What is the opinion of Scientology?

“

Real religion is not about measurement or ideology; it is the art of dehypnosis, a journey into the silent depths of our true being.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Core Insight:
According to Osho, Scientology is a pseudo-religion—'utter bullshit'—that hypnotizes people by exploiting science’s prestige, gadgets, and advertising. It reduces spirituality to measurable mind-states, while real religion is dehypnosis: dropping ideologies, going beyond mind and measurement into silent, innocent interiority. He says it harms minds and thrives in the modern gap left by discredited old religions.
He says Scientology is fake and hypnotic; real spirituality is waking up from all such ideas and finding quiet inside, not chasing gadgets or 'scientific' proofs.
Why this matters practically
- Avoid being impressed by jargon and gadgets; look for inner silence instead.
- Choose deconditioning and awareness over joining new ideologies.
- Remember meditation can’t be measured; prioritize direct inner experience.
