FAQ's


WHAT DOES THE WORD SCIENTOLOGY MEAN?

The word Scientology, conceived by L. Ron Hubbard, comes from the Latin scio which means “knowing, in the fullest meaning of the word” and the Greek word logos which means “study of.” It means knowing how to know. Scientology is further defined as “the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life.”


WHAT IS SCIENTOLOGY?


Developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is a religion that offers a precise path leading to a complete and certain understanding of one’s true spiritual nature and one’s relationship to self, family, groups, Mankind, all life forms, the material universe, the spiritual universe and the Supreme Being.
 
Scientology addresses the spirit—not the body or mind—and believes that Man is far more than a product of his environment, or his genes.
 
Scientology comprises a body of knowledge which extends from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these are:
 
Man is an immortal spiritual being.
 
His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime.
 
His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized.
 
Scientology further holds Man to be basically good, and that his spiritual salvation depends upon himself, his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe.
 
Scientology is not a dogmatic religion in which one is asked to accept anything on faith alone. On the contrary, one discovers for oneself that the principles of Scientology are true by applying its principles and observing or experiencing the results.
 
The ultimate goal of Scientology is true spiritual enlightenment and freedom.

What makes people realize that they need true spiritual enlightenment and freedom?  Like in Christianity sin makes people realize they need a savior.  Can you give an example?

Knowledge.. We all been told that killing people is wrong, but we don't need a higher god to tell us this, we have to search within ourselves and find the facts for ourselves that is truth.  We are all born good, what we learn while living may change our perspectives on life.  If we look outside what we learned, search for the truth we will find out what is truly good and live by what facts we find.

Isn't "freedom for whatever it is your holding onto" subjective though?  So what others believe is "bad" is actually seen as "good" for others?  Or what if others have a different truths?

Is there a heaven or hell? Or what happens after you die?

There is only one truth.. the one that matters is the one that you believe..

Heaven or Hell.. That is something that you will need to find for yourself.. What you believe and what you find is the truth..
