"When I visited the church, I was greeted at the door by a man who said his name was Third Eye," the author writes. "He quickly introduced me to the community pet Krishna, a giant talking parrot. Third Eye explained that he was part of the 'inner circle,' composed of eight core members, all of whom are led by the founder Andrew Keegan. All the members are 'enlightened' and have come together to initiate change. While they are cooperative, Keegan is the official leader who has, as Third Eye put it, the 'ultimate say on all things.'"

Described as "advanced spiritualism" or "the highest spiritualism founded on universal knowledge," Keegan founded Full Circle after he was attacked in 2011 by alleged Venice Beach gang members.

"The significance of this occurrence is that it happened at the same time the tsunami hit Japan," Keegan explained, nothing that the "synchronicity" of the events allowed him to realize his purpose in life.

quote:

Hubbard has been quoted as telling a science fiction convention in 1948: "Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion."
quote:

It was an immediate commercial success and sparked what Martin Gardner calls "a nation-wide cult of incredible proportions". By August 1950, Hubbard's book had sold 55,000 copies, was selling at the rate of 4,000 a week and was being translated into French, German and Japanese. Five hundred Dianetic auditing groups had been set up across the United States.
quote:

Several famous individuals became involved with Dianetics. Aldous Huxley received auditing from Hubbard himself; the poet Jean Toomer and the science fiction writers Theodore Sturgeon and A. E. van Vogt became trained Dianetics auditors. Van Vogt temporarily abandoned writing and became the head of the newly established Los Angeles branch of the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation. Other branches were established in New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Honolulu.

Although Dianetics was not cheap, a great many people were nonetheless willing to pay; van Vogt later recalled "doing little but tear open envelopes and pull out $500 checks from people who wanted to take an auditor's course".

Man that dude was like Beiber to 12 year old girls 20 years ago.

Also he probably goes in raw on these two hot chicks in the 1st row so I'm not knocking his hustle just yet.

I wonder if he released his church at around the same time True Detective premiered.

Seriously


Hopefully it's one of those cults that shares the ladies because almost all of them are pretty.

"I very much speak what comes through [while] in the collective. We create a resonance of balance and equality of the crew," he said. "When you feel those chakras aligned, there's guided messaging coming in. If there is something of spiritual ego within that, it must not exist."

I read this in Rust Cohle's voice. Perfect.
