[edit] How Did the Corporation of Scientology Start?

The first official Corporation of Scientology was founded by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard in 1953 in the city of Camden, New Jersey. He was assisted by his wife, Mary Sue, and several other of his disciples. By that point, however, the belief system had already been largely developed. The founding of said beliefs can be traced to up to three years previously, to the publication of Dianetics.

The Corporation is founded on a set of beliefs about mind, body, and spirit that are referred to collectively as Scientology. This set of beliefs contains large elements of Hubbard’s previous self-help regimen, Dianetics, which had enjoyed sizable commercial success when published in 1950.[1]

L Ron Hubbard believed himself a messiah[2] as sourced from a book he wrote, Hymn of Asia, that was a text for cults around the world.
