Heard In there, it’s crazy? Scientology will look more outlandish than ever after reading this.
Scientology, the faith that provides us with unlimited content for discussion each time a new documentary comes out.
Much of this underground sect’s interpretation derives from someone who hijacked a Jeep and drove to escape it through a gate.
It’s a fascinating deep dive, whether it’s Team Leah Remini or Team Tom Cruise. So, to gather some of the most intriguing information about Scientology, we at Shortpedia Voices took a wonder through the interwebs.
Enjoy this essay objectively and logically!
Let’s leap straight into the first insane truth about Scientology that you obviously didn’t know, with that in place.
The founder of Scientology was a science-fiction novelist,
The foundation of Scientology is’ Dianetics.’ It emerged from a book on self-help published in 1950 by its founder, Hubbard. It became a bestseller when it reached the shelves.
The initial book seems like it was written as a joke in a scholarly format. And all manner of rambling footnotes that were more of an interpretation than substantiated data. In a quirky, joking tone, it seemed to be composed.
The substance itself, though, was severe in nature, and the arguments… exceptional! The “reactive mind,” L Ron believed that Dianetics had identified the cause of self-destructive behavior.
Apparently, this was a form of an archive full of painful memories called “engrams,” the cause of nightmares, insecurities, unfounded fears, and psychosomatic diseases.
If you consider that someone with a medical and ideally psychological degree wrote it, all this sounds okay. Yet L. Ron Hubbard was an author of science fiction who held the Guinness World Record for One Author’s Most Written Works. Don’t you ever consider taking life-changing advice from the right person? Yet their website continues to have 4.4million new users annually. Critics put the number from 25 and 55,000 members closed.
Here’s a straightforward summary if you don’t know anything about Scientology. Keep reading, though, and all will be revealed, plus all the juicy bits we picked up.
Scientology recognizes the defects in humans and thus provides Dianetics to climb to Scientology’s upper peaks. You need to become transparent to rise, for this means that you are adaptable to the situation and alter it. A “clear” person has high noble and moral values and can be much better than others in finding and enjoying gratification. According to L Ron Hubbard, their character is improved. They are imaginative and constructive, less vulnerable to sickness, depression, and compulsions.
The next step is running Thetan or OT, which has another 8 stages until you hit “Clear.” This is someone who, without using their body or physical means, can overcome obstacles. Those are rays of the subconscious, Kyle.
Members are under pressure to discuss their “love” lives.
“Dianetics operates by “draining the engrams of painful, dangerous characteristics and removing the reactive mind, leaving a “clear” individual.
Scientologists have to go through auditing to get to the’ straightforward’ target. This is where leaders ask them questions about their life that are confidential. Questions may become relatively intimate and transparent.
Asking people to share this kind of “intel” makes them fairly open to manipulation or extortion, but later, more on the cult-like activities.
Scientologists claim that there is no psychiatric disorder.
Psychiatrists were seen by Ron Hubbard as evil. But that way, he didn’t start out. He initially supplied the American Psychiatric Association and the American Medical Association with his Dianetics studies. Yet, he dismissed his dissertation as unscientific and unplausible. He took potent offense to this and has since turned on all traditions in psychiatry and psychology. Of his pure science, he depicts them as demonic enemies.
The Church Tried to Silence Wikipedia
“Scientology is like black men. They like to go around erasing any reference to their organization that could be classified as “untoward. They try to delete any comments on their portrayal of the newspapers or on the internet.
For fear of the church suppressing knowledge of a sensitive nature to the public, Wikipedia, the free community encyclopedia, had to prohibit any organization connected to Scientology from editing its posts.
It’s Deemed a Cult
In 1985, the public was eventually opened to the insane world of L.Ron Hubbard’s scriptures due to a court case. The outer world has learned about a despotic tyrant called Xenu, chief of a 90-planet confederation. Xenu was forced to take drastic steps, such as exploding volcanoes full of excess population, because of the overpopulation 75 million years ago.
It worked mainly and killed individuals but released their souls, called thetans, which in clusters linked themselves. Those clusters of spirits become “trapped in a frozen alcohol and glycol compound.”

There are plenty there. And for obvious reasons, we cannot unpack it all, so it’s so nuts!
To conclude that pouring more and more money into this institution to attend courses would liberate you from 75-million-year-old volcanic spirits, one must be very manipulated.
It Costs a Lot of money.
Actor Leah Remini is one of the most vocal former members of the party. In several TV shows and reports about her past, she has written and starred. Remini says that, during her 35 years with the church, she invested “millions.”
She spoke up about Scientology’s spending, and the statistics would make your head spin.
The beginner workshops are $35, which is an utter trick to get people in the gates, according to Remini, and does not count against anything anyway. The 12 recommended reading books cost upwards of $4,000 a set, and you are advised to refresh your set every time the writings are changed. Then, with a hefty price tag, there are DVDs, audio, and other instructional resources.
