Welcome to the Global Watch Weekly Report

Is the Church of Scientology gaining or losing members and influence? The answer to that question

may depend on who you ask about the controversial movement. A recent group of defectors from

Scientology claim that the church is showing signs of decline in participation and finances due to

abuses by leaders. In contrast, new scholarly outlooks on Scientology are more divided about

whether the movement and its distinctive blend of science, psychotherapy and esoteric religion is

growing.

In late June 2009, a special 35-page series in the St. Petersburg Times newspaper of Florida

reported on allegations of church abuse from top Scientology executives who left the church. The

ex-members, who include former spokesperson Marty Rathburn, the former head of Scientology

headquarters, Tom DeVocht, and Amy Scobie, who helped create the church's celebrity network,

allege that physical violence permeates the organization's management.

Scientology head David Miscavage is said to have beaten many church staffers over minor

infractions and for challenging his leadership. In the last few years attacks on the Scientology have

grown more frequent and bolder by ex-members and other critics. The recent allegations were

denied by church officials, who claim that the defectors are trying to stage a coup and seize control

of the church. However regardless of leadership questions it is the belief system of Scientology

which we examine in this weeks edition of the Global Watch Weekly.

Enjoy.

SCIENTOLOGY UNCOVERED

In 2011 a book was released by Princeton Press

which caused a stir within the occult conspiracy

sector .Hugh Urban's, The Church of Scientology:

A History of a New Religion, had arrived almost

the same day as Janet Reitman's highly

anticipated book about the church, Inside

Scientology.

What was impressive about Urban, is that his 216

pages, not only laid out a robust history of

Scientology in a highly readable narrative, but

also did what others really hadn't before: put L.

Ron Hubbard's (the head of the Scientology

movement) creation in the cultural and political

context of its time -- Scientology is a Cold War

product, and absorbed all of that era's paranoia

and desire for secrecy.

The book made for a great companion to

Reitman's journalistic approach: with both having

the common goals of looking at a controversial

subject from an objective, scholarly point of view.

Urban had stated that publishers would be more

comfortable now that Scientology has stopped

automatically filing lawsuits against newspapers

and publishers. He stated,

"Since the lawsuit with Time magazine [a $416

million monster in 1991 that was dismissed, costing

both sides millions in legal costs], they've changed

strategies. It's dropped off significantlyF..Look at

South Park and the episode that revealed the Xenu

story -- they didn't do anything, really, to them...It

seems like they've realized that the 'sue everybody'

strategy isn't working, and it has the opposite effect of

making them look more defensive and reactionary."

He also pointed out that Scientology has its hands

full with other problems.

"I think they have so many things to deal with,

especially since Rathbun and Rinder came out, they

don't have time to go after publishers"

This is in reference to Marty Rathbun and Mike

Rinder, two high-level church executives who

defected and ever since have been speaking out

about abuses in Scientology.

STRANGE TEACHINGS

Many people who find out what Scientology

teaches are normally baffled and confused as to

how people could be drawn to a movement with

such a bizarre belief about the origins of the

universe and mankind. Furthermore how could so

many celebrities be drawn into such a belief

system?.

These beliefs have been discussed to a large

extent in UFO Religions by Christopher Partridge,

The Encyclopaedic Sourcebook of UFO Religions

by James R. Lewis, and UFO Religion: Inside

Flying Saucer Cults and Culture by Gregory

Reece. Stories of extra-terrestrial civilizations and

interventions in past lives form a part of the belief

system of Scientology.

The most well-known story publicized and held up

to ridicule by critics is that of Xenu, the ruler of the

Galactic Confederacy who is said to have brought

billions of frozen people to Earth 75 million years

ago and placed them near a number of

volcanoes, and dropped hydrogen bombs into

them, thus killing the entire population in an effort

to solve overpopulation. The spirits of these

people were then captured by Xenu and mass

implanted with numerous suggestions and then

“packaged” into clusters of spirits.

From the early 1950s onwards, Scientology’s

founder, L. Ron Hubbard, published a number of

books, lectures and other works describing what

he termed “space opera”. This collection of

writings teaches that all humans have

experienced innumerable past lives, including

lives in ancient advanced extra-terrestrial

societies, such as Helatrobus and the

Marcabians. Traumatic memories from these past

lives are said to be the cause of many present-day physical and mental ailments.

Scientologists also believe that human beings

possess superhuman powers which cannot be

restored until they have been fully rehabilitated as

spiritual beings through the practice of “auditing”,

using methods set out by Hubbard in his various

works also formerly known as Dianetics.

