Some time ago, "Mission Impossible 6" was released, and the 56-year-old Tom had a life on the screen.
Ordinary audiences were thrilled to watch, but Tom's loyal fans were nervous and distressed, and sweated for him.
At the age of 56, I have made all the money I should make, and I have all the fame I should have. By this time, the average action movie star is basically showing his face in the movie, and the usual dangerous actions are still performed by a substitute. As Tang Ge did his own work, besides himself, there may be a 64-year-old Chinese face Jackie Chan.
At this point, I suddenly discovered a very interesting phenomenon. Because of the particularity of the film type, action stars will choose a spiritual sustenance in the later stage of their acting career in order to support their career development to eliminate the physical and psychological trauma caused by filming. .
Jackie Chan has Buddhist beliefs, Jet Li directly chose to become a Buddhist. What about Brother Tom? No exception, he is a loyal believer of Scientology in the United States, also known as Scientology. Looking up the information, Erqian found that this rampant Scientology in Hollywood is not simple.
1. The origin of Scientology
This sect was founded in 1954 by the American science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. Its core doctrine is to oppose the modern medical system and advocate the use of "psychic" and blood transfusion to purify the wounded mind. From this point of view, Scientology exists mainly to eliminate trauma and frustration, which is related to the early experience of the founder Hubbard.
When he was young, Hubbard preferred psychoanalysis, and he also came to China to get in touch with Eastern philosophy. During World War II, he participated in the navy and experienced cruel battles such as the Iwo Jima naval battle. When he was discharged from the army, he sought psychological assistance from the Veterans Administration, saying that he had a strong depression and suicidal tendency. After that, he began to write Articles on psychotherapy, and subsequently published his own book "Psychicism-Modern Science of Mental Health."
This book promotes the psychic method of healing mental trauma, which has caused a strong response among the large population of traumatic people who have just ended the war. The first edition sold millions of copies. Taking this opportunity, Hubbard established Scientology in Washington in 1954.
(L. Ron Hubbert, founder of "Scientology", died in 1986)
With the slow development of sects, the nature of Scientology began to change. The original psychic healing was upgraded to mind control. Hubbard proclaimed that there are 12 types of accumulated evils that must be eliminated to achieve physical and mental purification. The methods include infusion of filtered and incantated blood, psychic meditation, and brainwashing. Teach words.
In addition, members have to pay a large membership fee before joining the club. The amount of psychotherapy for every 50 hours is as high as US$2,350. With this kind of money-making plan, Scientology has now developed into a huge multinational organization, even in Taiwan. In charge of the association. However, in our country and many European countries, Scientology has been included as a cult.
2. The most profitable religion
(Scientology Church)
Scientology’s methods of accumulating money are diverse. Their teaching warns that even "purified" believers still face great soul danger, unless they enter a higher level, but training and promotion require expensive fees.
According to the price list listed by the church in 2012, newly recruited believers will have to pay $1,000 per hour to participate in the "advisory meeting", and $12,500 for 12-and-a-half hours for intensive classes.
An American magazine conducted more than 150 interviews, checked hundreds of court records and Scientology internal materials, and found that Scientology is a corrupt organization with amazing profitability. Scientology only relied on providing the service of "soul art", and it made 500 million US dollars in a year in 1987 and became a huge money-making machine that developed globally.
3. The big sect behind Hollywood
Although Scientology was founded in Washington, its headquarters is located in Los Angeles, where Hollywood is located.
Because of this close relationship, hundreds of stars have been included in the huge sect of Scientology, including superstars such as Angelina Jolie and Tonge. Tonge joined Scientology in 1986, prompting him to The reason for joining the church was that he received a "psychic treatment" from a woman named Mimi Rogers to cure his dyslexia (an inability to recognize and understand written or printed words, symbols, Symptoms of letters or colors).
Since then, Tom's trust in Scientology has increased sharply, and he has spared no effort to attract surrounding stars to join the church, including Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, and even Beckham.
