ah sorry, i misread

Well, I’m not a Scientoligist. Scientology is a religion. Basic idea is to gradually work people away from their base fears and earliest traumatic experience (“Basic-Basic”) in order for the conscious mind to accept what has happened and move on. The Dogma of Scientology (big lizard Xenu etc) is like other creation myths – a grain of truth surrounded by an oyster of gooey fluff.

I HAVE studied Dianetics, the psycho therapy method devised by L Ron Hubbard. Guess what? It works. Slow, expansive, and prone to human error, but it’s just as valid a form of therapy as other techniques.

It is natural and very human to think the worst of things that you don’t really know about. Scientologists are not any more evil than say, Jehova’s Witnesses (and quite a few of them went to the gas chambers, along with homosexuals, gypsies, communists, as well as Jews).

Think Robin Hood – didn’t he have a record of taking money off rich people and redistributing it? Was that evil? Well, if you’re rich, of course it was.

The Church and the therapy type stuff is completely different, obviously there is some hook to get people joining ridiculously evil things.

Scientology says that you should ignore psychology and that mental illness does not exist, your mental issues are trapped pain from past lives. :crazy_diz

Psychology has a lot of holes in it. It’s not a formal science. It’s a study of how the mind works. In the “Great Divorce”, science took on psychology but decided that parapsychology “wasn’t scientific enough”. How’s that for bullshit?

I’m sure psychologists mean well. So did Hitler. So did everyone else with a marvellous model in their heads that turned out to be just the same old domination and supremacy game.

What a fucking crock of shit. Every sodding “holy man”, “scientist”, “magi”, “great leader”, all at each other’s throats. (I’m having a bad day in spite of the glorious sunshine).

You can see why I rather mess about with technology than people. At least with technology you can say to a certain extent HOW fucked up it is and estimate HOW much resources it will take to fix it. With people it’s just an endless scrolling list of “Help me, I can’t cope”.

Technology is good but i’ve never found a sexy computer who’ll cook food for me when i’m hungover and treat me like a God. yeh u cant bang a usb. also, ‘computer says no’ can be more irritating than people and if you throw a computer out the window u only feel guilt for lost money, but if its a person then you know you’ve made a difference

Psychology is OPINION about LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS. The real world isn’t a laboratory and some events are one offs.

Hmmm… some people think it’s perfectly “normal” to nail supposed Gods to trees. Or indeed nail themselves to trees to emulate them. Or in the case of self proclaimed Gods, set fire to them. Or stone them. Ritual strangulation happens sometimes.

Takes all kinds I guess.
