标题: 《Going Clear》作者：Lawrence Wright【EPUB】
For "Going Clear: Scientology,Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief," Lawrence Wright borrows the title ofhis new book directly from the terminology of Scientology. "Going clear" means to achieve astate of mental purity and clarity as a result of the "auditing" process; itrepresents the first plateau in a long and arduous series of steps ultimatelyleading, if Scientology's claims are to be believed, to spiritual enlightenmentand superhuman powers.

Nonetheless, it is hard to see the title as anything but ironic. Almostnothing having to do with Scientology, it seems, is straightforward or clear. As a result ofdecades of external criticism and internal power struggles, it is difficult tofind a claim made by, on behalf of, or about the Church of Scientology thatisn't contested by some church representative, unaffiliated critic ordisaffected former member.
