Will Smith — One of a Kind

Will Smith - One of a Kind

(The Actor and Rapper Talks About Scientology, Tom Cruise and His Career)

I must say that if there is one actor I like most in Hollywood, it must be Will Smith. Not only is he a great actor and proven rapper, but he is a man of style, class and family values. So, when he comes out with something new, hey, I’m interested.

Will Smith was just featured on the cover of Men’s Vogue (”Prince Becomes King“) and his film “I Am Legend” is already topping $250 million in the box office. Will Smith is one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.

In the Men’s Vogue article, Will Smith speaks of Tom Cruise (his buddy) and Tom’s religion, Scientology. The article says:

“Smith’s power marriage has begotten some power friendships, most notably with newlyweirds Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. “That’s my man right there,” says Smith. “We push one another to be better. We both homeschool our children, and there’s a comprehension of what each of us goes through that everybody else can’t understand, that’s a really unique position that less than .0001 percent of people on earth will ever experience.“

It is through Cruise that Smith—a polymath in a town of pedants—is learning about Scientology, and if there’s anyone in the world who can make L. Ron Hubbard’s universe sound less spooky, it’s Will Smith. “I studied Islam for Ali, I grew up in a Baptist household, I went to a Catholic school,” he reasons. “I’ve studied Buddhism and Hinduism and I’ve studied Scientology through Tom. And nobody’s saying anything different! Look, I use the Bible to explain the ideas of God, and life, and love, and relationships, and the life of Jesus Christ to teach my children how to defend their spirit. But in all of the experiences I’ve had with Tom and Scientology, like, 98 percent of the principles are identical to the principles of the Bible. The Bible says, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. And you know, there’s a Scientology principle: Do not create experiences for others that they cannot comfortably perceive.” Smith would rather stroll many paths to enlightenment than commit to one high road. “The Bible talks about your spirit being immortal, that you were created for existence beyond your physical body. Well, that’s no different from Scientology! I don’t think that because the word someone uses for spirit is thetan that the definition becomes any different.”

I believe it is important to respect the religious beliefs of others too. This too is a concept with L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology promotes. Check out this short clip on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5POLgGqlxuA.
