Reply #84: Hubbard [View All]

[PATRICK]

supposedly was an Intel op stationed in Asia. In his spare time(?) he probably developed this amalgam of modern science and neutral eastern mind/soul development which is more method(a la American self improvement success fads). Fake Buddhism with psychobabble.

Not surprisingly those elements which would likely lead to an enlightened
liberating and open minded approach were blended into a strongly reinforced cult system of elitist mind control, secret society style, Freemason-like power, money empire shielded from taxes and control, social invasiveness one would expect of a CIA guy. One who never really believes the stuff he dishes out for ulterior motives.

The science fiction establishment(Hubbard rode in on the Golden Age) was dismayed by this crossing the line to twist the line into something far worse than charlatanism, something worse than the futuristic religions speculated on in books like "Dune".
