Great Story about Tom Cruise and Scientology Silent Birth

According to the tenets of Scientology, known as Dianetics, words - even loving ones - spoken during birth and other painful times are recorded by the "reactive mind," or subconscious. Those memories, adherents feel, can eventually trigger problems for mother and child.

What the doctrine doesn’t say is that labouring moms can’t make some noise during delivery.

"We’re not going for absolute silence," said self-professed "Scientology mom" Michelle Seward. "If a sound is made, that’s OK."

After years studying the faith, established in 1950 by fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, Seward went the silent route for the birth of her son, Sage, five years ago.>> more

 There’s been so much false information being spread on the Net, it’s good to finally see some accurate reporting, as in this story.

 The article goes on to say:

Actress Anne Archer, a Scientologist for 30 years, called the recent speculation about silent birth "ridiculous."

"We just want to keep the environment as calm, quiet and loving as possible," she said. "Any culture in the world would understand that and any woman who’s given birth would understand that."

Scientology doesn’t dictate where babies should be born or whether drugs can be used, she said.

Quiet birth "supplements whatever medical model the mother chooses," said Karin Pouw, a spokeswoman for the Church of Scientology International.
