Mockingbird's Nest: Scientology Conditions - Their Purpose and Practice (1) an Introduction

Scientology Conditions - Their Purpose and Practice

Young Ronald Hubbard

Back in 2016, I wrote a post describing how a Scientology operative attempted to upset an ex Scientologist (Lori Hodgson) and quoted another ex Scientologist (Vistaril) who pointed out the Hubbard references on this. I realized the same exact technique was used on myself.

I recently reflected on the techniques used in Scientology and the fact that many, possibly most, are hypnotic in origin and nature.

I believe that if I look at the way Hubbard described brainwashing and hypnosis and the lower ethics conditions in Scientology a very different view of the ethics conditions, their purpose and results may come to light.

Many people have said the ethics conditions are meant as a system of control, or a way to get one to abandon their own ethics and submit to the authority of Scientology and this is certainly true enough but I believe I have uncovered more evidence that this is true and how it was intended to be accomplished than has been revealed before.

I have broken up the original very long blog post on this topic to make it more manageable as a series of short posts. This is the first in the series of short posts to address this.

Note: here is a link to my blog archive by topic which has almost all my older posts at the blog sorted into categories for your convenience.

I am going to include links to several articles at Mockingbird's Nest blog on Scientology that have either been quoted in this post, or that expand on the topics introduced here.
