Sex and Pain
Question answered by honorarykid in Scientology
Anonymous asked this question on 10/8/2000:
Did Hubbard really say that sex and pain were created by
psychiatrists? Really?
If so, just who populated the universe before sex?
Where did the psychiatrists come from?

Hubbard spewed out tons of lies and crap during his career
as a demi-God, and much of that while high on drugs. As his
lies became pervasive, they trapped him, in a sense. He had
believers, and he was reluctant to admit to them that he
had made huge major mistakes. I believe that's how his
upper level space opera stuff became the material of
Scientology cosmology.
One area in which his bizarre dogma was fairly constant was
in his hated of psychiatrists. Maybe deep down, he feared
that he needed the help of one.
But if you read all of his writings, you'll find thousands of
bizarre, made-up claims. You'll find tons of self-contradictory
things, attempts by him to pound his square peg view of the
cosmos into the round hole created by the state of scientific
literature.
What Hubbard really wanted was power over people. He
wanted to be adored, perhaps even to be worshipped, even
to be God. He essentially wanted to supplant people's
devotion and loyalty they have for their families, with total
devotion to himself. That's why, within Scientology, family
bonds are quite secondary to the bond with the "higher"
third dynamic (one's group). And that's why the most
zealous Scientologists tend to have very poor familial
relationships.
