Several weeks ago, our old friend Andreas Heldal-Lund messaged us with some unpleasant news. A tumor in his brain turns out to be a particularly aggressive form of cancer. He has been told he has another year or two, depending on how treatments go. In recent days, Andreas has been making the news known to the public at his Instagram and Facebook accounts, and we told him that we would inform our readers that while he’s facing the end of his life, he’s doing so with a class and dignity and yes, even good humor, that is completely consistent with who he is and has been.
My dearest Andreas helped save my life! His statement to me that cracked open my personal "Scio-Truman show" was:
"I believe in truth. I believe in looking at both sides. And I have the courage to say what I think. I don't think Scientologists are bad. I just think they are misinformed. I suggest you start reading."
I was reading self help books, philosophy, etc for 10 years...but never anything against scientology. So with that, I pulled up my bootstraps and began reading one article. "Ladies, if you are thinking of joining the Sea Org, read this". I read it, by Mary Tabiyoian (sp?).
It was all about enforced abortions, of which I knew nothing. I cried for 4 hours. That was the beginning for me. I knew I could not support that group any longer. 🌹
As I asked him back in 2000:
"Can I come rest in your heart?"
He said "yes"....he has/is a true friend,ever since. 💘🙂🤟💙🌹
Andreas stuck his neck out for something that did not apparently concern him, and he stuck with it. The work going into building an Internet institution like Xenu.net is huge and that achievement is one of many things that will live on. The effectiveness of kindness without necessarily excessive softness is another.
I was happy to meet Andreas back in the protesting days, and I hope that he will find good experiences in the time to come.
The Scientology secret upper theory, about the bad karma leaking from invisible surplus souls which infest all humans, and leak their bad karma (Xenu's implanted bad bad nutty ideas) into all humans' minds, and requiring the Hubbard Scientology OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 exorcism Hubbard steps, is critical info for anyone to learn, to put Scientology "rituals" into the open to even judge what Scientology is.
It is no light issue, it's a critical issue, what the 1990s era internet pioneers did, getting the upper Scientology theory into the public. That truly is the only way to step back and even see what Scientology is.
The secret theory explains why Scientology does so much exorcism, the OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 exorcism secret steps, of Scientology, are all due to the secret "OT 3 story".
Xenu dumped mentally super damaged (implanted with the Hubbard theorized R6 implants) onto earth, and these surplus ("body-thetans") souls infest everyone on earth, and only the upper Scientologsits learn this important info.
It's vital info to even grade and judge and understand what Scientology's upper levels are doing.
A whole bunch of secret exorcism, to rid themselves of Xenu's dumping of "body-thetans" which all the implanting (bad karma) which Xenu implanted on all of them.
Outside academics never ever succinctly summarized Scientology, as no academics have to date understood how vital this above summary info is.
So, in truth, Andreas Heldal-Lund, has factually done more (as with the other 1990s internet critics, Dennis Erlich, Arnie Lerma and the never in non-Scientologists who are legend), to permanently make the upper theory available, to even understand, simply, what Scientology supposedly thinks they are doing.
That's groundbreaking stuff, so thankyou eternally Andreas Heldal-Lund.
I never knew this stuff, since all my 27 years in Scientology, I never reached the OT 3 and above secret theory, and thankfully found this info on the internet.
It is kind of the square zero level of understanding about Scientology, which it seems only outsiders are capable of making this information available, since Scientologists are taught not to reveal the Xenu and surplus souls (body-thetans) theory.
Facing mortality head on, what else would we expect of him? He has left a legacy of compassion and education that will live on forever. It is my sincere desire that his name echo in the halls of history as more and more people escape and that his final days or years, however many are left, are filled with love.
I’m heartbroken. Andreas is one of the best humans I’ve come across in my decades on the internet. That he’s facing his death with such grace is no surprise. My love to him, Peng, and all who care for him.
I just saw this. I'm sad. As a Scientology watcher (never in) for decades, his site was a treasure trove and the only source of credible info for many years - at least until Tony showed up on the scene. I poured over that site. I swear I read every word. I wish Andreas peace, comfort and love.

I "liked" this story although it makes me sad.

So sorry to hear this. What you say is so true.
