These quotes from the Prof. Dumbledore fit perfectly, you could simply replace “this mirror” by “Scientology”:

“However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth. Men have
wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven
mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible.”

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember
that.”
