Blow away the barriers to happiness

"A good Dianetic auditor* can take a broken-down, sorrow-drenched lady of thirty-eight and knock out her past periods of physical and mental pain and have on his hands somebody who appears to be twenty-five — and a bright, cheerful twenty-five at that."

— L. Ron Hubbard

*auditor: "The individual who administers Dianetic therapy."

If you've ever felt that there was something holding you back in life, ruining your plans and stopping you from being who you want to be — you were right.

The fact is, there is a single source of all your problems, stress, unhappiness and self-doubt.

It's called the reactive mind — the hidden part of your mind that stores all painful experiences, then uses them against you.

As L. Ron Hubbard stated in Dianetics:

"This is the mind which makes a man suppress his hopes, which holds his apathies, which gives him irresolution when he should act, and kills him before he has begun to live.

"It does anything and everything that can be found in any list of mental ills: psychoses, neuroses, compulsions, repressions ...

"It can give a man arthritis, bursitis, asthma, allergies, sinusitis, coronary trouble, high blood pressure, and so on down the catalog of psychosomatic ills ...

"And it is the only thing in the human being which can produce these effects. It is the thing which uniformly brings them about."

Also, your reactive mind acts on a less dramatic, but even more sinister way to lessen your abilities in life:

"The glory and color of childhood vanishes as one progresses into later years. But the strange part of it is that this glamour and beauty and sensitivity to life are not gone. They are encysted." — L. Ron Hubbard, from Dianetics

So, what does Dianetics accomplish exactly? The description from the Synopsis at the beginning of the book explains:

"Dianetics therapy may be briefly stated. Dianetics deletes all the pain from a lifetime...

"Dianetics leaves an individual full memory, but without pain. Exhaustive tests have demonstrated that hidden pain is not a necessity, but is invariably and always a liability to the health, skill, happiness and survival potential of the individual. It has no survival value."

Some of the questions you will find answered in this book are:
• What is the cause of migraine headaches and what's their uniform cure? [page 113]

• What are the three kinds of love? [page 371]

• What are the 3 levels of healing? [page 217]

• What are the different emotional levels that every human being goes through? [page 31]

• What's the actual cause of bad eyesight? [page 114]

• What is laughter's role in any therapy? [page 147]

• What are the three kinds of thought? [page 97]

• What are the 5 categories of all actions in life and how can you choose the right one? [page 181]

• What can dam up "life force" and how can you release it? [page 144]

• What is the lowest common denominator of all Man's activities? [page 25]
All of the above and more are answered in the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.

There's only one way to find out if the Dianetics procedure is everything millions of people say it is.

Don't just take my word for it. Try it.

Available in paperback for $20.00 or hardcover for $35.00 with free shipping, directly from the Publisher.

30-day money-back guarantee if for some reason you are not completely satisfied.

As L. Ron Hubbard says in the Introduction to Dianetics:

"You are beginning an adventure. Treat it as an adventure. And may you never be the same again." — L. Ron Hubbard

Success Stories from Dianetics users:

"When I was 14 my life became an uphill struggle. A severe injury left me with a crippling back pain 24 hours a day. I was told I would require treatment for the rest of my life and would have to live with the pain.

"Over the next 12 years, I looked everywhere for a solution. I even became a Doctor of Chiropractic, but still nothing could make the pain stop.

"Finally I tried Dianetics, and I found that the pain was being caused by the reactive mind. Within a few hours I stood up and, for the first time in 12 years, the pain was gone.

"Dianetics has the answers." — S. P.

"About 5 1/2 years ago, I was miserable. When things didn't go well I blamed someone else.

"I was always broke and relied heavily on my parents to bail me out.

"I was at a point where I knew I needed to change. I had read other self-help books, and I would get fired up for about a day, but that was it.

"Then I read Dianetics. Wow! Something clicked when I was reading it and I knew that this was it. It made sense and was something that I could do and see the results of, and they stayed with me.

"From that moment on, my life has been getting better." — Michael K.

Success Stories

Beantown — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 00:44:41 CST

I have been doing a volunteer program with a friend, mostly assists. The assists have been handling a chronic back problem, something she has been unable to handle with medical treatment. She says she feels better than she has in years, but then a few weeks ago she told me about an ongoing situation that she couldn't get her attention off of. Her daughter was no longer speaking to her, in fact the daughter recently had a baby (my friend's first grandchild) but didn't even call her to tell her the baby was born, and wouldn't return her phone calls. As you can imagine, this was very upsetting to my friend, especially since she felt there was nothing she could do about it.

Assists for Illnesses and Injuries.

Together we read the Cause of Suppression chapter from the Scientology Handbook, she got a glimmer of hope. We laid out a simple plan to take care of this situation, and over the next week she did the first few steps. Around that time, her daughter called and asked her to please come over. They had a good long cry with lots of hugging and cooing over the baby.

My friend is beside herself with happiness. She and her daughter talk every day now. This problem has been messing up her life on and off for years, and now she has completely handled it. Now she's reading the Scientology Handbook from cover to cover so she can find out what other things she can apply to herself and her family.

