Why I am glad Scientology doesn't work.
I used to think "too bad it doesn't work, things would be a lot better if it did work."
Now II have long since realized that it is a good thing that Scientology doesn't work.
And here is why:
Scientology purports to make beings more able to accomplish their goals.
It promises to make OTs who are at total cause.
It gives the those OTs "intention without reservation or limit."
It has an ethics system design to fulfill the goals and actions of those more able beings.
Okay. but there is no margin for goodness, kindness, love, humility, trust, compassion.
It sounds like Nietzsche's "Superman" and Will to Power, and Master/slave morality.
"Good" in Scientology is what furthers the pro-survival goals of an OT.
The greatest good is that which helps that OT in all his aspects in life.
"Good" in Scientology, is not defined by anything which relates to moral wholeness or human interaction.
"Good" in Scientology only relates to effectiveness at serving a purpose or goal.
I suppose one could argue then that Scientology does work to a degree; it does produce people with varying degrees of this--Miscavige, the guy in Denver who killed his accountant, Reed Slatkin, Narconon centers, et cetera.
But for the rest of us this won't work, it can't work, it mustn't work.
Civilization went through this before in the 1930s and 1940s, and it took almost the entirety of the rest of the world to fight it.
I guess that is why European countries are a little bit more sensitive to Scientology; they saw a similar idea gradually grow among them until it nearly took over them all.
If you think comparing Scientology to fascism or the Nazi is too much, then just compare Scientology to Scientology itself.
It ain't Disneyland.
