Scientologists Really Believe This


The Christian community as well as most life affirming religions consider that Source equals God, or the Creator.  Scientologists believe that L. Ron Hubbard was source although there is no physical evidence that he created anything but another apocalyptic cult.  

That, in itself, is not that disturbing.  What I find more disturbing is that they put Hubbard's writings, Management and buildings above Scientologists.  They place themselves above professionals and artists and those above "good citizens".  I find it interesting that they place criminals above rocks, insects and fence posts, but all of these above The FBI, CIA and INTERPOL, and all of the above over squirrels (people who practice Scientology outside of the church).  Lowest in the food chain is, of course, the psych's (psychiatrists and psychologists).  Very strange but not if you know certain facts.

You see in 1974, Hubbard announced to the Scientology world who he "really was".  He claimed that he was none other than Maitreya (a bodhisattva who in the Buddhist tradition is to appear on Earth, achieve complete enlightenment, and teach the pure dharma. According to scriptures, Maitreya will be a successor of the historic Sakyamuni Buddha. The prophecy of the arrival of Maitreya references a time when the Dharma will have been forgotten on Jambudvipa. It is found in the canonical literature of all Buddhist sects (Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana), and is accepted by most Buddhists as a statement about an event that will take place when the Dharma will have been forgotten on Earth)  Of course he changed the name slightly and called himself Metteyya, whether a misspelled word or artistic license who knows.

He made this epic announcement in a work called "The Hymn of Asia"  In he claimed that:


I come to bring you
all that Lord Buddha
would have you know 
of life, Earth and Man.

I come to you with
Freedom
I come to you with 
science
I come to teach you
I come to help you.


With arduous study
With interest and
love
You will all
In very few years
Some in months
Become Bodhi


I can be addressed
But in our temples best
Address me and you address
Lord Buddha.
Address Lord Buddha
And you then address
Metteyya.


Be attentive now.
You have preserved
Only a bit 
of what 
Lord Buddha
Said. 
He said much more 
But then there came
Men who said 
Other things 
And changed 
A piece of this
A bit of that
And so we strayed.


Censor not free speech
And censor not free thought
But recall
In all these
Twenty-five centuries
None came 
And spoke
The Great Lessons Again 
Nor added to them 
Then to make 
You free.
I speak then
So you can agree.
So speak and think
Whatever you will
But come again to
these Lessons
If you stray
And become lost
and slaves as you have been.
With these 
And your agreement to 
We now can build
The Eastern 
And the Western Worlds
Into one great
Brotherhood of Man.


We can civilize 
the Barbarian
We can make lawful
the criminal

We can make sane
the insane
We can ourselves 
be free.

We can make just
The ruler
We can make
Merciful the strong
We can make well
The sick
We can make intelligent
The dull person.

We can make social
The unsocial.

We can make kind
The cruel.
We can reach
Men's minds
And change them.

I will undertake
To give you Golden
plaques


Two months of study
For the bright
Will place one's 
Foot upon the way
To help the rest.

A week of help
From such a student
Can make a Bodhi
Of the best.
Gone are your
decades of study
To attain
A Light.


We enter into a
Golden Age.
We are Golden Men.
We are the New Men
The new spiritual
Leaders of Earth.

We will prosper
To that degree
That we work
We will become
Rich in peace
And palaces to
The degree that
We maintain good order
And reasonable conduct
And preserve or even create
The Sanity of Man.
You have waited
For Centuries Past
For the Lessons
Your freedom
And Man's freedom
Awaits
Your study
And your
Skill.

We who have watched Scientology these many years can see through the falsehood of many of the statements in this tome.

Making the sick well - If you have an illness and walk into an Org, you are told flat out that there is no cure here.

Making sane the insane - If you have a mental disease and have ever been treated professionally, you are marked an illegal P.C. and never allowed "treatment" in Scientology.

Address me and you address Lord Buddha. Address Lord Buddha And you then address Metteyya. - He has announced his return as the Enlightened One.


Censor not free speech And censor not free thought - If you have ever been in Scientology, you know that this is a bald faced lie.  Not only do they censor free speech and free thought, they go to court to prevent them.


We can make kind The cruel. - If you have ever been on staff, you know that some of the most cruel and anti social people in the world make it to senior management positions.

I could go on, but I will leave it to all of you to fill in the blanks.  So let's all play Find-The-Lie.  You will not win any prizes but the best ones will have bragging rights.  Thank you all for reading my posts.  Be sure to tune in next time.

  2. There is an excellent academic paper from yesteryear that debunks the myth that eastern philosophy plays a role in Scientology beliefs that I have archived on Scribd:
