Also, about that Scientology stuff…..back in the seventies, my sons and I moved into an old house. The previous renter, left a poster about Scientology on the wall. It was like a flow-chart or pyrimid thing. It gave me the creeps. Tom and Scientology are spooky!!

I used to live in Boston and me and a friend of mine were stopped on Newbury Street by one of the followers. He lead us to their headquarters and we took “personality” tests. I finished mine very quickly and was lead into a “viewing” room, where I watched a documentary about the history and philosophies of of Dianetics. While I was watching, I noticed these quick flashes on the screen that I was completely aware of, but I thought that these were supposed to be subliminal messages that I am sure helps for them to get new members.

When the movie was done, I waited for my friend, who was still taking the test. I saw that two of the members were talking very seriously to my friend, telling him that he needed them in order to live a successful and better life. My friend got reactive and we left. I later found out why it had taken so long for him to finish the test: he had written the opposite of how he had felt. I shared with him my experiences during the movie and we both were really disturbed by the whole process.

I think that Tom Cruise is trying to gain more members through his Oprah appearances. I had seen a clip from an interview on YouTube where he was talking about Dianetics in a way that seemed obsessive and creepy. It was laughable and unbelievably ridiculous.

I think that it is a mistake for Oprah to have him on her program again. It doesn’t make her look credible and she is bound to get bad press for entertaining such a clearly unstable person.

As people we need to really start to get our heads out of your soap opera dreamy idealisms and start to commit to things that are of substance in life.
