Objective: Gather clues regarding Scientology's infiltration of other religious groups Today's log entry: Vipassana Forum visitor 1-11-2009 mattkingnz stops by a Buddhist forum and leaves a comment comparing Scientology to Buddhism. He says "clearing" the reactive mind is similar to clearing tension in parts of the body during meditation. He says that Scientologists and Buddhists both believe in an eternal spirit separate from the body and mind. Both believe in reincarnation. So Buddhism and Scientology are practically the same. The bad stuff you hear? All lies. Don't listen. Yet mattkingnz outs himself as a manipulator. He pretends he's not-a-Scientologist-but... Later he posts: LOL
Is it possible the "our" is just referring to people who have religions in general? Since the poster changes from "our goal" to "you are"? As in, My goal no matter what my religion is, is to become blah blah, your goal no matter what your religion is to become blah blah, one's goal no matter what one's religion is to tell me as a noob to gtfo or qft... in the nicest way possible...
what you said sounded about right to me. but yeah, it is not accurate to compare Scn to Buddhism. scn does not view compassion as being a part of an enlightened consciousness, imo. nothing wrong with talking about stuff.... heavy dude meditators could probably whip someone around pretty easily just for lulz/
