Scientology and your own integrity

In Scientology, you are not forced to believe in anything. Every piece of data is made to be scrutinized - by applying it to life and seeing if it actually works. This is one thing that I love about Scientology.

As L. Ron Hubbard put it:

"Personal integrity is knowing what you know -
"What you know is what you know -
"And to have the courage to know and say what you have observed.
"And that is integrity
"And there is no other integrity."

So, take a look at this website and find out if Scientology is true for you.

What can Scientology do for you?

L. Ron Hubbard wrote books and informational bulletins for every aspect of human trouble.
For example:

Do you have problems with studying? Scientology study courses can help you with that.

Are you having marital difficulties? There's an informational booklet and course that you and your partner can use.

Do you ever have problems communicating with other people? There are several communications courses you can take.

The list goes on, the point is, if you want help in your life, check out what Scientology can do for you.

Memorial Day

Today is Memorial day, so I felt it fitting to post about Mr. L. Ron Hubbard himself.

Lieutenant L. Ron Hubbard served in the Navy during World War II until he was injured in action, which landed him in the Oak Knoll Naval Hospital. While there he researched what is now Dianetics. He applied these procedures on himself and also on other war victims in the hospital, ultimately bringing a number of our fighting men back to health.

His patriotism was only exceeded by his desire to help his fellow man. In his own words:

"I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days.
"These shadows look so thick to him and weigh him down so that when he finds they are shadows and that he can see through them, walk through them and be again in the sun, he is enormously delighted. And I am afraid I am just as delighted as he is." - L. Ron Hubbard.

Drug Rehab

There is a group called Narconon, which has safe and effective ways to rehabilitate drug users. They are a secular group (meaning they operate separately from the Church of Scientology), but Narconon is supported by Scientologists around the world.

The history is pretty amazing. In 1966 a three time convicted felon and hard core drug addict was arrested once again for a drug related office and put into prison. He read a book by L. Ron Hubbard and was able to overcome his drug use, which had been going on for years. After corresponding with L. Ron Hubbard, who offered advice, the felon initiated a program to help out his fellow inmates and addicts to overcome their drug addictions. The program spread to other inmates and after his release, this man spread his program even further to include non-incarcerated addicts. Now Narconon operates over 106 groups in 36 countries. It has gotten 16,000 people off drugs with a success rate of over 70% of it's graduates living completely drug-free lives.

There's a ton of wins and successes from this program. They're really awesome.

If you or anyone in your family is addicted to drugs or alcohol, go to http://www.narconon.org and get the help needed to live a happy, drug free life.

The Way To Happiness Foundation

There is a Way to Happiness Foundation International located on Broadway and Maryland in Glendale CA. There they have a Way to Happiness display in pretty much every language. They also can create a Way to Happiness book for you with any cover and have a personalized inscription in there.

This book has helped thousands in everyday living, just by showing them simple ideas that make it easy to tell right from wrong. I read it when I was 18 or 19 and it showed me how to live a happier life, why I don't have to lie to get my way, and all sorts of things. I would say that personally it made my life happier. And it could do the same to you. It's non-religious and very simply written, with definitions of larger words in the glossary and in footnotes, so pretty much anyone can read it.

If you didn't read the post I did on the book itself, check out this link for a free ebook.

A Non-Religious Moral Code

The Celebration of the 56th Anniversary of Dianetics

This last Saturday was the celebration of the 56th anniversary of the book Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health. In Los Angeles it was held on L. Ron Hubbard Way, which is located in Hollywood, CA. There were music and speakers, as well as quite a few attendees (including yours truly), all there to pay tribute to Dianetics. This book has helped millions with their daily troubles and also discusses the real reason behind crime, insanity and war. I highly recommend it.

Dianetics - The Evolution of a Science

In the spirit of the 56th anniversary of Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health, I'm going to be posting information about the book, plus some history.

Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health was written just after Dianetics The Evolution of a Science.

The Evolution of a Science goes over such information as:

• L. Ron Hubbard's first description of the true potentials of the human mind.
• How L. Ron Hubbard discovered the "basic personality".
• How the Dynamic Principle of Existence was first isolated.
• The exact mechanics of the reactive mind, and how it can control you like a puppet, creating and enforcing negative emotions, attitudes and behavior.
• The anatomy of prenatal experiences and how they affect you.
• Why one takes on the personality - and irrationalities - of people.
• The principles, use and results of Dianetics - exactly how and why it works.