THE RELIGION OF SCIENTOLOGY
A DESCRIPTION

Scientology comprises a body of knowledge which extends from certain fundamental truths.

Prime among these truths:

Man is an immortal spiritual being.
His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime.
His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized.

Scientology further holds man to be basically good, and that his spiritual salvation depends upon himself and his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe. In that regard, Scientology is a religious philosophy in the most profound sense of the word, for it is concerned with no less than the full rehabilitation of man’s innate spiritual self — his capabilities, his awareness and his certainty of his own immortality. Furthermore, as religion deals with the spirit in relationship to itself, the universe and other life, and is essentially the belief in spiritual beings, Scientology follows a religious tradition that is at least as old as mankind. Yet what Scientology ultimately represents is new. Its religious technology is new, its ecclesiastical organization is new, and what it means to 21st-century man is entirely new.

At the heart of Scientology lie its axioms that precisely define the fundamental laws and truths of life, including who we are, what we are capable of, and most importantly, how we might realize our native spiritual abilities. These axioms form the foundation of a vast body of wisdom that applies to the entirety of all life. From this wisdom has come a great number of fundamental principles people can use to improve their immediate lives, as well as to achieve spiritual immortality. In fact, there is no aspect of life that cannot be improved through the application of Scientology principles.

Youth for Human Rights - Boston

United Nation Day - Youth for Human Rights - Boston

You could hear the proverbial pin drop while 14-year old Chris Luis performed a song based upon the United Nation’s Declaration of Human Rights last Tuesday at the unveiling the UN human rights being put to video form in a film-screening at the historic Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline.

“The song was based upon the United Nation’s Human Right article 18 which is Freedom of Thought,” said Luis, a Brockton High School singer and performer. “I believe that my newfound knowledge of these human rights will allow me and other youth to make a more positive difference in the world.”

The event was a film screening, hosted by Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) New England chapter, whose mission is to encourage young people to learn and champion human rights. Youth for Human Rights International was founded by former school principal and educator Mary Shuttleworth and is now sponsored by the Church of Scientology. In attendance were musicians, artists and dignitaries from nations such as Ethiopia and Venezuela.

“Chris’ performance of the song “I have the Right” was spectacular,” said Kelly Riley, local coordinator for YHRI, “as the words surrounding Freedom of Thought were vital considering the persecution of people throughout the world due to their thoughts and beliefs.”

Chris who attends Brockton High School, is a talented young singer and performer. He is currently working, on scholarship, with vocal coach Jennifer Truesdale at Jeannie Deva Voice Studios in Boston. “I never cease to be amazed and awed by this young man,” said Jennifer. “It isn’t just his talent, which is undeniable – it’s his dedication and work ethic that I find most inspiring.” Truesdale, who also represents Chris through her management company, feels strongly that he will have a successful career. Added Jennifer, “I see such confidence in Chris, confidence that I know will take him as far as he wants to go.”

Church of Scientology of Boston
Announces Human Rights Commitment for 2007

The Church of Scientology of Boston
has announced an even greater commitment in
2007 to combating human rights violations and increasing awareness through its education program.

Last June, the Church and Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) released a series of public service announcements to bring to life the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 30 or 60-second video spots. Appealing to young and old, these powerful PSAs have now aired on more than 2,200 TV stations, to 280 million people in 60 countries around the world. They have also been playing in colleges, movie theatres, concerts and cable stations throughout New England.

To spread its message further, YHRI representatives embarked on a world tour covering 60,000 miles last July and August. The tour, “30 Days-30 Events-30 Rights,” began and ended in Los Angeles and visited Canada, eight countries in Europe, seven in Asia as well as Australia, New Zealand and the Fiji Islands. Events were held in each country, where YHRI met with government leaders and officials, human rights organizations, educators, media, students, religious groups and youth groups.

“The keynote of our campaign is education,” stated Gerard Renna “A young person who understands his human rights is starting life with the right values. He will treat people with respect, and he will not tolerate violations of these rights. By teaching youth about human rights, we are creating a generation of human rights activists.”

Additionally 2006 saw the launch of the Human Rights Hero Awards in countries all over the world to recognize outstanding achievements in the promotion of human rights. Local winners were also awarded in Boston and a New England delegation attended the New York event last August. The awards culminated in an international ceremony held in the United Nations headquarters in New York last August. Awardees ranged from a former Army colonel from Uganda who is spearheading activities to bring an end to the use of child soldiers, to a 12-year-old student in Israel who has taken it upon himself to educate his entire school using the YHRI educational tools.

The Church’s Human Rights Department and YHRI have continued to tackle one of the worst human rights abuses-human trafficking. Now a $9.5 billion a year criminal enterprise, it is the fastest growing with an estimated 600,000 to 800,000 victims trafficked across international borders, according to a United Nations news statement of November 2005. Several human trafficking conferences were held or participated in last year, and YHRI also produced an informational flyer about human trafficking for children.

