(to no one in particular)
So, let me see if I've got this straight.
On OT III Ron teaches that people living on other planets in outer space are killed and brought to Earth.
But Ron never said anything about dead space aliens.
Sure. I can see the difference.






L. Ron Hubbard, on "inventing facts," from an April 1955 'HCOB':
"A datum is an invention which has become agreed upon and solidified... When it is thoroughly agreed upon it becomes, then, a truth.
"The word 'lie' is simply 'an invention with a bad connotation'... Thus society frowns upon the invention of facts."
Another notable quote, this from the cocaine-inspired loose-lipped 'PDC' lectures,
"It's a trap not being able to prevaricate."
And then there's the old reliable,
'TR-L', the Training Routine for Lying.
And, of course, there's the first half of the Fair Game Law,
"Trick and lie to."
These things are as much a part of subject as the "auditing comm cycle," "ARC," and discharging tension by finding "earlier similars" (wording is Korzybski's), and these ingredients, along with others, combine - per the founder's design - to making Scientology.
In Scientology, lying is only supposed to flow downward, with Hubbard, and his senior representatives - inside or outside the CofS - free to lie to other Scientologists, while Scientologists are expected to open their minds completely to inspection by those above them.
It shouldn't be surprising that a 'Good Scientologist' is willing to lie to those he sees as below him: the "SPs," "DBs," "Homo Saps," and "Wogs," and also less "aware" fellow Scientologists.
It's quite a system: an "applied philosophy" that make liars out of good people - lying to others, and also lying to themselves.
And when the process is complete, sadly, there's usually no way to explain it to them.
