About the Actor

L. Ron Hubbard: The Founder of Scientology To say that L. Ron Hubbard was a remarkable man seems somehow incomplete. Mr. Hubbard left an extraordinary legacy: an immense body of wisdom that leads man to spiritual freedom; the fastest-growing religion in the world today, Scientology. As the founder of the Scientology religion L. Ron Hubbard has described his philosophy in more than 5,000 writings, including dozens of books, and in 3,000 tape-recorded lectures of Dianetics and Scientology. Those who regularly employ his teachings to improve themselves and help their fellows come from all walks of life, while Scientology missions and churches have been established on six continents. The universal acclaim for the man including thousands of awards and recognitions from individuals and groups and the unprecedented popularity of his works is but one indicator of the effectiveness of his technologies. More importantly, there are millions of people around the world who consider they have no greater friend. Although best known for Dianetics technology and the Scientology philosophy, L. Ron Hubbard cannot be so simply categorized. If nothing else, his life was too varied, his influence too broad. There are Bantu tribesmen in southern Africa, for example, who know nothing of Dianetics and Scientology, but they know L. Ron Hubbard the educator. Likewise, there are factory workers in Albania who know him only for his administrative discoveries; children in China who know him only as the author of their moral code, and readers in a dozen languages who know him only for his novels. So, no, L. Ron Hubbard is not an easy man to categorize and certainly does not fit popular misconceptions of religious founder as an aloof and contemplative figure. Yet the more one comes to know this man and his achievements, the more one comes to realize he was precisely the sort of person to have brought us Scientology the only major religion to have been

Product Description

As a young man, L. Ron Hubbard asked the question, "What is man?" To his astonishment, no one could give him the answer. Thus began his life's work a relentless search to discover the truth. And indeed he found the answer and because he did others can find it too in Scientology. In this exclusive filmed interview he answers the most commonly-asked questions about Scientology and how he discovered the only route to Total Freedom. Here are the questions most asked by your family, your friends, and the people you meet in the ordinary course of living, including: "What is Scientology?" "What is the Mind?" "How did L. Ron Hubbard come to develop Scientology?" "How did he make these discoveries?" "What is an auditor?" "Why is Man on this planet and what is his purpose here?" "Why is Man basically good?" Here, then is the perfect way to introduce anyone to Scientology through the words of L. Ron Hubbard himself.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rambling rubbish from the founder of scientology., February 1, 2008
By Nick (MA, USA) - See all my reviews
I have no idea why the church of scientology doesn't pull this embarrassing garbage off the shelves.

I wanted to watch the dvd to see what scientology is all about and was interested to see how charismatic l ron hubbard was to have founded it.

What a rambling, bumbling BORE! His writings or advisors must be more coherent and mesmerizing! I cannot remember the last time I was subjected to such contradictory and aimless chatter!

"The insane are.....the insane." and "The brain is.....the brain." are two examples of the absence of fluidity or thought that tortured one attempting to endure this interview. I laughed out loud at the parts that did not lull me to sleep.

The interviewer must be a member of Scientology or someone who was very kind to snatch out of the air a coherent summary from l ron hubbard's nonsensical and directionless statements.

If I hear him say "and so on and so forth " one more time as his voice fades and trails off once again depriving us from a simple articulate and organized thought or statement, I'll become one of the insane that he seems to repeatedly distance himself.

It was interesting that he mentions undesirables that are not welcome to scientology. What authentic and desirable religion excludes one from becoming a follower?

This dvd certainly makes the founder of scientology look bumbling in his awkward attempts towards impressive or didactic posturing.

His 'no/yes' reply to the simple question of is scientology a religion should be interesting to anyone examining scientology's tax-exempt status.

This dvd is a gold mine to anyone looking for faults in scientology and its founder and a humilation to any member of this new religion founded a little over fifty years ago.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat interesting, September 24, 2008
I found this interview to be somewhat interesting. The interview was obviously staged. The interviewer, Tony Hitchman acts the part of a journalist, but was actually a Scientologist for several years before this was filmed. No difficult questions are asked, and Hitchman fails to ask some follow-up questions to some of the more strange things Hubbard says. It's a promotional piece for Scientology, but I still found it interesting, not in that it really explains much of anything, but I guess, because it's rare to see Hubbard try to explain Scientology to outsiders, as most or all of his taped lectures were given to Scientologists. If you're interested in Scientology and can find it at a cheap price, it's worth watching if you take it for what it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars LRH Filmed Interview, August 12, 2008
This is one of the only filmed interviews LRH did, and it is very insightful on the introductory believes and axioms of the Scientology religion.

But mostly this film allows you to see him, how he moves, his mannerisms, and hear about Scientology FROM SOURCE !!

The word Scientology literally means "the study of truth." It comes from the Latin word "scio" meaning "knowing in the fullest sense of the word" and the Greek word "logos"... Read more