According to Hubbard, when thetans (the

Scientology term for a human being) die they go

to a “landing station” on the planet Venus, where

they are re-implanted and are programmed to

“forget” their previous lifetimes, thus causing

amnesia. The Venusians then “capsule” each

thetan and send them back to Earth to be

dumped into the ocean off the coast of California;

whereupon, each thetan searches for a new body

to inhabit. To avoid these inconveniences,

Hubbard advised Scientologists to simply refuse

to go to Venus after their death.

DEFECTIVE ORIGINS

There is a saying that if something is defective

then always look to its origins for clues as to why

it is defective and looking at the origins of

Scientology and its founder, Ron Hubbard, clearly

shows this to be a good line of reasoning.

Long time Scientology watchers will be at least

somewhat familiar with the tale: that after his

involvement in WWII, Hubbard teamed up with

Jet Propulsion Lab rocket scientist Jack

Parsons, a man heavily into the occult, and in

particular the teachings of The Great Beast,

British occultist Aleister Crowley. You may

even know something about the strange things

Parsons and Hubbard did trying to create a

"Moonchild."

Hugh Urban’s article titled Occult Roots of

Scientology? produces a thorough, academic

study of the ways that Aleister Crowley's

"magick" found parallels in what would become

Hubbard's most famous creation, Scientology.

After returning from his service in the war,

Hubbard moved into John Whiteside "Jack"

Parsons Pasadena rooming house (the

"Parsonage"), which was something of a

flophouse for his occult friends. Parsons was

heavily into Crowley's "magick" and soon found a

willing partner in Hubbard -- and even wrote to

Crowley himself about their attempts to engage in

some of Crowley's rituals.

The relationship between Hubbard and Parsons

ended badly, with accusations of fraud and theft.

But later, as Hubbard developed his ideas for

Dianetics and Scientology, his experience with

Crowley's cult "Ordo Templi Orientis" (OTO)

seems to have permeated his thinking and even

the terminology of the church.

Urban notes that the church itself has virulently

denied that Hubbard's occult activities had

anything to do with Scientology, or that remnants

of Crowley's occult ideas can be found in its

scriptures. But one of the most useful things

about Urban's article is the way he shows that it's

the church's own statements and legal

maneuvers which tend to verify the connection

between Crowley's "magick" and Hubbard's

concepts.

Urban goes back to the early 20th century and

Aleister Crowley's rise as the most famous

occultist of his day. Joining OTO and then

becoming one of its leaders, Crowley wrote

widely, and Urban focuses particularly on his

book Magick in Theory and Practice, which

Hubbard would later cite in lectures.

First and foremost, Crowley repeatedly

emphasized that Magick is a science. To

distinguish his practice from parlor tricks and

stage illusions, Crowley spelt Magick with a "k"

and insisted that it was an exact science based

on specific laws and experimental techniques.

Hence his book begins with a "postulate"

followed by twenty-eight "theorems" presented as

"scientifically" as chemistry or mathematics.

This science is fundamentally about the correct

knowledge of the individual self and its potential.

In short, "Magick is the Science of understanding

oneself and one's conditions."

Urban goes on to explain how in Crowley's

magick, the fundamental concept is Thelema,

which represents a person's inner will, and the

ability to do "what thou wilt." Doing the processes

of Crowley's magick rituals, the point is for a

magus to astrally project himself so that he can

ultimately become an all-powerful being who is

"capable of being, and using, anything which he

perceives, for everything that he perceives is in a

certain sense a part of his being. He may thus

subjugate the whole Universe of which he is

conscious to his individual Will."

In Hubbard's Scientology, which he insists is a

science that will allow you to discover your true

nature, you learn that you are a thetan, and

through his processes you will ultimately be able

to leave your body and become an all-powerful

being able to create universes.

In 1945, Hubbard moved in with Parsons, and the

two got up to some seriously kinky activities.

Early in 1946, Parsons began what he called his

"Babalon Working" experiments as he and

Hubbard began trying to take Crowley's ideas

into new territory.

Crowley had written about the possibility of a

"magickal child" or "Moonchild," and Parsons

decided he'd try to make one. He identified a

woman named Marjorie Cameron as the person

who would be his "elemental," and then the two

got busy.

According to Parsons' remarkable personal

accounts of these rites, Hubbard was intimately

involved in the Babalon Working. Hubbard was

asked to serve as Parsons' seer or "scribe"

during the Babalon Working; indeed, Hubbard

became nothing less than the "voice" for Babalon

herself, who spoke through him and was

recorded by Parsons.

