The Mind Benders.Pdf The Mind Benders Scientology by Cyril Vosper THE BOOK THEY TRIED TO BAN A fast, furious, funny, violent exposure of a major global cult "Indicates quackery of a type which might be dangerous behind closed doors ..." HIS LORDSHIP, THE MASTER OF THE ROLLS "... capable of such danger that the public interest demands that people should know what is going on" LORD DENNING INDEX Frontispiece: Declaration of an Enemy Prologue 1. Why Scientology? 2. Assumptions 3. The Thetan 4. The Mind 5. Past Lives 6. Auditing 7. Training 8. Clear 9. Operating Thetan 10. Ethics 11. Promotion 12. The Organisations of Scientology Epilogue Appendix Acknowledgements Plates (from the 1971 Neville Spearman edition, SBN 85435 061 6) The author's experience of Scientology stretches over a period of 14 years from when it was a little known and interesting form of psychotherapy, to September 1968 when he was declared an S.P. (Suppressive Person). This meant that he was considered 'Fair Game'. As Sir Elwyn Jones Q.C. said in the recent Scientology libel case, S.Ps. 'could be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist. He could be tricked, sued or lied to, or destroyed.' The direct cause of this action was the breakdown of the author's marriage and separation of his children. Mr. Vosper, who was a senior official at the Scientology H.Q. at Saint Hill, East Grinstead, Sussex, believes that it is time for a close and accurate inspection of Scientology so that people know the full facts before they consider joining it. This is less a book than a stick of dynamite. Never before has there been an inside report on Scientology. The public have, so far, only vague newspaper reports and rumours to put against the sophisticated propaganda of the Scientologists. In Scientology, sometimes conveniently referred to as the Church of Scientology, the former science-fiction writer, L. Ron Hubbard has constructed a world-wide network of organisations in such a manner as '... to pull the society under us'. Meaning that his long-term goal is for the entirety of the human race to be controlled, albeit benevolently, by him and his followers. Unlike other fads and eccentricities of the past, Scientology is not a purely comic subject that appeals to those who need some sort of belief. It is far more comprehensive and frequently harmful. First published in Great Britain by Neville Spearman Limited 112 Whitfield Street, London, W1P 6DP © Cyril Vosper 1971 SBN 85435 061 6 Set in 11pt Pilgrim 2pt leaded and printed by the Northumberland Press Ltd., Gateshead, Durham. Bound by W & H Rawlinson, London. (from the 1973 Mayflower edition, SBN 583 12249 3) After 14 years and a senior officer posting in the Church of Scientology Cyril Vosper investigates and condemns SCIENTOLOGY was founded by former science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. It has grown into an international cult whose network of cells is devoted to 'pulling the society under us'. At the end of the Sixties, Cyril Vosper was declared a SUPPRESSIVE PERSON to his fellow Scientologists, whereby he could be 'deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist - tricked, sued or lied to, or destroyed'. Finally he was declared in a condition of ENEMY. His marriage broke down and he was separated from his children. Vosper has struck back with this book. It immediately became subject to a writ from the Scientologists seeking to restrain its publication. After a bitter court action, the Scientologists have lost their case. ILLUSTRATED Cyril Vosper joined the Church of Scientology when it was still an eccentric, little-known form of psychotherapy in the mid-1950's. In later years he became a senior official at Scientology's British H.Q. in Saint Hill, East Grinstead, Sussex. All other biographical details of interest are in the author's work itself; in part a confession, in the main an individual's self-affirming act of resistance. Researched to the last chilling detail, clinically authentic yet often ablaze with riotous observations on a world gone mad, the book you have in your hands is now "clear". Following the unsuccessful litigation against it, The Mind Benders invites you to participate in a (legally) mind-bending paperback experience.

