Scientologist

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy. When I say "applied" I mean you actually use it in your life to change or improve existing conditions. This is different from a religious practice. All religions if you learn about them have a basic philosphy, but they also have certain dogma, rituals and observances, and a certain faith or belief is required. There is nothing wrong with this, but Scientology is not that kind of religion. It does not intrude on anyones faiths of beliefs particularly in the area of God , the Supreme Being, or the Infinite. This area is left totally up to the indivdual, which is why you can be a practicing Jew,for example and still use and apply the priniciples of Scientology in your life. It does not conflict. If anything it will enhance your understanding of your chosen religious practice.
You can have no specific religious beliefs and still benefit from using it.
And it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.
It is a non denominational religion . The dictionary definition that applies:
Religion: The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognises the existence of superhuman power or powers.

The most basic principle of Scientology is that YOU are your own immortal soul, that this is not a "thing" you HAVE but what YOU actually are.
The whole purpose of Scientology is to increase an individual's understanding and awareness of himself. And thereby his native abilities .
When you do this the sphere and zone of his positive influence increases and moves outward into his life, his family ,his friends, his groups and mankind which he is part of.

How this result is achieved is the "technology" of Scientology, which was developed by L.Ron Hubbard after his extensive research and the discoveries he made, about the human spirit. The basic religious philosophy and knowledge of Scientology is very old, going back 10,000 years at least to the Veda or Vedic Hymns from the East. The developement of the technology is new.
He completed his research before his death in 1986 and left all of his results and copyrights
to the Church of Scientology along with most of his considerable personal estate, when he died.

He published a book in 1951 to communicate the basic principles he discovered called: " Scientology The Fundementals of Thought"
There are currently over 8 million Scientologists in more that 150 countries world wide. However we are a new religion, only 53 years old.
The true story of Scientology as a religion goes like this:
1. A philosopher developes a philosophy about life and death.
2. People find it interesting.
3. People find it works.
4. People pass it along to others.
5. It grows.

Not promoting my religion here. Just most people don't know what it is about.

If there's a name for it, I'm not aware of it. I believe that spirituality is far more important than organized religion, which I believe have been severely tampered with by human "powers that be" over the centuries. I also believe that "the big picture" is far more complex than we can understand while in physical form.

My beliefs stem from a combination of reincarnation principles (that we come here to learn, grow, and teach) and principles from folks who have had NDE's, especially that of a life review. (In life reviews, one experiences the end results, both positive and negative, of all of their interactions with others, as though they were the other person. For someone like Hitler, this would be real "hell!")

The religion of God.
Every religion is the gateway to understanding God ONLY if we understand them. Many times the "holy books" and scriptures from Christian, Islam, Hindu, Buddhism, etc got misunderstood and misinterpreted by their followers that we have one group say one thing and another group say another.

I do not have a religion. I have my own personal spirituality. This leaves me to think on my own which gives me freedom from the definition of any religion.

Sometimes I'm all of them, and sometimes I'm none of them.

It eventually makes sense, but there's really not room for it here.
