Our helper who tracks down old newspaper clippings about Scientology sent us a real classic this week, something we haven’t seen in a while. It’s one of the most epic journalistic exposes in Scientology’s history, and one that every serious Scientology watcher should have a copy of — Alex Mitchell’s 1969 Sunday Times of London piece that revealed L. Ron Hubbard’s involvement with rocket scientist Jack Parsons and their 1946 sex magick rituals which Parsons referred to as “The Babalon Working” experiments. Today, it’s one of those things we take for granted, that Hubbard and his Pasadena pal spent 1946 turning the ideas of English occultist Aleister Crowley into a series of odd rituals in pursuit of a “moonchild.” But it was an Australian journalist, Mitchell, who first brought that information to the world in a piece that still holds up very well. We had the pleasure of meeting Alex in Sydney on our book tour in 2015. Journalists Steve Cannane and Bryan Seymour included Mitchell in our appearance at the Giant Dwarf in a sold out show. Mitchell told a hilarious story about the time he was so determined to get an interview with Hubbard, he followed him into the toilet at a Moroccan restaurant and tried to question him while the Commmodore was at a urinal taking a whizz. Talk about dedication. And that’s why Mitchell produced a series of big scoops on Scientology at the time. So we thought we’d pay him homage and give our thanks to all of the great journalists who have worked so hard to get stories out of this secretive group. We dropped him a line, asking him to introduce for us his classic piece. Here’s what he sent us… Poster Comment: This little nugget shared at another site where a Scientology discussion is ongoing. You have to go to the site linked to read the original expose from 1969.

I read some stuff about that Babalon working thing - apparently Parsons and Hubbard were trying to conjure up demons or one particular demon or Mother Goddess called Babalon. From what I recall, they were successful in opening a portal to another dimension. Some seriously spooky stuff if you want to research it. As far as Scientology, I watched a documentary by Leah Remini, the actress who is a former Scientologist and is now working to get others out of the cult. According to her, since John Travolta holds the position of Khakhan, he could “basically kill” another human being if he wanted to. Kinda like Freemasons I suppose.
You are so gullible. It's painful to observe. There are no portals to other dimensions. And crackpot cult leaders like Hubbard would have no idea how to open one if there was such a thing.
Ouija boards are just one example. And crackpot cult leaders like Hubbard would have no idea how to open one if there was such a thing. Apparently he did.
Moses, smell the roses.

Yeah - I figured a one-dimensional thinker such as yourself might be skeptical of multi-dimensional realities.

There are no portals to other dimensions.
"The [Babalon] Working began in 1945-46, a few
months before Crowley's death in 1947, and just
prior to the wave of unexplained aerial phenomena
now recalled as the 'Great Flying Saucer Flap'...
Parsons opened a door and something flew in.
"A Gateway for the Great Old Ones has already been
established -- and opened -- by members of the O.T.O.
who are en rapport with this entity [Lam, an extra-
terrestrial being whom Crowley supposedly contacted
while in America in 1919]."
-Kenneth Grant, O.T.O
Here's a portrait of "LAM" whom Crowley drew back in 1919. 
This being, who is considered as belonging to a race rather than a separate individual entity among the O.T.O and other occultists (most notably the offshoot "Cult of Lam"), bears a striking resemblance to the infamous Grey aliens allegedly working with the secret governments here on Earth. The theory is that Crowley first made contact back in 1919 through a series of rituals called the The Amalantrah Workings. Jack Parsons of jet propulsion science fame, was also a member of the O.T.O and subsequently, he practiced a form of rituals called The Babalon Working which not only reopened the portal Crowley sealed years prior, but ripped a open bigger tear in the interdimensional or space time fabric. A tear in which closure was not a option due to inadequate knowledge or careless neglect unlike Crowley. The Babalon Working is patterned after the Amalantrah Working and both involved elaborate use of what they termed "sex magik",
