information of our brethren in California that Parsons has got
an illumination which he lost all his personal indipendence.
From our brother account he was given away both his girl &
his money. Apparently it is the ordinary confidence trick.
A must chastened Parsons wrote to Crowley on July 5th.
"Here I am in Miami, persuing the children of my folly. I have
them well tied up. They cannont move without going to jail.
However, I am afraid that most of the money has already been
spent. I will be lucky to salvage 3,000 to 5,000 dollars".
Just how Parsons managed to capture the errent lovers is in
keeping with the other extaordinary chapters of this story.
"Hubbard attempted to escape me" Parsons wrote, "by sailing
at 5p.m. & performed a full invocation to Bartzabel within the
circle at 8p.m. (a curse). At the same time however, his ship
was struck by a sudden squall off his sails & forced him back
to port where I took the boat in custody".
Parsons recovered financially & posibly as a backlash to
his experience with Hubbard he took the Oath of the Anti-Christ
in 1948 & changed his name to Belarion Armiluss AlDajjal
Anti-Chirst. In his scientology publications, Hubbard says of
the period, "Crippled & blinded at the end of the war, I
resumed my studies of philosophy & my discoveries recovered
so fully that I was reclassified in 1949 for full combat duty".
Hubbard claims that more than 2 dozen thinkers, prophets
& psychologists influenced scientology (which was launched in
1951); everyone from Plato, Jesus, to Sigmund Freud whom he
says he studied under in Vienna.
The record can now be righted with the inclusion of Aleister
Crowley, the Beast 666

[The above story was taken from issue number 35 of "Insight Magazine"
a British publication on the occult.
It is provided in its incomplete form as it is found in the
magazine [of which is a poorly compiled publication and carelessly
reproduced; nonetheless, I found the story amusing and thought
to share this odd tidbit with the users of this BBS].
