The Hidden Secrets of the Scientology Cult

Question answered by escapee in Scientology

FredricRice asked this question on 7/25/2000:

Again this question is more for Scientologists still stuck inside of the cult, however I'd like to web everyone's answers.

I'm curious why Scientology's management doesn't tell people about Xenu and Body Thetans ad everything else that forms the core of Scientology. I'm curious why the truth about what Scientology actually is all about had to wait for the court system to make public.

Thanks!

Xenu and Body Thetans are not the core of Scientology. It is only one small part of the technology. Man as a composite being is certainly something that is well promoted. Exactly what that composite consists of has to do with the awareness level of the person. At OT VIII and above the awareness of the composite might not have anything to do with Xenu or body thetans...it might very well be thought forms. To new people, the very idea of body thetans would be unreal and probably unacceptable, except for a few who have studied semi-related spiritual practices, could turn them off to Scientology if they thought that was what it was about, and thus miss the opportunity of raising awareness.

The above is the truth. Added to that there are considerations that harm could come to those reading the materials of OT III if they able to be aware of the composite and did not have the tools with which to handle the new-found reality. Then, of course, there is the matter of survival for the C.O.S. The secrecy and mystery surrounding the materials certainly keeps those in the Church on lines. Motives? To make a better game (all fun games have a touch of secrecy-even football) and, of course, to keep the finances rolling in.:)
