					<description><![CDATA[This is quite strange. Scientology no longer publishes Hubbard’s Hymn of Asia for obvious reasons… Hubbard was never one to hide his light under a bushel. Pronouncing himself a doctor, nuclear physicist, war hero, master mariner, great philosopher, musician, photographer, cinematographer and more, he also claimed he was the second coming of the Buddha.

					<description><![CDATA[There is quite a lot to be gleaned from this FB post and the comments. First, and most obvious, these scientologists are apparently NOT at cause over their lives and are struggling financially. Second, their solution is NOT to &#8220;solve it with scientology.&#8221; Haven&#8217;t they read all the success stories from the people who listened [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Scientology, according to Hubbard is pan-denominational and is thus harmonious and accepting of all other religions, in fact it embraces them all. In Hubbard&#8217;s view, scientology is the culmination and is senior to all other religions as it provides the answers that all other religions have sought. He expressed this concept in the photo shoot [&#8230;]]]></description>

It is a PR exercise of course, and will be of no comfort to the broken families around the world who have members who have been declared.

					<description><![CDATA[David Miscavige used to conduct 5 or 6 &#8220;International Events&#8221; each year where all scientologists were &#8220;briefed&#8221; on the version of scientology in the world he wanted everyone to hear. These events were required attendance for scientologists, and staff spent weeks calling public repeatedly to &#8220;confirm&#8221; their attendance. Traditionally, the annual &#8220;New Year&#8217;s&#8221; event was [&#8230;]]]></description>

They are the lyrics for a musical performance that was part of the annual Bosun&#8217;s party (I wrote about the infamous first Bosun&#8217;s Party at Flag in 1975 in my book).
