Remote Viewing and L. Ron Hubbard: Just an Opinion
L. Ron Hubbard
If you look at the genesis of remote viewing it will lead you to one place: L. Ron Hubbard. I know Ed Dames would dispute this, but it is what it is. Three of the five people assigned to the original project for the government, Igno Swann, Hal Puthoff, and Pat Price were all top Scientologists. I know it is debatable, but it only stands to reason, that Remote Viewing was L. Ron Hubbard’s gift to the world.
I did a lot of reading on the subject and everyone touches on it, but I didn’t read where anyone took it a step further. If Hubbard came up with Remote Viewing, where did he get it from? L. Ron was sharp, but Remote Viewing is a little witchy, even for him. Seems out of his league. I believe it is only logical that he stole it from the OTO, the magickal order started by Aleister Crowley upon leaving the Golden Dawn.
The rocket scientist Jack Parsons was Crowley’s hand picked leader of the Order in North America. Parsons was instrumental in forming Jet Propulsion Labortories, commonly referred to as JPL. I would suggest reading Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons, by Jack Carter. In his book, Carter recounts how Hubbard was taken into confidence by Parsons. Together they performed the “Babylon Ritual,” and then Hubbard ran off with Jack Parsons’ wife, boat, and money. It would be easy to surmise that Hubbard got more than the money, the boat and the girl.
Is it possible that Hubbard took with him some of Crowley’s secret workings?
From reading the FBI files, which are posted on the internet. Hubbard had a keen fascination with intelligence. He was constantly offering information to the FBI on individuals he thought were Communists, offering his assistance in any way possible. From their internal documents, it appears they had him pegged as crazy.
His feelings changed later when he was accused of treason in Morocco. He soured. He launched a campaign in which the Church of Scientology was accused of spying on the FBI and IRS. You can’t make this stuff up. These actions resulted in the largest FBI raid in American history. He was able to get away. His wife was jailed.
There is a very odd history with L. Ron Hubbard and the intelligence community. Much as there was with Aleister Crowley, who was the definition of double naught spy in both World Wars. It seems plausible that he could have passed the knowledge of remote viewing off to the CIA, before he decided to wage war against the government.
Truth is much stranger than fiction when looking at Crowley, Parsons, and Hubbard. Take each one individually they are fascinating characters. The fact there is overlap is even more incredible. Crowley seemed to be dismissive about Hubbard, referring to him as something of a huckster. Hubbard may have been smarter than Crowley thought. The truth about the foundations of Remote Viewing may never be known, but, the Crowley scenario seems the most rational to me.
To my knowledge Parsons had nothing to do with founding the Agape lodge. He was a Klingon. That being said, he did help hubbard with the “Babalon” working in the Mojave desert, Which may or may not have been successful.
Perhaps it was successful and Scientology was the MoonChild.
