Quote: Inside the Criminal Mind |

|
Life is a Game
|
Despite a multitude of differences in their backgrounds and crime patterns, criminals are all alike in one way: how they think. A gun-toting uneducated criminal off the streets of Southeast Washington, D.C., and a crooked Georgetown business executive are extremely similar in their view of themselves and the world. This is not to deny individual differences among criminals in their aesthetic tastes, sexual practices, religious observance, or favorite sports team. But all regard the world as a chessboard over which they have total control, and they perceive people as pawns to be pushed around at will. Trust, love, loyalty, and teamwork are incompatible with their way of life. They scorn and exploit people who are kind, trusting, hardworking, and honest. Toward a few, they are sentimental but rarely considerate. Some of their most altruistic acts have sinister motives. |

The Training of the Beast
|

Hubbard writes about the error of overemphasizing defensive measures, and asserts that "A man is as well off as he can consider himself dangerous to the environment." His "quite amusing" anecdote about a beer bottle brawl illustrates his lack of moral insight and his bully philosophy.
Scientology False Purpose processing seeks out "back-off" to eliminates restraints caused by "false purposes" and "evil intentions" so that Scientologists feel free to act "ethically" to forward Scientology's totalitarian goals.

The Training of the Beast
|
Hubbard sought to thrust people into the abyss with Dianetics and Scientology, and to get Scientologists shoving more and more people into the abyss. In a Philiadelphia Doctorate Course lecture on 18 December 1952 titled Your Own Case To You The Student, excerpted below, he advocated such a thrust. The Philadelphia Doctorate Course lectures expand on a basic Hubbard book: Scientology 8-8008, which philosophic concepts are fundamental to Scientology's philosophy today. Hubbard referred in the lecture to known Black Brother symbolism, i.e., the Tunnels of Set, which relate in an adverse way to a qabalistic analogue called the Tree of Life. Whereas the Tree of Life is a system of pathways to consciousness, its counterpart, the Tree of Death has a nocturnal network of tunnels. |

Religious Claims

For countless ages a goal of religion has been the salvage of the human soul.
Man has tried by many practices to find the pathway of salvation.
He has held the imperishable hope that someday in some way he would be free.
Man has spoken of the second coming of Christ and of the Judgement Day.
America has kept wide the doorway for this salvation by retaining religious freedom.
And here, after these ages of grief and suffering, through terrible wars and catastrophe, the hope still lives—and with that hope, accomplishment. [...]
Note how the Scientology cross is positioned against other religious figures.
