Scientology is like the Matrix

So here’s a new video which starts by saying no one will tell you what Scientology really is.  ”Buy a book,” is the standard response.  But this videomaker says, “Don’t bother with a book –rent a movie.”

Scientology is just like The Matrix, this video argues.  It will awaken us from our delusions so we can clear the planet and control MEST — just like Keannu Reeves.

Here’s the major connection I see to the Matrix.  The longer you stay in, the more it sucks.  So Scientology is really more like The Matrix 2 and 3.

    The Matrix is one of the best parallels to scientology i have heard.
    Unfortunately as with most Scientology BS your video is 180 degrees out, we are born ‘free’ of the matrix and become part of a L RH matrix on joining Scientology.
    As common in occult activaties the truth is perverted in scientology, fair game, harrassment etc.
    Try reading Jon atack’s ” A Piece of Blue Sky” or just his paper “Hubbard and the Occult” and when you get it you to may want to disconnect from the LRH matrix

    Red pill Blue pill, which one is Niacin?
    Always thought Scientology only started pushing pills and encouraged ‘substance abuse’ when you were ‘on board’,is this a part of their new recruitment drive to start pushing before you are ‘part of the family’
    Don’t do recreational drugs myself,

    Epic! And David Miscarriage is the architect. Are you the Oracle in male incarnation WBM? :)

    But surely that message, that there is a ‘higher reality’, is one that most religions offer. They differ only in how they sell the concept.
    In Christianity, there is redemption and salvation. It is not necessary to study boring books or to do anything difficult, just accept Jesus into your life and you will be Saved.
    In Scientology if you don’t succeed in escaping MEST in this life, you can try again in your next. Sure, I know the cult keeps screaming GIVE MORE MONEY NOW!!! at its slaves, but in the back of their minds they know that they have eternity to get it right. Why do you think the disaffected don’t rise up against DM? They are waiting for him to drop his body.
    In the Matrix, you take a pill.
    In the Trueman show, you find the edge of the world and open the door.

    Yes all these methods are claimed to be difficult by their advocates, but that is IMO just to reassure those punters who worry about “no pain, no gain”. To me they all offer excuses, ways of rejecting the real MEST universe and its hard ethical dilemmas.

  8. Son of Xenu says:

    Let’s help all Scilons to drag their asses out of this MEST universe and make it a better place!

  9. AnonTsu says:

    At first I was just laughing but this actually kind of fits. Scientology seems like a cult set up for the sort of people who take The Matrix seriously.

  10. Hi Mark

    I think you’re doing a terrific job with this website, my friend. It’s a gold-mine of useful information that I for one really appreciate. I’m a former Scientologist, was in the Sea Org for 8 years, left with my wife and kids in 1981.

    I think the most important point I can make right now is that people should be very careful not to under-estimate Scientology. Guys like Anonymous who dismiss it as a complete scam are entirely mistaken. Scientology contains some of the most sophisticated psychotherapy and administrative and ethical technology that has ever existed. Scientologists who spend tremendous amounts of time and money on it are not complete fools, believe me; it has life-enhancing potential, if you open yourself up to it. Those who dismiss Ron Hubbard as a con-man are missing the point. Unfortunately, like any genius, he had personality flaws which allowed him to place the management of the organisation into the wrong hands – and that is what we are witnessing just now.

    The analogy with the Matrix is actually very valid – Scientology does indeed help you to see outside the matrix.

    Keep up the good work, mate!

    Warmest regards,

    It’s a pretty hastily put together “hogwash” called “Sell FEAR”. Funny how they can’t spell suppressives, beginning, or advancement. Lies usually have mis-prints.

    I’ll take my red pill called “my truth” and keep my money.

    P.S. Wonder if those locked “the hole” still believe this ?

  12. cwhale says:

    Hmmm…correct me if I’m wrong but “The Matrix” and the sequels were, are and will always be….MOVIES!

    They are planned, produced and distributed to make money. They provide entertainment, a distraction, nothing more. If a person confuses fantasy with reality they are a perfect candidate for cultish propaganda.

    Scientology, like the movie buisness, is a profit-making enterprise – always has been and always will be. To explore your thoughts and the thoughts of others and then decide to act or not act upon them is FREE!

    Thinking is FREE!

    Acting on your thoughts is FREE!

    If anyone tells you you must pay to be free they want your money, period.

  13. XSO says:

    Well – after 57 years, show us ONE FREE BEING. One OT.

    There is none. And there is no cake.

  14. Elron Hokum says:

    Well, someone hit a nerve.

    The account is closed, and the video is gone. Let’s hope a little “entheta” was enough to wake her up and blow this life-draining scam.

    I’ve never been to auditing, but I’ve had plenty of time to scour the “tech”. There are indeed, good parts in there. And at least the early parts are potentially life-enhancing.

    I agree that dismissing Hubbard as nothing more than a con-man is a mistake.

    But to dismiss the current mess that Scientology is in as somehow totally David Miscavige’s fault is also a mistake, Big Time. LRH *was* a con-man. LRH *did* invent “Fair Game”. LRH *lied* about his past. LRH *was* the architecht of an “Ethics” system that was much more about enforcing loyalty than it ever was about making people ethical.

    DM is a psychotic dwarf. But you have to remember that DM is a *product* of LRH’s “tech”. Look at any of the videos of OT Scientologists acting like psychotic assholes towards protestors-are they all defective in exactly the same manner because of their personality-or were they trained to be like that?

  16. cwhale says:

    Some of what you say has credibility but remember, any “good” that comes out of Scientology is so far outweighed by the bad that its’ positive effects are negated.

    Keep in mind that at every level of the cult you are mandated to pay, not just financially but physically (purification rundown) and emotionally (ethics and “sec” checks) – just to name two of the many controlling features of Scientology.

    I am aware that their communication courses have been given positive reviews by former members as well as a few, a very few, other “helpful” courses. Yet very similar information can be easily obtained at local libraries or within non-cult education classes that charge far less and do not come with all the other pitfalls of Scientology.

    Undoubtedly, Hubbard wrote some lucid comments regarding society and how one can better themselves within it, however, even a cursory examination of his life shows a man fixated on money and control to the point where extreme paranoia and a persecution complex set in. To this day his “church” is infected with these and other mental disturbances, manifested in, amongst others, his self-proclaimed successor Miscavige.

    I pulled my children from Applied Scholastics Academy. The director and staff at APA (Delphi) were horrible to us when we ‘confronted’ them with the truth that they actually did not ‘deliver’ the product sold to us during the initial interview to enroll. I was naive and vulnerable when (we) started with APA. I studied at the church for several years; motivated to learn and understand the philosophy used on my children. I am forever changed, I understand their game, and absoluetly less vulnerable today. It’s been an amazing, eye-opening, shocking journey. Scientologists can be dangerous and many are clearly supressed themselves. Their childish game of ‘disconnection’ and labeling the other ‘suppressed’ is playground behavior — but dangerous and destructive. Robin said above, “don’t under-estimate scientologists …” BUT, what can be done, for example, with this fraudulent school? Any suggestions?
