Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard claimed to have had a near-death experience in 1938 that inspired him to write ''Excalibur'', an unpublished manuscript based on the revelations from the experience. In 1945, Hubbard joined Aleister Crowley's magical order Ordo Templi Orientis. In 1950, he published ''Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health'', and in 1953 he organized the Church of Scientology. The occult (from the Latin word ''occultus'' "clandestine, hidden, secret") is "knowledge of the hidden".〔Crabb, G. (1927). ''English synonyms explained, in alphabetical order, copious illustrations and examples drawn from the best writers''. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Co.〕 In common English usage, ''occult'' refers to "knowledge of the paranormal",.〔Underhill, E. (1911). ''Mysticism'', Meridian, New York.〕 It also describes a number of magical organizations or orders. ==Hubbard's early interest in the occult== Hubbard's eldest son, Ronald DeWolf, related a story that L. Ron Hubbard had "first discovered Magick" at the age of sixteen when he read Aliester Crowley's The Book of the Law. Author Jon Atack reports that Hubbard joined the Rosicrucian order Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC) in 1940, completing the first two neophyte degrees. According to Atack, Hubbard's membership lapsed on July 5, 1940.〔http://www.spaink.net/cos/essays/atack_occult.html〕〔http://www.american-buddha.com/cult.pieceofbluesky.2.3.htm〕
