Two weeks ago we launched the iScientology blog.

This is not MY blog. Yes, I administer it — as someone has to — but this blog is the creation of a large and ever-growing number of independent Scientologists on several different continents. The intent was that a central place could be created which is a safe space for people who use and apply LRH tech in their lives, and wish to continue to do the same.

A place where others of similar views hang out, and enjoy a bit of banter and a burst of theta.

A place where we do not have to defend our views, beliefs or history — but can just BE.

In the last 14 days we have gone from a completely new blog with no one knowing we existed — to over 3,500 views.

In our first two days, due to false reports of a “schism” in the independent field, we had much interest from the ESMB and WWP sites, but they quickly lost interest when it became apparent that the articles on this blog are not about controversy, trying to push buttons, trying to attract mainstream media, or providing fodder for critical individuals.

Since that point the blog stats are in screaming affluence and growing daily. We have over 150 visitors a day, with more than 130 comments, and some 20 articles. Our community comes from: USA, Canada, Australia, Uniited Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Israel, Hong Kong and of course, South Africa.

The feedback so far has been great. Only 6 nasty comments received — which is less than 5% of the total comments — and of those, 4 were from one individual (which adds up to just under 2.5 percent of those responding — makes sense!).

So, in summary — it is great to have your support and to see the numbers start to stack up. There are many more of us out there — so what is needed and wanted from this end is:

1. Contributions in the forms of articles, stories and successes are ALWAYS welcome — from anyone. You have a voice, so please feel free to use it. Send them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..">This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. So far we have had a constant stream of articles, stories and successes…. so just keep them coming please.

2. Your views and comments are wanted. “LIKE” an individual article, if you want more of the same. Use the comment section on the blog to have a say. We far prefer comments on the blog than on Facebook and other blogs — as then all can see what is being said.

3. Please do send a link of the blog to friends, family, and anyone else you want to. Trying to reach independents across the planet is an interesting test of intention. If you have an email list, or access to a community group, delivery group or any one else, please do send it out to all. If you want to be notified of new postings on the blog, then “FOLLOW” us and you will receive notifications by email. We won’t be continuing to promote every posting on FB groups, chat lines, etc.

4. And without wanting to sound corny — please do let us what is needed and wanted by YOU, by commenting, providing feedback or writing directly to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..">This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Specific areas you want to hear about? Topics you want to explore? Delivery information? Successes?

This is YOUR blog, so please let us know how we can improve it further and build on this community.

Cheers, Lana

Now we have moved over to iScientology.org. How cool! More and more cohesion every day!

Somebody told me about this blog today. I love it already – great articles. Interesting that you have 150 visits a day, after just two weeks.

Like. Definitely Like. Thanks ever so, this blog is absolutely needed and wanted, and most appreciated – the variety of views and stories is especially appealing and interesting. Thank you!

Yes, this is the blog – where it is all going to start. We are going to resurrect Scientology (oh man did I just piss some people off) and clear this mudball. Please get your friends to look at the blog. They can be a member on their own determinism – or not. We would just like to invite people to be here.

I’m really glad this place is here. The atmosphere here reminds me of the orgs in the early 70s. It’s very theta, and a safe space to enjoy the company of fellow Scientologists.

Following other Scientology oriented blogs has tended to focus my attention on the outpoints with the church. Inflowing so much of that type of negativity, doubt, and debate, has given me a wooden feeling over time. A counter-balance such as the iScientology blog was the correct C/S for what was bothering me.

Thank you to all who have contributed to my improved state of mind!

Whew! You said it all, so succinctly, for
me too, bro! Great to see a vet'like you,
moving over to this high ARC space, where
a true spirit of LRH's staggering legacy
can continue to inspire and re-ignite the real passion for "moving on up a little higher"...ON THE TONE SCALE too!

Awesome.
One of the few things I miss about the Church is being part of a group. The Church is off purpose and screwed up, but sometimes on a local level at your local org you would find a good group of people and I’m getting some of that feeling here.

Good to see you here Chris! To quote from the great Kahlil Gibran in "The Prophet"

And a youth said,Speak to us of Friendship.
And he answered, saying;
Your friend is your needs answered.
he is your friend which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger,
and you seek him for peace.

When your friend speaks his mind you fear
not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart:
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain. .....

ARC, Calvin.

Interesting articles on this blog.
I’d go so far as to say that it is spiritually uplifting!

By Scientologists for Scientologists may undercut the purpose. What do you think?

Great point! Thanks for that. Great tag line and very much a true statement of what we are trying to achieve. Give me a day to get through the move over here, and we will incorporate. Cheers.
