The first critical treatment of Scientology that seeks to identify and correct what is wrong with it rather than to merely expose or advocate against the subject. A handbook for former, current and prospective members. The book can help to heal any damage done by misuse while rehabilitating any positives derived from Scientology. The book also serves to proof up an individual against being harmed by misapplication of Scientology in the future. As the first simple, accurate description of the philosophy from its introductory to its most advanced levels, the book will inform those interested in Scientology as no other available work has.

Über den Autor und weitere Mitwirkende

Mark ‘Marty’ Rathbun was Inspector General of the Religious Technology Center (RTC), the organization that controls the copyrights and trademarks of the materials relating to Dianetics and Scientology. His role was to head the Inspector General Network, described by the Church of Scientology as "an independent investigatory and policing body whose function is to keep Scientology working by ensuring the pure and ethical use of Dianetics and Scientology technology." The post is one of the most senior management functions in the Church and its related organizations. Rathbun left the Church of Scientology in 2004. He is now an independent Scientologist. As such he and his wife, Monique, provide counseling and auditing services for other Scientologists that have cut their ties with the Church of Scientology. He emerged as a critical source in a 2009 Tampa Bay Times expose on the organization, revealing that physical violence is a common occurrence within Scientology management, and that Scientology head David Miscavige regularly beats his staff, and orders staff to administer beatings to designated individuals. The series by the Times titled "Inside Scientology: The Truth Rundown" (http://tinyurl.com/mjcnfv) was recognized with honors including the 2010 Gold Medal for Public Service award from the Florida Society of News Editors, and was a finalist for the 2010 National Headliner Awards in the category of investigative reporting. Rathbun has also been profiled by the following publications: The UK Independent weekly magazine: http://tinyurl.com/cwahwzy Texas Monthly magazine: http://tinyurl.com/758rb75 The Village Voice: http://tinyurl.com/5tjnhuc Rathbun operates a blog called Moving On Up a Little Higher: markrathbun.wordpress.com

Best Book on the Subject

Rezension aus Kanada am 14. August 2018

Verifizierter Kauf

Of the many tell all books on this subject this one is probably the best. Without simply recounting anecdotes
and historical incidents the author actually addresses the question in the title in an organized and methodical manner.
Sixteen chapters , 157 pages , so concise and to the point. If you wish to know about this subject , this is where to start.

"What Is Wrong with Scientology" -- Another Spring Uprising?

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 28. Juli 2012

Verifizierter Kauf

Rathbun gives a valuable exposition for any past, present, or future person interested or involved in Scientology.

While primarily laying responsibility for Scientology's current state of affairs with Chairman of the Board David Miscavige (who took control of the church after Hubbard's death), he nonetheless does not let L. Ron Hubbard of the hook. This is a welcome perspective. It breaks with an otherwise inviolable church canon or straightjacket that holds that Hubbard is so correct as "source" as to have a papal infallibility.

Rathbun exhibits reason and rationality. As a conceptual thinker, Rathbun grasps that concepts, context, and common sense matter. Rote or robotic interpretations serve no one. Through Rathbun's line of reasoning, the opportunity for freedom might be reintroduced into a religion that was founded on the concept of being a bridge to total freedom, but which arguably lost its way as it descended into totalitarian enforcement of its rules. The forest was lost for the trees. Rathbun points the reader back to the big picture -- the forest.

Further, the author validates the wisdom inherent in all humans, piercing the conceit held by many Scientologists that only Scientology holds the answers -- a conceit, it must be said, that is not uncommon among religions. By validating great thinkers of the past and present, Rathbun elevates Scientology's potential to connect itself to the human dialogue in a meaningful way. By tying Scientology's thinking and concepts to ideas more commonly understood by the general public, Rathbun legitimizes and humanizes Scientology in a way that might -- just maybe might -- lead to what is good and valuable in Scientology being of service to humankind. And which just might lead to the end of the cultish, self-ostracism of Scientology from society by helping terminate Scientology's disparagement of non-Scientologists (e.g., referring to them with the demeaning term of "wogs").

Hubbard's thoughts in some areas are, in this reviewer's opinion, unworthy of serious consideration -- for example, his work on radiation (the book does not touch on this specific topic). Rathbun sanely recognizes that Hubbard was not infallible and urges the reader to adopt Hubbard's own stated advice: Something is only true for you if you yourself find it to be true -- though this logically valid, gnostic position is often a double-bind for Scientologists who are also taught by Hubbard that the believer must uphold Scientology exactly in all its processes without question or variation (cf., "Keeping Scientology Working").

Further, Rathbun makes the case that despite failings on Hubbard's part (or misinterpretations taken out of historical context of the church), that there is a baby in the bathwater that should not be thrown out. The argument boils down to this: Yes, there are errors, but there is much to be valued as workable. Similar assertions could be made about other past thinkers. No one would, for example, insist on discrediting the value of calculus just because Newton (one of two acknowledged discoverers) also sought the alchemical (and chimerical) Philosopher's Stone. Nor would most people discount Tesla's electrical genius simply because he was irrationally phobic of germs in social situations, displaying what appeared to be an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Current Scientologists may see Rathbun's book as treasonous, indoctrinated as they are to brook no disagreement with the words of Hubbard -- or the official church. However, if Scientologists can listen openly to Rathbun, they may find that he envisions a viable direction for the truest aims of Scientology to be achieved, a way for the subject of Scientology, if not the church, to rise renewed from the seismic upheavals reportedly plaguing it today.

