Another look from a different perspective.

Here is an article by Rev. Jack Nation -- this is how it starts:

"BEGAN: In 1954. Scientology is a religious movement based on the teachings of the American writer and visionary L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard won prominence with his book "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" (1950), in which he outlined a form of therapy for curing emotional and psychosomatic illnesses and enhancing life."Another Look at Scientology

I've read all the "Ron Mags" - magazines highlighting the various careers of L. Ron Hubbard.

One of my favorites, which is contained in a web site as well, is L. Ron Hubbard, The Poet/Lyricist (Poems by L. Ron Hubbard)

And one of my favorite poems is his "Declaration of Peace" from Battlefield Earth.

L. Ron Hubbard wrote many essays on social issues, particularly in the late 1960's.

Having grown up at that time, reading these essays is particularly revalatory for me. As I lived through those days I was swept away and quite confused by the events of the Viet Nam war, campus revolts, "flower-power". It wasn't till many years later, reading these essays, that I understood what was really behind the social upheaval of the time.

Mr. David Miscavige is Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center. Every year he gives a special commemmorative speech on the anniversary of the birthday of L. Ron Hubbard.

David Miscavige reminds us of the vital need in society for L. Ron Hubbard's solutions to life.

Never has this been more apparent that over the past three years.

The World Trade Center was a turning point in world affairs. At least from the vantage point of the United States there has been a greatly increased threat to survival and greatly reduced social liberty. Two wars later, we are no closer to peace than we were on the morning of 9/11.
