Are you outraged?
kook n. Slang. "There is a link between madness and creativity. Everyone knows examples of creative people (Nietzsche, Van Gogh, etc.) who later went crazy, and crazy people who produce amazing creative works as part of their therapy. (Mental health professionals who have realized this often display the artwork of their psychotic patients, which is of profound depth and quality.) Much art (Hieronymous Bosch, surrealism, Dadaism, Edvard Munch, and other parts of the avant-garde) seems to be the work of madmen." "This premise has been criticized by Rothenberg and others who believe that creative people are very stable and normal, although they may occasionally use unusual modes of thinking (which he calls 'translogical' rather than 'irrational.') Others propose the deprivation/compensation hypothesis: the 'suffering/starving' artist creates to compensate for his lack and suffering through the act of creation. While such suffering is usually socioeconomic, it may also be a result of illness, one kind of which could be mental illness. From this point of view, mental illness is only indirectly connected to creative ability; other forms of illness (Beethoven's deafness, Frieda Kahlo's pain, etc.) are impetuses as well." "Creativity is a special form of madness. According to the theory, creativity is either a strategy or form of sublimation to deal with madness, or a modified form of madness which is benign. This idea is expressed by C.G. Jung when he tells James Joyce about his sister in a mental asylum: "She has drowned in the same river from which you draw your sustenance." |

Freqently Asked Questions
What is Scientology?Scientology is like a 19th century seedy carnival side show, whenever someone in the audience would yell out how the trick was done, he would be dragged outside by a couple of toughs stationed there for this purpose, and beaten up. Scientology’s demeanor is identical to this, only in the ‘civil’ 20th century they use lawyers, then the entire sordid affair is cloaked in bogus religiosity. P T Barnum, the father of the circus, would be proud. When direct litigation is rendered no longer possible due to broad awareness Scientology operatives generate false reports, based upon Hubbard's doctrines, "make it go right" , "fair game" and "if possible, destroy utterly" they then try to manipulate by ARTIFICE: state, local and Federal law enforcement to do their work for them - silencing critics. That John Travolta and Tom Cruise are entranced by this particular sideshow, should be interpreted as evidence of the mastery of the art of deception, sleight of hand, misdirection of attention, and linguistic trickery used by Hubbard. That Scientology then keeps the tent flaps tied shut, so that the deluded cannot see outside, is just confirmation that it indeed is merely a plot to deceive.. (c) Arnaldo P. Lerma 1999 Man! Scientology really doesn't like you Mr. Lerma, what did you do to make them mad?My conduct has interfered with Scientology's continued extraction of money from rubes longer answer hereWhy did you get involved with Scientology?I believed Scientology and L Ron Hubbard's lies. They fooled me for ten years, please don't let them fool you for ten minutes... Longer answer here Why did you leave?An incident occurred that caused me to suspend my belief long enough to disassociate with Scientology, that story has been included in Art of Deception II hotlink to the section about Suzette Hubbard is here. Why did you decide to try to expose Scientology's true nature?In a 1994 guidebook to the internet there was a list of newsgroups, in that list were two entries - one for alt.religion.scientology He's dead Jim...and an entry for alt.clearing.technology "renegades from the church of scientology". I logged in to the latter and posted and soon met a man whom 25 years previously I had last seen on the front steps of Scientology in Washington DC.. Joe Harrington.He introduced me to a few people on the net, and shortly thereafter I read the affidavit of Andre Tabayoyan, now I was galvanized... My efforts drew the attention of Scientology in November 1994 - See Washington post article about that. I began collecting and scanning court records and posting them upon the net. As I got to the bottom of a pile of affidavits, I scanned and ocr'd a copy of an unsealed court record containing scientology's secrets of XENU in the Fishman Affidavit to the newsgroup.That became RTC Vs Arnaldo Lerma, Digital Gateway, The Washington Post, Rich Leiby and Marc Fisher. A digest and scholarly analysis of these one time secrets is on Dave Touretzky's website at Carnegie Mellon University and at Xenu.net A version of these materials whose copyright happens to be prior to Scientology's, and held by one of my own "auditors", Jeffrey Filburt, from when I was in Scientology, is here on my website. This was filed as an exhibit late in my own case, in this motion. Details of Scientology's outrageous conduct in in RTC vs Lerma is summarized in this motion { long ) from RTC vs Lerma
