The processes require the most skilled and exact application and have exact phenomena to be observed which becomes impossible to supervise outside the above departments. Only Class VI auditors may audit these processes first only at Saint Hill and only under the supervision of Mary Sue Hubbard until they have learned them perfectly. Training on such processes can be undertaken only by Provisional Class VI auditors after leaving the course, and only enrolled on staff as Internes in the Department of Review or the HGC. Orgs not having personnel so trained by Interneship may not use these processes in their Review Departments. The fact of having a Review personnel trained in Review at Saint Hill does not permit an org to train new Review personnel in the org. Anybody in an org’s Review who will be using or supervising the use of Power Processes must have been interned at Saint Hill. Such training, however, gives no right to train others. Holding this policy firmly guarantees the full success technically in all cases in any org in the world. Avoiding it in any way jeopardizes that success. These power processes are simple. But so is T. N. T. The reason for this is that there is no adequate repair for errors made in running these processes if their existing remedies are also goofed. The strongest, swiftest Ethics action must follow any slightest violation of the above for these processes alone guarantee sweeping success for Scientology on the roughest cases everywhere. Any auditor who discovers that the pc he is auditing has been illegally audited previously on a power process or any higher level process for which the pc is not graded must report the matter at once to the nearest HCO Ethics Section by collect wire or phone call.

  • BOOK 4.Book Page 1 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM
    BOOK 4.book Page 1 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM SCIENTOLOGY Making the World a Better Place Founded and developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is an applied religious philosophy which offers an exact route through which anyone can regain the truth and simplicity of his spiritual self. Scientology consists of specific axioms that define the underlying causes and principles of existence and a vast area of observations in the humanities, a philosophic body that literally applies to the entirety of life. This broad body of knowledge resulted in two applications of the subject: first, a technology for man to increase his spiritual awareness and attain the freedom sought by many great philosophic teachings; and, second, a great number of fundamental principles men can use to improve their lives. In fact, in this second application, Scientology offers nothing less than practical methods to better every aspect of our existence—means to create new ways of life. And from this comes the subject matter you are about to read. Compiled from the writings of L. Ron Hubbard, the data presented here is but one of the tools which can be found in The Scientology Handbook. A comprehensive guide, the handbook contains numerous applications of Scientology which can be used to improve many other areas of life. In this booklet, the editors have augmented the data with a short introduction, practical exercises and examples of successful application. Courses to increase your understanding and further materials to broaden your knowledge are available at your nearest Scientology church or mission, listed at the back of this booklet.

INTRODUCTION What is the definition of a religion? Even recognized (not all political structures recog- nize religions) and traditional, established religions often question their origin in an effort to prove they are actually the only true religion. Anyone who says, “My master is the great- est incarnation of God, or the only enlightened master,” is unquestionably ignorant. The yardstick of judging fully enlightened spiritual leaders is possessed only by fully enlightened disciples. An enlightened disciple is completely loyal to his master, the teacher or guru who showed him the way of enlightenment, but he always respects other avatars and masters.1 “So many different definitions [of religion] have been framed in the West over the years that even a partial listing would be impractical,” states the Encyclopedia of Religion (Mircea Eliade, Macmillan, London/New York: 1986, p. 283). I must therefore be content with some of the characteristics of religious experience and the knowledge that religions have a deep cultural and social basis.

  • Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief Discussion Guide Director: Alex Gibney Year: 2015 Time: 119 min You might know this director from: Sinatra: All or Nothing at All (2015) Steve Jobs: Man in the Machine (2015) Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown (2014) The Armstrong Lie (2013) We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks (2013) The Last Gladiators (2011) My Trip to Al-Qaeda (2010) Taxi to the Dark Side (2007) Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) FILM SUMMARY “My conclusions were that man was a spiritual being that was pulled down to the material, the fleshy interests, to an interplay in life that was in fact too great for him to control. I concluded finally that he needed a hand,” stated Scientology founding father L. Ron Hubbard. That helping hand became a clenching fist around the throat of many a devout member, which director Alex Gibney reveals in his investigation behind the curtain of Scientology. Having read “Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief” by Lawrence Wright, Gibney signed up to create a film for HBO on the mysterious religion, addressing the numerous allegations of human rights abuses for which it was under attack. With Gibney’s track record of probing power abuse in its many forms, the disputable practices of Hubbard and his enigmatic successor David Miscavige made for prime material. A number of credible ex-members are interviewed, including filmmaker Paul Haggis and John Travolta’s former representative Spanky Taylor, and their journeys up “The Bridge” of Scientology and subsequent rejection of the organization that had promised them spiritual freedom - along with with a hefty financial and personal price tag- serve as the film’s focal point.

