MEET A SCIENTOLOGIST
Scientologists come from diverse lands, cultures and backgrounds. They are doctors, educators, inventors, athletes, actors, musicians, students, photographers, business owners and more.
To understand how practicing Scientology has impacted their lives, it is best to hear directly from them. So we present the opportunity to "Meet a Scientologist" with a series of short documentaries profiling the lives and careers of Church members.
SCIENTOLOGY RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES
Scientology ministers perform many of the same types of ceremonies and services that ministers, rabbis and priests of other religions perform.
Worship Services
Each Sunday, and sometimes on other days of the week as well, the Church’s Chaplain or another minister conducts a public worship service which is open to both members and non-members of the Church.
These services comprise a recitation of the Creed of Scientology, sermons, congregational auditing and prayer. As such they provide an occasion for everyone to commune with the Infinite and revitalize one spiritually.
Ceremonies
In addition Scientology congregations celebrate weddings and namings with their own formal ceremonies and mark the passing of their fellows with funeral rites.
Scientology services, which address spirituality and God in accordance with the religion’s teachings, impart a special quality to these occasions.
DIANETICS: UNDERSTANDING THE MIND
The Dianetics symbol uses the Greek letter delta as its basic form. The green stripes stand for growth, the yellow stripes are for life.
The four green stripes represent the four subdivisions of Man's urge to survive which are delineated in Dianetics.
Dianetics: dia (Greek) through, nous (Greek) mind or soul.
To understand exactly how Scientology is used, something should be known of the track of research L. Ron Hubbard traveled and the antecedent of Scientology—Dianetics.
Dianetics is a methodology which can help alleviate unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses (illnesses caused or aggravated by mental stress).
It is most accurately described as what the soul is doing to the body through the mind.
Prior to 1950, prevailing scientific thought had concluded Man’s mind to be his brain, i.e., a collection of cells and neurons and nothing more. 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.
In this portion of the website, you will become familiar with the basic concepts of Dianetics and how it works, the goal of Dianetics, and an understanding of the state of “Clear.”
