Ron Hubbard, they prob- ably know that he was a hugely prolific author of science fiction and also fantasy, Western, and adventure stories in the decades shortly before found- ing the Church of Scientology. While science fiction was by no means his only genre, he did contribute significantly to the larger UFO culture in the United States, filling magazines such as Astounding Science Fiction and Marvel Science Stories with entertaining tales of space trav- el, life on other planets, alien races, super powers, and paranormal abilities Hubbard ; ; As we will see in more detail below, Old Doc and his Soldiers of Light would later provide sort of the fictional blueprint for many aspects of the Church of Scientology, which was founded just a few years later.

Dianetics itself first appeared in the May issue of Astounding Science Fiction—a popular magazine to which Hubbard was a regular contributor. The cover of this issue featured an apelike, alien creature with yellow cat eyes, whom readers would learn is the Duke of Kraakahaym from the Empire of Skontar Hubbard 43— In an issue of Marvel Science Stories published in , he presented Dianetics as the path to a new kind of human, a Homo superior or Homo novis, far surpass- ing the ordinary abilities, health, and intellect of mere Homo sapiens.

Despite its initial success, Dianetics was already beginning to sputter as a movement by and soon entered into bankruptcy. However, just a year later, Dianetics was replaced by and subsumed into a new and explicitly religious movement called the Church of Scientology, which was first incorporated in December Urban You have turned planets into parks and parks into cinders.

Unlike other UFO religion, Scientology never developed a really coherent or consistent cosmology. Throughout his lectures of the s and 60s, how- ever, Hubbard does discuss various alien civilizations and key events in the history of the universe.

These space opera themes also carried over in many ways into the structure and organization of the Church of Scientology. The clearest example is the Sea Organization or Sea Org, which was formed in as the innermost, elite core of dedicated Scientologists.

Like the Soldiers of Light, who work under the symbol of the crossed rods to fight disease and save humankind, the Sea Org serves under the eight-pointed Scientology cross to fight both physical and spiritual disease. Only one palm print would cause a slab of rock to slide away, revealing these chariots of the gods. It awaited the return of a great leader. Sadly, however, the mission had to be cut short when Hubbard had problems with the Spanish port authorities, and the buried space station remained undiscovered.

In sum, while Scientology may not be best described as a UFO religion on a par with groups such as the Aetherius Society, it clearly incorporated a huge amount of science fiction and UFO mythology and was part of the same gen- eral alternative spiritual milieu of the s and 60s. Although once surrounded with intense secrecy not to mention intense litigation , the OT levels became part of the public record in the course of a court case involving a former Scientologist named Steven Fishman in ; they were leaked to the media and then onto the Internet, where they now circulate promiscuously throughout myriad sites and databases Urban —; Rothstein The most infamous of these confidential levels is OT III, which claims to re- veal a key episode the history of the universe and the deeper secrets of human existence this is also the narrative that was revealed and mercilessly satirized in an episode of the animated television show, South Park, in According to the documents provided in the Fishman case and other sources , the story goes something like this: 75,, years ago, there was a Galactic Confederacy consisting of 76 planets, ruled by an evil dictator named Xenu or Xemu, in some versions of the story.

The thetans of these individuals, however, survived and eventually adhered to the bodies of modern human beings. In addition to a kind of esoteric, space opera cosmology, the OT lev- els are also supposed to reveal the increasingly powerful—and ultimately, unlimited—abilities of the thetan. The thetan is, after all, originally a being of infinite potential; the goal of these advanced levels of auditing is there- fore to release it from its entrapment in MEST and so reawaken its tremen- dous power to shape and reshape reality.

Scientology publications such as Advance! Eventually, the exteriorized thetan is able to journey beyond the Earth it- self, visiting the distant corners of the Solar System and beyond. Just as the thetan has already lived countless lives over millions of years on other planets, it now has the potential to journey far beyond the limits of the physical body and Earth itself, exploring new worlds and the vast spatial- temporal expanse of the universe.

Ultimately, however, the powers of the OT go far beyond simply exterioriz- ing and flying beyond this planet. In its fullest liberation, the thetan has truly unlimited and indeed godlike power, the ability to construct, reconstruct, and deconstruct the MEST universe itself.

Like the original thetan who ruled its own universe before becoming entangled in the MEST world, the fully realized thetan could in fact create its own universe and manipulate it in any way he chose. And this has … sold the individual out of his ability to make a universe.

