What are the Scientology beliefs?
Scientology teaches that man is an immortal, spiritual being composed of three parts: the first of these is the spirit, or thetan, (from the Greek letter theta, meaning “thought” or “spirit”), the mind, and the body. The body is not the person, and the most important of these three parts is the thetan.
The official Scientology website also states “In Scientology no one is asked to accept anything as belief or on faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true. An individual discovers for himself that Scientology works by personally applying its principles and observing or experiencing results.”1
Scientologists believe that the basic command in life is to survive, and this command is broken into eight dynamics, meaning urges or impulses. All activities can be understood and harmonized with each other to increase survival. The dynamics are Infinity (God or Creator), Spiritual, Physical Universe, Life Forms, Mankind, Group Survival, Family, and Self.
“Through Scientology, a person realizes that his life and influence extend far beyond himself. By understanding each of these dynamics and their relationship, one to the other, he is able to do so, and thus increase survival on all of these dynamics.”2
A principle of great importance in Scientology is the Arc Triangle. Affinity, reality, and communication form an interdependent triangle that adds up to understanding and assists relationships. A Tone Scale in which things are given a number, or a “tone,” and as a person’s knowledge of the Tone Scale increases, so does his happiness, well-being, self-esteem, and other desirable qualities.
The International Day of Peace was first established in 1981 by a resolution 36/67 of the United Nations General Assembly to coincide with its opening session every September. In 2001 the resolution 55/282 was strengthened to fix the date annually on 21 September and for it to be a day of nonviolence and cease-fire. The resolution was adopted unanimously by the Member States of the General Assembly.L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Scientology religion, made a very incisive statement about peace, because it gives a solution that we can all work to accomplish:
On the day when we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth.
We all wish we could answer "Yes" to the question, and there are people working to make it a reality: Scientologist from the Middle East Tell of the Work to Bring Peace to their Region. Only by more and more people taking the initiative will the answer become "Yes".
The main spiritual services of Scientology are not prayer or worship, but rather training in Scientology applied religious technology.
This is aptly described - applied because the keynote of everything in Scientology is putting it to use. L. Ron Hubbard was an incredible genius, and as with many geniuses he found traditional education stifling. His creative and intellectual power led him to think so far out of the box that society is just now BEGINNING to catch up with the advances he discovered almost 80 years ago with his writing of his first book - Excalibur.
You learn to apply Scientology technology on the courses you take at Scientology churches.
One person I really appreciate is Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center, who has done such a brilliant job keeping Scientology pure and therefore completely workable.
