Scientology and Western Esotericis
! American historian J. Gordon Melton(right) included Scientology within the
general category of Westernesotericism, arguing that its
cosmology and worldview are firmly
rooted in the gnostic tradition

Scientology and the Visual Ar
! Did Scientology influence those modern artists who got interestetheory and practices? Would it be possible to study Scientology’
on the visual arts just as we study the respective influences of TheCatholicism, or Christian Science?
! In order to address this question, I will discuss
1. Scientology’s theory of aesthetics
2. A survey of artists who are Scientologists (also based on personal
in Europe and the U.S.)

A Gnostic Narrative
! At the core of Scientolog
there is a gnostic narrativ
beginning there were thepure spirits who created M
energy, space, and timetheir own pleasure. Unfor
incarnating and reincarn
human bodies, the thetaforget that they had crea
and to believe that they

Analytical and Reactive Min
! Mind for Scientology has two parts. The analytical mind
observes and remembers data, stores their pictures asmental images, and uses them to take decisions and
promote survival. The reactive mind records mentalimages at times of unconsciousness, incidents, or pain,
and stores these images as «engrams». They areawakened and reactivated when similarcircumstances occur, creating all sort of problems

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scientology-and-the-visual-arts 9/57
The Tone Scale
! The more the thetan believes to bethe effect, rather than the cause, of
the physical universe, the more thereactive mind exerts its negative
effects. They affect the Tone Scale,showing the emotional tones a
person can experience, and thelevels of ARC (Affinity – Reality –Communication)
8/16/2019 Scientology and the Visual Arts
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scientology-and-the-visual-arts 10/57
The ARC Triangle! Affinity is the positive emotional
relationship we establish with others.
Reality is the agreement we reachwith others about how things are.
Communication is the most importantpart of the triangle: through
communication, we socially
construct reality and, once reality isconsensually shared, we are able to
generate affinity

L. Ron Hubbard and the Ar
!
Scientology founder L. Ron Hubb(1911-1986) was familiar with the
milieus as a successful writer of fic1951, Hubbard wrote that «there
appear a good definition for aesand art». In the same year, he de
the argument in Science of Survi
returned often to the arts, partic

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scientology-and-the-visual-arts 12/57
The Aesthetic Mind
!
In Science of Survival, Hubbard wrote thatabove the analytical mind there are many
more mind levels. The first is the aestheticmind, which «deals with the nebulous field
of art and creation». The «strange thing» isthat in gifted artists it can keep working
even when the analytical mind is disturbed
and the reactive mind is causing its usualdamage. It is, however, a false and
«neurotic belief» that «when an artist
becomes less neurotic he becomes lessable»

Rome and Christianity
! Roman art, Hubbard wrote,good». Revolting «against R
disregard for human life», Crefused everything Roman.

Art and Society
! In Science of Survival, Hubbard taughtthat artists «can create any reality» and
«deal with any level of communication».«A culture is only great as its dreams, and
its dreams are dreamed by artists». Atotalitarian society «inhibits, suppresses,
or regiments its artists» and is therefore
«doomed»
Right: Hubbard in 1950
8/16/2019 Scientology and the Visual Arts
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scientology-and-the-visual-arts 15/57
Hubbard’s Aesthetics
! Hubbard noted that art was «the less codified of
human endeavors and therefore the most
misunderstood». And less a field is known, the more it isplagued by authoritarian pseudo-experts
! Hubbard defined art as communication. When the
thetan understands himself as the cause rather thanthe effect of the physical reality, he perceives the
world in a new way. If he masters the appropriatetechnique, he is also able to produce art with a very
high communication potential

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scientology-and-the-visual-arts 16/57
The Elusive Hubert Mathieu
! On what role technique exactly plays,
Hubbard mentioned in a bulletin of July 29,
1973 his discussions with «the late HubertMathieu». Although some who wrote
about Hubbard were unable to identifyhim, Mathieu (1897-1954, right) was a
distinguished South Dakota illustrator and
artist, who worked for magazines Hubbardwas familiar with
8/16/2019 Scientology and the Visual Arts

Interacting with the Audienc
! Perceiving the world and representingit from the superior viewpoint of the
thetan is not enough. One should beable to communicate this to the
audience, which however should beinvited to «contribute part of the
meaning». This is precisely the
difference between fine art and mereillustration, where little is left to the
audience’s own contribution
Right: L. Ron Hubbard, 1987

Color Wheels
!
Another common tool Hubbardrecommended to artists, the color wheel,
was promoted in his times throughreferences to market surveys, but in fact
had been first used in a different contextby Robert Fludd (1574-1637) and Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832). Like
many Theosophists – and marketresearchers –, Hubbard believed that
colors correspond to specific emotional
states

