I don't agree with some of the people here that, when someone comes looking for clarity about what they have gone through in scientology and yet want to continue with the teachings without the abuses they have experienced in scientology, they will point toward some other version of scientology, attempting to grant the seeker the right to choose for themselves.Back when I was a Scientologist, had I read this (your words above I quoted) and it had been written by another member I'd of written a KR on you, quoting LRH, showing that you are at best a big PTS, and in need of a Severe Reality Adjustment.
Your attitude here is not at all one of a Scientologist, it violates the essence of so many basic Scientology policies, including key ones like KSW.
In my view, anyone who has no problem with other paths or agrees with almost all criticism of Scn and CO$ isn't even a Scientologist.
I believe that anyone that has gone through scientology deserves the right to know that scientology creates a world view that is false. They deserve to know that what they have experienced during any process has been miss defined intentionally by hubbard. They deserve to know that the virtues that hubbard expounded upon were used to mislead. They deserve to know that all the facts they learned about the world, about mankind, about the mind, about the spirit were lies. They deserve to know that the world they view is not real and I believe they have the right to un-finding that world.
Because a person has any experience, mind, spirit, body does not make them aware of an avenue to that experience for others. To many people believe they can teach others to have their own experiences without understanding that all experiences are only their own. Couple that with a scientology world view and you end up with people teaching scientology with the surety they are correct.
You can never take the bad out of scientology because scientology, unlike contemplation or meditation or concentration practices, which are practiced upon yourself, scientology is practiced upon others and every end phenomenon has already be defined.
Consider all that is possible with the mind. All you can imagine, all that you can come to believe, all you can make your body feel or not feel. scientology uses all of that and more to convince a person of false views, beliefs, inner worlds even past lives.
People have the right to understand that scientology has mislead them to fake worlds.
