What is Scientology’s System of Ethics?

The Scientology system of ethics is based wholly on reason (Scientology.org).

L. Ron Hubbard defined ethics as “reason and the contemplation of optimum survival.” He has also pointed out: “Dishonest conduct is non-survival. Anything is unreasonable or evil which brings about the destruction of individuals, groups, or inhibits the future of the race.”

Ethics may be further defined as “the actions an individual takes on himself to ensure his continued survival across the dynamics.” It is a personal thing. When one is ethical, it is something one does oneself by choice.

The Scientology ethics system includes a body of technology called Conditions Formulas. L. Ron Hubbard discovered that there are various states of existence and that there are exact formulas connected with these states. A person can determine what condition any area of his life is in and apply a formula to immediately improve that condition. While very simple, such actions are quite powerful and have enabled millions of individuals to improve their lives in ways never thought possible.

Another part of Scientology’s ethics system is a type of auditing known as a Confessional. Man has long postulated a means by which he could put himself on the right path. As long ago as 500 b.c., religions recognized that confession frees a person spiritually from the burden of sin. In Scientology, it has been found that a Confessional assists the person who has transgressed against their own and their group’s moral code to unburden themselves and again feel good about themselves and be a contributing member of the group.

As L. Ron Hubbard has written:

“No man who is not himself honest can be free—he is his own trap. When his own deeds cannot be disclosed then he is a prisoner; he must withhold himself from his fellows and is a slave to his own conscience.”

These are but two of the tools from the wealth of Ethics Technology that exists in Scientology.

^{Happiness and strength endure only in the absence of hate. To hate alone is the road to disaster. To love is the road to strength. To love in spite of all is the secret of greatness. And may very well be the greatest secret in this universe.~~L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion}

L. Ron Hubbard--Biography

I love the video of L. Ron Hubbard's biography on the L. Ron Hubbard website.

It's incredible reading his books and listening to his lectures, and learning more about his life just adds to the experience.

What is the Spirit?

The Church of Scientology Mission of San Francisco at 2501 Judah Streetsays:

"The only major religion to emerge in the 20th century. The Church of Scientology is an applied religious philosophy in that you are not told what to believe, but given tools that help you in every aspect of life.

Family, work, relationships, communication, no matter what you need help with, something can be done about it.

"The goal of Scientology is a world without war, without crime, where the able can prosper and honest people have rights. One 'belief' in Scientology is 'What is true is what you have observed yourself'.

"One other idea in Scientology is that you are an immortal spiritual being . Your capabilities are far in advance of what many would want you to believe.

There are millions of members and millions of success stories of how Scientology has helped people improve their lives.

"I have found 100% of the individuals I have talked to that insult Scientology have not read a single book on Scientology and very few of them even walked into a church or talked to a Scientologist without first insulting them.

The Scientology religion was founded by L. Ron Hubbard. The best way to learn about it is by reading one or more of L. Ron Hubbard's books.

"Anyway, go to scientology.org, or any Church of Scientology. Find out for yourself!"

^{A few years ago, David Miscavige released the newly restored film--An Introduction to Scientology--a filmed interview of L. Ron Hubbard. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to learn more about L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology or Dianetics.}

Self Analysis - Dianetics & Scientology :: Bridge Publications, Inc.

Self Analysis

One of my all-time favorite books of L. Ron Hubbard is Self Analysis. First of all, it's got one of the best descriptions of
Dianetics and Scientology anywhere. Then it lets you analyze yourself against a chart of human evaluation and plot your own emotional tone level. After that, you do the self-processing section where you look over your life, especially the earliest moments you can find, and learn so much about yourself while answering the questions.

I remember what I used the book with my sister who isn't a Scientologist. After about an hour or looking for answers to these questions and telling me what she found she suddenly realized that this whole area of her life that she'd thought was a dark and unhappy period was actually full or wonderful experiences which she'd totally forgotten about. And she felt much more relaxed and buoyant at the end of it.

I used it with my mom too, and learned more about her in an hour than I'd known about her in 40 years. And she had a ball at the age of 78 remember things from when she was 3, 4 and 5 years old.

When he released the Basics Books and Lectures of L. Ron Hubbard, David Miscavige said that this is the book Ron referred to more often in his lectures and other research than any other book he'd written.

You can get the book online at the Bridge Publications website.

Official Church of Scientology: L. Ron Hubbard, Video Biography, Dianetics & Religious Books

Official Church of Scientology: L. Ron Hubbard

“For nearly a quarter of a century, I have been engaged in the investigation of the fundamentals of life, the material universe and human behavior. Such an adventure leads one down many highways, through many byroads, into many back alleys of uncertainty, through many strata of life…” - L. Ron Hubbard

L. Ron Hubbard directed the rise of Scientology Churches all over the world and thus, the birth of a worldwide religion. It is a practical religion. It is applicable to every aspect of human existence and it is religion for the here and now. But at its core and within every Church of Scientology lies this enduring invitation from its Founder: “We are extending to you the precious gift of freedom and immortality—factually, honestly.”
