Scientology Symbols

Scientology Symbols

The Scientology Symbol

The official Scientology website explains the main Scientology symbol as follows:
The Scientology symbol is an S imposed over two triangles. The S stands for Scientology. The two triangles represent important concepts in the Scientology religion. The lower triangle is made up of affinity, reality and communication, which together equate to understanding. The top triangle consists of another set of closely interrelated factors — knowledge, responsibility and control.{1}

The Scientology Cross

In answer to the question "What is the Scientology cross?" the official Scientology website explains:
It is an eight-pointed cross representing the eight parts or dynamics of life through which each individual is striving to survive.... To be able to live happily with respect to each of these spheres of existence is symbolized by the Scientology cross. As a matter of interest, the cross as a symbol predates Christianity. {2}

Scientology Ethics


Scientology's ethical system is based on reason, not divine revelation. L. Ron Hubbard defined evil or unreasonable behavior (the two terms are synonymous) as that "which brings about the destruction of individuals, groups, or inhibits the future of the race." {1}
Among Hubbard's many works is a book entitled Introduction to Scientology Ethics. An overview of the fundamentals of this work is available in the Ethics and Conditions Booklet. The Scientology catalog claims these fundamentals "provide an exact means for an individual to gradiently raise his ethics level, increase his survival potential in any area of life and help others do the same. Thus ethics technology is the key tool you need to succeed in all aspects of existence."
Scientology has no rules for diet and does not prohibit smoking or drinking. However, drinking alcohol is not allowed within 24 hours of an auditing session, which would make it impossible to benefit from the service. {2}
