The doctrine of Scientology beliefs and practices centers around the concept that all people are immortal spiritual beings called thetans. Scientology teaches that thetans have a long history in this universe going back over innumerable lifetimes and are presently in a degraded state. Scientologists study L. Ron Hubbard's theories and techniques and apply them to themselves and others in the belief that they can improve their spiritual state and someday achieve the goal of "Full OT" (Operating Thetan), sometimes also referred to as "Native State". Scientology teaches that a thetan is basically good and trying to survive. No person survives alone, but does so ultimately in coordination with their fellows, and with the greater world around them.
Scientology takes a very dim view of the usefulness of our physical bodies, and in fact, the entire physical universe as well. Hubbard called the physical world MEST, which is something we, as ethereal Thetans temporarily operating our "meat bodies", are meant to transcend and conquer. [24]
In 1982 Hubbard authored Pain and Sex, an official Scientology bulletin in which the biological act of sex and the body's ability to feel pain were announced to be "the invented tools of degradation" created by psychiatrists millions of years ago. According to Hubbard, "When sex enters the scene, a being fixates and loses power", and "Lovers are very seldom happy. Women are encouraged to be as silent as possible and avoid taking drugs during birth. Newborns are deemed especially vulnerable to induced engrams and trauma transmitted from their mother or acquired from their environment.
The 'Purification Rundown, known as "The Purif" within Scientology, is a program of "detoxification" developed by L. Ron Hubbard, involving the use of saunas, exercise, vitamins, and the drinking of oils. While it is heavily promoted as a health regimen within Scientology, and in Scientology's rehabilitation program Narconon, the procedure is viewed as dangerous by most medical professionals, as it calls for saunas and vitamins far in excess of what mainstream medicine considers safe levels.
The Purification Rundown is usually the first step for a Scientologist towards going "Clear". The program usually takes about two weeks. As well as spending time in saunas, Scientologists are required to do light calisthenics.
There are many holidays, commemorations and observances in the Church, notably L. Ron Hubbard's birthday in March; the Anniversary of the first publication of Dianetics in May; and a holiday honoring all auditors, called Auditor's Day, in September. Most official celebrations are scheduled on weekends as a convenience to parishioners. Scientologists also celebrate secular holidays such as New Year's Eve, and other local celebrations. For example, many exchange gifts at Christmas where this holiday is a popular tradition.

The Creed of the Church of Scientology was written by L. Ron Hubbard shortly after the Church was first formed in Los Angeles on February 18, 1954. It reads as follows:
We of the Church believe:
That all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights;
That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their performance;
That all men have inalienable rights to their own lives;
That all men have inalienable rights to their sanity;
That all men have inalienable rights to their own defense;
The Creed continues on the below site.
