WHAT IS THE STATE OF CLEAR?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By scientologyb

Clear is the name of a state achieved through auditing and describes a being who no longer has his own reactive mind, the hidden source of irrational behavior, unreasonable fears, upsets and insecurities. Without a reactive mind, individuals regain their basic personality, self-determinism and, in essence, become much, much more themselves. The full glory of the state of Clear has no comparable description in any writings existing in our culture. It is a goal Man has dreamed of achieving for more than... Read more

HOW IS THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY STRUCTURED?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By scientologyb

The Church of Scientology is formed into an ecclesiastical structure which unifies and aligns a multitude of diverse religious activities, including not only ministering Scientology religious services and practices, but proselytization, ecclesiastical management, relay of communication, production of dissemination materials and many other functions. Thus the Scientology religious community is united both by common beliefs and practices and an organizational form uniquely suited to its religious mission. At the lower levels of this hierarchy are individual field ministers, Scientology religious... Read more

What is Scientology’s View on Drugs and Medicine?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By scientologyb

Scientologists do use prescribed medical drugs when physically ill and also rely on the advice and treatment of medical doctors. Scientologists do not take street drugs or mind-altering psychotropic drugs. They consider drugs cause extremely damaging effects on a person—physically, mentally and spiritually. Specifically, that drugs decrease awareness and hinder abilities. They are a “solution” to some other problem, but ultimately prove an even bigger problem. Mr. Hubbard developed an entire body of technology to enable individuals to recover from... Read more

What are the fundamental practices of the Scientology religion?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By scientologyb

Although the purely philosophical aspects of L. Ron Hubbard’s works are sufficient in themselves to apply in everyday existence, only auditing provides a precise route by which individuals may travel to higher states of spiritual awareness. 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. Obviously, both are necessary for an individual to achieve his full spiritual potential. Auditing, then, deletes life’s painful... Read more

How Does Scientology View Mankind’s Relationship with the Universe?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By scientologyb

Because the fundamentals upon which Scientology rests embrace all aspects of life, certain key principles can be broadly employed to improve any condition. Scientologists use these principles in their daily lives and their use alone can often make the difference between success and failure. Moreover, the principles greatly clarify what is so often confusing and bewildering. Suppose, for example, life could be correctly compartmentalized so that its many activities, often confused and blurred, could suddenly assume a new clarity? Suppose,... Read more

How does Scientology compare with other faiths?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By scientologyb

While Scientology shares much in common with other religions as regards basic religious concepts and a mandate to improve society, the most valuable asset Scientology offers is an actual technology for achieving greater spiritual awareness. Moreover, while many religions promise salvation in the hereafter, Scientology offers certainty of eternal salvation now. Then, too, Scientology makes it possible for any religion to attain its goals and is therefore a religion of religions. Read more

Political Resolutions

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By cheryllduncan

Not too far into the New Year to formulate some resolutions. One of mine—yet unspoken—is to cool it on politics. I’m actually quite interested in the subject, but also find it completely maddening…that some people…could…AAUUUGGGHHHH! OK, I’ll try that again. Sometimes it surprises me that politicians get away with saying certain things that are so obviously false and that the media reports things that are so obviously false, but no one ever seems to call people on it. And it... Read more
