XenuIn confidential Scientology teachings, Xenu (or Xemu) is a space alien, ruler of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of people to Earth in DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Their souls then clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living; according to Scientology, they are the cause of many of our medical and mental problems. These events are known to Scientologists as Incident II, and the traumatic memories associated with them as The Wall of Fire or the R6 implant. The story of Xenu is part of a much wider range of Scientology teachings about extraterrestrial civilizations, collectively described as space opera by founder L. Ron Hubbard. |
