Are any of my fellow Co-creators practicing Scientology?
I woke up today and was feeling good. I got some news of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith being Scientologists. I was intrigued. I've had the book for many years. Never got into it, but hearing that two of my favorite celeb's are in this religion, and that they teach based on some of the method's learned through their Scientology practice at their school, The New Leadership Academy in California, has re-sparked the interest. Maybe that's why this day started extremely different. I explored the scientology website and now I'd like to hear from my fellow co-creators what you think?I'm incredibly curious. Tell me more.

Well it seems to me you dont need your fellow co-creators to explore the Scientology thing, if you feel like it ;)

No your right. I was just wondering if anyone here has any experience with it. Tried it, knows someone who has, tried it loves it, hates it, that sort of thing. I watched a pretty scary video on youtube about it.So far though haven't seen much positive stuff aside from the offical website.

Ha. Most of the stories I've seen involve them wanting more and more money for course's and other stuff. Did they offer to give you any of the "training" they offer?

Thanks so much. Most if what I've read involves people spending lots of money for "training" to become clear as they say. I thought exactly what you said, "full immersion". I do believe there's a shadow side because of a documentary I watched about it.Some of the senior members wouldn't allow the newer practitioners to talk alone to people who were interested in the religion. Was very odd, as if they were afraid the newbies would say something incriminating.

Hi Yvette.
I understand that Scientology can fascinate and that is because, by design the most public friendly ideas are what are pushed on newcomers. I went through a few of the beginner "training" classes myself and to be honest found them to be extremely helpful.
I took one class called "Study Technique", another on verbal communication, another on ethics, and a few others.
It was fascinating but the further I got involved the more suspect it became. There was an older man in our group who was a "Thetan" meaning that he had (spent at least $100,000 on upper level classes) and had passed the levels of normal people and now had super powers of some sort. What surprised me was that this man was a chain smoker who I regularly saw shooting darts at me with his eyes while I laughed and chatted with friends because he thought I was dangerous to scientology because when I was still at home with my parent I had once taken a trial of prozac for about three months.
Finally, our locations leaders came under suspicion for some type of bad behavior and things got really weird. The pressure to sign up for more classes was overwhelming and finally I had to break free from it.
I found the tone scale to be fascinating, however it is clearly biased against homosexuals which I don't agree with. I think their sexuality has it's positive expressions and negative ones, much like heterosexuality. Scientologists categorize gayness with perversion. But chain smoking is just fine. After all L R Hubbard did it.
Basically, if you don't have at least a million dollars to spend on this don't bother. You will be put to work for them in the hopes that you will somehow pay for classes but that will never happen. They will pay little and still ask you to round up money to pay the difference.

More and more this is beginning to sound like something I should steer away from. Even though they may have some helpful aspects so does training ones mind with the many tools that are available for FREE. Thanks for your help.

If anyone is interested in learning more about Scientology (I'm not a follower, just found it an interesting read!!!!), I have the dianetics book avaliable in my new group FREE STUFF, come join and if you want it, its on a first come first serve basis, or if more than one of you are interested in reading it perhaps you could pass it along. Like with all the books and stuff I read/listen to, I took what felt good and left what didn't.
Just thought I'd let you know as I saw the heading of your post:-)
