I read an article yesterday proclaiming Ancient Astronaut theorists (AAT) are really racists for not declaring indigenous superiority. If they can be proclaimed racists, nobody is off-limits.

By the way, I am an AAT and I can say that Clifford Mahooty, a Pueblo-native / indigenous leader, fully supports AAT and its view on history. I think sensationalist journalism is to blame personally. They don’t want to go after the real targets, but rather create fake headlines to get click-bait in the day and age of work from home.

That’s right. Remember the refrain always thrown at you when your OCA is evaluated:
Oooooh! Scientology can fix that!

Yes. In fact I believe it was directed at his, well, third wife, Mary Sue.

That comment from LRH with the N Word is in a letter to his first or second wife…

Aqua. In my opinion they have no clue what is a mind. They just accepted it as given to them by the Hubbits.
They didn’t needed to use their mind anymore and it freezed. Lol

So true Laura. Scientologists become so zombie like they can’t even see their true family. They lose all emotion needed to love their true family, it’s heartbreaking

You know, I read somewhere about that “Get yourself a nigger” LRH anecdote. I think it was someone writing about having read “Messiah or Madman” – Russell Miller’s biography of Hubbard. I haven’t read “Messiah or Madmen” completely, only portions of it. But I’m fairly sure the quote comes from that book.

Now, in his writings, his official writings in Scientology, Hubbard demonstrated great tolerance and respect for other races. But did he really, personally harbor this tolerance and respect for races and cultures other than his own WASP culture? I don’t know. As you pointed out, given the times, probably not. In his heart of hearts he probably considered White Culture superior to all others, I’d opine. But he did talk a good game 🙂

TT, you figured out what research verifies – that such supposed “memories” are just fabricated from forgotten and below-conscious sources such as stories and movies.

This Wikipedia entry (which continues on in detail worth reading) pretty well sums up the state of knowledge and research, much of which I’ve looked into in depth and can vouch for:

“Sources of memories

The “memories” recovered by techniques like past-life regression are the result of cryptomnesia: narratives created by the subconscious mind using imagination, forgotten information and suggestions from the therapist.[sources 1] Memories created under hypnosis are indistinguishable from actual memories and can be more vivid than factual memories.[3][26] The greatest predictor of individuals reporting memories of past lives appears to be their beliefs—individuals who believe in reincarnation are more likely to report such memories, while skeptics or disbelievers are less so.[2][6] ”

Very interesting Richard. I read a book a while back on dreams but do not remember the author (I must have been dreaming). But seriously he got it down to a specific chemical in the brain. Basically he was saying that, for example, you could fly in your dreams because this chemical alters reality. It make things possible in the mind that are physically impossible. This is the mind’s way of finding a solution to a problem.

Yes, its true. Very sad when one observes “freezed minds”. Why have a mind if you won’t/can’t use it?
