Did L.Ron Hubbard plagarize Scientology? [The More You Know]
February 27th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
The answer appears to be: Yes. In 1934, a Dr. A. Nordenholz wrote a book entitled Scientologie that L. Ron Hubbard read a total of one time and decided later in his great moment of marketing genius to base a religion on these strange psychological ramblings of this Doktor.

Comment by Eric on 28 February 2008:
Oh my!! My thetans just went out of alignment. LOL. This should prove to be interesting to see the responses from all the celebrity clamheads.

Xenu approves!
Comment by none on 28 February 2008:
I there anything about this “religion” that isn’t some type of deception?
Comment by Dave on 28 February 2008:
How ironic. Scientology is plagarized from a “doctor” who seems to have plagarized from Carl Jung.
Comment by YourMom on 28 February 2008:
They’re going to say that L. wRong wrote this in a previous life of course…
Comment by Kek on 28 February 2008:
“They’re going to say that L. wRong wrote this in a previous life of course…”
Dr. A. Nordenholz died in 1953 so Ron L. Fubbard couldn’t have written it as he was alive at the time..
Unless Mr. Fubbard was such a masterful entity he could live multiple lives - literally.
Comment by Will on 28 February 2008:
Wait.. Doesn’t Scientology claim that Psychiatrists are evil? Or is this like the Old/New Testament, where the new people can hate the ones who wrote the first book but continue to use it?
Comment by Poopsy on 28 February 2008:
Kek - Dude - watch the “Fishman Deposition” on youtube or google video. It’s a whole new type of CoS crazy I didn’t know existed. You live your current lifetime, but there is another super-timeline that the thetans live in, so one of your lives in *this* timeline may overlap, or even preceed, your previous lifetime in the super-timeline.

@Poopsy
Crap, is there even more dogma to this thing? Anyway, thanks for the tip. I’ll watch it.
Comment by Lenore on 28 February 2008:
I wonder if the family of the author of this book can sue? I mean, this is piracy, aye?
Comment by Willis on 28 February 2008:
Not a Scientology fan, by any means but aren’t most (if not all) religions “plagiarized”?
Comment by ian on 28 February 2008:
to willis:
not ALL religions can be plagiarized, but there are running threads through each one, yes.

How hard can one laugh at a fraud? Poor Tom Cruise and the other dupes. Germany you look brilliant; what a crock this mock religion is. Stick by your guns.

I wouldn’t call this plagiarism… he paraphrased it. He even changed the title a smidge.
Comment by clamgoo on 29 February 2008:
L. Ron, you disappoint me.

“It’s fake.” That’s always their response.
We are all just Dark Minions of Xenu.
Comment by wil thompson on 29 February 2008:
Scientology started as a form of psuedo-psychology. When the pychs told L Ron his theories were rubbish, he flipped. L Ron combined this stuff with the occult stuff his buddy (and nuclear physicst) J Parsons was working on, Scientology was born.
Of course, Xenu was mentioned in one of L Ron’s sci fi stories in the 1930’s but he claims to have knowledge of Xenu only after $cientology was born (1950’s). Not a very good memory for a guy with such stunning superpowers.
By the way, L Ron ran off with J Parson’s girlfriend. Looks like L Ron stole more than his ideas. For the full story visit xenu.net

Amazing how L Ron Hubbard just stole things that didn’t belong to him. Justlike a criminal,

Science of the Constitution and Usefulness of Knowledge
The book “Scientology: Science of the Constitution and Usefulness of Knowledge” was first published in 1934 by the Publishing House “Ernst Reinhardt” in Munich, Germany
http://www.scientologie.de/scientologie/english.htm
About the author of that book
Dr. Anastasius Nordenholz
His Life
© 1995 by Freie Zone e.V.
Dr. Anastasius Nordenholz was born on February 1st, 1862 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He spent his early years in Argentina and came to Germany when he was 16.
He qualified for entrance to a university in Berlin and began to study law, political economics and philosophy. His studies led him from Berlin to Zurich and Jena, then on to Munich, where he remained until approx. 1905 in order to devote himself entirely to his studies as a private scholar.
Economical problems stood in the foreground of his investigations. In 1904, his publication of political economics entitled “Allgemeine Theorie der gesellschaftlichen Produktion” (General Theory of the Production in Society) was published. In his philosophical thinking he was linked with Schopenhauer and examined Kant’s criticism. He focused his thoughts and examinations on the science of human thinking and knowledge.
In 1927 his book “Welt als Individuation - Entwurf eines Individuationismus” (World as Individuation - Concept of an Individuationism) followed. A supplement of the Publishing House Felix Meiner in Leipzig added at that time: “The author wants to unify the two big tendencies of European Spirituality, namely Kant’s criticism and Darwin’s selectionism. He tries to place the means of thinking of both directions in a neutral conceptional system and therewith tries to obtain a starting point in order to actually establish a critical statement regarding our conceptual thinking. The new unification is called individuationism. Hence a methodology of thinking of the world is signified which is based on the assumption of a world creative role of individuation. Within individuation, the inner circle of the consciousness and the outer circle of the senses have one and the same denominator. Perhaps we find here the decisive word for a solution to the rational-irrational crisis from which our actual conceptual thinking suffers”.
In 1934 his work “Scientologie - Wissenschaft von der Beschaffenheit und Tauglichkeit des Wissens” (”Scientology Science of the Constitution and Usefulness of Knowledge”) was published.
After World War I, Dr. A. Nordenholz returned to his home country, Argentina. There he spent the remainder of his life in Las Rosas, Santa Fé, and went to Germany only as a visitor.
In the middle of this uncompleted scientific work, Dr. Anastasius Nordenholz died on September 21st, 1953 at the age of 91 in Santa Fé, Argentina.

Nothing new, all modern and mainstream religions are plagiarisms in some way. For example Christianity is a plagiarism of ancient Egyptian religions.

Yeah, but Chrisianity isn’t sueing people for copyright infringment left and right to silence their critics
Comment by Digital on 3 March 2008:

Comment by Iman Afiizt on 4 March 2008:
Unfortunately copyrights do expire. We are not trying to figure out of Scientology is a scam, we know it. Things like this you find out after doing 5 minutes of research into this criminal organisation.

“I there anything about this “religion” that isn’t some type of deception?”
Well, no, there isn’t… and that, clearly, is because there is nothing about ANY “religion” that isn’t some type of deception.
We are deceived by those who were deceived by those who were… you get it. Our forefathers didn’t MEAN to boldface lie to us - they just did, because their parents boldface lied to them.
Our job is clear. We need to teach our children that gods are just like Santa, the Bunny and the tooth Fairy - pretend (but far more dangerous).
