primitive races,

Including the white race.

And my conclusions were

That man is

a spiritual being

That was pulled down

to the material,

The fleshly interests,

To an interplay in life

that was, in fact,

Too great for him

to confront.

And i concluded, finally,

That he needed a hand.

To understand scientology,

You have to understand

the life and mind

of its inventor,

L. Ron hubbard.

Hubbard was

a prolific writer.

He actually holds

the "guinness book

of world records"

For the number of books

published--

More than 1,000.

Hubbard got his start

in the depression writing

pulp fiction,

Named for

the cheap paper used.

Writers were paid

a penny a word,

So hey had to write a lot

to make money.

Hubbard hammered away

so fast

On long rolls

of butcher paper

That he used to drop sweat

on his typewriter.

Hubbard's career took off

when he began to write

for a magazine

Called "astounding

science fiction."

Along with authors

like isaac asimov

and robert heinlein,

Hubbard wrote stories

with a sense of mission--

To get man to the stars.

He found his true mtier

in science fiction.

And a lot of

what scientology is

He had previously written about

in the form

Of his science fiction.

He had the ability

to fabricate these

amazing tales,

And he transported

those imaginary stories

Into his theology.

After pearl harbor,

hubbard took command

of a sub chaser,

But he was still a man

prone to invention.

He would write that he sunk

two japanese subs,

But, in fact,

just off the coast of oregon,

He opened fire on what

turned out to be a log

And dropped most of

his depth chargers

On underwater

magnetic rocks.

When he accidentally shelled

a mexican island,

He was relieved

of his command.

After the war,

Hubbard ended up

in los angeles

Where he settled in

with a small group

of seekers and visionaries.

A guy named jack parsons,

a fascinating man,

Was one of the founders

of the jet-propulsion

laboratory.

And there's actually

a crater on the moon

named after jack.

He was a significant

scientific figure,

But he was also

the head honcho

In this black magic cult.

It was called the o.T.O.,

Or the ordo templi orientis.

They followed the teachings

of aleister crowley,

A famous sexual magic figure

in england.

Parsons had a mansion

in pasadena.

They would have ceremonies,

And they were seeking

some sort of goddess figure

That he could impregnate

In order to create

the antichrist.

Hubbard moved in

and became parsons' assistant.

One night,

this beautiful redhead

Named marjorie cameron

showed up at the door.

She was perfectly

willing to engage

in this sexual ritual

In order, supposedly,