So was Ron sitting by taking notes, or speaking

in ancient languages or something else while

Jack was having occult sex with Marjorie?

Whatever the three got up to, Parsons wrote to

Crowley saying that the deed was done and that

in nine months a Moonchild would be born.

Crowley was not impressed. He wrote to a friend

"Apparently Parsons or Hubbard or somebody is

producing a Moonchild. I get fairly frantic when I

contemplate the idiocy of these goats."

But all was for naught, apparently. No child was

born, Hubbard made off with another of Parsons

girlfriends, Betty Northrup, and absconded to

Florida in a sailboat-sales scheme gone haywire,

and in 1952, Parsons blew himself up with an

accidental chemical explosion in his home lab.

Perhaps the most remarkable part of this whole

story is that the Church of Scientology admits

that all of this did happen.

Apparently unable to deny entirely that Hubbard

took part in wild occult sex rites with a rocket

scientist, the church has, over the years, floated

the howler that Hubbard was actually on a

military mission to infiltrate Parsons black magic

club in order to neutralize it. It is worth noting,

however, that neither the Church of Scientology

nor any independent researcher has ever

produced any evidence for this claim.

Urban in his material turns to even more sensitive

material that the church has never denied the

authenticity of.

“One of the most important documents for making

sense of the Crowley-Hubbard link and the occult

roots of Scientology is a curious text called the

"Affirmations" (or "Admissions") of L. Ron Hubbard.

Composed in 1946 or 1947, "Affirmations" appears to

be Hubbard's own personal writings, meant to have

been read into a tape recording device and then

played back to Hubbard himself. No church official

has ever publicly denied that "Affirmations" is an

authentic Hubbard document, and Scientology's own

legal position indicates that it does consider the

document to be church property and clearly wants to

keep control of the text”

In these extremely personal writings, Hubbard

sounds very much like Crowley. Affirmations

indicates that the author is engaged in some kind

of magical ritual and hoping that his “magical

work is powerful and effective." In fact, the

"affirmations" describe themselves as

"incantations" designed to become an integral

part of listeners' natures, impressing upon them

the reality of their psychic powers and magical

abilities.

Perhaps more significant, however, is the

repeated mention of a female guardian figure, the

most important spiritual adviser and aid to the

listener. The emphasis on the guardian here

seems to have been directly influenced by

Crowley's Magick in Theory and Practice.

Urban states

“According to a mutual release and settlement

agreement between the Church of Scientology of

California and former member Gerald Armstrong in

1986, Armstrong agreed to return a number of

confidential documents to the church, including all

copies of Hubbard's "Excalibur manuscript" and "all

originals and copies of documents commonly known

as the 'Affirmations' written by L. Ron Hubbard." Here

the church clearly indicates that the text was written

by L. Ron Hubbard, and it is difficult to understand

why the church would file suit to retain ownership of

the text were it not an authentic document.”

WHAT IS SCIENTOLOGY

Scientology is a Gnostic [gnosis: to know] system

in every sense of the word. The material is

transitioned out on the Church’s illumination

gradient at steep prices. Each course is a

prerequisite for the next. The church member is

compelled to take that next course to secure their

spiritual salvation or be condemned to sliding

back to a state of degradation. Hubbard set up

Scientology as circles within circles, a spiritual

treadmill without end. Scientology always has a

new "breakthrough" technology to learn that will

unlock your spiritual potential.

Gnosticism parallels Scientology: "Even for

specialists, Gnosticism is hard to define. It is a

set of forms of religious belief that probably came

into existence in the first century BCE as a

heretical form of Judaism. Gnosticism flourished

in the second to fourth centuries CE as heretical

forms of Christianity. It is, as Pheme Perkins

correctly argues, not a systematic set of ideas but

of "mythemes" and speculations that were

combined in a host of different ways both within

and without Christian vocabulary. Gnosticism

claimed that there exists a higher god that has

become trapped in the material world due to a

flaw in God's wisdom.

The book of Genesis was therefore understood to

be a story of how the demonic Jewish God, (often

labeled Yaldobaoth) tried to trap human souls in

material bodies. To free the soul from its

entrapment, the Higher God sent a revealer into

this world to inform humans of its divine origin.

Those who understand this revelation, this

gnosis, are empowered to rise above this world

of demonic materialism and resume their places

in the realm of the Higher God." (Gnosticism and the

New Testament, Pheme Perkins, 1993, pp 261)

EARLY CHURCH FATHERS ON GNOSTICS

It is interesting to see the position of the early

church fathers on Gnosticism. We quote from two

of the early fathers, Tertullian and Iraeneus.

