in a nutshell yes. the galactic warlord Xenu captured evil spirits and flew them over to earth, where he stuffed them in volcanoes near populated areas and blew them the fuck up, at which point they took up residence in the life forms surrounding said volcanoes (the humans!)
apparently modern scientologists don't tend to believe this anymore and the active support of this story was abolished in the late 80's. BUT THIS WAS L RON'S ORIGINAL STORY! Apparently it's cool to believe their cult/religion is still right adn all knowing even after the abolish the premise behind the entire belief system as a sham. keep in mind that before he was a successful prophet of xenu, he was a failed science fiction writer and inventor. the e-meter they use to read your thetan levels or whatever the fuck it is, well apparently l. ron applied for a patent for it when he stated it was a device for curing cancer or some ridiculous shit. the guy was schizophrenic, and many people criticized him as dangerous, schizo, and out to manipulate those in a weak mental state in the early days of scientology. which makes perfect sense as to why scientology sees psychiatry as an enemy and something to be discredited.
