Scientology’s Beliefs


The Xenu Story

Please note that this is what Scientologists actually believe

“75 million years ago, Earth was known as Teegeeack, it was a part of the Galactic Confederation. The Galactic Confederation consisted of 76 planets which orbit stars visible from Teegeeack. The planets all suffered from overpopulation with an average of 178 billion people on each planet.

The head of the Galactic Confederation, Xenu, wanted to solve this overpopulation problem. Xenu’s solution was to bring these 13.528 trillion people to Teegeeack, dumping them in the volcanoes of Hawaii and Las Palmas. Xenu then dropped hydrogen bombs on the volcanoes.

The souls of these mortals were collected in soul catchers and then implanted with false data. These souls (body thetans) were then released and attached themselves to humans. These brainwashed souls are the reason we live in a society which is run by the psychiatry industry. Religion, war, crime and drugs are all the products of our body thetans.

Xenu was captured by his Loyal Officers and was put inside a mountain; where he remains to this day.”

Naturally, any sane person would reject this story as pure science-fiction. It is for this reason that Scientologists are only told this story when they reach Operating Thetan Level III (OTIII). To put it simply; by the time a Scientologist is told this story, they have been adequately brainwashed and are willing to accept such unadulterated nonsense as reality.

Below you will find the original text and a link to a scan of the original OTIII documents in L. Ron Hubbard’s own writing. Be warned, L. Ron Hubbard did suggest that should you be inadequately prepared for OTIII, it could cause you to die of pneumonia.

“The head of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around larger stars visible from here) (founded 95,000,000 years ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation (250 billion or so per planet, 178 billion on average) by mass implanting. He caused people to be brought to Teegeeack (Earth) and put an H-Bomb on the principal volcanos (Incident II) and then the Pacific area ones were taken in boxes to Hawaii and the Atlantic area ones to Las Palmas and there “packaged”.

His name was Xenu. He used renegades. Various misleading data by means of circuits etc. was placed in the implants.

When through with his crime loyal officers (to the people) captured him after six years of battle and put him in an electronic mountain trap where he still is. “They” are gone. The place (Confederation) has since been a desert. The length and brutality of it all was such that this Confederation never recovered. The implant is calculated to kill (by pneumonia etc) anyone who attempts to solve it. This liability has been dispensed with by my tech development.

One can freewheel through the implant and die unless it is approached as precisely outlined. The “freewheel” (auto-running on and on) lasts too long, denies sleep etc and one dies. So be careful to do only Incidents I and II as given and not plow around and fail to complete one thetan at a time.

In December 1967 I knew someone had to take the plunge. I did and emerged very knocked out, but alive. Probably the only one ever to do so in 75,000,000 years. I have all the data now, but only that given here is needful.

One’s body is a mass of individual thetans stuck to oneself or to the body.

One has to clean them off by running incident II and Incident I. It is a long job, requiring care, patience and good auditing. You are running beings. They respond like any preclear. Some large, some small.

Thetans believed they were one. This is the primary error. Good luck.” - Founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard 1
