Unlike many of the religions we know, such as Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, which are more orthodox religions, the beliefs given to people by Scientology do not have a specific god, a doctrine, and at most a horrible personality cult. As stated in the film, it is difficult for these so-called believers to describe what they believe in. Even the source of this teaching has to wait until how many levels the refresher course has reached (it made me think that the game is playing monsters...) before you know such a science-fiction-like source. Of course, everyone who saw it thought: Wow, it's a lie to the child. Of course, they tend not to retreat for this, because the price is too high. This is exactly the horror of this teaching or enterprise. So, is it really religious Mou? It is the U.S. National Tax that can be judged if it is, but the IRS surrendered in a series of terrorist complaints against the IRS by Scientology. Wow, horror. Of course I think they are just for tax evasion companies.
So what do they believe in? I think it is actually an interest. It's about making yourself better.
Of course, if this so-called "religion" is an enterprise, many of its propaganda methods and profit-making methods are worth learning from many enterprises.
In the beginning, people use confession and meditation methods similar to psychology and religion to tell people their bad things. Of course, when people say something about privacy, it will make people feel happy. Moreover, he will have a good impression on the listener because of this. (Ah, you are the one who knows my little secret.) Of course, there are step-by-step upgrade courses and more and more expensive fees.
Next, let you be a listener. I always think that people have an inferiority, and I like to see others worse than myself. In this way, the mental satisfaction of this believer will temporarily increase. Of course, people who have been exposed to these bad things are very likely to go crazy in the long run. This also explains that many people are reluctant to do this course later. But they can't escape the next class because they have already paid for it. This is simply a way to promote many products. For example, you played a game, spent time, energy, and even spent money, and you have reached level 40. I think this game is so boring, but you think I spent so many things, so it’s a pity that I gave up ?
Of course, some people still decide to abandon this thing that has taken a lot of energy. Their end is not good. First of all, if they are discovered first, they will be accepted new courses. I think it is a "prison school", doing all kinds of coolies, saying that they are evolving body and mind, it is better to torture these people. will. Make them feel better to stay. Second, if you were lucky enough to run away at that time without being "reported", it would be very tragic. Almost all your friends and family teach this. In other words, this religion has driven away all those around you who are not followers, and you can only be friends and family with followers. Also, don't forget how you got into this teaching. You can report "Listen to your faults" in the basic class. These "privacy", they use this to ruin your reputation and make you crash. Even worse, they will continue to harass you, monitor you, and protect you. You will think, why should I retire?
I find that the believers of this religion are often people who want to achieve immediate success. For example, I want to succeed immediately, and I want to reconcile with my girlfriend immediately, I think. . . . Not a person with a strong will. So I say that what they teach is "interest."
As for Brother Tom, to be honest, I'm a little disappointed. In fact, I think he knows this teaching basis and he has no faith at all. But for him, staying in this church, he is almost enshrined as the responsibility of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He can do whatever he wants. He is already a vested interest, but once he leaves, we can think about the consequences of him.
Finally, I want to say that it takes courage to believe in a matter, but it takes courage to leave it.
