[QUOTE="spiney, post: 284481, member: 192438"] Well, not so much "mind control", really, more about a very unconventional lifestyle. I gave the links for info, to show that a lot of well-known stuff stems from this little-known man. Otherwise, I'm not condoning anything. Especially Scientology, (which can be) quite nasty. [url]http://www.xenu.net/[/url] . (Much more about Scientology, on various fraudbusting and anti-pseudoscience websites, eg see quackwatch). Added - well worth reading - in fact, riveting and unputdownable! - is the famous and excellent book "Inside Scientology". In fact, I've just discovered this is now freely available online: [url]http://www.clambake.org/archive/books/isd/isd.htm[/url] . To say Parsons helped start or even influence Scientology is untrue, I'm sure he would have denied any such idea, but - of course - it all happened after he died. Otherwise, regarding Robert Wilson, I don't personally think that much of him, finding his sci fi unreadable and theories silly, but that's a personal opinion, there's no doubt he's widely influential, hence should be mentioned.
