After extensive study, I've finally found the true root of the Prison Planet Cult. I'm talking about Scientology, of course. This whole story has nothing to do with Gnosticism or anything else; all this stuff is just borrowed to give a semblance of authority and seriousness. I'm not saying that Prison Planet followers are masked Scientologists, but that, innocently and unknowingly, they preach the gospel of Scientology, becoming the "useful idiots" who fertilize the ground for someone else.

I want to make one thing clear right away. The mission of Scientology in our historical period has become the modification of human perception. Once collective perception is altered, the ground is fertile for propagating certain ideas. The fundamental problem, in an Arimanic sense, is that all this perception modification transforms spiritual experience and perverts it into something material.

It's incredible how all these paranoid terms like "Soul Recycling Machine," "Tunnel Light of Reincarnation," and who knows how many others come DIRECTLY from Scientology.

Digging a bit into interviews with ex-Scientologists, they state that the tunnel of light concept was taught to them by Scientologists (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PZrP5fznAA at 15:28).

What Ahrimanic Means

In Rudolf Steiner’s terminology, Ahrimanic refers to forces that pull human consciousness toward excessive materialism, reductionism, and the loss of spiritual perception. Ahrimanic impulses try to harden, solidify, or mechanize spiritual truths—turning living spiritual realities into rigid, literal, or technological interpretations.

This concept fits perfectly here, because the entire Scientology‑derived cosmology transforms spiritual ideas (soul, angels, afterlife, destiny, karma) into material machinery (aliens, implants, genetic manipulation, soul‑recycling devices, lunar traps). It is the precise shift from the spiritual to the mechanical that Steiner would call Ahrimanic.

It is also what René Guénon defines as “Counter-Initiation,” the perversion and tampering with original spiritual meanings. The original meaning becomes a parody.

Crypto-Scientologists

We need to realize that figures celebrated by Prison Planet propagators are actually Crypto-Scientologists. People who spread concepts, ideas, and narrative structures that come directly from Hubbard and Scientology. Crypto means "hidden/unaware/undeclared."

In this extremely materialistic historical period, these concepts easily take hold in the psyches of ordinary people who stumble upon this information online, sometimes even accidentally, and become prey for these cultist ideas. These seeds, which the victims themselves later spread everywhere, are exactly what we've seen in many subreddits where they propagate the "new gospel" to the masses because "everyone must know the truth," "everyone must talk about it." Did you noticed it?

In practice, what is commonly propagated by Prison Planet adherents is OT III of Scientology repackaged.

Figures like David Icke, Zacharia Sitchin, Mauro Biglino, Corrado Malanga are Crypto-Scientologists because they propagate exactly what Scientology says without being part of it.

This is where the mission of Scientology and Hubbard's master, Alistair Crowley in the work of global diversion, is clearly seen:

  • David Icke has the idea of the Tunnel Light and the Moon Recycler Machine that comes from Scientology.
  • Zacharia Sitchin and Mauro Biglino (the latter immediately taking over after Sitchin's death) have the idea that the Annunaki/Elohim (aliens) genetically manipulated humans, theories that coincide with Hubbard’s alien geneticists; everything about us is an alien imposition.
  • Corrado Malanga claims he did hypnosis and found "aliens" that infect the human brain and control our actions—exactly what Hubbard says with thetans influencing our bodies. Lately, he has also started preaching the tunnel light theory.

They all share the same root: Scientology. There is nothing original in what they teach; just claiming they made ''discoveries"

At this point, we no longer call Scientology a religion but a material impulse that modifies human perceptions. Scientology is just a mask. People like David Icke, Zacharia Sitchin, etc., are doing the work of diversion without even knowing it. People like Icke even claim to have been "elected"—yeah! By demonic entities!
Mixing a few truths among hundreds of lies is not good faith. The fact that he claims to have been chosen by benevolent entities but simultaneously accuses others who contact benevolent entities of communicating with reptilians or demon deceivers who intend to mislead is pure bad faith (Remember, David Icke appears to have a net worth of $10,000,000 and that he sells tea cup and shirts and supplements with his own name.).

A quarter of the truth hidden in a lie is worse than a complete lie. This is what we would call the Ahrimanic work: the solidification of the spiritual world, where angels become aliens, and the physical world becomes a simulation.

For clarifications regarding angels becoming alien entities and the Moon, I recommend Gigi Young's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUp1_pvcMSQ.

When fear is used, it's difficult to think clearly, so one becomes prey to negative impulses and easily manipulable. This is exactly what is being done.

