ones who most directly contribute to its upkeep and

continued existence. Naturally, no donation is expected

from those not receiving auditing or training. And church

doors are always open to those who wish to learn more

about the philosophy of Scientology, be they parishioners

or not. There are tape plays of L. Ron Hubbard's

lectures, introductory lectures, books available, people

to discuss questions with, and of course the more

traditional church activities -- Sunday service, sermons,

weddings, christenings, funerals -- all of which are

provided without any donation necessary.

Scientology does not have hundreds of years of

accumulated wealth and property like other religions -

it must make its way in the world according to the

economics of today's society.

Scientologists' donations keep the Church alive and

functioning, fund its widespread social reform programs,

make Scientology known to people who may otherwise never

have the opportunity to avail themselves of it, and help

create a safe and pleasant environment for everyone.

8. 2 Why does one have to make donations to separate

organizations for their services?

Scientology churches and missions are separate

corporations and have separate financial records. The

donations that go to each church for services delivered

by that church must be separately banked and accurate

records kept in alignment with the accounting procedures

and laws in each country.

8. 3 What about those who cannot afford to make donations for

services?

There is a Free Scientology Center in churches of

Scientology where those who cannot afford the donations

can receive free auditing from ministerial students.

Many Scientology services are free and the knowledge is

free to all men. There are also books, books, books and

free public lectures, Sunday services and other religious

services for which there is no cost. Books can be

obtained in the local area either by going to a church of

Scientology, a public bookstore or local library.

But it's interesting that once a person becomes more

causative through the application of Scientology

technology in his life, he does not usually need or want

free services for very long. He becomes capable of

holding a good job and thereby able to exchange for the

services he wants.

Ministers-in-training can receive free auditing from

other students while they are doing their training.

8. 4 Is the Church profit-making?

No. Scientology churches are nonprofit organizations, as

the donations all go back into the support and expansion

of the Church.

8. 5 How much does it cost to go Clear?

The cost varies from individual to individual depending

on which route to Clear one takes.

One route is to pay for professional auditing and get

audited all the way up to Clear. The preferred route,

however, is to get trained as an auditor and co-audit

with another Scientology student. The co-auditing route

to Clear requires far less donations than professional

auditing plus one helps another to progress. As

professional auditing is much more expensive for the

organization to deliver (requiring several staff to

service one parishioner) the donations are necessarily

higher. Training donation rates are much more economical

and an incentive for persons to train while they co-audit

without cost to the state of Clear.

No matter which route one chooses to achieve the state of

Clear, all who have attained it express the pricelessness

of the increased spiritual freedom they have achieved.

8. 6 How well paid are Scientology staff?

The pay varies from church to church and from time to

time. Staff are paid in proportion to the amount of

donations received by their individual organizations.

Thus, staff members are in control of how much they make

by virtue of how well they perform individually on their

own jobs.

In any event, Scientology staff aren't motivated by money

and in no instance anywhere in the church structure is

pay exorbitant. Scientology staff are motivated by a

desire to help, not get rich.

[8. 6 Are donations made to the Church of Scientology tax

deductible in the United States? ]

[Yes, according to a 1993 decision by the IRS, donations

of any kind made to the Church of Scientology (including

auditing and training donations), are tax deductible in

the United States. ]

9. SCIENTOLOGY BOOKS

9. 1 What is the best book for a beginning Scientologist to

read?

_Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health_ which is

the best-selling self-help book of all time, is the book

recommended for beginners who are interested in the mind

and how it works. This book has been a best-seller for

over forty years.

In 1977, 'Publishers Weekly' called _Dianetics: The

Modern Science of Mental Health_ " perhaps the

best-selling non-Christian book of all time in the West. "

In 1988, 'Publishers Weekly' awarded _Dianetics_ its

prestigious " Century Award" for more than 100 weeks on

its best-seller list, officially designating it the No.

1 best-selling self-help book of all time.

If a person is more interested in starting with a broad

summary of L. Ron Hubbard's research and findings about

man as a spiritual being and basic principles of life,

the first recommended book is _Scientology: The

Fundamentals of Thought_. (Chapter 41 [of _What is

Scientology? _] gives a more detailed explanation of the

books available and suggested course of reading. )

9. 2 Are the books difficult to understand?

Not at all. The books are quite easy to understand.

Depending on what aspect of Scientology and Dianetics you

are most interested in, any church Bookstore Officer can

recommend the best sequence in which the books should be

read.

9. 3 Where can L. Ron Hubbard's books be purchased?

All of his books are available at missions and churches

of Scientology. Many of his books are also available in

popular bookstores and in libraries in cities all over

the world.

Dianetics books contain knowledge one can actually apply

in life. Being able to accomplish these improvements

definitely makes people happier.

10. DIANETICS

10. 1 What is Dianetics?

L. Ron Hubbard discovered the single source of stress,

worry, self-doubt and psychosomatic illness -- the

reactive mind. In his book _Dianetics: The Modern Science

of Mental Health_ he described the reactive mind in

detail and laid out a simple, practical, easily taught

technology to overcome it and reach the state of Clear.

