This is a wonderful story about the history of Lafayette Square – the future home of our new church. I love the fact that the people who built up this community and saved it from literal wreckage did so in the face of “reasons” that it wouldn’t work. There is a lesson here that constructive activities are not always recognized as valuable by “the powers that be” or by a middle-class-hold-onto-everything-very-carefully mindset.

New Idea in Australia published short interviews with religious leaders, asking them what they believe happens after a person dies. The Public Affairs Director of the Church of Scientology Sydney, Churlya Wurfel, responded this way: Many Scientologists have certainty they have lived before. We call this past lies,not reincarnation, which is different. We believe that we come back into another human body.

On the eve of the anniversary of the birth of L. Ron Hubbard, a comment on his legacy. There are only two tests of a life well lived L. Ron Hubbard once remarked: Did one do as one intended? And were people glad one lived? In testament to the first stands the full body of his life’s work, including some 12,000 writings and 3,000 tape-recorded lectures of Dianetics and Scientology.

I’ve written a few articles (like this and this) on the subject, as the brilliance with which L. Ron Hubbard’s administrative teachings can be used to unsnarl problems in the family never ceases to amaze. Another such facet of this is one that seems to have infinite application... Read more
