Intrepid 2: Scientology helps in problems of the conscience
September 28th 2007 02:43
Abuse and crime: Big Cat journeys from his "truth" closer to real truth. About bad conscience, learning from Scientology and (next) Christianity.
Operating a bit like an earlier version of John Saffron investigating cults, religion, etc, about 1990 I submitted to interview sessions at Scientology's Sydney Pitt Street headquarters.
My teenage son was already involved with Scientology, so I had additional incentive to find out about their doings.
Doings like sessions one-on-one where the Scientology person is monitoring your answers with a lie detector, connected like a clothes peg to your thumb the same way as a blood pressure indicator.
The aim was to find things in the brain called "engrams", being some kind of repository of negative energy caused by the negative decisions for which a person is responsible.
The lie detector had a screen with a seismic line that jumped on encountering any "engram" in any answer. All sorts of personal questions got asked. And answered. Ooops! Later I read somewhere that Scientology had a people file-sharing arrangement with the CIA.
In Scientology, I was interested if their "engrams" detector could spot anything that my conscience didn't already know. It didn't. I came to realise that lie detectors can't even expose things that a person has "buried", if the burying process desensitises the reactions in a person that the detector relies upon. But they are good for spotting where a person is in denial of the dictates of his/her conscience. In -other-words lying.
Lying is a sin. But, like psychiatrists, Scientologists prefer to stay off the subject of sin which is about abusing God. They are concerned with actions and speech that abuses others and, if laws of the land are involved, crime.
Next post in this series, Intrepid (3): Big Cats relates Scientology's engrams to early Christianity's "strongholds of the mind".

If you're going to tell a lie, you may as well make it a whopper.

Well, let me tell you - Big Cat don't want no demons entering him, nor Xenu! Mainly because neither has any humanity in them! Also, I did some checking.
About Xenu, source en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu:
Xenu (also Xemu), pronounced ['zi.nu:], according to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, was the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions[1] of his people to Earth in DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes and killed them using hydrogen bombs. Scientology holds that their essences remained, and that they form around people in modern times, causing them spiritual harm.
Maybe L Ron Hubbard got confused with demons - check out the similarity..
Source telus net /trbrooks/mystery:These demons or spirits [of the Bible] probably were a preadamic race who inhabited the former world. They either assisted Satan in rebellion or else they followed him afterwards. And thus they were destroyed by God by being disembodied. These beings have consequently become disembodied spirits. Though there is no plain evidence in the Scriptures, we can still find some hints in the Bible. For instance, in Matthew 12 there is the situation of such a spirit after it had left a human body: it “passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not” (12.43). It became helpless and, wandering far outside the human body, it could find no rest. Finally, it was compelled to re-enter the original place—the human body. If these beings are not in fact disembodied spirits, why must they enter a human body?
