The striking disconnect between L. Ron Hubbard's vision and David Miscavige's implementation of the "Ideal Org" program stands at the heart of Scientology's current struggles. This eye-opening exploration takes you through Data Series 40 – Hubbard's detailed blueprint for what Scientology organizations should ideally be – and contrasts it with the troubling reality found in today's corporate Church.

When Hubbard wrote about organizations where "people came to achieve freedom and where they had confidence they would attain it," he created a roadmap for spiritual centers focused on helping humanity. What exists today instead appears to be something quite different – a real estate empire where buildings purchased with parishioner donations then charge rent to the very organizations they house, extracting money before staff get paid.

The evidence of this deviation appears throughout the contemporary Church. Technical materials have been altered or removed entirely, with cornerstone courses like the Class 8 Course and Saint Hill Special Briefing Course no longer delivered. Staff members struggle financially rather than being "well paid" as Hubbard intended. Most tellingly, the buildings themselves often sit nearly empty – sardonically nicknamed "Ideal Morgues" by former members.

Perhaps most damaging has been the collapse of public relations area control, which Hubbard specified should be "such that no one would dream of threatening it." Instead, Scientology faces widespread criticism and former member testimony, becoming what's described as "the fastest shrinking religion on the planet."

For those interested in Scientology's spiritual technology, understanding this divergence provides crucial context. It explains why many dedicated Scientologists have moved to independent practice while maintaining their commitment to Hubbard's original teachings. By comparing vision with reality through the analytical tools Hubbard himself provided, we gain clarity on both what Scientology was meant to be and how dramatically it has changed under current management.

Explore the unaltered materials and judge for yourself – remember Hubbard's advice: "Look, don't listen."
