RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER

Merchants of Chaos

For reasons that I won’t get into here, I recently came into possession of 2 books by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. I opened one of the books to a random page. I soon realized that the page wasn’t random at all, but instead a thick perforated insert like you’d find in a magazine. The insert read:

YES! Please send me a copy of What is Scientology?
Hardback $90 (includes shipping and handling)
Paperback $24.95 (includes shipping and handling)

But then I noticed the next page, (pg. 85) Chapter 11, The Anatomy of Failure. This is the opening passage of that chapter:

Two things are of paramount importance in Scientology. They are WIN and LOSE.

A person can be stuck in either wins or loses. (sic) This might come as a surprise that a person could be stick in a win, but the facts of a case are that a person is stuck in any reversal between intention or expectance. One knows of the man who lives forever after his having won the race and one knows as well the man who lives forever after the failure of his business…

Moving backward to Chapter 2 or The True Story of Scientology, let us read. (It helps to read this out loud. Please read this out loud.)

The true story of Scientology is simple, concise and direct. It is quickly told.

1. A philosopher develops a philosophy about life and death.
2. People find it interesting
3. People find it works.
4. People pass it along to others.
5. It grows.

When we examine this extremely accurate and very brief account, we see that there must be in our civilization some very disturbing elements for anything else to be believed about Scientology.

These disturbing elements are the Merchants of Chaos. They deal in confusion and upset. Their daily bread is made by creating chaos. If chaos were to lessen, so would their incomes…

And that’s all the time we have time for today. If interested in reading further, send $25-90 to:
