@chantalbernard The FBI saw him as a nut early on, Australia saw Scientology as "evil" in 1965, Britain threw him out in the 1960s, only the IRS wanted him and that was for dodged taxes. Let's face it; either Hubbard was going to wind up a crazy guru or he was going to wind up on public assistence.
It appears to be inate of the Human condition, a requirement for a story (Myth) in order to dictate behavior (Ethos) While they funtion they connect Man to the mysterious cosmic order (Religio) and every 1000 years or so a new one replaces the old.
LRH anticipated and exploited this, and brilliantly cooked up a whopper.
If you really want to get "clear" read Joseph Campbell or Carl Jung and find out why the Human psyche needs these stories.
XD It's not a part of the human nature. You are making this too speculative and theoretical. Study neurology, theres a certain part of brain that rules peoples religious/spiritual/superstitious/OCD beliefs.
Every year we celebrate his grizzly death. We bought Battlefield Earth and a copy of Dianetics every year and we burned it in ceremony while celebrating his death. The death of a madman.
operation gold mine? and the followers didnt think twice about this dude being a fraud?

Nice symbolism--but you're still putting money into Scientology's pockets by purchasing multiple copies of that movie and that book.