  • I1 ~0402594487 11111 U~ I. Continuity and Change in Hollywood Representations of The
    '\ I1 ~0402594487 11111 U~ I. Continuity and Change in Hollywood Representations of the Middle East after September 11 th by Sulaiman Arti A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University June 2009 © 2008 S. Arti Abstract This thesis inquires into the factors behind Hollywood's depiction of the Middle East. That depiction is not static, but is modified in response to changes in political events and US government foreign policy. Although the events of 9/11 seemed to justify the traditional negative stereotype of Arabs, the image has been partially and rationally re-interpreted. This was due to the rise in prominence of the ideas of a minority of radical and free-thinking members of the Hollywood cornmunity who embraced a more intellectual approach, which advocated that the popular Western view of the Arab world was unjustified and based on a fallacious fabrication for Western political advantage. The research further shows that these activists did not owe allegiance to the Hollywood-US government propaganda machine. They were able to fracture this traditional alliance and provide the opportunity for the appearance of films of a radical nature, which were critical of US Middle Eastern policy and projected the Arab world in a new light. The study analyzes a selection of films that represent the Middle East in terms of their philosophy and cinematic structure, which enables them to act as vectors to raise public awareness of the issues and to promote reconciliation and co-existence between East and West.

  • Benefits I Have Received from Scientology Auditing and Train
    14 August 1997 Dear I have been asked to describe certain 'secular' benefits I have received from Scientology auditing and training that are not generally understood to be religious or spiritual in nature and how these have affected my community services activities. From my own schooldays I had a purpose to help other children gain a good education and to this end became a qualified teacher and pursued this profession until I married and had a family. I then came into contact with Scientology and through it gained greater self reliance and greater confidence in handling projects Also I was trained in the use of the study method developed by L Ron Hubbard and decided that I wanted to use it to help children to study better in school. With the help of a local West Indian businessman and other volunteers I started Riving supplementary teaching in the evening to disadvantaged children in Brixton , something which was especially wanted by West Indian parents in the drea. This project which we named B.E.S.T, ( the Basic Education and Supplementary Teaching .Association ) is now an authorised charity and continues to provide supplementary teaching and vacation projects in the Brixton area. More recently I have taken on another volunteer activity, that of bringing this study method to teachers in a country in Southern Africa. The education authorities in that country had become aware that the academic results being achieved in their schools were not sufficiently being translated into success in the professions and the workplace. L Ron Hubbard's Study Technology with its emphasis on fully understanding and being able to apply the data being studied was demonstrated in a pilot project and was shown to markedly increase student interest and comprehension and to greatly reduce truancy and its introduction was approved.

  • ORIGIN of SCIENTOLOGY May 22, 2019 1. Lafayette Ronald Hubbard
    ORIGIN OF SCIENTOLOGY May 22, 2019 1. Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, born in Tilden, Nebraska in 1911, was an American author of science fiction and fantasy stories. In 1950, Hubbard authored a book entitled Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health and established a series of organizations to promote Dianetics. In 1952, Hubbard lost the rights to Dianetics in bankruptcy proceedings, and he subsequently founded Scientology. 2. Dianetics (from the Greek dia, meaning "through", and nous, meaning “mind”) is a set of ideas and practices regarding the metaphysical relationship between the mind and body. Dianetics is practiced by followers of Scientology, the Nation of Islam (as of 2010), and other independent groups. Dianetics divides the mind into three parts: A) the conscious "analytical mind" B) the subconscious "reactive mind” C) the somatic mind “pertaining to the body” The goal of Dianetics is to erase the content of the "reactive mind", which Scientologists believe interferes with a person's ethics, awareness, happiness, and sanity. 1. As Hubbard oversaw the growth of the Church of Scientology into a worldwide organization, he was cited by Smithsonian magazine as one of the 100 most significant Americans of all time. Hubbard died in 1986. BELIEFS/PRACTICES OF SCIENTOLOGY 1. The Church of Scientology says that a human is an immoral, spirit being they refer to as the thetan. The thetan is a resident in a physical body. The thetan has had innumerable past lives and it is observed in advanced Scientology texts that lives preceding the thetan's arrival on Earth were lived in extraterrestrial cultures.