Some critics of Hubbard will surely say that Rathbun's book is too forgiving of Hubbard. Some of them will note that while certain problems may have increased in the church after Hubbard's death, many if not all of those problems were certainly not absent before Hubbard's death. Put another way, the debate is not resolved for many as to whether Scientology's church is suffering its woes due to Miscavige's leadership, or due to Hubbard himself.

For many other readers, I being one of them, Rathbun hits the mark. He evokes in some ex-Scientologists the memory of what was good and right about Scientology, and what the spiritual and philosophical aspirations were that led people to Scientology in the first place. Those spiritually inclined will pick out nuances and subtleties that have rung true across the eons for many humans. Scientology's contribution of a very unique and structured spiritual path is significant and is certainly deserving of study from all perspectives and at all levels.

Rathbun himself has been labeled elsewhere as "Scientology's heretic" and has been compared to Martin Luther of the Protestant revolution in Christianity. The parallels are certainly obvious. However, this reviewer suggests another analogy: Spring.

Spring is a time of rejuvenation. The term Spring has been applied to political revolts against totalitarianism and dictatorships. The Prague Spring of 1968 comes to mind. This year, we saw the Arab Spring, where dictatorship after dictatorship has fallen. Perhaps now we are seeing the Scientology Spring. After all, when all the dust and the words settle, Rathbun is calling for freedom, self-determination, rationalism, inclusiveness, validation of all people of good will, and a faith that is not only validating of what is workable but which insists on rights and good treatment of its own adherents.

In the end, this writer pictures Rathbun, Zen-like, pointing to the moon and saying "You will not get there by studying the hand pointing at it." If this is indeed a Scientology Spring, this reviewer wishes everyone the best of outcomes -- everyone with any past, present, or future connection to the subject.

How a Sociopath Can Pervert an Important Subject

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 5. August 2012

Verifizierter Kauf

PRO's: This is the first "mind freeing" book about Scientology I've ever read about Scientology by a Scientologist. The author takes the mystery out of what went wrong and what is wrong with Scientology and the Church of Scientology (corporate Scientology he calls it).

Unlike what some critic extremists say here in their reviews(some who haven't even bought the book), this is not a thesis by an apologist for Hubbard. The author is critical of Hubbard, too. For example:

"However, to ignore the shift of focus and the reversal-of-motivation tactic employed - even by Hubbard himself - would be to check my logic and personal integrity at the door. Just why Hubbard deviated from a 15-year devotion to creating a path that would only work where the practitioner's motivations were solely the pursuit of truth toward the empowerment of each individual addressed, into scare tactics aimed at having each individual surrender his or her self-determinism to the will of the group, is a complex matter."

"For our purposes here - outlining what is wrong with Scientology - it is only necessary to highlight the contradictions that are obvious. Recognition of those contradictions makes patent the simple fact that to take every word Hubbard wrote literally, and treat it as commandment, puts one on a slippery, untenable slope. To do so would be just as irrational as criticizing and rejecting all of Hubbard's work and discoveries just because it is recognized he was not infallible. Exercising either extreme would be to employ the type of associative-reactive thought patterns his discoveries help people to overcome."

"no matter how one dressed it up, Scientology policy created and required a force that one would have to be in utter denial to characterize as anything other than the POLICE enforcing PROHIBITIONS [Words here in BOLD are italics in the book], so as to protect good people from other people presumably dedicated to EVIL."

- Page 126 and 127

It is clear to me that Hubbard went "PTS" (which Scientoligist did not recognize or handle) and started taking on sociopath characteristics himself. He demonstrated the "overt/blow phenomenon" (meaning when you do something wrong, you leave the scene) by disappearing from public in the 80's.

David Miscavige, a true sociopath, took this opportunity to take control over the Scientology corporate empire, and took the abuse to the extreme to present time. Corporate Scientologists are "PTS" (short for "potential trouble source" meaning somebody who is the negative effect of a sociopath or suppressive person "SP") to David Miscavige. This is why we see them acting so strangely and even nuts.

If corporate Scientologists are "allowed" (or allow themselves) to read this book, it will handle their "PTS" and thus heal them through understanding as the subtitle suggests, as the entire content of the book indicates the right "who", "what", and "why".

I highly recommend this book to all corporate Scientologists, independent Scientologists, ex Scientologists, or anybody considering taking a course or getting auditing at any Church of Scientology. The author's book tells them the truth, and will open their eyes.

CON's: I only have two and they are just annoyances/inconveniences. The author puts his name on the top of every left page. IMO, the name of the chapter you're reading should be there, instead. There is no bibliography. It would have been nice for the author to have references to the books he recommends and references to other sources. However, these issues don't effect my 5-Star rating of this book as they don't have anything to do with his important message.

How a once popular self-help group became a dangerous cult

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 11. August 2012

Verifizierter Kauf

An excellent guide for Scientologists (and some of their critics) with a step-by-step walkthrough of how the corporate "Church of Scientology" abandoned the philosophy it was founded upon, becoming the abusive, extremist, money-hungry UFO cult it is today. A great read for anyone who has found value in Scientology as a subject/practice, yet bewildered by the questionable actions of the CoS organisation.
