The history of Xenu was brought to us by the founder of
Scientology and science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, who further
described the process to those members of his church willing to pay
upwards of $100,000 dollars for the privilege.
According to Hubbard, the now-disembodied victims' souls, called
thetans, were blown into the air by the blast. They were captured
by Xenu's forces using an "electronic ribbon" and sucked into
"vacuum zones" around the world. The hundreds of billions of
captured thetans were taken to a type of cinema, where they were
forced to watch a "three-D, super colossal motion picture" for
thirty-six days. This implanted what Hubbard termed "various
misleading data" into the memories of the hapless thetans, "which
has to do with God, the Devil, space opera, et cetera". This
included all world religions, with Hubbard specifically attributing
Roman Catholicism and the image of the Crucifixion to the influence
of Xenu. The two "implant stations" cited by Hubbard were said to
have been located on Hawaii and Las Palmas in the Canary
Islands.
In addition to implanting new beliefs in the thetans, the images
deprived them of their sense of personal identity. When the thetans
left the projection areas, they started to cluster together in
groups of a few thousand, having lost the ability to differentiate
between each other. Each cluster of thetans gathered into one of
the few remaining bodies that survived the explosion. These became
what are known as body thetans, which are said to be still clinging
to and adversely affecting everyone except those Scientologists who
have performed the necessary steps to remove them.
A government faction known as the Loyal Officers finally
overthrew Xenu and his renegades, and locked him away in "an
electronic mountain trap" from which he still has not escaped.
Although the location of Xenu is sometimes said to be the Pyrenees
on Earth, this is actually the location Hubbard gave elsewhere for
an ancient "Martian report station". Earth was subsequently
abandoned by the Galactic Confederacy and remains a pariah "prison
planet" to this day, although it has suffered repeatedly from
incursions by alien "Invader Forces" since that time.
Disclaimer:
Do not approach this series lightly. If this were only a 500'
bushwhack, I would call it hellish. The roots will trip you, the
branches will shred you and poke your eyes, and the insects will
consume you. But it's not 500'. It's over 12 bloody miles! I highly
recommend you bring snake boots, lots of water, long pants, long
sleeve shirt, lots of water, good hat, pokey stick, lots of water,
spare everything, bug spray, lots of water, writing utensils, cell
phone, lots of water.
Did I mention bring lots of water?
