If Scientology Ruled the World pt. 2 with Jon Atack

In this episode, we continue exploring Jon Atack’s latest work, "If Scientology Ruled the World: Nazi Occultists, Sex Magick, Space Aliens, and the Second Coming." In our previous episode with Jon, we began unpacking the intricate web of beliefs that form the foundation of Scientology. Today, we'll go even deeper, examining the historical connections between Scientology and other esoteric movements, from Madame Blavatsky's Theosophy to surprising links with occult practices. Jon brings his unique perspective as both a former high-ranking Scientologist and as the author of the definitive historical account of the organization. His firsthand experience, combined with decades of research, makes him one of the most knowledgeable voices on this subject. We'll explore ideas about aliens, ancient civilizations, and the bizarre cosmology that forms Scientology's secret upper-level teachings. Jon will help us understand how these beliefs connect to broader patterns found in destructive authoritarian groups throughout history.
