i always admire self-made people. the guy had a charismatic and polarizing personality. the guy who took over, mccavich or whatever his name is, he seemed like a salesman but L Ron Hubbard .... that dude just seemed different. he certainly had psychological problems - habitual liar, grandiose self beliefs, neurosis, paranora.
scientology seems like manipulated psycho analysis. after a well crafted therapy session, most people would feel a sense of euphoria or clarity.
scientology just seems like a well designed money making scheme to provide people with psychiatrist sessions. like pre-determined meditation.
somehow this guy with grandiose hallucinations was able to convince generations of people to believe in his fairy tale.
people want to belong to something.
people want to believe that there is something more to this life than spending it sitting in a car alone on a highway surrounded by other people sitting 5 feet away who are also alone in their own little box of plastic and rubber.
people like L Ron Hubbard interest me. they are the nail that chooses to stand up while the rest of us take our daily beatings from society without us even recognizing the beating we take.
it all comes down to YOLO! have that food fight at your next thanksgiving. get drunk on a tuesday. sit down next to a homeless person. go visit your parents or grandparents grave. get lost in the woods. make a fake "missing" poster of your remote control.
whatever you do, own it, love it .. bc this is our one chance at life. we dont get another 3/31/2015.
sadly i will spend my 3/31/15 evening drinking a beer, eating a slice of pizza and perhaps playing a game of madden.
