Scientology and the Aftermath

Humans are physical bodies inhabited by thetans, immortal soullike entities that carry all identity, self-awareness (there you go) and are responsible for all interaction. Thetans have many past lifes that are somehow accessible if you reach an advanced level (which you reach by giving money). 
Now thetans have willed themeselves to exist 3 trillion years ago. Then they created space by adding every single perspective into the imagination of the whole, that being the universe, that of course only exists based on agreement amongst all thetans. Sure. How comes "we" don't know? It's because thetans were too bored to know everything and experience no surprise, that's why. So "perceptions" got "not-is-ed", which means knowledge got deliberately suppressed. Again, you can throw money at this to access some forgotten things - that's "potential".

That whole forgetting, of course, escalated quickly and thetans started turning against each other as a consequence. Now that's just logical. It cumulated in "Incident II". 
Xenu, well-known boss of a Galactic Confederacy (26 suns, 76 planets), had a hard time - we write 75 million years before now, although people lived quite exactly like people did here in the '60s (except for that whole space conquering thing, of course). His empire was overpopulated, his throne was questioned. So he tricked people. Disguised as an income tax collector, his people came to the citizen's doors, paralysed them and deep-froze them in glykol and alcohol to capture their souls (you know, exactly like the Democrats plan to do with gun owners). He then took those captured thetans and threw them into the volcanoes of Teegeeack, which some of you might also know as Earth. He then threw hydrogen bombs into the volcanoes to kill all but a few bodies. Brilliant plan.

Now the thetans that survived (and sure they did, they're immortal) - again - got captured by Xenu (it gets a bit boring there) using an electronic ribbon to suck them into vacuum zones. Then they were shipped to Las Palmas and Hawaii. Here they had to watch a 3D movie (yes, a 3D movie, not just any old movie) for 36 days. There all the lies got planted into the thetans, especially Catholicism, but in fact all sorts of demagogue stuff.
These thetans lost their sense of distinguishing each other, and honestly, who wouldn't. They clustered in thousands and then entered the remaining alive bodies from all the hydrogen/volcano thing. These are "body thetans" and, unlike the hidden potential of yourself type of thetans you all are, are "bad" thetans that need to go away. Sure thing.
Shortly after, Xenu was captured by a government group called  "Loyal Officers" (although the first word seems a bit off) - probably becasuse of his obvious insanity and numerous completely pointless deeds, but I can only speculate here. Nevertheless. Teegeeack remained a prison, so Xenus actions were kind of confirmed after the regime change anyways.

Now if you wonder what Incident I was - there the unsuspecting thetans had to suffer hearing loud snapping noises and a flood of light. Followed by a chariot. Followed by a trumpeting cherub (now that makes sense). Then some more noises and finally total darkness. Traumatizing. And a bit strange, since virtually everything was created based on the thetan's perspective points and so there could have been "no surprises" around 4 quadrillion years ago (when this inexplainable thing happened to the all-knowing creators of everything), so there's that. Again, first money, then questions, I guess.

There's one person surviving Incident II unharmed. L. Ron Hubbard. That's why he knows. I don't know how that whole "surviving" works given the described circumstances, but then again, I didn't spend the money.

---- Now say what you want, but it takes A LOT of faith to believe in these kind of stories. After you paid 100.000 dollars to reach a level where you can finally spend the paltry sum of 6.500 Dollars to learn it. Sure, you could have used Wikipedia, but that's for poor suckers, right? But believing THAT. That's faith.

(And also don't get me wrong, but all other religious background stories are just as wacky to me than this one, so well.)

Sounds like the plot to Eraserhead.
