PULLING BACK THE CURTAIN
ON THE WIZARD OF CAUSE
(aka The Road to Toto Freedom)
The pathological liar L. Ron Hubbard claimed to be many things. A Scientist, a Doctor, a Philosopher, a Nuclear Scientist, a War Hero, Mankind's Greatest Friend, the Commodore, the Source, the Savior of mankind--and so much more. He even claimed that
he was the fulfillment of a 2,500 year old prophesy by Buddha in the form of the
Meteyya or future (modern day) Buddha--as detailed in his book "Hymn of Asia". Yes, Ron was "him" of Asia, the new and improved Buddha!
By default, the pathologically lying cult called Scientology also claimed to be many things: A Science, a Philosophy, a Religion, an Applied Religious Philosophy, a Self-Help Technology, and a Cosmic Key to Total Freedom, Total Knowingness, Total Freedom, Total Certainty, Total Happiness, Total Immortality, Total Prosperity and Totally Miraculous Miracles any time at all you simply decided to use your Preternatural Postulate Powers.
I suggest here that Hubbard and his cult were none of what they repeatedly claimed.
So then, what IS Scientology actually?
First and foremost it is a hoax. A miracles-for-money hoax.
But let me suggest it is simultaneously something else as well. Scientology is a psychological pandemic.
In psychology, the terms that most closely captures, defines and describes this type of virally propagating delusion are:
Mass psychogenic illness (MPI): Also called mass sociogenic illness, mass psychogenic disorder, epidemic hysteria, or mass hysteria, is "the rapid spread of illness signs and symptoms affecting members of a cohesive group, originating from a nervous system disturbance involving excitation, loss, or alteration of function, whereby physical complaints that are exhibited unconsciously have no corresponding organic aetiology".
Mass Hysteria: In sociology and psychology, mass hysteria (also known as mass psychogenic illness, collective hysteria, group hysteria, or collective obsessional behavior) is a phenomenon that transmits collective illusions of threats, whether real or imaginary, through a population and society as a result of rumors and fear. In medicine, the term is used to describe the spontaneous manifestation—or production of chemicals in the body—of the same or similar hysterical physical symptoms by more than one person. A common type of mass hysteria occurs when a group of people believes that it is suffering from a similar disease or ailment,[5] sometimes referred to as mass psychogenic illness or epidemic hysteria.[6]
Although over ten million descriptive/diagnostic words have been written by "Dr" Hubbard about the symptoms and "diseases" that plague mankind, there are really only five (5) basic and core illnesses (and their key symptoms) that Scientologists suffer from:
1.
ENGRAMOSIS: A chronic anaten state causing one to join the COS (Church of Somnambulism).
2.
BTOSIS: Hearing voices in your head telling you what to do and what to think, other than the voice of L. Ron Hubbard.
3.
PTSOSIS: Rollercoastering--but not on a sacredly certified rollercoaster ride within the standard theme park called ScientologyLand.
4.
IMPLANTOSIS: Being overwhelmed with false ideas forced into one's mind by use of an electronic device operated by evil beings, as opposed to being overwhelmed with false ideas forced into one's mind by use of an electronic device (e-meter) operated by ethical beings (Scientologists).
5.
BLOWOSIS: Any sudden or acute lessening of attendance and/or attention that results in the being not donating.
ps: Scientologists do in fact "agree" and "dramatize" en mass in the ways showcased in innumerable famous historical examples of "Mass Hysteria". To wit, they are the unwitting victim of
"......the spontaneous manifestation—of the same or similar hysterical physical symptoms by more than one person." Also present is the shared collective "
fear' wherein "....
a common type of mass hysteria occurs when a group of people believes that it is suffering from a similar disease or ailment". Do not Scientologists blinklessly believe and fear they are all suffering from pre-natal engrams AND quadrillion year old wholetrack 'psych' implants? Do they not fully agree and fear that they have been infected/infested with 75 million year old unconscious aliens?
