This machine had a childlike personality and was feared by the natives of the planet. In order to keep herself amused, she created the Replicators which were to be her toys. As the population of the world grew more fearful of Reese and the Replicators, she began to teach the machines to protect her and themselves. In order to accomplish this, they began the process of self replication. The Replicators grew too large in number, and Reese herself began to lose the ability to control them.

At a system level, every church is a separate corporate entity set up as a licensed franchise and has its own board of directors and executives.

Scientology teaches that people are immortal spiritual beings who have forgotten their true nature. Scientology's central mythology developed around the original notion of the thetan. In Scientology, the thetan is the individual expression of \"theta\",  described as \"the cosmic source and life force\". The thetan is the true human identity, rendering humans as \"pure spirit and godlike\". The religion's mythology holds the belief that \"in the primordial past, thetans applied their creative abilities to form the physical universe\".

Scientology holds that \"the universe was created by theta in the form of individualized expressions\"."