“Working hand in hand with other human rights organizations, we plan to increase public awareness of this appalling human rights abuse. We cannot allow slavery in the 21st century,” said Gerard Renna.

By the close of 2006, 80 Youth for Human Rights groups or chapters existed in 36 countries. The New England chapter is directed by Kelly Riley, a professional singer/songwriter who volunteers her time to help get out this important message and get Youth for Human Rights clubs started.

For more information about starting a chapter you can visit Ms. Riley’s web log Youth for Human Rights - Boston or the Youth for Human Rights International website.

Berlin, Germany

January 13, 2007 -- The Church of Scientology of Berlin opened its new home today in Charlottenburg to over 5000 church members (including Academy Award nominated actress Anne Archer and Jazz legend Chick Corea), government officials and community leaders, with an invitation to all Berliners to find out about Scientology for themselves.

"Therein lies the reason for this Church, so that you can answer the question 'What is Scientology?' for yourself," said the Berlin Church's president, Sabine Weber. "Our doors are open to you -- to everyone. We want you to find out for yourself who we really are. We want you to find out for yourself what we really do."

To make this possible, the ground floor of the 4,000-square-meter, 6-story glass and steel structure which is located at Otto-Suhr-Allee and Cauer Street in the Charlottenburg District, contains an extensive walk-through audio-visual public information center on Scientology beliefs and practices and the Church's activities in Berlin and around the world. Displays present the life and accomplishments of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard and the internationally acclaimed programs that use his discoveries to combat drug abuse, illiteracy, criminality, immorality and human rights violations.

The new Church in Berlin is a reflection of the world scope of Scientology today, which comprises more than 7,500 churches, missions and groups across 163 nations. Each is dedicated to achieving the Aims of Scientology -- including a world without war, without insanity and without criminality, where the able may prosper and all are free to rise to greater heights. Internationally, 1,500 new churches, missions and groups opened in the past year, and growth in the past five years has exceeded the previous five decades combined.

For Berlin members, the Charlottenburg building not only multiplies all facilities for training and counseling in the religion, it enables the Church to bring Scientology's international social reform and betterment programs on a much larger scale to the city.

Ms. Weber described the dedication of Scientologists to make human rights a reality with a global campaign to raise public awareness of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; to steer youth from drugs with the Church's - Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life - drug education program in 53 nations; to decrease civil commotion and crime through distribution of the common-sense moral code, The Way to Happiness; and to bring help to disaster relief efforts through the tens of thousands of Scientology Volunteer Ministers world over.

Guest speakers welcoming the Church to its new home in Berlin included Mr. Bernhard Stitz, a 30-year police officer; Professor Jurgen Redhardt, Professor emeritus at Giessen University; Dr. Hubertus Mynarek, theologian and sociologist; and Mr. Almog Burstin, joining the event from Israel, a founding member of the European Foundation for Human Rights and Tolerance.

Thousands of Scientologists and friends from Germany and across Europe visited the new Church on its opening day.

"In the very tradition of religions creating a climate for Peace on Earth," said Ms. Weber, "we moved into the twenty-first century by building churches like this one on four continents. Each is situated on the cultural crossroads, so that anyone may find what we are and what we represent."

Other new Scientology Churches recently opened include London, Madrid, New York, San Francisco and Johannesburg. Similar new churches are under construction and scheduled for completion in 2007 in Belgium, Italy, Denmark, Australia and Taiwan.

"Our new churches are prominent and intentionally so," said Ms. Weber. "As for why, it is inherent in every new Church of Scientology to be an active and responsible participant and member of the community in which they live. We also recognize that the Church of Scientology's increased public awareness inevitably results in questions regarding our beliefs and practices -- and our new churches provide large exhibits open to the public so they can find answers to their questions."

The Church of Scientology of Berlin welcomes visitors and offers tours seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information on the Church and its programs, visit the Scientology Press Office

Boston Scientology Ministry

Beantown — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 11:25:33 CST

Description:

The Boston Scientology Ministry is sponsored by the parishioners of the Church of Scientology of Boston and provides a free community center to the inner-city of Boston. The ministry is open to people of all ages and seeks to empower the individual through literacy, morals and other services. The ministry also assists other agencies in setting up literacy and non-violence programs by providing materials and training.

The center is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 3:00 to 6:00, and by special appointment. One-on-one tutoring is offered to assist those individuals who are having difficulty with their schooling and a complete phonics program is available to those in need of improved reading skills. Programs are available to the public that provide parenting and community service skills. Such programs include the "How to Reduce the Violence with Effective Education" program. This program is also available for presentations at other agencies.

History:
The Boston Scientology Ministry was established by Rev. Robert Castagna in the summer of 2004 to assist the community in reducing crime and violence. The Volunteer Minister program was originally created by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology in the mid 1970's. Mr. Hubbard concluded that crime was rising in direct proportion to the decline of religious influence in society and thereby developed the Volunteer Minister movement as a means of providing practical assistance to those in need. The ministry's programs are available to the citizens of Dorchester and the surrounding area free of charge and regardless of race, color or creed.
