One Scientologist's Story

There's a concept that is really central to the Scientology religion. It's on the Scientology web site. "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."



In Scientology, nobody tells you what to think. Rather, Scientology is a route to self discovery.


When I read books by L. Ron Hubbard I find it's more like remembering concepts than learning them. So often I read something by LRH and it just hits me as an "of course!" kind of thing.

One of the most basic principles in Scientology is that man is basically good. And Scientology training and counseling (called auditing) helps you get back to your basic nature. I have found this to be so true, personally.

Scientology is also intensely practical. Everything you learn you can use. The Scientology Handbook is a great example of this. To me, it's one of the great pleasures in life to be able to help one of my friends, or my sister or my parents with something that's really bothering them. I can open the Handbook to exactly what they need and they try it and it works.

I helped one friend who was in an abusive relationship and she just couldn't seem to get out of it. Every time she tried to leave he would say he was going to reform and she'd just give in and stay with him. With the help of Scientology Handbook I was able to get her to see what she was doing and she finally left him. She's in a great relationship now and doing so much better.