Dianetics (which means " through soul" ) is that

technology.

10. 2 What is the mind? Where is the mind?

The mind is basically a communication and control system

between the thetan -- the spiritual being that is the

person himself -- and his environment. It is composed of

mental image pictures which are recordings of past

experiences.

The individual uses his mind to pose and resolve problems

related to survival and to direct his efforts according

to these solutions.

10. 3 What is the difference between the analytical mind and the

reactive mind?

The analytical mind is the conscious, aware mind which

thinks, observes data, remembers it and resolves

problems. The reactive mind is the portion of a person's

mind which works on a totally stimulus-response basis,

which is not under his volitional control, and which

exerts force and the power of command over his awareness,

purposes, thoughts, body and actions.

10. 4 What is the difference between Scientology and Dianetics?

Dianetics is a technology which uncovers the source of

unwanted sensations and emotions, accidents, injuries and

psychosomatic illnesses, and which sets forth effective

handlings for these conditions.

'Dianetics' comes from the Greek 'dia' meaning " through"

and 'nous', " soul. " It is further defined as " what

the soul is doing to the body. "

'Scientology' is the study and handling of the spirit in

relationship to itself, universes and other life. It is

used to increase spiritual freedom, intelligence and

ability and to enable a person to realize his own

immortality.

Dianetics and Scientology are *separate* subjects, but

the delivery of each has in common certain tools like the

E-Meter and the basic rules of auditing.

--------

11. SCIENTOLOGY AND DIANETICS COURSES

11. 1 What training should a person take first?

The first action a person should take in his Scientology

training is to read a book, such as _Dianetics: The

Modern Science of Mental Health_ or _Scientology: The

Fundamentals of Thought_. He can study these on an

extension course which is designed to help people

understand the basic fundamentals of L. Ron Hubbard's

books and find out about Scientology for themselves. The

lessons in the course are completed and mailed in to the

Extension Course Supervisor who grades them and informs

the student by return mail what his grade is and any

parts of the book he may have misunderstood.

After completing a book or extension course, he should go

into a church and see one of the Public Division

Registrars who can help him decide which course he should

do next. There are many different services available. For

instance, many Life Improvement Courses exist, on such

subjects as marriage, children, work, relationships with

others and personal integrity. These help a person move

from effect to cause in a specific area of life. Or there

is the Hubbard Dianetics Seminar which utilizes Dianetics

auditing techniques based on _Dianetics: The Modern

Science of Mental Health_, providing as much Dianetics

auditing to a person as he wants and giving him

experience applying Dianetics to another. There is also

the Success Through Communication Course which teaches

the basic communication skills one needs to succeed in

social or other situations.

Factually, it is best to talk to someone to find out

which of the many courses available is addressed most

directly to what one wants to handle or improve in life.

11. 2 What does one get out of Scientology and Dianetics

courses?

Training gives a person the knowledge and tools to handle

life. A basic datum in Scientology is that what one

learns is only as valuable as it can be applied, and as

it helps one do better in life. This is why Scientology

is correctly called an *applied* religious philosophy.

The information and technology a person learns is not

just to increase his understanding (although it will

definitely do that as well), but it is for USE.

Although many Scientologists become practicing

Scientology ministers, many others simply use the data in

their everyday lives, on the job, and with their friends

and family members. They report that life becomes more

confrontable, their abilities increase and they are

happier because they are winning in the game of life.

11. 3 How are Scientology and Dianetics training different from

studying philosophy or other religions?

The major difference is that Scientology and Dianetics

training give one *tools* to use in life. Whereas

studying other philosophies or religions may provide

information that is interesting, only in Scientology does

the individual get the exact tools he needs to change and

improve conditions in his life.

11. 4 Should I get my auditing before I get trained?

L. Ron Hubbard has written many times about the fact that

50 percent of one's gains are from training and 50

percent are from auditing. It is actually impossible to

successfully make it through the upper processing levels

of Scientology without also being trained. Therefore, to

get the most from Scientology, one progresses in his

training simultaneously with or at a comparable rate to

his progress in auditing.

11. 5 When can I take Scientology courses?

Most churches of Scientology are open from 9: 00 in the

morning until 10: 30 at night weekdays and 9: 00 a. m. to

6: 00 p. m. on weekends. Several different course schedules

are offered within these hours.

11. 6 How are Scientology courses run?

Scientology training is unique. Each course is done by

following a checksheet. A checksheet is a list of

materials, divided into sections, that lay out the theory

and practical steps which, when completed, lead one to a

study completion. The items contained on the checksheet,

such as books, recorded lectures and other written

materials, add up to the required knowledge of the

subject. Each student moves through his checksheet at his

own rate. This ensures nobody is ever held back by slower

students, and no one is under pressure from faster

students. A trained Course Supervisor is always available

to help the student, to refer him to the exact mate

rials, to answer his questions and to ensure he is

applying standard study technology to gain the full

benefits from his studies.

11. 7 When do I actually gain experience in auditing others?

Every major training course in Scientology is followed by

an internship. This is a period of auditing others under

the supervision of technical experts. In this way, an

auditor's skills are honed and polished to a very high