The Bridge to Total Freedom’ is the list of required courses for spiritual accomplishment to be accomplished. It costs around $650 each for this kind of school. But the actual expense is the research time effort, from 9 a.m. Towards 10 p.m. A week, seven days.
Scientologists then have to undergo auditing, coughing up $800 an hour for the church’s counseling variant.
The path and book-buying don’t stop even until you hit “The Bridge.” According to Remini, “They constantly invent new things.” Scientology claims that there have been improvements or that an error was made when a member took the course, so the course has to be completed at their own cost.
If a member wishes to finish “The Bridge,” members reportedly have to remain for as long as the church considers necessary on a ship named the Freewinds.
Even Jesus, according to Scientology, did not make the cut.
According to Scientologist guidelines, main religious deities such as Buddha or Jesus were not up to par if Dianetics were the plumb thread.
“Neither Buddha nor Jesus were Operating Thetans. They were only a shadow above Clear,” according to a Scientology Magazine written in 1959.
Top Scientology Leaders Frequently Vanish
His vengeance is not also saved by David Miscavige’s wife. According to investigative journalism sources, Shelley Miscavige died in really odd conditions, and her place of residence remains undisclosed.
Miscavige moved away from the Gold Base in June 2006. Shelley filled several work positions without his consent while he was gone. This enraged him upon his return, as per witnesses. Since before, she has never been seen.
Scientology plans continuously for the Apocalypse,
Scientologists will be ready if the Apocalypse arrives. For several years, they have been preparing underground bunkers to hide in place. And what a nuclear-proof bunker without a vault-housing library-sized video of their lord and savior, Hubbard.
Gold Base Scroungers Tab
The Gold Base is a community in Southern California called SeaOrg. It houses some 800 Scientologists and Miscavige’s office. In exchange for board, accommodation, and therapy, they have to promise a billion years of service to Scientology.
They also earn a stipend of $50 a week.
Janela Webster, a 19-year-old former SeaOrg member, says how it was not unusual for this measly paycheck to be docked to as little as $13 a week, just for failing to hit development targets or missing scripture-study sessions.
The church says that, except for the annoying billion-year deal, of course, everyone can leave anytime they want. So they get a whopping bill for their time there as they leave, depart or flee from “Gold Base.” As it is called, the Freeloaders Tab details the costs of bed, board, therapy, and other facilities they got while at GoldBase. It could reach one hundred thousand bucks.
You won’t be allowed to quit in good faith if you refuse to pay. As grown adults with no earthly talents and an enormous burden to pay, it is seen as a means for the church to compel defectors to come back when they have no other choice.
They were investigated for human trafficking by the FBI.
The FBI started investigating the Church of Scientology in December 2009 to uncover abuses of human rights confirmed to them by ex-members. Suppose mental, moral, or psychological tension has failed to function on wayward members. In that case, so physical strength is often used to get them back.
The first focus was on the Gold Foundation, and “Human Trafficking” allegations were made.
Deserters who wanted to flee told the gold base’s security forces used “blow drills” to locate exits and get them back. These are powerful, and this is how hundreds of SeaOrg participants get caught and taken back. When a member is disloyal in this manner, they are sent to a facility known as the Recovery Initiative Force for “re-indoctrination.” Members are compelled to do hard work and eat so little here.
The Picture From the Top
The top brass gets paid well on the other side of the tracks from the lowly SeaOrg representatives.
Members like Tom Cruise and David Miscavige apparently exist in the lap of leisure. But the FBI is on their anecdotes because the US legislation forbids the head of a tax-exempt company to enjoy profit payments. They name the procedure inurement, and you will believe that he is definitely “inured” at inurement when you learn of the advantages of Miscavige.
Like the wealthy and prosperous of Hollywood, Miscavige lives enjoying luxury jets, lavish birthday presents like bikes with a price of $70,000. Miscavige had five private stewards and two chefs; and a large selection of vehicles, including a Saleen Mustang and 6 bikes.
As per Scientology spokesperson Tommy Davis, “These gifts are signs of dignity and affection for Mr. Miscavige.” The church fails to comment on how much money Miscavige receives because it is not forced to do so by the church.
It All Began With Acting Classes
If you think it’s a subtle publicity trick to pass out lanyards and T-shirts, then you have Nothing on the Scientologist.
In 1955, the version of a newsletter by a Scientologist encouraged Scientologists to “cultivate celebrities.” We think, kind of like cultivating your own herb garden.
The idea would be to add prestige to “Dianetics” and Scientology as a whole by getting specific prominent names attached to the church. If there is one thing L Ron Hubbard knows more than science fiction, it sells smoke and mirrors.
As a resident acting coach, they named Milton Katselas. He trained hundreds, namely Michelle Pfeiffer, George Clooney, and Ted Danson, of Hollywood hopefuls. From all of the donated money to Scientology by any of the actors he taught, Katselas got a 10 percent fee. Kind of like a sideways system of charitable giving.
“We know that you have your own opinions on this faith, but in L.Ron Hubbard’s words, “Nothing else in Scientology is right to you because, according to your interpretation, you have experienced it, and it is true.