SUBJECT: Declaration of Enemy. 2nd September, 1968 Recommendation of Comm Ev convened on EO 727 WW 1. CYRIL VOSPER, 8 Newlands Crescent, East Grinstead, is declared in a Condition of ENEMY. 2. He put stops in the way of mounting a Guardian Mission. By his own admission before a Committee of Evidence he was guilty of failing to immediately produce plans, and of failure to pass completed orders to Exec Council and Alert Council members before copying or duplicating, thus permitting a mission to depart with incomplete orders and causing Dev-T to seniors and Mission Efficiency Experts. 3. He put stops on mission training of WW personnel by failing to take responsibility for his post of Dissem Sec WW in that he a. Failed to assign a deputy for his week end Foundation post or make arrangements so that he would be free to take the training he needed to become efficient in getting out missions. By failing to be part of the WW training team he also effectively stopped remaining WW staff from carrying out dummy missions and the resulting situation had to be handled by a Sea Org member. b. Failed to take responsibility to see that an Efficiency Expert was trained for the Guardian Mission, sending the Expert home to "study in leisure". 4. Vosper is to apply the Enemy formula which is: "Find out who you really are". 5. He is not to be processed or trained. 6. Anyone connected to him is not to be processed or trained until he or she has disconnected from him in writing. Ken Urquhart, HCO EXEC SEC WW, [signed] Convening Authority. [seal] Prologue God! Was I tired! I'd been working for eleven solid, ghastly days. And not just days; eleven nights too. With maybe two hours' sleep on a hard floor in Saint Hill every twenty-four hours. I hadn't had a bath or a square meal in all that time either. I felt like death. It was Saturday, 30th, August, 1968. August Bank Holiday. I had two jobs at Saint Hill - Dissemination Secretary, World Wide and Dissemination Secretary, Evening and Weekend Foundation. For all the big titles, I still felt like death. An Open Weekend was going on at Saint Hill over the holiday and I conned my way into getting home because I was beginning to look and act like a zombie. It's not at all good for Scientology's public image for visitors, newcomers and newspaper reporters to see a zombie walking about the place. Why had I been there for 264 hours non-stop? Because on one or other of my jobs I had been in a Condition of Liability and under the justice system of Scientology, when you are in a Condition of Liability, you just stay there and work your way out of it.

    BOOK 4.book Page 1 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM SCIENTOLOGY Making the World a Better Place Founded and developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is an applied religious philosophy which offers an exact route through which anyone can regain the truth and simplicity of his spiritual self. Scientology consists of specific axioms that define the underlying causes and principles of existence and a vast area of observations in the humanities, a philosophic body that literally applies to the entirety of life. This broad body of knowledge resulted in two applications of the subject: first, a technology for man to increase his spiritual awareness and attain the freedom sought by many great philosophic teachings; and, second, a great number of fundamental principles men can use to improve their lives. In fact, in this second application, Scientology offers nothing less than practical methods to better every aspect of our existence—means to create new ways of life. And from this comes the subject matter you are about to read. Compiled from the writings of L. Ron Hubbard, the data presented here is but one of the tools which can be found in The Scientology Handbook. A comprehensive guide, the handbook contains numerous applications of Scientology which can be used to improve many other areas of life. In this booklet, the editors have augmented the data with a short introduction, practical exercises and examples of successful application. Courses to increase your understanding and further materials to broaden your knowledge are available at your nearest Scientology church or mission, listed at the back of this booklet.

Uncovering the Anti-Queer Sentiment in the Dianetic Perspective At present, there is a groundswell of public sensational interest in the subject of Scientology; and, in fact, in the time since I began this research paper, a nine-episode documentary series has premiered and reached finale on A&E titled “Scientology and the Aftermath”— a personal project hosted by sitcom celebrity, ex-Scientologist, and author of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, Leah Remini.1 I could not begin to enumerate the myriad exposés/memoirs of ex-Scientologists that have been published in recent years nor could I emphasize enough the rampant conspiracy theories that are at the disposal of any curious mind on what many have termed “the cult” of Scientology.

  • Scientology Final
    Shelby Gluskin Ms. Plummer English 211 24 April 2018 Scientology’s Life Span Scientology is constantly being questioned on its legitimacy as a religion and on the almost secretive way in which the church conducts its business. Most people who give Scientology only a cursory glance do not believe that it meets the criteria to both identify and sustain itself as a mainstream religion; however, there is plenty of evidence to dispute this finding. As the Merriam Webster Dictionary defines religion as “the belief in god or a group of gods: an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies and rules used to worship a god or group of gods”, it is hard to dispute that Scientology is in fact a religion (Religion). Scientology is ​ ​ described as the religion of seeking spiritual fulfillment through study (What Is Scientology). As the influence of religion declines in society and fewer people identify themselves as being observant, this church continues to hold and attract members. Scientology is able to maintain its status as a viable and even thriving religion through the covert actions of the Church, excessive funding, and an abundant amount of celebrity endorsement. With the ability to keep negative and threatening secrets out of the view of the public’s eye, Scientology can maintain its carefully cultivated image. The Church of Scientology is able to keep its actions under the radar through intimidation of both members and critics of the organization. The Church is known to go to great lengths to protect the sanctity of the institution, in fact, in the early 1980’s eleven Scientologists were convicted of infiltrating more than one-hundred agencies, government and private (Behar 50).

