Tom Cruise is selling his home and moving into Scientology’s sprawling UK headquarters.
According to a recent report, Tom Cruise may move there after he sells his house in London that he and Katie Holmes, his former wife, had purchased. Incidentally, Scientology was conceptualized as a new religion way back in 1954, and since then, it has been surrounded with rumors and controversies.
According to the Daily Mail, Cruise is planning to build a spa and restaurant on the 100-acre Saint Hill Manor site.
“Tom is relocating to England and uses the Scientology manor as his base,” a source told the Daily Mail Online.
“It’s the highest recognition to live where L Ron Hubbard did, and [David] Miscavige [the Church’s leader] clearly believes giving Tom this access will keep his faith in the Church for decades to come.”
The source added that Cruise and his fellow believers think the Church could be “as influential as the [British] Royal family.”
Scientology purports to give the believer a complete and total understanding of “ones true spiritual nature.” However, in order to access the highest levels of the church, staggering payments are required and many of the Church’s key figures are notably rich and famous, including actor Will Smith and his family.
As well as providing for the wealthy, members of the Church are skeptical of modern medicine and believe in cleansing one’s own spirit.
A local Sussex rugby club director, who was invited to a Scientology gala, told the Daily Mail of his experience.
“In the conference they kept being critical about psychologists, it was very anti-drugs, anti-medicine,” he said.
“There was bottomless champagne. I was introduced to Tom, he made a lot of effort and we spoke about sports for the most of it.”
