<center>'''A DESCRIPTION OF SCIENTOLOGY'''</center>
 
 
"My purpose is to bring a barbarism out of the mud it thinks
 
conceived it and to form, here on Earth, a civilization based on
 
human understanding, not violence.
 
  
:That's a big purpose. A broad field. A star-high goal.

:But I think it's your purpose, too.
+
* [http://scientolipedia.org/info/Scientolipedia_Podcast_Series Podcasts]
 
+
* [http://scientolipedia.org/info/Scientolipedia_Newsletter Newsletter]
While Scientology encompasses a broader scope than any
+
* [[Admin Scale]]
previous Eastern or Western religion ever has, it should be
+
* [[Professional Associations]]
realized that a great deal of what is known today in Scientology,
+
* [[Obituaries|OBITUARIES]]
with an added exactness of understanding, was already known
+
* [[File:Become a patron button.png|140px|link=https://www.patreon.com/scientolipedia]]
and lost thousands of years ago.
+
</div>
 
+
What we are DOING with this data is NEW. The
+
technology for bringing about a new state in man is new. But the
+
basic hope of man as it appears today in Scientology is thousands
+
of years old. And when we call Scientology a religion we are
+
calling it a religion out of a much deeper well than only the last
+
two thousand years. It is a wisdom in the tradition of ten
+
thousand years of search in Asia and in Western civilization.
+
 
+
Scientology stands complete today, with the oldest
+
philosophical tradition of man, with new discoveries about man,
+
and with a technology of tremendous power and breadth which
+
treats the livingness and beingness of man, and demonstrates to
+
him a pathway to greater freedom...
+
 
+
...The Reactive Mind comprises an unknowing, unwanted
+
series of aberrated computations which bring about an effect upon
+
the individual and those around him. It is an obsessive strata of
+
unknown, unseen, uninspected data which are forcing solutions,
+
unknown and unsuspected, on the individual -- which tells you
+
why it remained hidden from man for so many thousands of
+
years...
+
 
+
...Man had no inkling whatever of Dianetics. None. This was
+
the bolt from the blue. Man was hacking and sawing and
+
shocking and injecting and teaching and moralizing and
+
counselling and hanging and jailing men with enthusiasm
+
without any idea at all of what caused Man to behave as he did or
+
what made him sick or well.
+
 
+
The answer, and the place where one begins, was and still is
+
Dianetics. It is Man's most advanced school of the mind. Though
+
they hold in common certain basic tools, Dianetics and
+
Scientology are not identical subjects and their technologies are
+
not the same. But the early days of Dianetics were the early
+
beginnings of Scientology. Dianetics is the route from aberrated
+
(or aberrated and ill) human to a well, happy, high-I.Q. human
+
being. This breakthrough had never before been achieved in
+
Man's history. Scientology is the route from there to total
+
freedom and ability as a spiritual being."

''"It is perfectly possible for a man to be out of prison, and yet not free - to be under no physical constraint and yet to be a psychological captive, compelled to think, feel and act as the representatives of the national state, or of some private interest within the nation, wants him to think, feel and act."''<br>
 
+
''"The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own initiative. The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to other people. His servitude is strictly objective."''<br>[http://www.huxley.net/bnw-revisited/ Brave New World Revisited], 1958 [http://somaweb.org/w/huxbio.html Aldous Huxley]<br><br>

''"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."''

“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind3. a network of communications and pictures, energies and masses, which are brought into being by the activities of the thetan versus the physical universe or other thetans. The mind is a communication and control system between the thetan and his environment. (FOT, p. 56)...MORE is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.” - Albert Einstein

"It is perfectly possible for a man to be out of prison, and yet not free - to be under no physical constraint and yet to be a psychological captive, compelled to think, feel and act as the representatives of the national state, or of some private interest within the nation, wants him to think, feel and act."
"The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own initiative. The victim of mind3. a network of communications and pictures, energies and masses, which are brought into being by the activities of the thetan versus the physical universe or other thetans. The mind is a communication and control system between the thetan and his environment. (FOT, p. 56)...MORE-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to other people. His servitude is strictly objective."
Brave New World Revisited, 1958 Aldous Huxley

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt
