I'm reading a book by L. Ron Hubbard, called A History of Man.
The foreword of the book starts out with: "This is a cold-blooded and factual account of your last sixty trillion years". He then goes on to say "This is usefull knowlege. With it the blind see again, the lame walk, the ill recover, the insane become sane and the sane become saner".
So what is this usefull knowledge? Among many other gems, check out this excerpt from Chapter 8:
"At death the theta being leaves the body and goes to the between-lives area. Here he "reports in", is given a strong forgetter implant and is then shot down to a body just before it is born. At least this is the way the old invader in the Earth area was operating." ... "The report area for most has been Mars. Some women report to stations elsewhere in the solar system. There are occasional incidents about Earth report stations. The report stations are protected by screens. The last Martian report station on Earth was established in the Pyrenees."
This book also contains the reason that some critics of Scientology have been known to refer to Scientologists as Clams. In chapter 4, Hubbard writes:
"As soon as the hinges are formed in a clam, we have our first efforts to be completely contrary and internaly at war. The solution occurs when one hinge goes into apathy and the other assumes complete control.The hinge epicentres later becomes the hinges of the human jaw. Should you desire to confim this, describe to some uninitiated person the death of a clam without saying what you are describing. 'Can you imagine a clam sitting on a beach, opening and closing it shell very rapidly?' (Make a motion with your thumb and forfinger of rapid opening and closing). The victim may grip his jaws with his hand and feel quite upset. He may even have to have a few teeth pulled."
He also writes:
"By the way, if you cannot take a warning, your discussion of these incidents with the uninitiated in Scientology can produce havoc. Should you discuss 'the clam' to someone, you may restimulate it in him to the extent of causing severe jaw hinge pain. One such victim, after hearing about a clam death could not use his jaws for three days. Another had to have two molars extracted because of the resulting ache. The clam and all these incidents are very much present in the GE and can be restimulated easily. So do not be sadistic with your describing them to people - unless of course they belligerantly claim that man has no past memory for his evolution. In that event, describe away."
Yes folks, people actually believe this crap!
