That's pretty much the entire Alt-Right/Anti-SJW/Septic Tank cult in a nutshell.

Ever seen the reviews for Dianetics on Amazon? Exactly.

> a link to a pop science book on Amazon.

b-b-b-b- but but but but...If it's a science book available on Amazon, it has to be empirically accurate, right?

the first stage of the group was from the book Dianetics, which is pseudo-psychology published in 1950 (review might be helpful in confirming that this book has no religious or philosophical components)

the next stage was the establishment of Scientology, which was imo philosophy and not religion *yes, it was called a church for tax purposes, but the organization didn't really have any religious beliefs at the time, although they certainly had philosophical beliefs)


Imo the religion phase started with the Xenu "Space Opera" which LRH likely started writing in 1966 and probably was first promulgated to the leaders of the movement in 1968 (based on LRH's "take the plunge" statement about himself in Dec 1967).

The article contains the view that the religion phase was more fully implemented in response to 1971 court case. I used to have a copy of this, but sadly lost it moving around the world (TGFI - thank god for internet ;) )

Your thetans are totally outta whack, totally. May I suggest some therapy??

Well if you want an idea I would check out Dianetics, it's the major book that drives Scientology, and it was written not that long ago.

Interestingly enough, isntead of focusing on stories of how one should live their life, it's more centered on philisophical questions about the reason of existance and such. I haven't read it myself, maybe I'll take to the time to some day.

Well, you could go to a library most libraries have a fair amount of Scientology books, you can buy them on Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Dianetics-Modern-Science-Mental-English/dp/140314446X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368160165&sr=8-1&keywords=dianetics and http://www.amazon.com/L.-Ron-Hubbard/e/B000AP9H6S/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1)

Those are probably your best bests short of going into and org and buying them.
