How can I best communicate what Scientology is?

Question

I am a Scientologist, Dianetics Counselor and a personal coach in San Diego. I would like to know how you think I should contact and reach people about getting a free personality analysis, attending a Dianetics Seminar or Emotional Tone Scale Workshop that gives a person tools with which to predict anyone's behavior by figuring out their true emotional tone,i.e. how to choose your people. I really like to help people and wake them up. I'm very anti-drugs, anti-psychiatry.
Thanks. Pam

Answer 1

You shouldn't, scientology is a scam.

Answer 2

Hi Pam

The correct use of this particular forum is asking and answering questions about religions and spirituality in general.
It is not for promoting any particular religion. The internet has many unofficial collaberative sites which contain false and dissafected information about many things including Scientology. This site is also used by a few to create rumors and spread false information about various religions, (approx 20% !).
Quite often there will be questions about Scientology.
Best to just answer these questions with factual information or personal experience.
This is what I post when someone just asks what it is.

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. It is a very practical religion.
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 in the area of God , the Supreme Being, or the Infinite. This area is left totally up to the indivdual as pasrt of his life. It does not conflict.
You can have no specific religious beliefs and still benefit from it.
And it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.
It is also not a messianic religion. This means there is no worship of messiahs in Scientology. There are no “beliefs” as such because a truth should be according to ones own observation and experience.
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 lifeAnd 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. L. Ron Hubbard researched and made new discoveries about the human spirit. He developed technology from these discoveries to apply to increase spiritual awareness and ability.
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 10 million Scientologists in more than 163 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.

This is just an overview.
L. Ron Hubbard explained fully the theology and technologies of Scientology in more than 500,000 pages of writings, including dozens of books and over 2,000 tape-recorded public lectures. So it's not possible to fully answer your question on this forum.

Best to apply basic PTS/SP, PR and Tone Scale tech.
Don't feed or respond to the "entheta".
Hope this helps.

This is strange. You seem like an intelligent person. Maybe I'm off on this one but here goes. Doesn't Scientology support the idea of getting what you want from people through intimidation. I once attended a seminar and I must say that it was somewhat interesting but also extremely appalling. I don't believe that God would ever want us to act in this manner toward each other. If you need to undermine people in order to succeed or to get what you want from them I can hardly believe that you could ever feel good about yourself and if you can you're only fooling yourself. The practice of Scientology puts people to sleep in God's eyes. I guarantee it. Personally, I'd rather be awake for eternity. Good luck Pam. You need it. We'll pray for you.

Answer 4

I believe the way South Park explained Scientology is the only way to present this "religion". Just because Hollywood is doing it does not make it ok. That's a bad Pam Bad. As for psychiatry and drugs there are some freaks out there who need that stuff.

Answer 5

Well, I think you might be asking two different questions here...

I am not an expert in 'field testing' for personalities but I can answer the first one (the title of the question).

Scientology was spawned as a bet that religion could be used as a profit sham. Rich people get the assurances of 'holiness' by the price of money, not virtue or integrity.

ITS A GIMMICK!

Answer 6

you can let people know to look at http://www.xenu.net and see actualy accounts of scientologists and the informative south park episode for an easier format to understand the higher doctrines of scientology.

Answer 7

There are several effective ways to scam people.
One good way is to pick out people who are susceptible to scams, So pick people who are not too bright, elderly, and apparently movie stars.
Next, you want to present an air of confidence about yourself, and make the mark believe that what you want him to do will benefit him in the end even if it hurts him now. Convince the guy that if he can only give up $200 right now, he will never need drugs or psychiatry.
If you are really good, you can get him to give you money over and over, AND be thankful.

Happy hunting!

Answer 8

How about telling them the truth right off the bat?

That we are all "infected" with a couple hundred alien consciousnesses from a far off planet? And that god is a delusion taught to these souls via video played to them in transit to Earth? That should help you get plenty of converts.

Answer 9

I see you've been POUNDED with answers here. Sorry. But I'll be honest, I really do not understand the "Fee" to knowledge. For, what? 300,000 dollars? What if you can't afford the Fee, do you go to alienic "Hell?" What it seems, is an ideaology for ufo's, bad evolution, The graphic novel of "war of the Worlds" and well, over-the-hill Actors. So zenu? is it? is supposed to come down and take me away, according to how much money I paid and climbed the"Mysterious" pyramid? Have you even seen a ufo LAND? Most of the time they just visit. You know, kinda just hover around.. ("Well, we don't wanna land down there...We saw Tom Cruise on Oprah....")(I'm really srry for that one...)

Answer 10
