Dianetics is a "science" created by L. Ron Hubbard. It claims without real scientific proof that all health issues in the body are mental and are caused by engrams, or pain that is "trapped" inside cells (it also considers homosexuality a sexually deviant condition). The reactive mind, or the part of the body that deals with vital functions takes these engrams and turns them into psychological illnesses. If you were lost at the word engram, don't worry, I had the same issue. The problems with these theories is that they have not been proven and are brought up from the sales pitch of a used car dealership. This "science" then leads into Scientology, the religion of the Thetan or spirit. This is when shit get's crazy. They believe that an intergalactic lord named Xenu dumped alien beings into volcanoes on earth millions of years ago. The spirits or thetans of these beings went loose unto the prehistoric race of humans, causing them to evolve. They claim once humans are free of engrams, they can posses supernatural powers. The only positive and non batshit crazy thin about this religion is its philosophy. It's philosophy is that humans must have a goal to further their individual selves, their communities, their species, and life as a whole. Rating- Dianetics/Scientology- 3/10 Really F@*cking Crazy.