Moreover, the Cold War also played out in many ways in space itself, as the U. CoS, Church of Scientology.

Dianetics, Hubbard's derivative of Freud's abreactive therapy, among others mental healing therapy; scorned by the mental health profession as being unscientific nonsense.

Describes people who are superior to meatballs, qv, or ordinary people. Drug Rundown, there are two of these, one at the bottom of the Bridge, one near the top. While the Purification Rundown is meant to remove the drugs residues supposedly stored in your fat, the Drug Rundown is meant to audit out the harmful effects of drugs on your mind.

It is all very spiritual. Or is that medical? Or should that be financial? See Grades, OT 4, Purif. See also Dianazene, Guk Bomb, for comparison. Two things seem to be pulling in different directions here; on the one hand you have Hubbard trying to cleanse drugs out of the system with his Purification Rundown, and on the other hand there is his admitted use of drug compounds on his guinea-pig followers. See OSA. Duplicate, to make an exact copy of; to fully understand in order to obey.

Exit counseling, an ethical method of recovering people from destructive cults, involving talking and giving out information in a non-coercive manner. Compare Deprogramming. Ex-Scientologist, a former member of the Scientology cult who has left and has gained a greater understanding of what was done to them in Hubbard's brainwashing machine, and who has a desire to see the hidden truth behind Scientology's carefully constructed PR facade exposed to the public.

Most Ex-Scientologists do this for the public interest, despite personal risk of harassment and groundless defamation lawsuits from Scientology's Office of Special Affairs department and its small army of lawyers, agents, and PIs. We have little or nothing to gain by going public with what we know about the cult from the inside, and some of us will pay dearly for our devotion to the truth. We were lied to and ripped off by L.

Ron Hubbard, in both a spiritual and monetary sense, and we don't want to see anyone else manipulated the way we were. Scientology has in many ways destroyed our lives; we would be less than human to stand idly by and watch as more "raw meat" public are ripped to shreds in Scientology's money-making mill. Exteriorize, to leave the body. Scientologists believe we can step outside our bodies in the form of a disembodied "Thetan" or spirit, and hover about looking at things.

FACTNet has undergone a shift toward carrying the torch for free speech on the Internet more recently after lengthy and expensive litigation with Scientology. Fair Game, the notorious Scientology policy describing how to deal with critics, ex-members, and other undesirables dehumanized with the label "Suppressives"; they may be "Sued, tricked, lied to, or destroyed," as per policy.

A more recent policy has banished the WORDS "Fair Game", but the policy of what to do to these "SPs" or "Suppressives" cannot ever be cancelled, as it is Hubbardian scripture, and his words cannot ever be altered in any way per Scientology's policy. Fastflow, able to zip through course checksheets because of superliteracy obtained from M1 word clearing and the Student Hat. Brainwashing ; an auditing "therapy" procedure involving stripping away "bad" thoughts or wrong ideas and replacing them with the proper cultic dogma.

A rhythmic swinging of the Meter needle back and forth indicating end of session, or completion of a "therapy" process.

Folder, an Ethics Scientology's corrections section folder or Auditing "therapy" folder in which Scientology collects all the dirt on people obtained from auditing sessions and Ethics actions which can be used as blackmail to keep critics quiet.

Culled information from folders of former Scientologists who have turned into critics has a habit of showing up on ars. Foundation, one of the two groups inside a Class V Org, which is a Scientology organization that delivers lower level services. Foundation works the night and weekend shift, while Day works days. Franchise, an old name used before the more appealing Newspeak "Mission," qv. Franchise connotes the financial business aspects of Scientology too much, and so the term "Mission" is now used to add more religiosity.

A Mission is a low level Scientology money making organization; a franchise, in other words. See Mission. Freedom, Scientology's newspeak-monikered propaganda newsletter, used for PR dissemination. See PR, good roads fair weather.

Freeloader debt, a debt incurred by staff members who break their 3, 5, or one billion year in the Sea Org contracts, and are thus required to pay for every auditing action and training course done to them while on staff. The freeloader debt usually runs into the tens of thousands, but cannot be collected in most cases as the contract in not considered to be in good faith.

Freewinds, the SO-run Sea Org ship that cruises around tropical ports and gives the OT-8s top level Scientologists a hangout while they proceed with their auditing. Ah, how nice it must be to be at the top of the Bridge on a Clear day!

Free Zone, also Freezone ; a loose affiliation of people who still believe in some of the ideas of Scientology auditing procedures, but who have left the formal structure of the cult in a type of Scientology Reformation.

