millions upon millions of words

November 19th, 2006 by Michelle

Here’s a bit of a speech recently given by David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of the Religious Technology Center–which according to its website “holds the ultimate ecclesiastical authority regarding the standard and pure application of L. Ron Hubbard’s religious technologies.” Miscavige gave the speech to a bunch of Scientologists who had gathered to celebrate L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday in March. He’s referring here to the release on DVD of Hubbard’s “Clearing Congress” lectures. Miscavige was Tom Cruise’s best man at his wedding yesterday in Rome.

Last year we launched the Golden Age of Knowledge. It’s a program, when completed, that will see Scientology into the future for eternity. That is, all of Scientology in full application producing miracles-as-usual results at every step of the Bridge to Total Freedom…when you consider the future release of virtually every LRH lecture, it means nothing less than the fact that every Scientologist will have before them the vast panorama of LRH’s discoveries — millions upon millions of words — yet each singular breakthrough distinguishable and locatable at the push of a button.

The exercise:
Write a pamphlet for a cult of your own invention.