Who is Behind it? The Israeli Center for Victims of Cults (ICVC) is well-known in Israel for its activities against a number of religious and spiritual movements that are depicted as harmful and dangerous. Over the years, the ICVC has managed to garner easy access to the media and Israeli government due to its moral panic narratives and campaign for an anti-cult law. It is therefore not surprising that the ICVC has also emerged in Europe, in particular, on the website of FECRIS (European Federation of Centers of Research and Information on Cults and Sects), as its Israel correspondent.1 For many years, FECRIS has been heavily criticized by international human rights organizations for fomenting social hostility and hate speech towards non-mainstream religions and worldviews, usually of foreign origin, and for stigmatizing members of these groups.2 Religious studies scholars and the scientific establishment in general have also denounced FECRIS for the lack of expertise of their so-called “cult experts”.

INTRODUCTION What is the definition of a religion? Even recognized (not all political structures recog- nize religions) and traditional, established religions often question their origin in an effort to prove they are actually the only true religion. Anyone who says, “My master is the great- est incarnation of God, or the only enlightened master,” is unquestionably ignorant. The yardstick of judging fully enlightened spiritual leaders is possessed only by fully enlightened disciples. An enlightened disciple is completely loyal to his master, the teacher or guru who showed him the way of enlightenment, but he always respects other avatars and masters.1 “So many different definitions [of religion] have been framed in the West over the years that even a partial listing would be impractical,” states the Encyclopedia of Religion (Mircea Eliade, Macmillan, London/New York: 1986, p. 283). I must therefore be content with some of the characteristics of religious experience and the knowledge that religions have a deep cultural and social basis.

  • New Religious Movements
    New Religious Movements New Religious Movements: Challenge and response is a searching and wide-ranging collection of essays on the contemporary phenomenon of new religions. The contributors to this volume are all established specialists in the sociology, theology, law, or the history of new minority movements. The primary focus is the response of the basic institutions of society to the challenge which new religious movements represent. The orientation of this volume is to examine the way in which new movements in general have affected modern society in areas such as economic organisation; the operation of the law; the role of the media; the relationship of so-called ‘cult’ membership to mental health; and the part which women have played in leading or supporting new movements. Specific instances of these relationships are illustrated by reference to many of the most prominent new religions – Hare Krishna, The Brahma Kumaris, The Unification Church, The Jesus Army, The Family’, The Church of Scientology, and Wicca. For students of religion or sociology, New Religious Movements is an invaluable source of information, an example of penetrating analysis, and a series of thought-provoking contributions to a debate which affects many areas of contemporary life in many parts of the world. Contributors: Eileen Barker, James Beckford, Anthony Bradney, Colin Campbell, George Chryssides, Peter Clarke, Paul Heelas, Massimo Introvigne, Lawrence Lilliston, Gordon Melton, Elizabeth Puttick, Gary Shepherd, Colin Slee, Frank Usarski, Bryan Wilson. Bryan Wilson is an Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. He is the author and editor of several books on sects and New Religious Movements.

I concluded finally that he needed a hand,” stated Scientology founding father L. Ron Hubbard. That helping hand became a clenching fist around the throat of many a devout member, which director Alex Gibney reveals in his investigation behind the curtain of Scientology. Having read “Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief” by Lawrence Wright, Gibney signed up to create a film for HBO on the mysterious religion, addressing the numerous allegations of human rights abuses for which it was under attack. With Gibney’s track record of probing power abuse in its many forms, the disputable practices of Hubbard and his enigmatic successor David Miscavige made for prime material. A number of credible ex-members are interviewed, including filmmaker Paul Haggis and John Travolta’s former representative Spanky Taylor, and their journeys up “The Bridge” of Scientology and subsequent rejection of the organization that had promised them spiritual freedom - along with with a hefty financial and personal price tag- serve as the film’s focal point.