The Free Zone is a little more liberal than the hard-core Churchies, as they sometimes like to call people still in the cult proper, yet they often still have the trappings of Scientology, for example, the E-Meter, Auditing, the concepts of Ethics, Overts bad deeds , Conditions, and the use of disparaging terms for outsiders, Meatballs, Bashers, Wogs, etc. The cult proper hates these splinterers and labels them "squirrels". Their newsgroup is alt. Free Zoner, also Freezoner ; a member of the Free Zone, qv.

Opinion is split on whether this term is or is not derogatory. Some people are happy to be called Free Zoners, and apply the term to themselves. Others claim it is derogatory when used by critics, but this may be a confusion with attitudes as expressed in sentences and simple nouns.

Does a sentence like "Canadians are politically stupid liberals" make the term "Canadian" a derogatory term? Free Zoners have been called deluded for still adhering to Hubbardian views and holding the vile man in high regard; I do not believe that this can make the term itself derogatory, but others feel differently about it. The term did not arise within the critical arena, which sheds further doubt on the derogatory label hypothesis.

FSO, 1. Flag Ship Organization. In reality this has been various ships and locations over the last 30 years. Gang-Bang Sec Check, a cruel process involving getting the victim to confess to "crimes" or Overts while on a meter and in front of a group of people.

GE, Genetic Entity. A low-grade soul that stores whole track engrams memories of pain and unconsciousness from the last few trillion years of the patient's life like the clam incident people descended from clams, according to Hubbard. The concept of the GE can be hard to understand until one realizes that it is unadulterated nonsense, like much of Scientology. GI, 1. Gross Income. One of the most important Stats statistics for cult groups. Good Indicators; a smiling face after an auditing or "therapy" action.

GO, the Guardian's Office. The cult's KGB, responsible for attacking SPs, qv publishing Dead Agent materials largely manufactured dirty laundry on perceived enemies , framing political figures and judges, intimidating witnesses, etc. Godwin's Law, a rhetorical construct that postulates that the mere mention of the holocaust in an argument renders it null and void, as the slaughter of seven million Jews in WWII is a singularly momentous and ghastly historical event.

Some people stretch the law to apply to mentioning Nazis and the Third Reich generally in any debate, but this is a dubious over-extension at best. I hereby invoke Godwin's Law! Note: E-Meters were also produced by Bridge. A delightful little caricature of a Scientology 'church' with a flowering bed in front of it - surrounded by the nastiest razor wire, floodlights, and video observation cameras I have ever seen.

Golden Age of Tech, the. Releases from reportedly sharpen up auditing. Good roads, fair weather. A PR technique which all Scientologists are instructed in to automatically handle criticisms with bland statements about other things.

The idea is to discuss something "non-reactive" to the person, and also steer the topic away from Scientology, a topic Scientologists are indoctrinated to not discuss in any depth for obvious reasons. See PR. A supposed mass which develops when one is thwarted from reaching a Goal by a Problem or stop. Grades, preliminary steps to the true enlightenment and understanding of Body Thetans evil spirits inhabiting the body on the OT Operating Thetan; a person as a spirit able to operate free of the body levels.

The Grades range from 0, learning to talk, to VII, clear certainty, and come before clear a person who is freed from the effects of the Reactive Mind; the place where all the memories of pain and unconsciousness are stored on the Bridge.

The typical sequence for processing then goes up the numbered Grades. See also Class, Bridge, Level. Grade 0, learn to communicate with anyone about anything. Too bad no one in Scientology has reached this level! See Class 0. Grade 1, I learn to handle your Problems, as long as they don't include being a victim of a money-grubbing cult.

Grade 2, II Overts and Withholds, your dirty laundry aired in public. Don't tell them anything you wouldn't mind posted to Usenet or given out in pamphlets to your neighbors, co-workers and friends. Guess that lots of people in this "church" need it. See Ser Fac. Grade 4. If the mark 'goes clear' on new era dianetics then grades 5, 6, and 7 are skipped.

The person does a simple process called the sunshine rundown, and goes on to OT 1 No; the cult doesn't call it Grade 4. This is where it would be logically. Grade 5, V Power, awareness of self as source. I got the Power, yeah, yeah. Just keep repeating it; you couldn't really be wasting thousands of dollars, could you?

After all, this is America! You should be able to buy spiritual freedom! God knows, you can buy everything else. See Power processing.

