Hubbard 'dabbled" in OTO?
definition of dabbled:
dab·ble[/h] verb \ˈda-bəl\ : to take part in an activity in a way that is not serious
Here is what Hubbard "dabbled" in: OTO -
O.T.O
The letters O.T.O. stand for Ordo Templi Orientis, or Order of the Temple of the East. The O.T.O. is a Thelemic Order which is dedicated to the enlightenment of the person involved. They try to achieve a higher spiritual existence. Its the new age concept and the participants follow Aleister Crowley's satanic beliefs.
They follow the book of the law that was supposedly received by the demon possessed Crowley and the main theme is "Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law"
O.T.O. is a California charitable corporation and a federally recognized tax-exempt religious organization.
The structure of the O.T.O., is like Freemasonry , and is based on a staged series of initiations or degrees, most of which are conferred ceremonially.
Every man and woman 18 0r older, free, and of good report, can achieve the first three Degrees of O.T.O. These degrees follow those of masonry. Its no surprise as Crowley was a mason.
It is basically a group of Satan worshipers dedicated to the advancement of their own agenda.
L Ron Hubbard answered an ad in a newspaper and moved in to a "Aleistar Crowley" practicing flop house with Jack Parson's and tried to spawn a demon child.
Can you explain the Scientology cross and its resemblence to the Rosy Cross - the cross of OTO and Thelema?
Why did Hubbard tell his members that "symbols" are low toned?
So members don't look at them or think about them! I did a survey and interviewed 20-30 year old Scientology veterans. NONE of them could draw the Scientology cross. I asked them why they did not know what it looked like. They said "it was not important to them and that Hubbard said not to pay attention to symbols!

Scientology Cross[/h]
The Cross of Scientology is the primary emblem of the Church of Scientology. Designed by founder L. Ron Hubbard, its appearance gives away its origins, with its obvious resemblance to the Golden Dawn’s Rose Cross. Hubbard was, as a one time occultist, undoubtedly familiar with Golden Dawn symbolism. Hubbard most likely encountered the emblem under the tutelage of Jack parsons, a devotee of Aleister Crowley, with whom Hubbard conducted magical operations.
In any case, neither the Golden Dawn nor the Scientology symbol can be considered “satanic” as is sometimes reported.
The Scientology cross has four arms and four rays emanating at their intersection; these represent, according to the official explanation the “eight dynamics” or “parts of life” in Scientology’s basic theology:
1) The Self
2) Creativity, sex, and procreation (family)
3) Group, society, community
4) Species survival (humankind)
5) Life forms in general
6) Matter
7) Spirit
8) Infinity or Supreme being
The horizontal beam of the symbol represents material existence, the vertical represents the spirit, a concept directly borrowed from Rosicrucian symbolism.

Aleistar Crowley's book -
The Book of the Law - ""Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law", and that people should learn to live in tune with their "
True Will". This book, and the philosophy that it espoused, became the cornerstone of Crowley's religion,
Thelema.
