Do scientologists really believe that thing about the frozen aliens being dropped into volcanoes in Hawaii?

Answer 1

Yes Scientologists that have reached the OT III level, this includes Tom Cruise & Travolta of course, believe we have ancient alien souls attached to our bodies causing us all sorts of problems. The only solution is Scientology!!!

Most scientologists aren't at this level, but this is what they are working towards, the bridge to total freedom is about the OT levels.

I see someone has already linked to my question on this, so let me just put the links to the evidence for ease.

Here is the Undeniable proof that scientologists believe this stuff:

It all came out in court, and the Church confirmed it was true. Here are the documents:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~kspaink/fishman/index2.html

Every ex-member that was at OTIII or above also confirms the story of Xenu... Some people have the full scanned copy of it in Hubbard's own handwriting (this would be illegal to post at present).

Here's the first page...
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/OTIII/index.html

Yet experienced scientologists continue to deny this is really in their teachings, i.e., ThetaAlways...Whose 'accurate description' I can refute almost entirely with official evidence or documents from Hubbard.

Here is one: 8 million members, ROFL.... Yeah ok... The real answer is much closer to 100,000.

Theta didn't answer my question...

Here are more of the Church's secrets, people should know this stuff before signing up...

Answer 2

No. Here is an accurate description of what Scientology actually is about:

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy. When I say "applied" I mean you actually use it in your life to change or improve existing conditions. This is different from a religious practice. All religions if you learn about them have a basic philosphy, but they also have certain dogma, rituals and observances, and a certain faith or belief is required. There is nothing wrong with this, but Scientology is not that kind of religion. It does not intrude on anyones faiths of beliefs particularly in the area of God , the Supreme Being, or the Infinite. This area is left totally up to the indivdual, which is why you can be a practicing Jew,for example and still use and apply the priniciples of Scientology in your life. It does not conflict. If anything it will enhance your understanding of your chosen religious practice.
You can have no specific religious beliefs and still benefit from using it.
And it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.
It is a non denominational religion . The dictionary definition that applies:
Religion: The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognises the existence of superhuman power or powers.

The most basic principle of Scientology is that YOU are your own immortal soul, that this is not a "thing" you HAVE but what YOU actually are.
The whole purpose of Scientology is to increase an individual's understanding and awareness of himself. And thereby his native abilities .
When you do this the sphere and zone of his positive influence increases and moves outward into his life, his family ,his friends, his groups and mankind which he is part of.

How this result is achieved is the "technology" of Scientology, which was developed by L.Ron Hubbard after his extensive research and the discoveries he made, about the human spirit. The basic religious philosophy and knowledge of Scientology is very old, going back 10,000 years at least to the Veda or Vedic Hymns from the East. The developement of the technology is new.
He completed his research before his death in 1986 and left all of his results and copyrights
to the Church of Scientology along with most of his considerable estate., when he died.

He published a book in 1951 to communicate the basic principles he discovered called: " Scientology The Fundementals of Thought"
There are currently over 8 million Scientologists in more that 150 countries world wide. However we are a new religion, only 53 years old.
The true story of Scientology as a religion goes like this:
1. A philosopher developes a philosophy about life and death.
2. People find it interesting.
3. People find it works.
4. People pass it along to others.
5. It grows.

A "story" is just a story. It can be based on facts or fiction. It is still a story.

Answer 3

Yep, and Christians believe in a virgin birth created by some supreme being that created everything, is monitoring everything and will judge everyone. He will give eternal bliss to believers and eternal torment to unbelievers.
