This thread doesn't have a point really, just an interesting observation.
It's well-known that L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology, became involved with Thelema in the 1940s and some of the parallels between Scientology and Thelema are remarkable. For example, Hubbards Theta and Crowley's True Will, Hubbards auditing process to remove trauma from the psyche and Crowley's "simplification" to resolve mental complexes and the name itself, Scientology, reflects Crowley's "true science of the magi."
I actually don't think Crowley cared much for Hubbard, but Hubbard seems to have been influenced by Crowley on some key issues.
