Dianetics and Scientology
What is Dianetics ?
DIANETICS:
Understanding the mind.
Dianetics is a methodology which can help alleviate unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses (illnesses caused or aggravated by mental stress).
Dianetics: dia (Greek) through, nous (Greek) mind or soul.
It is most accurately described as what the soul is doing to the body through the mind.
Not only was it considered that Man’s ability could not be improved, but it also was believed that with the formation of his cerebral cortex, his personality was likewise irrevocably established.
These theories were, however, inaccurate and as a consequence science has never evolved a workable theory of the mind nor a means to resolve problems of the mind.
L. Ron Hubbard changed all that with:
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health .
Its publication in 1950 marks a watershed in the history of Man’s quest for a true understanding of himself.
Like Scientology, Dianetics rests on basic principles, easily learned, clearly demonstrated as true and every bit as valid today as when they were first released in 1950.
"The Goal of Dianetics is the State of Clear."
What is Scientology ?
The ultimate goal of Scientology is true spiritual enlightenment and freedom for all.
What is Scientology auditing?
Auditing means the one who listens and uses the technology of Scientology to help the person.
Life Repairs are a series of steps using processes. Processes are: exact sets of questions asked or directions given by an auditor (the practitioner) to help a person locate areas of spiritual distress, find out things about themselves and improve their condition.
The goal of auditing is to restore beingness and ability. This is accomplished by: (1) helping individuals rid themselves of any spiritual disabilities; (2) increasing spiritual abilities.
Scientology addresses the spirit—not the body or mind—and believes that Man is far more than a product of his environment, or his genes.
Scientology comprises a body of knowledge which extends from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these are:
- Man is an immortal spiritual being.
- His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime.
- His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized.
Scientology is not a dogmatic religion in which one is asked to accept anything on faith alone. On the contrary, one discovers for oneself that the principles of Scientology are true by applying its principles and observing or experiencing the results.
Developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is a religious applied philosophy that offers a precise path leading to a complete and certain understanding of one’s true spiritual nature and one’s relationship to self, family, groups, Mankind, all life forms, the material universe, the spiritual universe and the Supreme Being.
