自由地带 (山达基)
自由地带(英语:Free Zone)泛指独立于山达基教会之外而实践山达基信仰的各种团体、组织和个人的总称,相当于山达基的宗教改革派。这些实践者包括那些严格遵循山达基创始人L·罗恩·贺伯特的最原始教义的人,以及那些采取远离山达基教会实践的山达基人。

这个通用名称得名于“国际自由地带协会”(International Freezone Association),尽管它并不是第一个独立的山达基信仰团体。“加州戴尼提听析员协会”(California Association of Dianetic Auditors)是现存最古老的独立组织[1],据称其成立日期为1950年12 月,早于山达基教会[2]。
《怀疑论者》杂志(Skeptic)将自由地带描述为:“一个由前山达基教徒创立的团体,旨在独立于山达基教会来推广L·罗恩·贺伯特的思想”[3]。《迈阿密先锋报》的一篇文章写道,前山达基教徒加入自由地带是因为他们认为山达基教会的领导层“偏离了贺伯特最初的教义”[4]。
与山达基教会的比较
根据宗教学者阿莱德·托马斯(Aled Thomas)所说的,自由地带的关键在于有著“基本上不受监管和没有等级制度的环境”[5]:2。独立山达基人对山达基也有著许多不同的解释[5]:ix。
德国汉堡内务局山达基工作组专员乌苏拉·卡贝塔(Ursula Caberta)认为自由地带是一种“山达基人的美沙酮计划”,但无论如何“两害相权取其轻”[6]。据自由地带组织罗恩机构(Ron's Org)称,巴登-符腾堡州的宪法保护办公室表示,没有必要对罗恩机构进行监控,“因为罗恩机构并非山达基教会一部分,没有反宪法的目的”。罗恩机构的成员与观察并调查山达基教会活动的当局部门之间存在一些合作[7]。
历史
山达基的宗教分裂主要开始于1982年宗教技术中心的创立,这场政治权力斗争使得许多前教会高层被驱逐出教会,而大卫·密斯凯维吉最终胜出[9]。最有名的前高层人员是贺伯特本人的听析员——大卫·梅约(David Mayo)[10]。宗教技术中心代表教会宣布他为“压抑者”(危害山达基的人),在海洋机构内通过跑程序(Running program)体罚他,他最终逃脱并在1982年建立了“高级能力中心”(Advanced Ability Center)[11]:99-101[12]:36-7。该组织非常成功,但教会开始不断骚扰诬告并最终使其在1986年破产[13][14]:168–169。
