INTERFAITH EVENING WITH QUAKERS AND SCIENTOLOGY
17 JUNE 2004 CYRUS BROOKS GAVE A TALK ON SCIENTOLOGY AT THE QUAKERS MEETING HOUSE IN WAHROONGA.
CYRUS WENT OVER SCIENTOLOGY, IT'S MEANING, THE CONCEPT OF THE BRIDGE, BODY-MIND-THETAN, DIANETICS, THE REACTIVE/ANALYTICAL MIND, TIME TRACK, AUDITING, TRAINING, GRADE CHART, TONE SCALE, ARC, THE 8 DYNAMICS AND ANTI-DRUG CAMPAIGN AND DRUG REHABILITATION.
CYRUS ALSO GAVE OUT LITTLE PACKS THAT WERE IN THE PATTERN OF THE WHAT IS SCIENTOLOGY? EXHIBITION.
IT MADE IT A BIT EASIER TO REFER TO EACH POINT AS THERE
WAS A SOMETHING GOING ALONG WITH IT. OVERALL IT WAS GREAT AND THEY WERE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF
CYRUS COMING.
HERE IS THE FEEDBACK:
1) "Some things that came to mind from your talk
* imparting practical life skills
* an understanding of how things work
* different
* process of leading from the finite to the infinite
* structure and ideas/explanations from a "modern" background."
2) "Interesting' presentation
Found the connection between body and spirit *OK*.
3) "Feedback: I learned a lot that I didn't know about Scientology. I didn't know Scientologists believe in
reincarnation. Nor did I know about the 8 dynamics and I was very interested in the emphasis on "the group".
I recommend a brief overview at the beginning of the talk to place the psychological, therapeutic Dianetic
process in the overal context of the spiritual side of Scientology."
4) "When we came to the Q&A session, you were able to express things more openly and in very animated way."
5) "1. I found many parallels between the concepts of Scientology and my study of 'the
Urantic Book" - published by the Urantia Foundation - Chicago. 2. I thoroughly 100% enjoyed your talk. Very educational and
enlightening. Good Stuff!!!"
6) "Interesting and informative. Thank you. I find the 'concept' appealing, but have big gaps in
understanding the process. Much of what you have said could be part of Quaker beliefs."
7) "You have helped me to learn something of the Scientology philosophy and psychology which has helped to get over some
prejudiced ideas about the group. However, the term 'Church of Scientology' is still a bit unclear when one looks at
other faiths of more ancient origins. But we must all give credit for the service work of Scientologists to overcome
world problems."
