Beliefs
Scientology offers a complete and precise
path to knowing oneself and ones own
spiritual nature.
It allows an individual to explore ones
relationship to self, family, groups,
Mankind, all life forms, the material
universe, the spiritual universe and the
Supreme Being.

Practices
Auditing The goal of auditing is to restore
beingness and ability. This is accomplished by
helping individuals rid themselves of any spiritual
disabilities.
Training The study of the passages and teachings
of the founder. The study of proper practices.

What
Auditing is the
centralis Auditing?
practice of Scientology
The purpose is to clear the
practitioner of negative
influence (known as engrams)
by purifying the Thetan
attached to the host. Once
engrams are cleared, spiritual
awareness and untapped
potential can be reached

 Auditing is done by attaching oneself to an

electropsychometer, of E-meter, by holding metal cylinders
and talking about past experiences
The E-meter measures mental mass and energy, which can
indicate harmful engrams by reacting to certain topics
If the E-meter reacts to a certain topic, the participant will
discuss the topic further to alleviate the engrams

How is it
Done?

Origins of Scientology
Scientologists believe that spirituality and thought (called
"theta") is an energy existing in its own universe, separate and
distinct from the physical universe of Matter, Energy, Space and
Time.
Scientologists addresses the spirit, not the body or mind, and
believe that man is more than just a product of his environment
or his genes.
Scientologys roots lie in the beliefs and aspirations of all great
religions, thus encompassing an old and varied religious
heritage.
The founder of Scientology was L Ron Hubbard and the religion
was created in 1953
There are an estimated 100-200 thousand followers worldwide

 Born in 1911
In the 30s, wrote many short
stories (mystery, action, sciencefiction).
He was also well-traveled. L Ron
visited and did research in places
such as the Caribbean, Haiti, and
Puerto Rico.
He was focused on peoples
troubles and their psyche.
L Ron recorded his philosophies
in over 5,000 writings and 3,000
lectures

Dianetics
A study of the dynamics of human existence. It took

L. Ron 16 years to compile this.

Dianetics discusses the way to eliminate body
thetans through a process called auditing in which
a Scientologist recounts past experiences and
memories.
In Dianetics (along with some of the other literary
works of Scientology), the foundations of the
religion are addressed and some of the significant
symbols are explained.

Scientology Cross
Eight points represent the
eight dynamics of life,
which all Scientologists
strive to achieve.
Symbolizes the ability to
live happily across
all Eight Dynamics.

The Eight Dynamics

The FIRST DYNAMIC is SELF.
This is the effort to survive as an individual, to be an individual. It
includes ones own body and ones own mind. It is the effort to
attain the highest level of survival for the longest possible time for
self. This dynamic includes the individual plus his immediate
possessions. It does not include other people. It is the urge to
survive as ones self. Here we have individuality expressed fully.
The SECOND DYNAMIC is CREATIVITY.
Creativity is making things for the future and the Second Dynamic
includes any creativity. The Second Dynamic contains the family
unit and raising children as well as anything that can be
categorized as a family activity. It also, incidentally, includes sex
as a mechanism to compel future survival.

The Eight Dynamics

The THIRD DYNAMIC is GROUP SURVIVAL.
This is the urge to survive through a group of individuals or as a
group. It is group survival with the group tending to take on a life
and existence of its own. A group can be a community, friends, a
company, a social lodge, a state, a nation, a race or any group. It
doesnt matter what size this group is, it is seeking to survive as a
group.
The FOURTH DYNAMIC is SPECIES.
Mans Fourth Dynamic is the species of Mankind. This is the urge
toward survival through all Mankind and as all Mankind. Whereas
the American nationality would be considered a Third Dynamic for
Americans, all the nationalities of the world together would be
considered the Fourth Dynamic. All men and women, because they
are men and women, seek to survive as men and women and for
men and women.

