If you’re unfamiliar with Scientology’s doctrine on aliens, you can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu
Summary:
Scientology’s doctrine on alien activity on Earth is primarily derived from the writings and lectures of its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Central to these beliefs is the story of Xenu, a galactic dictator. According to Hubbard’s account, Xenu ruled the Galactic Confederacy 75 million years ago and faced overpopulation issues. To solve this, he transported billions of his people to Earth (then known as Teegeeack), placed them around volcanoes, and detonated hydrogen bombs, killing them. The souls of these beings, called “thetans,” were captured, brainwashed with false memories, and released back into the environment, attaching themselves to human bodies.
These thetans, burdened with traumatic memories from past lives, are believed to be the source of human psychological problems. Scientology teaches that through its auditing process, individuals can clear themselves of these “body thetans” and their negative influences, achieving a state known as “Clear” and eventually reaching higher levels of spiritual awareness and freedom.
While these beliefs form part of the church’s advanced teachings, they are typically only revealed to members who have reached higher levels of the church’s hierarchy, particularly the Operating Thetan (OT) levels. This doctrine is often kept confidential within the church, and members are required to pay significant fees to access these advanced teachings.
Scientology does not emphasize these alien-related doctrines in its public communications, focusing instead on more general spiritual and self-help themes. The story of Xenu and related beliefs became widely known primarily through leaks and the accounts of former members.
My question is whether Scientologists are heavily active in the “UFO community”.
