Aerial signposts point to Scientology's sacred text storage facility (CO$ hidden lair in New Mexico)

Aerial signposts point to Scientology's sacred text storage facility There are symbols in northern New Mexico that mark a Church of Scientology vault built in a mountainside. The facility contains founder L. Ron Hubbard's writings etched into stainless steel tablets that are stored in titanium capsules. The Church of Scientology apparently asked Albuquerque TV station KRQE not to air its report last week about the markings in the desert. From the Washington Post:

The church offered a tour of the underground facility if KRQE would kill the piece, the station said in its newscast. Scientology also called KRQE's owner, Emmis Communications, and "sought the help of a powerful New Mexican lawmaker" to lobby against airing the piece, the station reported on its Web site...

What do the markings mean? For starters, the interlocking circles and diamonds match the logo of the Church of Spiritual Technology, which had the vault constructed in a mesa in the late 1980s. The $2.5 million construction job was done by Denman and Associates of Santa Fe, but company Vice President Sally Butler said of the circles, "If there is anything like that out there, it had nothing to do with us."

Perhaps the signs are just a proud expression of the Scientology brand. But there are other, more intriguing theories.

Former Scientologists familiar with Hubbard's teachings on reincarnation say the symbol marks a "return point" so loyal staff members know where they can find the founder's works when they travel here in the future from other places in the universe.

Actually, there was this interesting experiment at MIT recently. A student came up with this idea--

All over the world, people hid written instructions, mostly in old libraries, telling the time and place of a meeting (a convention, actually) that was to be held this year. The instructions asked that IF time-travel is possible, oh great reader of the future, then please come back and meet us at this particular time and place!

(The key, of course, is to assume the instructions will survive many centuries before being found... you just have to hide them well enough!)

I'm not sure, but I think the convention was already held. I didn't read about any time-travellers showing up. Did you?

Can anybody explain to me how Scientology got firmly established in Hollywood? Was Travolta the first big celebrity name?

I don't remember anything about it being there in the '60s or early 70's.

There was a policy letter laying out a plan to specifically target "opinion leaders" such as actors, musicians, sports heroes. politicians, etc. with the idea that they would lead many people into the church.

Ravolta wasn't the first. Dunno who was. Jazz musician Chick Corea maybe? Priscilla Presley?

They specifically targeted Hollywood. A big effort to find, woo and keep.

The celebrities see a country club version of the con.

Ten thousand years from now, some future humans are gonna think we were superstitious egotistical bogus-science whack jobs.

If you listen closely you can actually hear Nicole Kidman and Brooke Shields laughing.