This book give you the key to really understand your mind and shows the progression by which Dianetics and - later- Scientology was developed. It's the first book that Mr. Hubbard wrote on the subject.

In Chapter Two "What Life is Doing", Mr. Hubbard says:

"My right to enter this field was an inquiring brain which had been trained in mathematics and engineering and which had a memory bank full of questions and far-flung observations.

"It was the basic contention that the human mind was a problem in engineering and that all knowledge would surrender to an engineering approach.

"And another primary assumption was made:

"All answers are basically simple."

Dianetic's 56th Anniversary

This May 9th it's the 56th anniversary of the bestselling book by Mr. L. Ron Hubbard - Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health, written in 1950. This book is really awesome. I read it and applied it's principles to my own life and completely turned myself around.
This book is also endorsed by other people such as John Travolta, Chick Corea, Lee Purcell, Keith Code, Eduardo Palomo, and many others. If you check out this book, these celebrities and others have noted what they got out of the book.

Drugs

The epidemic of drug abuse has gone on unchecked for years. I've seen the effects when walking down the street in Hollywood or even in areas considered to be "clean" or "safe", like Glendale.
A few months ago I was taking a walk in Glendale and stopped in the park to swing when two guys who were around my age came up to me and asked me if I wanted to smoke pot with them in the far end of the park. This was in a family park, where little kids go to and where I grew up. I felt disgusted to know that there could be joints floating around there, and maybe even more hardcore drugs.

There are drug dealers and users all around Hollywood, and people will openly admit that they are on or using drugs. Per a survey taken on drug use in 2004 96.7 million people had ever tried or consistently used pot, 34.1 million had ever tried or consistently used cocaine, 7.8 million people had tried or used crack and 3.1 million people had tried or used heroin. This was by 2004 alone! That's over 100 million people who will admit to having used drugs in America. It's a frighteningly high amount!

If you want to know more about this epidemic, or want to find out what you can do about it, go to www.drugsalvage.org Say No To Drugs, Say Yes To Life.

Scientology Prayer

In Scientology, we have Sunday Services and these end with a prayer I wanted to share:

“May the author of the universe enable all men to reach an understanding of their spiritual nature.

“May awareness and understanding of life expand, so that all may come to know the author of the universe.

“And may others also reach this understanding which brings Total Freedom.

“At this time we think of those whose liberty is threatened; of those who have suffered imprisonment for their beliefs; of those who are enslaved or martyred, and for all those who are brutalized, trapped or attacked.

“We pray that human rights will be preserved so that all people may believe and worship freely, so that freedom will once again be seen in our land.

“Freedom from war, and poverty, and want; freedom to be; freedom to do and freedom to have.

“Freedom to use and understand man’s potential – a potential that is God-given and Godllike.

“And freedom to achieve that understanding and awareness that is Total Freedom.

“May God let it be so.”

The person who wrote this prayer was L. Ron Hubbard. Pretty beautiful huh?

New Scientology Blog

I have a friend who recently moved to San Francisco and started up a Scientology blog. Check it out

Scientology Study Technology

I grew up going to schools that used Scientology Study Technology. This technology was created by L. Ron Hubbard and is applied by both public and private schools around the world. There is an organization called Applied Scholastics which instructs teachers in this technology and then sends them back home to their schools. The statistics are absolutely awesome.

I personally attribute my love of reading and writing, as well as my ability to learn things quickly to this technology. I hate to see others who can't experience the joy of reading a good book when they could learn how to rather easily with this data. So, I hope that anyone who reads this blog checks it out.

Really cool interview

I found this really cool interview. If you ever had questions about Dianetics or Scientology, this is something that you should watch.

Dianetics is something that I haven't really talked about on my blog yet - probably because this is my third post, but it's a book that L. Ron Hubbard wrote in 1950, mostly to answer the questions that people had been asking regarding his ideas on the mind. He had published an article or two about the mind, which is what sparked all of these questions, but he had not actually found a solution for the problems that he found were occuring in the mind. He found the answer and put it all in the book Dianetics. If you want to check out the Dianetics website, click on one of the three links in this post
