sexual and ceremonial magick he had learned from his time with Parsons. Hubbard added his own distinctive sci-fi blarney into the mix and twisted these powerful tools into a money-making machine. Publicized and sold bit by bit for increasingly exorbitant fees as a psycho-spiritual technology to cure to all human ills, $cientology became the hydra-headed pseudo-mystical religion it is known as today. Each step along the path of $cientology supposedly takes its marks deeper into the secrets of the ‘religion’ — ‘secrets’ which cost more and more at each step (some of the ‘high levels’ in $cientology are as modestly priced as a small mansion in southern California…) and which consist of this blend of sci-fi storytelling intermingled with practices and concepts totally ripped off from a hodgepodge of older magickal/mystical teachings from various paths, yet stripped of their true substance and usefulness, reconfigured to serve L. Ron and the Organization’s purposes: to bind its adherents into their respective posts as cogs in this perpetual-motion engine of self-promotion. $cientology is quite possibly the most successful attempt by a single human being to create a religion entirely for no other purpose than to make money. This is not conjecture; Hubbard is reported to have said as much in several conversations around the time he launched his project. Anyway, hit a search engine on the web and type in ‘scientology’ or ‘L. Ron Hubbard’ and I’m sure you will find more ‘secrets’ than you ever really cared to know.
