The dialogue.
In the trailer, _____'s character, Cypher, tells his son, Kitai, "Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you
create. … Danger is very real. But fear is a choice." A condensed version of that line has been used in the
film's marketing. That notion corresponds with Scientology beliefs that negative thoughts are the products
of traumatic collective memories. Overcoming fear and doubt -- i.e. becoming "clear" -- is the central tenet
of Scientology.
The volcano itself.
A volcano, a central image in the religion, has graced the cover of Dianetics for years. In A's trailer, one

Although S was originally a part of the IPC, as drafted
by Thomas Macaulay, it was bizarrely dropped from
