A Brief Layout Of Scientology

I will share some more posts that I feel ultimately lay out how Scientology is what it is and why it does what it does .

It starts with Ron Hubbard and his mind itself . If you understand his mental condition that is a great way in my opinion to see on the micro what Scientology is on the macro.

Next I think laying out some of his efforts and methods is important - as in what he did AND what he was trying to do. For brevity I will list some posts on hypnosis and mind control then some on rhetoric itself.

Next I will put up some posts on rhetoric and influence including loaded language which Hubbard used perhaps more than any other thought reformer.

Now two links with relevant info on how he enacts thought reform and what it is.

Now hopefully that fills in a lot of the blanks. It doesn't cover where Hubbard stole all the ideas he plagiarized or what they were originally used for. Nor every detail of Scientology like the E-meter and the mind of David Miscavige.

Nor every aspect of how being a Scientologist affects Hubbard's many victims but it is hopefully a start.
