THIS IS SCIENTOLOGY
1. What is true for you is what you yourself observe to be true.
2. Man is his spirit not his mind or his body.
3. The spirit creates his own mind. Please, do not confuse the mind
with the brain that is a physical thing. The mind is composed of mental
image pictures as explained in Dianetics. These pictures serve the
spirit to give him knowledge and experience. These pictures are
composed of energy. The energy in the picture can affect the spirit.
You can feel better by remembering something that you like or angry by
remembering something else. These emotions are actually energy waves
emanated by the picture. You can actually feel pain by remembering a
pain memory. Sometimes these pictures are accompanied by ideas or
considerations. Lets suppose that you father beat you mom up in front
of you. Your father was the dominating figure so you might conclude
that you have to act like your father in some situations. This is what
we call on Scientology an aberration (a conclusion that is imposed to
you by a mental picture). This picture is what we call a engram (a pain
memory that affects your judgment and free will).
4. You can discharge the energy in these pictures through
communication. This is Dianetics Auditing and is the oldest of hundreds
of Scientology techniques used to improve the individual.
5. The Spirit creates his own emotions. Are you happy? Are you sad? Are
you depress? Maybe you think that something external of you is creating
your emotions. Maybe you believe that you are sad because you had a bad
day or maybe you believe that you are happy because you had a great
day. And this might be true. But who made the decision that you had a
good or bad day? You did. You decided if life was good or bad, and
adjusted your emotions to respond to your own consideration. You
created your own emotion.
Some people are born with everything they want and are still unhappy.
And others are born into humble means and are happy. What's the
difference? The only real difference is each person's ideas and
considerations.
Scientology uses hundreds of processes in order to help a person get a
better understanding and a better outlook in life by using his own
observations.
6. Scientology Ethics. Ethical people take full responsibility for
their actions. Un-ethical people blame others for their actions. "Wrong
doings" diminish and deteriorate the freedom of the spirit because the
need to justify the "wrong doing". So the spirit is enslaved into
repeating the "wrong doing" in order to justify the original "wrong
doing". The road to freedom lies within taking full responsibility for
your personal condition and actions, past, present and future.
Scientology provides the tools to help the person able to be fully
responsible over his life thus rehabilitating his ability to be good
and self determined.
Also Scientologist base their conduct on a non-denominational code of conduct.
http://twth.org/eb/?id=16664j7. Scientology and God. Scientology acknowledges the supreme being and
promotes the individual search for closeness to God through religion.
8. Scientology vs Psychiatry. Psychiatry believes that self awareness,
feelings, love and faith is merely cellular activity. Basically they
think that you are your brain and you are not in charge of your
behavior but your cells are.This is a totally materialistic point of
view that denies the spirit and God. Psychiatrist is a pseudo science
because it is based in principles that are false. Psychiatry have never
proven that any "mental illnesses" (like they call it) has any
connection with a physical illness. Any Neurologist will tell you there
are no medical test to identify a "mental illness". All Psychiatrists
base their diagnosis on opinion and opinion alone.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=...http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?p=cchr...Happiness, exhilaration, depression and psychosis are states of mind,
not diseases. All what you have to do to stop being depress is change
your state of mind. How you do that? By changing your ideas and
considerations. Scientology provides the tools to achieve a better
state of mind in accordance with your own point of view.
Also Psychiatrist excuse the most horrendous crimes as mental
illnesses. This is actually creates a sense of irresponsibility in
society because it tells people that they are not responsible for their
actions. Second they promote that drugs are the answer for your
problems. This message promotes the use of drugs to find release from
life and creates the current drug addiction problem in society. Drugs
will only give you temporary false release but will never solve the
source of your problems.And actually drugs will keep you away from
finding a true spiritual release.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=...Note: Scientology doesn't have anything against Psychology or
Neurology. Also the mere awareness that you are a spiritual being and
not a body makes you better person.
9. Scientology is a force for good in society. Scientologist fights Psychiatric abuses,
http://www.cchr.org/ the dangerous and harmfull drugs, criminality,
http://www.criminon.org and drug addiction.
http://www.narconon.orgAlso Scientology fought and won against the FDA and the IRS. And
Scientologist initiated the social reform group "Youth for Human
Rights"
http://www.youthforhumanrights.org and the movement "Say no to drugs and yes to life".
http://www.notodrugs-yestolife.org Scientologist are some of the more intelligent, able and successful
people in this planet. Including Jenna Elfman, Kelly Preston, John
Travolta, Priscilla Presley, Sofia Milos and Leah Remini. Even Danny
Masterson from the that's That '70s Show is a Scientologist.
10. Scientology is the only church that doesn't ask for donations from
their parishioners during their Sunday Services. All chapel services
are 100% free (marriages, naming ceremonies, ect). Scientology earns
it's money by delivering courses and auditing. Courses and auditing are
optional. You do not need to take courses and auditing to be in
Scientology. All you need to do to be a Scientologist is to read the
books and apply Scientology to your life (like I do). But if you want
auditing there are many alternative and economical ways to achieve this.
a. You can do volunteer work in your local church and get your services for free.
b. You can study to be an auditor and perform all your auditing with a
fellow student. This way you can also provide free services to your
friends and family. This is actually the preferred way to become clear
because you learn how to helps other. Scientology isn't about you going
clear but taking responsibility across all your dynamics (self, family,
group, humanity, life, ect).
11. Scientology and aliens. The story of Xenu is just a fable like the
story of "Jonah in the Whale" in the bible. Fables are not intended to
be taken seriously. The story of Xenu doesn't have any significance on
Scientology beliefs.
