Can you get any more veg?? (ok, I don´t think thats how you spell veg...but if it were with spanish procunciation it would be). If I wrote man is Basically anything on a philosophy test, or a literature test i´m sure the response would be a lot of question marks. Basically I´ve heard used in a preppy since frequently (soooo basically the other day I was talking with so and so and they were like TOTALLY...you get hte picture).
Basing a religion on a phrase that contains the word ´basically´? Isn´t that a bit extreme? Perhaps some of you have noticed that i´m studying Scientology for a project in philosophy on religions. I had heard some people talk about it (more like in magazines or whatever becuase its one of the celebrity fads) and now after reading I think i´m just more confused! The information on the first part of the website I would describe as a ´how to be human´course for space aliens. Like really, they say to take emotions, and they all have numbers 1-9 and once you can identify their number you know which number emotion you need to react with. Are we human or are we dancer?
But then the question occured to me, even if it is a cult, and the system does seem strange, if the people who believe in it really are happy then what else matters? I have yet to discover any other reason to life besides happiness, so something that helps you to achieve it can´t be all wrong, right?
Does anyone have any personal experience/ opinions about Scientology? I would be SUPER interested to hear them! At the very least their conectps and broad followship have peaked my interest.
Write me a comment, and I´ll keep you guys updated as I keep studying and putting together my report,
Molly

Greetings...I am a friend of your moms (fellow greener grad student). I am curious about happiness? Are you going to write about it in your paper? It may be interesting to consider how happiness is historically and socially embedded in the west. The Enlightenment did some interesting things...maybe we could blame/praise Augustine for it? I'd love to read a copy of your paper! Just some thoughts:) of happiness