  • This makes a lot of sense ~ it explains some of the sneakiness of some posters in quietly including fearmongering in otherwise innocuous comments.

    They all repeat the same script. The ''new findings'' are just cognitive bias.

    I Myself I was firstly exposed to this stuff by a guy that was hosted by a woman I was following on youtube. The title was ''The scam of reincarnation''. So, I was thinking that the video wanted to disprove reincarnation, but in fact it was promoting it, following all the repertoire of mantras that you can find in their religion. Of course the guest of the video made the same video in dozens of different channels as a guest to promote not the theory itself, but the book he wrote! Very disgusting individual, very fear mongering cult.

    Yeah I got him a lot of times too. I don’t even need to open the file to remember who he was. It’s funny that he says “I’m not sure if it’s PP” but what he does is just trying to convince people of this and propagate the same identic thing over and over again on dozens of dfferent subreddits. I don’t think I have seen him posting something different except that. 

    As you said, Pre-Birth hypnosis doesn’t fit with their theory, because they emphatize on the fact that evil entities RESET your memory to zero, so that means there shouldn’t be memories left. (And this is interesting, they enfatize this because they are self identified eith the body instead of the I, and this is one of the greatest error of life, thinking you are just your body and your memories). The fact that they use hypnosis to fuel their propaganda show how they suffer from cognitive dissonance, like the flat earthers that wants to colonize Mars.

    Personally I’m not a fan of Hypnosis because for what we know the hypnotist can influence the Hypnotized a lot. The perfect example is the dude that tried to find aliens on people under hypnosis and considering that both the hypnotist and the hypnotized believe they are possessed by aliens, what do you expect the result to be.

    this is a good point ty

  • First Google Hit:

    The "prison planet" theory is a Scientology concept positing that Earth is a prison for immortal spiritual beings called "thetans," who were brought to Earth by the alien overlord Xenu billions of years ago. According to this doctrine, thetans have been trapped in physical bodies through successive reincarnations, and the goal of Scientology is to help individuals become "clear" of negative influences and eventually regain their full spiritual power

  • I honestly thought they were dabbling with Sethian Gnosticism and since it was the same playground, L Ron Hubbard ripped that off.
    Him, Gene Roddenberry and Jack Parsons were in a cult together, and I figured the two sources were the Sethian brand of Gnosticism and Crowley, and from ripping off those two works, you ended up with the prison planet lore.
    It has many parallels to Bhuddism, which is the prison planet antithesis to Hinduism.
    Wake up from Samsara, you are Brahma.
    I had assumed that Scientology was just a watered down 20th century version from some very old ideas, from a very unimaginative science fiction author.

  • Thank You for the Research

  • Hey OP, and this sub, thanks a lot for this.

    I still am admittedly worried about this recycling of my soul, and going into the light, and false religions set up to imprison us .... And someone who's recently rediscovered their faith in Christ, and who believes he's helped me get sober the last 3 years, reading about this theory really troubled me. And still does. I hate this idea. Absolutely hate it. It had/has me questioning Christ, let alone God.

    I'm glad I found this sub.

  • To be fair, some of the aspects of Scientology come from research of metaphysical concepts. The tunnel of light isn’t something Scientology made up, it’s something frequently reported by people having Near Death Experiences: https://near-death.com/tunnel/

    Some of the other components you mentioned likewise come from people’s anecdotal anomalous contact experiences outside of Scientology or PP, including discussion of implants, aliens, etc. The problem is fundamentally the narratives built to explain these experiences, as the narratives themselves only align with a tiny percentage of reported experiences (outliers), and only account for the other experiences by claiming that they’re lies.

    I was referring about the Tunnel Light as PP reincarnation tunnel. As it’s explained in the video, it fits the PP narrative, in fact it’s identic. Since I claimed that Scientology is a tool of deception and that is doing a great work, even the symbol of the “tunnel” need to be subverted in a negative way.

    We do not know how external imagery can influence our perception of things. Even the famous "gray alien" was first manifested by Crowley, Hubbard master, in the form of a LAM Entity.  For me Crowley was abducted by lower entities that just work to decept humanity. If you investigate the Golden Dawn, and that great Man of Wiliam Butler Yeats, he was disgusted by Crowley in every aspect.

    Even all the stuff as manifesting, transurfing, ecc, comes from Crowley philosophy:

    “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law”

    Interesting. The spiritual entities I communicate with are all shamanic, animal, mythological, angelic ~ I have never met any aliens, no orbs of light.

    But then, my most recent past lives have been Amazonian, semi-ancient / "medieval" China, from the flashes I have recalled thus far, which might account for how my experiences manifest.
