How did people such as Van Morrison and Leonard Cohen - for a time - find Scn interesting?, and receive its auditing with results that pleased them?
Where they just deluded?
In Morrison's 1983 album Inarticulate Speech of the Heart, he gave Hubbard special thanks in the liner notes. According to Steve Turner, who wrote the biography Van Morrison: Too Late to Stop Now, an auditor said Morrison only had a basic involvement with Scientology. But the "Brown Eyed Girl" songwriter denied allegations of his religious affiliations – from Scientology to the Jehovah’s Witnesses – by saying, "There have been many lies put out about me and this finally states my position. I have never joined any organization, nor plan to."

The celeb experience has no ruin, no book sales, none of the methods used on us regular folks. It's about having a good match to meet you when you walk in, and hugs. And some "I really like what's going on here, so I wanted to meet you here, and tell you myself ... you should come back and check it out! I'm here quite a bit! Want to meet up when you come back?"
I ask that same question, particularly after I have read an asinine post. This is a really swell post, not remotely asinine.

Skeptics or Smerfs, pictured above, may cry for documentation, when confronted with actual religion. The Scientology Phoney Religion Cult just sells them a Piece of Blue Sky or a Bridge to No Where.
There's a possible explanation for why some like organized religion & some follow the Cult of Scamertology.
Why does anyone find organized religion, in general, interesting given the volumes of documentation showing these churches/sects to be guilt & shame-based with an emphasis on blind obedience.
Scientology is interesting and many still take it's courses.. many, eventually, sour to being caught up in it & leave, but at least are happy they checked it out for themselves.
Maybe now, but back in the late 60's it wasn't presented that way. It was sort of a cool thing to do to become spiritually aware. If you look at Cohen and the incredible string band for instance, there is a lot of spirituality in their poetry and songs. I think NYO was delivering power to them, ( the rest (non-staff) would have to go to Saint Hill) and most likely it was quickie power ( to f/n, not the actual EP per the original HCOBs ) which would be a big reason why Leonard decamped after getting it. Mine was quickied and it was a let down.Why does anyone find organized religion, in general, interesting given the volumes of documentation showing these churches/sects to be guilt & shame-based with an emphasis on blind obedience.

Organized religion?
When Leonard Cohen and Van Morrison became involved with Scientology - as pampered celebrities receiving services - it was likely presented to them as self betterment and applied wisdom. That's likely how they experienced it. In fact, that's how most of us thought of it.

Let's not argue about Scientology's fraudulent religious cloaking. That would be derail.
