Xenu
From Non-Violent Uprising
What is Xenu?
Xenu is a major figure in the Scientology myths, whom Anonymous has used as one of its unofficial mascots and catchphrases. The CoS does not permit its members access to information such as the Xenu story until they are further up the hierarchy, which is after they have given the Church hundreds of thousands of dollars.
According to church doctrine from the OT III level, Xenu was the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" 75 million years ago. The story goes that Xenu, seeing that the Confederacy was extremely overpopulated, brought billions of his own people to Earth in what Hubbard described as "DC-8-like spacecraft, only with rocket engines" and dropped them in/around volcanoes and proceeded to kill them by dropping hydrogen bombs on them.
Xenu then used an "electronic ribbon" to capture the souls of the genocide victims, which escaped from their host bodies in the explosion and became known as "thetans". After capturing the billions of thetans, they were taken to a type of cinema, where they were forced to watch what Hubbard described as a "three-D, super colossal motion picture" for thirty-six days. This implanted what is known as the R-6 implant in Scientology, which was information "God, the Devil, space opera, et cetera". Included in the implant was all world religions, with Hubbard specifically attributing Roman Catholicism and the image of the Crucifixion to this incident.
It should also be noted that the interior design of "all modern theaters" is also said by Hubbard to be due to an unconscious recollection of Xenu's implants.
The thetans, after being released from the cinemas, were completely devoid of any personal identity. The thetans started clustering together in groups of a few thousand, having lost their sense of self, and began to gather into one of the few remaining bodies that survived the explosion. These are referred to as body thetans, and clearing yourself of body thetans is the reason Scientologists believe you must attend auditing sessions.