QUOTES FROM TERTULLIAN

"The Valentinians, who

are no doubt a very large

body of heretics - comprising as they do so

many apostates from the

truth, who have a

propensity for fables, and

no discipline to deter them

(therefrom) care nothing

so much as to obscure

what they preach, if indeed they (can be said to)

preach who obscure their doctrine. The officiousness

with which they guard their doctrine is an

officiousness which betrays their guilt. Their disgrace

is proclaimed in the very earnestness with which they

maintain their religious system.”

[Compare Scientology's strange Xenu stories

and the policy of keeping the doctrine secret]

“In like manner, the heretics who are now the object

of our remarks, the Valentinians, have formed

Eleusian Dissipations of their own, consecrated by a

profound silence, having nothing of the heavenly in

them but for their mystery. By the help of sacred

names and titles and arguments of true religion, they

have fabricated the vainest and foulest figment for

men's pliant liking, out of the affluent suggestions of

Holy Scripture, since from its many springs even

errors may well emanate.”

[In like manner, the Scientologists show many

similarities to these early heresies and mystery

religions from the first and second centuries.

Compare the references to 'religious values' and

'Scientific research' and that you can be

'Christian and Scientologist at the same time'.]

“Let, however, any man approach the subject from a

knowledge of the faith which he has otherwise

learned, as soon as he finds so many names of

Aeons, so many marriages, so many offsprings, so

many exits, so many issues, felicities and infelicities

of a dispersed and mutilated Deity, will that man

hesitate at once to pronounce that these are the

"the fables and endless genealogies" which the

inspired apostle by anticipation condemned, whilst

these seeds of heresy were even then shooting

forth?”

[Compare the intricate cosmology of Hubbard

with thetans, marcabs etc. The reference is to

Paul, I Timothy 1:4]

QUOTES FROM IRANEUS

“For who would not expend all that he possessed, if

only he might learn in return, that from the tears of the

enthymesis of the Aeon involved in passion, seas,

and fountains, and rivers, and every liquid substance

derived its origin; that light burst forth from her smile;

and that from her perplexity and consternation the

corporeal elements of the world had their

formation?" (AH I,4:3, p. 321)

[Compare Hubbard's statements about Dianetics

and Xenu. (Dianetics was totally unprecedented,

Hubbard was the only one in 75.000.000.000

years to solve the problem of Xenu, etc.)]

THE FINAL WORD ON SCIENTOLOGY

The website www.whichelohim.com which

focused specifically on the UFO concepts found

within some cults states,

“Scientology is perhaps most different from other UFO

groups in their attempt to keep all of the space opera

stuff under wraps. This is because their system of

belief is probably one of the most bizarre of all UFO

cults. Scientology is a body of beliefs and related

practices created by science fiction writer L. Ron

Hubbard, beginning in 1952 as a successor to his

earlier self-help system, Dianetics. Hubbard

characterized Scientology as a religion, and in 1953

he incorporated the Church of Scientology in

Camden, New Jersey.

Scientology arguably has the most bizarre belief

system of all UFO religious cults believing that there

was a previous god called Xenu who was the dictator

of the "Galactic Confederacy" who 75 million years

ago brought billions of his people to Earth in a

spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes, and

killed them with hydrogen bombs. These events are

known within Scientology as "Incident II", and the

traumatic memories associated with them as "The

Wall of Fire" or "R6 implant".

The Xenu story is part of the church's secret

"Advanced Technology", considered a sacred and

esoteric teaching, which is normally only revealed to

members who have contributed large amounts of

money. The church avoids mention of Xenu in public

statements and has gone to considerable effort to

maintain the story's confidentiality, including legal

action on the grounds of copyright and trade secrecy.”

Gregory Reece, in his book UFO Religion: Inside

flying saucer cults and culture, writes:

"Scientology is unique within the UFO culture

because of this secretiveness, as well as because of

the capitalist format under which they operate.

Scientology is also difficult to categorize. While it

bears strong similarities to the Ashtar Command or

the Aetherius Society, its emphasis upon the Xenu

event as the central message of the group seems to

place them within the ancient astronaut tradition.

Either way, Scientology is perhaps most different from

other UFO groups in their attempt to keep all of the

space opera stuff under wraps. They really would

have preferred the rest of us not to know about Xenu

and the galactic federation. Alas, such secrets are

hard to keep."