The Eight Dynamics

The FIFTH DYNAMIC is LIFE FORMS.
This is the urge to survive as life forms and with the help of life
forms such as animals, birds, insects, fish and vegetation. This
includes all living things whether animal or vegetable, anything
directly and intimately motivated by life. It is the effort to survive
for any and every form of life. It is the interest in life as such.
The SIXTH DYNAMIC is the PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
The physical universe has four components. These are matter,
energy, space and time. The Sixth Dynamic is the urge of the
physical universe to survive, by the physical universe itself and
with the help of the physical universe and each one of its
component parts.

The Eight Dynamics

The SEVENTH DYNAMIC is the SPIRITUAL DYNAMIC.
This is the urge to survive as spiritual beings or the urge for life itself to
survive. Anything spiritual, with or without identity, would come under
the heading of the Seventh Dynamic. It includes ones beingness, the
ability to create, the ability to cause survival or to survive, the ability to
destroy or pretend to be destroyed. A subheading of this dynamic is ideas
and concepts and the desire to survive through these. The Seventh
Dynamic is life source. This is separate from the physical universey and
is the source of life itself. Thus, there is an effort for the survival of life
source.

The EIGHTH DYNAMIC is the urge toward INFINITY.

The Eighth Dynamic also is commonly called God, The Supreme Being
or Creator, but it is correctly defined as infinity. It actually embraces the
all-ness of all. That is why, according to L. Ron Hubbard, when the
Seventh Dynamic is reached in its entirety, one will only then discover
the true Eighth Dynamic.

However these are not the only

practices of Scientology. Many
believe that what the Church of
Scientology preaches is only a
small part of the religion.

What theyre not telling you

There is controversy surrounding the religion of

Scientology
Newer members of the religion are not told the real
belief system in its entirety until they reach the rank
of OT-III within the Church
Once members reach the rank of OT-III, they are
told the first supreme truth
The following are controversial ideas about the
beliefs of Scientology. Many avid Scientologists
deny these rumors

XENU: Galactic Overlord

75 Million years ago, Xenu was the
tyrant dictator of the Galactic
Federation, which was composed of
76 planets and had already existed for
millions of years
The planets were suffering from
overpopulation, so Xenu had many
aliens frozen then dumped in the
volcanoes of the Earth (then called
Teegeeack), killing them. The
volcanoes were then Nuked to
prevent anyone from living

Thetans Live On
The souls of the now-dead aliens, called
Thetans, lived on within the volcanoes. As
they tried to escape, however, they were
captured and forced to sit through
brainwashing, making them forget the
Galactic Federation and all that had happen
and forcing them to accept Teegeeack as the
only place to live
As Humans came into existence, the
Thetans attached to them. Thetans are the
reasons for all our suffering and can only be
purified through auditing until the
practitioner is cleared

So what happen to Xenu?

Members of the Galactic
Federation, seeing what
Xenu had done, rebelled
against him
After a six year war, Xenu
was captured and
imprisoned on a planet
that is a barren desert. He
still lives on within the
mountain trap.

NEVERMIND IT WONT WORK JUST ENJOY THIS PICTURE. We think

the TV show South Park explains Xenu the best. Just click and enjoy if
youd like to watch the clip

By the way
There are eight known levels of Scientology
I.
OT I - Initiates
II. OT II
III. OT III When they allegedly learn of Xenu
IV. OT IV
V. OT V
VI. OT VI
VII. OT VII
VIII. OT VIII Ultimate Truth Revealed aboard cruiser
Freewinds out on Caribbean (the Ultimate Truth has
never been publically exposed)
*OV IX will not be released in this lifetime

*Disclaimer*
While many around you will be quick to make fun of the faith,
there is something important to remember when thinking
about the Church of Scientology: despite how crazy all
the potential beliefs may be and despite the secrecy of the
faith, Scientology does in fact help people. Like other
religions, it allows for communal relationships, helps
alleviate stress and provide hope, and gives people a set of
moral guidelines. More than anything, it helps promote
personal growth. So, before making fun of Scientologists,
remember that they are people too that are just following a
faith that makes them feel good about themselves.

The Church of Scientology

Says
Scientology does not ask individuals to
accept anything on faith alone. Rather,
as ones level of spiritual awareness
increases through participation in
Scientology auditing and training, one
attains his own certainty of every
dynamic
