Dianetics Again

I'm reading Dianetics again, for the second time in a few months. Utterly amazing how much more I get out of it each time I read it.

I was so happy when David Miscavige released the new edition and basically told every Scientologist that their highest priority is to read the books. I've always been a book reader, but sometimes I felt like I was the only one. Now "everyone" is doing it. But this is a fad that makes everyone more an individual!

If you haven't gotten your Scientology and Dianetics Basics, check out the Bridge web site. You can order them online!

New Video Website at Dianetics.org

In celebration of the 58th anniversary of the release of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, the Church of Scientology has now launched a new and interactive portal at Dianetics.org for access to testimonials, videos, excerpts, home extension courses, and all information regarding Dianetics. The launch is also supported by a national television advertising campaign. By doing so, the Church of Scientology is able to provide expansive and enlightening information to those who have questions about Dianetics.

What is Dianetics?

The culmination of decades of research, L. Ron Hubbard's "Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health" was released on May 9, 1950. The Dianetics book was an immediate best seller, hitting the NY Times Best Seller List where it remained for 26 consecutive weeks. It sparked a movement which today spans the globe. Further, the principals and techniques of Dianetics laid the groundwork for the Scientology religion.

Dianetics Success

I've been talking to lots of my friends who are studying the Scientology and Dianetics basic books and lectures and the wins they are having are totally cool. Makes sense, cuz that's the kind of wins I'm having too. L. Ron Hubbard was an utter genius, and I'm so glad David Miscavige put the time and manpower into getting these materials published—that are making so much difference in the lives of just about anyone I know who's read them.

Bookathon is Back

This weekend is the next Dianetics bookathon, and everyone is getting ready!

The last one was intense. Incredible competition between Scientology churches and missions for which group was going to get more Dianetics books into the hands of people in their communities than anyone else.

New York has been in the lead most bookathons. But this year it was the surprising Bitza Mission of Moscow that won.

Every time I watch TV or read a magazine or newspaper I am struck by how much people are in need of Dianetics. There isn't anyone I've met yet who doesn't have something about their life that is dragging them down, and which they are really missing a way to remedy. And the work L. Ron Hubbard did that resulted in his release of Dianetics has saved more lives than I can count.

I am thrilled with the quality of the book now and I so appreciate the Mr. David Miscavige did to ensure these books are exactly as LRH intended.

And I'm really looking forward to this weekend's bookathon! We're going to WIN!

Thanks to L. Ron Hubbard, we have a technology anyone can use to

The Dianetics site now has videos that show what individual people have gotten out of Dianetics. It's amazing how many things, that people really want to handle, are addressed by Dianetics. And without drugs. And for good.

Intro to Dianetics video

I watched the introduction video on the Dianetics site again tonight. I was impressed by how much of the theory of Dianetics they were able to include in such a short video clip -- only 4 minutes long. And it's visually really compelling. Shows in images what it could take pages to explain in text. That's the beauty of video.

New Dianetics Video Site!

What a fantastic new site, to let people know about Dianetics!

I love the first video -- an overview of what Dianetics is and how it works.

And the testimonials of people who have experienced wins through Dianetics auditing are really worth watching and listening to.

I've had a lot of people ask me for more information on Dianetics. I'm really pleased with the upgrade of this site so I can send people there to watch the videos so they get the information they're looking for.

The site was launched to commemorate the 58th anniversary of the publishing of Mr. Hubbard's book -- May 9th marking that date.

Dianetics and Scientology Books Donated to Philippines Library

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour in the Philippines donated a full set of Dianetics and Scientology books to the Cebu City Rizal Library and Museum. An article in the Philippines Sun Star points out:

The major purpose of the Scientology Volunteer Minister Goodwill Tour is to share the knowledge developed by their founder to improve the people’s conditions in life. The books contain comprehensive and substantial information on the way to happiness, and the development of human ability and how to handle life at all times. “Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health,” which is a bestseller for more than half a century already was written by the founder of Scientology. It is the first book about the human mind that has been translated in more than 50 languages.
It also lets readers know that there is free disaster relief training available at the Volunteer Ministers tent.

What's Auditing All About?

You may have seen some of my posts where I talk about auditing, which is the Scientology term for counseling. If you every wondered what the **** I was talking about, you can check out the new Scientology web site (video site) cuz there's a video about auditing now.

It's in the section under "Scientologty beliefs." You can navigatge to it by going to "Beliefs and Practices" and clicking on "Basic Principles of Scientology." It's the video furthest to the right.

Amazing! Scientology Videos Online!

I could hardly believe it when I heard about this new Scientology site. The addition of videos to it brings it right up to the cutting edge of the Internet.

What can I say. It now speaks totally for itself!

A religion for the 21st century: Scientology

Great story about Dianetics and Scientology in the North County Times!

What We Believe: The Church of Scientology

By: RUTH MARVIN WEBSTER - Staff Writer
Questions of faith and religion aren't usual topics of Hollywood buzz. Drug use, infidelity, weight and cosmetic surgical procedures are.But any tidbit about the Church of Scientology or its high-profile celebrity believers seem to be the exception, attracting attention at every turn.

First there was the controversy in Germany, which in December declared Scientology unconstitutional and banned it. Then there was the release of Andrew Morton's unauthorized biography of actor Tom Cruise, which coincided with the broadcast of a nine-minute video of Cruise extolling the virtues of the faith, viewed by millions of people around the world before it was pulled from YouTube.

But more than material for late-night talk hosts, the Church of Scientology is the belief system of more than 3.5 million Americans, including more than 18,000 people in the San Diego area, according to Dave Meyer, president of the Church of Scientology of San Diego.

Scientology has been called by some the only major new religion to emerge in the 20th century with no heritage from any mainstream Judeo-Christian faiths. Nor is it connected with the churches of Christian Science or Religious Science. Others, however, say Scientology is not a religion because of its methods, including the practice of charging for some of its services.

'We so respect him'

Scientology grew out of a best-selling book called "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health," published in 1950. The book includes a concept of God expressed as the urge toward existence as infinity or the supreme being.

The author of "Dianetics" was L. Ron Hubbard, a filmmaker, aviator, adventurer, photographer, philosopher and expert mariner. The founder of the Church of Scientology, he is considered a genius by his followers.

Among those followers are Kathy and Ed Marsh of Escondido. The library in their guesthouse is home to thousands of first edition and signed volumes, many written by Hubbard. The room also contains pieces of Hubbard memorabilia that Ed Marsh, a Scientologist since 1969, has collected over the years, such as a package of Hubbard's favorite Kool cigarettes and his early aviator helmet.

But Scientology is not about worshipping Hubbard, said Meyer, who has been the president of the Church of Scientology of San Diego for the last two years.

"We so respect him (Hubbard) for his deeds and accomplishments ... and for his caring factor," said Meyer.>>

Clear and Aesthetics

One of my favorite quotes from the Dianetics book goes as follows:

The glory and color of childhood vanishes as one progresses into later years. But the strange part of it is that htis glamour and beauty and sensitivity to life are not gone. They are encysted. one of the most remarkable experiences a Clear has is to find, in the process of therapy, that he is recovering appreciation of beauty in the world.
