We have another leaked video from inside Scientology, this time from the Melbourne org. Australian musician and Scientology Volunteer Minister Rob Meister broadcast a lecture on past lives, a major aspect of Scientology’s teachings. (We previously heard from Meister when he was stranded on the Freewinds during its measles quarantine.)
L. Ron Hubbard’s 1958 book “Have You Lived Before This Life?” is the inspiration of the talk and Meister reads part of the introduction. The book is no longer for sale in Scientology bookstores, possibly because the contents are quite gruesome and violent, a fact not mentioned in the video.
In 1958 Hubbard was operating out of the Fitzroy Street org and created the 5th London Advanced Clinical Course. Stories of past lives were collected by auditors during this course and published. The planned sequel, “Where Are You Buried?” never materialized. The stories read like disjointed nightmares, full of beheadings, explosions, torture and infidelity. In 1999 I wrote a summary of each case from an early copy I owned that had the names of the PCs that contributed their past life memories. Later editions removed the names.
The idea was to prove that past lives recalled during auditing are real. Hubbard wrote “Seventy conservative, well-trained Scientologists, the most effective practitioners on today’s world mental improvement have gone through these experiences. Seventy sane people have some evidence that they have lived before.” In 1999 my conclusion was that given enough auditing, a person will invent memories to please their leader. Here is a summary of each case.

“When we go into the idea of supreme beings or gods or big thetans or something like that, well, we’ve just taken the whole curve all the way around and the only thing we’ve got on this planet today is just pure nuttiness on this subject, see, the theory of the Big Thetan, see. Actually, the Big Thetan theory is simply one of the GPMs and it — there’s end words that have to do with gods and things like this, you see. And there’s one of the root words — several of the root words — have to do with worship and so forth and it’s just goofiness, see? There isn’t anybody, any Big Thetan around who’s permeating everything that just because you say, ‘Now, please give me cake and ice cream for my supper tonight,’ is going to suddenly go into a brown study and wonder how to get you cake and ice cream tonight, see. There just is no such being.” — L. Ron Hubbard, July 15, 1964
