Have you read the story of scientology and xenu?

Question

Why can they believe this? It seems rediculous to me. Any scientologist views on this would be appreciated.

Answer 1

This is a story. There are lots of stories in the Bible too, they have different sources and some of them are based on things that might have happened and some of them are not.Some of them have a message or purpose etc. They are still stories.
Myths are also created or past down via stories.
No one "bellieves" in stories, fiction or not. Things get invented, altered, fiction is the art of creating stories.
This story is not what the religion of Scientology is about.
Here is a description of what Scientology is:
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 personal 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.

Those are the verifiable facts. I'm a Scientologist.... have been for more than 34 years, I should know. This is my viewpoint. Stories are not what Scientology is about.

Answer 2

First I want to clarify that the story of Xeno is just a fable and no Scientologist believe it to be true. In fact most Scientologist I have meet haven't even heard the story. Scientology is much like Buddhism but instead of meditation they use auditing with the same goal and faster results. Scientology is the most attacked religion there is. Why? Because it works. Scientologist are some of the able people in this planet. like Leah Remini, Jenna Elfman, John Travolta, ect. Scientologist are kind, gentle and good communicators (except Tom Cruise but he is learning). Now we live in a culture that is run on the absurd believe that there is no soul and that people are dangerous and need to be medicated to be controlled. Not long ago the practices of electro shock and lobotonies were common practice to control people. The biggest difference between Psychiatry and Scientology, is that Psychiatry believes that man need to be controlled to be made good and Scientologist believe that man needs to be liberated (restore the power of choice) to be made good. These are two opposite points of view. Now if Scientologist win, the drug companies and the Psychiatryst are going bankrupt so they are investing a lot of money in propaganda to make people believe that Scientology is bad. All that proganda is compose of lies and exagerations. But Scientology is still here. Why? Because it works. And you can't argue with results. Hundred of thousands of people attest that Scientology works. And you only hear of a handfull of complains (big deal). If Scientology didn't work it would had disapeared long time ago, but it is here and growing despite all lies in the media. And that my friend is amazing.

Answer 3

As reported, Xenu would not arise til OTIII and previous. even nonetheless, Scientologists hear approximately area opera long earlier they get to the OT ranges. it rather is in a great style of taped lectures and bulletins accessible to any initiating Scientologist, for constructive. it is because of the fact Scn'ists have self assurance life, as religious beings, did not in simple terms ensue on planet Earth. they think in previous lives going each and every of the some time past by infinity, so as that consists of different planets. Scientologists view different lives as being on a par with this lifetime. Scientology counselling is approximately dealing with previous traumas and the thoughts and recommendations the guy had approximately them. it is genuine of traumas from final year, final decade, final lifetime, or in a galaxy some distance some distance away. maximum critics do not look conscious of that or they gloss over it. i don't think of it is any sillier than believing in angels, demons, heaven, hell or that all of it ends whilst we die.

Answer 4

You aren't supposed to know about that until you are at the higher OT levels. At that point you have spent about 30 thousand dollars and about 5 or 10 years, so by then they have you so brainwashed that you will believe anything.

Answer 5

They don't tell you right away, and by the time you find out, you've been brainwashed. Like with the Mormon religion. I was in it 3 yrs before I learned about the special underwear and the levels of heaven and god of your own planet thing.