Who won RTC vs Lerma? -We won the Trade Secret claims on the 5th of December 1995, and got the RAID VACATED... From RTC's own filings summarizing what they think they won in their motion for costs, they only moved to seek $500,000 of the total of 1,700,000 they claimed in the same filing to have spent. By Scientology's own admissions, It is accurate to say we won 11/17th of the entire case... being a majority of RTC vs Lerma, so I can say we won. Having survived 1,700,000 of scientology litigation without a gag agreement, I'm sure we won.. More about this here. I mean, Scientology tried to even get Federal Judge Brinkema's final memorandum opinion sealed, wheras I was driving around Clearwater with it on the side of a billboard style truck! That's the image further down on this page. See LEGAL page for more about RTC vs Lerma How much did they offer for the gag agreement?The final offer was 9-12 million, Monique Yingling was there with the BIG checkbook, but this was not just for me, this was a global settlement to try and end RTC vs Lerma, RTC and Bridge Publication vs FACTnet and Lawrence Wollersheim's 7,000,000 dollar judgement - it was a huge global settlement. How long are you going to keep this up?Until Scientology is no longer a threat to any other 16 year old kid, who had good grades and a bright future. How many Scientologists are there?Despite Scientology's preposterous claim of 8 million.... We now have some hard numbers, 55,000 in the United States...this is from a City University of New York scientific survey 2001 and 216 in New Zealand out of 3.8 million population in New Zealand { New Zealand census data), Scientology is obviously no more than a fringe cult of extremest fanatics...I know, I used to be one. Why are Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirsty Alley, Jenna Elfman, etc. still in Scientology?Scientology holds much appeal to a narcissist, I mean Hubbard essentialy promises that you can become a God if you get across his "bridge to total freedom" [tm] Religious Technology Center. Otherwise, it is a very good question; perhaps they have not read this website.... Now I do know why Hubbard targets "celebrities": I have seen actual clay models, little figures of people, circles and arrows, all with little labels, inside one of Scientology's headquarter management buildings, of an elaborate charade to get a certain ally of a big time celebrity involved in Scientology. Hubbard based his elaborate efforts to recruit and retain "celebrities" upon British Christian Theologan Professor CS Lewis's "Screwtape Letters" and "Screwtape Proposes a Toast" : "As the great sinners grow fewer, and the majority lose all individuality, the great sinners become far more effective agents for us. Every dictator or even demagogue- almost every film star or crooner--can now draw tens of thousands of the human sheep with him." "Catch the bellweather, and his whole flock comes after him" Many other countries are cracking down on them, why does the United States government tolerate them at all?When you find this answer please let me know. Our founding fathers, under a seemingly all-inclusive banner of "In God We Trust" strove to create a government "of the people, by the people and for the people" However, what we are dealing with today, seems a lot more like a government of the money, by the money and for the money. And Scientologyis really only about one thing, money. How can I help?A song comes to mind about a man arrested in Havana... the chorus is "send guns, money and lawyers." But we dont need guns because in the case of Scientology, the pen is mightier than the sword, however we do need money and lawyers.
Sincerely, Arnaldo Lerma -- I'd prefer to die speaking my mind than live fearing to speak. The only thing that always works in scientology are its lawyers The internet is the liberty tree of the new millennium Secrets are the mortar binding lies as bricks together into prisons for the mind http://www.lermanet.com - mentioned 4 January 2000 in The Washington Post's - 'Reliable Source' column re "Scientologist with no HEAD" RELATED links: |
