What is Scientology? Every six seconds someone searches that question online.

A precise path leading to a complete and certain understanding of one’s true spiritual nature

Developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is a religion that offers a precise path. And this leads 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.

Church of Scientology

Scientology addresses the spirit—not the body or mind. And we believe that Man is far more than a product of his environment. Or his genes.

Scientology Fundamental truths

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.

Man is basically good

Scientology further holds Man to be basically good. And his spiritual salvation depends upon himsel, and his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe.

It 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.

The ultimate goal

The ultimate goal of Scientology is true spiritual enlightenment and freedom for all.

Scientology Network

In a special episode on the launch of the Scientology Network, Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige said:

“You’ve probably heard of Scientology. In fact, every six seconds someone searches the question…There’s a lot of talk about us. And we get it. People are curious.

Well, we want to answer your questions, because, frankly, whatever you’ve heard, if you haven’t heard it from us, I can assure you, we are not what you expect.

“So, while I could tell you Scientology is new, our approach is new, our answers are new, and that Scientology is not just something you believe in, it’s something you do, well, I’m sure you would much rather see for yourself.

And that’s what the Scientology Network is all about. To show you inside Scientology, who we are, what Scientology is, and what Scientology can do.

Visit the Scientology Network for hundreds of programs that give in-depth answers to the question so many people are asking.
