Host: Something happened in the world that was a bright piece of hope for man. Such a thing occurs every few hundred, or a thousand years. Some genius rises, and man takes a new step toward a better life, a better culture. There is a difference with Dianetics and Scientology. *It* has *never* happened before, in all the countless years of time. In this brief moment, we have our temporary chance for handling and continuing life. Clouds loom over this culture and planet. In this short interval, in this one place, we have our freedom before us. We *can* arise above the decay - the final flash that will inevitably extinguish this planet. It is not our mission to save it. It is our mission to free you. You are an immortal being. Your life will not halt because this planet halts. You can go on. Now we could play this very low-key. We could sort of giggle and say, "We can help you a little to lead a slightly happier life." Yes, we could say that. Stating that, if you cooperated, we could make you more cheerful. But that would be like offering someone a diamond, and saying it was glass. Right this instant, you are at the threshold of your next trillion years. You will live it in shivering agonized darkness, or you will live it triumphantly in the light; the choice is yours, not ours. If you, this minute, say, "I will, for better or for worse, go on in Scientology," you will open the door to your own future. If you say otherwise, you slam tomorrow shut in your own face. I'm sorry, but that's the way it really is.
- Crazy credits"Persons appearing in this video are thanked for their contribution which was solely in the form of acting and not as technical nor editorial assistance." (No one is credited or identified by name except for L. Ron Hubbard, Norman Starkey, and the production company.)
- ConnectionsReferences The Secret of Treasure Island (1938)
It's not an entertainment film, but is more a briefing to bring people up to snuff about the religion.
I'd recommend this film if you are seriously interested in improving yourself, especially if you are searching for more meaning in life.
I can recall visiting my friend's Buddhist Temple, going to a Unitarian Meeting and visiting several Christian churches when I was seriously evaluating religions and what they had to offer.
If you are in that mind set or somewhere close, go view the film. You'll at least have an idea about what Scientology is and you can make up your own mind.