A Controversial Subject
!
However, Scientology’s influence on artistsis understudied. One of the reasons lies in
the attacks and discriminations artistshave received because of their
association with Scientology, particularlyin Germany. There, Bia Wunderer (Horizon,
right) is one of the artists who had
exhibitions cancelled because she was«exposed» as a Scientologist. This made
some artists understandably reluctant to
discuss their relationship with Scientology

Waki Zöllner (1935-2015)
! In Germany, of all places, artists were involved in Scientology since
beginnings. When he died in 2015, painter and sculptor Waki Zöllne
who had joined Scientology in 1968, was the German with more yeScientology training

Gottfried Helnwein
! The most famous international artist who took
Scientology courses for several years, starting in
1972, was the Austrian-born GottfriedHelnwein. He became increasingly involved in
Scientology’s activities, with all his family, andwas attacked by anti-cult critics, who
promoted even a book against him (right). Thisgenerated in turn court cases and Helnwein’sincreasing reluctance to discuss his religious
beliefs

The World as the Thetan Sees
! Helnwein’s unique style andapproach to reality – a
«photorealism» where paintings oftenlook as photographs (but aren’t) –
derive from multiple sources.Ultimately, however, we can perhaps
see in Helnwein’s works an attemptto depict the world as a thetan seesit, finally realizing he is its creator

Against Psychiatry
!
Criticizing psychiatry’s abuses is acause dear to Scientologists. In 1979,
leading Austrian psychiatrist HeinrichGross (1915-2005), who participated in
the Nazi program for the euthanasia ofmentally handicapped children,
defended himself by stating that
children were killed «in a humane way»
with poison. Helnwein reacted with afamous watercolor, «Lives unworthy of
being lived» (right), depicting a child«humanely» poisoned by Gross
8/16/2019 Scientology and the Visual Arts
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scientology-and-the-visual-arts 33/57
Helnwein, the Nazis, and the Holoca
! Helnwein also looked provocatively at Nazism and the Holocaust as an evil tAustrian society still refused to confront. In Epiphany I (1996), the child may o
young Adolf Hitler (1889-1945). Helnwein wants the audience, as Hubbard sucontribute part of the meaning and to understand by itself

Donald Duck as Metaphor
!
Barks, Helnwein wrote, created a «decentworld where one could get flattened by
steam-rollers and perforated by bullets withoutserious harm. A world in which the people still
looked proper (..). And it was here that I metthe man who would forever change my life – a
man who (…) is the only person today that has
something worthwhile saying – Donald Duck».
Perhaps, again, Barks’ Duckburg became ametaphor for Helnwein of the «clear» world
created by a technology capable of restoringthe thetans to their proper role

Different Styles
! Scientologist artists do notshare a single style – as is true
for artists who areTheosophists or Catholics.
German-born Carl-W. Röhrig(1953-), currently residing in
Switzerland, calls his art
«fantastic realism» and is alsoinfluenced by fantasy
literature, surrealism, and
popular esotericism (see hissuccessful deck of tarot
cards). In my interviews withseveral of them, however,
some common themes
emerged
8/16/2019 Scientology and the Visual Arts
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scientology-and-the-visual-arts 38/57
1. Scientology Themes! Röhrig is among the few Scientologist artists
who included explicit references to
Scientology doctrines in some of his paintings,including the Bridge (above), i.e. the journey
to become free from the effects of thereactive mind. Röhrig (mural in Malmoe,
below) and other artists, including PommHepner and Randy South (aka CarlRandolph), also contributed murals to
churches of Scientology around the world

Flag Building Sculptures
! 62 sculptures in the Grand AtriumFlag Building in Clearwater, Florid
in 2013, illustrates the fundamentScientology. The fact that these c
to be explained to the artists, nonScientologist, is significant. Artists
Scientologists normally are inspireScientology in their work, but pre«preach» or illustrate it explicitly
2. Art as Communication

3. Suppression
!
There is a difference between howScientologist artists were discriminated
in Europe and some mild hostility theirbeliefs received occasionally in the
U.S. However, they all stated in theinterviews that modern society is often
disturbed by artists and tries to
suppress them, singling out psychiatryas a main culprit. The Trick Cyclist by
Randy South (right) depicts well-known
psychiatrists and «was created to drawattention to the evil practice of
psychiatry»

! Some of those who took Scientology’s Artcourse were «commercial» artists. The
course told them that this is not a shameand hailed success as healthy. «I do not
believe in starving artists», says BarryShereshevsky (right). They believe that the
boundary between commercial and fine
art is not clear-cut. Some of them wereencouraged to also engage in fine arts

approach in his iconic posters, such asthe one of Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970)