Grade 6, preparation for the Clearing Course. Meant to release the locks from the reactive mind. End Words are a kind of verbal lock that keeps the reactive mind or whatever in restimulation; more pseudoscience on parade. See R6EW. Grade 7, Clearing course.

Your pockets will be feeling a severe drain! Unless your last name is Gates. Visa or Amex accepted, but cash preferred. Financial help with getting a mortgage on your house free of charge. See Clear Certainty Rundown. Gradient, a gradual approach to brainwashing that Scientology employs so as not to scare off potential recruits. Things like OT-III, widely available over the net, are deemed to be "out-gradient", as they drive away raw recruits because they look like insane gibberish sputtered from the foaming mouth of a brain-fevered baboon.

Also called a "gradient scales approach". Deviating from this tech is called going "out gradient"; a serious error. Green Vols, the green volumes of the OEC Organization Executive Course; a high-level and very expensive course that teaches executives how to manage an organization. Used to siphon money from Class V Orgs, lower level Orgs, uplines to higher level Orgs that run the course that contain Scientology policy.

Guk Bomb, a mixture of benzedrine, vitamins, and glutamic acid Hubbard thought helped the auditing "therapy" go smoothly. See also Dianazene, Purif. Handle, to fix something up or solve a problem.

The HAS pronounced like has , is often the person who recruits for staff; personnel is one of their duties.

A precursor to the IAS, qv. Havingness, a feeling of ownership or possession; something quite unfamiliar to SO Sea Org members. The center of power while L. HFA is added to a post title when there is no one posted to a position. A post is then "held from above" by the next person up the chain of command on the org board.

HGC, the Hubbard Guidance Center; the place where the expensive auditing of Scientology processes or crude psychotherapy is done. Hill 10, a serious situation or problem area for Scientology requiring immediate attention. HoM, History of Man; an L. Ron Hubbard book which purports that the Piltdown Man hoax was the ancestor of modern man, and that we evolved from clams, among many other absurdities.

Recommended reading. Ho' of Babylon, a nickname given to Helena Kobrin, a lawyer for the cult of Scientology who sent out threatening letters to numerous net. Ho means whore, prostitute. See Kobrigram. See Clam. The first six months is free; after that, it gets very expensive. To receive Scientological services, IAS membership is mandatory; even staff are required to pay up, thus sacrificing their entire meager salary for the fee, frequently.

See HASI. Illegal PC, a Preclear who cannot be audited by virtue of actually needing some kind of help. Auditing is only for the able, or people who don't need help, as per policy; it is for making the able more able, or bilking them for more money.

This paradox is explained by the fact that people who actually need help are harder to turn a profit on. Specifically, an Illegal PC is one who has had psychiatric treatments in the past, or appears to Scientologists like they have a streetperson or prostitute, for example and is deemed too damaged to touch, and a serious security risk to boot.

Implant, a hypnotic suggestion smashed into one's mind millions or billions of years ago in Hubbard's Space-Opera Scientology Cosmology. Incident One, 4 quadrillion years ago we were implanted with visions of cherubs blowing horns, chariots, and blackness. What's that you say? Don't let that stop you from believing, and anteing up the hundreds of thousands of dollars it takes to get to this level of brainwashing.

This plan involved making a very small Scientology dictionary and giving this out for free as an advertisement for a comprehensive Scientology Tech Dictionary. An Abridged Scientology Dictionary was issued in the late 60s probably from St.

Hill, and nothing much happened for a while. A Danish translation of this Abridged Scientology Dictionary was issued, probably under local initiative translating a dictionary to another language is a rather interesting feat!

One imagines the common occurrence in Scientology organisations: other important projects came up and people were moved to those projects and the dictionary project was more or less abandoned. One can guess that also another common Scientology organisation experience occurred: Ron discovered that his orders had not been carried out and ordered that it be done as fast as possible.

A Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary appeared in A sign that this dictionary was rather hurriedly put together is the fact that a rather thick booklet, an errata, was sold with the book. It was a stapled little booklet of about 40 pages and was liable to get separated from the book and lost.

Hubbard's orders for the compilation of Dictionaries were very strict. Only his words were to be used. Fundamentals Of Thought. Grammar and Communication for Children. Handbook For Group Auditing-Extract.

Handbook For Preclears. History Of Man. History Of Tegack. Hymn Of Asia. Introductory Processing. Master Glossary. Mission Into Time and pict. Money And Economics. Nep Gak Eos. Notes On The Lectures.