Successfully developing believers like Atang Ge, Scientology found a good development model, and they focused their attention on developing believers at celebrities. In Hollywood, Scientology recruited a group of stars into the "Celebrity Center" to provide them with expensive psychological counseling and career guidance. In addition to Cruise, there are also famous movie stars such as Will Smith and John Travolta.
4. Strict church lifestyle: break up with critical friends, family members and colleagues
The help that science teaches provides to members, called "guidance", is actually manipulation. After Brother Atang joined Scientology, the church began to take over his life. The luxury car provided a lot of things, he also helped him get married, and found his partner Nicole Kidman, and even intervened in his movie casting and shooting. Wait.
Tom and Nicole Kidman were originally a good pair of golden boys and girls, but in the end, the church believed that the two people had different ideas and prompted them to divorce. Since then, Tom has experienced two marriages, both of which are controlled by Scientology. However, they chose to divorce because the woman could not stand the nearly harsh church lifestyle.
In June 2012, the divorce between Atang Ge and Katie Holm caused an uproar. The strict church lifestyle of Scientology was exposed by the media, which also pushed Scientology, a religion full of "cult" colors, to the fore.
In order to comply with the regulations of Scientology, the prenuptial agreement between Atang Ge and Katie Holm is as long as thousands of articles. The regulations on homosexuality are jaw-dropping: "No jokes about homosexuality are allowed, and Tom K. The movie that Ruth participated in was added with a spoof title, such as "Rising Clouds" as the chief homosexual, and "Mission Impossible" as an unscrupulous marriage; not to talk about Mr. Cruise's male friends with anyone; you must follow the Galaxy The stipulated life of the Planet Federation..."
(Kelly McGillis, who played Tom Cruise's lover in "The Highest Rising Clouds", announced his derailment in 2009, which annoyed Scientology)
After agreeing to divorce Katie Holm, Atang Ge no longer meets with his ex-wife Katie, rarely meets his daughter Suri, and even misses her daughter's school day.

Why would a lover like A Tang be like this? It is also because of science education. There is a "disconnection" principle in the doctrine of Scientology, which requires Scientology members to avoid any friends, family members or colleagues who criticize Scientology. According to this requirement, Brother Atang needs to avoid his ex-wife and daughter.
Fortunately, Atang quit Scientology after the divorce and immediately joined Catholicism, which means that he has entered another field. But even so, in August of that year, with the approval of the high-level Scientology, Brother Atang was allowed to visit his beloved daughter occasionally, even though she had already withdrawn from the church.
5. Religion with science fiction
Each religion is more or less mysterious, and apart from mystery, Scientology also has a bit of science fiction.
The most famous doctrine of Scientology is: "Scientology" stipulates that "Once the leader Xenu returns to the earth, the congregation must board an aircraft carrier or ship to follow the leader.
In the prenuptial agreement between Tom and Katie Holm, there is such a clause: "Once the leader Xenu returns to Earth, Katie must accompany Tom Cruise on the aircraft carrier or ship chosen by her husband, otherwise it will All property was confiscated."
According to the teachings of Scientology, Xenu is the leader of the Star Alliance in the teachings of Scientology, translated as Zinu. Znu rules over 76 planets. About 75 million years ago, Znu transported billions of aliens to the earth in a spacecraft. Afterwards, Znu put them into some volcanoes next to each other and detonated a hydrogen bomb to kill them.
The souls of these aliens remained on the earth, waiting to enter the body of the earthlings in the future. It is this period of history that has brought tremendous spiritual damage and misfortune to today’s human beings, but these injuries and misfortunes can be achieved through special techniques, using the "electropsychological scale" as a tool, in a process called "listening". Resolve.

What’s incredible is that there are not a few Hollywood stars who believe in Scientology. In addition to Tom, another celebrity, John Travolta (the male protagonist of "Pulp Fiction"), also believes in Scientology. And because of this, she severed her relationship with her previous family members. Both of them were stars who were heavily influenced by Scientology.
Regardless of whether Brother Tom’s "fighting for life" has anything to do with the church he believes in, it is certain that at least his life is not peaceful.
Seeing this, I can only bless Brother Atang: Cherish life and stay away from cults.
Everyone also knows the stories of stars and sects, welcome to discuss.
