I'm a very spiritually minded person and I believe that when a person is open to it, the Universe itself can communicate a kind of guidance. Some call it intuition and that is certainly a part of it. In my experience, there's an element of meaningful coincidence, i.e. synchronicity.
For me, this has often manifested as certain books falling open to specific pages which reflected my thoughts. Or meeting someone in an unlikely place at an unlikely time, as if there was some kind of divine or higher orchestration to it. And I've learned to not only just trust my intuition, but to rely upon it. This was something which drew me into Scientology. When I walked into the Org for the first time, I was very open and trusting with my beliefs and the Scientologists I met seemed not only to agree with my findings, but to encourage me to elucidate them to the point where I felt that I had finally come across a group of people who understood where I was coming from philosophically.
Sadly, this was not the case. While they waited until months later to begin chiseling away at what I considered to be my unique spiritual path, they certainly played into my expectation. For example, I was browsing at a large bookstore and making my usual rounds, beginning with the "New Age" section. I found a couple of interesting titles in the conspiracy section and grabbed a couple astrology books before finding a seat in the cafe.
Not ten minutes into my stay, I heard couple of familiar voices behind me. Two Scientology staffers were seated at a table glancing though a stack of computer magazines. I couldn't tell if they were already there when I arrived and there voices just picked up volume of if they had just arrived, but either way, it was rather conspicuous. I made eye contact with each and exclaimed that this was an "interesting coincidence."
Introduction: Awakening From The Nightmare

Escape From Scientology
After being trapped in an abusive relationship with Scientology, I'm finally free. My escape was only made possible thanks to the hard work of the cyber-activism of Anonymous. I want to explain to the general public how an otherwise intelligent and well adjusted person can get caught up in Scientology's web of deceit. There truly is something evil in that the "Church" manipulates the basic psychology of its members/ victims in a way that is nearly impossible to escape until it's too late. It is also my opinion that they operate with the malign intent to not only drain their members emotionally, deprive them intellectually, but also to keep them oppressed financially. I am publishing an account of how Scientology robbed me of my life; of the jobs I lost, the friends who abandoned me, and worse, the time that I lost while indentured as an unwitting servant in this international criminal enterprise. It sounds almost unbelievable until you wake up to the reality of destructive cults in our midst. Think Jonestown, the Moonies, or the Raelians. These are all above ground cults which flourish in our mostly enlightened society. But they are only the tip of the iceberg. Not all cults need publicity to survive. Most thrive under the cover of darkness. It is my view that Scientology falls within the latter category; that the majority of their activities happen in the dark, paranoid, and secret world dreamed up by the charismatic confidence trickster, L. Ron Hubbard. I want to thank each and every Anonymous hero for your role in my awakening and to thank you for allowing me to present my story here. Sarah X |
