I was looking for information that would shed light on some of the philosophical and mythological back round from my upbringing. Strange a lot of my father's beliefs and views and those of his "best friend" are very similar to some of what you find in Scientology. The Free Zone was created after some sort of schism in the CoS. Free Zone:
"A ZONE, or area, where spiritual awareness may be
pursued FREE of outside or disruptive forces
As would be expected, quite a few individuals have hijacked the Free Zone term and completely redefined it’s purpose and intent to be more in line with their own selfish ends - spiritual commerce. This commerce now includes anything that can be sold, any personal philosophy or belief, whether for personal power or the power of the mighty dollar. As for the Scientology philosophy, these people are much more interested in selling their products than they are in achieving Spiritual Freedom. "
Supposedly founded by: "Captain Bill Robertson, a loyal follower of L. Ron Hubbard and of the Scientology religion and philosophy, to create an awareness that spiritual freedom can not be attended to while one’s attention is fixated on those who would oppose such freedom."

Interest in personalities, characteristcs, traits or any other self-definition remains a moot point. These are but playthings, to be used and abused. There is no interest here in that."
"Spirituality has to do with our selves, as we are, completely and totally. This appears as something which is dificult to achieve but don’t worry, illusion is everywhere where the mind looks. So the answer is to stop looking and start seeing."
